Huo Zun’s empire has reached its current status thanks to Huo Zun’s powerful judgment and decision-making skills that far exceed those of ordinary men.

Inside the meeting room.

Everyone looked at Huo Zun’s determined blue eyes, already aware of Huo Zun’s temperament and knew that his words were absolute.

Hua Nuan sensed the tense atmosphere and pursed her lips, saying, "Mr. Jerry, you just mentioned Chinese medicine treatment. May I ask what your stance is?"

Jerry, being directly named, immediately replied, "I am wholeheartedly in support of Madam and Mr. Huo’s decision."

"Hmm, thank you."

Hua Nuan smiled slightly while Huo Zun scanned the room, waiting for any objections.

"Mr. Huo, to be frank, now lacking the European market, if you further invest in Chinese medicine research, I’m concerned."

The board member hesitated to speak, clearly unused to disturbance in their comfortable lifestyle, reluctant for further turmoil.

"Indeed..."

Inwardly, everyone murmured, not knowing who maliciously spoke from the corner.

"Look at what I found... Oh my, everyone, hurry and check the news."

"What’s the news, why such a fuss."

"It’s Huo Si, he announced that within three days, his European Company would launch a new anti-cancer drug."

"Ah, this is the biggest advancement in history."

"Indeed, Huo Si truly dares to speak."

"Exactly..."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Hua Nuan squinted her almond eyes, noticing a scheming board member in the corner with shifty eyes and malicious intent.

Hua Nuan’s lips curled with a faint sarcasm; Huo Si seemed experienced, knowing how to place insiders.

But whether the insider was arranged by Huo Si or foresighted Isabella remained unknown.

Huo Zun’s blue eyes were calm like water, showing no emotion as he scanned the room with a slight tug of his lips.

"Hmm... if the European market grows stronger under Huo Si’s control, separating from Mr. Huo’s management, the trouble will be big."

"Exactly, anti-cancer drugs we have researched for three years, recently showing some efficacy, without a significant breakthrough, how did he develop it?"

"What shall we do now."

Huo Zun casually glanced at everyone, though they seemed chatty, their gazes were all fixed on him.

Clearly awaiting his opinion.

Huo Zun’s thin lips pursed, finally someone daring to cautiously inquire, "Mr. Huo, what are your thoughts on developing the new anti-cancer drug."

"No thoughts at the moment."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Hua Nuan was startled, looking at Huo Zun, remembering her visit to the man’s laboratory filled with anti-cancer research experiments and a heap of literature.

How could he have no thoughts?

Huo Zun was evidently prepared.

Huo Zun’s thin lips curled as he lounged in his chair, his sharp eyes casually swept over the room as he spoke.

"Hmm, if anyone is interested in Huo Si’s launch of the anti-cancer drug and wishes to withdraw their shares from me and shift to Huo Si, I have no objections. However, I will only transfer shares at half the market price to everyone."

At this point, Huo Zun added, "Although it’s half the price, compared to your initial investment, it’s more than a hundred times greater. I think cashing in when the going is good is a prudent choice, far better than facing a future stock crash and losing your capital."

"Of course, if everyone trusts me enough, then please continue. I can make your assets in hand multiply by a hundred times, ensuring your descendants are carefree."

Huo Zun’s words were extremely straightforward.

If you wish to leave, I won’t hold you back.

"Also, everyone present, I understand many of your work focuses on Europe. So naturally, there’s no need to stay with me in Yuncheng City, after all, staying by my side—what exactly are you after, some may be well aware."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Initially unclear about Huo Zun’s intentions, now she understood.

The man intends to kick out the spies.

Usually, some old board members flaunt their past investments, doing nothing but scheming how to divide profits.

It’s a perfect opportunity for those misjudging Huo Zun’s capability, thinking of betrayal and retreating investment from his company.

At half the market price, kicking out traitors, filtering the entire management team is indeed a smart choice.

Hua Nuan’s lips subtly lifted, satisfied with Huo Zun’s performance.

Huo Zun’s words triggered some scheming individuals, thoughts stirring, their sly looks disgusted Hua Nuan.

Hua Nuan pursed her lips, small hands clenched, feeling somewhat nervous.

Her first encounter with the business world, its ruthlessness exceeded imagination.

"Mr. Huo... You..."

Everyone exchanged glances, some were tempted, others hesitant.

Huo Zun casually swept over everyone, then pursed his lips and said, "It’s getting late, meeting dismissed. If anyone is interested in selling shares, directly contact my assistant."

After speaking, Huo Zun stood up, directly took Hua Nuan’s small hand and walked toward the meeting room door.

The man’s palm was warm, Hua Nuan’s previous nervous sweat-covered hands were held tightly, her anxious heart gradually calmed, and she smiled.

...

