I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 146 - I Do Care About You

Chapter 146: Chapter 146 I Do Care About You

Yuan Xi glanced sideways at Huo Shiyuan.

Huo Shiyuan said, “You know that you are what I care about the most, yet you have never cared about me.”

Yuan Xi asked, “How could you have such an illusion? Where have I not cared about you?”

Huo Shiyuan replied, “You care about Xiao Huo more than you do about me.”

Yuan Xi said, “… That’s because he is your younger brother.”

Back at Jiangyan Villa.

...

Yuan Xi saw Shi Zhen, who had just returned from Fashion Week.

Shi Zhen took Yuan Xi to a suitcase, which was filled with baby products, including a lot of soft, squishy pink clothes, shoes, and socks.

At the beginning of her pregnancy, Yuan Xi was also very eager to buy baby products, but now that she was almost six months pregnant, she was less in a hurry to buy them.

“Why are they all for girls?”

Huo Shiyuan asked after seeing the items.

Shi Zhen explained, “It has to be a girl. I don’t have a daughter, and of course, I want a soft, squishy granddaughter. Some time ago, Xiao Yun brought his new daughter over, and she was so adorable and enviable.”

Yuan Xi chuckled, “Little Yingying is indeed very cute and well-behaved.”

Huo Shiyuan asked, “What if neither of the children is a girl?”

Shi Zhen answered, “Then just have another one. Both you and Xiao Xi are young.”

Yuan Xi did not join the conversation. She definitely did not want to have another child. Whether it was a boy or a girl, one child was enough for her.

Yuan Xi put the clothes into the baby room.

There were already two small baby cots in the baby room, and there were actually a lot of various small clothes.

Including what Shi Zhen bought, there was enough now.

Touching the small wooden cot, Yuan Xi felt a slight movement in her belly. She wondered if the baby had actually started to move?

In the evening, Shi Zhen and Huo Ting had dinner together at Jiangyan Villa.

Huo Ting brought up the matter of going to Shiyi Group with Huo Shiyuan, “In the end, you have to take over Shiyi Hotel.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Shixi has been very busy recently.”

Huo Ting pointed out, “You should know the responsibility you carry. You were born to be the heir to Shiyi. Your grandfathers are nearly eighty now; you can’t expect them to remain in charge of Shiyi at such an old age.”

Huo Shiyuan asked, “What about you? You’re not even fifty yet, the perfect age to be in charge of Shiyi.”

Huo Ting countered, “If I take over Shiyi, will those with the last name Shi inside obey me?”

Shi Zhen said, “Shiyan, it’s not that we don’t care about Shiyi or want to put such a huge burden on your shoulders, but you should know the mission you’ve had since birth. Only you can continue the bloodline of both the Huo and the Shi families, and only you taking over Shiyi will convince everyone.”

Huo Shiyuan’s face looked very unpleasant.

Yuan Xi drank lemon water next to him, which perhaps due to steeping for a long time, had a slight bitterness of perfumed lemon.

Huo Shiyuan voiced his concerns in a deep tone, “It will be hard to move Shiyi’s headquarters to Jiang City.”

Shi Zhen looked at Yuan Xi, “Xiao Xi can follow you back to City A.”

Huo Shiyuan replied, “All her friends and family are in Jiang City, and her work is here as well.”

Huo Ting frowned, “Your friends and relatives and your work are all in City A, and your grandparents are also getting older. You don’t really plan to settle down in Jiang City, do you?”

Huo Shiyuan’s brows were tightly furrowed, and Yuan Xi drank most of the lemon water.

Xiao Huohuo exclaimed, “Jiang City is fun; City A isn’t fun. I also like Jiang City. We could bring grandpas and grandmas here to Jiang City!”

Shi Zhen handed a drumstick to Xiao Shihuo, “Shiyan, think about it seriously. You can’t expect your grandfathers to hold on for another fifteen years waiting for Xiao Huohuo to take over. It’s unrealistic… Your grandfather’s health is really not good now.”

After dinner.

Yuan Xi was pulled into the room by Huo Shiyuan.

Huo Shiyuan held Yuan Xi tight, burying his head in her shoulder.

Yuan Xi also embraced Huo Shiyuan and said, “Shiyan, let’s go back.”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Are you willing to go to City A?”

Yuan Xi replied, “Mi Chen is getting bigger and bigger, and now domestic games are developing overseas. Mi Chen Game also plans to expand abroad, and we’ll inevitably need to recruit a bunch of foreign employees. For foreign workers, City A will be more attractive than Jiang City.

