When Ji Zongming came out of the meeting room, he saw Huo Chuxiao sitting on the small sofa in the rest area, with the company's marketing director sitting beside him. The two of them were eating a small cake and potato chips, talking about something with great interest.
Huo Chuxiao even stared at the supervisor seriously the whole time, as if concentrating on it.
Although the person in charge has embraced both of them...Although Huo Chuxiao probably doesn't like women...Although there is still a distance of one meter between the two of them...
But Boss Ji still took two steps and walked in front of the two of them.
"What are you talking about?" he asked calmly.
Huo Chuxiao was so busy eating cupcakes that she only had time to look up at him.
The marketing director smiled and said, "Hey, Boss, I'm teaching Mr. Huo how to build a personal brand."
Ji Zongming became interested when he heard it, "Oh?"
It turned out that Huo Chuxiao came a little too early, and he didn't come out of the meeting room after waiting for half an hour. Xiao Chen also had something to do and was called away by his boss, so he wandered around the rest area bored alone.Fortunately, the employees here like to read some picture books when they have nothing to do. The small bookcase in the rest area is full, so he just picked a picture book at random and sat on the sofa to read it for a while.
It just so happened that the marketing director came to the rest area to pick up snacks, and he happened to read the hot news a while ago, and recognized him. He was supposed to meet and chat with fans, but the director suffered from an occupational disease, thinking that Huo Chuxiao is currently on the Internet. It's a pity to waste the heat in vain. Why don't she give some ideas to turn the heat into reality.
Huo Chuxiao didn't have much interest in this matter at first, but the supervisor was very eloquent, saying that if the management is successful, what kind of work will he have, and he can directly act as his own agent and make money at home.
These words just hit his heart.
Although Jingjie's working environment is very good, after all, there are people in charge, and he is still a wage earner at heart. If he really has the opportunity to be his own boss, the more the better.
Just like that, the two hit it off quite a bit, and chatted for half an hour at a stretch.
Ji Zongming originally realized that the meeting was too long, and was worried that Huo Chuxiao would get bored of waiting. In the end, he talked almost twice as fast, and came out in a hurry. Seeing that he was not idle, he was relieved.
When he heard what the marketing director said, he was actually a little moved.
That Boss Qin in the Jingjie was simply harboring evil intentions towards Huo Chuxiao. Although he was not as shameless as Qi Lang, he kept making small moves.
Ji Zongming wanted to confront Qin Huai several times, but Huo Chuxiao felt good about him, and the two were usually good friends. Ji Zongming didn't want to destroy Huo Chuxiao's relationship, and knew that he had no position, so he could only endure it.
If Huo Chuxiao could really work on his own without having to work under Qin Huai's nose every day, then Ji's boss would definitely get 180 approvals.
The marketing director saw that the CEO agreed, and even left a contact information for Huo Chuxiao, saying that he would talk in detail when he had time.
After his subordinates withdrew, Ji Zongming looked at Huo Chuxiao: "I've been waiting for a long time, are you too hungry?"
Huo Chuxiao: "Have some snacks, let's make some cushions first. Let's go."
Ji Zongming didn't rush to follow him, but stopped him, bent down and pulled a piece of paper from the table.
Huo Chuxiao didn't know why, so he saw Ji Zongming approaching, so close that he almost violated his private area... He froze for a moment, but didn't move away.If it were in the past, he would have already hid in the next room by now.
Ji Zongming wiped his nose lightly with tissue paper, looked at him again, and said "hmm".
"You just had a piece of cream on your nose." Ji Zongming said, but he touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably.
Huo Chuxiao seemed to be infected by his uneasiness, and touched his wiped nose, and said in a muffled voice, "Oh...thank you."
The hot pot restaurant is not far away, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to drive there.
Only then did Huo Chuxiao realize that this is still a big business district, so bustling that the neon lights almost turn the night into day, the streets are bustling, and the underground is almost hollowed out by the parking lot. A little 10 minutes.
Fortunately, he greeted the owner of the hot pot restaurant in advance and reserved a seat, so the two of them didn't have to queue.
