The plot collapsed after everyone thought it was rotten

Huo Chuxiao didn't have his keen intuition, and immediately relaxed after the group of enthusiastic and unfamiliar fans disappeared.

As a result, he entered the restaurant, and the manager on duty said, "Mr. Huo, congratulations on your award."

Huo Chuxiao: "?"

Did the news spread too fast?

Ji Zongming saw that he was slightly unwell, so he sent the manager away.

Huo Chuxiao breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "Thank you..."

Ji Zongming: "You dare to call me uncle again. Believe it or not, I will announce to everyone in the restaurant that you have won the award, and then ask two violinists to accompany you on the spot to celebrate?"

Huo Chuxiao immediately made a small face, and cursed: This person is so wicked.

After sitting down, the two didn't chat for a few words, Ji Zongming brought the topic to Huo's recent turmoil.

"I heard that the Huo Corporation has had a lot of internal struggles recently," he looked at Huo Chuxiao's expression, "you probably didn't get involved in it, did you?"

After all, he and Huo Chuxiao are husband and wife at least in name, if Huo's infighting affects Huo Chuxiao, then he will definitely be affected.Now is the critical period for the company, Ji Zongming needs to be fully prepared, and control all possible negative news within the scope of his control.

So he asked, just for the sake of the company, hmm.Absolutely no personal emotion whatsoever, eh.It's definitely not about worrying about this young master who doesn't know anything about company management.

Huo Chuxiao ate the appetizer fruit plate sent by the manager on behalf of the restaurant, and said calmly: "I don't think I'm qualified to get involved."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you still remember the day when you went to my ancestral house for dinner? It was that night, my dear father told me that after I married you, strictly speaking, I was no longer part of the Huo family, so the latest will erased The one that belongs to me. In other words, it was divided among my brothers and sisters."

Ji Zongming almost wanted to laugh.

Even if he is an illegitimate child who can't stand on the stage in Ji's family, at least Ji's family has never killed him like this.Even after this commercial marriage, Ji Shen probably felt guilty and wanted to get more shares in the family business for him.It's just that Ji Zongming planned to start his own business early in the morning, but he refused firmly.

To this day, he still has an inheritance right to all the properties of the Ji family.

And Huo's is the one who really cracked the abacus. After using all the value of Huo Chuxiao, he was able to let him leave the house with a firm heart.

"What about the shares? There must be."

Huo Chuxiao slightly raised his eyebrows and made an indifferent expression, "Yes, 30 shares."

"How much!?" Ji Zongming frowned deeply, "30 shares, Huo's 30? What's the percentage?"

"1.3%, to be precise, 1.2917%." Huo Chuxiao seemed to be talking about other people's affairs, and he cut the steak on the plate into small pieces without haste.

Ji Zongming finally felt absurd, and he laughed angrily: "How many shares does your brother own?"

"10%. At least it was this amount before the will was amended."

Ji Zongming was silent for a while, and finally digested this fact.

"The contract you brought out from home that day, I asked you, but you refused to tell me, is this it?"

"Yes." Huo Chuxiao took a sip from his wine glass and said relaxedly, "There's nothing to say, I didn't want to have anything to do with that family at first. With this share, I want to sell it at a high position and give me more pension Make some money."

Ji Zongming thought, in that wolf den, Huo Chuxiao was more than one-tenth of Huo Chuhong's, perhaps not as good as one-hundredth in their eyes.

It's okay to leave.

Huo Chuxiao was obviously also firm in this choice, especially when he heard Ji Zongming talk about the Huo family's internal struggles, he felt that he was not so interested in participating in it, and he was quite happy to leave the house without leaving the house.

And some people are obviously not so lucky.

Huo Chuhong rarely has a record of leaving work early, but today he really can't wait to go back.

"Mr. Yu, I'm really sorry, I will work overtime tomorrow to make up for the rest of today's work."

Yu Zhen saw that he couldn't hide his anxiety, and combined with the rumors about the Huo Corporation these days, he could only sigh: "Chuhong, recently the company needs all employees to go all out. Tomorrow, who Do you know how many new tasks there will be? You look like this, do you think I can let you deal with the backlog of work alone?"

Huo Chuhong vowed: "Mr. Yu, you should be clear about my working ability."

Yu Zhen really knew that when he and Huo Chuhong had a conversation at the wedding, the two chatted very speculatively. In addition, Huo Chuhong was born in a famous school, and he complained vaguely to himself that he was always unable to expand in the family company. With fists and kicks, Yu Zhen started to dig people over.

At first, Huo Chuhong was really not used to the rhythm of their young company, so Yu Zhen specially assigned him an old employee who started a business with them, and taught him almost every detail.

