Quan Quan seemed to have a telepathic connection with Qiao Guangyu. When Qiao Guangyu was about to surrender, he came to his rescue like a god.
"Mr. Huo, there's a call for you." Quan Quan seemed not to notice Qiao Guangyu's embarrassment and anxiety. He still had that expressionless face and said in a businesslike manner, "The other party couldn't contact you, so they came to me."
Huo Zhou glanced at Qiao Guangyu and took the phone expressionlessly. As soon as he said "Hello", his face changed and he walked out without thinking.
Qiao Guangyu almost wanted to follow, but was stopped by Quan Quan with a gesture.
He glanced at Huo Zhou's figure that was about to disappear at the end of the path, then turned back and said to Qiao Guangyu, "Don't go over there, it's Wu Yu calling you."
"White Moonlight?" Qiao Guangyu mouthed the words and couldn't help asking him, "Didn't you give him Mr. Huo's business card?" Qiao Guangyu still remembered the details before leaving the French restaurant that day. At that time, he admired Quan Quan for being so calm.
Quan Quan raised his eyebrows: "What I gave him that day was actually my business card."
Qiao Guangyu looked at him suspiciously and asked in a low voice, "Have you two contacted each other privately a long time ago?"
"It's not that early. We just talked on the phone for a few minutes these two days." Quan Quan slightly curved his lips. The arc was very small. If Qiao Guangyu hadn't looked carefully, it would have been difficult to notice. "For now, Wu Yu probably still wants to reconcile with his boss."
"Really?" Qiao Guangyu's eyes lit up. "That's great. Victory is in sight!"
"Don't be too happy too soon." Quan Quan poured a basin of cold water on him and motioned him to look at the tombstone behind him. "Mr. Huo did not go to Changfeng Island this week..." Instead, he accompanied you to visit the tomb.
Qiao Guangyu: “…QAQ.”
Quan Quan patted his head, and after hitting him, he gave him a sweet date: "But you don't need to be too pessimistic. Since Wu Yu has taken the initiative to fight for it, let him have more contact with the boss in the future to regain the feeling of being in love. If you keep a low profile in everything and slowly fade out of Huo Zhou's life, there should be no problem."
Qiao Guangyu let out a long sigh: "That's good."
He was really scared by Huo Zhou. If he had not adhered to the professional ethics of a stand-in and been a dedicated and trustworthy "employee", Qiao Guangyu really wanted to pack up and abscond with the money and never get involved in the emotional entanglements of other couples again.
Quan Quan walked forward a few steps and glanced at Huo Zhou at the foot of the mountain. He analyzed from his movements that the call was about to end, so he turned back and said to Qiao Guangyu: "Get ready to go down. The boss is almost done with the call. Don't keep him waiting."
"Oh, okay." Qiao Guangyu quickly followed him.
Still a little confused, Qiao Guangyu took the opportunity to whisper behind Quan Quan: "That's not right. The last time I heard the conversation between the boss and Bai Yueguang, Bai Yueguang said that his number didn't change. It was Mr. Huo's phone number that changed? Otherwise, why would he contact you instead of going directly to Mr. Huo?"
Quan Quan hummed, walked ahead without looking back, and said, "It's just what you think."
"My brain memory seems to be insufficient... What did you just say?" Qiao Guangyu murmured, and repeated it to himself, "One person found a substitute to miss his lover after he left, but changed his phone number; the other person broke up immediately and moved far away, but has not changed his phone number to this day... Hey, these two people..."
Qiao Guangyu could no longer find any adjectives to use.
In his opinion, this was purely a waste of time.
"My mom said it best," Qiao Guangyu whispered, "If they're busy with daily necessities, they won't have the energy to worry about love. If they can't even fill their stomachs, how can they have the mood to talk about love and think about whether my true love is A or B? They're just asking for trouble."
Quan Quan staggered and almost fell.
"You..." Quan Quan couldn't help but turn around and glare at him, "Remember not to say that in front of Mr. Huo."
"I know. I'm just complaining to you." Qiao Guangyu shrugged. He was not stupid. He had no control over who Huo Zhou liked, and he didn't want to interfere. Even if Huo Zhou really liked him, it wasn't to the point where the sky would fall. He would just have to explain it to him clearly when the time came. Could Huo Zhou possibly imprison him?
The two of them went down the mountain, and Huo Zhou ended his call with Wu Yu. The surprise and nervousness on his face when he first received the call were gone, and he returned to his usual image of an elite president. When he saw Qiao Guangyu following behind Quan Quan, he didn't show any special expression.
Qiao Guangyu breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Huo Zhou would bring up the past and ask him where the five million had gone. When the time came, he would have to mention one person - Quan Quan.
He didn't want Huo Zhou to find out that he and Quan Quan had this connection. He couldn't tell whether it was for himself or for Quan Quan.
In short, it would be best if Huo Zhou couldn't remember it, and he should try to avoid talking about topics like money and investment in the future.