But to Huo Chuxiao's surprise, Ji Zongming didn't book a box, but chose a corner seat on the first floor. Although it was very clean, he could still hear the noise in the lobby, full of fireworks.
Ji Zongming glanced at him and probably guessed it, and explained: "It's just the two of us having dinner, it's a bit redundant to open a private room."
What he actually thought was, a little ambiguous.
Recently, he can always think of Qi Lang's words, and laugh at him for respecting Huo Chuxiao, but he doesn't understand him at all.
In fact, after suggesting to Huo Chuxiao to pretend to be a loving couple, he soon regretted it, not because he regretted helping, but because he regretted acting.
The first time Huo Chuxiao deliberately called him dear in order to get rid of Qi Lang, Ji Zongming's heart beat so fast that he even felt abnormal.
There are also two people in the back who commute to get off work together. Although they both know they are acting, those experiences are real.He didn't know what Huo Chuxiao was thinking, but he was actually a little addicted to it.
Huo Chuxiao felt that this was too much trouble for him, why didn't Ji Zongming know about it.
But he seems to like trouble.
Or, he just likes to trouble someone...
Ji Zongming didn't drive this idea out of his mind this time.
He admitted it, because there seemed to be no other choice but to admit it.
When Qi Lang provoked him, he said that he knew that they were acting, because Huo Chuxiao liked someone and would not call him dear outright.
Ji Zongming minded very much, very much.
He wanted to know, what would Huo Chuxiao do?What will you call that person?
The answer is already on the horizon.
Ji Zongming has no relationship experience, but it doesn't mean he doesn't understand anything.Some things are engraved in instinct, and after a certain moment, they will naturally understand.He felt that as a natural person with independent personality, he didn't need others to teach him to understand.He can pierce the window paper himself.
Although the opportunity to pierce is really ridiculous.
But is the relationship between him and Huo Chuxiao different and funny?
Thinking this way, when he made a reservation, he subconsciously didn't choose a box.
If it was before, it doesn't matter.But now he has ambiguous thoughts about Huo Chuxiao, and then opportunistically uses Huo Chuxiao's "do not understand" to secretly pave the way for himself. Boss Ji can't do such a thing...
Why don't you just act like an ordinary friend and accompany him to eat and go shopping.
"You come to order, after all, I am treating guests." Huo Chuxiao's voice interrupted his thinking.
Ji Zongming returned to his senses slightly, staring at the menu spread out in front of him in a daze.
Fuck, he forgot, it wasn't he who ate with Huo Chuxiao, it was Huo Chuxiao who ate with him.People are here for a treat.
That's why it's so funny when you meet the two of them...
Ji Zongming ordered a mandarin duck hotpot, and the tomato hotpot he chose for Huo Chuxiao's side, and spicy duck blood for his side.
Huo Chuxiao was a little apprehensive looking at the boiling spicy pot, and said hesitantly, "I remember you are from the north, how can you eat spicy food so well..."
While putting meat rolls and vegetables in his pot, Ji Zongming replied: "In the past, there were Hunanese in the army, and they trained together by eating together."
Huo Chuxiao thought of something, and suddenly asked with a jump in his mind: "So you are really in the cooking class in the army?"
Boss Ji was so worried that he rubbed his temples, "Do you think it's possible?"
"Then what do you do?"
"Armored infantry, you can roughly understand it as driving tanks."
Huo Chuxiao was thoughtful, "No wonder, your driving skills are really good."
Boss Ji thought to himself, okay, the driver sounds a little better than the chef...is there any?
However, Huo Chuxiao was obviously interested, and asked several questions about him in the army. Ji Zongming answered happily, and even showed him the scar on his arm from the wounded fragments.
Ji Zongming felt that it was the first time for the two of them to have such a peaceful chat, so he also asked him a few questions related to painting. Huo Chuxiao answered very seriously, and even said some other things. Ji Zongming listened quietly, and also Don't interrupt, just write it down silently in my heart, and occasionally ask questions when encountering terms that I don't understand.
The two of them ate such a meal for two hours, and it was almost ten o'clock when they came out of the hot pot restaurant.
