The president came on the way of Zhenxiang

Chapter 54

Huo Rongli's study is very large.

There are bookcases on the entire wall, a huge office desk that shows the identity, and a rocking chair next to it. Of course, there is also a sofa for meeting guests.

After Wu Yan followed him in, he was invited to sit on the sofa.

Huo Rongli went to the table to get the cigarettes, sat down on the single baroque sofa next to Wu Yan, then passed the cigarettes over, and said, "Boss brought them back from abroad, they are very strong, are you used to them? "

Wu Yan waved his hand and said, "Uncle, I don't know how to smoke, thank you."

Huo Rongli smiled, took one out by himself, and put it on his lips.

Seeing Wu Yan, he went to get a lighter, got up halfway, and lit it for him.

His movements are very natural and skillful. In the Wu family, Wu Zifan often asked him to help him light cigarettes. His own son can't be manipulated, only Wu Yan is obedient.

Huo Rongli's expression remained unchanged. After the cigarette was lit, he took a sip, and then looked at Wu Yan who had already sat down again.

He asked, "Where does Xiao Wu work?"

Wu Yan replied, "I haven't gone to work yet, I'm in the first year of graduate school."

Huo Rongli nodded, and asked again, "What about after graduation? What are your plans?"

Wu Yan said briefly, "I'm studying production management, and I want to enter the manufacturing industry."

Huo Rongli glanced at Wu Yan through the faint smoke, and then said, "Well, there are not many young people who want to enter the production workshop now."

Wu Yan smiled, "I really like doing practical work. If I have theoretical knowledge, I will further study it as needed in the future, but in the next few years, doing it will be more important than learning."

Huo Rongli was noncommittal and didn't speak any more. The conversation between the two fell into a state of suspected silence, but not completely.

In this relative silence, Wu Yan couldn't help observing the expression of the industrialist.

Huo Rongli's eyes were looking out of the window, as if he was thinking about something, not all his mind was on this conversation.

With Huo Rongli like this, Wu Yan felt relieved.

I also have time to sort out my messy thoughts since I entered the Huo family's mansion.

The Huo family is indeed very rich in family tradition. Although it has not been a long time since its fortune, only in the last 40 years, Huo Rongli and his wife managed the family very successfully.

Not to mention the outstanding performance of the two sons, even Lin Jing, the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, is also very good at Lin and very successful in her career.

The Huo family's family concept and emphasis on traditional ethics are rare in modern rich merchants' families.

It even made Wu Yan feel incredible that they could accept Huo Zaiyu coming out of the closet.

But it doesn't seem to be surprising. Although the family style of the Huo family is orthodox, the atmosphere is quite good. The husband and wife respect each other, have fun in old age, and rarely teach.

And such a family, can I integrate into it?

Wu Yan couldn't help drawing a question mark in his chest.

He didn't know his biological parents since he was a child, and then he came to the Wu family. It goes without saying that the Wu family's daily life is so chaotic.

As for the concept of family, or the concept of a good family, Wu Yan's mind is empty, only those few vague words, "five good families, respect and love each other".

Those are too unrealistic for him, because he has never experienced it in a single day in his 20-odd years of life.

As a result, sitting in Huo's house now, what he feels the most is unreality.

Are Huo Rongli and his wife really so harmonious?

The old lady really can't be picky about her daughter-in-law?

Also, would Huo Zaiyu really treat herself so well all the time?

Wu Yan felt ashamed of himself for being dark and despicable, but he did feel panicked.

It's too unreal, it feels like everything is beautiful like a scene in a novel, like a show.

It made him feel like he was stepping on the clouds, and he was in a dream.

He even thought that his life experience and this kind of family were totally out of tune, and he should have missed it.

Should Huo Zaiyu find a boy from a family background like Lin Jing to be a better match?

Whether it's with himself, or with this family.

"How many children are there in Xiao Wu's family?"

Hearing this, Wu Yan suddenly came back to his senses, smiled, and said, "Three."

Huo Rongli seemed very interested in this, his eyes flickered slightly, and when he was about to ask again, Wu Yan spoke first.

"I am the adopted boss, and I have a younger brother and younger sister, both of whom are biological."

When he said this, he looked frankly and looked directly at Huo Rongli.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn't surprised, but it wasn't enough for Huo Rongli to show his emotions.

He just nodded and said, "Being the boss is not easy. Zaiqi is more mature and stable than Zaiyu."

Wu Yan didn't answer, but his hand on his knee was clenched into an empty fist.

Huo Rongli then stood up and finished his cigarette.

Wu Yan thought he was going to get another one, but found that he just went to the bookcase.

"I have a few books on production management here, they are very good, you can read them."