After getting in the car, Huo Zhou didn't say a few words to Qiao Guangyu. He closed his eyes and rested, giving off an aura of "don't come near me". Seeing that he closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep, Qiao Guangyu carefully turned his phone to silent mode and went online to play his card drawing game.
This kind of game, which does not require operation, strategy, or spending money and only relies on luck, is most suitable for him.
Huo Zhou spoke right after finishing a daily task, and Qiao Guangyu was so scared that he almost dropped his phone on the ground.
"Find someone to take over your driving, and we'll go directly to Changfeng Island." Huo Zhou said to Quan Quan.
"Okay, Mr. Huo." Quan Quan responded, then called someone and asked Assistant Qian to wait on the road they had to take and bring the documents he had prepared when he planned to work on Changfeng Island.
Quan Quan's efficiency is unquestionable, and Qian Tong is also a very capable assistant. When he came, he not only brought a box of documents, but also two other assistants. As a result, they split into two cars. Perhaps because of Wu Yu's previous phone call, Qiao Guangyu was not in the car that Huo Zhou was in on the way to Changfeng Island.
Of course, Quan Quan did not ride in the same car with Qiao Guangyu. Huo Zhou probably had some business to discuss with him, so after Qiao Guangyu got off the car, Quan Quan left the driver's seat and took Qiao Guangyu's place. When Qiao Guangyu changed cars, he deliberately glanced at him, but Quan Quan was concentrating on flipping through the documents and discussing something with Huo Zhou from time to time.
Qiao Guangyu was a little disappointed, but this way it was just him and the driver's assistant in the second car, and he didn't have to be so nervous while playing games, which was perfect.
After working all afternoon, Qiao Guangyu finally finished all his daily tasks and played two events. When he was stretching with sleepy eyes, the car finally arrived at the destination.
Changfeng Island is actually not entirely an island. Its full name should be "Changfeng Island Development Zone", which includes a string of islands of varying sizes and several small fishing villages around it.
The city is developing faster and faster, and the housing pressure in the city is getting greater and greater. The government originally intended to move the city government to Changfeng District. Smart businessmen, like fish that smell blood, swarmed into Changfeng District and fought tooth and nail to finally divide up several of the most cost-effective plots of land around the new city government.
Smart people, however, turn their attention to second-rate territories and focus on developing resorts and high-end residential areas - the competition is not that fierce, the investment does not require that much, and although the returns are not as good as those in commercial areas, they are still considerable.
Huo Zhou was certainly a smart man. From the beginning, he had no intention of spending a large sum of money to grab those commercial areas. Instead, he slowly acquired the surrounding small fishing villages while others were competing fiercely. Now he has a large piece of territory in his hands.
The Wu family came in just at the same time as him. The original person in charge of the Changfeng Island project was the eldest son of the Wu family, Wu Jun. Recently, it was replaced by Wu Yu, who had just joined the company. I don’t know whether it was to accumulate experience for Wu Yu or because Huo Zhou was here.
Qiao Guangyu was not interested in these. When Quan Quan told him about Huo Zhou's recent project, he was drowsy. He only became a little more alert when Wu Yu was mentioned at the end: "Hmm... So, is Bai Yueguang actively pursuing Mr. Huo now?"
Quan Quan thought of Huo Zhou who couldn't wait to keep his appointment as soon as he arrived at Changfeng Island, and nodded: "I guess so."
Qiao Guangyu yawned, "They're having a candlelight dinner, shall we go have a big meal too?" Thinking that this was the beach, Qiao Guangyu's eyes lit up with anticipation, "Let's have seafood?"
"Okay." Quan Quan was very straightforward this time, "I'll treat you to a seafood dinner."
"Wow, you said that!" Qiao Guangyu jumped up immediately, his mind cleared up and his body no longer tired. "I want to eat lobsters and crabs! And squid, scallops, oysters, mussels..."
Gulp, my saliva is about to flow down.
Quan Quan was disgusted by the appearance of a man who had been hungry for hundreds of years: "It's not like I'm not giving you food, is it that serious?"
"That's right." Qiao Guangyu nodded vigorously. "When I was little, I had no money and could only eat seafood during festivals. Now that I have money, I'm not allowed to eat it. This is too much. I must eat my fill this time!"
Quan Quan was a little helpless: "Okay, okay, you can eat whatever you want. It doesn't matter if you make me broke."
Qiao Guangyu felt a little embarrassed after he finished speaking: "This is not good... I'd better keep the money for you. In case I can't get the balance, I still have to rely on you for food."
He thought about it and told Quan Quan about Huo Zhou asking him about the five million.
——The money for the three-year contract signed by Qiao Guangyu and Huo Zhou was not paid in full at once. Instead, he had to pay one million in the first year, two million in the second year, and the remaining two million would be available only after the third year ended without incident.
To put it bluntly, the reason why he and Quan Quan care so much about the last few months is because of money.
But there is no other way. If I don’t talk about money, how can I talk about feelings with Huo Zhou?