According to the plan, Ji Zongming planned to take him to the famous art district here. To be honest, he had never been to that kind of place, so it would be nice to open his eyes by the way.
As a result, Huo Chuxiao guessed that he ate relatively smoothly, and he was a little full, and he started to feel sleepy as soon as he went out, and he was so depressed that he couldn't cheer up.The two of them had indeed chatted for quite a long time, and had a lot of conversations. Huo Chuxiao himself didn't expect to chat so much with him, and now his throat was tired, and he would skip two or three words.
Ji Zongming asked him: "Then... go home directly?"
"Well..." he replied weakly.
Seeing him like that, Ji Zongming thought it was a little funny, so he couldn't help but secretly smiled, and helped him open the door of the passenger seat.
On the way home, Huo Chuxiao kept his eyes closed and dozed off. The light from the street lamp shone on his face, bright and dark. Ji Zongming didn't concentrate on driving like Wang Changyuan this time. Play soft music to help you sleep.
The cabin is quiet, but still has a warm smell.
So when the phone rings, the comparison is particularly harsh.
Huo Chuxiao was so startled that he fumbled for the phone in his pocket, looked at the caller ID, was stunned for a moment, and then directly refused to answer.
Ji Zongming kept paying attention to him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, harassing calls."
In fact, the one shown above is Huo Chuming.
Huo Chuxiao didn't have much impression of his elder brother, but he didn't like him either.Although the eldest cousin went abroad many years ago, he lived together in the ancestral house when he was young, and he was not less looked down upon by his elder brother.
At home, he has suffered too much cold stare.
But Huo Chuming is a little different, because he treats almost everyone with the same virtues, even Huo Chuhong, who is loved by his family, his eldest cousin also looks down on him.
In this regard, the big cousin is quite equal.
But in his eyes, Huo Chuming was no different from the rest of the Huo family, they were all classified into a folder called "Deceased Relatives".If the Huo family contacted him, [-]% would ask him to pay, and the other [-]% would be to call and insult him.So he wasn't going to take the call at all.
However, Huo Chuming seemed to be very persistent, so he called twice more, but after being hung up by Huo Chuxiao in seconds, it stopped for a while, and the phone vibrated.
This time he texted instead.
Huo Chuxiao wanted to click to delete it, but when he glanced at the content of the text message, his fingers froze.
Ji Zongming glanced at him, seeming to be very concerned.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing." Huo Chuxiao put away his phone, pretending not to care.
However, in his mind, he remembered the information he had just seen.
——At ten o'clock the day after tomorrow, see you at xx teahouse.I don't believe you can be willing to watch that family of three go on so arrogantly.
Huo Chuxiao couldn't figure out what the big cousin meant by this.But he had a feeling that at least Huo Chuming was not on the opposite side of himself.
Huo Chuming's text message didn't have much impact on his life, anyway, he would understand everything after meeting him.So Huo Chuxiao has been busy with another matter these days instead.
That's what the marketing director of Ji Zongming's company said, to build a personal brand.
In fact, he seldom surfs the Internet. There are almost only basic apps in his mobile phone. Not to mention watching videos, he doesn't even use Weibo.
So when the marketing director mentioned to him about building a personal webpage and operating a personal account, he was basically no different from listening to the scriptures.
But he was quite enthusiastic, and even spent an afternoon talking with him in the cafe for a long time, so long that Huo Chuxiao felt that he was embarrassed to invite him.
"Miss Liang..."
The marketing executive waved his hand, "It's strange, just call me Alisa."
Huo Chuxiao paused, "Miss Alisa..."
Alisa: "..."
"Do I need to pay you? I feel that this consultation is a bit too professional."
Alisa took a sip of the Americano cheerfully, her facial features almost wrinkled because she forgot to add sugar, and she took the time to say: "No, don't worry about it, my hard work is not for nothing, someone pays me."
Huo Chuxiao wondered, "Who is it?"
Alisa added enough cube sugar and took another sip of coffee, finally regained her strength, and winked at him, "Our President."
Ji Zongming?