Huo Chuhong is also really clever, quick-witted, good at drawing inferences from one example and often brings the bold vitality of young people, and he has never made mistakes when working as his assistant.

Yu Zhen admired him. At first, he was only attracted by his appearance. Huo Chuhong always exuded an intriguing charm in his gestures. After getting along for a long time, his personality also got along very well. Yu Zhen successfully established a thriving business The CFO of the Xinrui company also did not hesitate to teach him.

He even wanted to train Huo Chuhong as his right-hand man, but this time the Huo family incident suddenly woke him up.

Huo Chuhong, as a candidate for the successor of a large enterprise with absolute advantages, will leave everything in front of him one day sooner or later and go back to be his young director with peace of mind.

Yu Zhen thought, maybe now is an opportunity to gradually withdraw the importance of Huo Chuhong.

So he waved his hand, "Forget it, you can go through the process of asking for leave, and you don't have to worry about the company. I will try my best to assign your work to other people in the department. Recently, the company just recruited a group of new people."

Huo Chuhong bit his lip, but didn't hesitate any longer, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu."

After that, he hurried back to the Huo family's ancestral house.

This time when he came home, he didn't tell the whole family that he was back like a baby like in the past, but silently waited for the nanny to come to open the door, and silently changed his windbreaker jacket.

The house was uncomfortably quiet.

"Yo, look who's back."

Huo Chuhong raised his head when he heard the words, and saw his sister-in-law holding a glass of wine gracefully, leaning against the entrance and looking at him with a half-smile.

"Sister-in-law." Huo Chuhong forced a smile on his face.

Almost the whole family of my sister-in-law came back from abroad this time, including his eldest cousin, Huo Chuming, whom he didn't see several times a year.

My sister-in-law is not married, because she is old, and she is more than ten years behind her peers. Huo Chuming is her brother's only son, but he is not a few years younger than her. No head but no end.

The last time, Huo Chuhong heard that this big cousin had just become the youngest department head in a Fortune [-] company, with a promising future.So he never imagined that this person would return to the country and join the family business.

Originally in Huo Chuhong's plan, in their generation, the girls in the family had no interest in power, and lived a life of celebrities who checked in all over the world and showed off their lives to Weibo fans. There were not many boys, except for a few who were still Among the younger brothers who were obviously not successful in primary and junior high school, there were only two or three who were a threat to him.

Huo Chuxiao, his good brother, completely lost his competitiveness after being thrown out by the family to marry and then signed the contract.

The remaining one is Huo Chuming who is far away overseas.

The Huo family is already in his pocket, so he can safely and boldly go to other people's companies to experience life.

And now, everything is messed up.

Huo Chuhong looked at the little girl who was watching the show from the other side, and seemed to be able to see Huo Chuming's appearance from that face.

Damn, hasn't this person been abroad for ten years, and he usually doesn't come back once a year, and he has never been to the company, why did he suddenly get sexual and want to come here to stir up trouble!

Huo Yilei tilted her head, looked playfully at this rare young master of the Huo family with a cloudy face, and said with a smile: "Chuhong also has such a quiet time? Why, go home and see if your house is still there? Don't worry, let's Although this old house is in disrepair for a long time, there is still a place for you anyway, and it's not too small. After all, your brother's share is also counted on your head, right? "

Huo Chuhong didn't want to break his face with someone face to face, let alone the other party was his sister-in-law, so he had no choice but to respond with a smile.

"No, I just came back to see grandma. Didn't she say that she had chest tightness a few days ago?"

Sister-in-law snorted coldly, "It's fine if you come back a few days late, you can't die. Huo Chuhong, are you still pretending to be here with Sister-in-law? Don't worry, I'm not interested in getting involved in these crap things of yours. I was forcibly called back by the old man, but It's for Chu Ming. Oh, right~ You haven't seen your elder brother yet, he also heard that grandma is not in good health, so he came back from abroad, brought a lot of supplements, and is in the house. Don't tell me , the boys of your generation are sweeter than the other. Oh, except for that idiot Huo Chuxiao."

The sister-in-law smiled brightly, "That kid is just stupid, he can't learn all of you's sweet words and belly swords."

Huo Chuhong pursed his lips, noticing that there were still a few servants walking around busy cleaning, and glanced at the two of them from time to time, obviously thinking of watching the fun.He suppressed his anger and pretended to be indifferent to go upstairs.

When passing by my sister-in-law, I heard Huo Yilei whispering: "Chu Hong, guess what Chu Ming is going to do when he comes back this time?"

Huo Chuhong suddenly turned his head to look at her.

