Chapter 455 Can't Wait to Go to the Capital to See Qiao Xi
Zhou Yu's eyes were playful and ambiguous.
Qiao Xi thought that Zhou Yu might have heard what she had just said, and her face turned red. Her fair cheeks were flushed, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Mr. Zhou, why are you here too?"
Zhou Yu gritted his teeth, facing Huo Xingzhou's gloomy gaze, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, it's not just me! Everyone is in a meeting. Do you want to say hello to us? More than 20 colleagues from the Finance Department, and Jin Kai."
Qiao Xi almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
Huo Xingzhou couldn't have turned on the speaker.
"Hello, Madam Boss!"
"Young Madam, are you all right in the Imperial Capital?"
"We missed you too, Madam."
Hearing Zhou Yu's provocation, the others couldn't help but join in the fun. After all, Mr. Huo's expression didn't look so scary anymore. The law doesn't punish everyone. Mr. Huo probably wouldn't tell them all to get out and go home to eat their own food.
The sky cleared up after the rain.
Qiao Xi felt even more embarrassed when she heard the chaotic greetings from the other end of the phone.
But after all, she has been with Huo Xingzhou for so long that she is not as petty as before.
He then said, "Mr. Zhou, please say hello to everyone for me. Thank you for your concern. I will return to Haicheng after the needle trial meeting is over."
Zhou Yu, enjoying the fun, shouted, "The boss lady asked me to say hello to everyone on her behalf!"
"Boss lady, good luck to the needle testing conference!"
"You will always be the pride of our Haicheng. I hope you can get first place!"
"I wish you and Mr. Huo a baby soon."
Qiao Xi listened to their messy blessings and felt very embarrassed. She looked at Huo Xingzhou and whispered, "I'm going to hang up first. Xiao Yuan called me for dinner."
She hung up the phone with a red face.
The screen turns black.
Huo Xingzhou put his phone aside and the smile on his face faded.
He looked at Zhou Yu for a while, and Zhou Yu consciously shut his mouth.
The others also sat up straight and waited for the next instruction.
Huo Xingzhou lowered his brows, his eyes calm. "Tonight, I'll have to trouble you all to settle the accounts of all the subsidiaries under Tianyuan Group and allocate working capital. I hope to see the funds in place tomorrow. Thank you all for your hard work."
The twenty or so middle and senior managers in the Finance Department laughed bitterly: "Okay, Mr. Huo."
"After this is over, everyone will be given a week off. You can travel abroad or recuperate in China, your choice. Your year-end bonus will be doubled, and you can bring your family members with you on the trip, with no limit on the number of people."
As soon as Huo Xingzhou finished speaking.
The atmosphere is completely different!
The dozens of people were full of fighting spirit: "Yes, Mr. Huo! We will complete your request as soon as possible and will definitely get it done tomorrow morning."
Huo Xingzhou stood up calmly and nodded.
He walked out with his cell phone, and Zhou Yu followed him.
"Zhou Yu, order them delivery from the Jinling Hotel tonight."
"Okay, I know."
Zhou Yu opened the door to the conference room, and the two walked out to the corridor. He looked at Huo Xingzhou and said nonchalantly, "You must be feeling happy when Qiao Xi calls you husband. You're deliberately answering the phone in the middle of a meeting, deliberately showing off your affection."
"Huo Xingzhou, you're such a sultry person! You're having a relationship after marriage, and you want to make it known to everyone."
This sullen and scheming man wanted to show his affection secretly, but Zhou Yu had seen through his thoughts.
Huo Xingzhou turned around and said provocatively, "If you want to show off, that's fine."
"You...you really know how to poke my heart. You know Shu Xue is busy with training for going abroad recently, but you still have to hurt me!" He and Shu Xue didn't even have time to date, because she would be going abroad soon.
After being apart for several months, Zhou Yu didn't know how to relieve the pain of missing his lover.
Huo Xingzhou curled the corners of his lips, seeming to be gloating.
This can be considered as a punishment for Zhou Yu's early love for flowers.
Huo Xingzhou walked to the president's office, pushed the door open and walked in.
