Huo Zhenghai was really happy to receive Huo Mian's call…
He knew that forcing a demolition would make Huo Mian submit . It was much easier than getting Shen Jiani to beg her .
"This is why… if poor people don't walk, we can beat them into retreating . If negotiations don't work, then use alternative measures . "
Huo Zhenghai was satisfied with Huo Mian's compromise and therefore stopped the forced demolition and relocation of that area .
His plans were simple: first, force Huo Mian to come back and establish a good relationship with her .
Second, help Huo Mian gain power within the corporation, and help Huo Siyi come back to China; that was an imminent issue he needed to solve .
Finally, and the most important part: when Huo Mian was melted by his fake paternal love, he will propose partnering up with GK .
He would be able to latch onto Qin Chu, who had a powerful background, through Huo Mian, ultimately hitting three birds with one stone…
- Huo Corporation, President's Office -
"President Huo, that's the current situation . " His assistant told Huo Siqian everything, word for word .
Huo Siqian was exhilarated as he played with the mini globe in his hands .
"President Huo, Miss Huo is coming back to help the chairman, how can you still be in the mood to laugh?"
"Of course I'm happy; my little sister Mian is finally coming home…" Huo Siqian said profoundly .
"But she's here as our enemy, she's on Huo Yanyan's side," his female assistant said anxiously .
"No, she's not the enemy, she's the lucky charm . That's all, go back to work . "
"Yes sir . "
After his female assistant left, Huo Siqian slowly got up and watched the cars and pedestrians outside the window .
Huo Zhenghai made a good move, forcing Huo Mian to finally come back . However, Huo Siqian knew that Huo Mian wasn't actually compromising .
She was here for revenge . Huo Siqian knew Huo Mian's temperament the best; she was not someone who would wimp out .
Plus, if she really wanted to solve the demolition problem, Qin Chu could've dealt with it in a matter of minutes . But he hadn't made a move .
This meant that Huo Mian was going to deal with things her own way…
He looked at the skyscrapers afar and reached out his fingers to draw a heart on the tempered glass .
Then, he smiled with a devious charm, "My little sister Mian's birthday is coming soon, what should I give her?"
Huo Mian's birthday was on September 18; ironically, it was the same day as the Mukden Incident .
Every year on that day, alarms would still sound in C City, in remembrance of that incident and what China endured all those years ago .
On the morning of September 17th, Huo Mian received a bunch of presents when she arrived at South Side Recuperation Center .
Everyone knew that she was a diligent person, so they didn't buy her anything expensive . Most of the presents were small fun things .
The nurses bought her a silk scarf that cost a couple dozen yuan, a pair of anti-radiation glasses, and an anti-smog mask .
"Head Nurse, happy birthday in advance . "
"How did you guys know?"
"It's on your profile! Plus, the hospital grants special privileges to employees on the management level on their birthday . I heard that in addition to having the day off, the hospital also gives health supplements, apparently, it's edible bird's nest this year! Tsk tsk, I'm jealous . "
The nurses discussed amongst themselves; Huo Mian smiled, "Thank you for your presents, lunch is on me today! Let's order delivery from Hungry Uncle . "
"Yay, thanks Head Nurse!" The nurses were all really happy .
Hungry Uncle was a famous delivery restaurant; the food was delicious, but a little pricey .
After putting everything away, she had just gotten up from her desk to go on rounds when she saw the young man staying in room 7 outside her door .
"I heard that it's your birthday tomorrow, but you'll have the day off, so I wanted to give you your present today . " Then, the young boy handed her a one-meter-tall stuffed toy . It was in the shape of the scarecrow from League of Legends . It wasn't cute, and a little weird, but Huo Mian liked it because it was a gift from this little boy .
"Thank you, Jiaming . " Huo Mian took the toy .
"I'll be discharged in three days . I'm recovering well, so thank you for taking care of me all this time . Once I go back to school, I will listen to you and study hard . "
"You can do it . "
Huo Mian's mood elevated when she saw the originally rebellious and violent young man grew a beaming smile on his face…
Just then, she received a WeChat notification . Huo Mian looked down at her phone – someone had sent her a red packet…
"Seriously? It's so early, my birthday isn't until tomorrow . " Curious, Huo Mian opened her WeChat to see who this preemptive person was .
