Chapter 130: Bringing Bad Luck
Yunmo opened the lid, and shredded ginger and green onion floated on the white soup. She added a few slices of coriander, and a rich aroma filled the air.
The chicken was already stewed till tender, and with the addition of carefully prepared Chinese medicine, it became even more tempting.
"You did this?"
Liu Yue rushed into the kitchen in a few steps, his eyes glowing green, and he handed over a bowl in a familiar manner.
Yun Mo stirred the chicken soup with a spoon. Considering that there were so many people, she stewed three casseroles of it. White slices of meat floated in the soup, and she could hear the sound of Liu Yue swallowing his saliva.
Yun Mo fanned the air with her hand and smelled it, then began to turn off the fire calmly.
There was a long line outside the kitchen, and Liu Yueban had already started eating. He picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks. It was fresh, smooth, fragrant and soft, with an indescribable medicinal fragrance. The taste was so good that it made people want to cry.
I don't know how Yunmo handled it, but there's absolutely no trace of meat smell in the soup, only fragrance, yes, only fragrance...
But unfortunately, although there were three large pots, each person only got a small bowl, and most of the meat was left for Huo Chuan.
After Liu Yueban finished drinking the soup, he watched Huo Chuan gnawing on the bones with eager eyes.
"Hey, good brother, you can't finish all this, can you give me some?"
Huo Chuan turned around and pushed the plate in front of him a little further away from him.
"Xiao Chuanzi, do you still remember when we were punished to stand together at the base and go online on the Star Network together?" Other boys also started to pursue him.
It would have been fine if this hadn't been mentioned. As soon as Huo Chuan mentioned it, his face darkened. "Fuck, do you have any conscience? I got deducted 100 points because of the signal transmitter incident, and you didn't even come out to share the burden!"
Perhaps to alleviate their hunger, the maid quickly brought up the meal.
But with that chicken soup as the base, even the most delicious food now seems to be missing something.
The meat was smooth but not greasy, and the saltiness was slightly fresh, making it particularly appetizing. After Zhu Yu finished eating, he raised his head seriously and sincerely recommended himself to Yun Mo.
"Classmate Yunmo, if you need a boyfriend, please consider me. I'm 1.8 meters tall, come from a clean family, and have a good character..."
The other boys almost scratched the sofa while listening to this, they were beaten to it!
This guy has thrown away his dignity and sold out his entire life just for food!
There were a few more people who wanted to do the same, but before they could say anything, they were suppressed by Yun Mo's half-smile, and they coughed repeatedly in their chests.
"I heard the sound from far away, you are coming."
Huo Zhehan walked in with his wife from outside, with a gentle expression on his face, and greeted everyone with a smile.
The students all stood up and said, "Hello, uncle, hello, auntie."
"Hey, come and sit down. Don't be polite. You guys continue eating. Is the food at home okay?" Huo Zhehan said with a smile.
"Just say hello and go," Huo Chuan said rudely as he saw his father here and several classmates became restrained.
"You little bastard," Huo Zhehan patted him on the head and turned around.
"You guys have fun, we won't disturb you. Let's all stay here tonight. There are enough rooms at home, and it's good for young people to relax together."
"Let's go, let's go," Huo Chuan urged impatiently.
Yun Mo looked at Huo Zhehan's receding back and fell into deep thought.
…
In the study, Mrs. Huo elegantly handed over a cup of hot tea, "Xiaochuan and his classmates are very good."
Huo Zhehan's serious expression suddenly relaxed. "She looks pretty good, especially Yunmo. The more I see her, the more I like her. I have to find someone who can control her in the future."
Mrs. Huo also smiled, "That's right. He has a bad temper. He always got into trouble and made friends with all kinds of people. It seems that the decision to send him to military school was the right one."
Huo Zehan shook his head and smiled, then opened a document and scribbled on it with a pen, looking very cautious.
"Are you still looking at the project in District 13?" Mrs. Huo put her hands on her knees, her face a little solemn.
"Yes, the Mi family has been fighting with us for the past two years. You have also met Gao Tianlang. He is a very powerful person."
Huo Zhehan stared at the project in front of him and expressed his thoughts.
"But I still don't feel very secure."
The project they were discussing was that the Huo family would invest billions of dollars to participate in a major project of Gao Tianlang.
According to the information available outside, Gao Tianlang entered the business world after retiring from the military.
He started out in the energy sector and conducted business on more than 20 resource stars, all of which were major projects related to federal diplomacy.
It is said that he often wears military uniform with unclear medals hanging on it, and even his bodyguards look like veterans, which has invisibly increased people's speculation about his identity.
This person was overbearing in his words and deeds. When they met in the afternoon, they were almost intimidated by him. The other party did not give them any room for bargaining.
But it is precisely this that makes people more convinced of his energy and full of awe for this man.
"I didn't want to consider it at first, but after observing it several times, I found that the project seemed quite good because it involved high-tech, which is our weak point.
"Plus, the person who facilitated this is a key figure in District 13's government, so I can't easily refuse due to my connections." Huo Zhehan said thoughtfully.
"I heard a story about Gao Tianlang from a sister, let me tell you about it."
Mrs. Huo placed her right hand on her left and spoke gently.
"You say." Huo Zehan raised his head seriously. As a businessman, he never gave up any possible way to get information. Sometimes the less eye-catching people are, the more likely they are to have key information.
"Do you remember the land at Haidupo?" asked Mrs. Huo.
"Remember, our group's new office building is not far from that piece of land. I heard that it has changed hands several times," Huo Zehan said with a blink of his eyes.
"Now that piece of land has been taken over by Gao Tianlang," said Mrs. Huo.
"Huh?" Huo Zhehan smiled meaningfully, "That old fox."
"Do you know how it was taken?" Mrs. Huo asked.
"I heard some news, and through guesswork, I can roughly understand it."
Mrs. Huo smiled faintly. "I heard that the last owner of that piece of land was also related to him. That person owed RS Interstellar Bank 200 million star coins. Later, the land was auctioned and bought by a mysterious buyer for 100 million star coins."
Huo Zhehan snorted coldly, "It's obvious that the land has been injected into HKWX Company, and the price is about 100 million star coins."
"This old fox, with his left hand transferring money to his right, made 200 million yuan of debt disappear out of thin air, and even added assets to the listed company to drive up the stock price... Ha!"
"So, Lao Huo, given this man's skills and character, I suggest you be cautious about cooperating with him."
"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore," Huo Zhehan looked at the plan for a while and started talking about other things.
"It's strange, I don't know if it's because I'm just being paranoid, but things haven't been going smoothly since we moved to the new office. I've lost several orders."
"I heard from the boss that the company's employees also look like they can't wake up every day and they look very tired."
"Really? Could it be a coincidence?" Mrs. Huo was a little worried.
Huo Zhehan tapped his shoulders and felt very tired. He had been feeling listless recently and it seemed like he was about to develop bags under his eyes.
