Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse
Huo Wei had just researched and developed the robot “Wei Wei”, and was already having ideas regarding the next stage of research and development. It was not difficult for her, because it was her inherent skill. Even if her memories were sealed, she knew that her main world must be a high-tech world, and she must be an expert in it.
It was as simple as a math expert doing math problems in primary school, but many of her ideas couldn’t be realized in this world. She could only spend some time improving the existing technology and produce satisfactory results.
It was also because of the limited technology that her products surpassed other products, but they did not reach a shocking level. Technology was constantly developing, and every new development could surpass the world’s achievements. Otherwise, what is development?
It was not surprising at all. But this time, in this field, the person who surpassed the current world’s technology was Huo Wei.
People were even more curious about why she had hidden herself in the past. Her sadness due to her brother’s actions was deeply rooted in people’s hearts, so at this time, people spontaneously pictured a touching story for her.
Why did she hide herself in the past? That was because Huo Ming liked to be the prodigy!
He enjoyed being the center of attention. He finished university at the age of 18. Now his status in Huo Company was only second to his father, and he used to be a genius and rich young entrepreneur of the second generation, who was pursued by the whole Internet. So did Huo Wei hide her real strength to make way for her brother?
Her brother liked the company, but she didn’t fight for it; her brother liked to show off, but she hid her abilities.
She had become the best sister in the world, but he had become the worst brother in the world.
Huo Ming was scolded by them again, while Huo Wei received a lot of support. After a brief understanding of the trend of public opinion, she couldn’t help but smile and praise the netizens in her heart.
So, it was not a mistake to prepare everything beforehand to ensure that the work later would be completed quicker and smoother. After everything was ready, she would be very at ease and have less trouble.
Because of the new domestic robot, the Yun Xian Group had several big shots as its partners. Orders were coming in huge numbers, causing a heavy blow to Huo Company.
Huo Wei was getting more and more reputable. She had received a lot of hidden invitations to jump ship. She had completely changed her previous image and became one of the young scientists of the new generation.
After losing three important partners, Huo Tingwei couldn’t wait any longer. He went to Huo Wei and asked her to return to Huo Company.
“As long as you are willing to return to Huo Company, I will give you Huo Company’s shares. In the future, you and your brother can develop Huo Company into a top domestic enterprise.”
Sitting in the coffee shop with him, Huo Wei looked at his favor value towards her, which was only 20 points, and laughed. She didn’t believe him at all!
But she was curious about how much he was willing to sacrifice for her to come back. She cupped her chin and asked, “How much of the shares are you willing to give me?”
“Ten percent.” Huo Tingwei observed her expression and wanted to know what she was thinking.
Huo Wei just smiled and shook her head. “Not enough. Too little.”
After taking a sip of his coffee in silence, Huo Tingwei said in a low voice, “Fifteen percent, no more.” If he offered more, he would lose his position as the chairman of the board.
She stretched out her hand and compared it with his, “Fifty percent. Give me this number, and I’ll work in Huo Company.”
His face darkened. After the turmoil in Huo Company, he was afraid that there would be some changes, so he received some scattered shares. At present, he held forty-six percent of the shares, plus the five percent of the shares held by Huo Ming, which was exactly fifty-one percent. In this way, he could be sure to be the chairman of the board. No matter how many shares the board had, he would be the chairman in the end.
Now, as soon as Huo Wei opened her mouth, she wanted almost everything. Obviously, she didn’t want to discuss it anymore.
Seeing that Huo Tingwei wasn’t say anything, Huo Wei was amused. “Didn’t you say my surname is Huo? Is there anything wrong with giving me Huo Company? If you want to expand Huo Company, I can do it. I’m your perfect heir. What else is there to consider?”
Still, Huo Tingwei didn’t say anything. With her hands on the table, she leaned forward, looked at him, and asked, “Does your heartache? Are you still unwilling to give up your authority? Or maybe you didn’t want to pass the company to your daughter at all? You are so insincere. Why should I return to Huo Company?”
“Huo Wei!” He looked at her angrily and questioned her. “What on earth are you doing? If you continue to help the Yun Xiao Group in the development of new products, Huo Company will suffer a greater blow. Do you want to watch our company go downhill?”
Huo Wei thought that it was really good to hear that they were going downhill. She had asked her mother to give up all Huo Company’s shares of Huo and keep other properties. This was because – Huo Company’s shares would soon be worthless!
She put her phone into her bag with a smile, smoothed her hair, and said, “I’m an adult. It’s my freedom to work wherever I want. Yun Xiao Group has strong potential for development, and its leader is very sharp-eyed. Huo Company?” She shook her head and smiled to show her disdain for Huo Company. Then she said, “A capable person should choose the right leader to serve. You shouldn’t blame me. You should blame yourself.”
Seeing that she was about to leave, he suppressed his anger and put down his dignity. He said gently, “Are you angry because I treated Sijia better than you? There is no such thing, I will give you the shares, and I will only take care of her. “
Huo Wei suddenly realized and nodded, “So she won’t be getting anything from you? And will only earn some pocket money?”
