I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: A Rage for a Beauty’s Sake

After Huo Shiyuan disconnected the call, he looked at Yuan Xi and said, “Don’t block me again in the future.”

“I was just angry earlier, I won’t block you again.”

Yuan Xi sighed in Huo Shiyuan’s embrace, “Shiyuan, am I truly heartless and selfish? The children have just turned one month old, and I’ve already left them to go to work. Should I not have returned to work so soon?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “I really don’t approve of you going to work when the children have just turned one month old. Healing takes a hundred days, and a C-section is a major surgery. You’ve only rested for one month, and taking on such a busy job means you won’t be able to rest properly.

But when it comes to the children, you haven’t been heartless or selfish at all. There are nannies and babysitters at home; you don’t need to worry about the children lacking their mother’s company. They will know that their mother loves them very much.”

Yuan Xi got up from Huo Shiyuan and went to the nursery.

She looked at the two babies lying in the crib, her eyes full of guilt.

Huo Shiyuan patted Yuan Xi’s shoulder. “You don’t need to feel like going to work is neglecting the babies. It’s just about making time to spend with them when you can.”

After dinner, Yuan Xi saw Huo Shiyuan become busy with his phone constantly ringing non-stop.

Calls frequently came in from Qin Lang’s side as well.

Huo Shiyuan simply turned off his phone, watching Yuan Xi deal with Mi Chen’s business affairs, occasionally giving some advice.

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan and asked, “Is it okay for your phone to be turned off?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “If there’s something important, Qin Lang will come and tell me.”

Yuan Xi then started replying to emails. After she responded to all the emails that required her personal attention, she handed over the rest of the work to her new assistants Qi Yi and Tao Wen.

Perhaps because Huo Shiyuan’s phone was turned off and unreachable, Shi Zhen’s call came through to Yuan Xi’s phone.

Yuan Xi answered, “Ms. Shi.”

Shi Zhen said, “Let Huo Shiyuan take the phone.”

Yuan Xi passed the phone to Huo Shiyuan, who directly switched to speaker mode.

Shi Zhen’s voice came through, “Huo Shiyuan, you should know what situation Fu Yixian is currently in, right? He’s just woken up, and Fu Yi still holds thirty-nine percent of the shares. By canceling the cooperation now, you are essentially handing over Fu An to Fu Yi!

The Fu Family and the Huo Family have had good relations for so many years now. Aunt Fu’s health has been declining ever since Yadong’s death; do you really have to cancel the cooperation at this time?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Yes.”

Shi Zhen said, “Qian Yiren said a few unpleasant words, that’s all. The Fu Family will definitely have her apologize to Yuan Xi. There’s no need to be so ruthless, especially since you and Yixian grew up like brothers, wearing the same pants. It’s not worth causing such huge losses for both the Fu Family and the Huo Family!”

Huo Shiyuan said, “It’s necessary! Xiao Xi suffered a lot of grievances today. Before coming to A City, I, her parents, and grandparents all promised that I would not let Xiao Xi be wronged. Qian Yiren bullying Yuan Xi will have to pay the price.”

After finishing, Huo Shiyuan hung up the call.

Yuan Xi took back her phone from Huo Shiyuan’s hand. She wrapped her arms around Huo Shiyuan’s waist, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his thin lips.

Huo Shiyuan wrapped his arms around Yuan Xi, returning her kiss. A few minutes later, Huo Shiyuan gently pushed Yuan Xi away and said, “I’m going to take a shower.”

Yuan Xi whispered, “Let me help you!”

Huo Shiyuan said, “You haven’t fully recovered yet. I’ve checked, and it’s best to wait three months after a C-section before having intercourse. I’m just going to take a quick shower…”

Yuan Xi said softly, “I can still help you…”

Huo Shiyuan’s eyes deepened as he reached out and held Yuan Xi’s hand, “Really?”

Yuan Xi nodded. It had been more than six months since the pregnancy, and Huo Shiyuan, however difficult it was, endured it. In fact, holding out until now had been nearly half a year…

Huo Shiyuan took Yuan Xi’s hand and led her into the bathroom. It was almost an hour and a half later when the two came out.

