The little girl took care of the cub and reluctantly turned around to look at Huo Tindong. "Is it done now?"

The man nodded slightly. "Sure."

Ye Jinxin was truly tired. He was just a child, and after experiencing Huo Tindong's deception and intimidation during the day and being scared awake at night by a person's fear, he couldn't take it anymore.

Ye Zichen laid down on the bed weakly with squinted eyes.

"Take off your shoes."

"Alright." With her eyes closed, the little girl vaguely replied. Then, she swung her leg, throwing her pink slippers under the bed.

Huo Tindong frowned. Seeing that she couldn't even open her eyes, he suppressed the anger in his heart.

Forget it, he had bullied her quite a bit today.

It was more than enough.

Then he bent down and picked up the two little clogs and put them on the shoe cabinet under the bed. He arranged them neatly.

There was no helping it, this was Virgo's strong desire for control.

Everything had to be neat.

He picked the child up from the bed, put him under the covers, and tucked him into the quilt.

He got up, went around the bed, lifted the blanket and went to sleep.

He stood up and was about to turn on the bedside lamp when he suddenly remembered that the girl was sleeping with him. Would the lights wake her?

As he thought of this, he groped around in the dark to take a look. Only then did he discover that the child was hugging his arm, sleeping soundly.

The thing that Huo Tinton hated the most was having someone else touch him while he was sleeping. It would make him feel very dangerous and insecure. This kind of suspicion was also developed through years of commercial plotting.

He wanted to pull his hand away, but just as he moved, Ye Jin's heart subconsciously groaned and tightened his grip.

The man leaned forward and used his other hand to straighten her shoulder, trying to get her to let go.

The child opened his mouth and talked in his sleep, and Huo Tindong leaned over to listen. He heard the little girl call out, "Mother."

He felt his heart ache. Only the heavens knew where this affection came from.

He sighed and lay back down on the bed.

Forget it. If you want to hug me, then hug me. At most, I won't sleep tonight.

As he thought of this, he moved closer to the little girl, allowing her to hug his arm more comfortably.

He didn't think that he would fall asleep, but after a while, he fell into a deep slumber.

The habit that he had formed over the years had been broken by a child.

What a miracle.

In the morning, Huo Tindong went out.

He had just acquired the Ye Group, so it was a new position. Whether it was the old or new employees, they were all waiting to see how he, the new CEO, would turn the tide and save the declining Ye Real Estate.

Among them, there weren't many who truly wanted to see him do something.

Most of it was just a joke.

After all, he was the Emperor who had plotted to usurp the throne, and he was unpopular.

Before he even entered the company, he saw his assistant, Wang Xiangnan, hurrying past.

"What's wrong?"

Huo Ting locked the car with a clatter. "What?" Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows in annoyance as he looked at the person in front of him who was panting heavily. "What does it look like to be in such a hurry at the company's entrance?"

"Boss, you don't know." Wang Xiangnan wasn't very old, but his attainments in financial construction were very high, so he was highly valued by Huo Tindong. Because he was similar in age to Huo Tindong, he was young and energetic, unlike the other employees in the company who were afraid of him.

As for the purchase of the Ye Group, he had also provided some advice and help in this matter.

Wang Xiangnan moved closer to Huo Tindong and spoke in a low and flustered voice, "All the older members of the Ye Group collectively protested that we had squeezed their wages after purchasing the company."

"Hmph." "Squeeze?"

In order to pacify the people, not only did he increase the salary and bonus of the Ye Clan's employees by two points.

"Yeah, I don't know where they heard about the salaries of the employees of the headquarters of our company. Our monthly income is a bit higher than theirs. When they heard about this, some of the staff expressed that it was unfair and even said that they didn't want to do it. "

"How did they know about the financial details of the headquarters?"

Wang Xiangnan smacked his lips, "I have to suspect that there's either a spy or a traitor within our company."

Huo Tindong pursed his lips and suddenly asked, "Where is Ye Rongsheng now?"

Ye Rongsheng was Ye Zhenyun's second brother and also the Ye Family's second young master. After the Ye Family's business went bankrupt, many of the Ye Family's majority withdrew their shares. Only Ye Rongsheng still held 7% of the Ye Family's stock in his hands. 7% wasn't much, but it was enough for him to have a place in this company.

Wang Xiangnan furrowed his brows. "You suspect that it's him?"

Huo Tinton was noncommittal.

"It shouldn't be." Wang Xiangnan shook his head, "He seems rather honest. When he purchased the company, he gave us a lot of convenience. Furthermore, the welfare benefits we gave him is definitely enough. He has no reason to agitate others, right?"

"A dog that doesn't know how to bark. A dog that bites people is the best." With that, he looked at Wang Xiangnan and said, "No matter how much money you give him, you must not forget that his surname is Ye."

Even if the Ye Clan was bought, there would still be people who would be unconvinced, especially the Ye Clan. They had changed from master to servant, and even if this servant earned more money than the master, his status and position were no longer the same.

Wang Xiangnan nodded, as if he had thought it was simple.

"Then what do we do now? Even if the employees of the Ye Clan go on a mass strike and they want to punish them, they will not punish them!"

Huo Tindong was also silent. As the saying went, each time there would be a king and an official. Every time there would be a great change, there would always be someone who turned the tables on him. But the company could not stop running, which was why he chose to mitigate.

After a moment of silence, Huo Tindong inserted his left hand into the pocket of his suit pants and tossed the car keys to Wang Xiangnan. "Tell Cheng Yiran to find me a new date. I want to meet this second young master of the Ye family."

He wanted to see, even his big brother fell, just what kind of waves did his second brother want to create?

After a busy day, they finally managed to appease the strike employees. By the time Huo Tindong left the office, it was already late at night.

While driving, Zhou Hao asked, "Boss Huo, you must be tired."

Tired? Looking out the window at the rapidly retreating traffic.

Huo Tindong didn't understand either.

This was because this was how they had been through all these years.

Since they had never seen any heaven, they felt that living in hell was fine.

From generation to generation, there were many sons and daughters of the Huo Family. He had four sisters. He was the eldest son of the Huo Family and the only son of the Huo Family.

Many people believed that the young masters of the rich and powerful families must be popinjays. They had no idea that the higher their status, the less control they had over themselves.

When he was six years old, his grandfather, Huo Lianshan, had pointed at his head and said, "You are different from others."

He couldn't tell what was different.

It might just be something that others could play with, but he couldn't. What others didn't want to do, he had to do.

When he was seven or eight years old, he had already displayed astonishing talent when he was doing business with his father. His grandfather was also willing to bring along such a proud grandson to make a public appearance, so at that time, there was a rumor that the youngest son of the Huo family, merely seven years old, was already doing business like a fish in water.

God knows, at that time, he was just a child. Even if he was intelligent earlier, he still wouldn't have been as exaggerated as the outside world made him out to be.

However, sometimes the rumors were just that strange. From one to ten to ten, from ten to a hundred, the rumors became true.

Since it's true, you have to do something about it.

What did it mean to wear a crown? It meant to bear the weight of the crown. Only now did he realize what the taste was.
