I can only envy the fish.
A flicker of sadness crossed Zhao Jiequn's eyes. The person was right in front of him, yet he felt an overwhelming loneliness. He picked up his glass of red wine and took a large gulp. It seemed that only in this way could he dispel his desolate mood.
“Dai Dai, there’s actually something else I wanted to tell you today. I shouldn’t say it, but consider it a little gift from me. Huo Tuan will soon have a competitor, and your beauty Huo will face its strongest rival yet. The lineup of investors is impressive, including the Jin family, the Hua family, Huading, and even my father is very interested.”
“I tried to stop him, but my dad said that the domestic food market is so big that Huotuan alone can't handle it. You can't put all your eggs in one basket.

Xue Qiandai suddenly stood up, which wasn't exactly something to be happy about for Huo Meiren. She picked up her phone and hesitated.

“Young Master Zhao, you helped me once, and I will repay you once in the future,” Xue Qiandai solemnly promised.
Zhao Jiequn laughed; he didn't want her to pay him back. It was better if she kept the debt. That way, even a simple meal and a chat would be wonderful.
