No one knew whether they were dead or alive let alone the state of the union assignment.

Although Meryl’s schemes had failed, its effect was satisfactory.

As for Huo Yao, it was disappointing that she did not perish in the ambush, but this effect was good enough for them.

Even though there was still Huo Yulin to worry about, once they eliminated Huo Yulin during the voting process, Huo Wanying would become the future heir.

Once both their chances to become heir got blown, Master Jinfeng’s family line could forget about ever controlling the family.

Eldest Elder contemplated briefly and stood up before long. He glanced at everyone present, cleared his throat, and wanted to speak when Huo Changfeng entered the room unhurriedly.

“Was I late?”

The moment they heard Huo Changfeng’s voice, everyone turned to look in unison.

Huo Changfeng was never the sort to smile. He had worked for Master Jinfeng for years and he had a very intimidating aura.

Xie followed behind him.

Eldest Elder and Huo Qing were unsurprised by Huo Changfeng’s presence, but they could not say the same on seeing Xie. Something changed in their eyes.

They did not expect to see Xie here.

Huo Changfeng walked up beside Eldest Elder, pursed his lips, and looked at him. “Miss Huo is busy and can’t be here, so I’m here on her behalf. I’m sure you won’t mind, right, Eldest Elder?”

As they made eye contact, a complicated undercurrent could be sensed. Eldest Elder smiled. “Chief Steward, by all means, go ahead.”

“Uh huh.” Huo Changfeng nodded. “Eldest Elder, ever so kind as usual.”

Saying this, he turned, walked up beside Huo Yulin, and sat down.

A vicious look swept across Eldest Elder’s eyes briefly, but he could not openly expose Huo Changfeng for his sarcasm. He could only say, “Even though you can represent Miss Huo, has she finished her assignment?”

Huo Changfeng raised his chin and gestured to Xie.

Xie straightened his back. He walked over with the document and placed the contract on the table in front of Eldest Elder. “We were already done signing the contract the same day we arrived. Sadly, the mayor insisted on showing us around town, so we were held up a little. My apologies.”

Xie sounded as though he was explaining things, but everyone knew he was deliberately saying this.

The elders instantly felt annoyed.

Was this no different than a slap in their faces?

Eldest Elder sighed inwardly. He reached his hand out to take the contract. Just as he was about to flip through the document and confirm it was properly signed on the last page, Xie’s voice could be heard again.

“Oh yes. The Sangry Town mayor voluntarily agreed to increase our profit by a few percent. Also, they gave us a few more projects. Everything is in the contract. Why don’t you take a look, Eldest Elder?”

Eldest Elder clenched his fists instantly. After detecting this inappropriate reaction, he gathered his thoughts, composed himself, and gritted his teeth. “Okay then.”

He went through every single page of the contract.

Xie pursed his lips seeing this.

He could read for as long as he wanted. The real finale was right at the back.

Huo Yulin paid no attention to Eldest Elder’s reaction. He simply turned to look at Huo Changfeng and asked softly, “Uncle Changfeng, why did Yaoyao send you to represent her? Did something happen to her?”

When Huo Yulin heard about the ambush, he called his little sister immediately, but he could not help feeling worried.

Now that Huo Yao was absent, Huo Yulin felt even more worried.

Huo Changfeng simply looked at Huo Yulin calmly for sometime before he finally spat a few words. “You really need to learn from your sister. If you want to be the boss, you need to keep your cool first.”

He was very worried about his little sister and it was written all over his face. Why was there such a huge difference between them?

Sure enough, once they were compared, Huo Yulin looked bad.

Huo Changfeng did not want to talk to Huo Yulin, so he veered his head.

Huo Yulin did not know what to say.