Huo Chuxiao was a little surprised, but think about it, Alisa is his employee, so this payment...does it mean salary?
But Alyssa quickly denied his conjecture: "Don't worry, our boss has given me an order to help you realize your personal business. You don't have to worry about the task of building a website in the future, just leave it to me." good."
Huo Chuxiao nodded slowly, but still looked very dazed.
Although Ji Zongming had done more than one thing to help him, most of them were at his request.This time Ji Zongming took the initiative to help him, just like what happened to Qi Lang last time, and it was not a trivial matter.
He felt that Ji Zongming was definitely not a warm-hearted person, but helping himself...he felt a little flattered.
But when he thought that it was Ji Zongming who did this, he didn't feel worried at all, at least he wouldn't suspect that that person did something bad to him.
But, I can't invite people to eat hot pot anymore... How can I repay this favor?
His troubles haven't been resolved yet. Alisa has already helped him set up a personal account, taught him how to apply for personal authentication, and finally encouraged him to post Weibo to try.
"There are already a lot of fake accounts under your name on the Internet, so don't be shy for yourself, and for your wild fans~"
Huo Chuxiao thought about it, and didn't accept Alisa's suggestion to send a selfie. Instead, he took a sketch that was in the draft stage after returning home, with the text: this week's plan.
Anyway, I don't know what to post, so it's better to use the Internet as a report station for my painting progress.
After the verification finally came down, netizens confirmed that the account with the name "Huo Chuxiao" was actually a real person.
Although the popularity was not as high as when he just won the award, it still caused a lot of discussion, and even the topic of "Huo Chuxiao opened a personal account" briefly climbed into the trending search.
There are all kinds of comments below, those who praise him, praise his paintings, ask for class qualifications, and even quarrel.Huo Chuxiao didn't reply either, because he didn't know what to reply at all, so he just flipped through quietly, occasionally seeing one or two professional comments, which was quite interesting, and suddenly felt that surfing the Internet occasionally was also good.
However, Mr. Huo, a junior netizen, didn't know that a small group of people were chatting about him on Weibo, which he couldn't understand at all.
"I rely on me, sisters, look what I found, Mr. H has opened Weibo!"
"Ah, I saw it! Can I dream of a Mr. J who is also a husband and wife!"
"Look at the picture posted by H!"
"What happened"
"The background, by visual inspection, is not in the studio, but at home"
"Can you see which neighborhood? Is it Mr. J's house? But I remember that he has several properties in the local area..."
"Of course it's the most comfortable place to live for my wife~ Remember when H used to walk to work, he must live near the studio"
"Grass, so now I drive such a big off-road vehicle to send my wife to and from get off work every day. Chunchun is superfluous, just showing off! Declaring sovereignty! kswl"
"Laughing, I could count cp fans on the whole network on one hand before, but J suddenly started to show her affection in a high-profile way, and the drug-addicted chicken smelled it and came over. A few days ago, I saw that even the group of straight men in the game forum nibbling"
"Heh, those men can take off, okay? They're starting to dream that there is a wife in the new game artist list of Company J. Straight man, how can the president order his wife to work!"
"That's why I was born solo..."
In the hidden cp chat, there was actually a big team building event, and a few hundred people chatted happily.
And Huo Chuxiao knew nothing about all this, just like when he came to the teahouse and waited in the box that Huo Chuming had reserved.He also didn't know anything about his big cousin who was coming.
After waiting for about 5 minutes, he heard the sound of a waiter leading people upstairs in the corridor, and then there was a knock on the door, and a man who was a little strange to him pushed in.
"Long time no see, my cousin."
Huo Chuming looked taller than he had imagined, and he was also much bigger. He probably did a lot of exercise abroad.He was wearing a black suit, but instead he had the aura of a bossy boss.
But Huo Chuxiao was not particularly afraid. Huo Chuming's sharpness made him feel at ease.
Because the big cousin put it on his face whether he liked it or disliked it, and he didn't pretend to be it.
"What can I do for you?" Huo Chuxiao asked calmly after taking a sip of hot tea.
Huo Chuming sat across from him, looked at him for a while, and then said in a nonchalant way: "It seems that he is doing well, but this is not what I imagined."
