Huo Shiqian implied in his words: speaking to Ou Jun had been much more effective than Jiang Shuqin could manage.
Xia Chuyi should be the one relying on and trusting him.
Upon hearing Huo Shiqian's words, Xia Chuyi immediately smiled and said, "I know, if you say something, Brother Ou Jun will definitely take it more seriously."
"But…" Xia Chuyi paused briefly, a slight frown of distress on his face, continuing, "Ou Jiao is currently upset with Brother Ou because the Ou family hasn't acknowledged her identity yet."
"I heard that Ou Jiao really trusts Xia Lan."
"So, I'm afraid if you talk to Brother Ou about Xia Lan, Brother Ou might pay too much attention."
"And then, if he does something excessive, it might affect his relationship with Ou Jiao."
Xia Chuyi seriously shared his analysis of the situation with Huo Shiqian.
Seeing the serious expression on his little girl's face, Huo Shiqian couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alright, I won't interfere."
He knew he had to learn to protect as well as to let go.
He patted her head and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back to your dorm."
Xia Chuyi gave him a brilliant smile, nodded, and said, "Okay!"
Uncle Liberation Army is becoming less autocratic now, hmm, very good, very good!
Following that, the two of them held hands, changed the topic, and continued on their way.
As for the new topic...the affairs of Uncle Liberation Army were off-limits.
So, it was Xia Chuyi, chattering all the way, telling Huo Shiqian about some matters from her "Youwei" store.
"Over in H province, Xing Mang has already gone to help Sister Fang and managed to set up the provincial city branch," Xia Chuyi said.
Then, seemingly having thought of something else, she continued, "Brother Shiqian, you wouldn't know this, but Xing Mang girl has managed the openings of two branches…"
"Now, just as the provincial city business in H province is getting well managed, she's already thinking of opening another branch."
At this point, Xia Chuyi paused and couldn't help but shake her head, laughing, "Ah, it's not that I'm opposed to her opening branches!"
"But the capital I just recouped will have to be spent again!"
"So, even though I have four stores, I'm still poor!"
Xia Chuyi's words weren't meant as a complaint, just a bit of whining playfully.
However, Huo Shiqian suddenly stopped walking and seriously said to her, "Chuyi, are you not using the things I gave you?"
Startled, Xia Chuyi asked, "Ah, you mean the money you sent me?"
Huo Shiqian shook his head and said, "And the things in the Bao Mansion."
"If needed, you can use them all."
He implied that some of the stuff there could be directly used or turned into money.
The Bao Mansion was filled with antiques and treasures amassed by the fake foreigners!
Uncle Liberation Army just casually said she could use them?
How touching, what should she do?
But, even with ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to use them!
The items there, although she wasn't very knowledgeable, she could roughly tell that they were all priceless artifacts.
"No way, the items there are all heirlooms and super treasures!"
How could they be easily sold?
Xia Chuyi shook her head.
Then, Huo Shiqian's lips slightly curved upwards as he asked her, "Heirlooms?"