The little aunt took a sip of wine chicly, "Guess again, how many good-tempered brothers like Huo Chuxiao are there for you to rub?"

In late October, golden autumn.

C high school celebration.

Members of the teenage student union wore school uniforms and busily shuttled among the alumni, responsible for guiding everyone where their classes were.

Even among the successful people who are full of suits and leather shoes, Qi Lang is still eye-catching. He is dressed in casual clothes, deliberately dressed like a high school student, but he still can't hide his temperament.A few volunteer girls didn't dare to talk to him, so they finally pushed a boy out to help him lead the way until he reached the door of the classroom marked with the sign of "Class [-] of XX".

As soon as he entered the door, Qi Lang received a very warm welcome, especially the girls. After becoming an independent adult, their personalities are much more generous. Several female classmates who didn't even dare to contact him back then were all wearing exquisite suits and perfect makeup. , booing at him.

"Qi Lang, I told the old squad leader, if you don't come, then I won't stay with my sister, I'll leave now."

A certain female classmate yelled fiercely, causing a group of old classmates to boo her.

Qi Lang has always been comfortable with this kind of battle, so he casually joked and sat in his seat.

For the sake of nostalgia, these people chose their old seats in school. At a glance, there were still a few vacancies.

The old squad leader was still the same as before, standing up to maintain order: "Who are still missing?"

The vacant deskmate reported several names, and the old squad leader compared them in turn according to the roster, and confirmed that several of them had already been greeted and could not come back, and finally found that there seemed to be one name left...

"And Huo Chuxiao, who didn't come either."

Everyone immediately quieted down.Like the silence in the last group chat.

The person who spoke was Huo Chuxiao's tablemate back then, and since he didn't speak more than ten sentences with him, he was very unfamiliar, so he could only bite the bullet and say it.

Everyone here looked at each other and saw similar expressions on each other's faces.

Qi Lang's tablemate is Zhang Ji, and now he lowered his voice and said to him: "I probably won't be able to come... I wouldn't come if I had to, how fucking embarrassing..."

Others apparently thought the same.The old squad leader was in trouble because he couldn't get in touch with Huo Chuxiao, so the school informed him of his participation in the school celebration. He did have Huo Chuxiao's phone number, but... he glanced at the eyes of the people around him, how could he get out? ...

The girl who molested Qi Lang just now broke the silence with a sneer.

"Forget him, anyway, no one in our class knows him well."

"Who said, isn't Qi Lang very familiar?"

In an instant, at least half of the people looked at Qi Lang in unison.

The version that is widely circulated in the class is that Huo Chuxiao was extremely unpopular in the class back then, and because the nanny helped hold the parent-teacher meeting, was held in the corridor by his mother and slapped him, etc., it was almost a joke of the whole grade.On the other hand, Qi Lang is kind, but after chatting with him a few polite words, he was glued on. This piece of dog skin plaster circled around Qi Lang all day long, tirelessly, and in the end he even licked his face and confessed to Qi Lang. He committed suicide and almost committed suicide by jumping from the building at home.

It sounds bad luck.

Some people even speculated that people like Huo Chuxiao might have grown into a pervert by now.

In order to do his duty, the old squad leader bit the bullet and called Huo Chuxiao.

As a result, a mobile phone rang in the corridor not far away.

The moment the phone was connected, the old squad leader felt that he heard two overlapping voices.

"Hey?"

He stared blankly at the door of the classroom.

I saw a tall, thin and handsome young man holding a mobile phone in one hand, looking straight at him, and said:

"Sorry, I've been delayed by something."

When Huo Chuxiao returned to school this time, the only person he wanted to see was his art teacher back then.So as soon as he arrived at the school, he went straight to the office of the deputy teacher of the year, and fortunately met his mentor.

Who would have guessed that the Dean of Academic Affairs was here, and he probably heard about him winning an award abroad, saying that he had already applied to the school to arrange an outstanding graduate status for him, taking a photo and writing a brief introduction, which could be regarded as publicity up.So he was dragged to take a picture in a daze, completely late.

In fact, he didn't want to walk in under the eyes of so many people at all.

But he wasn't alone in being uncomfortable.

The old squad leader hung up the phone hesitantly, and asked tentatively, "Huo, Huo Chuxiao?"

"It's me." He replied without emotion, and went to the seat reserved for him.

The deskmate hurriedly stood up to make way for him, and because he was so shocked, he even tripped over the table leg when he stood up.

He deliberately dressed fresh today. The white denim jacket was made with a creative pattern of paint splashes. He wore a clean white crew neck shirt inside. His lower body was sports pants and the most fashionable canvas shoes at the moment. He helped the student The silver knuckle ring was shining brightly, and it made a crisp sound when it was tapped on the back of the chair.

