Compared to his professional and entrepreneurial fields, Huo Yunchao was indifferent and slow to understand love. It was Xue Qiandai who opened his understanding of love. From then on, all his love, his flirting, and his thoughts were given to Daidai.
As for Yu Xue, their paths only crossed because of her mother.
"Senior brother, I understand what you mean."
They are indeed a highly intelligent group; they know when to stop speaking.
Unexpectedly, Gu Fan changed the subject, "Although there are some coincidences involved, I don't think Yu Xue could have arranged all of this by herself. Although Youyue Club can't compare to the four major clubs, it still has some foundation and high-net-worth clients. As for Yu Xue bribing the club's staff, putting something in Xue Shimei's tea, and locking the door beforehand, I don't think she has the power to do that."
So Yu Xue is just one link in the chain? Or is it a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?
"How's the investigation on Gao Qiang going?"
Gu Fan looked around before saying, "He's a scoundrel. Many people at Huading are terrified of him. Two years ago, he was sued for sexually harassing a female employee in the office. The case was later settled. I suppose the woman knew how difficult the case was, so she asked for some benefits to settle things."
Huo Yunchao had no intention of acting on behalf of Heaven, but it concerned Dai Dai. If Dai Dai hadn't brought equipment and remained vigilant, he didn't know what might have happened to her. This made him feel somewhat fearful.
"Senior, is it possible to find female employees who were harassed by Gao Qiang, or women who have already left the company, to testify against Gao Qiang? I will cover all the legal costs incurred."
Gu Fan gave Huo Yunchao a deep look. This was going to offend his junior brother's sore spot, and Xue Qiandai was that sore spot. The matter was difficult, and Gu Fan didn't dare to make any promises. "I'll do my best to investigate. In these kinds of situations, many innocent women have to swallow their anger and suffer in silence."
The world is going to the dogs, and Huo Yunchao can't expect everyone to be as strong as Dai Dai. Huo Yunchao glanced at the ward again; indeed, the woman he had his eye on was different. "Oh, by the way, senior brother, you've obtained the evidence. Make a copy and provide it to the police. Also, there's something else I'd like to ask you. The Xue family went bankrupt, and Dai Dai's father went to jail. Follow up on that as well. Because, as far as I know, Huading Fund and the Xue Group have collaborated before."
Huo Yunchao's guess pointed to another possibility. The mastermind might be Xue's father's enemy. The real reason for targeting Dai Dai was her identity—she was the daughter of the Xue family.
"Okay, I understand. I'll contact you anytime if there's any news."
After Gu Fan left, Huo Yunchao returned to the ward and found the bed empty. He panicked and began searching the entire floor with his long legs.
Then, he saw Xue Qiandai, dressed in a hospital gown, walking towards him with an air of nonchalance. The hospital gown, like a fashionable battle robe, was swayed with a cat-like gait by her.
"Dai Dai!" Huo Yunchao, his heart finally at ease, pulled Xue Qiandai into his arms. "Where did you go? I was so scared."
Xue Qiandai patted her shoulder and smiled innocently, "I'm so tired I feel like my bones are going to fall apart. I want to be discharged."
Huo Yunchao couldn't bear to go against her wishes, so he said, "Alright, let's get discharged."
On Saturday afternoon, Xue Qiandai was discharged from the hospital and returned to the Xianghu Bay Villa.
Since renting the new place, she has spent very little time there.
Huo Yunchao, the driver, finally got to see his true face. Looks like he'll know where to stake out locations from now on.
Jian Yan prepared some home-style dishes, intending to invite Huo Yunchao to eat with her. However, Huo Yunchao received a notification from Tiansheng Group that Tiansheng and Sequoia Capital would invest in the Huotuan project and jointly establish a new company with Chaoxun. The new company would be affiliated with Chaoxun Technology, with Huo Yunchao serving as CEO and possessing absolute controlling stake and say in the company. Huo Yunchao left before they could even finish their meal.
Xue Qiandai escorted the beauty to the underground parking garage. The two had been inseparable for the past few days, and it was a little hard to part ways now.
Xue Qiandai, who basically disregarded the concept of modesty, was the first to climb into the Mercedes-Benz. After Huo Yunchao entered, she secretly climbed onto his lap and cupped his face in her hands.
"It's time for a goodbye kiss."
The girl's conquest began on her forehead and continued southward.
Passing through the eyelash barrier, heading straight for the bridge of the nose, and finally meeting at the lips.
Huo Yunchao's heart was moved and moistened by her kiss; his peach blossom eyes were filled with passion and desire.
"You don't want me to leave? Then come with me!"
No, Xue Qiandai secretly wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate the beauty's departure.
Only when he's gone can she focus on her career with peace of mind. The distance is quite large, so she needs to take bigger steps. Otherwise, he'll always be worrying about her.
However, the truth cannot be told.
Her smile was alluring but not lewd. "My beauty, I'll marry you after I've settled down! Be a good girl!"
It's unclear who initiated the flirting between the two. Huo Yunchao took the initiative, responding to her enthusiasm.
“Dai Dai, I want you.” Huo Yunchao’s enchanting and magnetic voice boomed in my ear.
Being a cultured person, I can't bring myself to say anything too mushy, but I can borrow from other languages.
Xue Qiandai's heart almost gave in. She shouted rather weakly, "A fireball as betrothal gift, a fireball as betrothal gift, haha."
Huo Yunchao agreed earnestly, "It's a deal. Once Huotuan's market value exceeds 100 million, you'll marry me."
For an ordinary person, this would be nothing more than a worthless check, but the person speaking was Huo Yunchao. In his plan, the initial marketing and promotion expenses for Huotuan would exceed one hundred million yuan.
"Okay, sure."
After seeing Huo Meiren off, Xue Qiandai rushed back to the villa's living room. "Jane, we're going to the wholesale market tomorrow."
Aside from the scabs on her arms waiting to heal, Xue Qiandai was basically fully recovered. "Excellent, I didn't let beauty ruin my career. Let's get my career going; what man is more appealing than a career?"
Jian Yan brought out the food; although it was home-style, it was delicious and visually appealing. Moreover, because Huo Yunchao and others had been prepared, the portions were quite generous.
Xue Qiandai sniffed over, grabbed a piece of stir-fried pork with her finger, and ate it with gusto. "I think I smell something tangy. Senior Yuan didn't ask you out again, so you should focus on your career?"
Life is tough, don't expose it.
This time it was Jian Yan's turn to complain.
She held her bowl, pretending to be nonchalant, and picked up a piece of stir-fried shredded potatoes with vinegar. "We're all adults, of course work comes first. But life goes on, doesn't it?"
Xue Qiandai bit her chopsticks, her eyes darting around. Suddenly, she pointed with her chopsticks, "This, this, and this, you pack one up and deliver it to him on Monday at lunchtime. Make a detour to the headquarters of *Fashion Vanguard* magazine and give him a love-filled bento box. For the first time, let's set a one-month limit. If he still hasn't warmed up this stone after a month, and he still hasn't confessed, then it means he's not interested in you. You can move on to someone else!"
Jian Yan buried her head in her food, pondering in her mind, "Dai Dai, how long did you plan to pursue your beauty Huo back then?"
"I didn't set a timeframe because I'm determined to have him. I'll chase him my whole life..." She stopped abruptly. Could Jian Yan be the same as her, fixated on Senior Yuan and planning to chase him her whole life?
Chien Yen-mei responded by saying, "If you're going to send a love-filled bento box, you should try to keep it as fresh as possible. You made the food on Saturday and are sending it on Monday. Are you planning to make Yuan Xue-chang sick? Eat it quickly, I'll make it again tomorrow."