"In your eyes, should I have a miserable life?" Huo Chuxiao asked back.
"Isn't that right? Huo Yuanshan, Qi Birong and his wife have calculated you thoroughly. I heard that as soon as the front foot is used up, the back foot drives people out of the house?" Huo Chuming's tone was gloating, but Huo Chuxiao didn't feel it When he was targeted, the contempt and contempt from the big cousin's mouth was more like targeting some people who were not there.
But he is not good at talking with people and going around in circles, and he doesn't have the ability to dance with long sleeves, so he said bluntly: "You came to me to make fun of me, right? What's the meaning of that text message?"
"Literally, but I missed a little bit." Huo Chuming smiled at him, "I thought your married life was very unpleasant. If this is the case, the hatred for them should be deeper. And I want to achieve my goal, but also It will be easier."
"What do you want?"
"Cooperation."
What Huo Chuming blurted out surprised him.
cooperate?As a person who has withdrawn from the Huo family's power struggle, what capital can he cooperate with?
Huo Chuming saw his doubts, and said eloquently: "The purpose of my return to China is very simple, it is to fight for the family property. Huo Yuanshan's family has done too much and did not leave a way for people to survive, so I also followed the method of not leaving a way for them to survive." Fight them. You don't know what they did, do you?"
Huo Chuxiao replied: "You don't need to know, everything can be guessed. Since I was a child, they have been like that."
"Then don't you want to know why?" Huo Chuming showed him an unpredictable smile.
Huo Chuxiao was startled, "What do you mean?"
The eldest cousin put away his smiling face, and said solemnly: "Let's talk about cooperation first. Let me make a long story short. Now the Huo family has serious internal differences. It can basically be divided into Huo Yuanshan's faction and other forces. The Huo Yuanshan family intends to completely control the Huo family. In hand, of course, thanks to you, the benefits brought by that marriage have actually given such a big impetus to the Huo Corporation, and now the company's market value has nearly risen by half. As far as I know, Huo Chuhong's The little boy is also back, and he and his father are planning how to buy the company's stock and have an absolute controlling stake."
Huo Chuming couldn't help smoking a cigarette, and pushed it to Huo Chuxiao. After being rejected, he didn't care, and continued: "Damn it, like a father like a son, these two hypocrites actually lived long before the new will came down. I have already made some moves. I even suspect that Huo Chuhong's resignation from the company is just a smoke bomb to confuse us. I just calculated yesterday, and they are now holding nearly 25% of the stock, which is still the most optimistic estimate."
Although Huo Chuxiao didn't know anything about business warfare, he gradually heard some tricks. After thinking about it, he asked, "You came to me because of the stock in my hand?"
Huo Chuming snorted and laughed twice, "It seems that you are not too stupid, you look much more pleasing to the eye than when you were a child. That's right, it's the stocks in your hand."
Huo Chuxiao was puzzled and said, "But I only have less than 2%..."
The eldest cousin gestured to him, "That's right, it's only your 2%, hold tight, I'm afraid Huo Chuhong will come to you in the next few days, so don't agree anyway, understand? I don't think you can at least Stand with them, that's too cheap."
"I just don't want to have anything to do with them." Huo Chuxiao thought for a while, "Including you."
Huo Chuming: "It doesn't matter, I didn't expect you to play brother and friend with me. That bastard Huo Chuhong is almost pretending to be the contemporary Kong Rong, so what? He is also the one who is ruthless. We only cooperated for a short time, you don't have to If you do your part, the only thing you need to do is hold your stock, even if Huo Chuhong kneels down for you, don't give it to him, understand?"
Huo Chuxiao: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do?" Huo Chuming licked his teeth, and smiled cruelly, "Since they are so precious to the Huo family, I will destroy the Huo family in front of them."

Xiao Huo: Prepare to be taken away by his big cousin, lie down and win
感谢在2022-07-1021:25:54~2022-07-1121:03:56期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~
Thanks to the little angel who threw mines: arotai1;
Thanks to the little angel of the irrigation nutrient solution: twin prime numbers, only 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
Huo Chuxiao even stared at the supervisor seriously the whole time, as if concentrating on it.