It looks like a college grass who is still in college and ran out of some college.

After he sat down, he realized that the class suddenly fell silent for some reason.

However, he had no interest in looking up, and he didn't care. He took out his mobile phone and started scrolling through the exhibition information.

The tablemate held back for a long time before tentatively saying, "Huo Chuxiao? You..."

Huo Chuxiao heard the sound and looked up at him.

The tablemate's throat tightened, and he said slowly, "How are you doing recently?"

Huo Chuxiao thought about it, and it was not too big or too small, just enough to be heard by the whole class: "It's not bad, at least no one bullies me on campus anymore."

In a word, half the class choked.

A few of them in suits and leather shoes even blushed faintly when they looked at the stately-sounding classmates.

Sitting obliquely behind him, in the last row, Qi Lang looked at him with great interest, and upon hearing this sentence, a smile appeared on his lips.

I have to say that the current Huo Chuxiao looks quite spicy, to his taste.

Huo Chuxiao's current appearance might be suitable for most of the class, but most of the people avoided him intentionally or unintentionally, not daring to look over him.

No one knows why the thin and inconspicuous little man turned into such an outstanding man.

After all the staff arrived, the class teacher who brought them back then also came back, stood on the podium like the previous class meeting, said some scene words, and began to praise the outstanding students.

"Qi Lang, I heard that you just came back from graduate school at Columbia University recently? Back then in school, you were still a man of the hour, and you could see little girls delivering letters to you all day long."

As he spoke, he called some of the most outgoing girls back then, jokingly asking if they were.

"Mr. Ma, I'm a married woman now!"

The homeroom teacher laughed even more happily when he heard this. He looked through the list again, and when he saw a certain name, his eyes paused.

"Huo Chuxiao..."

Huo Chuxiao didn't put down his phone, and raised his eyes to take a look.

Teacher Ma smiled and said, "Chuxiao is amazing now. I just won a big prize abroad, didn't I? The school even edited the introduction of outstanding graduates for you just now. Oh~ Chuxiao liked to go to the studio back then, and sure enough Interest is the best teacher."

Huo Chuxiao smiled faintly at him, but said nothing.

Others have a bit of a fryer tendency.

Qi Lang sat in the last seat, and could almost see the status of everyone in the class.Just discussing the question "Has Huo Chuxiao really become a painter?" He heard more than three voices.

Someone took out his mobile phone and searched for something, blurted out "Damn", and then looked at Huo Chuxiao, his eyes changed.

However, Huo Chuxiao didn't realize it at all, and even hung up the ladder, climbed over the wall, and interacted with Alyona on Twitter.

Alyona was born in a famous family in Russia, she has resources and contacts, and her own level is high. Basically, she holds a solo exhibition once a year.As a hot new star in the circle recently, he also liked and commented on the twitter that she promoted in the past to support the scene.

As for how strange the atmosphere around him was, it had nothing to do with him.

The subtle awkward atmosphere lasted until the evening dinner.

Everyone went to the large box on the second floor of an old restaurant near the school to eat, drink and have fun.

Huo Chuxiao and most of the classmates are extremely unfamiliar, and it can even be regarded as a festival.In fact, he has long since stopped paying attention to those exclusions at that time. After all, it was more difficult to live at home than school life.However, some people can't help but feel guilty, especially after knowing that he is now called a young talent and has become better than himself, even an apology seems unbearable.

Huo Chuxiao's calm attitude even aggravated this sense of shame.

So during the whole dinner, the most lively boys dared to persuade them to drink, but they didn't dare to persuade Huo Chuxiao to drink.Even when he saw that his wine glass was empty and offered him a refill, he had no confidence to ask, "Do you need it?"

Huo Chuxiao pushed the wine glass with his finger: "Thank you."

Only then do others dare to pour wine, but they also dare not pour Yiqiaoman, and order as much as they want.

Finally, someone took advantage of the alcohol and wanted to apologize to him for what happened. A sorry sentence made the young man in his twenties blushed and his neck thickened. However, Huo Chuxiao looked at him seriously, and after a while he showed a regretful expression.

"Excuse me?"

He even forgot the name of the "sorry" person in front of him.

That person instantly felt like a clown, flustered, and a little bit annoyed, but he didn't dare to blame anything, he could only continue to apologize cheekily and admit some mistakes that hadn't helped.

"...Also, what happened between you and Qi Lang back then..."

When he said this, there were a few people around who wanted to pretend not to care, and their attention fell on the two of them uncontrollably.

