Tsk.
This world is getting more and more fantastical.
Huo Lan, who had seen quite a few ups and downs, calmly walked to his seat and sat down, curiously asking Xu Xingguang, "What does Miss Xu’s friend do? Is he also in the industry?"
Xu Xingguang tilted her head and looked at Huo Wen’an’s ’industry’ face before shaking her head and saying, "Him? He’s just an amateur, a freelancer."
His daily work involves taking snapshots, supervising on the mountain, and raising pigs.
Huo Lan smiled politely and cautiously, "Being a freelancer is good, no need for socializing or overti, not bound by any rules, it’s quite nice."
Due to Huo Wen’an’s presence, Huo Lan spoke more cautiously afterward.
Xu Xingguang noticed the change in Huo Lan, but she pretended to be indifferent. After finishing the al, Xu Xingguang and Huo Wen’an sat down with Huo Lan to discuss the contract details.
The manager of the legal departnt sat by the table to listen, and upon hearing the generous offers Huo Lan made to Xu Xingguang, the legal departnt manager was left dumbfounded.
Their Director Huo, who was notoriously stingy, would never let anyone off the hook for even 99 bucks if he could snag a hundred.
No matter what requests Miss Xu made, Director Huo would rely pretend to ponder seriously for a mont before agreeing without hesitation. Why was this miser so considerate towards Miss Xu today?
Once everything was agreed upon, there was nothing left for Xu Xingguang and Huo Lan to discuss. It was ti for the legal departnt to draft the contract and proceed with the signing process.
But Huo Lan, fearing Xu Xingguang might change her mind at the last minute, specifically instructed the legal departnt manager, "Manager Zheng, please work overti tonight and draft the contract quickly, so we can sign it with Miss Xu tomorrow morning."
The legal departnt manager thought Huo Lan must be crazy.
But he agreed anyway.
Huo Lan looked at his watch, it was past five. He enthusiastically invited Xu Xingguang and Huo Wen’an for dinner, saying, "Miss Xu, Mr. Huo, if there’s nothing else, how about we have dinner together at Friendship Building tonight?"
Xu Xingguang smiled without really smiling.
Huo Wen’an said, "No, we have other plans."
Huo Lan imdiately changed his tone, "Then let’s arrange for another ti."
Huo Lan personally escorted them to the elevator, and when the elevator doors closed and the numbers on the display started decreasing, only then did Huo Lan loosen his collar and exhale heavily.
The legal departnt manager passed by with a notebook, noticing his reaction as if he narrowly escaped death, and uncharacteristically showed concern, "Director Huo, are you okay?"
Huo Lan: "Fine."
Fine, my ass.
Divine Concealnt Island’s Huo Family is powerful, with many family mbers.
Don’t be fooled, even though Huo Lan is the Director of Bingfeng Entertainnt and also the owner behind it, in reality, he doesn’t have the privilege to et Huo Wen’an alone on Divine Concealnt Island.
He can only hope to see Huo Wen’an during the once-a-year family blessing ceremony.
This was his first close encounter with Huo Wen’an, how could he not be nervous?
Regarding Huo Wen’an, not only does the external world find him mysterious, but even mbers of the Huo Family are afraid and fearful of him.
In the hearts of the Huo Family, Huo Wen’an is not a person; he’s a ghost that crawled out of Corpse Mountain Blood Sea, wearing a human disguise to walk in this world.
The Divine Concealnt Island under his control is essentially hell on Earth.
Two months ago, there were rumors that Huo Wen’an was going to kick the bucket.
And what happened?
He ended up coming to Yujiang City and started playing roles.
Such rumors truly mislead people.

Once in the car, seeing the ti was late, Huo Wen’an asked Xu Xingguang, "Are you hungry, shall we grab so food in town tonight?"
"Sounds good," Xu Xingguang replied, "Let’s find a large pet supermarket first and get so toys and snacks for Huo Wuyi."
"Sure."
Yujiang City had several pet supermarkets, frequented by many pet owners bringing their pets along for shopping.
Huo Wen’an took a small cart and quietly followed behind Xu Xingguang.
Before purchasing, Xu Xingguang would carefully read the labels, and Huo Wen’an watched her seriously select products, suddenly saying, "We look like new parents choosing baby products."
Xu Xingguang stood up, tossed a teething bone into the cart, and asked Huo Wen’an, "Do you like kids?"
Their relationship had only been established for a short ti; discussing kids seed premature.
But since Xu Xingguang asked, Huo Wen’an thought about it seriously.
He said, "I do."
Nodding slightly, Xu Xingguang suddenly asked him, "If your child might inherit your illness in the future, would you still want them?"
