Chapter 106 Unpopular People
Huo Boxiong has seen a lot of ups and downs in his life and pleased countless people at this age, so naturally he can use the PUA tactics with ease.
"Of course, I'm not an overly modest person. I have some abilities, but there are many capable people in this world, and there are also many people who are willing to save all living beings. Mr. Huo, you don't have to force yourself to do this with me. I have important things to deal with recently, and I don't want to accept any form of commission. Please forgive me." Huo Junge was very cautious after he almost fell for it without knowing it. He always reminded himself not to fall into the bloodline trap easily.
"I've asked about what special things you've been busy with recently. The investments you have are all normal. I haven't heard of anything special that requires your special attention. How long will it take you before you can take over?" Huo Boxiong avoided the question, pretending not to understand Huo Junge's obvious refusal.
"Old man, can you please stop playing tricks on me?" Huo Junge asked calmly.
"You forced me to cheat." Huo Boxiong has no shame at all.
"I won't treat you like an ordinary scoundrel. At least, I won't let anyone drag you out unless it's too excessive. But I also want to remind you that no one can force me to do something I don't want to do. Please don't worry about me or anything about me, okay?" Huo Junge emphasized again.
"Well, if you don't want to answer, then don't answer it for now. I can still hold on for a few more days. It's okay to go home regularly to have a meal and get together with my family." Since he couldn't hit the straight ball, Huo Boxiong planned to use a roundabout tactic.
"Haha - my intuitive reaction is that it's unnecessary, but to consider your feelings, I'll say we'll talk about it when we have time." Huo Junge raised his eyebrows when he heard this and responded indifferently.
Get together? Isn't it true that everyone in the Huo family is scheming against each other?
What's the point of gathering?
The brothers and sisters of the Huo family were not very close when they were young. No matter how much affection they showed on the surface, it was ultimately wrapped in calculations. Huo Junge got tired of seeing it a long time ago, and now he doesn't want to see it anymore.
"Then I'll make an appointment with you in the next two days. Can you please answer my phone calls from now on?" Huo Boxiong was afraid that he would not have many opportunities to be so humble in his life, but in order to establish a new image in front of Huo Junge, Huo Boxiong could only adjust his communication strategy with Huo Junge.
"Let's maintain the status quo between us for now. If you have anything, please ask your secretary to contact my assistant to arrange a time. I will be very busy recently." Huo Junge didn't want to bother pretending to be a loving father and son with Huo Boxiong, so he poured cold water on Huo Boxiong.
"You - then why not wait for another day? How about going home for dinner in the evening?" Huo Boxiong pursued relentlessly.
It is now more difficult to meet Huo Junge than to meet the president. If Huo Boxiong had not arranged several groups of people to stake out at the intersection of the private driveway of Mo Yinchuan's private residence, and happened to see Huo Junge driving by, they would have deduced that Huo Junge was visiting Mo Yinchuan's house. Huo Boxiong would have rushed over immediately after receiving the news.
Huo Boxiong was also certain that the security guards and servants of Mo Yinchuan's family would not dare to stop the old man directly. Huo Boxiong gambled several times along the way to win such an opportunity to meet Huo Junge. How could he give up easily before achieving his goal?
"I'm even less free today. As for the reason, it's not convenient for you to know." Huo Junge was a little uncomfortable with himself being so important in Huo Boxiong's eyes.
Are you still being entangled?
"No matter how busy you are, you can always find time. How about squeezing in some time today?" Huo Boxiong asked, displaying the never-give-up spirit of an old entrepreneur.
"I can't resist." Huo Junge refused without hesitation.
After saying this, Huo Junge stopped arguing and, ignoring Huo Boxiong's lost look and expression, he stood up and left.
It was originally agreed that Jiang Yun and Jiang Tiantian would have afternoon tea alone as mother and daughter. Instead of staying here and being besieged by Huo Boxiong using various means, Huo Junge thought it would be better to ask his wife and daughter to help carry the bags and swipe the card.
Huo Boxiong might be really old, and he could only watch Huo Junge leave without being able to do anything.
After Huo Junge left, Huo Boxiong had no choice but to look for Mo Yinchuan all over the garden again.
"Chuan, Junge told me just now. Thank you for helping my uncle persuade him." Huo Junge found Mo Yinchuan who was pruning a Podocarpus tree in the woods of the garden.
There are hundreds of huge Podocarpus trees planted in the back garden of Mo Yinchuan's villa. Each tree is towering into the clouds, with dense branches and leaves, like a green screen. Their crowns are dense and thick, and the green leaves are intertwined together to form small shaded spaces.