When she mentioned women, Huo Tingwei felt embarrassed. But for the sake of the company’s development, he had to bite the bullet so he nodded. “You are the one with the surname of Huo. I can tell right from wrong. Come back and help me. If you prove that you can manage the company in the future, I will give Huo Company to you. You and your brother are twins. You are both geniuses, and you are even better than him. It was my fault in the past. If I neglected you, you should give me a chance to make up for it”
At this moment, Huo Wei suddenly understood why some readers complained about the original host’s injustice. Huo Tingwei didn’t deserve the attention of the original host. But is there a child that does not crave his/her father’s attention? This father is still a towering mountain in her eyes.
Unfortunately, the original host would never know that if she wanted to get her father’s attention, she only needed to be outstanding enough. It seemed that such an arrogant man could also bow his head. He would also apologize, as long as he could get enough benefits. To some extent, Huo Ming and Huo Tingwei were really father and son.
“It’s too late.” With a smile, Huo Wei broke the silence. “Huo Wei who was looking forward to her father’s love is gone. Huo Wei now is more willing to see the Huo family disappear. You’d better be prepared. My next blow to Huo Company will pack a bigger punch.”
Huo Wei stood up and thought of something. She couldn’t help but laugh. ” Besides, Huo Ming and I are not the only people who can inherit Huo group. If I go back and work hard to develop Huo Company, maybe Zhao Sijia will then give birth to a younger brother for me? Tsk, at that time, she won’t be sent away even with a hundred million. I’m afraid that even Huo Ming will become a thorn in her side.
Be careful. If there is a fire in the backyard of the Huo family again, someone will laugh at you, even a hundred years later.”
Huo Tingwei was stunned when she mentioned her younger brother. Huo Wei left before he could stop her. When he recalled the meaningless conversation, which was almost full of Huo Wei’s sarcasm. He was so angry that his chest ached as if he had a heart attack.
After taking several deep breaths, Huo Tingwei finally admitted that he couldn’t get his daughter back. She didn’t hate him, but she just didn’t want to see him live a better life. He called Secretary Qin to make an appointment with several experts for him and planned to hire them to take charge of the research and development.
He didn’t have to rely on her. No matter how great she was, she was only twenty-four years old. This research and development this time was due to her ability, but it didn’t necessarily mean that she would succeed in the future. If she really liked to study robots, how could she hide herself for so many years without leaving any trace? Fifty percent of ability, fifty percent of luck.
Huo Tingwei didn’t know whether he was comforting himself or that he really thought so. Anyway, he believed his own words. When he went back, he also told the directors this, and hurriedly upgraded the lab and built a new research and development team. He didn’t want to waste his time on Huo Wei anymore.
However, the “brother” mentioned by Huo Wei worried him. After Zhao Sijia moved back to Huo Family house, she was still unwilling to be in the same room with him. Recently, he had taken some time to coax her, hoping to solve the internal and external strife, and return the company to its past glory and restore the warmth of his family.
Huo Wei soon found that Huo Tingwei and Zhao Sijia become popular in the eyes of the paparazzi. In just a month, they had been photographed four times. They were either having a candlelight dinner or were picking up jewelry in a jewelry store.
In fact, the paparazzi rarely had their eyes on the rich. Two reasons: They couldn’t afford to offend them and get into trouble; the other reason was the public was mostly uninterested. Many rich people didn’t even have any “popularity”, and only a few people knew them when reading the news.
But the current Huo Tingwei and Zhao Sijia are different, and their popularity was comparable to that of A-listers, so naturally, the paparazzi paying attention to them.
Huo Wei didn’t know what to say when she saw it. Once an old house was on fire, no amount of water can extinguish the flames. Huo Tingwei really wanted to have a son at his old age, then Zhao Sijia will be Huo Ming’s little mom. Huo Wei touched her arm and shivered. The two main protagonists will soon become mother and son. Well done!!
It had to be said that Huo Tingwei was nice to Zhao Sijia at the right time. Being cursed by the whole Internet, Zhao Sijia was sensitive and fragile. She lost her job, lost her golden trump card, Lou Xiao, and even lost to Huo Wei in her most proud field of painting. It was this time where she felt most insecure.
At this time, a man that she could rely on, solve all her problems, treat her well, tolerate her, and have an intimate relationship with her. It was normal that she would fall in love with him. Besides, her favor value for Huo Tingwei had always been 80. Although she didn’t like him at that time, it was easy for her to change such a high favor value into liking him. Even if he was more than 20 years older than her, he was still a mature and charming man.
Zhao Sijia and Huo Tingwei were really together!
Of course, in the most secret place of her heart, there was a quietly rising sense of pleasure. So what if those netizens were scolding her? She had one hundred million dollars in assets and became the girlfriend of the chairman of Huo Company. What she had was a fortune that the netizens would never get even if they worked hard for their whole lives!
So what if Huo Wei drove her out of Huo Family house and Huo Company? As long as she can make Huo Tingwei fall in love with her, she will be his wife and Huo Wei’s stepmother. She would like to see how powerful Huo Wei could act in front of her.
