The day they set off for the villa was sunny and clear, a perfect time for an outing.
Huo Shan drove the vehicle, carrying Zhao Qiuying, and set off first.
Meanwhile, Huo Nanchu, Huo Chengyu, Huo Jinxin, and Huo Jinning got into another car, with Huo Chengyu acting as the driver.
It takes about three hours to drive from Beijing to Nanyuan Villa in Xiaotan Town.
"Brother, you weren't just giving me a perfunctory answer yesterday, were you? Although you came with me to the Nanyuan Villa today, did you actually send someone to participate in the bidding?" Huo Jinning asked suspiciously.
"Brother, I always keep my word. How could I go back on my word?" Huo Nanchu replied calmly.
"Normally, for important bidding events like this, either I or my father handle it personally. After all, sometimes we need to improvise on the spot, and we don't really trust other people," Huo Nanchu continued to explain.
In fact, Huo Nanchu was not lying; he did not send anyone else to the bidding site.
The ones who actually carried out this mission were Huo Shan and Zhao Qiuying.
They pretended to bid, but they didn't actually submit any bids.
Only in this way can we more effectively confuse our opponents.
As for the reason behind this, it's best not to let my sister know.
Anyway, my parents will come to meet them when they're done with their work.
"That's good, big brother is so kind. I wish I had a sister-in-law." Huo Jinning looked at Huo Nanchu expectantly and said, "Where are you, my dear sister-in-law?"
Hearing his sister's words, Huo Nanchu couldn't help but rub his forehead and sigh inwardly.
He now manages both of his parents' companies by himself, and he's so busy every day that he wishes he could do the work of two people. He simply doesn't have the time or energy to look for a girlfriend.
"It will come in time," Huo Nanchu replied helplessly.
"Big brother, you're not still hung up on that Ye Lan, are you?" Huo Jinning suddenly blurted out.
"No, no, it's just that my brother really doesn't have time right now," Huo Nanchu quickly explained.
"The company is so busy, why don't you manage it? That way I'll have time to help you find a sister-in-law!" Huo Nanchu knew that Huo Jinning was rather lazy, so she deliberately teased her with a joke.
"No, I don't want to!" Huo Jinning shook her head like a rattle-drum, and said nervously, "Besides, I've never studied how to manage a company. What if I mess it up and bankrupt the company? Then we'll all be eating dirt!" She didn't want to take on such a big responsibility, and she was even more afraid that such a thing would happen to her.
"Why don't you let my sister go? I think she can definitely take our Huo family to the next level." Huo Jinning looked at her with firm eyes and suggested with a very confident tone.
[With my sister's intelligence and competence, she will naturally manage the company impeccably and lead the Huo family to even greater heights.]
Huo Jinning thought to herself, filled with confidence and anticipation for her sister.
[This is a future powerful female CEO! Not only that, she's also the key figure who can revive the Huo family business.]
Thinking about this, Huo Jinning couldn't help but feel excited about her idea.
[My older sister is the perfect person to manage the company!]
The more she thought about it, the more brilliant the idea seemed, and she secretly praised herself: I'm such a clever little devil!
However, Huo Jinxin, who was sitting to the side, shook her head and refused without hesitation: "I don't want to. I want to become an outstanding painter in the future."
Moreover, with her younger sister around, everyone in the Huo family will be safe and sound, so she no longer needs to give up her dreams.
The thought of her character in the book eventually becoming a domineering female CEO made Huo Jinxin realize that it must have been a choice she had to make out of necessity.
[Yes! The book also says that before the Huo family's misfortune, my sister's dream was to become a painter, but unfortunately...]
But things are different now. Now that I'm here, I naturally have to protect my family.
"The way you two act makes it seem like your family business is some kind of ferocious and terrifying monster, inspiring fear in everyone. Yet, how many people dream of owning one!" Huo Chengyu, who was focused on driving, suddenly interjected.
Upon hearing this, Huo Nanchu glanced helplessly at his troublesome third brother and retorted stiffly, "In that case, why don't you take charge of the company's affairs?"
"Uh...you guys continue talking, I need to concentrate on driving, I can't afford to get distracted." Huo Chengyu quickly stopped the conversation, afraid of being dragged into managing the company.
He had tried it before, but the life of sitting at his desk all day, facing mountains of documents, gave him a splitting headache.
In comparison, the outside world is much more exciting—the magnificent landscapes of his motherland are waiting for him to explore and appreciate them one by one. Only in this way can he make his life worthwhile. That is why he has no interest in going to work at the company.
[Look at our family, we own such a huge business empire, yet not a single one of us is tempted. They all just want to coast along and live a life of leisure.]
Look at the families in the neighborhood! They'll stop at nothing to get a share of the inheritance and power, even fighting tooth and nail. The intensity and cruelty are truly astonishing!
[I realize we need to treat my older brother better from now on. If something happens to him and he leaves us one day, we'll all probably go hungry.]
[Qian Chengfeng failed in his attempt in this incident in the eastern suburbs, but given his personality, he will certainly not let it go easily and will definitely make a comeback in the future.]
These annoying guys are absolutely irritating!
"Little sister, come and try this, it tastes amazing!" Huo Jinxin smiled and handed the bag of cucumber-flavored potato chips to Huo Jinning.
It turned out that she saw Huo Jinning looking worried, with her brows almost furrowed, so she deliberately tried to cheer her up.
"Okay, sure!" Huo Jinning forgot her troubles and happily accepted the potato chips.
A crisp "crunch" sound rang out, followed by Huo Jinning's satisfied exclamation: "So delicious!"
Chewing on delicious potato chips, she seemed to feel cheerful.
“Since you think it’s delicious, why not eat more? There are other flavors here too, you can try them. Anyway, we still have more than two hours to go to our destination. Let’s eat and chat, that way the time will pass faster,” Huo Jinxin said gently.
"Okay, sure!" Huo Jinning mumbled through her snack.
Huo Jin thought to herself, "I don't know if having a younger sister who only knows how to eat is a good thing or a bad thing."
So the siblings chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and pleasant.
