Huo Jinxi lightly gave Huo Qiran a few words in the video, while Mu Qian sat on the sofa and fiddled with her phone with her head down.
After listening to Huo Jinxi's instructions, Huo Qiran nodded and suddenly held the tablet in front of Mu Qian.
As soon as Mu Qian raised her eyes, her eyes directly met Huo Jinxi in the video.
After a tacit silence between each other for a moment, Mu Qian spoke up: "I'm a little tired just after getting off the plane, and I'm also jet-lagged. I'm going to rest at home today and go to the lawyer to handle those things tomorrow."
"Yeah." After hearing this, Huo Jinxi just said, "Have a good rest."
Mu Qian said: "You too."
After a few simple words, Mu Qian returned the tablet to Huo Qiran.
"I'm going to take a shower. Don't play with the tablet for too long, you hear me?" After Mu Qian finished speaking, she touched Huo Qiran's head and then went upstairs.
Huo Qiran watched her go upstairs, turned around and smiled at the video that had not yet been hung up.
On the other end of the video, Huo Jinxi also smiled at him.
After Mu Qian took a bath, she carried Huo Qiran upstairs. After taking a bath as well, she lay down to rest.
Huo Qiran was in very good spirits and claimed that he couldn't sleep, but within twenty minutes of lying down, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Qian listened to his even breathing and couldn't help but reach out and pinch his nose.
Huo Qiran fell asleep, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
It was just such a rare leisure time that she lay quietly on the bed and completely empty her head, which was considered a kind of relaxation.
Mu Qian just lay there with her eyes open for three hours. Seeing that Huo Qiran showed no signs of waking up, she simply got up and went downstairs to watch TV.
The housekeeper Huo Jinxi arranged for the house would only appear when needed, so there were only Mu Qian and Huo Qiran in the house, and it was very quiet.
Mu Qian went downstairs, first went into the kitchen to get a glass of water, then walked to the living room and sat down. As soon as she turned on the TV, she found that the computer on the desk next to her had been turned on at some point.
She guessed that Huo Qiran had opened it out of boredom, so she stepped forward and prepared to turn off the computer.
Several programs were opened on the computer. After Mu Qian closed them one by one, the video communication interface was revealed.
In the video, her body occupies most of the interface, and there is a small interface in the upper right corner, which is somewhat unclear.
Mu Qian switched between the two interfaces, and then she could vaguely see clearly that on the other side of the video, it seemed to be the ceiling of Huo Jinxi's office.
From such a camera angle, it looks like Huo Jinxi's mobile phone is placed on his desk, but the video is always connected.
Mu Qian was startled for a moment, then picked up the headphones and put them on her head.
No one could be seen in the camera, and the voices outside the screen were a bit distant and noisy, but Mu Qian could still hear Huo Jinxi's voice, Qi Yuan, and about two or three Huo's executives, who were discussing
A project in Europe.
Several people were having a meeting some distance away from the phone, and probably no one noticed the subtle movement coming from the phone here.
Mu Qian looked at the ceiling on the screen, then at the camera on her side, and suddenly understood something.
This should be an agreement secretly reached by Huo Jinxi and Huo Qiran. Huo Qiran turned on the computer on the other end and kept on video call with Huo Jinxi on the other end without interruption - that is to say, if Huo Jinxi never hung up
If so, he could always see what was going on in the living room here.
In this way, it was like installing a monitoring device here. As long as Mu Qian and Huo Qiran were there, he could see and hear them at any time.
Mu Qian didn't move for a while, only listening to Huo Jinxi's distant and low voice in the earphones, slightly mute, analyzing the progress of the project without any emotion.
Mu Qian looked at the time displayed on the computer. It should be almost two o'clock in the morning in China.
She was quiet for a long time, then took off her headphones and hung them up. She glanced at the screen again, turned around and walked away.
The computer remains running, and the video is always connected, with no change.
…
Tongcheng.
At three o'clock in the morning, the 26th floor of Huo Group's headquarters was still brightly lit.
When Qi Yuan and several senior executives walked out of Huo Jinxi's office, their eyes were all red.
"I'm getting older. When I was young, it was no big deal to stay up for two or three nights. But now that I've reached this point, I feel like I can't stand it anymore."
"Old? How can you have me, old? Young, complaining in front of me!"
Several executives were talking as they walked towards the elevator.
One of them turned his head and saw Qi Yuan, whose eyes were almost closed. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, "You kid, you are so young, you are not very good! Mr. Bihuo is not as good at this kind of spirit."
Far!"
After hearing this, Qi Yuan turned his head and glanced at the office. Thinking of the energetic man inside, he couldn't help but sigh.
In terms of hard work, who can fight harder than him?
At the same time, Huo Jinxi, who finally returned to his desk, sat down and glanced at his mobile phone where the video call had been kept.
At this sight, his eyes, which had been somewhat stagnant at first, suddenly became clear again.
Huo Jinxi picked up his phone and projected the picture on the phone onto the big screen.
On the screen, the living room no longer looked empty as before.
Mu Qian didn't know when she sat on the sofa, watching TV and peeling an apple.
Because she was alone, she almost always sat still, even her movements of peeling apples were extremely subtle.
But there was almost no movement. Huo Jinxi sat in the chair and watched carefully.
He watched her finish peeling the apple, nibbling the apple slowly, and wiping her hands with a tissue.
