âJinyao, you are being modest.â He Xuankai wore a light smile on her face. âIf your company is a small temple, then what is the Heâs Group?â
Huo Jinyao raised his eyebrows and said playfully, âSo, youâre here to burn incense?â
âYes.â He Xuankai did not deny it. âJinyao, you will not refuse me, will you?â
âOf course not. We can make money together, right?â
âI admire your decisiveness,â He Xuankai said. Then, he looked at He Xuanyao, who had been silent and said, âXuanyao, you introduce our plan this time.â
âOkay.â He Xuanyao stood up confidently and was about to start speaking when she was interrupted.
âMiss He, wait a moment.â
Huo Jinyao called He Xuankai by his name, but called He Xuanyao âMiss He.â The difference was very clear.
He Xuanyaoâs face became very sour at once because of this.
âBrother Jinââ Seeing the coldness in Huo Jinyaoâs eyes, she abruptly changed the appellation. âMr. Huo, that wasnât very kind of you, was it?â
âNo. I just donât think we are that close.â
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.
âIâm sorry, but I just wanted to ask whether this plan is much different from the last one. If not, donât introduce it.â
âJinyao?â If He Xuankai still could not sense Huo Jinyaoâs hostility to his sister, he really was a fool. âXuanyao is just a child; why are you acting so serious?â
âChild?â Huo Jinyao nodded. âThen she should not do business. Isnât it better for her to go home and drink milk?â
âHuo Jinyaoââ 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. âXuanyao, sit down.â
âBrother, look at himââ She was the daughter of the He Family, after all. How could Huo Jinyao humiliate her so? He had gone too far.
âJinyao.â He Xuankai could barely maintain his good manner. âThe He and Huo families cooperate with each other frequently. You are not being very gentlemanlike, are you?â
âYou said she was a child. A child is supposed to do childish things.â
He Xuankai nodded and he realized something. âXuanyao 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.â
âI am surely satisfied with your ability, Xuankai.â He picked up the plan and said, âBut, anyhow, I canât make a decision about this until I have a meeting with the board of directors. Is that alright?â
âOf course.â
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.
âWe should leave now.â He Xuankai stopped suddenly and added, âOh yes, Iâve invited several leaders of Lin City for dinner this evening. Since you are now developing a business in Lin City, why donât you come with us?â
âSure.â 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.
