Chapter 231 Appeasing the Child
Xia Ningxi didn't want to talk to Huo Nanxiao, so she prepared to hang up the phone.
Huo Nanxiao said, "A Yuan is angry and is ignoring me now. What should I do?"
"That's your son, and you're asking me what to do?" Qin Weiqian retorted.
Huo Nanxiao said, "He doesn't listen to me now."
Xia Ningxi: "He doesn't even listen to you, his own father, let alone me, an outsider. If he ignores you, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
"Xia Ningxi!"
Huo Nanxiao called her by her full name, clearly indicating that he was angry.
Xia Ningxi said, "Huo Yuan is your son. You don't even know how to coax him. What's the use of calling me? If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up. I'm sleepy and want to go to sleep."
Without giving Huo Nanxiao a chance to speak, Xia Ningxi slammed the phone down.
Huo Nanxiao was seething with anger, but he had nowhere to vent it.
He was worried about Huo Yuan sleeping alone in the guest room, so he waited for two hours before taking the key to open the door and keeping the little guy company while he slept.
As dawn broke, Huo Nanxiao quietly left again.
It was time for breakfast.
Huo Yuan came downstairs right on time.
Huo Xiuyuan happily picked up Huo Yuan and said with a smile, "Good morning, Yuan."
Qu Huilan was also very happy and went forward to touch the little guy's fair and tender face.
Huo Yuan politely greeted the two elders: "Good morning, Grandpa and Grandma."
Huo Xiuyuan was very satisfied: "Good boy."
He put Huo Yuan down.
Huo Nanxiao felt a surge of joy as he saw the little guy walking towards him. He subconsciously put down the magazine in his hand, ready to greet Huo Yuan. However, the little guy didn't even glance at him and walked right past him towards the restaurant.
All morning, Huo Yuan didn't say a single word to Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Xiuyuan also sensed something was wrong. He glanced at Huo Nanxiao and asked, "Did you bully Ayuan?"
"No," Huo Nanxiao denied.
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Then why is he ignoring you?"
Huo Nanxiao didn't know either.
After breakfast, Huo Nanxiao originally planned to leave Huo Yuan at home, but after the little guy finished eating, he suggested going to Xia Ningxi's house.
Huo Nanxiao said, "She changed jobs and doesn't have time to take care of you. Just stay home and rest for a while, and go to kindergarten in a few days."
Seeing that Huo Nanxiao refused to agree, Huo Yuan ignored him and asked Huo Xiuyuan directly, "Grandpa, I want to go to Dr. Xia's house, is that alright?"
“Okay, Grandpa will take you.” Huo Xiuyuan agreed without even thinking.
In the end, it was Huo Nanxiao who gave Huo Yuan the gift.
However, Huo Yuan didn't say a word the whole way. He leaned against the car window, looking outside, and didn't speak to Huo Nanxiao.
When they arrived at Xia Ningxi's house, Huo Yuan opened the car door and got out.
Huo Nanxiao quickly followed.
Xia Jingcheng was somewhat surprised to hear the knock on the door and see Huo Nanxiao.
He said, "Ningxi has already gone to work, so the child can stay with me."
Huo Nanxiao frowned: "When did she leave?"
"I've been out for about twenty minutes," Xia Jingcheng replied.
Huo Nanxiao lowered his head: "A Yuan, Dr. Xia isn't here. Why don't you come back to work at the company with me?"
"No, I want to stay here. I'm not going to work with you." Huo Yuan refused outright.
Huo Nanxiao's handsome face darkened slightly. He said patiently, "If you stay here, no one will keep you company. You might as well come back to the company with me."
"I'm going to play with my little sister Chu Chu. I don't want to go back to the company with Daddy. Daddy can go back to where he came from. Don't bother me." Huo Yuan said arrogantly.
Huo Nanxiao's lips twitched violently.
Xia Jingcheng suppressed a laugh and said to Huo Nanxiao very seriously, "It seems the child doesn't want to go with you. In that case, let him stay here with me. I will take good care of him."
Huo Nanxiao had a gloomy face and didn't say a word, but it was obvious to everyone that he was angry.
Huo Nanxiao was still furious when he left.