Zhao Sijia was desperate. Or perhaps she had no way to go back, so she just found the best excuse to lie to herself. Anyway, she had accepted her current life and asked Huo Tingwei to transform Huo Wei’s old room into an art studio. She would paint in it every day, hoping to hold an art exhibition after she finished a lot of paintings.
She will not be worse than Huo Wei. Even if she couldn’t do those things in the company, she wouldn’t lose to Huo Wei in painting. She had been busy with her work before, so she delayed painting. As long as she could paint again, she would definitely defeat Huo Wei in this respect!
She regarded Huo Wei as her opponent, probably because the turning point in her life was caused by the other girl. Therefore, she always felt that only by defeating Huo Wei could she let go of the past and enjoy life.
Her current state satisfied Huo Tingwei very much. His girlfriend was doing art, had a good temperament, and was very gentle. Every day, she stayed at home and he could go and see her whenever he wanted. It was pleasant to see her. Moreover, there was always a sense of vitality in young girls. Huo Tingwei had felt irritable for a long time and when he was with Zhao Sijia, he finally felt young again. He had the motivation to go to work and was eager to surpass Huo Wei in the next product release.
Huo Ming never saw Zhao Sijia again, but he could tell from his father’s state and the gossips taken by the paparazzi that they were having a good relationship. This made him even more unable to accept what was happening. Were there no other women in the world? Why did his father have to compete with him for a woman?
Now he was even asking his assistant to report his work for him. If there was no need then he would choose not to see his father. Besides, he often applied for a business trip. He became gloomier than before.
A month later, Huo Wei met them at a party. It was seemed particularly contradicting to see Huo Tingwei with a bright smile on his face and Zhao Sijia who seemed both inferior and arrogant compared to Huo Ming who seemed to suffer from facial paralysis, almost as if he was mute.
She was surprised to see that Huo Tingwei’s affection for Huo Ming dropped to 40 and Huo Ming’s affection for his father dropped to -50. Zhao Sijia’s didn’t change much. Her fondness for Huo Tingwei had risen to 90, and her fondness for Huo Ming had fallen to 70. Although there was a gap between the two, her fondness for the two men was still very high.
However, Huo Tingwei’s fondness for Zhao Sijia had dropped to 60, and Huo Ming’s fondness for Zhao Sijia had fallen to -80.
Now that Huo Tingwei has gotten what he wanted, does he feel that he doesn’t need to cherish it anymore? Or did he find out about Zhao Sijia’s true nature as a gold digger? Or… Is the substitute really a substitute? Does he think that Zhao Sijia was not as good as Zhao Wanyun?
As far as Huo Wei knew, Zhao Sijia was not as good as Zhao Wanyun. Zhao Wanyun was the one who had really cultivated her skills as a gold digger. If she hadn’t died of an incurable disease, what would happen to Zhao Sijia now?
Huo Ming understood them better. He felt sick at the sight of these two people and found that they got along well with each other. He guessed that the shame of being known as the person who was cheated on would always be clawing at his heart. Although he had never had a relationship with Zhao Sijia, all he had to do was confess. Now, he only felt that he was blind then.
Huo Wei was amused by her own imagination. She avoided them and picked up a few pieces of cake. She came directly from the lab and was very hungry.
Not knowing when, Lou Xiao came over, handed her a glass of water, and said in a low voice, “These are cold. Don’t eat too much, or you will have a stomachache again. Let’s leave early today. I’ve booked a table for you to eat your favorite foods in your favorite restaurant.”
Her eyes lit up, “Siheyuan Restaurant?”
Lou Xiao nodded. Huo Wei immediately put down the cake and said, “I don’t think I’m hungry. I can hold it in. Go ahead with your work. We’ll leave after the greetings.” The food in Siheyuan Restaurant was so delicious that she had to keep her stomach empty for a big meal.
Hearing that, Lou Xiao shook his head with a smile. After telling her not to run around, he left with a glass of wine in his hand.
After taking a few sips of water, she went to the bathroom to fix her lipstick. She didn’t expect to meet Zhao Sijia at the corner.
Unlike the frightened look when she lowered her head several times before, Zhao Sijia walked up to her deliberately and said with a faint smile, “Long time no see. Why haven’t you gone home to visit Huo Tingwei recently? You are his daughter. He misses you very much.”
Huo Wei looked her up and down in surprise and mocked her impolitely: “Who gave you the courage to come to me? Even Huo Tingwei knows better to come up and bother me, are you an idiot? And you sound like an auntie. Did Huo Tingwei let you in?”
Zhao Sijia’s face changed slightly. She thought of something and smiled. “I don’t want to argue with you. After all, you are my junior.”
“Oh, have you forgotten how hard it was before? It doesn’t matter. I will help you recall so you should cherish you’re the last of your good life.” Not in the mood to talk to her, Huo Wei pushed her aside and walked into the bathroom.