Yuan Xi felt her hands were weak and sore; she could hardly face her own hands.

Huo Shiyuan clasped Yuan Xi’s hand, drawing her into his arms and said, “You should sleep early, goodnight.”

“Goodnight.”

…

Inside the Fu Mansion.

Fu Qin frowned and angrily stared at Qian Yiren, saying, “Are you satisfied now that things have turned out like this? Don’t you realize what Little Xi means to Shiyan? If Fu An Group ends up being handed over to Fu Yi, you’ll be the chief culprit!”

Qian Yiren looked towards Fu Yixian and said, “Cousin, you and Shiyan have been good friends since childhood. I can’t believe Shiyan would disregard your dignity for Yuan Xi.”

Fu Yixian spoke sternly, “When we were little, you broke the music box Little Xi gave him and, afraid that Shiyan would blame you, shifted the blame onto me. Shiyan wouldn’t talk to me and wanted to break off our friendship until I fixed that music box. Then he started to pay attention to me again. Back then, you should have realized that no one is more important to him than Little Xi.”

Fu Qin frowned and looked at Fu Yixian, saying, “What do we do now? It seems that Shiyan really doesn’t care about past affection anymore.”

Fu Yixian wasn’t in a hurry, “We can only let Shiyan take this breath for Yuan Xi.”

“Time to go back to the room.”

Fu Yixian said to Ren Tian.

Ren Tian followed Fu Yixian back to their room, and seeing him preparing for bed, she asked softly, “Aren’t you afraid that Fu Yi will take Fu An Group from you because of this?”

Fu Yixian said, “Without Fu An, I can still provide for you and the kids. Don’t worry too much.”

Ren Tian said, “Yuan Xi is really lucky. Huo Shiyuan would actually take a breath for her and bear such a loss. I’m so jealous of her.”

Ren Tian’s face was full of envy, “If only there was a man who would do the same for me…”

Fu Yixian said, “Sleep early, dreams have everything.”

Ren Tian questioned, “?”

—

The cooperation between Shiyi Group and Shixi Finance with Fu An Group was canceled, and within just a few days, it had spread throughout City A, causing the stock price of Fu An Group to fall significantly.

Yuan Xi also saw these reports in the news these past few days.

And recently, there were quite a few people coming to Yunsen Court to plead their cases.

After the meeting ended, Gu Hanchen didn’t turn off the video interface with Yuan Xi.

Gu Hanchen said, “Huo Shiyuan losing his temper for a beauty, I heard about it even here in Jiang City. He really loves you, watching it makes me envious.”

Yuan Xi frowned and said, “Envious that no one has lost their temper for a ‘blue face’ for you?”

Gu Hanchen replied, “Psh, I’m envious that there’s a beauty worth losing my temper for! Destroying Stars has been getting a continuous stream of positive reviews lately, and its download rate has also caught up.”

Yuan Xi said, “Because another investment was made, Mengyou is actually willing to invest in this game that has low return rates and loses money to earn a shoutout. Continuously throwing money into this bottomless pit, it’s quite abnormal.”

Gu Hanchen said, “I heard they even signed Movie Star Fang Ming to be their spokesperson, they’ll make the official announcement soon, and the endorsement fee seems to be as high as sixty million.”

“An endorsement fee that high?” Yuan Xi was startled, “Isn’t Fang Ming’s game endorsement rate about ten million?”

Gu Hanchen said, “Fang Ming is already shooting the commercial, and they also intend to enter the overseas market with Destroying Stars.”

“The domestic market hasn’t even been secured, and they already want to go overseas?”

Yuan Xi found it laughable, with the way Destroying Stars was burning money, could Mengyou really not fear a total loss?

Qi Yi approached Yuan Xi and said, “Chairman Yuan, Mi Yimi from Mi Yi would like to see you.”

Yuan Xi said, “Let her wait in the guest room.”
