He stood still for a moment, then asked directly, "Where is Huo Ming?"
Huo Ming was his former assistant. Although he had been fired, he was still a member of a branch of the Huo family and therefore continued to work for a company under the Huo family.
The assistant paused for a moment, explained Huo Ming's situation, and then couldn't help but ask, "Did he do something wrong?"
It's no wonder he thought that way; Huo Yuntang's sinister nature was so suffocating that it was hard to breathe, even though he had been so kind and gentle to that village girl earlier.
Huo Yuntang sneered: "What did he do wrong? He's deceived his superiors and covered up his crimes; he's done far more than a hundred. Issue a notice to blacklist Huo Ming. I don't want to see him in any Huo-related company again!"
He was a little irritated, loosened his tie, and angrily kicked the trash can next to him.
It's extremely unpleasant to be made a fool of like that.
Huo Ming had clashed with Xie Li several times. He had clearly seen what Xie Li looked like and knew that he had been searching for the fairy who saved him, but he had kept it a secret all along.
Even when he reported the recent trending topic to himself, he omitted the part about Xie Li's rumored plastic surgery being caused by burns from a wildfire.
Otherwise, how could he have missed Xie Li time and time again?
However, since things have come to this point, the most important thing now is to clear up Xie Li's misunderstanding of him as soon as possible.
Huo Yuntang pinched the bridge of his nose, quickly calming down. "Go and get that set of imperial green jade jewelry. I want to give it to Xie Li."
The assistant was truly astonished. "Young Master! That's what you were planning to give to Miss Ziyuan—you intend to propose to her tonight and present her with this set of jewelry as a sign of your seriousness."
Huo Yuntang gave him a cold look. "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The assistant certainly wouldn't dare, but he still had to advise him, otherwise things would get really complicated.
"Everyone in the Huo family knows you will propose to Miss Ziyuan tonight, and the Ding family knows too. Madam went there early and has already sent a car to Miss Ziyuan..."
If Huo Yuntang breaks his promise and doesn't propose, things will get complicated.
The key point is that Huo Yuntang is not the only heir in the Huo family; his cousins from the eldest branch are also eyeing the position covetously.
If we anger Old Master Huo, we'll likely have to go to the ancestral hall again, making the eldest branch of the family laugh at us.
Huo Yuntang pondered for a moment, "The proposal will proceed as planned. Isn't there an engagement ring? There's no need to send jewelry. What we gave Xie Ziyuan today was already grand enough."
He had already made his decision, so what could his assistant say but to go and retrieve the set of imperial green jadeite jewelry?
——
Xie Zian also noticed that Xie Li's neck was bare.
The boy pursed his lips, looking hesitant. "Actually, Mom asked me to bring a set of platinum jewelry..."
In this kind of situation, Xie Li absolutely cannot be allowed to have his neck bare; people will laugh at him.
Xie Zian clenched his fingers. He hadn't originally wanted to take out this set of platinum jewelry; Ding Huizhu's condescending and condescending tone made him very uncomfortable.
Xie Li let go of his arm, and the two entered a small banquet hall. It was decorated carefully, but it was empty; there wasn't a single person in it.
Upon seeing this situation, Xie Zian immediately understood, and his guilt and unease intensified.
Xie Li glanced at him casually and waved his hand, "No need, I don't need her things."
She really didn't dare accept anything from Ding Huizhu, who knew what strange requests she might have. She felt that, as they had agreed before, it would be best for them to keep their distance.