The two of them ate such a meal for two hours, and it was almost ten o'clock when they came out of the hot pot restaurant.
According to the plan, Ji Zongming planned to take him to the famous art district here. To be honest, he had never been to that kind of place, so it would be nice to open his eyes by the way.
As a result, Huo Chuxiao guessed that he ate relatively smoothly, and he was a little full, and he started to feel sleepy as soon as he went out, and he was so depressed that he couldn't cheer up.The two of them had indeed chatted for quite a long time, and had a lot of conversations. Huo Chuxiao himself didn't expect to chat so much with him, and now his throat was tired, and he would skip two or three words.
Ji Zongming asked him: "Then... go home directly?"
"Well..." he replied weakly.
Seeing him like that, Ji Zongming thought it was a little funny, so he couldn't help but secretly smiled, and helped him open the door of the passenger seat.
On the way home, Huo Chuxiao kept his eyes closed and dozed off. The light from the street lamp shone on his face, bright and dark. Ji Zongming didn't concentrate on driving like Wang Changyuan this time. Play soft music to help you sleep.
The cabin is quiet, but still has a warm smell.
So when the phone rings, the comparison is particularly harsh.
Huo Chuxiao was so startled that he fumbled for the phone in his pocket, looked at the caller ID, was stunned for a moment, and then directly refused to answer.
Ji Zongming kept paying attention to him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"No, harassing calls."
In fact, the one shown above is Huo Chuming.
Huo Chuxiao didn't have much impression of his elder brother, but he didn't like him either.Although the eldest cousin went abroad many years ago, he lived together in the ancestral house when he was young, and he was not less looked down upon by his elder brother.
At home, he has suffered too much cold stare.
But Huo Chuming is a little different, because he treats almost everyone with the same virtues, even Huo Chuhong, who is loved by his family, his eldest cousin also looks down on him.
In this regard, the big cousin is quite equal.
But in his eyes, Huo Chuming was no different from the rest of the Huo family, they were all classified into a folder called "Deceased Relatives".If the Huo family contacted him, [-]% would ask him to pay, and the other [-]% would be to call and insult him.So he wasn't going to take the call at all.
However, Huo Chuming seemed to be very persistent, so he called twice more, but after being hung up by Huo Chuxiao in seconds, it stopped for a while, and the phone vibrated.
This time he texted instead.
Huo Chuxiao wanted to click to delete it, but when he glanced at the content of the text message, his fingers froze.
Ji Zongming glanced at him, seeming to be very concerned.
"What happened?"
"It's nothing." Huo Chuxiao put away his phone, pretending not to care.
However, in his mind, he remembered the information he had just seen.
——At ten o'clock the day after tomorrow, see you at xx teahouse.I don't believe you can be willing to watch that family of three go on so arrogantly.
Huo Chuxiao couldn't figure out what the big cousin meant by this.But he had a feeling that at least Huo Chuming was not on the opposite side of himself.
Huo Chuming's text message didn't have much impact on his life, anyway, he would understand everything after meeting him.So Huo Chuxiao has been busy with another matter these days instead.
That's what the marketing director of Ji Zongming's company said, to build a personal brand.
In fact, he seldom surfs the Internet. There are almost only basic apps in his mobile phone. Not to mention watching videos, he doesn't even use Weibo.
So when the marketing director mentioned to him about building a personal webpage and operating a personal account, he was basically no different from listening to the scriptures.
But he was quite enthusiastic, and even spent an afternoon talking with him in the cafe for a long time, so long that Huo Chuxiao felt that he was embarrassed to invite him.
"Miss Liang..."
The marketing executive waved his hand, "It's strange, just call me Alisa."
Huo Chuxiao paused, "Miss Alisa..."
Alisa: "..."
"Do I need to pay you? I feel that this consultation is a bit too professional."
Alisa took a sip of the Americano cheerfully, her facial features almost wrinkled because she forgot to add sugar, and she took the time to say: "No, don't worry about it, my hard work is not for nothing, someone pays me."
