Huo Yao asked: [Who’s number is this?]

Min Yu replied: [Our mother.]

Huo Yao went speechless: […]

Huo Yao rubbed her brow. Before long, a red dot appeared on her WeChat. Someone had added her number to their account.

She paused briefly before she tapped on the red dot. She could promptly see a new user ID in the dialog box bearing the same name as the business card.

Huo Yao did not know what to write.

She could sense a headache coming on as she added the number to her contacts.

She glanced at her phone book briefly before she sent a smiley face emoticon and said hello.

Nie Su had seen her future daughter-in-law once previously. In her impression, Huo Yao was a nice, kind-hearted young lady.

Min Yu had mentioned that Huo Yao had trouble writing her thesis, so she sent a few text messages to give her some tips.

Nie Su followed up with one more text message: [If you still have trouble with your paper, just get Yu to bring you over. I can help you in person.]

Huo Yao scratched her head and promptly thought of a thousand ways to kill Min Yu for doing this to her. After some time, she replied to Nie Su: [Okay.]

The moment Nie Su heard back from Huo Yao, she called her son and made him promise to bring Huo Yao over to the old residence for dinner.

Min Yu raised his brow. “Did she really say okay?”

Nie Su replied huffily. “Did you have to make her sound bad? She’s a nice girl.”

Min Yu pondered for a couple of seconds. “Fine then.”

After hanging up the phone, he sent Huo Yao a text message. A red exclamation mark appeared on his WeChat shortly after he sent it.

[The other party has turned on friend verification. You are not her friend, so please request verification first…]

Min Yu went speechless.

The next morning at 9:00 am, Qi Hui went to the meeting punctually. When he arrived, Wei Yong was not there yet.

He sat in the private room waiting for Wei Yong to arrive.

Wei Yong finally arrived at 9:30 am. “Sorry. The traffic was bad.”

The assistant stood beside him and looked around cautiously.

Qi Hui naturally did not mind. He simply smiled and shook his head. “Don’t worry about it. I only just got here anyway. What would you like to drink, Mr. Wei? I will call for the waiter.”

Wei Yong waved his hand. “No thanks. I have to get somewhere later, so let’s cut to the chase.”

Qi Hui could tell that Wei Yong was a very busy man, so he wasted no time. He retrieved the authorization agreement from Liu Qian and said, “Sure thing. Please sign on this.”

Qi Hui handed Wei Yong the document as he spoke.

When Qi Hui handed Wei Yong the document, Wei Yong frowned. He quickly read it before he put it down on the table without signing it. He simply asked. “Mr. Qi, did you bring the official stamp?”

“Yes, I did.” Wei Yong had texted Qi Hui yesterday telling him to come with the official stamp, but Qi Hui could not wrap his mind around it.

Wei Yong nodded. He turned to gesture to his assistant. “Something’s wrong with the authorization agreement. You have to use my version.”

“Is something wrong?” Qi Hui was caught by surprise. He was at a loss. Before he came over, he checked to confirm that the paperwork was in order.

Wei Yong acknowledged politely.

Wei Yong’s assistant took out the authorization agreement and handed it to Qi Hui.

Qi Hui glanced at Wei Yong before he lowered his head and looked at the agreement in his hand. The more he read the agreement, the more startled he felt.

Before he was done reading the document, Qi Hui raised his head and said in surprise, “Mr. Wei, is there some mistake with the authorization agreement?”
