When Xu Huan heard this, he scratched his head in confusion and a hint of anxiety appeared on his face. “Brother Huo, what do you mean by that? What about them testing us? Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?”
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. “Instruct the staff members in charge of handling this matter from the company. There’s 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 hasn’t announced the company’s information to the public. We’ll quietly wait for him to make a move.”
Upon hearing Huo Xuan’s words, Xu Huan frowned and continued to ask worriedly, “Brother Huo, we can’t just leave this matter alone, can we? It’s only been one afternoon and we’ve already lost 500 million. If this continues, even if we have money, we won’t be able to handle it!”
“Don’t worry, we’ve already reached this number. The losses we’ll suffer next shouldn’t increase anymore. The other party’s goal isn’t the Huo family. Their actions this time should be targeted at me. Let them ignore it. I want to see what that person wants!” 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 Ran’s house. As Meng Ran’s 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 Ran’s 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 Ran’s 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 couldn’t 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, “Little Bamboo, who is this classmate of yours? They are so willing to spend to entertain guests at home! Looking at this scene, I’ve
never seen so many exquisite dishes even at the banquets in Beijing!”
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, “Our house is a little simple and crude. The conditions in this small county city are not as good as Cloud City. If there’s anything
lacking with our hospitality, please forgive us.”
Huo Xuan had also taken a seat in the dining room under Father Meng’s arrangements. Upon hearing Mother Meng’s words, he smiled lightly and replied politely, “No, no. You’re treating us like outsiders by saying this.”
Mo Zhu agreed with his words and said, “This visit was too sudden. I’ve troubled you.”
As she spoke, Mo Zhu also carefully sized up the layout of Meng Ran’s house. Indeed, everything was as she had expected. The young lady’s family was really rich.
Seeing that everyone was already seated, Father Meng happily invited everyone to eat. “These are all home-cooked dishes that Ranran’s mother usually makes. The few of you must be hungry after sitting in the car for so long. Hurry up and try these dishes!”
‘When 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. “Sister Mo, quickly try the braised pork my mom made. It’s delicious. I’ve been eating it since I was young. I crave it even after eating it for the previous
meal!”
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..