Huo Chuxiao wondered, "Who is it?"
Alisa added enough cube sugar and took another sip of coffee, finally regained her strength, and winked at him, "Our President."
Ji Zongming?
Huo Chuxiao was a little surprised, but think about it, Alisa is his employee, so this payment...does it mean salary?
But Alyssa quickly denied his conjecture: "Don't worry, our boss has given me an order to help you realize your personal business. You don't have to worry about the task of building a website in the future, just leave it to me." good."
Huo Chuxiao nodded slowly, but still looked very dazed.
Although Ji Zongming had done more than one thing to help him, most of them were at his request.This time Ji Zongming took the initiative to help him, just like what happened to Qi Lang last time, and it was not a trivial matter.
He felt that Ji Zongming was definitely not a warm-hearted person, but helping himself...he felt a little flattered.
But when he thought that it was Ji Zongming who did this, he didn't feel worried at all, at least he wouldn't suspect that that person did something bad to him.
But, I can't invite people to eat hot pot anymore... How can I repay this favor?
His troubles haven't been resolved yet. Alisa has already helped him set up a personal account, taught him how to apply for personal authentication, and finally encouraged him to post Weibo to try.
"There are already a lot of fake accounts under your name on the Internet, so don't be shy for yourself, and for your wild fans~"
Huo Chuxiao thought about it, and didn't accept Alisa's suggestion to send a selfie. Instead, he took a sketch that was in the draft stage after returning home, with the text: this week's plan.
Anyway, I don't know what to post, so it's better to use the Internet as a report station for my painting progress.
After the verification finally came down, netizens confirmed that the account with the name "Huo Chuxiao" was actually a real person.
Although the popularity was not as high as when he just won the award, it still caused a lot of discussion, and even the topic of "Huo Chuxiao opened a personal account" briefly climbed into the trending search.
There are all kinds of comments below, those who praise him, praise his paintings, ask for class qualifications, and even quarrel.Huo Chuxiao didn't reply either, because he didn't know what to reply at all, so he just flipped through quietly, occasionally seeing one or two professional comments, which was quite interesting, and suddenly felt that surfing the Internet occasionally was also good.
However, Mr. Huo, a junior netizen, didn't know that a small group of people were chatting about him on Weibo, which he couldn't understand at all.
"I rely on me, sisters, look what I found, Mr. H has opened Weibo!"
"Ah, I saw it! Can I dream of a Mr. J who is also a husband and wife!"
"Look at the picture posted by H!"
"What happened"
"The background, by visual inspection, is not in the studio, but at home"
"Can you see which neighborhood? Is it Mr. J's house? But I remember that he has several properties in the local area..."
"Of course it's the most comfortable place to live for my wife~ Remember when H used to walk to work, he must live near the studio"
"Grass, so now I drive such a big off-road vehicle to send my wife to and from get off work every day. Chunchun is superfluous, just showing off! Declaring sovereignty! kswl"
"Laughing, I could count cp fans on the whole network on one hand before, but J suddenly started to show her affection in a high-profile way, and the drug-addicted chicken smelled it and came over. A few days ago, I saw that even the group of straight men in the game forum nibbling"
"Heh, those men can take off, okay? They're starting to dream that there is a wife in the new game artist list of Company J. Straight man, how can the president order his wife to work!"
"That's why I was born solo..."
In the hidden cp chat, there was actually a big team building event, and a few hundred people chatted happily.
And Huo Chuxiao knew nothing about all this, just like when he came to the teahouse and waited in the box that Huo Chuming had reserved.He also didn't know anything about his big cousin who was coming.
After waiting for about 5 minutes, he heard the sound of a waiter leading people upstairs in the corridor, and then there was a knock on the door, and a man who was a little strange to him pushed in.
"Long time no see, my cousin."
Huo Chuming looked taller than he had imagined, and he was also much bigger. He probably did a lot of exercise abroad.He was wearing a black suit, but instead he had the aura of a bossy boss.
But Huo Chuxiao was not particularly afraid. Huo Chuming's sharpness made him feel at ease.