Could it be that Huo Chuxiao really couldn't get what he wanted from Qi Lang back then, to the point of committing suicide?

Now that Huo Chuxiao is so outstanding, how should Qi Lang feel?

Several people couldn't help but think of it.

And the apologetic person continued: "...you should have known it a long time ago, Qi Lang approached you back then, just because we made a bet on whether he could make you treat him with a month's time..."

The few people around heard it so hard that their eyes were taken out of the window.

They always thought that Huo Chuxiao stayed by Qi Lang's side and refused to leave!

As the person involved, Huo Chuxiao just took a sip of his wine calmly.

"know."

He finally looked at the man squarely, "Do you want to apologize to me for everything you have done? It's useless, I don't care anymore, and I can't forgive you. If you really feel guilty, What kind of pardon do you want, I suggest you start researching the space-time shuttle now, go back to the past, and ask for forgiveness from me at that time. And..."

Huo Chuxiao said to him very sincerely: "You are standing in front of me, it is very obstructive, I want to go out to smoke a cigarette now, can you get out of the way?"

Huo Chuxiao finally withdrew from the boring box, and walked to a small terrace on the second floor of the hotel. From this position, he could see the bustling street scene and starry sky not far away.

The night wind was blowing, and the body temperature was lower than it actually was. Huo Chuxiao tightened his jacket and lit a cigarette.

In fact, he is not a big smoker, except that sometimes the hippocampus is not active enough for painting and needs nicotine stimulation. He only lights up a cigarette when he is really irritable.

The thin smoke burns out the cool taste of mint, lingering around Huo Chuxiao who is alone.

He leaned against the edge of the terrace alone, leaving an exceptionally beautiful silhouette.

What Qi Lang saw was such a scene.

He paced forward and was found less than three meters away from the opponent.

Huo Chuxiao looked back at him warily, his eyes were cold.

"Is something wrong?"

Qi Lang showed a gentle smile, "I can only find you if I have something to do? You and I should not be unfamiliar with each other yet."

Huo Chuxiao turned around and said coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Qi Lang followed his example and leaned against the edge of the terrace, the cold stone platform brought out his body heat from the wine even more.

"I'm finally back in China, can't I meet my old lover? During this period of time, you didn't reply to any phone calls or text messages. Of course I wanted to ask for an explanation back then."

Huo Chuxiao: "I'm not your old lover, and I have no obligation to explain the reason why I didn't answer your call."

Qi Lang still smiled with crooked brows and eyes, and said softly: "It's been so many years, are you still angry with me?"

Huo Chuxiao almost laughed, he asked back: "I don't know, you can ask others, how should you react when you are deceived by others."

"Don't say that, Chu Xiao, even though my origin with you was a deception back then, the happiness we had when we were together was all real, wasn't it? Don't tell me that you were able to have such good acting skills back then , as soon as you see me..."

"Enough!" Huo Chuxiao rarely got angry.

In fact, he has a really good temper and doesn't get angry with anyone easily.But Qi Lang seemed to be deliberately challenging the bottom line of his patience, saying such brazen words, but still put on a pure and harmless appearance.

What made him most angry, or rather sad, was that Qi Lang was right.

When he was still kept in the dark, getting along with Qi Lang was really happy.Perhaps it can be regarded as the happiest day of his student days.

If that day doesn't come...

Huo Chuxiao couldn't help but broke the cigarette in his hand.The little sparks fell, shattered, and finally extinguished.

"Mr. Qi, I hope that we will not cross the river in the future, and we will never see each other again."

He turned to leave, but Qi Lang grabbed his arm.

"Chuxiao, why do you want to get married? Leave that person, let's be honest with each other, and talk about a love that doesn't start with deception, isn't it good?"

Huo Chuxiao turned his head and looked at Qi Lang's affectionate face.

"Qi Lang, you are a born actor."

He sneered, "If I hadn't seen clearly what kind of person you are when I was here, I'm afraid I would be moved by your appearance now."

He shook off Qi Lang's hand fiercely, "You haven't changed a bit after all these years, you just want to treat me as a plaything, a trophy that can be snatched, to prove your charm and outstanding acting skills. "

After Huo Chuxiao finished speaking, he turned around and left neatly.

Qi Lang was left standing alone.

But in the darkness, the light was only enough to illuminate half of Qi Lang's face.

He flashed a determined smile in the remaining light.

Huo Chuxiao, after so many years, Huo Chuxiao is the only one who can see through what kind of person he is.

But isn't that the fun?It's interesting to capture someone who sees through him, and watch yourself fall into the trap you've already guessed.

As for the marriage that got in the way, what was it to him?

Qi Lang couldn't even wait to meet that so-called legal husband.
