Ling Zhao glanced at him. The man was standing beside her, glancing down at the golden ornaments.

"You like gold?"

It seems like I know it for the first time.

Ling Zhao slowly turned the ring on his ring finger.

Although her first piece of jewelry was the wedding ring that marked her entire life, made of gold, this did not affect her preference for gold.

Maybe, I just like this golden, dazzling light.

She looked at the celebrity endorsement posters on the shelf opposite with a calm look that hid her envy.

Mrs. Huo always despised her for being useless, but once upon a time, she was someone who could shine.

Huo Yixiu picked out a sunflower-shaped gold pendant, weighed it in his hand, and accurately stated the weight of the gold.

The salesgirl couldn't see the man's face, but was surprised that he had such an accurate grasp of the weight: "Sir, you are very accurate, but to be exact, it is 5.20 grams, which means 520."

A smile flashed across the man's eyes.

He grew up in a pile of gold. When his great grandfather was still alive, he had handfuls of gold beans to play with. Although he did not inherit his grandfather's craft, he still remembered the craft.

Huo Yixiu glanced at the chain and looked at Ling Zhao: "Is this it?"

Ling Zhao didn't say that he liked it, nor did he say that he didn't like it. The man walked behind her and put it on her with his own hands, while slowly saying: "Some people have bad taste, it's too vulgar, if it doesn't look good on you, don't let him send it home."

"I, Huo Yixiu, don't lack that little money. I can still afford to give my wife a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry to play with."

After fastening the clasp, he adjusted the gold pendant so that it was just above her chest line.

A golden sunflower in full bloom.

He looked at her peaceful face, his hand sliding down her shoulder, his thumb sliding over her wrist bone.

Even though she was not allowed to go out, Master Qin was still worried and worked hard with his hoe. He sent express deliveries to Ziqing Garden every day and she signed for them in person.

A gold bracelet every day.

Huo Yixiu even knows what styles there are.

The man held Ling Zhao's hand, glanced at the counter again, took out a gold bracelet inlaid with coral, and continued to put it on slowly.

"You have a thin wrist, and the gold bracelet is too heavy to hold your hand. Red coral is the best match for your skin tone and goes with this sunflower necklace."

The thin gold bracelet was priced at 880,000 yuan, which was extremely expensive. Only wealthy people like Huo Yixiu would buy it without blinking an eye.

The salesgirl smiled very gently, praising the man for his good taste in picking out the store's only unique item at once, saying it was one of a kind. She also praised Ling Zhao for her beauty, saying that only a beauty like her was worthy of her.

Ling Zhao heard too much praise, smiled politely, and walked out holding Huo Yixiu's arm.

The man stared at her hands.

This was rare, she took the initiative to hold his arm, not at a banquet.

He smiled and said, "Can spending money make you more proactive?"

Ling Zhao glanced at him, nodded, and at the same time let go of his hand and gestured: [You are the sponsor. ]

Perhaps he himself did not realize that this was the first time he bought a gift for her personally.

He chose it himself, not through Fan Wenxin.

It's just that this gift was given too late, and the meaning of giving it was not good. Ling Zhao was calm and took the initiative towards him only for freedom.

……

The business community has a new evaluation of Huo Yixiu - cruel and ruthless.

In order to get rid of negative news, he is willing to give up his mother's interests. This is called not recognizing one's relatives and sacrificing one's own relatives for the sake of justice!

If you are cruel to your own mother, if this is not called cruelty, then what is it called?

Madam Xu asked Ling Zhao to come out for tea and opera again. This time, it wasn't just Madam Xu, all the ladies in her circle came.

Ling Zhao even saw a few familiar faces, whom he had seen before in Mrs. Min's circle.

Obviously, with the fall of the Min family, there have been new changes in the circles of famous families, and Mrs. Xu's circle has expanded again.

Ling Zhao sat next to Madam Xu, while the other wives sat at other tables.

The theater brought up good tea and snacks, and Mrs. Xu was cracking walnuts with a small hammer.

She swung the small hammer and tapped it gently, and the round walnut cracked into several pieces. She picked out the large pieces of meat to eat.

She said she likes to eat it this way, and she doesn’t like to eat it the way others peel it.

So during the actors' wonderful performances, a clicking sound could occasionally be heard.

Mrs. Xu said: "Mr. Huo is not cruel and ruthless, he is free to do what he wants. His mother thinks that being a school leader means she has status and position. In this way, the Huo family can be considered a scholarly family, not ordinary people."

"My husband, Mrs. Xu, said that she was stupid and was making things worse!" Mrs. Xu waved the small hammer and knocked down another walnut. Ling Zhao took a small half and dug out the flesh from the shell with his fingernails.

She has no image, but Mrs. Xu doesn't care about her image.

So they can play together.

Mrs. Xu put down the hammer, patted her hands, and handed her a small tool that looked like an ear pick: "My old man said that his nails are not clean. Use this to pick them out."

She picked up another half of a walnut and continued, "Nowadays, people outside always say that classes are rigid and it is difficult for ordinary people to cross classes. The top leaders value Mr. Huo. In addition to his talent and his harmonious family, the more important point is that he conveys a message to the outside world: classes are not rigid."

"The outside world needs such role models to give people hope."

"Teacher Du is boasting about his family background, so Mr. Huo has lost his value in the eyes of the higher-ups... Not only has he lost his value, but he will also be labeled as a profiteer. How will the higher-ups view him in the future?"

Ling Zhao was like a little squirrel, Mrs. Xu said, and she nodded and continued eating.

"...In my opinion, how could what Teacher Du did be her own effort to increase her worth? Didn't she get this opportunity because of the benefits brought by Mr. Huo? If she wasn't greedy, how could she be set up by the Min family couple?"

"Boss Huo did a good job. It was the right thing to do. It completely stopped Mr. Du's desire to be an official. He can now wait for retirement peacefully. Boss Huo has also been spared a lot of trouble."

Ling Zhao smiled, there are still people who understand.

These upper-class people were all very smart, and they only needed to take a glance to know how to solve some small matters. It was far from as bad as Mother Huo saw.

Obviously, Huo Yixiu's approach has won back the hearts of the top leaders, and Junhai Technology's future development will be able to reach a higher level.

Ling Zhao bent her hands into a semicircle and swept all the shells on the table into the trash can. The table was much cleaner, and she clapped her hands to flick away the crumbs. Madam Xu handed her a tissue to wipe it.

"Although you can't speak, you are clearer than Teacher Du. As Mr. Huo's family member, Mr. Huo can focus on his career. In the Huo family, he is in charge of external affairs, and you are in charge of internal affairs. The Huo family will be rich in the future."

Mrs. Xu cracked walnuts again, and Ling Zhao handed her a cup of tea to moisten her throat, and gestured to indicate that eating walnuts dry would cause sore throat.

Mrs. Xu understood half of it and said with a smile, "Now I can understand sign language too. I tell you, now I watch the news by watching the sign language host in the corner. Hey, I didn't notice it before, but now I think it's really interesting!"

Ling Zhao pursed his lips and smiled.

Mrs. Xu is actually a very nice person, straightforward, and not arrogant. She is easier to get along with than many other noble ladies.

Those women are proud of their status and put on airs. They either pretend to be elegant or aloof, and they are very dark inside.

Mrs. Xu also took her into social circles and introduced her to ladies from various circles. Unlike Mrs. Min, she just treated her as a servant who served tea and water.

"...Teacher Du just wanted to flatter herself and didn't want us to look down on her, but who knew it would backfire. I asked her out to play cards, but she refused." Several ladies in the back row of seats could be heard murmuring.
