When she returned home, Huo Zhenting and Zhu Ling were already waiting for her.
They had also seen Huo Qixuan on the news today. The couple was happy and proud.
Look, my son was invited by the Chief Executive and is sitting in the first row.
Even Huo Zhenting himself didn't get such treatment.
In fact, Huo Zhenting had wanted to attend this gathering, but he had been too busy recently. Not only did he have to sort out the structure of the British-funded education assets, but he also had to hold a sports exchange meeting.
As the organizer, he had to take the lead and provide a platform for Chinese and foreign athletes to communicate. He was also responsible for receiving the European and African members of the Olympic Committee.
One by one, Huo Zhenting was so busy that he even pulled his wife over to help. However, no matter how busy the couple was today, they had to go home to see their son.
They did not expect their son to have grown to such an extent in such a short period of time.
She felt that if she didn't come back soon, she wouldn't be able to recognize her youngest son.
"Why didn't the two of you do your job? Why did you come back?”Huo Yingdong was a little unhappy. It was a critical period now. Everyone had to brace themselves for the upcoming financial crisis. They could not afford to be careless.
Of course, Huo Yingdong had forgotten about his son.
His precious grandson was so outstanding and capable, and he had a strong sense of home and country. Huo Yingdong liked him more and more. However, things were afraid of comparison. Compared to such an outstanding grandson, his sons seemed to be not up to par, so the more he looked at them, the more annoying they were!
Huo Zhenting smiled bitterly and said,"
"Dad, we came back to see you. You should rest more and don't tire yourself out.”
"I know what my body's condition is like. You guys do your job well and don't make me worry. That's my greatest comfort.”Huo Yingdong waved his hand.
Zhu Ling sat on the sofa at the side and waved at Huo Qixuan. When Huo Qixuan sat down, Zhu Ling reached out and patted his head, her eyes full of love.
"Little Xuan, how have you been recently? Did you miss Mommy?"
"Of course I do. I've been thinking about it day and night. You guys haven't come back for so long.”Huo Qixuan said.
"You little rascal. You said that, but why didn't I see you looking for your mother?”Zhu Ling pointed at Huo Qixuan's forehead.
While the mother and son were whispering to each other, Huo Zhenting was reporting to Huo Yingdong about the Games and the requests of the African and European members of the Olympic Committee.
"Dad, that's the situation. The African committee members are fine. They don't have high requirements. They just need to spend some money. Even the European committee members not only wanted money but also management rights. They were simply asking for an exorbitant price.”Huo Zhenting sighed.
Huo Yingdong remained silent.
After a long time, he raised his head and asked,"Can't we talk about it anymore?"”
"This is their bottom line. If we lower the price any further, they might turn hostile.”Huo Zhenting said seriously.
"Then give it to me!" Huo Yingdong said without hesitation.
Huo Zhenting's eyes flashed with pain as he said,
"Dad, they're robbing us directly. They're no different from robbers. If we give up the management rights so easily, their appetite will only grow bigger and bigger in the future.”
"Sigh!" Huo Yingdong sighed and said,"
"So be it. As long as we can get them to vote for Yanjing, we'll take this loss. No matter what the price is, we must let Yanjing win the right to host the 2008 Olympics.”
"I understand. I'll talk to them again.”Huo Zhenting said.
"Let's not talk about these annoying things. How are your preparations for the acquisition going?”Huo Yingdong asked.
Huo Zhenting began to report on his acquisition preparations.
Huo Yingdong listened attentively from beginning to end. He nodded from time to time and asked for details from time to time.
"Dad, it's getting late. You should go to bed.”After Huo Zhenting reported the situation, he was about to help Huo Yingdong to his room to rest. Unexpectedly, Huo Yingdong slapped his hand away and shouted,
"Xuan 'er, come and help Grandpa!"
Huo Qixuan quickly got up and helped Huo Yingdong to his room to rest.
Huo Zhenting looked at Huo Qixuan and Huo Yingdong as they left and smiled bitterly.
Zhu Ling walked over and patted her husband's shoulder to comfort him.
"Your son is really capable. He has completely lost his father's favor.”Huo Zhenting said.
"Puchi!" Zhu Ling could not help but laugh.
"You're already an adult, yet you're still so childish. Fighting for your son's favor?”
Huo Zhenting did not say anything. He just leaned back on the sofa tiredly and closed his eyes to rest.
Zhu Ling got up and walked behind the sofa to massage her husband's temples.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa is asleep!" Huo Qixuan returned to the living room and whispered.
Huo Zhenting was still leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed. He said lightly,
"Go get me a basin of water and help me rub my feet!”
"Oh, okay!" Huo Qixuan obediently went to the bathroom to get a basin of water.
He could tell that his father wasn't in a good mood right now. He wouldn't provoke him if he could.
It was just washing his feet, and the other party was his father. It was not a big deal.
It was only right and proper for a son to wash his father's feet!
Huo Qixuan easily convinced himself.