It seems that Huo Nanxiao had been upset by Huo Yuan, because he was like a powder keg all morning. When he got to the company, he started yelling at any inattentive employees during the meeting.
After the meeting ended, the senior officials were terrified and ran away faster than rabbits.
Someone couldn't help but ask Ye Su, "Who provoked the CEO today? Why does he seem like he's on fire?"
Ye Su was also confused. She shook her head and said, "I'm not sure."
Seeing that they couldn't get any information from them, the group didn't dare stay any longer and quickly left.
Huo Nanxiao was still in the conference room at this time.
Ye Su strode in: "President."
Huo Nanxiao asked, "What's the situation with the Han family?"
Ye Su replied, "Young Master Han bought a luxury house in Lingding Waterfront yesterday. It seems he plans to settle down in the capital. The Han family has also been doing business with some companies in the capital recently. They are very good at finding partners, and they are looking for companies that are not on good terms with our company."
The Han family's intention in specifically seeking cooperation with Huo Nanxiao's rivals is obvious without even thinking.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Let's spread the word that anyone who dares to cooperate with the Han family is going against me. Let them think twice before they cooperate."
Ye Su nodded: "Don't worry, President, I've already sent people to suppress those small companies. However, there's some trouble with Young Master Jinchuan. I heard that Young Master Han has been spending a lot of time with Young Master Jinchuan these past few days, and our people have already run into him twice..."
At this point, Ye Su's expression turned noticeably unpleasant, as if she had something on her mind and didn't dare to continue.
Huo Nanxiao noticed her hesitation and asked, "Did you discover anything else?"
Ye Su lowered her head and said, "According to the information gathered by the investigators, it seems that Young Master Jinchuan is going to join forces with Young Master Han to take charge of the Nanyang project."
Bang--
A loud bang.
The teacup shattered into pieces.
Ye Su lowered her head: "We don't have concrete evidence that Young Master Jinchuan and Young Master Han are colluding right now, but their interactions have indeed been quite close recently."
"I understand, you can leave now." Huo Nanxiao suppressed his anger, wanting nothing more than to curse Huo Jinchuan, that idiot.
Does Huo Jinchuan not know the relationship between the Han family and the Huo family?
That blind fool actually dared to join forces with Han Musen.
They're really courting death.
Huo Nanxiao's handsome face could not hide his anger.
Ye Su didn't dare to stay any longer, so she lowered her head and hurriedly left.
"Wait a minute." Huo Nanxiao suddenly called out to Ye Su.
Ye Su stopped: "Is there anything else you need, President?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "Go to the finance department and allocate 20 million yuan to the Imperial City Biological Research Center for Xia Xixi's research funding. Don't let her know."
A look of surprise flashed in Ye Su's eyes. She smiled and nodded, "Okay, President, don't worry, I will definitely handle it well."
Huo Nanxiao then asked, "Also, let me ask you, what kind of gifts do children like?"
Ye Su said, "Toys, and snacks too. Is the CEO buying a gift for the young master?"
"Yes." Huo Nanxiao nodded, then, remembering that Xia Ningxi had a little girl at home, he said, "There's another little girl."
Ye Su said, "It's easy for little girls. We can buy them Snow White dolls, lots of pretty dresses and jewelry. Girls love beauty and bright, pretty things. But, who is the CEO planning to buy these for?"
Huo Nanxiao frowned and said, "A Yuan is angry with me lately, so I want to buy him some gifts. As for the rest..."
Huo Nanxiao thought about it carefully. If Huo Yuan received many gifts while Xia Chuchu did not, Xia Chuchu might be angry.
Although that little tiger wasn't his daughter, she was very sharp-tongued. Huo Nanxiao believed that Huo Yuan's sudden rebelliousness must have been due to Xia Chuchu's influence. Otherwise, how could Huo Yuan, who was so obedient and well-behaved, possibly be giving him the cold shoulder?
Huo Yuan's rebellious behavior is definitely related to Xia Chuchu.
Huo Nanxiao even felt that if he went to Xia Ningxi's house empty-handed after get off work, Xia Chuchu would definitely block the door and not let him in.
