When Xu Huan heard this, he scratched his head in confusion and a hint of anxiety appeared on his face. âBrother Huo, what do you mean by that? What about them testing us? Why donât I understand what youâre saying?â
Huo Xuan lowered his eyes and raised his hand, waving it a few times. A glint flashed across his eyes. He picked up the teacup on his desk and took a sip. âInstruct the staff members in charge of handling this matter from the company. Thereâs no need to be ina hurry to find the person behind the scenes,
nor do we have to think of a way to reinforce the firewall. The person hasnât announced the companyâs information to the public. Weâll quietly wait for him to make a move.â
Upon hearing Huo Xuanâs words, Xu Huan frowned and continued to ask worriedly, âBrother Huo, we canât just leave this matter alone, can we? Itâs only been one afternoon and weâve already lost 500 million. If this continues, even if we have money, we wonât be able to handle it!â
âDonât worry, weâve already reached this number. The losses weâll suffer next shouldnât increase anymore. The other partyâs goal isnât the Huo family. Their actions this time should be targeted at me. Let them ignore it. I want to see what that person wants!â Huo Xuan tightened his grip on the teacup, and
his eyes instantly turned cold.
The next day was Saturday. Mo Zhu and Meng Ran arranged Mo Zhu to visit Meng Ranâs house. As Meng Ranâs family lived in a small county near Cloud City, Mo Zhu woke up early in the morning to prepare for this trip.
Coincidentally, Xu Huan and Mo Wu had also completed the things that Huo Xuan had instructed them to do previously. Thus, under the joint discussion of everyone today, they decided to visit the small county city where Meng Ranâs house was.
After making the arrangements, Mo Zhu informed Meng Ran. She received the location from the girl and everyone left after breakfast.
Two hours later, the car arrived at Meng Ranâs house. Father Meng and Mother Meng knew that Mo Zhu was coming and they were already waiting at the entrance of the house.
After bringing the few of them into the house, it was time for lunch, Father Meng brought everyone to the dining room and sat down. Mother Meng went to the kitchen and brought out the dishes that had been prepared in advance.
Knowing that there were two or three other people coming with Mo Zhu, Mother Meng started preparing a day in advance. She had cooked more than ten dishes for this meal.
Seeing the table full of delicacies, Xu Huan couldnât help but swallow hard. He stared at the delicious food in front of him with his eyes wide open and asked Mo Zhu in shock, âLittle Bamboo, who is this classmate of yours? They are so willing to spend to entertain guests at home! Looking at this scene, Iâve
never seen so many exquisite dishes even at the banquets in Beijing!â
After saying this, Xu Huan looked up at the decorations of the entire room. Apart from the fact that the house was not in the wealthy district, the decorations inside looked relatively expensive. Not only were there many beautiful calligraphy and paintings on the wall, there were also many rare antiques
on the cabinet in the living room. One look was enough to tell that they were priceless treasures on the market.
If one did not look, they would not know. But when they looked, it was really hard to believe that Meng Ran and her family were just ordinary farmers!
While Xu Huan was sighing with emotion, Mrs. Meng had already filled the table with all the dishes. As she placed the bowls and chopsticks for everyone, she said gently, âOur house is a little simple and crude. The conditions in this small county city are not as good as Cloud City. If thereâs anything
lacking with our hospitality, please forgive us.â
Huo Xuan had also taken a seat in the dining room under Father Mengâs arrangements. Upon hearing Mother Mengâs words, he smiled lightly and replied politely, âNo, no. Youâre treating us like outsiders by saying this.â
Mo Zhu agreed with his words and said, âThis visit was too sudden. Iâve troubled you.â
As she spoke, Mo Zhu also carefully sized up the layout of Meng Ranâs house. Indeed, everything was as she had expected. The young ladyâs family was really rich.
Seeing that everyone was already seated, Father Meng happily invited everyone to eat. âThese are all home-cooked dishes that Ranranâs mother usually makes. The few of you must be hungry after sitting in the car for so long. Hurry up and try these dishes!â
âWhen Meng Ran saw this, she also picked up her chopsticks and picked up a big piece of her favorite braised pork for Mo Zhu, who was sitting beside her. âSister Mo, quickly try the braised pork my mom made. Itâs delicious. Iâve been eating it since I was young. I crave it even after eating it for the previous
meal!â
Although Mo Zhu was not used to eating the food that others had placed in her bowl, she picked up her chopsticks abnormally and brought the braised pork to her mouth. After eating it, she even smiled and praised it, telling Meng Ran that it was delicious..
