021 Huo got angry and cried.
Pei Yan watched him nervously, noticing his strange expression, which seemed to be about to cry but wasn't.
He thought to himself.
We're doomed!
This egg pancake must be so awful that it made Huo Sheng cry.
Pei Yan said cautiously, "Mr. Huo, is it not to your liking? Should I throw it away?"
"You dare!"
Huo Yanxi glared at him with red eyes, and hugged the thermos to her chest like a chick guarding its food. This action was completely out of character for his aloof and noble temperament.
Pei Yan's eye twitched, and he quickly put his outstretched hand behind his back.
"I won't throw it away, I won't throw it away."
Huo Yanxi swallowed the egg pancake in his mouth in a hurry. Strangely, just like the egg noodles last night, he did not feel nauseous. He just felt dizzy from the aroma.
His eyes were brimming with tears; he was so moved he wanted to cry.
How long has it been since he's had such delicious food?
Looking back, it feels like something from a past life.
Pei Yan didn't dare to look him in the eye and quickly lowered his head. "I'll go get you some water."
He left the conference room quietly.
In the conference room.
Huo Yanxi looked down at the egg pancakes in the thermos. He thought of the boat house in the small fishing village, and he also thought of Chi Xiaoman.
After being adopted by Grandma Chi, the Chi family lived in increasing poverty.
However, living by the sea meant that even though the family was poor, they never lacked fish or meat.
The villagers in the small fishing village are united and friendly. After fishing at sea, they will share some of the fish that are not of good quality with Grandma Chi.
He disliked eating fish, but he never said it aloud.
Unexpectedly, Chi Xiaoman noticed this and would secretly steal an egg and flour to make pancakes for her grandmother when she went out to deliver goods.
That was the best egg pancake he had ever eaten, a blend of crispy and tender, oily and fresh scallion flavors that went straight into his stomach, becoming a solid and warm feeling of fullness.
Without realizing it, his gaze became fixed on her.
He imagined they would be together for life, whether in poverty or wealth, never abandoning each other.
But.
But when the Huo family came knocking, she easily gave up on him. Even after he left, fearing he would come back and cause trouble, she set fire to the houseboat.
Huo Yanxi picked up a piece of egg pancake and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.
The familiar taste eased his stomach cramps, but filled his heart with bitterness.
Pei Yan returned with a water glass and saw Huo Yanxi in the conference room through the crack in the door.
Perhaps it was the glaring sunlight outside the window, but he seemed to see a glistening tear in the man's eye.
He glanced down at the water glass in his hand and didn't go in to disturb them.
-
Huo Zidu was tricked by Xie Yaoyao and was so angry that he called Si Yuan.
"Mommy, I want to fire that Xie girl. I don't want her to be my teacher."
Si Yuan was getting a facial at the beauty salon, with a face mask on. She said seriously, "Huo Zidu, don't be willful. Your uncle is in charge now."
Since Huo Yanzhou disappeared, their eldest branch of the family has had no say in the Huo family.
Yesterday, she wanted to stay at Huo Yanxi's house, but he refused her without any hesitation.
If they anger him again, he might send Huo Zidu back to the United States, and all their plans would fall through.
Huo Zidu clutched his soaking wet clothes, his face stubborn. "But she's abusing me. She's even splashing water on me. If this continues, I'll be tortured to death."
"What did you say?"
Although Si Yuan treated Huo Zidu as a tool, he was still her own flesh and blood, so she wasn't that heartless.
Upon hearing that he was being abused by Xie Yaoyao, she sprang up from the beauty bed without even noticing that her face mask had fallen off.
"What did you say?"
Huo Zi was startled by her overly excited tone, fearing that she would discover he was lying.
He stammered, "It's just...it's just that she doesn't like me."
"This is outrageous! Even if our main branch has declined, she, a mere tutor, is not someone who dares to bully us at will. You wait, I'm going to find your uncle."
Si Yuan finally found an opportunity to go to Huo Yanxi's headquarters, but she was disappointed to find him gone.
Huo Yanxi went to inspect the new energy company in the afternoon and was not at the company.
Si Yuan stomped her foot in anger, suspecting that Huo Yanxi knew she was coming and was deliberately avoiding her.
She got back into her car and was about to navigate to No. 22 Victoria Peak when she suddenly remembered something. She picked up her phone and made a call.
A few seconds later, Mrs. Huo's cold voice came from the other end of the phone, "What is it?"
Si Yuan pinched her thigh hard, tears welling up in her eyes, and said, "Mom, the tutor Yanxi hired has violent tendencies. He physically punished Zidu during class today and even poured cold water on him. It's so cold in the villa, what if he catches a cold?"
"What kind of upbringing is this, so presumptuous?" Madam Huo was furious. "How dare you insult the Huo family!"
Si Yuan pretended to cry, "I've met that tutor. He's fat and has low moral character. Yanxi doesn't want Zidu to succeed; he clearly wants to ruin him."
Mrs. Huo dotes on her grandson.
Six months after Huo Yanxi returned to the Huo family, he joined forces with the shareholders to force Old Master Huo to step down and quickly took control of the Huo Group.
The first thing he did after taking power was to send Huo Zidu abroad, separating them from their grandfather and grandson, and subjecting them to the agony of separation from their loved ones.
For the past five years, they have tried every means to bring Huo Zidu back to China. Now that they have finally brought him back, she is determined to ensure that Huo Zidu receives the best education.
Madam Huo's heart ached. "Where are you? Come with me to Huo Yanxi's house. I want to see what kind of monster he hired to teach my precious grandson."
With Mrs. Huo backing her up, Si Yuan's lips were practically curled up to her ears when she hung up the phone.
Today she is determined to fire Xie Yaoyao and then move into Huo Yanxi's house.
Those who are near the water get the moon first.
Huo Yanxi is the best of the best among men; both his looks and his temperament are top-notch in Hong Kong.
As long as she can subdue him, why should Huo Zi have no future?
Si Yuan touched up her red makeup in the car mirror, started the car, and drove towards Victoria Peak.
Inside the villa.
At the end of the day's classes, Xie Yaoyao convened a brief meeting to review the day's teaching content.
Teacher Lin said gloatingly, "Teacher Xie, Young Master Huo has been uncooperative from beginning to end. He said that as long as you resign, he will obediently listen to our lectures. Why don't you resign?"
Teacher Anna tugged at her sleeve, "Say less, we're all just working people."
“Yes, we’re all just working. Why should I get a daily wage of 3,000 while she gets 50,000? Is it just because she’s fatter than me?” Teacher Lin was particularly angry about this.
Xie Yaoyao: "If you're not convinced, why don't you gain weight too?"
Teacher Lin completely failed to grasp the situation.
Was Huo Yanxi helping her yesterday?
No!
He used her to oppose Si Yuan, using her as a pawn.
However, with these three million, she's quite happy being a gunman.
Ms. Lin glared at him, her eyes wide with anger. "You! Just wait to be fired!"
After saying that, she picked up the teaching materials and stormed out of the room.
Ms. Anna was a bit quiet and shy, and she gave Xie Yaoyao an awkward smile.
"Teacher Xie, we need to address Young Master Huo's emotional issues as soon as possible, otherwise it will delay the course schedule, and I'm afraid President Huo will hold us accountable."
