“Sicheng, my sister misses you very much,” Damon said as he walked towards

Huo Sicheng, his presence reminiscent of a gentle spring breeze. “Ever since

you left Country F, my sister has been talking about you every day. She insisted on going to Jiang City to visit you.”

Before Huo Sicheng could speak, Damon added, “I know you’re usually very busy and have been stopping her from going to Jiang City. Fortunately, she was able to see the opportunity when you came to Nice for a vacation. I told her immediately, and she came to look for you.”

Having approached Huo Sicheng, Damon continued, “Sicheng, don’t disappoint my sister.”

Renilla blushed upon hearing her brother’s words. She coquettishly addressed Huo Sicheng beside her, “Brother Sicheng, please talk to me. I really miss you.” As she spoke, she reached out to grab Huo Sicheng’s arm.

“Get lost!” Huo Sicheng snapped, looking at Renilla with a stern gaze. “Touch me, and I’ll break your hand.”

Renilla’s hand froze in mid-air, her face turning as pale as paper. She sadly retracted her hand and covered her face.

“Aw, Brother Sicheng is being mean to me,” she lamented.

Damon wasn’t surprised by Huo Sicheng’s reaction. He patted Renilla on the shoulder and remarked, “My dear sister, I told you that Sicheng must be in a bad mood to come to Nice for a holiday, but you just had to come and bother him.”

Renilla looked at Huo Sicheng with teary eyes. “Brother Sicheng, please don’t be so harsh.” Pouting her lips, she added, “I’ve been thinking about you.”

Huo Sicheng sighed, feeling a headache coming on. He stood up impatiently and left the beach, with Renilla quickly following after him.

Damon smiled without saying a word and trailed behind Huo Sicheng and Renilla.

In the spacious living room, Huo Sicheng turned his gaze to Damon. “If you have something to say, just say it. Afterwards, take your sister and leave.”

Renilla felt wronged. “Brother Sicheng, how can you treat me like this? Sob, sob, sob…”

Damon didn’t hold back and exposed his sister Renilla. He moved closer and comforted her, saying, “Why the tears? Not a single tear is falling. Be good now. Sicheng and I need to talk. Don’t worry, I promise to help you convince him to treat you better.”

With a heavy heart, Renilla reluctantly left the living room.

“Sicheng, did you miss me?” Damon inquired fluently in French. He continued,

“I need you, I need you, I need you.”

Huo Sicheng took a sip of water and glanced at Damon coldly. “Cut to the chase.”

“I’ve been ousted by my father’s board of directors,” Damon sighed. “I need your assistance.”

Huo Sicheng remained silent.

“Recently, my father’s group has been discussing energy matters. Publicly, it’s known that the Mas family is interested in partnering with Huo Corporation, ” Damon said seriously, fixing his gaze on Huo Sicheng. “However, you leaked information that you won’t be contending for the Mas family’s energy. I want to know if that’s true.’

“Whether it’s true or not, Daldo Group won’t secure the Mas family’s energy partnership. ”

Damon was surprised. “Why?”

“No particular reason.”

Damon’s eyes became complicated. “Sicheng, you publicly announced you wouldn’t compete for the Mas family’s energy partnership, but in reality, it was a tactic to lower the price. Ultimately, will the Mas family still cooperate with you?”

“You’re giving up the entire European market just like that?” Damon asked incredulously. “Sicheng, you can’t abandon the Mas family’s energy. My dad kicked me out of the board of directors. I have to collaborate with you to get back in. ”

“That’s why you hurried to Nice when I arrived,” Huo Sicheng noted. “Your father is an aristocrat in Country F. Daldo was his creation. Even if he kicked you out of the board of directors, you’re still his son and heir.”

“Of course, the condition is winning his favor. If not, with his strong personality, he’d hand over Daldo to his most trusted associate, leaving you without shares.”

“That’s why I’m asking for your help.” Damon sighed. “My dad recently married his chief secretary. This is his seventh wife. He invited you, but you sent a gift instead of attending. This secretary has been influencing my father. Her son is highly trusted by my father in Daldo, and I’m worried.”

Huo Sicheng stared at Damon without a word.

Damon sensed Huo Sicheng’s introverted nature. “We’re close friends, we’ve known each other for years. Can you do me a favor? I could even consider marrying my sister to you. What do you say?”

Huo Sicheng frowned.

Damon grinned. “How about I marry you? As long as you help me.”

Huo Sicheng responded firmly, “I won’t marry you or your sister. I’m already involved with someone.”

Damon teased, “Sicheng, after all these years without a woman by your side, I thought you might be gay. It wasn’t until you and Ji Sisi trended that I realized the chaste CEO of Huo Corporation, who’s been single for over two decades, fell in love with a woman.”

“But we’ve known each other since childhood and spent so much time together. You’ve lived in F Nation for six years. Your private life is too clean, making me think you won’t easily fall for women. Ji Sisi is your chief secretary, so you wouldn’t mix business and pleasure. Hence, those trends are likely fabricated. Your lying skills are weak.”

Huo Sicheng narrowed his eyes. “How can I help you?”

Damon smiled, relieved. “Starting a company alone isn’t feasible. Help me out in some capacity. At the very least, let Daldo Group benefit. My dad values Mas Energy most. If you’re not inclined to help with the energy issue, then perhaps you could assist me with something else.”

Huo Sicheng pondered. “I recall a real estate division within Daldo. There’s a land development project in Paris. If you’re interested, you can be part of it.” He added, “Considering you’ve been ousted from the board, I’ll cover all financial needs as a friend. The project’s success will be yours, but you’ll have to manage it yourself.”

Damon gleefully pounced on Huo Sicheng. “We’ll be buddies forever.”

Huo Sicheng kicked Damon away playfully.

“Get ready. I’ll introduce you to your collaborator tonight. Chu Yu will manage it.” He rose and headed upstairs. “I’m going to rest. Don’t disturb me.” Damon stood up and said with a grin, “Thank you, Commander.”

“Brother, what did Brother Sicheng say?” Renilla asked her brother Damon as he exited. “Does he want me to accompany him?”

“I’m tired, and I’m going to rest. I think he’s in a bad mood. Why don’t you return to Paris first and approach him in a couple of days? He’ll probably be more receptive by then.”

Renilla was disappointed. “Brother Sicheng must be exhausted from work. We should stay here and keep him company.”

Damon chuckled. “You’re just trying to prevent the officer from throwing you out if I leave you alone.”

“Sure, I’ll stay with you.” Damon thought for a moment. “Maybe you should give up on Sicheng. He hasn’t taken a liking to you in all these years. Even if you pursued him for another decade, he wouldn’t change.”

Renilla gave Damon an enigmatic look.. “What if I sleep with Brother Sicheng tonight?”