“Huo Wei!” Zhao Sijia covered her belly and stood still in a hurry. Her face changed from blue to pale. She didn’t dare to say anything to Huo Wei. Her chest heaved violently. It took her a long time to suppress her anger. Then she smoothed her hair and walked out. She didn’t expect to see Huo Ming leaning against the wall as soon as she turned the corner.
Her face turned pale in an instant. She held her handbag with both hands and unconsciously exerted some force on them, “Huo Ming…”
This was the first time they have met since his car accident. Looking at his features, Zhao Sijia could still remember the feeling of falling in love with him, but things had changed between them. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t know where to start. Everything turned out to be like this by accident, she didn’t want any of this to happen.
Zhao Sijia’s eyes turned red, but Huo Ming glanced at her belly coldly and sneered, “Are you pregnant with my father’s child?”
In front of the person she once loved, Zhao Sijia took a step back subconsciously and admitted that she was pregnant with his father’s child, which made her so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear at once. She wanted to deny it, but she couldn’t deny it. She could only bite her lips and lower her head.
Huo Ming sneered, “It seems that there is no misunderstanding. I wish you and my father a happy life.”
His words were too harsh. It was said as if she was a gold digger. For the money, she stayed with an old man who was more than 20 years older than her. When Huo Tingwei’s hair turns grey, she would still be in her prime.
She said anxiously, “Huo Ming, it’s not what you are thinking…”
“Aunt Zhao, please take good care of my brother and sister. I have to go now.” He stood up and was about to leave, but then when he met Huo Wei’s eyes, he was stunned.
When Huo Wei came out of the bathroom, she was shocked to hear the words “Aunt Zhao”!
What is this peerless nickname? Even Zhao Sijia’s face turned pale!
She looked at Zhao Sijia’s belly and muttered, “No wonder you gained weight. You are expecting. You’re awesome. Senior…Zhao, for the sake of being promoted you never stopped trying.” She coughed slightly, feeling that the scene of the three of them together was especially like the moment when she came to this world the first time. But this time, she would not be the one that will be left behind.
She walked past the two of them and left without saying a word to them. This made the two nervous people a little uncomfortable. They had thought that she would mock them.
But her indifference made them feel even sadder because it meant that the only people who cared were them. And Huo Wei had already abandoned the past and started a new life.
Huo Ming ignored the shaky Zhao Sijia and left directly without going to the bathroom. He wasn’t worried that something bad would happen to Zhao Sijia. In order to protect her present standing, she would also protect her baby.
With mixed feelings, Huo Ming pressed his aching heart. He had imagined their future baby and their happy family of three. Now, the baby in her belly had become his step sibling. There was nothing more shameful than this.
Huo Ming took a glass of wine and went to the balcony to get some air. As he expected, Zhao Sijia wiped her tears, fixed her make-up, and returned to Huo Tingwei with a smile.
She thought she could show off this time, but what she didn’t expect was Huo Ming’s “Aunt Zhao” and Huo Wei’s “Senior Zhao” that shattered her sense of superiority. Her standing in their family was higher now, but they only looked down upon her more. Her self-confidence was all bubbles, that popped as soon as they were touched, and what she got in return was only humiliation.
Zhao Sijia cheered herself up again. It was the first time that Huo Tingwei took her to a party. With a perfect smile, she tried to communicate with the other ladies. However, wherever she went, there would be no response, and then everyone would try to find an excuse to leave.
This was still good. Some people looked at her up and down, with mockery in their eyes and expressions. There were even whispers about how shameless she was to come to the party.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
Zhao Sijia’s happiness during this period of time had deceived her. When she was being coaxed by a group of servants at home, she thought that the times of people were mocking her had passed. But the reality slapped her hard across the face. No one accepted her, no one was willing to talk to her. Even if she was with Huo Tingwei, she still couldn’t get involved with them!
Zhao Sijia couldn’t help but look for Huo Wei. When she turned, she saw several aunties, ladies, and several business leaders who were as powerful as Huo Tingwei around Huo Wei. They had a friendly smile on their faces. Zhao Sijia could tell that they were praising Huo Wei.
Huo Wei just politely greeted them, and they exchanged business cards with her one by one.
The difference between them was so huge. Their attitude towards Huo Wei compared to her was just like heaven and earth. Even if she was bright and beautiful beside Huo Tingwei, she was still looked down upon by them, while Huo Wei just needed to stand there and she would be like a luminous object that attracted people for conversation.
A lady came over and bumped into Zhao Sijia’s shoulder. Seeing that her glass was tilted, Zhao Sijia was frightened and took two or three steps back in a hurry. She recognized that she was the woman who liked Huo Ming. The two of them used to have a lot of conflicts, so she immediately tensed up.
However, the champagne in Wu Tian’s glass didn’t spill out. It seems that she was just careless. After holding it steady, Wu Tian approached her with a smile, “Are you ok?”
Zhao Sijia shook her head subconsciously. When she was about to reply, Wu Tian said sarcastically in a low voice, “Sharing both father and son, shame on you!”
“I didn’t!” Zhao Sijia retorted with a red face.
