"Dad, if you're tired, take a rest. You don't have to push yourself so hard.”Huo Qixuan said as he washed Huo Zhenting's feet.
"I want to rest too, but reality doesn't give me the chance to rest.”Huo Zhenting closed his eyes, his voice filled with exhaustion.
Zhu Ling heard her husband's words and secretly sighed.
"Is it still about the Olympic bid?" Huo Qixuan seemed to have thought of something.
"That's right. Last time, we made countless preparations and paid a huge price. In the end, we were only one vote away.”Huo Zhenting gritted his teeth in anger!
If the difference in votes was too big, he could still accept it.
However, the difference of one vote was simply heartbreaking.
Just a little bit, just a little bit.
When Huo Zhenting first found out about the voting results, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Huo Yingdong fell seriously ill because of this, which left a huge hidden danger in his body. He couldn't make it to the opening day of the Yanjing Olympics.
After this incident, the Hunts had suffered a huge blow.
To the Hunts, the decline in wealth caused by the suppression of the British Hong Kong government was nothing.
According to Huo Yingdong, as long as he was still alive, he could always earn back his wealth.
Therefore, Huo Yingdong was not bothered by the setbacks.
Only the failure of the previous Olympic bid had almost caused Huo Yingdong to be unable to recover!
This failure caused the continent to lose a few more years.
The Hunts had also used several years to recover their strength and prepare to regroup and continue to work hard for the Olympic bid.
"Dad, don't worry. It's only a matter of time before Yanjing wins the Olympic bid.”Huo Qixuan comforted her.
"Of course, I believe that this will happen sooner or later. However, Little Xuan, you have to understand that what the mainland needs most now is time. The sooner the Olympic Games are held, the sooner the mainland can integrate into the international community and inject more fresh vitality into the mainland. Time will always be our Achilles heel.”Huo Zhenting's tone was downcast.
Huo Qixuan felt a little sour in his heart.
Huo Zhenting's words made sense.
The earlier the mainland hosted the Olympics, the earlier it would be able to open up the situation.
Although the 2008 Olympics was a huge success, it was the result of countless people's hard work, not to mention that 2008 was the year with the most disasters in China.
The earthquake, the snow disaster, the Wall Street economic crisis, and all the other huge difficulties had surrounded China. China had gritted its teeth and shouldered all the difficulties without delaying the progress of the Olympic Games.
Because everyone knew that the Olympics could not be lost. Even if the country was facing many difficulties and natural disasters, they could not let anything happen to the Olympics.
If they could host the Olympics earlier and avoid the disastrous year of 2008, China would have more time to develop itself and create an even greater economic miracle.
If the Olympics had been held in 2000, the world would have known about China in 2000, just like how they had opened up the world in 2008.
In fact, China would have joined the World Trade Organization earlier, and they would not have to pay such a high price in exchange for the opportunity to join the World Trade Organization.
The Hunts believed that the mainland would recover sooner or later. There was no doubt about this.
However, it was still the same sentence. Time was needed. More time was needed!
When Huo Qixuan finished washing his feet, Huo Zhenting was already asleep on the sofa.
Zhu Ling covered her husband with a blanket and waved at Huo Qixuan softly.
Huo Qixuan poured the water from the basin and walked to the stairs. Zhu Ling held his hand and returned to the room.
"Your grandfather fell seriously ill because of his failure to bid for the Olympics. He almost died. Your father was frightened, but he is the eldest son of the Hunts and has to take responsibility. At that time, you were still young and did not know the dangers involved. We did not show it in front of you.”
When they returned to Huo Qixuan's room, Zhu Ling held his hand and cried as she explained.
"Your uncles all want to come back and stay by your grandfather's side, but your father doesn't allow it. At this critical moment, the Huo family's assets outside must not have any more problems. Be it the British Hong Kong government or the four major families, they are all looking for an opportunity to annex us.”
"If we can't stabilize the situation, we won't have a chance to turn things around. Your uncles didn't listen and were beaten up by your father.”
"Fortunately, God has blessed us. Your grandfather woke up and let them all go back. Only then did the family stabilize. Your father threw himself at your grandfather's bedside and cried. That was the most vulnerable moment I've ever seen your father.”
As Zhu Ling said this, tears began to fall like rain.
Huo Qixuan lowered his head and remained silent.
"Your father put in a lot of energy and effort in this bid to prevent the previous situation from happening again. Your grandfather only lived for the continent in his life. For your grandfather's ideals, your father forced himself to do his best.”
Zhu Ling looked at Huo Qixuan with relief.
"Fortunately, we have you in our family. Qixuan, you've grown up and have the ability to help the family share the burden. Just now, your grandfather didn't let your father help him, but asked you to help him. This is because your grandfather cares about your father. He hopes that you can take over your father's burden as soon as possible and support this family so that your father doesn't have to work so hard anymore.”
