The uncle and nephew, who were separated by life and death along the way, cried like dogs in the car, expressing their "not very filial" longing for each other.
The driver was so scared that his face turned pale. He dropped the passenger off and drove away.
Assistant Zhang felt a little sorry for the driver and decided to find a way to give him a bonus this month.
He looked at Xia Yiqian and said sincerely, "If there is anything you need from me, just let me know.
As long as I can do it, I will try my best."
If it were any other time, Xia Yiqian would have asked Assistant Zhang to go home and make her a longevity tablet in order to cultivate to maturity as soon as possible, and burn three incense sticks for her every day.
The more power of faith you have, the better. Even a mosquito leg is still meat.
But now things have changed.
After watching that melodramatic TV series about a domineering CEO, she felt that building a temple in modern society might be a dead end. One day, it might catch the eye of the "powerful and wealthy" and be demolished.
Xia Yiqian felt a little ashamed for going back on her word as a princess of a country, and said hesitantly, "There is indeed something I need your help with."
Assistant Zhang immediately said, "Just tell me, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you!"
Xia Yiqian looked at him firmly, "Can you talk to that man and change the condition of building the temple to giving away half of the temple and help me become the most powerful star?"
Assistant Zhang: ???
What is going on?
Their President Huo is really just a successful businessman, not a wishing tree!
Xia Yiqian looked at his changing expression and asked skeptically with a serious face, "No?"
I secretly thought in my heart, this shouldn’t be the case!
The chief steward beside my father is useful to my father in flattering others. Wouldn't this person, who is very similar to the chief steward in temperament and work, also spread rumors to Shangguan?
Xia Yiqian didn't believe it in her heart and firmly believed that the only reason was that he didn't want to help.
Or maybe... he is just not a good person.
Assistant Zhang saw her disgusted expression that almost said "You are useless" and said immediately, "I will definitely try my best to help you achieve your wish, but it also depends on Mr. Huo's wishes.
You know, he's the one who makes the final decision."
Having said that, he felt that there was a high possibility that Mr. Huo would agree.
After all, compared to the outrageous task of "building temples all over the world", it is extremely easy for a top Beijing family like the Huo family to make a small star famous.
The two men completed the private agreement between the farmers behind the "landlord's" back.
Assistant Zhang was worried that Xia Yiqian might run into trouble again if she stayed outside, so he suggested, "Ms. Xia, let's go in and wait for Mr. Huo. They should be soon..."
Just at this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from nearby.
"If you have anything to say, just tell me nicely! Don't let it get to you!!!"
Assistant Zhang originally wanted to trick Xia Yiqian into the Starlight Building, but suddenly heard the scream and subconsciously stopped talking.
The two looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a fat middle-aged man sitting astride a concrete pillar on the edge of the top floor of the building, looking desperate and wanting to jump off the building.
After Assistant Zhang saw the man clearly, his face immediately darkened, as if he had seen something disgusting.
His voice was faintly filled with anger, "He's pretending again, wanting to jump off the building several times over and over again, but he never really jumped once just because of the pressure from public opinion.
It's disgusting that a grown man would commit suicide just to threaten others."
Xia Yiqian looked in the direction of the man, blinked, and said in a faint voice: "He really knows how to jump this time."
She said this as if she was muttering casually, and her voice was not very loud.
The surroundings were very chaotic and Assistant Zhang couldn't hear clearly.
He subconsciously said "Huh?"
Without waiting for Xia Yiqian to repeat, Huo Linxiao and his team were surrounded and walked out of the Starlight Building.
Assistant Zhang didn't ask any more questions and quickly walked over to him, "Mr. Huo, how's the bidding going?"
Huo Linxiao didn't stop walking. He adjusted his watch strap and said calmly, "The bid was successful. We'll talk about it when we get back."
His eyes subconsciously swept over Xia Yiqian who was standing outside watching him obediently. Seeing that she didn't run away again, he calmly withdrew his gaze.
He didn't want to have to call the police to pick someone up in the middle of another meeting.
Huo Linxiao wanted to leave quietly, but it was obvious that others would not give him this opportunity.
As soon as he walked out of the building, a group of people came up to him, holding cameras in their hands and pushing forward frantically, as if they wanted to put the cameras directly into people's faces.
Reporters rushed to ask questions, "Mr. Huo, what do you think about your biggest rival in this bidding, Mr. Huang Dali, who lost the bid and was so frustrated that he wanted to jump off the building?
Do you think this is an aggressive question on your part?"
"Mr. Huo, will you give up the land you bid for because of Mr. Huang Dali's threat of suicide and public pressure?"
"Mr. Huo, out of compassion, will you lend a helping hand to Mr. Wang Dali and save his company?
Your two families are old friends."
"Mr. Huo, I heard that you and Mr. Huang Dali's daughter were once engaged. What do you think about forcing the person who almost became your father-in-law to jump off a building?"
…
The reporters who swarmed in were like a swarm of hornets whose nest was destroyed, stinging Huo Linxiao frantically, everyone wanting to get the first-hand information.
Even though Huo Linxiao was surrounded by bodyguards and staff, it was still difficult for him to walk to the car.
He glanced at Xia Yiqian, who was watching the excitement with a look of surprise on her face, but she didn't know that because of her exquisite appearance and ancient costume, she had always been treated as a spectacle. He signaled Assistant Zhang with his eyes to take her to the car first.
He himself had a cold face throughout and did not make any response from beginning to end.
He didn't stop until he reached the car door, and responded in a cold voice with a blank expression, "People should be responsible for their own actions, and the highest bidder always wins.
I have never discussed marriage with anyone.”
After saying this, he bent down and got into the car without any hesitation.
"Bang!"
