Chapter 1044: Leaving the Past in the Wind
Huo Yan smiled rarely and rubbed Kou Xiaoquan's head:
"Xiao Quan can take care of his sister now. He has really grown up."
Kou Xiaoquan rubbed his head embarrassedly and laughed:
"I like playing with my sister."
Huo Yan looked at her daughter's big watery eyes, and then at Kou Xiaoquan. These two were her responsibilities that she could not shirk. She hoped that they could grow up healthy and safe.
After returning home, Huo Yan checked Kou Xiaoquan's homework and then took his daughter to take a bath.
She has now learned how to bathe her child. Although she is still clumsy, at least she is willing to try.
Zhuang Zhoucheng went into the bathroom to help her, telling her how to make Seventeen feel comfortable and how to prevent water from entering the child's ears.
Zhuang Zhoucheng took the lead and in the end he was the one who took care of everything. Huo Yan watched from the side. Compared with Zhuang Zhoucheng, she was just very stupid.
*
Huo Yan would occasionally visit the company, but most of the time she was at home taking care of the children.
The Oriental Pearl Tower was successfully completed at the end of the year, and Huo Yan finally gave the people of China and the United States a satisfactory result.
After the Oriental Pearl Tower, Huo Yan never took on any more projects.
Although he did not achieve any new achievements at work, he became much more easy-going and accepted a special invitation from Kyoto University to become a specially appointed lecturer there.
Whenever I have free time, I accept invitations from major universities to give lectures on campus, and occasionally participate in academic exchange meetings.
Life is lived at such a calm and slow pace, plain and warm.
Little Seventeen is one year old and can't say anything except calling "Dad". Huo Yan gets anxious whenever he teaches his daughter to speak.
Look at other people's children, they can walk by themselves at the age of one, but her daughter can't talk or walk. Huo Yan was anxious. After she got angry about teaching the child, Zhuang Zhoucheng protected her again.
When Xiao Shiqi was two years old, Huo Yan officially became a specially appointed tutor at Peking University and supervised several graduate students.
To be honest, she herself was only a returned master's student in the United States and was not qualified to supervise graduate students. She did not mind supervising undergraduates, but the school repeatedly emphasized that it believed she was capable of doing this and resolutely gave her the task of graduate student supervisor.
As soon as she signed the contract with the school, the school attached so much importance to her, so of course she had to put her heart into this job.
Huo Yan was teaching a class, but she didn't tell Zhuang Zhoucheng about it. The class was easy and not too busy, which was just enough to fill her boring time.
On Wednesday, Huo Yan came back from school and stopped his car outside the banker's gate. He got out and walked over.
"Yan Yan, you are finally back."
The slightly overweight woman ran towards Huo Yan when she saw him get out of the car. Huo Yan stopped the car because he thought she looked familiar.
"Cousin?"
Huo Yan was lucky enough not to have recognized the wrong person.
"Yan Yan, I need your help with something." Feng Chunling said with a smile.
"Uh……"
Huo Yan immediately thought of borrowing money. Perhaps he was a little worldly. "What's the matter?"
"The hotel is about to select a head of service, so could you please promote your cousin?"
Feng Chunling smiled a little embarrassedly. After all, it was not very nice to ask someone to do something for you and come empty-handed without buying anything.
But the truth is, this girl married into such a wealthy family, so nothing these poor relatives bought would appeal to her, so she came empty-handed.
"What hotel?" Huo Yan was a little confused.
Xin Ziqiang and Feng Chunling have been working at the Zhuangjia Hotel for more than a year. If Feng Chunling hadn't come to them today, Huo Yan would still not know about this.
The couple has been working outside for years and has moved to many cities but still hasn't saved any money.
They were among the invited guests at Huo Yan's wedding, and only then did they remember their successful little cousin. After the wedding, they rushed directly to Kyoto to join Huo Yan.
At first, they had nowhere to go and couldn't see anyone from the Zhuang family at all. After searching for a long time, they found their cousin's husband's company and produced their household registration and ID card to prove that they were indeed cousins from Huo Yan's mother's side. Only then did they meet Mr. Zhuang Sanye.
But even if they met Mr. Zhuang San, he wouldn't recognize them.
Zhuang Zhoucheng asked someone to verify the person's identity and then arranged for him to work in the hotel.
Tengfei Group does have many subsidiaries and various side businesses, but they all require technical skills. Only some things in the banker hotel do not require any technical skills.
Once transferred there, people will receive formal training and start work one month later.
This matter was too insignificant to Zhuang Zhoucheng, and he even forgot about it that day. How could he remember to mention it to Huo Yan?
Huo Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard what his cousin's wife said.
"Yan Yan, Yan Yan..."
Feng Chunling shouted twice in succession, wondering if she was willing to say something.
Huo Yan came back to his senses. "Well, I don't know much about hotels. The Zhuangjia Hotel is not San Ye's personal property, but the Zhuangjia's company. So San Ye may not be able to help with hotel positions."
She really didn't understand the Zhuang family's hotel, and she rarely heard Zhuang Zhoucheng mention it. It was the Zhuang family's family business. If it was about Tengfei, she could still talk about it, but the hotel...
"Yanyan, you're kidding. The Third Master is the patriarch of the Zhuang family. He has the final say in everything. He's just a supervisor. Yanyan, think about it. You're all alone in the capital. Now that our cousin and his wife are here, they can help you, right? Do you want others to say that your family has no one? Yanyan, your cousin and I have no bad intentions. We came to you out of the brother-sister relationship. To be honest, even if we open a small shop in Qingjiang, it's better than leaving our hometown."
Feng Chunling said earnestly:
"Your cousin wants to wait until our old house is demolished, then use the money to bring my parents-in-law to Beijing. By then, we'll be your family, Yanyan. After all, we're still a family, so we can take care of each other, right?"
"..."
Huo Yan smiled, not knowing how to respond.
This incident happened rather suddenly. Suddenly, a cousin's wife appeared and said that she had been with her for more than a year. She seemed to be quite familiar with her life, but she herself knew nothing about it.
"I can't do anything about this matter. Cousin, ordinary daughters-in-law have no say in their husband's family, let alone the Zhuang family. The hotel is not my husband's personal property, I can't say anything. In addition to the Third Master, the Zhuang family also has the Old Master, the First Master, the First Wife and others. I don't want to make things difficult for the Third Master. So, I can't help you with this matter. As for my uncle and aunt, they will come to the capital and are welcome at any time." Huo Yan said with a forced smile.
She has felt since she was a child that she has no other relatives except her mother. When have these dispensable relatives ever regarded her as a relative?
Now that he wants to reconcile with her, she doesn't reject or refuse. However, if he wants to get something from her, she has to think carefully about it.
She was not a three-year-old child, and she could be coaxed into submission with a few sweet words.
