Huo Hongzheng, the first Huo family member introduced in the 800-page PPT.
He is Huo Zhiyan's biological father, and he is now the most powerful person in the Huo family.
Although he is 58 years old and is approaching his sixties, there is no trace of aging on his face, especially his eyes, which are exactly the same as Huo Zhiyan.
As soon as he left the corridor, his sharp eyes scanned everyone present.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lu Anzhi always felt that he stayed on her for an extra moment. It was very short, but impressive.
Behind Huo Hongzheng were two young men, both of about the same size and shape. The one walking at the back was a little thinner.
These two are Huo Zhiyan's half-brothers. The eldest is Huo Mingxiao. The company he founded has a market value of tens of billions and is still on the rise.
Next up, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, was Huo Mingchrome, who had an entertainment company under his name and had only come to prominence in recent years.
After the men sat down, two well-dressed young women came out.
The elder sister-in-law Qi Ruoyan has a daughter and is currently a full-time housewife.
The other is Huo Mingchrome’s official girlfriend, international supermodel Zhai Li. Although she quit the supermodel circle after the high-profile official announcement with her boyfriend, she is still active on the short video platform, often showing off her wealth and live streaming to sell goods.
When the group of people walked to the table, they felt as if the creative team was attending a film festival and walking on the red carpet.
Huo Hongzheng knew etiquette very well and knew that it would be very rude to be the first to arrive late due to personal matters, so he immediately led his juniors to the main table to apologize to the old lady.
The two young masters of the Huo family are tall and straight, with handsome features, and they are also very humble following behind them.
But from the beginning to the end, the family's eyes were fixed on the master and the wife, and they did not give any of it to Huo Zhiyan and his wife who were sitting beside them.
After everyone was seated, Mrs. Huo's tense face finally softened.
Lu Anzhi watched from a distance as she turned sideways and chatted with Huo Mingxiao for a few words, then her eyes flew towards him with a swipe of her eyes, clearly written with ridicule and contempt.
I was already feeling depressed after eating this meal, but when someone saw me like this, I felt even more angry.
"Huo Zhiyan!" She pulled the man next to her who was looking at his phone: "I always feel that Mrs. Huo has been looking at me all night. Did I offend her somewhere?"
She was talking to herself and didn't notice Huo Zhiyan's expression darkening.
After a while, Huo Zhiyan put away his phone and said in a deep voice: "I'm going to the backyard later. You'd better stay with grandma at all times. Don't wander around and wait for me to come back."
In the second half of the family dinner, the host basically raises his glass and toasts symbolically.
Huo Hongzheng took his wife and two sons together, as if rushing to a party, socializing very quickly, and they were all finished in a short time.
Then he took Huo Mingxiao to the backyard to talk about things.
Lu Anzhi didn't know what they were talking about specifically. She only knew that Huo Zhiyan seemed to have been called over.
There was a lot to eat at the whole banquet, but Lu Anzhi always felt that she was not full. Especially after Huo Zhiyan left, the cramped feeling became more and more obvious.
She had always felt that she was shameless, but she was still shocked by such a big scene.
It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I feel out of place.
She could listen to the grandparents at the same table except when they gossiped about their children. She knew nothing about other operas, entertainment, health care, and jewelry, so sitting among them felt like sitting on pins and needles.
But at this time, Mrs. Huo took her daughter over to congratulate the old lady on her birthday.
Although the old lady doesn't like Mu Qing, she is very kind to all her grandchildren, especially Huo Shiyu. She is the only girl among her peers and has been raised as a treasure since she was a child.
"Grandma, I wish you good luck and longevity, becoming younger and more beautiful every day!" Huo Shiyu came over with a red wine glass and inserted it directly in front of Lu Anzhi.
With a squeeze, Lu Anzhi was squeezed out by half of her body.
When the old lady saw her precious granddaughter coming, she was just happy and didn't pay attention to anything else for a moment: "Shiyu, you graduated this year, right? Do you plan to return to China to develop?"
"That's right! Big brother has arranged everything for me, so grandma doesn't have to worry." Huo Shiyu pretended to push back.
Lu Anzhi took a deep breath and simply gave up her seat, sitting next to Huo Zhiyan's vacant seat.
Speaking of her daughter's studies, Mrs. Huo was even more proud: "Shiyu, didn't you give grandma an emerald necklace you designed yourself? Tell grandma quickly."
"Yes, grandma, I designed that necklace myself. It is much better than those bought from outside. It is the only one that is unique. It is full of my granddaughter's love for you."
Huo Shiyu said, deliberately glancing at the absent-minded Lu Anzhi from the corner of her eye: "I heard that Huo Zhiyan also gave grandma an emerald. Grandma, please don't get confused."
Old ladies like jewelry, especially emeralds. Everyone knows this preference.
Hearing what her granddaughter said, the old lady scratched her nose meaningfully with her finger and scolded: "You little brat, grandma will definitely appreciate it when you look back."
At this moment, Mrs. Huo seemed to suddenly remember something, and deliberately raised her voice and said to her daughter: "Shiyu, it seems that September 10th is Ayan's birthday. Why don't you prepare some small gifts for him? ?”
Huo Shiyu also pretended to reply: "Really? Wouldn't that be soon?"
At this moment, the old lady interrupted them with a smile: "What are you talking about? Ayan's birthday is September 10th. If you don't remember, don't lie."
Mrs. Huo exclaimed: "Oh, look, I misremembered such an important day."
After saying that, he turned the gun: "Xiao Lu, you and A Yan are a couple. You must remember A Yan's birthday. Please tell me what day it is. I also need to prepare some gifts in advance."
Lu Anzhi was stunned for a moment. The mung bean cake in his mouth happened to be stuck in his throat. Suddenly, he was called out, and he started coughing before he could even catch his breath.
Seeing Lu Anzhi's reaction, Mrs. Huo became even more proud: "Why, both of them have registered their marriage, and you still don't know your husband's birthday? Could it be that you..."
Before the second half of the sentence could be spoken, he was interrupted by Lu Anzhi.
"Ahem...cough..." She took a sip of water: "October 18th! His birthday is in the same month as mine. Mrs. Huo is really good at joking. Even if I forget the King of Heaven, I can't forget him. .”
It was such a risk. Fortunately, I read Huo Zhiyan's information several times before coming here, otherwise I would have fallen into her trap.
This person can really play tricks anytime and anywhere.
Hearing this, the old lady was very happy: "Well, yes, look, this girl An Zhi is still very careful!"
The expression on Mrs. Huo's face was stiff, but she quickly came up with a backup plan: "Oh, it's all my fault. By the way, the food at the banquet tonight was not good. I asked the kitchen to steam jujube paste cakes. Xiao Lu, you can wait later. Bring some back to Ayan to eat."
Lu Anzhi's heart moved.
Come again?
"Thank you, Mrs. Huo, for your kindness. The one in our family is very naughty and has not liked eating jujube paste since he was a child, so I won't bother you!"
One sentence is so perfect that even the Queen Mother cannot find any fault with it.
Lu Anzhi put her hands on her hips in her heart, feeling inexplicably proud.
Only then did she understand why Huo Zhiyan had to give her 800 pages of PPT on the first day of receiving the certificate. She really couldn't control these monsters without something in her stomach!
