Chapter 355: Is that really enough?
"Humph."
Seeing that Lu Siyuan remained silent again, Mr. Huo snorted heavily again and slammed the cane in his hand heavily to the ground.
"Dad, I really don't know what you want me to do."
"Didn't Jingxiu tell you?" asked Mr. Huo.
Lu Siyuan shook his head. "She just told me to listen to you and not talk back. Whatever you say is what it is."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Siyuan could clearly feel that most of the wire that had been on his body had instantly disappeared. It seemed that his words had touched Mr. Huo's heart.
"That's enough. You two only know how to make me happy." Mr. Huo's tone softened a lot. "I asked you to come here this time to ask, how are you doing there?"
Lu Siyuan subconsciously straightened his back as he answered, "Very good. There are many opportunities for testing there. I know you want me to adapt and grow well there. I will definitely not let you down."
An official and polite answer.
Mr. Huo shook his head and said, "Come here and play chess with me."
Lu Siyuan was stunned.
You know, not everyone has the opportunity to play chess with Mr. Huo.
Old Master Huo took out a black piece, and the piece and the chessboard made a crisp sound when it fell.
"Tell me the truth, what do you think of the company over there? Does it have a future?" asked Mr. Huo.
Lu Siyuan said as he put down the white piece, "Yes. There is definitely a future for development there."
He City was the market that Mr. Huo insisted on developing, which was a stupid move that was criticized by others.
At the beginning, Mr. Huo was confident that He City had the domestic market and could become the new territory of the Huo Group, and it might even be able to work together with Beijing City.
However, after it was finalized, the original plan for the development of He City set by the state was not promoted for a long time and was instead shelved.
Therefore, Lu Siyuan would never dare to say that the development prospects of He City are not good. If he said so, wouldn’t he be slapping Mr. Huo in the face?
"Really?" Mr. Huo made a move quickly, as if he hadn't thought about it. "But, I think the business territory of He City may be removed from the territory of Huo's Group."
Lu Siyuan was stunned when he heard this.
withdraw?
What does Mr. Huo mean by this?
What is he hinting at?
Does he have other meanings?
"He City has not developed much over the years. Other places cannot keep up with the development. Our company will just waste time there. It is better to transfer people abroad or to other regions, maybe there will be better development."
Mr. Huo raised his chin and said, "Haven't you decided what to do next?"
Lu Siyuan came back to his senses and quickly made a move.
"Thinking." Lu Siyuan replied.
"What do you think?" Mr. Huo asked, "Do you think we should withdraw the company from He City? As for the staff currently in He City, should other people be transferred?"
Lu Siyuan was stunned by Mr. Huo's questions.
He knew that whether he answered "yes" or "no" was a wrong answer.
If that was the case, then it would prove that what he said before was a lie, and it would probably leave a bad impression on Mr. Huo.
If it shouldn't be said, could this sentence be another conspiracy of Mr. Huo?
Lu Siyuan thought about it and did not answer directly.
There was another crisp click on the chessboard, and Mr. Huo placed another piece.
"Just say whatever you think. There's no need to worry about other things." Mr. Huo said, "We're just chatting. You don't have to be so defensive against me."
"Yes, yes, yes. I just don't know how to answer your question." Lu Siyuan touched the tip of his nose with a wry smile.
"Just tell me what you think. No need to say those flattering words."
It seemed as if Mr. Huo could see through Lu Siyuan's thoughts.
"Yes." Lu Siyuan licked his dry lips, "Well, there are development opportunities in He City, but you also know that being limited to a region is not good for development."
"So, He City has never developed." Lu Siyuan did not forget to look at Mr. Huo when he said this, trying to see some other meaning in his eyes, "If the country can increase its investment in He City, then we will definitely be able to develop different business landscapes in a suitable place."
Lu Siyuan's answer can be said to be comprehensive and flawless.
Mr. Huo's expression didn't change much.
This also made Lu Siyuan suddenly feel relieved.
"Not going down yet?" asked Mr. Huo.
Lu Siyuan finally reacted and quickly placed a move.
However, this move was made too hastily, and Lu Siyuan did not notice the strange expression on Mr. Huo's face and his slightly raised brows.
"What do you think?" Lu Siyuan asked respectfully.
After Mr. Huo slowly placed a move, he said, "Me? I'm naturally not optimistic about He City, but we have already invested too much money and manpower in He City in the early stage. It would not be a good thing if we withdraw rashly now."
"After all, you know. The cost of this investment is not so easy to recover. Unless we intend to make Heshi a bad debt."
"Yes, yes." Lu Siyuan echoed.
Mr. Huo glanced at him and shook his head, "Don't you have any opinions of your own?"
Lu Siyuan was silent again.
"Okay, let's play chess." Old Master Huo seemed too lazy to see him like this. He waved his hand and didn't ask any more questions.
Lu Siyuan put down the chess piece as if he had been pardoned.
It was just that he made a few bad moves in the early stages, and the subsequent moves couldn't save him, so he fell into a disadvantage after just a few moves.
Seeing how badly the chess piece played, Mr. Huo snorted coldly, "Your skills are not good enough. Jing Xiu recommended you to me at the beginning, saying that you are a good chess player."
"Now it seems that it is nothing more than that."
Lu Siyuan didn't dare to say anything.
"Okay, go let Jingxiu in." said Mr. Huo.
Lu Siyuan hurriedly stood up and walked out.
The door of the study was opened and closed.
Mr. Huo's gaze fell on Huo Jingxiu.
Mr. Huo was quietly tidying up the chessboard in front of him.
Huo Jingxiu wanted to lend a hand, but Mr. Huo raised his hand to block him, "Just sit down."
"Yes."
Huo Jingxiu sat upright.
"Lu Siyuan, do you want him to come back?" Mr. Huo asked after putting the last black piece into the chessboard.
"Yes..." Huo Jingxiu answered directly, "You know, he and I don't have any children yet. It's not a good thing for a couple to be separated for a long time."
Mr. Huo hummed, "Indeed."
Huo Jingxiu saw hope and hurriedly said, "Dad, Siyuan knows he is wrong. You know he has some flaws, but he is not the kind of person who cannot tell right from wrong. This punishment is enough."
"Is that really enough?"