When Huo Rongli said this, he didn't mean to ask for opinions or discuss recommendations, it was more like arranging work.

But for some reason, Wu Yan didn't hate it, and even felt a little warm.

In the past, no one of Huo Rongli's age urged him to study or improve in such a tone.

Wu Yan walked quickly to the bookcase and stood beside Huo Rongli.

Huo Rongli moved unhurriedly, his fingers slid across the bookcase, then stopped at a certain place, and took out two books from there.

Wu Yan took it, saw the spine of the book, and found that he had read it before.

When I turned over the inner page, I saw that there were many sketches and even traces of handwriting inside.

He didn't speak anymore, he already had some understanding in his heart.

Looking up and smiling at Huo Rongli, Wu Yan said sincerely, "Thank you, Director Huo."

Huo Rongli noticed the sudden change of address, and couldn't help but look at Wu Yan, but his expression was still peaceful and solemn.

He lit another cigarette, this time himself.

Wu Yan took half a step back and said respectfully, "Chairman, rest, I'm going downstairs first."

Huo Rongli nodded, raised the hand holding the cigarette, and said, "Play more at home, let Zaiyu accompany you around."

Huo Zhai is a big courtyard, if you want to walk around, it really takes some effort.

Wu Yan thanked Huo Rongli, opened the door and went out. When he turned around, he gently closed the door.

After he left, Huo Rongli sat on the rocking chair, rested his head on it, and rubbed the space between his brows with the hand holding the cigarette.

Almost as soon as Wu Yan came down from the stairs, Huo Zaiyu rushed over, taking three steps and two steps up the steps to meet him.

When he got to the deer, he took hold of the person's shoulders, looked left and right, as if checking whether it was full of beard and tail, almost in his mouth, and tasted whether it had become salty or bland.

Seeing how he cared so much, Wu Yan couldn't help laughing, "What are you doing? So nervous?"

Huo Zaiyu raised his eyes, but his voice was low, "Of course I'm nervous, you don't know, when my sister-in-law came home for the first time and came out of my father's study, she said, "I'm more nervous than defending a thesis." "

Then he asked, "Are you not nervous?"

Wu Yan shook his head, "It's okay, my uncle gave me two books."

Huo Zaiyu wanted to show Wu Yan around the mansion.

But Wu Yan said that the school still had something to do in the afternoon and wanted to go back as soon as possible.

When parting, Huo Rongli hadn't left for work, and Mrs. Huo was also taking a nap upstairs, and only Mrs. Huo came out to see them off.

Mrs. Huo took some canned food and dried fruit she made for Wu Yan.

"It's all from the fruit trees in the yard. Take it back, and you two can eat it as snacks."

Wu Yan took it and thanked him with a smile.

Huo Zaiyu looked somewhat unhappy.

His displeasure was not obvious, but his face was slightly cold and he didn't speak much.

But Mrs. Huo knew it at a glance, but she didn't see it at all.

Wu Yan also felt it, so he was even more polite and enthusiastic towards Mrs. Huo.

The two finally got into the car, and the black car drove away from the mansion.

Mrs. Huo stood on the steps and watched them until they left the courtyard.

She turned around and went back, and as soon as she entered the living room, she saw Huo Rongli coming down the stairs.

Seeing that he had changed into his formal attire for going out, Mrs. Huo ordered the servant to serve ginseng tea.

"Drink ginseng tea before leaving. I am busy like a spinning top every day, and my nap is very short. How can my body bear it?"

Huo Rongli listened to her nagging, smiled, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to go out today, bring two cups of tea over, let's drink together."

The husband and wife sat down in the living room, and after the servant brought the ginseng tea, they both avoided it.

Huo Rongli picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, it didn't burn his mouth, it was just right.

He seemed to feel something, put down his tea, reached out and grabbed his wife's hand, patted it, and said, "You have worked hard all these years."

Suddenly saying this, Mrs. Huo's face became a little hot. As an old couple, how many ups and downs they have gone through together, a cup of tea is really nothing.

But she still leaned on Huo Rongli's shoulder and said with a smile, "What's wrong with you today? Have you learned to speak sweet words?"

Huo Rongli didn't answer, but quietly hugged his wife's shoulders, and the two cuddled each other for a long time.

Mrs. Huo didn't take a break at noon. In such a quiet afternoon, with her husband by her side, she couldn't help feeling drowsy and took a nap.

But after only a moment, she woke up again, sat up straight, and said, "Aren't you in a hurry to leave because you have a meeting this afternoon?"

Huo Rongli brought tea to her lips and said, "Be sleepy, go upstairs to sleep later."

Mrs. Huo took the tea, and as soon as she entered it, she heard her husband say, "That child Xiao Wu was adopted."