Exiting the meeting room, Huo Zun inquired to his assistant beside him.

"How is the preparation for what I instructed you earlier?"

"Mr. Huo, I have sent invitations to renowned scholars and professors from major universities in the pharmaceutical field. A third have already replied accepting the invitation, planning to come to Yuncheng City for research."

"Hmm, arrange for them to conduct experiments in the new laboratory next door."

"Okay."

"Also, strictly screen and exclude any spies. Everyone’s phone is to be thoroughly checked."

"Yes, Mr. Huo."

"Hmm."

After the assistant respectfully left, Hua Nuan and Huo Zun walked hand in hand towards the elevator.

"Huo Zun, even though I’m still in the apprentice stage, may I research Tongkat Ali with Professor Huang?"

"Of course you can."

Huo Zun’s large hand fell on the woman’s slender waist, and he kissed her cheek and forehead.

"Little Nuannuan, you can do whatever you want to do."

The term "Little Nuannuan" was full of charm. Hearing those three words from the man, Hua Nuan felt a flutter in her heart. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and spoke slyly.

"Hmm, Huo Zun, do you think when the stocks are sold off this time, how many people will have such a large capital chain to supply?"

"Hmm, no problem."

Hua Nuan: "..."

The Huo Family’s stocks are not cheap.

It seems like Huo Zun had been prepared in advance.

Looking at the man’s inscrutable appearance, Hua Nuan couldn’t help but feel a complex emotion and curiously asked.

"Huo Zun, did you foresee this day back in London when you said to let Huo Si manage the European subsidiary?"

"Hmm?"

Huo Zun looked at the woman’s curious and investigative beautiful eyes, responding nonchalantly.

Hua Nuan: "..."

There’s something up!

Seeing the man not directly replying but indirectly affirming her words, Hua Nuan spoke with slight vexation.

"You’re truly too cunning."

By using Huo Si’s hand, he put enormous pressure on the Huo Family on the surface, but in reality, it was to weed out some shareholders in his company who neither worked nor were loyal.

Only offered half the market price.

Surely made a huge amount of money.

No wonder... the man always seemed so indifferent as if nothing was amiss.

Turns out he had prepared long ago.

In her heart, Hua Nuan felt nothing but disdain for the man.

"Smart Little Nuannuan."

Every company goes through a cyclical process of self-examination and self-reflection.

For future development, reforms are naturally indispensable.

Huo Zun greatly appreciated Hua Nuan’s intelligence, raised his hand to pinch her cheek, and affectionately asked, "What do you want for lunch?"

"Cantonese cuisine."

"Hmm. Didn’t you like Sichuan cuisine? Why not try it?"

"I do like it, but the butler told me your stomach hasn’t been well, so it’s better to avoid spicy food to prevent stomach issues."

Huo Zun watched as the little girl’s beautiful eyes shone like stars, her captivating gaze sparking, and his lips curled into a smile.

Hua Nuan, Hua Nuan...

Her name carries the word ’warm.’

He truly felt more and more warmth emanating from her inside and out.

Warmth aplenty, spreading recklessly into his heart.

...

As the two of them reached the ground floor of the company, they were met with a throng of media outside the doors, packed to the brim.

Hua Nuan wasn’t surprised, having faced such massive media gatherings before. With her clear and elegant eyes, she scanned the crowd. Her cherry lips twitched, and her small hand was tightly held by the man.

"I’ll take you to the parking garage first."

He didn’t want her to be besieged by the media, avoiding unnecessary harm.

"There’s no need; I’ll go with you."

Hua Nuan forced a faint smile and then took the initiative to hold onto the man’s large hand as they headed towards the entrance together.

The media had been somewhat assertive, eager to rush in, but upon seeing Huo Zun’s tall, indifferent figure, they quickly restrained themselves.

"Mr. Huo is here."

"Mr. Huo, what’s your view on Huo Si’s provocation?"

"Hmm, generally speaking, I have many ways to look at it. I can check the news through my phone or read the newspaper. Do any of you have other ways to recommend?"

Huo Zun was extremely witty and humorous, leaving the media both crying and laughing.

Hua Nuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, looking at Huo Zun’s charmingly devilish profile with an unspeakable pride within her heart.

"Ahem, Mr. Huo, well... Huo Si also said that the anti-cancer drug will be launched within three days. What are your thoughts on this? It’s been said that your medical team stationed in Europe is the world’s top tier... is it like making a wedding dress for someone else?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Zun’s thin lips curled slightly, and he casually replied.

"Sorry, I don’t see it that way. The aim of doing medical work is for the people of the world, relieving everyone from the distress of illness. Therefore, doing medical work is never for individuals or for profit."

"Thus, I look forward to seeing Huo Si’s work."

Huo Zun’s answer was excellent, leaving the media with no words to refute.
