To My Dear Mr. Huo - Chapter 108
Chapter 108: No One Comes to the Hall of Trinity Without a Reason.
.
“Jinyao, you are being modest.” He Xuankai wore a light smile on her face. “If your company is a small temple, then what is the He’s Group?”
Huo Jinyao raised his eyebrows and said playfully, “So, you’re here to burn incense?”
“Yes.” He Xuankai did not deny it. “Jinyao, you will not refuse me, will you?”
“Of course not. We can make money together, right?”
“I admire your decisiveness,” He Xuankai said. Then, he looked at He Xuanyao, who had been silent and said, “Xuanyao, you introduce our plan this time.”
“Okay.” He Xuanyao stood up confidently and was about to start speaking when she was interrupted.
“Miss He, wait a moment.”
Huo Jinyao called He Xuankai by his name, but called He Xuanyao “Miss He.” The difference was very clear.
He Xuanyao’s face became very sour at once because of this.
“Brother Jin—” Seeing the coldness in Huo Jinyao’s eyes, she abruptly changed the appellation. “Mr. Huo, that wasn’t very kind of you, was it?”
“No. I just don’t think we are that close.”
Huo Jinyao called He Xuankai by his name because he recognized him as an opponent in business. At least Huo Jinyao appreciated his strategies. As for He Xuanyao, she was nothing.
“I’m sorry, but I just wanted to ask whether this plan is much different from the last one. If not, don’t introduce it.”
“Jinyao?” If He Xuankai still could not sense Huo Jinyao’s hostility to his sister, he really was a fool. “Xuanyao is just a child; why are you acting so serious?”
“Child?” Huo Jinyao nodded. “Then she should not do business. Isn’t it better for her to go home and drink milk?”
“Huo Jinyao—” She never been humiliated like this. She jumped to her feet and was about to explode. He Xuankai took her arm and held her down to keep her from moving. “Xuanyao, sit down.”
“Brother, look at him—” She was the daughter of the He Family, after all. How could Huo Jinyao humiliate her so? He had gone too far.
“Jinyao.” He Xuankai could barely maintain his good manner. “The He and Huo families cooperate with each other frequently. You are not being very gentlemanlike, are you?”
“You said she was a child. A child is supposed to do childish things.”
He Xuankai nodded and he realized something. “Xuanyao is young, and sometimes she speaks unthoughtfully. Please, forgive her. This plan was not only made with great effort by our whole planning team, but I also checked it before we got here today. I believe that you will be satisfied.”
“I am surely satisfied with your ability, Xuankai.” He picked up the plan and said, “But, anyhow, I can’t make a decision about this until I have a meeting with the board of directors. Is that alright?”
“Of course.”
Leaving the letter of cooperation, He Xuankai stood up. He Xuanyao wanted to say something more but just nodded after getting a look from her brother.
“We should leave now.” He Xuankai stopped suddenly and added, “Oh yes, I’ve invited several leaders of Lin City for dinner this evening. Since you are now developing a business in Lin City, why don’t you come with us?”
“Sure.” Huo Jinyao looked at He Xuankai for a moment before nodding lightly.
The two brothers and sister exchanged a look and smiled at each other. He Xuanyao, in particular, looked excited.
Huo Jinyao did not notice.
