Jiang Mianmian looked at him with a charming expression on her face.
"I don't want to say anything, nor can I make any hasty conclusions. After all... she's your two brothers' 'good buddy'!"
When Jiang Mianmian said this, she blinked her big eyes, dragged out the sound, and raised the last syllable, like a cunning little fox.
Huo Junyu was caught off guard by her, and he wanted to laugh at the same time, but he also wanted to use a little "violence" on her. So he suddenly pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Jiang Mianmian sensed the dangerous aura emanating from the man, pushed him hard, and gave him a wink.
Huo Junyang held Lu Ran's small hand, and the two deliberately walked ahead, not looking at them.
Huo Junyu smiled and whispered in Jiang Mianmian's ear, "If you don't like He Sirui, I won't associate with her anymore."
"No way!" Jiang Mianmian's eyes widened. "She's a guest from Grandma's side, and she's also a childhood playmate of yours and Junyang's. It wouldn't be appropriate to suddenly distance yourself from her, would it?"
"Oh..." Huo Junyu nodded, and said solemnly, "Then I will gradually distance myself!"
Jiang Mianmian laughed, wrapped her little arms around his waist, and rested her head on his shoulder.
The sea breeze blows away the summer heat, bringing a touch of coolness. The starry sky sparkles like gems on a blue curtain, tranquil and serene.
The laughter of the four gradually blended into the distant night.
*
Huo Junyu harbored some resentment during this period.
Jiang Mianmian is busy with her career every day, and he feels neglected. Sometimes, even when he is in a meeting at the company, he is absent-minded and checks his phone from time to time, but there is not even a single message.
He flipped his phone over and slammed it face down on the table, startling everyone else.
Huo Zhixing glared at him: "What are you doing?"
Huo Junyang stepped in to smooth things over: "It's nothing, Dad. My brother just got pimples next to his nose lately! He's been holding it in and getting a sore throat!"
Huo Zhixing didn't understand the code, pursed his lips, and continued the meeting.
Huo Junyu snapped back to reality and focused on his work. He proposed several investment plans, which were meticulously planned and offered high returns. After listening to them, Huo Zhixing finally smiled, his usually stern face breaking into a smile.
"I heard your Uncle Shan is also actively transforming his business, wanting to enter the venture capital field." Huo Zhixing looked at him. "When you have time, go visit Lu's Group, and while you're at it..."
However, when he looked up, he found that before he could finish speaking, his son had already disappeared without a trace.
Huo Zhixing arrived at the Lu family's residence as quickly as possible.
His secretary led him to Jiang Mianmian. At the office door, he saw the young woman working hard and earnestly.
The documents on the table were piled high and messy, and thick design drawings were also stacked on the small conference table next to it.
Unlike the glamorous white-collar workers in TV dramas, Jiang Mianmian was dressed in the simplest white shirt and jeans, with her hair loosely tied in a ponytail and a few strands falling in front of her forehead.
She had long since changed out of her high heels, which sat forlornly in the corner. Now, she was wearing a pair of comfortable leather slippers.
Huo Junyu taught her this: there's a dressing room in the office, so you can always keep formal attire there. When you're not meeting clients, you can dress however you feel comfortable.
After all, they are both workaholics who may work more than ten hours a day. Wearing formal attire is too tiring and makes them less efficient.
"Young Master Huo, aren't you going in?" the secretary asked.
Huo Junyu smiled gently, letting her leave first, and then stood at the office door for a while longer.
Until Jiang Mianmian discovered him.
"When did you arrive!" Jiang Mianmian was both surprised and delighted. She ran over like a little sparrow and grabbed his hand. "You didn't even tell me you were coming. How long have you been standing outside?"
Huo Junyu glanced at his watch and smiled, "Exactly half an hour."
"What?"
"I saw you were studying the materials very seriously, so I didn't disturb you."
Huo Junyu touched her small face. It was already a small face, but now it had become much thinner. He felt a little sorry for her, so he immediately called the hotel to send food over and specifically asked them to make ginseng chicken soup.
However, upon further considering my own situation...
He clearly has a fiancée, but these days he can't even hold her hand.
I finally had a chance to go on a date with Jiang Mianmian a few days ago, but the little girl fell asleep as soon as she got in the car, without any politeness.
Huo Junyu was both amused and exasperated. In order not to disturb her sleep and to spend more time with her, he had no choice but to drive around the streets.
Thinking of this, he felt a little sorry for himself, so he made another phone call and specifically asked them to make two servings of ginseng chicken soup.
Jiang Mianmian laughed and pinched his cheek with her little hand.
"When are you finally going to spare me some time?" Huo Junyu asked with a resentful look in his eyes.
Jiang Mianmian said softly, "Now that the Lu family is transforming, venture capital is indeed a good business. At least let me understand the basic information about this industry, okay?"
Looking at the documents on the table, Huo Junyu sighed softly, "You clearly studied architecture, but now you're really engrossed in researching economics and investment!"
Jiang Mianmian sensed a hint of affectation in his voice, but simply smiled and remained silent.
"Mianmian, I still hope you will draw up the blueprints and build the house." Huo Junyu took a step forward, getting closer to her, and breathed hot air into her ear. "Just build one for me."
Jiang Mianmian's eyes crinkled with amusement. "Keeping a mistress in a golden cage, huh
Huo Junyu's eyes lit up. "Sure, sure, I don't mind!"
"I mind!" Jiang Mianmian tapped his head. "You're so big, you can't hide it! How much material would that take?"
After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter.
Huo Junyu suddenly noticed a document on the table that looked very familiar; it was the investment list that He Sirui had given her that day.
"You still kept it?" He was quite surprised.
“Yes,” Jiang Mianmian said frankly. “I have done a detailed background check on this list. These companies are all leaders in emerging industries. Although they are not local companies in Yangcheng, they are definitely worth a try.”
Huo Junyu narrowed his eyes slightly.
After looking at the list that day, he carefully wrote it down and has been secretly conducting background checks on it these past few days.
As Jiang Mianmian said, the results showed that these were all promising companies.
But he always felt that something was amiss.
“Mianmian,” he said in a low voice, “investment is risky, I think you should be careful.”
“I understand.” Jiang Mianmian smiled. “But the Lu family is facing a transformation now, and having this list has really saved me a lot of effort.”
Be careful in everything you do!
"Okay." Jiang Mianmian nodded in agreement.
After finishing lunch, Huo Junyu rushed back to the company. Jiang Mianmian stretched and was about to get back to work when her phone vibrated; it was a message from He Sirui.
"Mianmian, what do you think about those new companies I told you about last time? Several of the bosses want to meet with you! How about we meet at a bar this time? It's lively there, and it's easier to make a successful deal there!"
Jiang Mianmian paused for a moment, then smiled slightly, a shrewd glint in her eyes.
She replied with two words: Okay.
