Chapter 39

As a manager, Zhou Huo’s professional ability was naturally, much stronger than Qld Qiao and the others’. With the media team that Zhou Huo brought with him, they now had the ability to clarify the situation. They presented ideas in an orderly and methodical manner and in an instant, the preparatory work was arranged systematically.

Like Old Qiao and the others, Zhou Huo had long had the idea to find a suitable opportunity to dredge out the events of that year and have it rehashed. Now, one mustn’t go into battle unprepared. With this surveillance video, everything was going to proceed much more smoothly. A big weight was taken off Zhou Huo’s mind and it was only then that he managed to take a good look at the two in the corridor. “Eh…what were you two talking about just now? Though I don’t want to disturb you two, but, Yu Sui…did you leave your phone in the conference room? Your parents have been trying to call you but no one answered so they already called Chen Huo.”

Yu Sui turned around and headed for the meeting room.

“Evil.” Zhou Huo looked at Shi Luo. “Are you…going to spend the night here? Your room has been sorted out, but it’s a little empty. We haven’t managed to prepare some of the basic things yet. If you don’t mind though, would you like to stay here tonight?”

Shi Luo said, “My stuff is still in IAC, originally…”

“Originally, you should have directly come over with your stuff but everything’s a mess right now. Our driver has also gone home already. So…” Zhou Huo proposed, “How about I get my car and drive you there? My car’s pretty big so it definitely has room for your stuff.”

Shi Luo instinctively looked towards the conference room. Zhou Huo smiled, “Of course, you could also wait for Yu Sui but he might not finish his phone call with his parents anytime soon. His parents must have heard the news and must be feeling distressed for their son. I don’t know how long they’ll be talking.”

Shi Luo sullenly said, “Then, I’ll have to trouble you.”

“What’s the matter, let’s go.” Zhou Huo said while walking, “You’re old enough to get your license, right? You haven’t found the time to take the driver’s license exam? This year, we’ll have to find some time and hire an instructor for you…”

Zhou Huo drove and Shi Luo sat in the co-pilot seat. For a while, silence reigned between them.

After driving out of the compound, Zhou Huo turned off the music. “It’s gonna be a pretty long drive, if you’re sleepy, you can sleep for a while. If not, we can chat for a bit.”

Shi Luo shook his head, “You don’t have to mind me. Do what you have to do, make the calls you need to make.”

“You mean this situation of Yu Sui’s? No need for you to worry about that.” Zhou Huo let out an easy breath. “There’s a reason why Yu Sui’s spending so much to hire me as manager. I deal with these problems for you. That’s my job. Not to mention that I myself have long wanted to deal with Ji Yanhan. So, you can relax.”

Shi Luo frowned, “That’s good, but what do you want to talk with me about?”

As an exemplary businessman, Zhou Huo wasn’t about to let go of any details that can make a profit for the team. Just now, he had watched the surveillance video and had also taken note of what Ji Yanhan’s sentiments. Now, that huge matter from before had signs of a positive outcome. Zhou Huo wanted to probe out what Shi Luo was thinking.

“Nothing, really. I’m just worried that if this thing between you and Yu Sui won’t be resolved, it might hinder the future development of the team.” Zhou Huo drove very steadily, and the words were very gentle. “You and Yu Sui have been awkward with each other all this time, won’t it affect your performances during the matches?”