He pulled out a printed document from the safe and threw it in front of Zhou Yu: "Take this and do something for me."
"What's up?"
"A good thing for the country and the people."
There was a coldness in Huo Xingzhou's smile.
Zhou Yu glanced down at the contents of the document and was stunned. He flipped through the information and said in a hoarse voice, "Where did you get such confidential information? Is it from Fuchun Garden that day..."
"Don't talk nonsense, just do it. Find a suitable opportunity and collect some interest."
"Okay, I'll definitely do it."
Zhou Yu hesitated and asked, "Why did you suddenly call the Finance Department to a meeting to work overtime? Are you in such a hurry? There are still a few days before the needle trial meeting. It's obviously still in time to rush to the imperial capital."
The year-end bonus is doubled, and there is no restriction on the number of family members allowed for travel and recuperation.
This wave will cost some blood.
Huo Xingzhou poured a glass of warm water, and with his bony fingers, he held the clean glass and looked at him: "I'm anxious."
"What are you in such a hurry for?"
Huo Xingzhou took a sip of warm water, his thin lips becoming even more rosy as they were wet: "I can't wait to see Qiao Xi."
"Depend on!"
Zhou Yu cursed angrily and slammed the door shut with the documents in his hand.
He must have seen a ghost, so he chased Huo Xingzhou and asked.
I ate a mouthful of dog food!
…
the next day.
Imperial capital.
The Guan family, one of the four great families, held a grand celebration for its 70th birthday. The Guan family's ancestral home is a vast palace that has undergone modern renovations, but its exterior and style retain the ancient architecture.
The Guan family is located in the prosperous area of the imperial capital.
A large area outside the main building belongs to the Guan family. A parking lot and some landscapes have been built there, which looks very grand.
This banquet was held in the banquet hall of the Guan family's ancestral home.
Walking past the red-lacquered wooden corridor and waterside pavilion, you'll find a large artificial lake with a floating pavilion. The landscaping is exceptionally well-planned, and the palace, covering a hundred acres, is impressive, though a hint of gray and decay can be seen in the sunset.
Six o'clock in the evening!
The main gate is open to welcome distinguished guests!
Entering from the main gate, passing the corridor and the artificial lake, you will reach the largest banquet hall in the main building.
The hall can accommodate thousands of people. The antique shelves around it are filled with valuable antiques. There is a wooden staircase made of golden nanmu leading to the second floor, with a half-meter high platform in the middle.
At this moment, the aroma is everywhere, and the wine and dishes are ready.
Guests gradually arrived, and the parking lot outside the palace was filled with luxury cars. Every prominent family in the imperial capital had already arrived, bringing their sons, grandsons, and nephews to the banquet.
Surprisingly, there were the most young talents at Mr. Guan’s birthday party.
The old man of the Guan family had only one son, who died in an accident ten years ago, leaving behind a pair of grandchildren.
The grandson is a fool and the granddaughter is a young girl.
No matter who is chosen as the heir, it is a bad idea for the Guan family. A fool cannot shoulder the responsibility, and a girl can easily be eaten up and wiped out, but the Guan family has no other choice!
Rumor has it that the Guan family intends to train Miss Guan to be their heir.
Then as long as you can marry Miss Guan, you will get the entire Guan family!
Therefore, birthday banquets are also a good opportunity for talented people in the imperial capital to show off their talents.
Lu Yan and Xiang Ze were also dressed to impress, and even looked quite handsome in their suits. However, Lu Yan's appearance was more striking, and his domineering aura was not concealed at all.
Xiang Ze is the young master of the Xiang family, and he is really not as good-looking as Lu Yan.
But among the marriages between aristocratic families, Xiang Ze's status is higher.
Lu Yan held up a bottle of champagne and patted Xiang Ze on the shoulder. "Tonight is your home game. It's up to you whether you can handle that girl from the Guan family. Anyway, I've prepared everything for you. As for me, I have to meet that girl from Haicheng."
The woman from Haicheng was naturally referring to Qiao Xi.
Lu Yan raised an inexplicable smile on his face, poked Xiang Ze and said, "Look there."