The teacup was almost unsteady, Madam Huo was a straightforward person, and immediately asked, "Did he say it himself? Or did Zaiyu tell you?"

Huo Rongli said, "Xiao Wu said it."

Mrs. Huo's anger rushed to her face when she saw it.

The tea bowl was placed heavily on the coffee table, and there was a crisp sound of ceramics hitting the table.

"Zai Yu never said that before!"

Then she turned to her husband again, "Your son is a little too confused, this is no small matter."

Huo Rongli was very calm, he said, "Except for this, everything else is fine."

Mrs. Huo was surprised again, she didn't expect Huo Rongli, who always valued her family status, to say such a thing.

At the beginning when the boss said that he had lost a friend, but he hadn't brought him back, the first thing Huo Rongli asked was his family background. He heard that she was the daughter of the Lin family, so he agreed to meet.

But because she knew that her husband had always favored her second child, Mrs. Huo was prepared for her husband's tolerance.

But to be tolerant to this extent still made her feel a little unbelievable.

Mrs. Huo tentatively asked, "Then what do you think? Let them stay together?"

Huo Rongli leaned back on the sofa and said, "You can't stay here, you can see how the second child behaves."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Huo also felt a headache.

My own son, I know best, Huo Zaiyu is a stubborn one, seeing how he treats Wu Yan now, it hurts to the bone, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is spoiled to the limit.

"Well, for the convenience of Xiao Wu's going to school, he bought an apartment opposite the school."

Mrs. Huo said.

Huo Rongli listened quietly without speaking.

Mrs. Huo said again, "When I came back today, Zai Yu asked for a gift for Xiao Wu. I discussed it with the old lady, but I didn't give it right away. When he left, his complexion was not very good, and he looked very unhappy."

Huo Rongli picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and then said, "I'll ask someone to check on Xiao Wu's situation. Don't worry, you and the old lady. The second child is also 30 years old. He's not stupid. Those who are optimistic should not worry about it." Where will it go?"

With that said, he had already stood up and was about to go out.

Mrs. Huo followed, put a coat on him, and said, "Can you not be in a hurry, I don't believe you are not in a hurry."

Huo Rongli smiled, lowered his head to straighten his tie, and said, "It's useless to be anxious. For a big marriage, he still needs someone he likes. I don't think Xiao Wu is the kind of scheming child. Don't think too much about it."

Mrs. Huo took the glove and handed it to him, "I think he is quite smart, I am afraid that Zaiyu's solid eyes will suffer in the future."

Huo Rongli hugged his wife for a while, as if comforting, his face was rare and gentle, "You are also very smart, and I haven't seen you plotting against me."

Mrs. Huo was a little embarrassed, she gave her husband a blank look, and said, "We are friends with each other, it's different."

Huo Rongli still smiled and said, "A smart man is better than a fool. You must have confidence in your son. I'm leaving first, and I'll be back for dinner tonight."

Mrs. Huo nodded, then remembered something, and said anxiously, "When you are free, talk to the second child again. Even if the family is poor, I don't want this kind of relationship at home to be too complicated."

Huo Rongli pushed open the door, didn't look back, just answered.

On the way back, Wu Yan clearly felt Huo Zaiyu's low pressure.

When the car was waiting for a red light, Wu Yan leaned over, put a touch on his shoulder, and called him softly, "Brother."

Huo Zaiyu's face was down all the way, and finally he looked up.

He raised his hand, touched Wu Yan's face, and asked, "What are you doing, acting like a baby all of a sudden?"

"Who acted like a baby?"

Wu Yan refuted him, but his actions were the opposite. His cheek was touched very comfortably, and he leaned on Huo Zaiyu's arm and didn't want to wake up until the signal light changed and he had to sit up straight.

Look at how well-behaved and sweet he is.

Huo Zaiyu couldn't help but sighed.

When Wu Yan heard this, before his brain could react, his heart ached.

He suddenly realized that he really liked Huo Zaiyu, not just talking about it, even when he arrived, he couldn't see that he was a little bit unhappy.

Wu Yan just laughed, and said in a very relaxed tone, "I don't have to go to school in the afternoon, but let's go shopping together later, and I'll cook something delicious for you in the evening."

Huo Zaiyu didn't speak, but nodded.

Wu Yan stared at his profile, and said, "It's okay if we go to the movies, I'll check the tickets."

Speaking of taking out the phone.

While looking it up, I said, "I want to watch a comedy, how about you?"

Huo Zaiyu didn't speak immediately, but when Wu Yan looked at him, he spoke.

That said, it has nothing to do with the movie.

He said, "Xiaolu, if I propose now, will you agree?"
