Chapter 796:1 Want to Share Father’s Worries
Editor: Henyee Translations
Clearly, the person on the other end of the phone was not someone he could afford to offend.
After Huo Qiuguang’s repeated assurances, the call finally ended after a long and torturous two minutes.
The sound of the end of the call came from the phone. Only then did Huo Qiuguang slowly open it and stare at the screen that had already returned to the initial interface.
The originally fawning expression on his face became tense because of this. He gritted his teeth and increased his strength. Clearly, he couldn’t control the surging anger in his heart.
“Damn it!”
He suddenly threw the phone away.
The originally beautiful cell phone fell to the ground so hard that the screen without any buffer instantly shattered. Then, it slid for a distance and lay there quietly. Huo Ya, who had just pushed open the office door, saw it and immediately felt a little pitiful.
However, compared to the cell phone, she was more concerned about her father’s attitude.
“Dad?” Huo Ya braced herself and spoke carefully. She popped her head out of the office door and carefully looked inside.
Huo Qiuguang was sitting behind his desk with his head lowered, making it impossible to see clearly. His eyes were just closed quietly, making people feel fear and not dare to approach him.
Huo Qiuguang, who was originally unable to suppress his anger, was feeling frustrated and angry at this moment. He wondered who was so blind to barge in. However, the moment he heard his daughter’s voice, he restrained his anger and suppressed a smile as he looked in the direction of the office door. He saw Huo Ya standing at the door timidly, clearly afraid of him.
Not to mention anything else, Huo Qiuguang had always doted on his daughter. Therefore, when he saw that Huo Ya was frightened by him, he hurriedly composed himself and waved at his daughter to sit over.
“What time is it? Why aren’t you home yet?”
Huo Qiuguang couldn’t help but say something when he saw his daughter running over.
“Even if you work hard, you should know your limits. Don’t tire yourself out. You’ll only regret it when you’re old. Moreover, your father is still sitting here.”
Looking at Huo Ya sitting in front of him, Huo Qiuguang sighed. It was rare for him to show so much concern for his daughter.
Perhaps it was because he had become old recently, but when he realized that his daughter would come to the Finance Department from time to time and start working seriously, he actually felt a little gratified.
After all, they were different in age and felt different when they saw things.
Huo Ya was a little nervous from his words. She couldn’t help but clasp her hands under the table.
Faced with her father’s concern, Huo Ya was clearly at a loss. Fortunately, her ability to adapt was not bad, so she quickly agreed.
“I just want to help Father share your burdens. I feel that you’ve been so tired recently.”
As soon as Huo Ya said this, Huo Qiuguang, who was originally a little angry, immediately felt much better.
As a parent, he couldn’t help but feel a little happy when he heard his child say this. He felt a sense of security as if she was thinking for him.
“Daddy isn’t at the point of needing your help to hold up the fort yet.” Huo Qiuguang took the initiative to reach out and rub his daughter’s head.
However, Huo Ya’s considerate attitude caused him to feel melancholic, so Huo Qiuguang couldn’t help but sigh heavily.
“It’s just that a lot has indeed happened in our Finance Department recently.”
After the previous leak of the materials, Huo Qiuguang had strengthened his management, but this didn’t seem to be of much use. After that, extremely similar incidents happened one after another, and the nature of the incidents became more and more serious.
If it was only a small fight previously, it had already touched the interests and cake of some people later. It was also because of this that he received the call today and was scolded by the person on the other end of the phone.
Although Huo Qiuguang had been in the Finance Department for decades and was about to retire, he didn’t know if he could live a stable life.
Thinking of the recent incidents, even the knowledgeable Huo Qiuguang couldn’t help but sigh.
“There might be a transfer of personnel to the Finance Department in the next few days. You can follow me and learn more.”
In the end, Huo Qiuguang was still thinking for his daughter.
After all, he was about to retire and would have to give up his position soon. With Huo Ya’s current ability, she definitely couldn’t replace him.
Thinking of the various events that had happened in the company recently, even Huo Qiuguang should have suspected that there was definitely a traitor. This thorough investigation could be used to change a group of people he trusted to come in and help his daughter. This was good too. It would be easier for him to support his daughter in the future.
Huo Ya’s heart tightened at his sigh, so she hurriedly lowered her head and forced a calm expression. She only hoped that her father didn’t notice anything and didn’t suspect her.
Fortunately, Huo Qiuguang was thinking about something, so he didn’t notice his daughter’s abnormal actions.
To be honest, he had been thinking about taking sides recently.
Now, the Huo Corporation was clearly divided into two factions. One was the new force on Huo Yichen’s side, and at the same time, it represented a portion of young people who had just joined the company. The other faction was some wily old foxes, slippery ones, and the employees who had worked in the company for many years were more inclined to stand on Xu Dong’s side.
Huo Qiuguang naturally knew Xu Dong. Instead of saying that he knew him, it seemed a little inappropriate. It was better to say that Xu Dong’s name was like thunder to Huo Qiuguang.
The other party’s sly old fox style and image had long been engraved in everyone’s hearts. Even Huo Qiuguang felt that this person was unfathomable.
However, when he thought of the current situation and how Huo Yichen didn’t seem to intend to leave a way out for old fellows like them, Huo Qiuguang sighed heavily and saw the only path in front of him waving at him.
He had no choice.
A few days later, Yan Xiu’s exhibition arrived as scheduled.
This exhibition had been planned for nearly a month. At the same time, this was also Yan Xiu’s first exhibition in so many years. Therefore, many people had long been looking forward to snatching the invitation.
This has also become the most popular topic in the upper-class circle recently.
“Did you get that invitation?”
“That’s for sure. We’ll definitely see many people this time.”
“That thing is really difficult to snatch. I looked for a few people in a row but couldn’t snatch it. In the end, I still spent a high price to buy it. It cost me a lot of money…”
“Then you’re really generous. But that’s true. The invitation this time is indeed something.”
“It’s said to be an art exhibition, but how many people are really after art? Everyone knows.”
Similar conversations had happened many times.
Although in Yan Xiu’s eyes, it was an exhibition about his work, in the eyes of many people in the upper-class society, this was the first time the four young masters of the Murong Family had held such a “party”. They naturally had to give them enough face and attend.
As for the limited invitation letters that had been sold for an astronomical price, no matter how expensive it was, they had to get it.
After all, at the thought that they might be able to climb up to one of the people who would attend the banquet this time, they knew that many people who were not of this class also began to force their heads to squeeze in.
As long as they could talk to a few big shots and build a relationship, the money used to buy the invitation was not worth mentioning.
However, Yan Xiu didn’t know about this. He had been obediently preparing for the exhibition. These few days, he had been cooped up in the studio and started to focus on his work again..