“Oh? Then who was the one that deliberately showed off the flowers sent by Huo Ming in front of me? And who was the one that said I should stop dreaming of becoming Huo Ming’s assistant? Unless everything that happened was because you cared about your future stepson?” Wu Tian’s smile was impeccable, but her words cut straight into Zhao Sijia’s heart.
Zhao Sijia gave Wu Tian a hard push. Wu Tian screamed, more than half a glass of champagne was spilled on her dress!
Many people around them were attracted by the sound. When they saw them, they almost immediately looked at Zhao Sijia with reproachful eyes.
Wu Tian’s best friend an over to hold her and shouted angrily, “Zhao Sijia what are you doing? She just touched you by accident, didn’t she? She even apologized to you politely. How could you push her?”
Being stared at by so many people, Zhao Sijia became nervous. “No, I didn’t. She did it on purpose. I didn’t use push her that hard…”
“Why are you still defending yourself? We could see it clearly over there.” Wu Tian’s best friend also asked several young ladies, “Do you all agree?”
“Yeah, Wu Tian apologized to you with a smile. There wasn’t a trace of impoliteness at all, right? What are you doing? It’s not like the two of had any old grudges, I thought… you were a changed person?”
The girls looked at each other and burst into laughter. Zhao Sijia’s face turned livid. They were good friends with Wu Tian, so they knew that she liked Huo Ming. Now they are saying that she abandoned the son and chose the father, aren’t they?
Zhao Sijia wanted to say something, but Wu Tian frowned at her ruined dress and waved her hand, “Forget it. I am going to clean myself up.”
Wu Tian’s friends and several girls immediately followed her. All the people involved had left, and leaving only Zhao Sijia who wanted to explain what happened, but she had no place to do so. She was so angry that she trembled all over and lost herself. She had just been pregnant for a short time, and her mood fluctuated so much that she finally could not control herself. She covered her mouth and retched a few times.
This made the people nearby silently walk a few steps away, showing a little disgusted expression.
Embarrassed, Zhao Sijia lowered her head and walked quickly to the side. Huo Tingwei was trying to pull back one of his former partners and was talking about some key points. He didn’t want to care about her, but she had made too much noise here. He had no choice but to apologize to his partners with a pale face and quickly took Zhao Sijia to the lounge.
Zhao Sijia interrupted his conversation and humiliated Huo Tingwei so much that he regretted taking her out for the first time. After all, it was different. Although Cui Jing could easily maintain his connections, Zhao Sijia could only embarrass him. He would rather take Secretary Qin with him than bring Zhao Sijia here!
He frowned impatiently: “What’s wrong with you? What happened? If you feel uncomfortable, you shouldn’t have come to this party.”
Zhao Sijia felt so wronged. When Huo Tingwei came to question her, she couldn’t help but ask, “Do you regret bringing me here? Where were you when they bullied me? If I hadn’t been wronged, would I be feeling uncomfortable?”
Huo Tingwei had long passed the honeymoon phase in their relationship. When he was met with the woman’s temper, he only felt annoyed. When he had time, he would tolerate one or two or try to coax her. But the banquet was an opportunity for him to communicate with others, where would he find the time to amuse Zhao Sijia?
He said coldly, “I’ll ask the driver to send you back. I have something else to do. You don’t have to wait for me.”
Zhao Sijia’s heart sank and she remembered what Huo Wei said about whether it was Huo Company who allowed her to join the party? She suddenly became anxious and deliberately retched. She grabbed his sleeve and said in a soft voice, “Don’t go. I might be pregnant. I feel so uncomfortable because I haven’t eaten anything tonight.”
“What did you say?” After a short pause, Huo Tingwei was overjoyed. He grabbed her shoulder and looked at her flat belly. “Are you pregnant? Really?”
His attitude made Zhao Sijia feel better. She nodded shyly, “It should be true. It’s been two months.”
Two months. That was the time when they had just got together! The joy in his heart overwhelmed all his dissatisfaction. He hugged Zhao Sijia and kissed her two times as a reward. “Let’s go to the hospital. Didn’t you take a fancy to a villa last time? I’ll ask Secretary Qin to buy it for you tomorrow. Let’s go. Be careful.”
Not long after they left the hall, Huo Tingwei and Zhao Sijia appeared again. Many people paid attention to them and thought that Huo Tingwei might get angry with his little mistress. However, they were surprised to find that the two were overjoyed. As if he was protecting some treasure, Huo Tingwei was protecting Zhao Sijia as he greeted everyone, and then they left.
Zhao Sijia is really something! She amused Huo Tingwei in such a short time. She really is a talented lover!
A lady once mistakenly thought that Zhao Sijia would become the adopted daughter of the Huo Family and wanted her to marry her son. She wished she could poke her own eyes at this moment. Fortunately, she had never mentioned this idea mentioned to anyone, or she would be humiliated to the ends of the Earth.
A few young ladies were chatting with Huo Wei. When they saw how Huo Tingwei looked, some of them were surprised. “Sister Wei Wei, you must have been bullied by her a lot before, right? Her methods are too incredible!”
Shaking the glass in her hand, Huo Wei smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter. People always have to go through hardship to succeed.”
