The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.
Chapter 242: Harsh First, Tolerant Later
Eh?
The two men were dumbfounded on the spot, and at the same time turned their curious gazes to Huo Jiuzhou.
What kind of new hairstyle is this? She just fiddled with it a few times and got a new look?
Huo Jiuzhou curled the corners of his lips and smiled.
This woman has so many little tricks.
With his eyes lowered, he continued to review the documents at hand, choosing to ignore them in order to dispel the depression in his body.
Lest he always want to rush over, press this woman down, and make love with her...
The end of the month and the end of the year are usually the busiest times for every company, especially the Huo Group, a behemoth like entity.
There are nearly 10,000 employees in total and countless partners. Each person brings a document or contract, which is enough to keep these key figures busy all day long.
Shi Rong waved away Miao Man and others behind him, and imitated the way he did before, making hand-ground coffee for Huo Jiuzhou, adjusting it to his favorite flavor, and placed it next to him.
He also did not forget to be tactful and sent a cup to Xing and Song.
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
After drinking his coffee, Huo Jiuzhou handed a stack of original documents on the questions that Shi Rong was good at to her.
The woman took a quick look and then used the black gel pen in her hand to circle and outline in great detail.
"You, go call the general manager."
Halfway through reading, Shi Rong raised the tip of his pen and pointed at Huo Xun who was standing behind Huo Jiuzhou.
The latter nodded and bowed his head respectfully.
"Okay, ma'am."
It was 15 minutes later that Huo Yiyan was invited by Shi Rong and walked into the president's office.
"What's the matter? My eldest lady."
If Nian Shiheng hadn't been here, Huo Yiyan would rarely come to Huo Jiuzhou's office.
If nothing else, she had nothing to say to this eldest brother. If she said a few more words, they would start arguing to the point of being irreconcilable.
Shi Rong was speechless and didn't mind her disgusting way of addressing herself. She just stood in front of Huo Jiuzhou's desk and waved at her.
"You come."
Huo Yiyan walked over reluctantly, thinking that Shi Rong was asking her to help Huo Jiuzhou with something, but she didn't expect that as soon as she approached.
Shi Rong picked up a document that she was responsible for reviewing and reviewing, turned to the problematic part, placed it in front of her, and imitated her tone.
"My dear Miss, let me ask you, why are you exchanging two large plots of land belonging to the Huo Group for a 30-story commercial building from the Qingcheng Fengnan Group?"
Huo Yiyan was stunned by her question. Her almond-shaped eyes followed Shi Rong's finger and it took her a long time to react before she realized it belatedly.
"Because it makes sense. I asked you this question before, and that's what you taught me."
???
Shi Rong was so angry that he almost laughed.
"Hahaha...Huo Yiyan."
Shi Rong rubbed his painful brows with his fingertips, and his head hurt from anger.
"I remember when you asked me this question, I sent you a very detailed text message on WeChat, right?"
Huo Yiyan nodded honestly.
"Yup!"
Shi Rong pointed at the phone in her palm.
"Now look again and see what I told you."
Huo Yiyan was full of suspicion. She followed her instructions, opened WeChat, found the chat history interface with Shi Rong, and read it again from beginning to end.
He coughed awkwardly several times and smiled guiltily at her.
"Sorry... I mistook the half you said for two plots of land."
"Pfft..."
Xing and Song couldn't help but cover their mouths, lower their heads and laugh quietly.
Huo Jiuzhou also smiled, his smile was playful and casual.
Shi Rong was completely speechless.
"Then you are quite awesome..."
"Hahaha!"
Huo Yiyan was amused by her silence, and her laughter was crisp and pleasant to the ears.
Her eyes moved and she glanced at the other documents beside Shi Rong that she had not had time to deal with. She knew what kind of work Huo Jiuzhou had assigned to her.
"But with so many problematic documents, how do you know this is the one I signed? There aren't any paper clips made by your Ying'an Group here as markings."
After hearing this, Shi Rong's eyelids fluttered.
"Do I need to know? Besides you, who else can write such beautiful cursive calligraphy? Huo Yiyan, you don't think I'm stupid, do you?"
"Hahahaha!"
"Hahahaha!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the three men and one woman burst into laughter, and even Miao Man, Lan Chuan and others followed suit and laughed out loud.
It is rare that Huo Jiuzhou and Huo Yiyan can be in the same room and have such a harmonious and cheerful situation.
This is equivalent to invisibly easing the brother and sister's daily tense and distant relationship.
"Besides, your eldest brother sits upstairs every day. If you have any questions, can't you come and ask him? Why do you always ask me? Is climbing stairs tiring?"
When Shi Rong sent Huo Yiyan out, he went with her to the outer balcony on the top floor to get some fresh air.
While admiring the vast scenery in front of her, Huo Yiyan arrogantly rejected her proposal as usual.
"I don't want to! I have nothing to say to him!"
Tsk!
Shi Rong glared at him, looking unhappy.
"Do you two have a grudge?"
Huo Yiyan turned around and faced the exquisite little woman in front of her, nodding as a matter of course.
"Yeah, it's because he never gave in to me since we were little, and he always used his status as the eldest brother to pressure me. It's my bad luck to have such a cold-blooded and heartless eldest brother like him!"
Shi Rong curled the corners of his lips slightly, amused by her sarcastic remarks.
"Yi Yan, because he's the eldest brother in the family, he can't be lenient with you on many things, so he can only choose an effective way. It may seem cruel, but in his heart, he has made enough plans for you."
There are some things that Huo Yiyan can understand even if Shi Rong doesn't say them, but...
"Since you know that everything he does is for us, what about you? Similarly, everything he does is for you. Why are you still unwilling to accept him again?"
I knew she would ask this, Shi Rong smiled.
"This is the point I want to tell you. Between family and love, he always shows two different sides. To you, he is always conscientious and tolerant; to me, he may be conscientious, but he is always harsh at first and tolerant later."
Shi Rong placed his hands on the railing of the outer balcony and clasped his fingers together.
"In the past, I often envied Huo Wanwan because she could gain Huo Jiuzhou's unconditional trust and favor. I even wanted to replace her and become Huo Jiuzhou's sister. So, if even I have such thoughts, then tell me, is he good to you?"
Huo Yiyan understood what Shi Rong wanted to express, but she was also confused.
"Was he really that bad to you in the past?"
Shi Rong laughed again.
"I wouldn't say he's bad, but he's not great either. Before I went to South China Thorn Mountain, I could only sense his indifference towards me. After returning from South China Thorn Mountain, it became even worse. There were good times too, but maybe I just haven't noticed yet?"
