Chapter 716 Huo Laowu
Early the next morning.
Everyone in the Huo family came to the company to wait for the old man, and Butler Li was also there.
Huo Tianyao glanced at Butler Li, pulled him aside, and warned, "I'm telling you, don't think that the old man will come back to speak for you. You're leaving after get off work today. This matter is settled, and no one else can say anything about it."
Huo Laosan narrowed his eyes, thinking that this housekeeper Li was very cunning, and said, "Yes, it is decent to leave at this time."
After hearing this, Butler Li subconsciously glanced at Huo Laowu.
The latter did not respond, nor did he show any intention of speaking up for him.
Butler Li was not in a hurry. He smiled and said to Huo Tianyao, "Second Master, I was not careful about what happened yesterday. When I came here this morning, I apologized to the eldest lady and she forgives me. I promise that in the days to come, I will abide by my duties and will not act presumptuously again."
"The old man is old and can't live without people. Second Master, you will have to wait and see how I perform in the future."
Butler Li spoke respectfully. Huo Tianyao glanced at Bian Zhi, and seeing that Bian Zhi didn't say a word, Huo Tianyao lowered his eyes. Seeing that the plane was about to land, he suppressed his anger.
Everyone was waiting on the Huo's rooftop for the plane to land.
Butler Li glanced at Huo Laowu out of the corner of his eye. A hint of displeasure and suspicion flashed in the latter's eyes. When he turned to look at him, his eyes met his with a warning.
Bian Zhi seemed to sense something and slowly turned his head. At that time, Huo Laowu had already put away all his emotions, put his hands in front of him, and returned to his usual leisurely look.
The old man was in poor health, so as soon as the plane landed, he was taken to the lounge to rest.
Before going to the lounge, he confirmed Yan Bianzhi's physical condition and saw that her face was rosy, so he entered the lounge.
Everyone returned to Bian Zhi's office.
Butler Li arrived a little later. When he faced Bian Zhi, he didn't show any of the arrogance he had shown a few days ago. Instead, he lowered his head and looked submissive, acting like a servant from ancient times. He said to Bian Zhi, "Miss, the old man has fallen asleep. When he wakes up, I'll tell you. Do you think there's anything else you need to take care of? If not, I'll go wait at the old man's door and see if he has any instructions."
These words fell.
Huo Tianyao was stunned. He was not a fool. Even the dog at the door could feel such an obvious change in attitude, let alone him!
"Lao Li, have you changed your sex?"
"It's only been one night, and you're already so aware?"
Butler Li smiled slightly and said, "The bird is choosing a good tree to perch on. I was wrong in the past, and now it's time to change my temper."
"The eldest lady is a kind person and won't bother with me."
"If you're alright, I'll leave first."
Bian Zhi nodded, and Butler Li walked out of the office.
Bian Zhi glanced at Huo Laowu who was standing in the corner with his eyes narrowed, and smiled.
Huo Tianyao looked at Bian Zhi with a puzzled look on her face. "What's going on, girl? Why is Butler Li treating you like this today? What did you do?"
Bian Zhi blinked and said, "Didn't people say I'm a good tree?"
Huo Tianyao simply didn't believe that a person could change so much in one night, so he said to Bian Zhi very cautiously, "Girl, this Butler Li is an old fox, don't let him fool you."
When Huo Tianyao said this, Bian Zhi's expression did not change, but Huo Laowu's face froze.
Bian Zhi smiled and said meaningfully, "Well, he is indeed an old fox. But who was deceived?"
After Bian Zhi finished saying this, Zhou Suihuai came in with some fruit, his face still expressionless.
Huo Tianyao glanced at Zhou Suihuai and asked Bian Zhi, "Has this pretty boy not been coaxed yet?"
Bian Zhi smiled lightly and said, "Well, he's not a pretty boy anymore, he's become a big boss. Look how arrogant he is, but hard to coax. You guys shouldn't mess with him in the future."
Huo Laosan was speechless after hearing what Bian Zhi said. "Girl, I told you that you don't have this much patience and good temper with us, but how come you are so poor-tempered towards this pretty boy? Oh, and you even want us elders to give in to him? How does that make sense?"
Huo Laosi agreed, "Yeah, can you be a little principled?"
Huo Laowu found it difficult to laugh at this moment.
Bian Zhi tilted his head, twitching his chin, and looked at Huo Laowu, chuckling softly, "Don't we usually talk about this? Why don't you follow the trend today?"
Huo Laowu said "Ah?" and then smiled lightly, in a very elder way. "You are such a sharp-tongued girl. We can't argue with you."
Bian Zhi also smiled, leaning lazily against the back of the chair, "That's true. I hold grudges. If anyone treats me badly, I will definitely pay them back tenfold."
When Bian Zhi said this, she didn't look at Huo Laowu, but Huo Laowu always felt that she was talking to him and she must have discovered something.
But looking more closely, Bian Zhi returned to his previous indifferent look, as if he didn't care about anything.
When Huo Laowu's mind was full of uncertainty and no one's eyes were on him, he glanced at the person next to him without leaving any trace.
Then he lowered his head again.
This scene was blocked from view by Huo Lao San who was standing upright in front of her. Bian Zhi did not see it. She just smiled and said, "There is no one else here. There are some things that I think it is okay to say openly."
"The Huo family is huge, and the old man was worried about me taking over. I'm sure some people won't accept my sudden arrival, which I understand. Of course, I also appreciate someone standing up and challenging me. I, Bian Zhi, will only respect those with real ability. If you're truly capable and want to remove me from this position, I'll leave immediately without a second thought, without any hesitation."
"However, if anyone tries to do something insidious to me behind my back, harming the interests of the Huo family and the child in my belly, please don't reveal your true identity. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
"There's something I won't tell you, but you all know it. I didn't grow up in the Huo family. I haven't used a penny of their money, nor have I eaten a grain of their rice. When I came to North America, I lived in a villa I bought myself. I'm sitting here today not for Huo Wuzun, nor for the Huo family. I just hope my mother can have a peaceful life in the future.
Her first half of life was not easy, and I hope she can live the rest of her life freely and fulfill her wish to be with the one she loves. That's why I came to the Huo family. You can understand these words as meaning that I have no foundation or feelings for the Huo family or the people within it. So, don't try to be sneaky or use any tricks behind the scenes. Otherwise, if I find out in the future, I won't care whether you are a member of the Huo family or not."
"At that time, I gave it the shares readily and said everything was fine. But now I want to change my mind..." Bian Zhi laughed softly and put the money Gu Yan gave her in the drawer on the table. "Ask it if it agrees."
Bian Zhi said this to Huo Laowu.
