Chapter 60
In the afternoon, Lin Yi and the others returned to their city.
After leaving the airport, everyone went their separate ways.
Ji Yunchuan waved enthusiastically at Lin Yi, his voice rising with excitement: "Sis-in-law, let's go again next time!!"
Lin Yi replied casually: "Sure thing."
Next time, he planned to travel somewhere even farther, since it was Huo Jihan's private jet, allowing them to go wherever they wanted with great freedom.
Soon, Ji Yunchuan and Qin Ling left.
Lin Yi also hailed a taxi with Huo Mianmian and headed home.
Before long, they passed by the street where the Huo Group headquarters was located.
Huo Mianmian, who had been watching the scenery out the window, suddenly turned to Lin Yi and asked: "Dad, is this where Dad works?"
Lin Yi put down his phone, glanced outside, and said: "Yes, do you want to see it?"
Huo Mianmian thought for a moment and then nodded: "Sure."
"Then let's go."
So Lin Yi asked the driver to stop, and they walked toward the Huo Group building.
As they approached the Huo Group building, they came across a famous cake shop.
This cake shop was well-known globally, with franchises all over the world.
The cakes inside were a bit pricey, but their taste was exceptional and looked incredibly tempting, making business particularly good.
When Lin Yi passed by, he was drawn in by the sight through the transparent glass.
He then turned and led Huo Mianmian into the cake shop.
Ten minutes later, Lin Yi emerged from the store carrying a box of small cakes.
These little cakes were very tiny, each one could be eaten in a single bite, sweet and soft, making them hard to resist.
Lin Yi took out a small cake and handed it to Huo Mianmian: "Here, kiddo!"
Father and son continued walking toward the Huo Group building while eating the cakes.
Lin Yi finished one small cake and said: "Mianmian, I bought twelve small cakes in total. Let's each have four, and we'll save four for your dad, okay?"
Huo Mianmian slowly nibbled on the cake: "Okay."
But when they reached the Huo Group building, the box was already empty, with not a single cake left.
Lin Yi: "..."
Huo Mianmian: "..."
What happened?!
Father and son exchanged a glance.
Lin Yi decisively said: "Kiddo, how about we pretend we never bought any cakes for your dad?"
Huo Mianmian nodded in agreement: "Okay."
Lin Yi quickly found a trash bin and disposed of the empty box, erasing all evidence.
Then, acting as if nothing had happened, he calmly led Huo Mianmian into the Huo Group building.
The entire process was smooth and natural.
There was a receptionist in the lobby.
Upon seeing Lin Yi enter, she instinctively prepared to ask if they had an appointment.
However, before she could speak, she abruptly stopped.
One of the most important skills in her job was recognizing visitors.
Seeing Lin Yi, she felt a sense of familiarity.
A moment later, she realized that this was the person whom Li Feng's assistant had personally greeted last time.
Moreover, Li Feng had instructed her that if this person came, she should escort them upstairs without asking any questions.
Though she was curious about who this person was, she dared not inquire further.
Working here, the most crucial rule was to avoid gossip. The Huo Group had strict regulations, and employees never engaged in anything unrelated to work.
They received generous salaries and worked diligently, always cautious not to make mistakes that might cost them their jobs.
With this in mind, the receptionist immediately put on her most professional smile and approached Lin Yi: "Please follow me."
Lin Yi had expected to be questioned, but the receptionist directly led them to the elevator.
Surprised, he raised an eyebrow but did not ask further, following her instead.
Moments later, the receptionist personally escorted Lin Yi to the elevator, pressed the floor button, and stepped back out.
Honestly, every visit to the Huo Group refreshed Lin Yi's understanding.
The entire headquarters exuded an atmosphere of rigorous efficiency. The employees were all well-trained, and even the receptionist was impeccable.
One could only say that the Huo Group truly lived up to its reputation as a top-tier enterprise, leaving one in awe at every turn.
Just as Lin Yi's thoughts wandered, there was a "ding," signaling the arrival of the elevator.
Lin Yi led Huo Mianmian out of the elevator.
The top floor was bright and spacious, with a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows.
Unlike the last time Lin Yi visited, some new arrangements had been made, adding a few expensive potted plants.
However, the cold, sleek ambiance remained unchanged. Stepping into this space felt like entering the most modern and technologically advanced place, with cool white lights everywhere, making one instinctively feel a chill.
It was clear that the interior design catered to Huo Jihan's preferences.
At that moment, Li Feng was giving instructions to Huo Jihan's secretaries.
Mid-sentence, he caught sight of Lin Yi and immediately turned around in surprise, then hurried over to greet them. "Mr. Lin, Little Master Mianmian, why are you here?"
