046 Sick
Xie Yaoyao was speechless, but she was a teacher, and what student couldn't she fool?
"Of course, as long as the Huo Group exists, you will never suffer from poverty for the rest of your life, but are you aware of the financial crisis?"
Huo Zidu shook his head in bewilderment. He had been uneducated abroad and naturally couldn't understand these technical terms.
"A financial crisis is like a tsunami. Once it happens, no group can withstand it. Businesses suffer heavy losses, and those in charge are heavily indebted. If you don't have a skill to rely on, you can only beg for a living."
Huo Zidu looked at her with a complicated expression, "I suspect you're exaggerating."
"In short, our most important goal right now is to study hard and become a useful person when we grow up, instead of being a lazy bum who just waits to die," Xie Yaoyao said righteously.
Huo Zidu suspected she had lost her mind. "But as long as my uncle is around, the Huo Group won't collapse."
“Listen to this! Do you know the old saying: ‘If you rely on a mountain, it will crumble; if you rely on a person, they will run away’? How can you entrust your future to someone else?” Xie Yaoyao was heartbroken.
certainly.
Even if she were born into wealth and had mountains of gold and silver to spend, she would not want to be a corporate slave.
What's wrong with being a couch potato?
Huo Zidu looked troubled. "Teacher Xie, my future has always been in other people's hands."
"No, your future is in your own hands. As long as you don't give up the initiative, you can control your own destiny. Huo Zidu, your teacher believes in you. You definitely have a dream, it's just that you haven't found it yet."
Huo Zidu glanced at the door and whispered, "Actually, I have a dream."
"Then tell me your dream. I believe you will achieve it sooner or later."
Huo Zi hesitated for a while, but still took the initiative to tell Xie Yaoyao about his dream.
"My dream is to remove my uncle from the position of head of the Huo family and let me take the seat."
After Xie Ziyu washed his hands and came out, he heard Huo Zidu brazenly say that he wanted to seize power.
He's dreaming, isn't he?
Seizing power is his mission as a minor villain; try to take it from him? No way!
Xie Yaoyao clapped her hands, "Good, good, good, you have ambition. If you want to sit in that position, you have to work hard for fifty years. If you don't study now, you'll regret it when you're old."
Huo Zidu: "...After fifty years of hard work, who do you look down on?"
Xie Yaoyao patted him on the shoulder, "Anyway, it's never too late to start working on anything now."
Xie Ziyu snorted coldly, "Mommy, it's no use giving him pep talks. He's just a useless little Karami."
"Whose insults are useless?"
Although Huo Zidu didn't understand what "Little Karami" meant, he could tell from Xie Ziyu's expression that he looked down on him.
He rolled up his sleeves, and the boy, who was over 1.7 meters tall, was much taller than Xie Ziyu and had quite an imposing presence.
But Xie Ziyu wasn't intimidated at all, and struck a pose like a mantis stalking a cicada.
"Come on, let's fight if you're not convinced."
Xie Yaoyao had a terrible headache.
These two are cousins, so why do they dislike each other?
The two remained locked in a stalemate for several minutes, like fighting cocks. Huo Zidu glanced at Xie Yaoyao, who was lying on the sofa.
Remembering how he fell off the artificial hill, only Xie Yaoyao rushed over to catch him without hesitation.
In all his life, no one has ever protected him so recklessly.
To say that he wasn't moved at all would be a lie.
He said arrogantly, "I won't hold it against you since your mommy saved me."
"You don't need to be too touched. After all, if Doubao had fallen off today, my mommy would have saved it too." Xie Ziyu made a big funny face at him.
Huo Zidu retorted angrily, "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm not even as good as that dog?"
"Ha! Even dogs can understand human speech, but you can't. You're not even as good as a dog."
"Ahhh!" Huo Zidu went berserk and lunged at Xie Ziyu.
Xie Ziyu, being a wise man, turned and ran, and the two chased each other in the living room.
Despite Xie Ziyu's chubby appearance, his running speed, honed in the old tenement building, was like a whirlwind. Even Huo Zidu, with his long legs, couldn't catch up with him for a while.
Xie Yaoyao didn't care, grabbed a cushion, and lay down on it to rest for a while.
"You two have fun, I'm going to take a nap."
Seeing her close her eyes, Huo Zidu slowly stopped chasing Xie Ziyu and put a finger to his lips.
"Shh, your mommy is asleep, let's not disturb her."
Xie Ziyu immediately stopped running. Seeing that Xie Yaoyao was asleep, he tiptoed towards the door.
"Let's go, let's go outside."
The two walked out of the suite one after the other. Just as they reached the corridor, Teacher Anna came over and said, "Young Master Huo, it's time for class."
Huo Zidu's shoulders slumped. "Okay."
Xie Ziyu really liked this beautiful English teacher. "Teacher, your voice is so lovely, like a nightingale singing. Can I learn with you?"
He had listened to her from outside the door a few times before and thought her English voice was very elegant.
Ms. Anna brushed her chestnut-brown wavy hair behind her ear and smiled sweetly, "Of course."
Xie Ziyu's eyes sparkled, and he immediately grabbed Anna's hand, saying ingratiatingly, "Teacher, the floor tiles are slippery. Please walk slowly in your high heels. I'll hold your hand."
Anna was delighted by his sweet words, and seeing his chubby face, she found him particularly endearing.
Her voice cracked, "Good, Yubao is such a good boy."
Xie Ziyu scratched his head sheepishly and led Teacher Anna away.
Huo Zidu stood in the corridor, completely bewildered.
This kid is so young, and he already knows how to please women. He'll definitely grow up to be a playboy.
Xie Yaoyao injured her back and couldn't sleep at first. Her lower back would burn and hurt intermittently.
I don't know when she will finally fall into a deep sleep.
In her hazy state, she seemed to hear Xie Ziyu calling her to get up for dinner. She mumbled a response and then fell back asleep.
In her dream, she felt as if she were in a sea of fire, her whole body burning hot, as if she were being roasted on a fire.
"Water...water..."
Huo Yanxi leaned back in his chair looking at his phone. When he heard her say she was thirsty, he got up and went to the water dispenser to pour her a glass of water.
Xie Yaoyao started having a fever in the evening, and by the time Xie Ziyu noticed she was unwell, her fever had already reached 39 degrees Celsius.
He rushed out to find Butler Jian in a hurry, and bumped into Huo Yanxi who was coming downstairs.
He didn't care how aloof Huo Yanxi usually was; he grabbed Huo Yanxi's hand and ran towards the suite.
He took Xie Yaoyao's temperature and asked the housekeeper to bring her the fever reducer that was always kept at home.
The fever should have subsided by now; there was cold sweat on his forehead, but his face and lips weren't as red as before he took the fever reducer.
"The water's here, let me help you up."