The ladies were stunned, and then they all laughed, “Sister Wei Wei, you are so good at this. Aren’t those days just torture? But she won’t be so arrogant much longer. A mistress like her even regards herself as a person of stature. Does she think she can socialize with just anyone?”
“That’s right. Sister Wei Wei, you are the best. You are so capable that you have the confidence to talk to her. I don’t know what to do if I ever meet someone like her. “
“But if she keeps following Mr. Huo, aren’t you angry, Sister Wei Wei?”
“Angry? Of course not.” After taking a sip of the water in her glass, Huo Wei said in a good mood, “I’m going to have more breakthroughs in my lab soon. Life is so wonderful. I’m happy every day. How can I be angry because of someone unimportant? You don’t have to pay attention to her. After all, we are not on the same level.”
“That’s right. It’s a waste of time to talk to her.”
The girls chatted with Huo Wei about the latest clothes and bags of this season. They wanted to invite her to go shopping and to parties. As for who was the center of the younger generation in B city, of course, it was Huo Wei. She was smart, beautiful, generous, and capable. She was cool and handsome after going head to head with Huo Family, good at playing, good at research and development, and painting. In their eyes, she had become a goddess.
No matter if it for the sake of family connections or their own preferences, they were willing to stay around Huo Wei and become friends with her. They couldn’t really remember what kind of person Huo Wei used to be and now they were scrambling after her like a flock of ducks. Zhao Sijia, who was against her, and Huo Family’s father and son had become embodiments of ugliness.
After a short while, Lou Xiao came to find her. As they were about to leave, Huo Wei noticed that Huo Ming was walking in her direction and had followed her to the door. She just glanced at Huo Ming and got into Lou Xiao’s car.
The look in her eyes froze Huo Ming to his spot. Although she was smiling at others just now, her eyes on him were as cold as ice. She refused his approach. Just as she had said, she would never forgive him.
As the driver started driving, Huo Wei soon lost sight of Huo Ming. Lou Xiao asked, “Did Huo Ming have something to say to you? Did you meet up with him just now? “
Huo Wei nodded casually, took out her phone, and opened some game. Absent-mindedly, she said, “I met him as he was arguing with Zhao Sijia. I don’t care about what he has to say. I’m not interested in it. I’ve already been apologized to, but I can’t let the past go. I’m a vindictive person.”
“Well, just ignore him.” Lou Xiao supported her decision unconditionally. Fearing that she would feel cold in her dress, he raised the temperature of the air conditioner by two degrees and put a thin blanket beside her legs, so that she could use it at any time.
Huo Wei saw it and smiled, with warmth in her eyes. This was how one should show that he/she cares. How could Huo Ming’s apology compare? She knew that Huo Ming wanted to talk to her a long time ago, and even his fondness for her had risen back to 40. So what?
He just recently felt pain, and also believed Zhao Sijia’s shamelessness. He began to feel guilty to her. But she didn’t need his useless guilt. If he was willing to, she could confess by herself. She had her own life to live.
When Huo Wei said that new products were coming out soon, she was not bluffing. With the foundation she laid down last time, this research and development of Wei Wei 2 were moving one month faster than before, and the advanced version was developed in only two months.
According to user suggestions, many details and features were added. They were also divided into different types according to different groups of users.
Like setting the robot up as a boyfriend or girlfriend, launching the aggressive sweet-talking features, having the capability to take care of a single person’s heart in all aspects, and ensure that users can feel the best care and love. But to use this robot, one has to be careful, if he/she thinks the robot is too excellent, then he/she won’t be able to love normal humans in the future… which is a bit miserable.
Huo Wei set this warning as the start-up warning message of the robot.
There was also a robot for filial piety. Many sons and daughters who were too busy to take care of their elderly parents or elderly who had no children. They were very lonely at times, or if they lived alone, they were very likely to encounter danger or suffer from any diseases without anyone knowing. With a filial robot by their side, the robot could accompany the elderly to do everything they liked, and help them as soon as they encountered any emergency.
Although a robot was definitely not as good as a child, it was better to have this than not. There might even be more fun in their lives.
Parent-type robots were prepared for the families who were taking care of children of the next generation. Some parents do not have time to care about their children. Even if the parents could take good care of their children’s daily lives, they would still be lacking academically and in terms of personality. In particular, many schools have high expectations regarding parents’ cooperation. The elder generation is limited in energy, and there was a generation gap between them and the new teaching methods, so they couldn’t cooperate well.
This kind of parental robot could urge children to do homework, do sports, do housework, give children lectures, tell stories, play games with children, and then, at any time, provide results of such situations for the parents who were not around their children, so that parents could understand and adjust the education method at any time.
There were also several types of comments which had different features. There were only some features that netizens joked about, but because many people were echoing such features, proving that everyone was interested, so Huo Wei added them.
If the “Wei Wei” she had developed before was a surprise to everyone, then the robot she was developing this time would bring about a much larger shock to everyone!
