Chapter 60: Cooperation
Huo You thought that after showing her business talent to Mr. Huo, she would receive his praise and be highly regarded.
However, Mr. Huo ignored her suggestion that day and didn’t deal any blows to Si Huan and his company on the business level.
Huo You didn’t understand why her father would give up such a great opportunity to annex the Si Family. Before she decided to collaborate with He Yu, Huo You had gone to look for her father to continue convincing him to deal with the Si Family according to her plan.
Then, Huo You heard Mr. and Mrs. Huo’s discussion about Huo Tian and Si Huan.
Mrs. Huo had always been gentle and virtuous when facing Mr. Huo. “Hubby, what do you think of Huo You’s suggestion? Are we really going to lay our hands on Si Huan?”
“Huo You is quite ambitious, but she’s still a little girl after all. She doesn’t think things through thoroughly.” Mr. Huo shook his head and looked a little regretful. “If the opponent wasn’t Si Huan, I would think that this is a pretty good plan.”
“Yeah, that Si Huan is not simple.” Mrs. Huo poured a drink for Mr. Huo. When she mentioned Huo You, her tone was slightly mocking.
“Huo You is a very ambitious girl. Moreover, she hasn’t seen Si Huan’s scary side before. She really thinks that such superficial methods can defeat Si Huan.”
Mr. Huo took a sip of the drink then nodded. “Moreover, the Huo Family and the Si Family don’t have any deep feuds. There’s also the relationship between Si Huan and Huo Tian. Our families might even become relatives one day. Having one more friend is better than having one more enemy.”
…
That day, Huo You stood at the study door and saw the mocking and disdainful expression on Mrs. Huo’s face when she mentioned her. Mrs. Huo seemed to have forgotten that not long ago, she was still the biological daughter whom she was proud of.
Huo You stopped trying to convince Mr. Huo and turned to look for new business partners.
Among all the people she knew, He Yu was a good choice.
He was proud and insufferably arrogant, and he had always looked down on Si Huan. Huo You believed that He Yu wouldn’t miss the opportunity to deal a serious blow to Si Huan.
Huo You repeated the plan she had mentioned to her father and looked at He Yu, who was smoking quietly on the sofa.
“The current Si Family looks like an unshakable colossus on the surface, but we all know that it just went through an internal turmoil. As long as we use the right method, we’ll definitely be able to bite off a huge piece of fatty meat from the Si Family…”
“Little girl, you make it sound good.” He Yu took a puff of his cigarette, looking deep in thought. “The Si Family isn’t that easy to deal with. Moreover, Si Huan isn’t as simple as he seems to be.”
“Si Huan’s status hasn’t been completely stabilized yet. This is our best chance. If Si Huan is given some more time to stabilize his footing, it’d be even harder for you to do anything to him anymore, right?”
Huo You had learned a lot from Mrs. Huo. When she looked at He Yu with the shadow of a smile, He Yu could feel the contempt Huo You had hidden in her heart.
Her expression seemed to be saying, ‘The Si Huan now is already making you so wary. When his wings are full, you’ll be even less a match for him.”
He Yu bit his cigarette hard and then pressed it into the table, putting it out.
He Yu also made up his mind at this moment. “I’m a man. I can’t act more cowardly than a little girl like you.”
Huo You understood what He Yu meant and a big smile appeared on her face. She reached out a hand to He Yu. “I hope that we will have a pleasant cooperation!”
He Yu grabbed Huo You’s hand and shook it twice as a polite gesture, but he didn’t let go. Instead, he pulled Huo You into his embrace.
“Ah…”
Huo You let out a cry of surprise from being caught off guard. Her resistance was then blocked by He Yu’s lips. After a deep kiss, He Yu released Huo You, who was still putting up a tough struggle.
He looked at the furious Huo You and said with a teasing tone, “What? Are you really angry at me?”
“Shouldn’t I be angry?” Huo You continued to struggle, trying to get out of He Yu’s arms. “You damned guy! How could you treat me like that earlier!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was too rough previously…”
He Yu coaxed her gently. Although Huo You was still angry, they had just reached an agreement. She could only suppress her dissatisfaction and pretend to be cordial to He Yu.
…
“Bi Ying, let’s go to the laboratory!”
Huo Tian ignored the class bell that had just rung. She stood at the door of Year One Class Three and waved at Bi Ying, who was in the last row.
“Hurry up, hurry up. What’s so good about math classes? Don’t waste your time!”
The math teacher from Year One Class Three was standing on the podium and had heard Huo Tian’s words clearly. At that moment, he felt great rage surging in his heart. However, in front of these two geniuses, Bi Ying and Huo Tian, the math teacher could not get himself to be angry.
Facing Bi Ying’s questioning gaze, the math teacher waved his hand helplessly. “Bi Ying, go with Huo Tian. Just don’t forget to submit the quiz later.”
