The call with Murong Qiao didn’t last long.

It was late at night after all, and she was also sleepy. The two of them didn’t chat for long before the sound of even breathing coming from the cell phone.

By the time Huo Yichen cleaned up his injuries and fell asleep, it was already midnight.

When he woke up the next day, Huo Hong had already gone to the company.

“Young Master, please eat.” The butler stood beside him.

Huo Yichen glanced at the empty Huo Family. “They’re all gone?”

“The family head brought Huo Xiuyuan along,” the butler replied softly.

If he said that it was house arrest, it was house arrest. Huo Hong was not vague with Huo Yichen at all.

This time, the deception had really touched Huo Hong’s sore spot. He hated and could not accept this point the most. Huo Yichen’s performance had been perfect thus far.

Naturally, Huo Xiuyuan also contributed a lot.

“Your project has been transferred to Huo Xiuyuan by the family head,” the butler reported truthfully.

Although the butler was at home now, he had been keeping an eye on the company. As Huo Hong’s most important eye, any news could not escape the butler’s notice.

Huo Yichen was expressionless. “Huo Hong is quite biased.”

He picked up his chopsticks and ate his breakfast slowly. It could even be said to be elegant.

He didn’t look like he was under house arrest at all. Even his tone sounded like he didn’t take it seriously.

If Huo Hong saw Huo Yichen like this, it would probably not be as simple as house arrest.

“If he wants to eat the resources in my hands, he has to see if he has the ability to.” Huo Yichen chuckled.

He lowered his eyes and focused on the breakfast in front of him. His tone was filled with anticipation, as if he was an audience waiting for the show to begin.

Whether Huo Hong was biased or wanted him to feel a sense of danger, this decision didn’t matter to him.

Most importantly, could Huo Xiuyuan really meet Huo Hong’s expectations?

Only a few people knew what Huo Yichen was thinking, but the people in the company had changed today.

Everyone was a little surprised to learn that Patriarch Huo had brought Huo Xiuyuan to the company and not Huo Yichen, who had been in the limelight recently.

“Just leave these things to me in the future.” Huo Xiuyuan smiled gently.

He was handing over the documents to Huo Yichen’s assistant or even standing in Huo Yichen’s office. As long as his gaze swept past the documents lying there, he revealed a sense of joy.

In the end, all of this was still his. A mere Huo Yichen—

The assistant handed him the schedule. “Alright, when are you free? I can arrange the schedule.”

“Just follow the old schedule,” Huo Xiuyuan replied casually.

It was impossible for him to be inferior to Huo Yichen. Huo Xiuyuan was determined to use this opportunity to establish his image.

The assistant hesitated. “Are you sure?”

She looked at Huo Xiuyuan with suspicion in her eyes.

“Do you think I’m inferior to him?” Huo Xiuyuan immediately asked.

His gentle expression turned dark in a second. He stared at his assistant’s reaction, wanting to get an answer from her.

“…No, that’s not what I meant.” The assistant hurriedly waved her hand.

Huo Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes and his voice turned cold. “Then execute it.”

How dare an assistant look down on him?

Seeing this, the assistant didn’t know what to say. She could only purse her lips in response and leave.

At this moment, Huo Xiuyuan didn’t realize what decision he had made.

However, after the assistant left, he slowly paced to the desk and sat on the chair to spin around. A faint laugh sounded in the empty office.

“He’s just a defeated opponent.”

As expected, everyone received the news that Huo Hong had returned to the company today.

However, not only did Huo Hong not put Huo Yichen in an important position, but he even promoted Huo Xiuyuan. Many people were puzzled.

“Why do I find it more and more difficult to understand the chairman’s actions… Isn’t Young President Huo doing quite well? Why did he change his mind?”

“I don’t know. So what if they changed it? They even exchanged it for someone who doesn’t know anything. I saw Huo Xiuyuan in a meeting the day before yesterday. He only knows how to say ‘yes’. He doesn’t even know the details of some projects…”

“I still like the previous Young President Huo. He’s extremely efficient and capable, unlike this one. We still have to report an overview of the overall project. I’m so tired—”

Two employees who were whispering to each other discussed the company’s changes in the pantry, mixed with many complaints about Huo Xiuyuan.

They were both young masters of the Huo Family, so why was the difference so big?

“The previous project was quite good, but now that Huo Xiuyuan has taken over, I feel like I’ve worked for nothing,” the employee muttered tiredly.

In the end, the Manager’s voice suddenly came from behind. “Don’t you want your job anymore?”

The employee was shocked and hurriedly smiled apologetically. “No, no. I suddenly remembered that I haven’t reviewed my project report…”

The scene was too awkward for a moment. The two employees were discovered talking bad about their boss. They glared at the Manager and found an excuse before hurriedly running away.

“…” After everyone left, the Manager rubbed his swollen forehead.

He silently took a cup of coffee and held it in his hand. He couldn’t help but think about the discussion between the two employees just now.

These two employees were not the only ones talking about this phenomenon. Recently, the entire company had been talking about Huo Xiuyuan.

Everyone was almost used to Huo Yichen’s ability. Huo Xiuyuan’s arrival was like a drop of ink dripping into clear water. It was so turbid that it made one feel uncomfortable.

Thinking that he was about to report to Huo Xiuyuan, the Manager didn’t have much time to think. After drinking a cup of coffee to relieve his fatigue, he quickly knocked on the door with the documents.

“Come in!” Huo Xiuyuan shouted.

The Manager’s heart skipped a beat, but he still braced himself and walked in. “The documents you want and the meeting in the afternoon—”

“The meeting is canceled,” Huo Xiuyuan interrupted impatiently.

Meetings, meetings, meetings, all you know is meetings!

Huo Xiuyuan had been living in the conference room for the past few days. Now, he wanted to vomit when he heard about another meeting.

“But…” The Manager frowned.

How could a meeting be canceled just like that?

Huo Xiuyuan slammed the table. “No buts!”

He was almost sick of these words. If he had known that Huo Yichen’s schedule was so full, Huo Xiuyuan wouldn’t have said those words previously.

But now that he had already said it, he couldn’t take it back. Even if Huo Xiuyuan forced himself to admit it, he didn’t want to admit that he was inferior to Huo Yichen.

As for those clients, they were each more difficult to deal with than the other. Huo Xiuyuan had been running into obstacles everywhere for the past few days and had not even been able to negotiate a single collaboration.

“You dare to disobey me?” He looked at the Manager with an oppressive gaze.

“It’s just a meeting. Just postpone it to the future.” Huo Xiuyuan waved at him. “Leave the documents for me to read later.”

The Manager didn’t dare to disobey this person, so he could only do as Huo Xiuyuan said.

However, after leaving the office, he couldn’t help but sigh imperceptibly. He felt that Huo Xiuyuan was too different from Huo Yichen.

This was not just a difference in ability.

However, it was not up to workers like them to guess what Huo Hong was thinking. It didn’t matter who controlled the company as long as it did not affect the Young Master.

But if Huo Xiuyuan becomes the heir in the future…

The Manager imagined such a terrible future in his heart and couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle. He secretly wanted to resign from the company..