Moreover, Jiang City really doesn’t have the talent appeal that City A has. We could keep the headquarters of Mi Chen in Jiang City unchanged and establish a specialized overseas department in City A. I’ll be in charge of the Mi Chen overseas department. As for the headquarters here, Gu Hanchen should…”

Yuan Xi paused when she mentioned Gu Hanchen, “After his narrow escape from death, he should be more reliable, right? He’s about to turn thirty, after all. If it comes down to it, we can bother Tao Wen and Qi Yi to travel between the two places for business. After all, the high-speed rail between the two is convenient.”

Huo Shiyuan bowed his head and kissed Yuan Xi’s red lips, “I’ve broken my promise again, I had agreed to stay with you in Jiang City.”

Yuan Xi looked up at Huo Shiyuan, “Jiang City and City A aren’t that far apart, especially since it’s just an hour by high-speed rail. If I miss Jiang City, I can come back.”

Huo Shiyuan gazed deeply at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi said, “Now you know that I do care about you, right?”

Huo Shiyuan smiled and kissed Yuan Xi’s lips again.

After deciding to go to City A, Yuan Xi’s biggest concern was Gu Hanchen.

After the National Day holiday ended, Gu Hanchen had already been able to leave his wheelchair and could walk.

The land plot on Shannan Road also welcomed its auction. When Yuan Xi and Gu Hanchen went to participate, they saw Fu Yi and Chu Yan there as well.

Chu Yan hugged Fu Yi’s hand and greeted Gu Hanchen, “Brother Hanchen.”

Gu Hanchen looked at Chu Yan and snorted.

Yuan Xi looked at Chu Yan and noticed that she was much more behaved today. Yuan Xi hoped she would continue to stay quiet and not cause any more trouble.

Fu Yi obviously seemed disinterested, not appearing to care much about today’s land auction.

Yuan Xi’s biggest competitor was the Fu An Group. The fact that Fu An Group’s Fu Yi didn’t take it seriously gave Yuan Xi an opportunity to snag the land parcel for 2.9 billion.

Fu Yi showed no sign of disappointment, and he seemed not to fear a scolding from Fu Yadong.

Chu Yan frequently frowned at Fu Yi, “Fu Yi, didn’t dad say that we definitely need to secure this plot of land?”

Fu Yi looked toward Yuan Xi and quickly averted his gaze, saying to Chu Yan, “Let’s go.”

Chu Yan furrowed her brows, “Fu Yi, what’s been wrong with you lately?”

Fu Yi said, “Nothing, let’s go.”

When Fu Yi brushed past Yuan Xi, his face lacked the usual sullenness and instead showed a look that seemed to beg to speak yet held back. But in the end, he didn’t say anything.

Yuan Xi didn’t pry into others’ affairs. After all, after securing the land parcel, there was a school to be built – plenty to be busy with.

In such busyness, the weather gradually cooled down.

This November was particularly cold, but Yuan Xi actually felt it was manageable, perhaps because she was carrying twins. Usually sensitive to cold, she now felt like a furnace.

Possibly also due to pregnancy, she had gained more than twenty pounds, ate more, and thus wasn’t bothered by the cold.

At the end of November,

Mi Chen, after a board meeting, officially decided to establish a Mi Chen overseas division in City A, with Yuan Xi in charge.

After the board meeting, Gu Hanchen looked at Yuan Xi’s pregnant belly and said, “It’s not easy for you to be setting up the Mi Chen overseas division while pregnant. Keep it up.”

Yuan Xi looked at Gu Hanchen, “Just don’t drag me down at the headquarters.”

Gu Hanchen snapped his fingers, “What you say! Don’t you trust me? When are you leaving Jiang City? I’ll invite you out for a meal as a send-off.”

Yuan Xi chuckled lightly, “There’s no need for a send-off; the two places aren’t far apart. It’s not like we won’t come back. I’ll be back for the annual financial report in January anyway.”

Gu Hanchen said, “You really do have a love-struck brain, going to a strange city for a man.”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly, “Although it’s a strange city, the customs and food in Jiang City and City A are quite similar. Besides, I am planning the best strategy for the Mi Chen overseas department. Even without Huo Shiyuan, the division would still be in City A.”

However, if it weren’t for Huo Shiyuan, Yuan Xi wouldn’t personally manage the Mi Chen overseas division; she would hire a professional manager abroad to handle it.

Gu Hanchen said with concern, “There’s no rush to quickly develop the Mi Chen overseas division. You’re in the late stages of pregnancy now. It’s important to rest and take care of the baby first. Everything can wait until after your children are born.”

Yuan Xi nodded, “Yeah, I know.”

When Yuan Xi was about to leave the Mi Chen headquarters, the staff at the president’s secretary office were all reluctant to see her go.

Yuan Xi said with a light laugh, “I’ll be back for the Mi Chen Year-end Conference in January. It’s not like we won’t see each other again.”