The trunks of these Podocarpus trees are straight and tall, like huge green bamboos. Their bark is smooth and hard, with varying shades of green, revealing the traces of time and the power of nature.
Each Podocarpus tree has a unique shape. Some branches stretch out in all directions like a huge green umbrella; some branches curl upward, shaped like a blooming flower; and some branches grow in an intertwined manner, like a beautiful painting.
These Podocarpus trees exude a light fragrance that makes people feel relaxed and happy. When the breeze blows, the leaves make a rustling sound, as if whispering the mysteries of nature.
In this back garden, hundreds of huge Podocarpus trees together form a spectacular scene. They lean against each other and support each other, as if they are a group of warriors guarding their homeland.
These Podocarpus trees not only add a sense of tranquility and beauty to Mo Yinchuan's manor, but also become a spiritual sustenance and spiritual comfort for the residents, allowing everyone strolling in this green ocean to feel the power of nature and the vitality of life.
Podocarpus is a precious ornamental plant, each of which is worth a lot of money. It can be called a treasure in the plant world. The varieties in Mo Yinchuan's villa estate are even rarer.
Podocarpus is a rare plant species with a long growth cycle and is difficult to reproduce. Its supply in the market is extremely limited, and its scarcity increases its value.
In addition to its beautiful shape, the Podocarpus tree has an elegant posture and lush branches and leaves, like a green screen. Its unique shape and beautiful appearance make it a leader among ornamental plants and is loved by people.
Podocarpus has strong vitality and adaptability and can withstand extreme climate and environmental conditions. This durability makes it widely used in the horticultural field, further pushing up its value.
With high cultural value, Podocarpus has a special status in traditional Chinese culture and is regarded as a symbol of good luck, longevity and blessing. Therefore, it is often used in courtyard greening and interior decoration, implying auspiciousness and good wishes.
As a collection and investment, Podocarpus has become a target for collectors due to its rarity and ornamental value. Many wealthy investors regard Podocarpus as an investment product, buying and collecting them in the hope of obtaining higher returns.
Under the guidance of the servant, Huo Boxiong walked slowly towards the magnificent Podocarpus garden with his crutches. Even though Huo Boxiong had seen a lot of the world, he couldn't help but envy Mo Yinchuan in his heart for this large Podocarpus garden.
Planting this kind of tree in the backyard, in addition to the sky-high price of purchase, there is also the energy and effort required to maintain it. A single small tree can easily cost millions, and these in Mo Yinchuan's backyard...
I'm afraid that each one is worth over 10 million and there is no demand for it.
The most important thing is that not many young people of Mo Yinchuan's age are in the mood to grow Podocarpus. If they have money, they would rather play with cars and women. It is really rare to find someone like Mo Yinchuan who can concentrate on growing trees.
Huo Boxiong envied Mo Yinchuan for having the good fortune to feel the deep meaning of life in his prime and the ability to broaden the breadth of his life.
Mo Yinchuan was seen wearing a casual workwear-style outfit, a straw hat on his head, holding a pair of scissors in his hands, concentrating on pruning trees. His outstanding height, upright figure, and proud muscle lines showed Mo Yinchuan's outstanding temperament and charm from every angle.
Mo Yinchuan's posture is upright, and his movements are skillful and powerful, as if he is an experienced gardener. The sunlight shines on his body through the gaps between the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow, adding a touch of mystery to him.
The scissors in Mo Yinchuan's hands danced flexibly, and each cut was precise and decisive. Mo Yinchuan examined each branch with a professional eye and high-quality aesthetic vision to ensure that their growth direction and shape met his requirements.
This Podocarpus is a favorite tree of Mo Yinchuan. It is tall and straight, with a dense crown, like a verdant pagoda. Its branches and leaves are lush, overlapping, forming small spaces, as if it is a secret place in nature.
Mo Yinchuan takes good care of every tree, taking time out regularly to prune, water and fertilize them. He cares for them with all his heart, as seriously as he would his own business.
In this backyard, Mo Yinchuan and Podocarpus depend on each other and have become each other's best partners for a long time. They grow up together under the sun and witness each other's changes and growth together.
In this scene, Mo Yinchuan showed his unique temperament. He was no longer the cold and overbearing president, but a gardener who loved life and nature. His eyes were soft and warm, revealing his awe and cherishment for life.
What's even more rare is that soon after getting married, Mo Yinchuan discovered that Jiang Tiantian had the same hobby as he did. Jiang Tiantian's understanding and love for Podocarpus was no less than Mo Yinchuan's. During the weekends, the two of them often took their children to this forest to prune, water and manage the plants, which was so pleasant.
