Tycoon Stepdad's Popularity (Part-1)

24 (ii)

After all, their boss had an overwhelming presence. At a young age, he took control of the Huo Group and led it to unprecedented success, turning it into an unshakable giant.

When Huo Jihan first took over the company, there were plenty of whispers from the Huo family elders.

Huo Jihan didn't argue with them; instead, he used decisive measures to clean house. Those people couldn't speak up anymore, and others were intimidated into silence, showing the fear-inducing nature of Huo Jihan's methods.

After quickly adjusting his emotions, Li Feng said to Huo Jihan, "By the way, Mr. Huo, Young Master Ji and Young Master Qin mentioned they're throwing you a welcome-back party. Do you want to go?"

The Young Master Ji and Young Master Qin he referred to were Ji Yunchuan and Qin Ling, longtime friends of Huo Jihan.

Before Huo Jihan could respond, his phone rang.

It was Ji Yunchuan calling.

Huo Jihan answered.

Immediately, Ji Yunchuan's boisterous voice came through, "Big Brother Huo, are you home? Come out tonight! Qin Ling and I have prepared a party for you!"

Huo Jihan picked up a document from the desk and started flipping through it, his voice indifferent, "Not coming."

Ji Yunchuan immediately said, "Don't be like that, Big Brother Huo. Please come! You live too ascetically, never joining our activities. That's no good. Many people will be there, both men and women. They've been asking me when you'll arrive."

Huo Jihan flipped another page, his tone unchanged, "Too noisy."

Ji Yunchuan persisted, "If you find it too noisy, we can find a quiet spot... Wait, could it be that you're newlyweds with your wife and can't bear to leave?"

Huo Jihan remained expressionless, "I'm busy with work."

Ji Yunchuan fell silent for a moment before saying, "I'd rather you said it was because of your wife! The Huo Group is already untouchable, and you're still working hard. How can the rest of us keep up?!"

Huo Jihan ignored him.

But Ji Yunchuan's mind jumped around, and he quickly changed the topic, "Oh right, I haven't met your wife yet. How about we arrange a meeting someday?"

Huo Jihan put down the document, "We'll see. Goodbye."

With that, he hung up and began assigning tasks to Li Feng.

Downstairs.

Lin Yi went to the game room he had modified and played games to his heart's content.

Having a personal game room was truly great, allowing him to play various games with an incredible experience.

Mainly, Lin Yi spared no expense. He bought the highest-end gaming equipment and even chose the most comfortable sofa designed specifically for gaming, soft and perfectly ergonomic.

He always lounged lazily on the sofa, not wanting to get up.

Lin Yi played games while Huo Mianmian sat obediently beside him, flipping through his picture book.

Father and son worked together, creating a very harmonious scene.

At this moment, the Steward knocked and entered, asking Lin Yi what he wanted for dinner.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi paused his game.

After a moment's thought, he said to the Steward, "Sweet and sour mandarin fish, Buddha jumps over the wall, Yangzhou lion's head, and braised pork knuckle. For the rest, just have the kitchen prepare some vegetables and soups as they see fit."
