t floor. His time wasn't up yet, but this morning when he arrived at the company, Mr. Huo surprisingly allowed him to return to the CEO's office ahead of schedule. At that moment, he politely thanked...Then, Luo Shu smiled and took the lunchbox. “Thank you, Ms. Li.”

Li Qin sat on the sofa beside Huo Mingzheng, sizing him up for a few moments. “You look more refreshed these days.”

"Sleep well, and you'll feel refreshed."

Ho Ming-cheng held a cup of coffee in one hand and flipped through the newspaper with the other.

The Huo family has always subscribed to newspapers every year, continuing an old tradition. Huo Mingzheng also developed this habit since childhood and hasn't been able to break it all these years.

Li Qin looked at his slender, fair, and distinct fingers. She reached out her hand wanting to touch them, but just as she did, he turned the page of the newspaper, and she missed.

She retracted her hand and casually picked up a newspaper to read.

"Azheng, Grandpa invited me to spend New Year's at Huo Gong Guan. I want to ask for your opinion."

Her tone was as usual, but her downcast eyes held a glimmer of hope.

Huo Mingzheng paused, took a sip of coffee, and said, "You decide for yourself."

“Do you want me to stay at the Huo residence” she glanced at him subtly.

From the moment she used that year's promise to get Huo Mingzheng to agree to marry her, she felt his coldness. Even though she helped him through the shadows again this time, his attitude towards her remained indifferent, neither distant nor close.

Ho Mingzheng put down his coffee, flipped through a page of the newspaper, and sunlight streamed in from the floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating his profile. The curve of his lips seemed to be both a smile and not a smile.

Of course, I hope you stay at the Huo Mansion.

......

In the evening, after Ho Mingzheng finished his treatment, Xiao Ai left. Then Qin Heng brought him a cup of warm water.

The treatment process was light hypnosis, Huo Mingzheng lay on the beauty lounger.

Qin Heng turned around and gave him the medicine for before bed. "How do you feel"

"It's fine."

Ho Mingzheng took the medicine, and Qin Heng said again.

"Xiaoye said the rest is up to you. Did she tell you"

"Ho Mingzheng hummed in affirmation, "I'll have Cao Fang transfer the payment to her account shortly."

Qin Heng nodded. "Then get some rest."

He was about to leave when he saw Cao Fang helping Huo Mingzheng pack his suitcase. He casually asked, “Business trip”

It's almost the end of the year, there are only ten days left until Chinese New Year, and he is still so busy.

He truly deserves the title of workaholic. Even with the Huo family already at its current position, he still wants to expand their territory. It's true that businessmen never stop.

What's the use of making so much money

Ho Mingzheng swallowed the pill and said calmly, "Let's go to Zurich."

Qin Heng was taken aback. Not only was he on a business trip, but he was going abroad

"Given your current situation, would you like to ask Xiaoyi first"

Qin Heng was truly worried about him going abroad. What if the situation became unstable Foreign hospitals weren't convenient, and it would be a hassle then. Besides, Xiaoyue couldn't accompany him.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

"Nothing to do with work," Huo Mingzheng put down his cup and rubbed his temples, "Kevin, who collaborated with Huo's to expand the European market, is throwing a masquerade ball for his wife and invited me."

Qin Heng frowned, "It's just a masquerade ball, it shouldn't be this complicated, right"

Ho Mingzheng got up and walked slowly to the floor-to-ceiling window. "They said it was to let me experience the local customs and people, but in reality, they wanted to pry into my plans and see how much I could offer. Kevin asked for a huge sum, as if he were a lion opening its mouth wide. Would I let him have his way"

"Wouldn't it be a good way to show him who's boss if you didn't go"

Qin Heng didn't understand business matters.

Ho Mingzheng rubbed his thumb against the glass, "He'll only think I'm afraid, and in future cooperation, he'll press down on me. That's why this trip to Zurich is a must."ined his figure, making him appear even taller and more slender.As soon as he stepped through the doorway, he heard someone talking about paying for rouge. His footsteps came to a halt.It's for the be...