Because the big cousin put it on his face whether he liked it or disliked it, and he didn't pretend to be it.
"What can I do for you?" Huo Chuxiao asked calmly after taking a sip of hot tea.
Huo Chuming sat across from him, looked at him for a while, and then said in a nonchalant way: "It seems that he is doing well, but this is not what I imagined."
"In your eyes, should I have a miserable life?" Huo Chuxiao asked back.
"Isn't that right? Huo Yuanshan, Qi Birong and his wife have calculated you thoroughly. I heard that as soon as the front foot is used up, the back foot drives people out of the house?" Huo Chuming's tone was gloating, but Huo Chuxiao didn't feel it When he was targeted, the contempt and contempt from the big cousin's mouth was more like targeting some people who were not there.
But he is not good at talking with people and going around in circles, and he doesn't have the ability to dance with long sleeves, so he said bluntly: "You came to me to make fun of me, right? What's the meaning of that text message?"
"Literally, but I missed a little bit." Huo Chuming smiled at him, "I thought your married life was very unpleasant. If this is the case, the hatred for them should be deeper. And I want to achieve my goal, but also It will be easier."
"What do you want?"
"Cooperation."
What Huo Chuming blurted out surprised him.
cooperate?As a person who has withdrawn from the Huo family's power struggle, what capital can he cooperate with?
Huo Chuming saw his doubts, and said eloquently: "The purpose of my return to China is very simple, it is to fight for the family property. Huo Yuanshan's family has done too much and did not leave a way for people to survive, so I also followed the method of not leaving a way for them to survive." Fight them. You don't know what they did, do you?"
Huo Chuxiao replied: "You don't need to know, everything can be guessed. Since I was a child, they have been like that."
"Then don't you want to know why?" Huo Chuming showed him an unpredictable smile.
Huo Chuxiao was startled, "What do you mean?"
The eldest cousin put away his smiling face, and said solemnly: "Let's talk about cooperation first. Let me make a long story short. Now the Huo family has serious internal differences. It can basically be divided into Huo Yuanshan's faction and other forces. The Huo Yuanshan family intends to completely control the Huo family. In hand, of course, thanks to you, the benefits brought by that marriage have actually given such a big impetus to the Huo Corporation, and now the company's market value has nearly risen by half. As far as I know, Huo Chuhong's The little boy is also back, and he and his father are planning how to buy the company's stock and have an absolute controlling stake."
Huo Chuming couldn't help smoking a cigarette, and pushed it to Huo Chuxiao. After being rejected, he didn't care, and continued: "Damn it, like a father like a son, these two hypocrites actually lived long before the new will came down. I have already made some moves. I even suspect that Huo Chuhong's resignation from the company is just a smoke bomb to confuse us. I just calculated yesterday, and they are now holding nearly 25% of the stock, which is still the most optimistic estimate."
Although Huo Chuxiao didn't know anything about business warfare, he gradually heard some tricks. After thinking about it, he asked, "You came to me because of the stock in my hand?"
Huo Chuming snorted and laughed twice, "It seems that you are not too stupid, you look much more pleasing to the eye than when you were a child. That's right, it's the stocks in your hand."
Huo Chuxiao was puzzled and said, "But I only have less than 2%..."
The eldest cousin gestured to him, "That's right, it's only your 2%, hold tight, I'm afraid Huo Chuhong will come to you in the next few days, so don't agree anyway, understand? I don't think you can at least Stand with them, that's too cheap."
"I just don't want to have anything to do with them." Huo Chuxiao thought for a while, "Including you."
Huo Chuming: "It doesn't matter, I didn't expect you to play brother and friend with me. That bastard Huo Chuhong is almost pretending to be the contemporary Kong Rong, so what? He is also the one who is ruthless. We only cooperated for a short time, you don't have to If you do your part, the only thing you need to do is hold your stock, even if Huo Chuhong kneels down for you, don't give it to him, understand?"
Huo Chuxiao: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"What do you want to do?" Huo Chuming licked his teeth, and smiled cruelly, "Since they are so precious to the Huo family, I will destroy the Huo family in front of them."