This weekend, Huo Junge and Jiang Yunben had agreed to spend two days at Mo Yinchuan's villa, and take care of the Podocarpus together on Sunday. I wonder if Huo Boxiong's sudden appearance will change Huo Junge's plan?
Mo Yinchuan didn't bother to guess until the person involved spoke.
"Mr. Huo, please watch your step." Mo Yinchuan nodded and continued with his work without saying anything more.
Bai Youming was sitting on a lazy chair under a tree not far behind Mo Yinchuan. Bai Youming was very good with a scalpel, but Mo Yinchuan couldn't compare to him in pruning the Podocarpus.
Mo Yinchuan didn't ask anything and didn't respond. He just reminded Huo Boxiong to be careful with his feet, which made Huo Boxiong at a loss as to how to continue the conversation.
"Hey - I just wanted to come here in person to thank you for saying a lot of good things about me in front of Jun Ge." Huo Boxiong looked at Mo Yinchuan on the ladder with a smile.
"Mr. Huo, where did you get these words from? I only had the opportunity to have a good chat with Junge today, and you're here before we've been chatting for just a few minutes." Mo Yinchuan didn't dare to take credit for himself, nor did he intend to fall into Huo Boxiong's topic trap.
Mo Yinchuan wisely knew that the less he talked to the old man in front of him, the better, and it would be best not to talk to him if possible.
"Hey, I know you hope that we father and son can get back together. I'm very grateful for your kindness. I'm sorry to have come here uninvited today and disturbed your vacation. Why didn't I see Mrs. Xiao Mo?" Huo Boxiong started the topic enthusiastically.
"Mrs. Mo had something to do at noon, so she went out and will be back later. You are the elder, and we, the younger generation, can't say anything if you come uninvited. But next time, you'd better call me and let me know, so that the security guards outside will not be rude and bump into you, which will accidentally damage the harmony between the two families. I can't explain to my grandfather. There are other banquets arranged at home in the afternoon, so I won't keep Mr. Huo. Is your driver here? If the driver has gone back, I will ask the driver at home to take you?" Mo Yinchuan followed the words and saw the guest off.
As soon as Mo Yinchuan said this, Bai Youming, who was drinking a limited edition bottle of red wine comfortably not far away, almost choked himself to death on the wine he had just taken a sip of.
I couldn't help but secretly give Mo Yinchuan a thumbs up.
"Uh - something happened at home, and I was thinking of taking the opportunity to chat with you more." Horberg was probably planning to be as shameless as he could be and stay with Mo Yinchuan to see if there was any way he could get Hor Junge to change his mind.
As a father, Huo Boxiong felt helpless that his truly capable child had such a strong personality.
"Mr. Huo, it's really unfortunate that my family has other arrangements this weekend and it's inconvenient to entertain you. Please make yourself comfortable." Mo Yinchuan was not afraid that Huo Boxiong would play dumb, he had plenty of plain words to say.
"Alas - what an unfortunate thing. The old man should go back first. He didn't have a good talk with Junge. If there is a chance, Chuan, can you help me persuade Junge more? He has many good things outside, but his original family must be good to be truly good. What do you think?" Mo Yinchuan's intention to send him away was obvious. Huo Boxiong wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it, but he couldn't continue pretending. He had to ask Mo Yinchuan for help first.
"Mr. Huo, you think too highly of me. Junge and you are both my elders. We juniors have no right to speak in front of our elders. If you have anything to say, just tell Junge yourself. The housekeeper said that a car has been arranged for Mr. Huo. Please go ahead. Old Bai, there are a lot of small gravel here. How about I take Mr. Huo there?" Mo Yinchuan turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of Bai Youming and called softly.
"Of course, but the butler is here, it would be more appropriate for him to send us off." Bai Youming was about to get up when he saw Mo Yinchuan's butler walking quickly towards him from afar.
"..." Mo Yinchuan stopped talking, and Huo Boxiong was also speechless. The young people nowadays are really different from the young people of their time. The young people nowadays speak nice social language, but their actions are very selfish.
Huo Boxiong could also see that Mo Yinchuan and Bai Youming were reluctant to have too much contact with him, as if they were afraid of touching something bad. This feeling made Huo Boxiong uncomfortable, just like Huo Junge's rejection of him.
This feeling is very complicated, just like no one wants to be an unwelcome person. This is how Huo Boxiong feels at this moment. In their eyes, he is an unwelcome and troublesome person who should be avoided if possible.
