Chapter 236: Let Him Go And Mine Diamonds In Africa
Huo Xishen decided to be nice for once and told Jamie exactly what Yan Jinyi said.
After Jamie said something to him, he suddenly looked at Yan Jinyi with a miserable expression. He swore to learn Mandarin!
Assistant Wen specially prepared two sets of steak.
In fact, his hands were shaking when he was cooking the steaks.
In the beginning, he thought that Huo Xishen and Yan Jinyi were not on good terms with each other and might even get a divorce any time but…
He did not expect Yan Jinyi to suddenly show up in Huo Xishen’s place and more shockingly, clad in pajamas!
Well, there was only one bed in the house!
‘No wonder I was tasked to move the sofa in the room away yesterday. Mr. Huo is so…’
‘Forget it, I won’t go.’
The steak that Assistant Wen cooked really tasted superb, but unfortunately, he had underestimated Yan Jinyi’s appetite and the amount that she could eat. She was only full after polishing off Huo Xishen’s steak too.
“Aren’t Huo Qingyuan and Han coming over?”
Thinking about the temporary assistant that Huo Zihang assigned to Yan Jinyi, Huo Xishen was a bit displeased.
‘She just needs a temporary assistant, why must it be a man? Doesn’t Huo Zihang know that it’s inconvenient for a woman to have a male assistant? Seems like Huo Zihang needs to be taught a lesson too.’
“They went straight to the studio to wait for you.”
Huo Xishen looked at the time on his watch and said, “Assistant Wen, send my wife to MELLO.”
Yan Jinyi looked up and asked with a bewildered expression, “Mello?”
‘Uh…’
Assistant Wen suddenly realized that Yan Jinyi didn’t seem to be proficient in English.
Remaining composed, Huo Xishen said, “The magazine that you are shooting for is called MELLO fashion magazine.”
Yan Jinyi nodded. ‘This dog actually knows better than I do.’
As soon as she was sent away, Huo Xishen took out his cell phone and called Huo Zihang.
Yan Jinyi and Huo Qingyuan were both not around. Huo Qingyuan had gone to his friend’s place while Huo Chengyu and Shen Yan were away from home most of the time.
After staying at home for less than a day, Huo Zihang was bored out of his wits.
Suddenly, the phone rang and Huo Zihang sat up cross-legged. After glancing at the Caller ID, he immediately and respectfully answered, “Second Brother, is there a reason that you are looking for me?”
Huo Xishen said in a cold and indifferent voice, “The Huo Family has never dabbled in the diamond mining business in Africa.”
‘So?’
With a look of bewilderment, Huo Zihang asked, “Second Brother, are you planning to continue developing the Huo Family’s business?”
“Yes.”
“I never expected the legendary act of mining diamonds in Africa would come true in our home.”
After Huo Zihang was done being emotional, Huo Xishen said, “You’re quite suitable for that job. You can take over this project.”
‘What’s going on?’
‘What does he want me to go there for?’
Rubbing his years, Huo Zihang asked, “Second Brother, what did you say just now?”
Huo Xishen repeated patiently, “I want you to go to Africa to mine for diamonds.”
!!!
‘It turns out overbearing CEOs will really send their subordinates away, just like in the novels!’
However, in their family, it’s the younger brother who got sent away!
Huo Zihang said anxiously, “Don’t do that, Second Brother, I’ve been too busy with TG Entertainment lately and I have no time at all.”
“The C-suites of Huo Group are not to be trifled with.”
“Second Brother, Second Brother, what mistake did I commit? Feel free to tell me, I’ll make up for it immediately, alright?”
Huo Xishen hung up the phone particularly ruthlessly, not giving Huo Zihang the opportunity to continue to plead at all.
Starring at his cell phone, Huo Zihang was the most desperate he had ever been.
Sending him to Africa to mine diamonds is worse than tying him up with raffia string!
MELLO was one of the top fashion magazines in the US, and they only used Asian models almost once a quarter.
