Two magnificent chandeliers hang from the high ceiling, and the wall sconces are dazzling.
Huo Xiao was sitting on the main seat, holding a cigarette between his fingers.
These past few days have been very busy with either meetings or dinner parties.
His energy has always been precious, and he has no time to think about those romantic things.
Today we hired a partner who was originally a local official and later went into business.
It didn't matter that he was late, but not only did he come, but he also had several women behind him.
At such an old age, I don’t know how to take it easy.
Huo Xiao stood up with a smile and shook hands with him.
The woman quietly raised her head and looked at Huo Xiao.
The bright light shined on his handsome face, making it look more three-dimensional and clear-cut. He had a straight nose and thin lips. Although the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, his eyes were not smiling. He looked a bit arrogant, cold and unapproachable.
However, this is understandable.
Those who can achieve his current achievements usually have to be middle-aged men in their forties or fifties, not to mention his outstanding appearance.
He has this proud capital.
It would be more interesting to conquer such a man...
The woman smiled charmingly, picked up the wine glass and walked up to him.
"Mr. Huo, let me toast you."
Huo Xiao's eyes swept over the woman's body.
She was wearing a green satin strapless skirt, with black hair, red lips, and long eyeliner. She had a Hong Kong style feel, and her appearance was not inferior even if she stood next to a star.
The raised face is confident, bright and somewhat shy, and the expression is just right.
Huo Xiao saw greed and desire in her eyes that maybe even she didn't realize.
He had seen this look on the faces of countless people since he was a child.
Sometimes he feels that being too sharp is not a good thing.
The bustle in the world is all for the sake of coming, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for the sake of going away.
Like money, like fame and wealth, it is not a bad thing.
Most people in this world are like this, including himself.
Anyone who wastes his time and asks for trouble is a fool.
His eyes stayed on her face for a long time. A blush appeared on the woman's face, her heart was pounding, and she took the initiative to introduce herself.
"Mr. Huo, you can call me Cynthia..."
The liquid in the glass glowed coldly, and Huo Xiao picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.
If he likes such a woman, I think his life will be much more comfortable.

Mingyao got off work very early today. After returning home, Mingyao took a shower and wrapped her wet hair in a towel to dry naturally.
Feeling a little hungry, she took out a box of yogurt from the refrigerator, tore open the package and poured some cereal and blueberries into it for dinner.
Mingyao was reading the short story she just bought and eating yogurt with a spoon.
The phone lights up and a message is sent.
[On the occasion of our wedding, we sincerely invite you to witness our happiness together. I hope you will come and be prosperous. We are waiting for you at Yuankang Hotel on November 19th. 】
Following is a link to an electronic invitation. Click on it and there will be wedding photos inside.
The woman is Ai Qi and the man is Bai Cong.
Aiqi is her college classmate and also lives in the same dormitory. The two of them have a good relationship, and they basically spend time together in class, eating and hanging out.
But later on, Mingyao went to graduate school and Ai Qi directly joined the work force, so the contact between the two inevitably decreased.
The male partner, Bai Cong, also went to the same university as them. The two began to fall in love when they were sophomores, and their relationship was very good.
But when they graduated, they were in different places due to work. Aiqi was in Xinghai City, while Bai Cong returned to his hometown. The two were separated for a period of time. During that time, Aiqi's circle of friends was always dark.
Now it seems that the cultivation has finally been achieved, and Mingyao is happy for both of them.
She put down her spoon and picked up her phone to type back a message.
-Congratulations to you and happy wedding.
Within a few seconds, the message from the other side was sent.
[Ai Qi: Ah Yaoyao, long time no see! Have you graduated? 】
[Mingyao: Yeah, it’s been a while since graduation]
[Aiqi: Are you also working in Xinghai City now? Then be sure to come to the wedding! Otherwise I will be angry! 】
[Mingyao: Okay, I’ll give you a big red envelope when the time comes]
[Aiqi: Hehe, you’re welcome then]
[Ai Qi: By the way, Yaoyao, do you have any photos of your graduation from college? I wanted to make a video in chronological order to be played at the wedding, but I lost the original copy...]
Mingyao thought about it. She took a lot of photos and videos with her camera during graduation and during her post-graduation trip, and saved them on the mobile hard drive.
That portable hard drive...
It seemed that she had brought it to Xinghai City and placed it in a foreign-style building.
She left in a hurry, packing only important documents, photos and the letter Huo Yan had written to her. Many of her sundries, books and notes were not taken away.
Brother probably didn't clean them up as garbage...
Mingyao decided to go back later to clean up all her things and save herself from taking up other people's space.
[Mingyao: It should still be there, wait for me to find it for you]
[Aiqi: Okay! Then I’ll trouble you! As soon as possible! 】
[Ai Qi: By the way, Yaoyao, do you have any plans to find a partner now? 】
[Aiqi: I have a lot of high-quality resources here, hehe! 】
Mingyao was stunned while holding the phone.
She only told her closest family members about her marriage to Huo Yan. Many classmates and friends actually didn't know that she was married...
Feeling a tingling sensation in her heart, she closed her eyes and ended the conversation with a few simple words to Aiqi.
...
At night, the car stopped in front of the building.
The driver looked at the man who was resting with his eyes closed in the rearview mirror and coughed lightly.
The man opened his eyes, still smelling of alcohol, gently rubbed his temples and looked out the window.
"Huh? Why are you here?"
The driver said nothing, wondering, didn't you say you wanted to come back here when you came out of the hotel?
Huo Xiao frowned, opened the door and got out of the car, "Forget it, let's go."
His steps were a little slow. He drank a little too much today, but he was not drunk yet.
Wine is indeed a good thing.
Drinking it can make people feel light and energetic, and they won't think about unhappy things.
Entering the first floor, the room was dark.
Huo Xiao did not turn on the chandelier, but only turned on a small lamp, which glowed with a faint yellow light.
He lay lazily on the sofa, holding a cigarette between his fingers but not lighting it.
His eyes were staring at the cup on the coffee table without focus, seemingly in a daze, but in fact he was considering the long-thought-out plan in his mind.
There was still a trace of hesitation in my heart.
He is not an indecisive person.
But once you take this step, there is no turning back.
The turbulent thoughts in his mind were tangled up like a ball of yarn. Huo Xiao felt irritated and leaned over to find a lighter.
Huo Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he frowned as he was dazzled by the dazzling light.
"Huh?"
A thin female voice sounded.
Huo Xiao opened his eyes instantly and glanced towards the door.
The woman was standing at the door wearing a windbreaker, her long hair was a little messy and spread over her shoulders. She seemed to have just taken a shower, and a sweet fragrance was blown into Huo Xiao's nose by the wind.
She looked at herself in surprise, her clear eyes were very bright at night, her face was a bit embarrassed, and her pale pink lips were pursed.
"...Brother, are you at home too?"
I seemed to hear a 'crack' in my ears, the sound of a string breaking.
Huo Xiao slowly stood up from the sofa, his breathing became heavier and his narrow eyes were dim and unclear.
he knows.
None of them can escape unscathed today.