A month later, when Huo Tingwei was about to hold a wedding ceremony with Zhao Sijia, Yun Xiao Group held another new product launch event. This was broadcasted live globally. After cutting the ribbon together with Luo Xiao and the mayor, Huo Wei personally introduced the six new types of new robots on the stage.
She was shining brightly again, and this time she was no longer a newcomer in the scientific world, but thoroughly a scientist. She was the most outstanding young scientist recognized by the industry. Her popularity was close to that of a top star. Her name was known to all, not because of the gossips and scandals of the Huo Family, but because of her own strength!
In the art studio, Zhao Sijia tore up more than a dozen paintings madly and smashed her iPad which she used to watch the broadcast!
She couldn’t draw a painting that was better than Huo Wei’s. Her paintings were not even comparable to the ones she had painted when she had just entered university. Her heart was restless. She couldn’t focus on painting, and she had no inspiration. Her paintings were worthless, and she didn’t even want to keep them.
She couldn’t accept this outcome. She wasn’t accepted by the upper class, so she had to take care of the baby at home, the only thing she had was the baby in her belly. However, Huo Wei was so eye-catching that she was complacent during her marriage to Huo Tingwei. When she was complacent, Huo Wei had risen to another level and become the admiration of many people, which made her lose the courage to continue to compete with Huo Wei.
But she was could not reconcile with what happened. Huo Wei used to be jealous of her. She used to have a strong feeling that she would be able to drive Huo Wei and her mother away. Why is it that Huo Wei has become an unattainable existence now?
Zhao Sijia lost her temper and almost smashed everything in her drawing-room. Suddenly, she felt a stomachache and her face turned pale. She hurriedly went out and asked the servants to send her to the hospital.
Now she can only rely on this child. She didn’t dare to let anything happen to her child. She didn’t dare to lose her temper again, so she had to control herself very well. She didn’t set her mind at rest until she got some medicine in the hospital.
But in this way, the paparazzi who were staring at her found her whereabouts. She had experience symptoms of a miscarriage when Huo Wei held the new product launch event. What good words could the media say? Netizens didn’t want to laugh at her anymore. They just thought she was so ridiculous.
Everyone was waiting for her to fail. They didn’t believe that a person like her would live a life as a rich lady. Or else wouldn’t there be many people like her trying to latch onto rich and powerful people?
On this day, several directors and the R&D department watched the live broadcast with Mr. Huo Tingwei and his son in Huo Company’s conference room. The atmosphere was very depressing, and people’s faces were very dark.
Secretary Qin carefully reported the latest news, saying Zhao Sijia had experience symptoms of a miscarriage and was photographed. The news, like a bomb, blew up all the anger of the directors!
“Were you out of your mind, Huo Tingwei? For that gold digger, you drove Huo Wei away. We asked you to apologize to Huo Wei and invite her back, but you not only cut off contact with her but also married Zhao Sijia? Have you lost your mind? Yun Xiao Group’s new product this time can’t be developed within ten years. Who else will buy our products? Our products are all outdated!”
“Huo Tingwei, have you checked how much Huo Company’s stocks have tanked? Do you remember what you promised at the beginning? You said that even without Huo Wei, you will definitely make the research and development department better. You said you invited experts, and Huo Wei was just lucky, and now? What do you plan to do now?”
There were four experts in the research. The four of them looked at each other. The group leader of the expert group said calmly, “When we came here, we had said that it was not that easy for a technological breakthrough. Sometimes, a slight difference could cause a world’s difference. Miss Huo is talented. She is absolutely a genius in this respect. She has already inferred something that we can’t get involved in. It’s difficult for us to catch up with her. So it’s not our fault for the difference today.
As for the product Miss Huo released today, I’m afraid we won’t be able to develop it within twenty years. Those functions seem simple, but there were many unstable factors, so it would not be enough to just realize the functions.
Miss Huo’s product return rate and maintenance rate are very low. The most important thing about her product is its stability and safety, and then these features. This is the gap between us. I’m sorry. It’s better for us to help Miss Huo now. I’m not belittling myself. It’s a fact. We are sincerely convinced of Miss Huo’s abilities.”
His words were like stabbing into Huo Company, directly cutting off all hope.
It would be better if the products were a just little inferior to the ones from their rival. If the price was lowered, someone would always buy them. But their products fell too far behind their rival’s so their products became defects in the market. It was likely that their prices need to be far lower than the manufacturing costs before someone would be willing to buy them. Their current stock in their warehouse had become loss-making goods. For example, the shared bicycles that were piled up like a trash heap and could only end up being crushed into scrap metal.
As for the robot, it was the main business project of Huo Company. It had suffered two heavy losses within a year, and other projects were powerless to save the company. At this time, Huo Company wishes to seek investment from its partners, transform, and take a loan from the bank, how could any of this be possible?
Several directors left angrily and released the news of them selling shares as soon as they left the company. But under the current situation of Huo Company, who was willing to buy their shares? Even many employees of Huo Company had found another job and planned to jump out of the fire.
The stock price of Huo Company plummeted. Without new capital injection, it was impossible for Huo Company to recover. He was so busy that he didn’t have time to prepare for the wedding and directly announced the postponement of the wedding.
