Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 182 What does the eldest brother think of that young man from the Huo family?
After watching Su Ruoyun step into the courtyard, Huo Jingcheng instructed the driver to drive off. The Cullinan did not head towards the Bank of China, but instead went to Hengfeng first.

Su Mingyan pushed the cooperation project to Su Zhanyu, and to show his sincerity, Su Zhanyu naturally had to perform well.

The appointment time was 10 a.m., but the Cullinan arrived at the entrance of Hengfeng Building at 9:30 a.m.

Huo Jingcheng calmly opened the car door and got out, dressed in a suit and tie, looking unusually serious. The driver, wearing white gloves, drove the car to the parking lot.

……

The top floor of Hengfeng Building.

"Huo Jingcheng?" Su Zhanyu looked up from the documents and stared at him calmly. His face was imposing without being angry, and his eyes were unfathomable like a deep pool, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on him.

Under his solemn scrutiny, Huo Jingcheng restrained his usual demeanor and temperament, and said, "Yes."

Just then, the secretary brought two cups of tea and placed them quietly on the desk.

Su Zhanyu took a sip and looked at him. "Come to think of it, it's been many years since the two of us sat down together to discuss business."

"It's been three years. The last collaboration with you was a bridge project overseas," Huo Jingcheng stated accurately.

Unlike Su Mingyan, who chose to pursue further studies, he graduated at the age of twenty-three and went directly into the Bank of China. His initial cooperation projects with Hengfeng were all negotiated and coordinated with Su Zhanyu.

After Su Mingyan graduated and joined Hengfeng, Su Zhanyu gradually relinquished control, allowing his nephew to "take charge," effectively retiring to the second line.

In fact, Su Mingyan and Huo Jingcheng had already discussed the energy development cooperation project to a near certain extent, and all that was needed was to sign the agreement to finalize it.

So Su Zhanyu wasn't in a hurry. "I heard they've been thinking of moving into the medical device industry lately?"

Huo Jingcheng: "That's the idea."

In recent years, artificial intelligence has been gaining immense popularity, enjoying unparalleled prominence in the technology industry. Its integration with the medical field promises limitless market potential. Furthermore, the government's emphasis on this in its plans underscores its intention to inject momentum into this development.

Min Qinwen happens to own a biotechnology company.

"These new regulations have just been released, why do you still want to get in?"

"...In the pharmaceutical field, the government's ultimate goal is to improve people's livelihoods and well-being, while the fundamental purpose of businesses is to... also benefit..."

Su Zhanyu's eyes revealed his appreciation; this young man's abilities were extraordinary, and his thoughts far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Huo Jingcheng took a sip of tea and couldn't help but say, "Good tea."

Mentioning tea, Su Zhanyu smiled and pointed to the emerald green tea leaves floating and swirling in the teacup. "This tea was given to me by my niece. She personally went to Hangzhou to buy it from the tea farmers."

"She also opened a teahouse in the capital."

"'A River of Tobacco'?"

"You've been there too?" Huo Jingcheng knew that his niece's teahouse was doing well, mostly catering to high-ranking officials and dignitaries from the capital, so Su Zhanyu wasn't too surprised.

"I've been there a few times and bought some tea."

As he spoke, Huo Jingcheng noticed that Su Zhanyu's cup was empty, so he took the purple clay teapot next to him and filled it with tea.

Seeing his tea-making technique, Su Zhanyu pondered, "Judging from your tea-making skills, it doesn't seem like you've only been there once, but rather like you've fully inherited Ruoyun's 'true teachings'?"

Huo Jingcheng: "It was something I specifically learned from her."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhanyu paused for a moment, then his smile deepened.

……

Huo Jingcheng left half an hour later. Su Zhanyu looked down at the tea leaves that had sunk to the bottom of his teacup. After a long while, he made a phone call.

Su Zhanqi's phone number was kept by his secretary.

After a short wait, Su Zhanqi's voice came through, "What is it?"

"What does elder brother think of that young man from the Huo family?"

After descending to the top floor, Huo Jingcheng didn't rush to leave but instead went to Su Mingyan's office.

At that moment, Su Mingyan was in her office receiving a cross-border phone call.

Peng Ran's workstation was located at the entrance of the president's office. Upon seeing Huo Jingcheng, he quickly stood up and said, "President Huo."

"Where's your CEO, Mr. Su?" Huo Jingcheng asked as he walked toward his office, his hands in his pockets.

“He’s inside,” Peng Ran whispered, thinking Huo Jingcheng was unaware that Su Mingyan didn’t want to see him. “President Su said about the cooperation—”

Before he could finish speaking, Huo Jingcheng interrupted him, saying succinctly, "I know, you need to talk to him about something else."

After saying that, he pushed open the office door.

Seeing this, Peng Ran could only gesture with her eyes to the other assistants to make tea.

Meanwhile, Su Mingyan was on the phone by the French windows when he heard a slight noise. He turned to look at the door and saw Huo Jingcheng. His eyes flickered, and then a question came from the receiver.

The business partner on the other end of the phone asked him if he was alright, and suggested they call back later. Apparently, the sound of the door opening could also be heard on the other end.

“It’s alright, please continue.” Su Mingyan spoke in a perfect British accent.

Huo Jingcheng, without any hesitation, sat directly on the guest sofa, his long legs, encased in trousers, naturally crossed, leaning against the leather sofa.

The assistant brought over a cup of coffee and placed it on the coffee table in front of Huo Jingcheng.

It was more than ten minutes after Su Mingyan hung up the phone. He casually walked to a single sofa on the side and sat down. "What are you doing here?"

Huo Jingcheng lifted his eyelids to meet his eyes and suddenly said, "Thanks."

He sincerely thanked Su Mingyan.

Su Mingyan pretended not to know, gave a cold laugh, his chest trembling slightly, and glanced at him sideways: "What are you thanking me for? If you have nothing to say, then get out."

In the end, he was still helping Huo Jingcheng and Su Ruoyun.

……

Huo Jingcheng had a dinner party tonight, so Su Ruoyun was happy to go back to her apartment and eat spicy crayfish.

Huo Jingcheng has never liked strong-flavored food and often complains that it tastes like dead fish or rotten shrimp.

She sat cross-legged on the carpet, wearing multiple layers of disposable gloves on both hands to avoid scratching and getting her hands dirty.

On the coffee table in front of him was a large plate of crayfish and a bottle of low-alcohol sparkling wine.

Su Ruoyun was watching a movie and eating when suddenly the doorbell rang. Slightly surprised, she got up to open the door.

A tall figure appeared at the door; it was Huo Jingcheng.

"How did you come?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Ruoyun subconsciously looked up and glanced at the brightly lit surveillance camera above the corner of the wall.

With Su Mingyan's "threat," she dared not "go against the grain" and simply closed the door, refusing Huo Jingcheng entry.

"Don't come in, go back to your own big villa..."

Her voice echoed in the apartment, and the doorbell rang again and again.

The security door was soundproof, and the doorbell kept ringing. Su Ruoyun wasn't sure if Huo Jingcheng had heard her, so she carefully opened the door a crack and tried to talk to him through the narrow gap.

But the next second, the door was pushed open from the outside in by a force. Su Ruoyun was caught off guard and was startled. She subconsciously took a step back and her fingers uncontrollably let go of the doorknob.

Huo Jingcheng took the opportunity to step inside, squeezing through the narrow gap. As he stepped into the room, he hooked and kicked the door shut with a loud bang.

Su Ruoyun: "..."

Is it that wild?
