Wearing loose and comfortable pajamas, Huo Jinning leaned lazily against the soft bed, her eyes fixed intently on the television screen showing her third brother being interviewed.
Her face was filled with pride and joy, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up, letting out a soft, silly chuckle.
She secretly rejoiced that her third brother had successfully rewritten the originally tragic trajectory of fate, but at the same time she realized that the plot development seemed to have deviated from its original course and become unrecognizable.
However, this collapse is surprisingly delightful.
[Sixth Brother, do you think Third Brother will be alright from now on?]
[Replying to Master, I, Xiao Liu, do not have the authority to provide any information.]
[Hmph, I know, Third Brother will have smooth sailing from now on.]
Sixth grade [...]
[All you do is play dead.]
Huo Jinning, who was having a heated debate with Xiao Liu about some topic, suddenly had her phone ring.
He glanced at the screen and saw that it was Huo Nanchu calling, so he quickly answered: "Hey, big brother, what's up?"
"The ring you told me you wanted is ready. I'll have someone deliver it to you later, so please check it when it arrives," Huo Nanchu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"So fast?" Huo Jinning asked in surprise.
"Yes, I was afraid you'd be in a hurry, so I had the craftsmen rush to finish making it."
"Haha, thank you, brother! By the way, how about this, brother, I'll just go to the company myself to pick it up. After all, I've never been to our family's company before!"
"Okay, then have the family driver bring you over." Huo Nanchu thought about it and agreed to his sister's request.
"Okay, sure."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Jinning immediately got up, tidied herself up, and then drove to her family's company.
Upon arriving at her destination, Huo Jinning walked gracefully into the lobby and went straight to the front desk.
The receptionist smiled and asked softly, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Huo Nanchu." Huo Jinning smiled slightly and answered softly.
Wow, this girl not only has a nice voice, but she's also quite pretty.
"Excuse me, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist maintained her professional smile and continued to ask politely.
[No way, is this going to be a scene from a TV drama?]
[Will the receptionist think I'm trying to curry favor with the powerful and then ruthlessly kick me out?]
[Hehe, I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it.]
...
"Miss, Miss..."
"ah?"
Huo Jinning, who was lost in her own daydreams, was pulled back to reality by the gentle voice of the receptionist.
"Excuse me, miss, do you have an appointment?"
The receptionist didn't seem to notice Huo Jinning's distraction and continued to repeat the question in a gentle tone.
"No, then can't we meet?" Huo Jinning came back to her senses, raised an eyebrow and asked in return.
"So, miss, is there anything I can help you with?" The receptionist bowed slightly and asked patiently.
“My older brother asked me to come and pick up some things. He is Huo Nanchu,” Huo Jinning replied calmly.
He thought to himself, "Wow, this is so different from how it's portrayed in TV dramas! Shouldn't they have just kicked me out under normal circumstances?"
She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She had been looking forward to a thrilling conflict, but now it seemed that reality was far more mundane than she had imagined.
[This is so boring.]
"Please wait a moment, I..."
However, before the receptionist could finish speaking, Huo Nanchu appeared in sight.
He walked over quickly, a gentle smile on his face, and said to Huo Jinning, "Ningning, come over here."
"Miss, please follow me." Upon seeing this, the receptionist respectfully led Huo Jinning forward.
"Thank you for earlier!" Huo Jinning turned around and thanked the receptionist.
"This is my sister. If she comes again in the future, just let her in."
Huo Nanchu walked without stopping, and in a few steps he reached the front desk, where he solemnly gave his instructions.
"Yes, Mr. President," the receptionist nodded quickly in response.
"Good morning, President."
"Good morning, President."
...
Huo Jinning watched with curiosity as people greeted them along the way, and a sense of novelty welled up in her heart.
Only after they stepped into the elevator that was reserved for the two of them did the surroundings finally quiet down.
"Brother, your company's receptionist is completely different from what I imagined."
Upon hearing this, Huo Nanchu looked puzzled: "Oh? How is it different?"
Huo Jinning frowned and explained, "Generally speaking, isn't that how it's often portrayed in TV dramas? For example, when a younger sister goes to find her older brother, or a girlfriend goes to find her boyfriend who is a CEO, they are usually deliberately harassed by the receptionist and end up slinking away from the company. But those receptionists just now didn't give me that feeling at all."
Upon hearing this, Huo Nanchu smiled helplessly and gently tapped Huo Jinning's head: "Watch less of those mindless TV dramas in the future. The receptionists at big companies are professionally trained, and they are all top students who graduated from prestigious universities. How could they be as foolish as those characters in TV dramas, kicking people out without even understanding the situation?"
"That's true, hehe."
Why did you decide to go out today?
Huo Nanchu looked at her, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
Huo Jinning nodded in agreement, then sighed and said, "I only came out for a walk because I was so bored at home."