Zhao Sijia carefully took care of her pregnancy at home. She hadn’t communicated with the outside world for a long time. She didn’t have any friends in the business circle or the upper-classes. How could she know anything? Seeing the numerous bad news regarding Huo Company, she was both nervous and unwilling to believe it. Huo Company was one of the most powerful enterprises in the country. How could it fall so easily?
She had also asked Huo Tingwei whether Huo Company was in danger. He said it was just a little disturbance, and it would be fine once it passed. It was normal for enterprises to encounter such a disturbance.
Zhao Sijia was observant enough to ask him when he was in a sleepy daze. Of course, what he said at the time was true. She was also shameless enough to call Secretary Qin and ask if there was anything wrong with the company? She said that she was a little worried about him. Then, Secretary Qin told her not to think too much. The company was fine.
Therefore, she firmly believed that Huo Company would soon get through the crisis. As her child grew up in her belly, she urged Huo Tingwei to take some time off to get a marriage certificate with her. To show her sincerity to him, she even gently said that she could use her house as collateral and help him if she could.
Of course, she was just saying it. But she didn’t expect that Huo Tingwei had really called a lawyer to bring her the relevant documents. Not only did he use her assets as collateral, but also Huo Family house and his luxury cars.
Zhao Sijia was scared, but she didn’t understand. No one could negotiate with her, so she had to stay at home and face the servants every day.
Huo Company’s crisis could not be easily resolved. For example, when the mobile phone was refreshed, several particularly famous mobile phone brands disappeared and were replaced by other brands. Now Huo Company was the one that had been replaced by the Yun Xiao Group, and it was still an advancement that cannot be stopped.
Finally, Huo Company can no longer stand it, Huo Tingwei with Huo Ming, stopped outside Huo Wei’s mansion to look for her again.
This time, the father and the son looked a little haggard, especially Huo Tingwei, who was less than fifty years old but looked much older.
Standing at the gate of the villa, Huo Wei didn’t seem like she wanted to invite them in. She smiled and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Huo Tingwei said wearily: “Wei Wei, let’s stop this. I’ll give you Huo Company. From now on, you’ll be the chairman and Huo Company’s only power holder. Huo Company was founded by your great grandfather and ten years ago, your maternal grandfather’s family company was also merged into Huo Company. It’s the fruit of all your elders’ painstaking efforts. You can’t let it collapse.
Weiwei, you should come and manage Huo Compnay. I won’t ask you to develop robots more advanced than Yun Xiao Group. I just hope that you can develop products similar to their level, and don’t let Huo Company fall into ruin.”
Huo Wei still wore a faint smile on her face. In other words, she didn’t care about it at all. She admired the dejected look of the two and shook her head. “It’s too late. I’m no longer interested in Huo Company. You always treat it like a treasure and never allowed me to touch it. Now it’s broken and you want to give it to me? Don’t use the painstaking efforts of my elders to pressure me. My ancestors will be happy for me and won’t blame me if they knew that I have achieved such outstanding breakthroughs.
As for Huo Company’s downfall, of course, they can only blame you. I’ve long said that Huo Company will be over sooner or later with a leader like you. Now it’s really over. If you have some much time, you’d better think about how to live in the future.”
“Huo Wei! Are you going to destroy your family like this? “He raised his hand and tried to slap on her face.
Luo Xiao grabbed his wrist and threw him aside. With a cold face, he stood in front of Huo Wei, trying to protect her, and said, “Chairman Huo, you’re a capable man. Yun Xiao Group is also interested in some of Huo Company’s other businesses. Since you still have the time to hit people, then I don’t mind finding something for you to do.”
Huo Tingwei almost fell. He held the car and then staggered to his feet. He was very embarrassed. Huo Ming just stood aside with his head down and didn’t care about him at all.
After casting a glance at Huo Ming, Huo Tingwei narrowed his eyes and stared at Luo Xiao. “Are you trying to make use of my misfortunes?”
Lou Xiao said calmly, “I’m just telling you, Chairman Huo, what you can do and what you can’t do.”
Lou Xiao held Huo Wei’s hand and led her into the house. During this period, he had been protecting her from the father and son of the Huo Family, fearing that they would jump over the wall to hurt her.
When Huo Tingwei was about to scold her again, he was stopped by Huo Ming. He could tell that they were just asking for more humiliation. Huo Wei didn’t care about it at all. She even treated them as if they were putting on a monkey show.
When the door of the villa was about to close, Huo Ming suddenly said, “Huo Wei, do you really have the heart to see Huo Company disappear? Does mom know about this?”
Huo Wei paused and looked back at him sarcastically. “Look, you’ve always been so selfish. Now you’re still trying to control me by appeasing my morality. In the future, please don’t pretend to be sorry. It’s disgusting. Besides, did I do anything against Huo Company? I just found a job after you rejected me and then worked hard with my own strength.
The reason why Huo Company is like this is that you have no vision, terrible management skills, and low crisis sensitivity. It has nothing to do with me. You two should reflect on yourselves. Huo Family’s family company failed because of you two!”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
