As morning light streamed into the conference room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the dark red bite marks on Huo Hanting's neck became faintly visible.
He was typing away at the financial statements.
"The cash flow deficit widened to 12.7% in the third quarter..."
"I need a reasonable explanation."
The executives below the stage held their breath, no one daring to speak, while the internal group chat was flooded with messages.
"Mr. Huo still has scratches below his collarbone! I bet five cents it was a fierce battle last night!"
"The lady looks so gentle and kind, I never imagined she was such a skilled wolf tamer!"
"Turns out, CEO Huo is the reserved type. He seems indifferent to women on the surface, but he's actually more virile than anyone else!"
Huo Hanting glanced at the phones hidden on the table, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips.
He deliberately unbuttoned two buttons.
He did it on purpose.
He deliberately wanted the whole company to see the medal that Fu Yu had given him.
Tell the whole world that he is Fu Yu's man.
After the meeting, I returned to my office.
Xiao Jinghui sat at his desk, twirling a lighter between his fingers. "Oh, isn't this our newlywed CEO Huo?"
"Newlyweds coming to work? Aren't you worried about your wife being left alone at home?"
"If you have something to say, say it; if you don't, get lost."
Xiao Jinghui scratched his head.
"Brother Huo Ting, is the Chen family, such a small and insignificant family, even worth your time?"
"Are you going to oppose me?"
Huo Hanting tapped his fingertips on the table. "I heard your grandmother is recently acquiring land in the south of the city?"
Xiao Jinghui immediately raised her hands in surrender, expressing her determination.
"It's all because old man Chen cried while clinging to my grandma's cane last night, and I stopped him outside the Buddhist hall and let him stand in the rain for three hours. You know old people are soft-hearted, but don't worry, anyone in Shenzhen who dares to take over the Chen family's business, I'll chop off their hand!"
"That's more like it."
Huo Hanting placed the documents on his desk. "Let's go, it's been a long time since we went hunting."
Every month, prominent figures in Shenzhen go hunting in the hunting grounds.
It is both a social activity and a trading venue for various capital entities to exchange insider information.
As soon as Huo Hanting arrived, a chorus of cheers erupted in the hall: "Hey, isn't this our CEO Huo!"
Several scions of prominent families who were acquainted with Huo Hanting whistled and gathered around.
They all served and retired at the same time.
He and Huo Hanting were brothers who had risked their lives together.
"Wow, I never expected that I would actually live to see Huo Hanting get married and have children."
"Yeah, I thought Brother Hanting was otherworldly."
"Oh dear, I still remember that person who would stare at that little love letter in the mailbox every day?"
Huo Hanting's jawline tightened into a line: "Stop talking nonsense."
"Yes, yes, what love letter? They're just pen pals."
Huo Hanting engaged in pen pal activities for a period of time during his military service.
Pen pals wrote letters anonymously to each other, and no one else took it seriously.
On the contrary, Huo Hanting, who is usually carefree, confided his troubles to strangers through handwritten letters.
The other party gently encouraged Huo Hanting not to give up on himself because of past hurts.
For him, pen pals were a ray of light shining into his dark world.
Unfortunately, after Huo Hanting retired from the military, he went to the orphanage that sent the letter, only to find it deserted and closed down a long time ago.
After the original world system detected Huo Hanting's intentions, it immediately arranged for Chen Manzi to deliver the tender documents to Huo Hanting.
The handwriting on the tender document is exactly the same as that of my pen pal.
That's when Huo Hanting developed a protective instinct towards her.
However, his protective instincts became distorted as Chen Manzi struggled and resisted time and time again.
Ultimately, it leads to self-destruction.
What are you talking about?
Fu Yu changed into hunting clothes and walked over, looking dashing and heroic.
"Sister-in-law is here! Sister-in-law!"
"Oh, Mr. Huo, don't be nervous. Your wife won't be jealous."
"Mind your own business."
Huo Hanting gave Xiao Jinghui a meaningful look: "Did you invite Ayu over?"
Xiao Jinghui had her hands in her pockets.
"I just asked my sister-in-law to come and show off your affection. As for the love letter, that was a foolish thing you did."
"You got yourself into this mess, so don't blame me. Think about how to explain it to your sister-in-law."
Fu Yu asked with a smile, "What kind of love letter?"
"That's not what they're saying."
"Ms. Fu, someone is looking for you."
Before the words were even finished, a little girl came bounding over: "Sister!"
"Call her sister-in-law."
Huo Hanting looked sternly at Huo Tailing.
Huo Tailing made a face and waved to Fu Yu: "Sister, I need to talk to you."
"What's wrong?"
Could you please sign my exam paper?
Huo Tailing secretly took out the 20-point test paper and said, "Just sign it here."
What's the maximum score?
"100".
"Try harder next time. If there's anything you don't understand, I can tutor you."
Fu Yu smiled and signed Huo Tailing's autograph.
Huo Hanting snatched the test paper away: "Huo Tailing, have you gotten into trouble again...?"
Upon seeing Fu Yu's signature, Huo Hanting's pupils contracted sharply.
The handwriting on the exam paper was exactly the same as that of my pen pal.
In her past life, Chen Manzi's work was all done by Fu Yu. Fu Yu also prepared the tender document and then signed Chen Manzi's name on the first page.
In this life, Fu Yu missed this part of the story because Huo Hanting left Chen Manzi early on.
"Oh my, what a coincidence that we're connected by fate from afar."
"So you were already in their trap from the very beginning. Han Ting's ideal woman is both far away and right in front of you."
Huo Hanting was holding the test paper, and Huo Tailing thought he was angry because she had scored too low.
She pouted and said, "Brother, I'll do better next time and won't embarrass you again."
