Chapter 55: Is It Okay to Be Seen?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

What was so scary about Huo Jiuxiao?

Putting aside the fact that he could fight and was ruthless, he could see through your weakness at a glance even though you could never step on his bottom line. He was capable and ruthless, and he was temperamental. Many people had tried to plot revenge, but all of them ended up miserably.

If he was the one leading the company, of course, he would be able to advance by leaps and bounds. However, he had no interest in anything, let alone the desire for money and power. He had a bored expression on his face at all times, and he gave off a sense of oppression wherever he went.

At this moment, the few employees who had gone to Europe with him were trembling in front of Huo Jiuxiao.

He was clearly sitting calmly on the sofa, but the few of them felt as if their necks were about to be broken. It was suffocating.

“Breathe.” Huo Jiuxiao reminded them.

“Master Xiao, we don’t know anything. The day before yesterday, we went to discuss business with President Lu. Everything went smoothly. After it was over, President Lu asked us to return first. He still wanted to rest for two days. We really didn’t expect him to…” One of them was really tortured and explained nervously, “We brought the contract back. If you don’t believe me, you can look it up.”

Huo Jiuxiao rested his elbows on his knees and glanced at them.

[Will I really not die here?] [Please save me, I’m really scared.]

[Why am I so unlucky…]

Finally, he looked at Song Huaishu and pressed his forehead in frustration. “It’s too noisy. Take them away.”

When they heard that they could leave, they heaved a sigh of relief. They did not need Song Huaishu to escort them and left quickly.

“I don’t want to deal with such trivial matters. Let the people in the finance department handle it properly.” Huo Jiuxiao then instructed Song Huaishu, “I want the results of the audit tomorrow morning.”

“Then, Master Xiao, are you still going home tonight?”

Huo Jiuxiao was so annoyed that he just wanted to find a quiet place to cover his ears and sleep.

“I don’t want to move.”

Song Huaishu still wanted to say something, but seeing that his Master Xiao was ignoring him, he quickly went out to do something. However, halfway through, he thought of something and finally called Lin Wanli.

“Madam, are you free now?”

Actually, Lin Wanli was not free, but when she thought about Huo Jiuxiao’s matter, she put down her busy work and drove to the address Song Huaishu had sent her.

When Song Huaishu saw Lin Wanli at the entrance of the building, he went up to her and explained, “Actually, I don’t want to disturb Madam, but Master Xiao is… annoyed.”

“Bring me up.” Lin Wanli said calmly.

Song Huaishu sent Lin Wanli to Huo Jiuxiao’s office and pushed the door open for her.

Lin Wanli quietly entered the dark space and saw a man lying on the sofa with his hands crossed and his eyes covered.

Huo Jiuxiao felt the movement and sat up. He wanted to throw a tantrum, but when he saw that it was Lin Wanli, he took a deep breath and said, “Song

Huaishu, that big blabbermouth.”

Lin Wan turned the small lamp on the desk and returned to Huo Jiuxiao’s side. After sitting down on the sofa, she asked, “Are you feeling better?”

It seemed that she knew that she still had the effects on him.

Huo Jiuxiao took advantage of the situation and lay on Lin Wanli’s legs. “My head hurts.’

Lin Wanli adjusted her sitting posture and looked at him as she asked, “You don’t want to deal with things, and you don’t want to face trouble, right?” Huo Jiuxiao was speechless.

“Then do you want me to accompany you to deal with it, or do you want me to just accompany you and you deal with it later? The difference between these two options was that if I accompanied you, I could think of a way. If you choose to deal with it later, you will still be annoyed.”

As smart as she was, she gave two choices. It reduced his resistance to trouble by half.

Huo Jiuxiao was silent for a moment before he finally chose to speak. “That person is actually very bad. He was a gambler and had a lot of women. If it wasn’t for my mother’s last wishes…”

He did not want to care at all.

Over the years, he had managed a little. That person had restrained himself, but from time to time, he would still be uncontrollable.

Lin Wanli knew who he was talking about.

“Since it’s Mom’s last wish, we have to help her fulfill it. Since you can’t let go, why don’t we reconcile? However, if you want to change someone, it’s almost impossible, so you have to let go of this matter. Under such circumstances, the company definitely needed a more robust management system. It should not affect the overall situation because of one person. It was necessary to set up more emergency plans. Secondly, you can bind uncle’s shares with the shareholders because you are the reason for his confidence. But what if it is directly linked to his shares?”

“If you can’t change something, it’s a waste of time to give it another second. Therefore, we only need to think about those things that we can control. If you don’t deal with the problems in front of you, the problems will only pile up.”

Lin Wanli’s words were soft and gentle, like a stream of clear spring water that moistened one’s heart.

Huo Jiuxiao’s heart gradually calmed down.

After a few minutes, Huo Jiuxiao sat up from the sofa and shouted, “Song

Huaishu.”

“Master Xiao…” Song Huaishu pushed open the door and entered.

“Contact the people in the Europe branch to help find someone. Inform them to hold a shareholders’ meeting tomorrow morning. Leave the remaining mess to the Vice President to handle. The other two Vice Presidents will help supervise and submit the documents if they can’t make up their minds.”

Song Huaishu was stunned when he heard this.

If he had encountered such a thing in the past, Master Xiao would have disappeared for three days and three nights. If he could, he would not care. Even if he was forced to step in, he would be extremely impatient.

But today? [Oh my god, Madam has a way.]

“Still not leaving?”

“I’ll do it right away, right away.” Song Huaishu tactfully left the office.

The room fell silent again, and Huo Jiuxiao’s mood improved slightly. He looked at Lin Wanli and asked, “Are you busy tomorrow?”

“I’m going to the airport to send someone off in the morning.” Lin Wanli replied,” Also, I miss our daughter a little.”

“Let’s go.” Huo Jiuxiao held Lin Wanli’s hand.

This was not his ottice, so he did not want to touch any ot the things inside, much less let Lin Wanli touch them. When the two of them took the elevator, many employees in the company saw them. Huo Jiuxiao did not move at all, but he held Lin Wanli with one hand and made her bury her face in front of his chest.

When the employees saw Huo Jiuxiao, they only dared to squeeze into the corner. Therefore, the atmosphere in the elevator was very strange. An aura of fear and gossip contradicted each other. After everyone walked out of the elevator, the two of them left quickly. Only then did the gossiping voices of the crowd come from behind. “Oh my god! What did I see?” “Am I blind? I actually saw Master Xiao bring a woman here?” “That back view, one look and you can tell that she’s a great beauty.”

“A man who has always been abstinent is suddenly showing affection to a woman. What kind of novel plot is this! Moreover, this girl was also a warrior. Wasn’t she afraid of being thrown into the sewers?

While waiting for the bus, Lin Wanli heard a few words.

So, she poked Huo Jiuxiao’s chest while she was in his arms.. When he lowered his head and could see her lips, she asked, “Is it okay to be seen?”
