Chapter 92: Father and Son
Huo Jing's study is at the end of this marble corridor, and it is not so much a study as it is Huo Jing's reception room. Usually if there is an important guest, Huo Jingjing chooses to meet the other party in the study.
Liu Jun took Huo Ziqiu to the door of the study and stopped: "Huo Dong is waiting for you inside." Saying that, he knocked on the door, and after a while, a deep voice inside said, "Come in", Liu Jun twisted the silver doorknob slightly, pushed the door open, and turned sideways to make way for Huo Ziqiu to enter.
"Young master, please."
"I'm sorry for my help." Huo Ziqiu nodded slightly and walked in on crutches.
On the wooden wall of the entrance, in the center is a scroll-shaped relief, on which is engraved the entire text of "The Art of War". Huo Jing, dressed in a gray robe, stood in front of the relief and looked up.
Huo Jing is sixty years old this year, but he is not as bloated as an ordinary sixty-year-old man, and his whole body reveals the aura of aging.
He was in good spirits, and his back was still straight. Although his hair is gray and his face has furrows, his eyes are shallow and restrained, as if he can see through people's hearts at a glance.
The Huo family has been in business for several generations, and Huo Jing has received an excellent education since he was a child, coupled with decades of experience in business, he has an extraordinary bearing between his gestures.
Good looks are an invincible weapon in themselves, not to mention that in today's face-looking society, a rich handsome old man is more popular with the public than those local tyrants with fat heads and big ears and a lot of money.
Take Huo Jing as an example, with this face when he was young. not only succeeded in fascinating Yuan Xiang, but also made Huo Ziqiu's mother fall under his suit pants as a moth.
To this day, it has also attracted a large number of fans because of its good image. The netizens who don't know what is going on the Internet are calling "Grandpa Huo" one by one, don't be too affectionate.
It's just a pity that none of Huo Jing and Yuan Xiangsheng's three sons inherited Huo Jing's good looks and bearing, but Huo Ziqiu became the one most like Huo Jing.
"How did you break your leg?"
As soon as Huo Ziqiu entered the door, he didn't greet Huo Jing, and found a place to sit down. Huo Jing didn't care, didn't even look back, and asked slowly.
"What? You don't know? Huo Ziqiu raised his eyebrows. The words were provocative: "I thought your greatest pleasure was reading the newspaper and reading the news." ”
"I only watch financial news. I don't have time to watch the entertainment version of the gossip. ”
Huo Ziqiu smiled: "You don't watch entertainment news? I advise you to take a look when you have time, so that the next time someone sells Chimelong shares, you will not be an afterthought. ”
Hearing this, Huo Jing finally turned his head. He wasn't angry either. There was even a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"It's rare for our father and son to see each other. Why bother to be so tense as soon as you meet. Huo Jing walked over. He sat down on the main seat, picked up the teapot in front of him, and poured two cups of tea. A cup was pushed to Huo Ziqiu: "How about tasting this tea, I know you have a little research on tea." ”
The heat rose, Huo Ziqiu looked at the cup of tea, did not move, his expression was calm, and his tone was flat: "Huo Dong, I booked a plane in the afternoon, and I have to rush to the airport, time is pressing, just say anything directly." ”
Huo Jing put down his cup, propped his right elbow on his lap, and held the pot in his left hand to refill the cup: "It's also a strange thing, except for me, no one in the family likes to drink tea." It's also quite boring to drink tea alone. ”
"Tea tasting should be a person, if you are like us, two people who don't speculate sit together, how can you still drink good tea?"
Huo Jing shook his head and looked at Huo Ziqiu quietly with his eyes. His eyes have been sharpened over the years, not only wise, but also coercive.
But Huo Ziqiu didn't avoid it, but his eyes came up to him and looked at him, without any intention of giving in.
After a long time, Huo Jing closed his gaze and sighed: "I've been letting you mix outside for ten years, have you mixed enough, it's time to come back." ”
"Mixed? Come back? Huo Ziqiu smiled: "Huo Dong, what do you mean by this?" I'm an actor, and if acting is a 'mix' in your eyes. I'm sorry, I'm probably going to have to mess around like this for the rest of my life. ”
Huo Jing said in a deep voice: "Ziqiu, after so many years, do you still hate me?" ”
Without waiting for Huo Ziqiu to answer, he sighed faintly and began to recall the past: "You were only seven years old when your mother took you back to the Wang family, and you don't know many of these things, and even if you do, you can't understand them...... For more than twenty years, I have never given up on my expectations of you. Do you know? When you were in high school, I wanted to take you back, the Wang family couldn't provide you with the best education at all, they would only waste your talent and let you go down the wrong path......"
"Although I was not very old at the time, only seven years old, I knew a lot more than you think." Huo Ziqiu hooked the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes: "For example, I know that Mayor Huo Dong is naturally romantic, and the mistress of ** can not be counted with two hands, my mother, that is just the most inconspicuous of them; For another example, when my mother was with Huo Dong, she didn't know that you were a married man, and you didn't know that she was the daughter of the Wang family......"
When he said this, he paused, and looked at Huo Jing with a smile: "You had many ways to make me die early, but after my mother became pregnant, you knew her true identity, and dispelled this idea." Although the Wang family cannot be compared with the Huo family, they are also a figure in H City, and they may be able to use it when Chimelong Group expands its business in the mainland in the future...... Huo Dong, you think so. ”
He continued: "If you want to say that with Huo Dong's wealth and status, it is nothing to have a few more little wives, not to mention that this little wife is still a young lady of the Wang family, this deal is a good deal no matter what...... It's just that who let you have a powerful wife at home, but stealing chickens and rice did not lead to the Wang family, but instead of being tied to the Wang family, they formed a big bond with the Wang family. ”
"Did you find these, or did the Wang family find them?"
"What's the difference? I and the Wang family are all one. ”
"Ziqiu, the Wang family can only be regarded as a local snake, calling for wind and rain in H City. Out of H City, it is just a medium-sized enterprise, how to compare with Chimelong Group? I don't need to co-opt them, and I can't talk about bonding. ”
Huo Ziqiu smiled: "Twenty years ago, I definitely believed you when you said this. But today," he shook his head with a smile: "Times are different, Chimelong Group has continued to lose money in recent years, and if it continues to be consumed like this, it will be similar to the strength of the Wang family." (To be continued.) )
