"Why stay in Hong Kong?" Huo Beixiao asked in an icy voice.
Jiang Yiran quickly recited the lines she had already rehearsed many times in her mind, "Because the business environment here in Gangcheng is more relaxed, and the resources for education and medical care are also better, it will be better for the children's growth if we bring them here in the future."
Although Jiang Yiran didn't understand education, she had lived two lives and knew that in her previous life, some wealthy people chose to give birth in Hong Kong so that their children could have Hong Kong residency and receive education there.
"I haven't thought about it," Huo Beixiao said directly. "You can go out now. I'll think about it when I'm done with my work."
Upon hearing Huo Beixiao's words, Jiang Yiran not only felt relieved but also felt a surge of joy.
After she left the room, Huo Beixiao stared at the closed door, his brows furrowed in deep thought for a long while.

Yang Qiaoqiao suffered a moderate concussion. Even now, her head still feels dizzy whenever it is shaken, and when the dizziness is severe, she may even vomit.
Given her current condition, she certainly can't be left unattended.
She originally planned to hire a caregiver or a temporary Filipino maid.
Fortunately, Rong Jinxin overheard Huo Beixiao mentioning divorce to her and knew that she was currently unable to take care of herself, so he sent a servant from the Rong family to take care of her.
Yang Qiaoqiao lay in the hospital bed, trying her best not to think about anything related to Huo Beixiao.
But her mind was out of her control; all that flashed through her mind were the memories of her and Huo Beixiao over the past two years.
When she realized it, she couldn't help but give a wry smile.
At this moment, Qiao Haifan came in excitedly with a stack of drawing papers. "Qiao Qiao, take a look. These are all design works by students who are interested in applying for jobs at your company."
"Take a look and see if there are any candidates who meet your hiring criteria. If there are, pick them out, and I'll talk to them."
Yang Qiaoqiao looked at the pile of design drafts handed to her.
Her feelings and expression were somewhat complicated.
She thought she had made herself clear enough last time.
And since she mentioned it last time, Qiao Haifan hasn't shown up in the last two days, so she thought she probably wouldn't have a chance to see him again.
Yang Qiaoqiao didn't accept the design drafts, but looked up at Qiao Haifan, "Mr. Qiao, I think about what I did last time..."
As soon as she spoke, Qiao Haifan put away his enthusiastic expression and looked at her seriously, saying, "Qiao Qiao, I have thought about what you said last time very seriously."
"If you won't give me a chance to pursue you, can't you at least give me a chance to be friends with you?"
Yang Qiaoqiao: ...
Qiao Haifan has already said all that, and he has helped her so much before. If she were to refuse him without any mercy, that would be truly heartless.
She reached out and took the stack of design drafts from Qiao Haifan's hand, smiling as she said to him, "Mr. Qiao, thank you."
Qiao Haifan's expression finally relaxed, and he smiled. "Qiao Qiao, now that we're friends, don't call me Mr. Qiao anymore. Just call me Afan."
"Okay, Afan, thank you," Yang Qiaoqiao said sincerely.
Next, she looked through the design drafts that Qiao Haifan had brought. As she looked, Qiao Haifan introduced her to the students who had drawn these designs.
Yang Qiaoqiao could also tell that the design drafts Qiao Haifan sent her were of very high quality, obviously he had already screened them.
She eventually selected six of the works and said to Qiao Haifan, "Hafan, I think these six works are all very good and fit our company's design philosophy and style."
My idea is that they don't need to travel to the mainland to receive their salaries. They just need to send me design drafts each month according to the design requirements, and I will pay them based on the number of designs adopted.
Yang Qiaoqiao had previously thought that it would be best to recruit someone to come back to work at her company.
But after further consideration, I felt that it was not appropriate to rehire the person.
Hong Kong has not yet returned to China. She is responsible for the people she brings back. If anything happens to them, it could escalate to a diplomatic level.
Those are problems that a businesswoman who runs a company and a factory cannot solve.
Although the internet is not well-developed now, remote work will have many communication problems and delays, but compared to other evils, we can only choose the lesser one.
"Okay, I'll go talk to these six students."
Qiao Haifan then discussed some details about hiring these students with Yang Qiaoqiao.
Once she got busy, Yang Qiaoqiao completely forgot about Huo Beixiao.
When she thought of Huo Beixiao again, her heart didn't seem to hurt as much as before.
She couldn't help but laugh at herself. Unlucky in love, but lucky in career. Indeed, working hard is the best medicine to cure everything.
After Qiao Haifan finished talking with the six students Yang Qiaoqiao had selected, he brought his people to meet with Yang Qiaoqiao in person.
After talking with all six of them, Yang Qiaoqiao was very satisfied and immediately took the prepared contracts to sign with them.
When signing the contract, Qiao Haifan also hired a professional lawyer from a well-known law firm in Hong Kong to notarize it.
Because of the confidentiality issues involved in the manuscript, we have to be very careful.
After signing the contract, Qiao Haifan saw off the lawyer and six classmates. When he came back, he specially brought Yang Qiaoqiao some wonton noodles, which she had been particularly fond of lately.
The wonton noodles were still a little hot from being cooked. When Qiao Haifan carefully handed them to Yang Qiaoqiao, he also reminded her, "Qiaoqiao, be careful, they're a little hot."
Yang Qiaoqiao reached out to take it, but her hand recoiled as soon as it touched the rim of the bowl, scalded by the heat.
Seeing her like this, Qiao Haifan laughed and said, "Never mind, I'll serve it to you, you can eat it."
Yang Qiaoqiao was a little embarrassed, but Qiao Haifan said, "It's okay. When I fall ill in the mainland where I have no relatives or friends, I can only rely on you. Just consider it a favor I'm doing for you in advance."
Yang Qiaoqiao was speechless. "Who would curse themselves to get sick?"
However, she didn't stand on ceremony any longer and started eating the wonton noodles with a spoon.
When Huo Beixiao arrived at the ward door, he saw Yang Qiaoqiao eating wonton noodles spoonful by spoonful with Qiao Haifan's help, while Qiao Haifan looked at her with a doting smile.
Huo Beixiao's face, which had been expressionless just moments before, instantly turned cold.
His first instinct was to rush in, snatch the bowl from Qiao Haifan's hand, and feed Yang Qiaoqiao himself.
But after taking two steps, he suddenly realized what he wanted to do and stopped abruptly.
Then, frowning, she said coldly, "Yang Qiaoqiao, let me remind you, we're not divorced yet!"
