Wen Li watched in stunned silence.
Uncle Huo looked to be at least sixty years old, and over those sixty years, he had fathered dozens of children with different women.
You could say he's irresponsible, but he's seeing different women outside the marriage.
On the one hand, he's supposed to be responsible, but on the other hand, he wants to give each child a home and provide his son and daughter with an equal monthly allowance of 100,000 yuan.
The problem is that even though they are running out of money now, they are thinking about taking over Uncle Huo's original land to start a business, and they are unwilling to reduce the children's living expenses.
The main character is a philandering but loving father.
However, Huo Yinghuai was already mentally prepared for Huo Sanshu's shameless behavior over the past two months, so when Huo Sanshu was lying on the ground, he was too lazy to even ask his assistant to pull him up.
He went even further, saying, "There's something wrong with my uncle's land. If development continues, he'll have to pay at least hundreds of millions in compensation."
Uncle Huo thought there was hope and quickly got up from the ground: "Then you have to give me a way to make money, otherwise my girls and sons will starve to death."
Uncle Huo was truly poor.
The monthly living expenses of 100,000 are secondary; the tuition fees for the girls' and boys' talents are the real expense.
Winter break is just around the corner, and then school will start again, which will cost a lot of money.
Uncle Huo's hair turned white from anxiety all the time.
He pleaded, "Nephew, I'm begging you, I really have no money right now. If it's really that bad, please let me work at the company and arrange a job with a higher salary."
Uncle Huo generally agreed with his nephew's judgment, after all, since Huo Yinghuai took power, the Huo family had become the leader in the business world, and their assets had multiplied several times in just four years.
He didn't actually care about the boss's land, but he thought that he could at least make some money after it was built, so he wanted to come over.
But Huo Yinghuai absolutely refused!
Now that Huo Yinghuai is showing signs of softening his stance, Huo's third uncle is going to pester him relentlessly, insisting that his nephew give him some ways to make money.
"Uncle's demands aren't high, but I am, after all, your uncle, so my annual salary must not be lower than your company manager's."
Huo Yinghuai: "The manager's annual salary is 100 million."
"Then Uncle will take two hundred million." Uncle Huo said matter-of-factly.
He is Huo Yinghuai's uncle, so his status can't be lower than that of a company manager, otherwise what will people outside think of him?
Moreover, with the Huo Group developing so well in recent years, two hundred million is just a drop in the ocean for his nephew.
Uncle Huo was certain that Huo Yinghuai would agree.
However--
"no."
Huo Yinghuai spoke with a slightly indifferent tone.
Uncle Huo's expression immediately cracked, and he said indignantly, "No? Why not?"
"The manager is a PhD graduate in gaming from MIT."
Uncle Huo didn't quite understand: "Wh-what do you mean?"
He always felt that Huo Yinghuai's words sounded strange.
Wen Li, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and reminded her, "It means you should look in the mirror and see if you're worthy."
Uncle Huo: ...
He belatedly realized that Huo Yinghuai's words were indeed true.
"Wait, who are you?" Uncle Huo narrowed his eyes and looked at Wen Li who spoke.
Wen Li could tell from the young age that Huo Yinghuai was quite young. Although he wasn't very satisfied with his nephew, he still trusted Huo Yinghuai's character and didn't think he would be interested in this young girl.
Moreover, he felt that Wen Li looked somewhat familiar.
"My name is Wen Li." Wen Li introduced herself: "Wen Tingsong is my father."
Okay, that's the truth.
Uncle Huo solved the case. This little girl looked somewhat similar to Wen Tingsong, except that her facial features were much softer. However, upon closer inspection, one could still tell the difference.
"So you're the one who sent the boss in?"
The news of the eldest son of the Huo family killing his wife has spread throughout high society, and he hasn't dared to go out for some time now.
At the time, he was angry with Huo Yinghuai and neither he nor his youngest son attended Huo Yinghuai's birthday banquet. They only vaguely heard from others that it was the youngest daughter of the Wen family who had returned that reported it.
Huo Yinghuai forbade them from interfering in the boss's affairs, so much so that he still doesn't know the specifics of the matter.
Next to Uncle Huo, a man who was almost invisible also looked over.
Wen Li was also looking at her. Their gazes met in the air, and neither of them spoke. The office suddenly fell silent.
Uncle Huo looked to be in his early forties. He and Huo Yinghuai looked somewhat alike, the only difference being their eyes, which were slightly slanted inwards.
From the moment we entered, it was Uncle Huo who was speaking, while this person seemed to be invisible.
"I heard before that Ying Huai brought a young girl home, and I thought it was just the media making things up, but it seems to be true."
Uncle Huo suddenly spoke, his voice like the rippling green tea leaves in spring, or like clear, refreshing water.
However, Wen Li's brows furrowed even more tightly.
From the moment Uncle Huo the Third and Uncle Huo the Fourth entered, the entire office was enveloped in a huge, thick ghostly aura.
On the seemingly gentle Uncle Huo, a child of about four or five years old was grinning at her.
This little devil had his eyes and ears gouged out before he died, but he seemed to be very dependent on Uncle Huo. His semi-transparent body was almost merging into Uncle Huo's body.
Wen Li was certain that this seemingly kind-hearted Uncle Huo might be closely related to the malevolent aura that Huo Yinghuai had accumulated over the years.
Wen Li lowered her eyes, her expression returning to normal in an instant. She said, "I happened to save Huo Yinghuai when I went down the mountain to look for my relatives. He saw that I had nowhere to go and kindly took me in for a month."
Uncle Huo twitched the corners of his mouth, but the smile was faint, as if it would disappear in the next second.
He said, "That's quite a coincidence."
Wen Li felt that there was something wrong with Uncle Huo. An ordinary person was tainted with ghostly energy but was not affected at all. Most importantly, Uncle Huo also had the same golden light as Huo Yinghuai.
Seeing this, Huo Yinghuai said, "Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, I am now in charge of the Huo family. If you want to join the company, you can. I can give you two uncles some small companies under the Huo family to practice with."
Uncle Huo immediately objected: "A small company? Isn't that sending us both to the frontier? How much is the annual salary? If it's not two hundred million, at least Uncle Huo should get one hundred million. After all, Uncle Huo used to hold you when you were a child, right?"
Huo Yinghuai: "The annual salary will be based on market prices, but since they are members of the Huo family, as their nephew, I certainly cannot treat my two uncles unfairly. I will give them an annual salary that is more than 20 percent higher than the market rate."
Uncle Huo hesitated for a moment.
He came to the company to see Huo Yinghuai every day this month, but Huo Yinghuai refused to budge.
Now that they've finally relented, if he still doesn't appreciate it, his nephew might get angry and not only lose his position as a junior manager in the small company, but he might also have his bonuses withheld.
Huo Yinghuai may appear gentle on the surface, but he is actually ruthless and has a heart harder than iron.
I won't consider anyone with an annual salary of less than 50 million!
Huo Yinghuai smiled: "Then fifty million."
When Uncle Huo saw that Huo Yinghuai had agreed so easily, his heart trembled slightly.
Damn, I miscalculated.
I should have said 80 million!
