SAG -Chapter 67 Huo Zhiyuan’s Change

Meng Mingxuan began busily carrying out Zhang Ran’s instructions.

This was probably the hardest he had ever worked in his life.

Not only was Meng Zixuan surprised by his change, even Ning Qing and the others were shocked.

Since when had Meng Mingxuan cared about things like this?

Since when had he become so ambitious?

Of course, Meng Mingxuan would never admit that aside from that small sense of accomplishment, the reason he obeyed Zhang Ran so readily was also because of a faint fear in his heart.

Although Zhang Ran had never lost his temper with him, and most of the time spoke to him in a consultative tone, ever since witnessing what happened with Sun Ermin that day, Meng Mingxuan didn’t know why, but whenever he saw Zhang Ran’s calm, unreadable face, he felt afraid deep down.

Meng He looked at Lin Meizhi with a smile.

“How about it? Brother Zhang is still amazing, isn’t he? That boy can only behave obediently under Brother Zhang.”

He was extremely satisfied with Meng Mingxuan’s performance during this period.

Especially when he heard that Meng Mingxuan had taken the initiative to form his own negotiation team and only needed Meng He to provide some assistance, Meng He became even happier.

Lin Meizhi was also happy about her son’s change, but she was still a little worried.

“I know Brother Zhang is training him, but I’m afraid this change is too sudden. What if he can’t handle it? And what if he affects Brother Zhang’s plans?”

Meng He waved it off.

“Don’t worry. That boy is tougher than you think. He isn’t as useless as you imagine.”

“As for affecting Brother Zhang’s plans, that won’t happen.”

“Brother Zhang has his own ideas. He definitely understands Mingxuan’s abilities and won’t make him do something too far beyond his reach.”

“Alright.”

“Oh, by the way, Zixuan told me she wants to work at Kang Shilan. What do you think?”

Concern appeared in Lin Meizhi’s eyes.

Ever since Meng He handed Meng Mingxuan over to Zhang Ran, Lin Meizhi had understood Meng He’s choice.

She believed Meng Zixuan could guess it too.

So she was worried Meng Zixuan might overthink things because of this.

Meng He glanced at her.

“Don’t overthink it. Zhiyuan has already spoken to me about this. Don’t worry.”

“And don’t you know what our two children are like? Something like that won’t happen.”

Hearing Meng He’s reassurance, Lin Meizhi could only nod.

Huo Zhiyuan’s Office

Zhao Jingyu was reporting work to Huo Zhiyuan when someone suddenly knocked and walked in.

“Did I give you permission to enter?”

Huo Zhiyuan frowned.

Huo Li laughed loudly.

“Second Sister, I didn’t realize you were working. You go ahead, I’ll just wait here.”

“Get out.”

Huo Zhiyuan’s voice was cold.

Huo Li froze.

This wasn’t the first or second time he had done this.

Usually, as long as he thickened his skin, Huo Zhiyuan wouldn’t truly get angry.

What was going on today?

“Didn’t you hear me?”

“Get out.”

Huo Zhiyuan’s expression became increasingly stern.

“I’m going, I’m going.”

Seeing that Huo Zhiyuan truly seemed about to lose her temper, Huo Li didn’t dare stay any longer.

Zhao Jingyu stood quietly to the side.

After Huo Li left, she continued reporting.

“Miss Zhang and Miss Qian’s work is progressing smoothly. They’re also working very hard. Over the past few days, they’ve gradually sorted out the Xuhui District channels. I believe it won’t take long before they can fully take over.”

Huo Zhiyuan nodded.

“That’s good. Keep an eye on them. If any problems arise, report directly to me.”

“I understand.”

“Also, Tian Ya has requested to meet you several times. What do you think?”

Zhao Jingyu asked.

After thinking for a moment, Huo Zhiyuan said, “Tomorrow. Schedule it for tomorrow. I’ll meet them then. The location can be the company.”

Once Zhao Jingyu finished reporting everything, Huo Zhiyuan said, “Go call Huo Li in.”

When Huo Li walked back in, Huo Zhiyuan’s face still showed no expression.

His smile was a little forced.

“Second Sister, did something upset you? Tell Big Brother. Big Brother will definitely help you handle it.”

Seeing his eager older-brother act, Huo Zhiyuan’s eyes revealed a trace of mockery.

“Call me President Huo in the company.”

She said only this calmly.

At this point, Huo Li finally sensed that something was wrong with Huo Zhiyuan.

But he couldn’t figure out what, so he could only temporarily set it aside and get to the matter at hand.

“Well, President Huo, it’s about the distributor issue.”

“I heard the company handed over all of Xuhui District in Shanghai to two young girls. Is there some mistake?”

Huo Li smiled as he spoke, his expression calm, as though this were only a minor matter.

Huo Zhiyuan replied, “There’s no mistake.”

“The Xuhui District distributorship has been handed over to someone else.”

“You should notify your side as well. From now on, don’t interfere in Xuhui District.”

“But that’s my—”

Huo Li immediately grew anxious.

This was taking food directly from his mouth.

“But what?”

“This is the company’s decision.”

“You disagree?”

Huo Zhiyuan glanced at him coldly.

Huo Li was startled by her gaze.

He knew Huo Zhiyuan had no affection for their family, even some resentment, but he had never seen her look at him with such cold eyes.

He quickly said, “I agree, I agree.”

“Since it’s the company’s decision, I’ll definitely support it.”

“We’re family, after all.”

After saying that, he didn’t even know how to continue.

In truth, he had always been somewhat afraid of this second sister.

That fear came from the fact that his comfortable life had all been given to him by Huo Zhiyuan.

“If there’s nothing else, leave,” Huo Zhiyuan said.

Huo Li had just stood up when he suddenly added, “By the way, are you free this weekend? Mom and Dad miss you. Come home for a meal.”

He wanted to use their parents to play the emotional card.

Although there wasn’t much real emotion in that card, it had at least worked somewhat in the past.

Huo Zhiyuan’s eyes became even more mocking.

“No time. I’m busy with work.”

“Oh, and there’s one more thing I almost forgot.”

“Huo Jiaxiong doesn’t need to come back for now. Let him finish his PhD in America first.”

The moment she said this, Huo Li could no longer remain calm.

“Second Sister, didn’t we already agree? Jiaxiong would come back after finishing his master’s degree to help you.”

“He’s about to graduate soon. Why are you suddenly changing your mind?”

After saying that, Huo Li seemed to realize something was off and quickly tried to remedy it.

“Besides, Jiaxiong wants to come back to work too.”

“Mom and Dad miss him as well. They were talking about him just yesterday.”

“If they miss him, send them to America too.”

“What? After all these years, you still can’t afford plane tickets?”

“If you don’t have the money, I can advance some for you.”

At this moment, Huo Li finally confirmed it.

The second sister before him had truly changed.

Or perhaps…

She had always been like this.

It was just that she had never shown it so clearly before.
