Ch 311: Brother’s Extra ━ Written from Brother’s Perspective

People, ah, should not easily set flags, otherwise, they will easily get slapped in the face.

The Huo Xingye of the previous day still sneered at love and marriage, and the Huo Xingye of the next day was about to personally verify the “fragrant” law.

“President Huo, the Qin Family Member has arrived.” Xue Ning’s expression was a little strange.

Huo Xingye glanced at him, “Speak directly if you have something to say, don’t hesitate.”

Xue Ning coughed lightly, “The contact person has changed. I heard it’s the Qin Family’s eldest Miss, seems like a very capable person.”

Huo Xingye’s eyes were indifferent, he raised his eyes to look at him, “What’s the problem?”

Xue Ning lowered his eyes, not daring to look into his eyes, “The Qin Family’s eldest Miss seems to be interested in you. This time, she’s not only here for cooperation but also for marriage.”

Huo Xingye didn’t hesitate for even a second, and scoffed, commenting: “Wishful thinking.” He withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the documents, only feeling like he was wasting time, “The Qin Family’s cooperation will be your responsibility.”

Xue Ning didn’t dare to say anything more, responded, and went out.

Inside the VIP reception room, a woman wearing a white suit, with long, straight black hair, delicate features, sharp eyebrows, and a strong “older sister” vibe. Behind her stood a short-haired, beautiful assistant, who looked very capable.

“President Qin, sorry for the wait.” Xue Ning said with a polite smile, “The materials are ready, let’s begin.”

Qin Yuexi glanced behind him and raised her eyes to ask, “Where’s Huo Xingye? Afraid to see people?”

Xue Ning secretly grimaced. This Qin Family’s eldest Miss is really remarkable, she’s the first to dare to say that about the family head in front of him.

He coughed lightly, lowered his eyes and said, “The family head is busy and temporarily unable to get away. It’s the same if I come to discuss cooperation, I can fully represent the family head.”

“Is that so?” Qin Yuexi snorted, “Can you also represent marriage matters?”

Xue Ning chuckled awkwardly, “You and the family head shouldn’t be at that stage yet.”

Qin Yuexi avoided answering, “Have Huo Xingye come out, the things I want to talk about, you can’t make the decision.”

Since she had said it to this extent, Xue Ning could only close the door and go out, “Then please wait a moment, I’ll have someone bring you another pot of tea.”

Xue Ning went straight to Huo Xingye’s office, stared at him and sighed, “Family Head, I can help you with work matters, but with romance, I’m really powerless.”

Huo Xingye continued to process the documents as if he hadn’t heard anything.

“You handle that eldest Miss of the Qin Family yourself, I can’t do it.” Xue Ning glanced at the time, “I still have to go to the branch company, I’ll leave first.”

Xue Ning didn’t wait for him to respond, pushed the door open and went out.

Huo Xingye finished signing the documents in his hand and clicked his tongue, “Troublesome.”

Qin Yuexi drank two pots of tea in the reception room before Huo Xingye arrived late.

Neither of them looked at each other. The little assistant behind Qin Yuexi pushed up her glasses and cautiously glanced at her own President Qin, feeling uneasy. She had been following President Qin for almost three years, and thought she knew President Qin quite well, but she really didn’t understand today’s operation.

Clearly, she came to discuss cooperation, so how did it turn into marriage talks?

“Are there any other problems with the contract?” Huo Xingye sat down on the sofa opposite her, his voice deep and cold.

Qin Yuexi put down her teacup, raised her eyes to size up Huo Xingye, unable to hide the amazement in her eyes.

Previously, at a business cocktail party, she had seen Huo Xingye from afar once. At that time, she understood two phrases: “surrounded by stars” and “a crane standing among chickens.” In a hurry, Huo Xingye left a very deep impression on her.

Now seeing him again, and at such close range, Qin Yuexi was even more unable to hide her infatuation, but… she smiled bitterly in her heart, Huo Xingye, a person standing at the peak of power and wealth, what kind of woman hasn’t he seen? The only difference between her and those people is probably that she has a Qin Family behind her that is still presentable.

Provided that the Qin Family fully belongs to her first.

Qin Yuexi took a deep breath, “I have another business deal to discuss with you.”

Huo Xingye was uninterested, “Tell me about it.”

“The Qin Family.” Qin Yuexi asked, “Is President Huo interested in the Qin Family?”

Huo Xingye raised his eyebrows, “As far as I know, you are not in charge of the Qin Family.”

Qin Yuexi nodded and smiled, “That’s how it is now, but as long as you are willing to marry me, I guarantee that the Qin Family will be my dowry.”

Huo Xingye hooked his lips, the smile not reaching his eyes, “Not interested.”

Qin Yuexi’s eyelashes trembled, she pursed her lips and didn’t speak. Her back was very straight, as if she was trying to hold on to something.

The assistant’s heart ached when she saw this, but she didn’t dare to speak rashly, she could only look at President Huo pleadingly, hoping that Huo Xingye would have a moment of conscience.

Huo Xingye lost his patience, tapped his index finger on the sofa armrest, and said in a cold voice, “Do you still want to sign the contract?”

Qin Yuexi waved her hand, and the assistant quickly stepped forward to spread out the contract, “The specific details have been revised, President Huo, please take a look again.”

Huo Xingye flipped through it twice, raised his hand and signed his name, then got up without wasting a second, “Happy cooperation, I have a meeting to attend, excuse me.” He nodded politely, took a long stride and went out the door.

After the door closed, Qin Yuexi’s back suddenly bent, she closed her eyes in embarrassment, her breathing rapid and trembling.

She was born as a little princess of a wealthy family, everything had been smooth sailing since she was a child, she could have whatever she wanted, and even her father promised her that she could make her own decisions about her marriage, and he would never force her into a political marriage.

She had always felt that she was very happy.

But all of this collapsed after her father had a cerebral hemorrhage and was hospitalized. As soon as the news of her father fainting in the office and being sent to the hospital broke out, the Qin Corporation’s stock price began to fall. She was ordered to take on the responsibility in a crisis, and those shareholders on the board of directors not only didn’t help, but also took the opportunity to rob the group’s control.

Surrounded by enemies on all sides, Qin Yuexi could only use herself as a bargaining chip, and use the Qin Corporation as a bargaining chip. In short, the Qin Corporation must not fall into the hands of those shareholders! It’s a pity… Huo Xingye simply didn’t care.

“President Qin.” The assistant said with some reluctance, “Manager Zhong has invited you to dinner at Yage tonight.”

“I know.” Qin Yuexi calmed down for two seconds, and when she opened her eyes, all the vulnerability on her body had faded away, “Let’s go.”

After Huo Xingye finished the meeting, it was already off-work hours. He had a headache from the stupidity of the project manager and had no appetite for dinner at all. He went straight back to his office, and just as he opened the document, his phone rang.

Huo Xingye clicked his tongue, picked up the phone and glanced at it, but his eyes instantly softened, “Mom.”

Gu Qingyin’s energetic voice came from the microphone, “Are you off work? Come over for dinner! Third Oldest’s wife is back.”

“Okay.” Huo Xingye closed the document, and asked as he walked out, “Where are you?”

Gu Qingyin: “At Yage.”

Huo Xingye drove himself, and arrived at Yage in less than half an hour. Before entering, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in the corner of his eye, but when he looked more closely, it was gone.

He frowned, went straight into Yage, and went up to the private room on the third floor.

At the same time, outside Yage, Qin Yuexi took a deep breath, as if she was going to the battlefield, and said in a deep voice, “Let’s go in.”
