Before Chapter 682, he still called her "Dad".
"Goodbye, Uncle," Sui Sui greeted politely.
"Goodbye." Huo Sinian ruffled his hair and left with his secretary, Ye.
Not long after.
Only Jiang Ruan, Huo Zhizhou, and a few others remained at the scene.
Aside from that brief human-computer interaction, the two looked at each other without speaking. Each held a complex emotion in their eyes that only they themselves knew.
“Uncle Huo,” Sui Sui broke the silence, “we’ve come all this way to see you, are you planning to leave us standing here forever?”
"Sorry," Huo Zhizhou said to Jiang Ruan, "You must be tired after such a long flight. I had Jiang Yu book a restaurant for you. Let's go eat first."
"Okay." Jiang Ruan's expression remained calm.
On the way to the restaurant.
Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui rode in one car, while Huo Zhizhou rode in his own car.
Lin Bei was in charge of driving Jiang Ruan's car. After looking at Jiang Ruan, whose temperament was very different from before, he took the initiative to start a conversation: "It's been a while since I last saw you, Miss Jiang, you've become more and more elegant."
Mo Mo: "Don't force a conversation if you don't know how to chat."
Lin Bei: "?"
Lin Bei glanced at Mo Mo in the passenger seat and said, "I was exchanging pleasantries with Miss Jiang."
“No need for pleasantries, boss.” Mo Mo saw through his intentions at a glance. “Just drive.”
Lin Bei: "I..."
Mo Mo: "If you don't know how to drive, let me do it."
Upon hearing this...
Lin Bei immediately smiled.
He glanced at Mo Mo out of the corner of his eye and said with a hint of teasing, "Sure, but do you have a driver's license here?"
Mo Mo paused.
Did they realize then that they had moved to a different location?
Domestic driver's licenses are not valid here.
"What does silence mean? There can't be nothing, can there?" Lin Bei looked surprised, as if he was shocked by this matter. "I heard that you are Miss Jiang's special assistant."
Mo Mo asked, "Jiang Yuyou?"
Lin Bei: Yes, not only him, but Lin Feng and I both have it.
Mo Mo subconsciously glanced behind her.
“Miss Jiang is now Director Jiang of the Qin Group, with so many businesses under her control. It’s inevitable that she’ll have overseas partners in the future.” Lin Bei spoke seriously, but was actually deliberately trying to embarrass Mo Mo. “You don’t even have a foreign driver’s license, are you comfortable letting her ride in someone else’s car?”
I'm not at ease.
This was Mo Mo's first reaction.
"Where can I take a driving test?" Mo Mo asked.
Lin Bei: "??"
Lin Bei was a little taken aback.
He went so far as to say that he couldn't beat him and couldn't even protect their BOSS's safety. Why isn't he playing by the rules?
"You don't know?" Mo Mo still spoke in a human-machine tone.
Lin Bei: "I know."
Mo Mo: "Take me there tomorrow."
Lin Bei: "Okay..."
Um?
How come it's all right?
"You're not angry?" He was somewhat surprised.
Mo Mo: "?"
Mo Mo has a naturally beautiful face, but she doesn't have many expressions: "What are you angry about?"
"I was just belittling you." This was the first time Lin Bei had encountered someone like Mo Mo.
Mo Mo: "But you're right."
Lin Bei had a string of question marks on his forehead.
This kid...
"The boss's safety should not be entrusted to others." Mo Mo is a very serious person. Once he decides to do something, he will do it to the extreme. "Since I have decided to be the boss's future special assistant, I should be an all-rounder."
Lin Bei didn't know what to say for a moment.
He used to think that Mo Mo was a pretty good fighter, and that he and Lin Feng combined were no match for him. Now he realized that Mo Mo's seriousness about things far exceeded theirs.
He's not here to just coast along.
It's not about the money.
Rather, they simply wanted to do their job well.
These are practically born beasts!
"Boss," Mo Mo said to Jiang Ruan, "I'd like to ask you for a few days off."
"You don't need to worry about the driver." Jiang Ruan didn't expect him to be a jack-of-all-trades; what he was doing now was enough. "I'll have someone find a suitable one."
Mo Mo: "No."
Jiang Ruan was about to speak.
Mo Mo then added, "Besides Tang Bai, I don't trust anyone else to take over the driver's position."
Lin Bei: "???"
Lin Bei glanced at the steering wheel in front of him, coughed lightly, and said, "But you've handed it over to me now, haven't you?"
"I'm in the passenger seat. I can subdue you the moment you make a sound and protect the boss's safety." Mo Mo's words were as human as ever, but his eyes were unusually serious.
Lin Bei wanted to refute.
Then he realized he was no match for this kid.
"I'll ask you for a few days off and I promise I'll get my driver's license as soon as possible," Mo Mo said to Jiang Ruan. "If you feel bad about it, just give me a raise."
Seeing his insistence, Jiang Ruan agreed: "Okay."
They were described as special assistants, drivers, and bodyguards.
Mo Mo and Tang Bai are actually more like her older and younger brothers.
She had previously wanted them to go about their own business, offering them resources and connections if needed, but the two were determined to stay by her side.
"You've taken leave, who will protect Miss Jiang's safety?" Lin Bei asked.
Mo Mo: "I've made arrangements."
Lin Bei: "What arrangements?"
Ms. Jiang has not been a shareholder of the Qin Group for very long.
I've been in Haicheng for less than a year.
Their influence and connections probably haven't yet penetrated overseas.
Mo Mo glanced at him but did not answer.
The day before he left, his wife and Chairman Li both approached him, telling him that if he couldn't leave or needed to use their connections abroad, he could do so at any time.
Besides, her ex-husband was also there.
Given how much he cares about his boss now, the boss won't be harmed.
“Uncle Lin.” Sui Sui, who had been sitting next to him eating melon seeds, suddenly spoke up, her voice crisp and clear.
Lin Bei immediately switched his attitude: "Young Master, what's wrong?"
"I noticed Dad didn't look well just now. Is it because he didn't eat?" Sui Sui asked.
Lin Bei was taken aback.
Somewhat surprisingly, he didn't know the boss hadn't eaten.
The boss even told him to say he'd been working overtime and staying up all night.
"Uncle Lin, why aren't you saying anything?" Sui Sui asked.
"No." Lin Bei thought for a while, and then said according to Huo Zhizhou's idea, "It's because he's been working overtime and staying up late these past two days. He thought that since you've come all this way, he should make time to play with you."
Sui Sui: "I see."
Lin Bei: "Yes."
Sui Sui nodded.
Listening to this conversation, Jiang Ruan tried to say something.
After all, she had told Sui Sui about the situation before, and now Lin Bei was saying this...
Amidst a variety of emotions.
The car arrived at the restaurant.
When Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui got out of the car, Huo Zhizhou was already waiting there. His gaze fell on Jiang Ruan, and just as he was about to speak, Sui Sui next to him said, "Uncle Huo."
Huo Zhizhou's expression was gentle: "Didn't you call me 'Dad' before?"
Sui Sui pretended to have amnesia: "When? I don't know."
Huo Zhizhou leaned down and pinched his cheek.
Feeling the warm fingers on her face, Sui Sui glanced at her mother talking to Mo Mo beside her, and immediately whispered to Huo Zhizhou, "I saw through your little tricks."
Huo Zhizhou: "What?"
Sui Sui turned her face away: "Hmph!"
You're still acting with him!
