Chapter 719: Chapter 718: 718, great responsibilities will be bestowed upon this person by heaven.

“Give it to you”?

“Discipline him for me”?

Why does he have a bad feeling about this?

Indeed.

“Uncle, you are taking this too seriously. But if you’re entrusting him to me, then from now on, my word is law.” Huo Jingshen said, looking pointedly at Huo Zhexi.

Huo Zhexi felt a surge of unease under his gaze and quickly stepped forward, “Dad, you can’t do this. Can’t we just talk about it…?”

Huo Juncheng ignored him and stated, “Ashen, Wanwan, then it’s up to you to take care of Zhexi in the meantime. I’ll have to go to the hospital to take care of Mingzhu. I’ll be leaving first.”

With that, he turned and left.

Huo Zhexi tried to follow, calling out, “Dad! Dad, don’t go! Dad… Dad…”

But Huo Juncheng left swiftly, closing the door behind him. By the time Huo Zhexi emerged, even the elevator doors were closed.

All he could do was to return, wearing his flip-flops.

He then turned to the couple in his room and demanded, “My dad is gone. Aren’t you two leaving?”

But Huo Jingshen lifted his left hand, glancing at his watch, “It’s now 9:40, you have 10 minutes. Get yourself ready and put on a suit. We are going to work.”

Work?

Huo Zhexi retorted defiantly, “I won’t do it! Dad said you’re in charge, but I didn’t agree!”

“I’ll ask you one more time, are you going or not?”

“I’m! Not! Going!” Huo Zhexi exclaimed, his words full of defiance.

The next moment.

The handsome face twisted in pain all of a sudden, “Ouch… It hurts…let go of me, let go… I’m in pain…”

Huo Jingshen held his wrist firmly, his handsome face steady.

But from Su Wanwan’s perspective, a distinct “crack” sound was heard, prompting her to step forward, “You guys …”

“Are you going or not?” Huo Jingshen asked again.

He is trained, so he can make Huo Zhexi hurt without damaging his bones.

Huo Zhexi’s forehead was covered in sweat, his face pale white, “I won’t… Ah!”

Huo Jingshen tightened his grip, and Huo Zhexi couldn’t bear it any more, he whimpered, “I’ll go, I’ll go, isn’t that enough? Brother, let go…”

It hurts too much!

He had no choice but to submit.

Huo Jingshen released his fingers.

Huo Zhexi quickly looked down to check.

“Relax, it’s not broken.” Huo Jingshen said calmly.

Huo Zhexi: “…”

Damn it.

Fortunately, it wasn’t broken.

But damn, it hurt!

He looked up, yelling frantically, “Are you really my brother? Is this how you treat your own younger brother?”

Huo Nuanyang, who was a soldier, never treated him this way!

Always resorting to force!

Can’t you be more civilized?

My brother is simply a brute.

Huo Jingshen watched him, his lips twisting in a mocking smile, “Regarding this, I also have doubts. We might as well have our blood drawn for a DNA test at the hospital later. If you’re not really a Huo, it would save me the trouble, and Uncle and Aunt will also be relieved.”

Huo Zhexi: “…”

Fuck!

Can you believe what he just said?

Huo Jingshen glanced at his watch again, “It’s 9:42, you have 8 minutes left.”

Covering his painful left hand, Huo Zhexi whimpered and had no choice but to go and change his clothes.

Angry, he slammed the door behind him.

Su Wanwan flinched, feeling as if the entire room had shuddered.

She turned her gaze away, “Husband, are you really going to make him go to work?”

With his temper, won’t he turn the company upside down?

“What else can we do?” Huo Jingshen took her small, soft hand in his, his thumb gently massaging her palm.

After all, Huo Zhexi is his brother.

Mingzhu’s hospitalization has made it clear that the situation is quite serious.

If a scandal like severing father-son relations were to be leaked to the media, it would be embarrassing enough, let alone if it were to be seen by their grandparents. At their age, they might not be able to bear the shock and could end up in the hospital…

Su Wanwan asked, “What about Bai Ruwei? Are you going to take care of her too?”

Huo Jingshen narrowed his eyes, “For things like this, just let nature take its course.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Is that so?

…

Soon, Huo Zhexi emerged in a dark blue suit, obeying Huo Jingshen’s orders under threat.

Although he wore a twisted grimace and pouted his lips.

Even though he was donning a very formal suit, he managed to exude an air of a thug.

Huo Jingshen remained expressionless, “Heaven, when about to place a great responsibility on a man, will first make his will bitter, his body and bones tired, and his actions in chaos.”

Huo Zhexi rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

However, Su Wanwan asked, “Husband, why are you saying these things? Can he understand?”

Huo Jingshen calmly replied, “I’m saying them for myself.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Alright then.

Micromanaging a slacker like Huo Zhexi was indeed a big responsibility.

They got downstairs.

Right as Huo Zhexi was about to start his car…

“Ride in mine.”

“I have a car, why would I need to ride in yours?” After saying that, Huo Zhexi shifted his gaze to Su Wanwan, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll third-wheel your moment?”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Huo Jingshen pulled down his eyelid, “I’m more afraid you’ll sneak off halfway, wasting my precious time.”

At this, even Huo Zhexi was: “…”

Damnit!

He was indeed planning to get into his car and sneak off halfway.

In such lovely spring weather, the sun shone brightly. It’d be better to go out and play, why work?

Moreover, he had already promised Bai Ruwei that he would pick her up from her campus and help her move today.

“Get in.” Huo Jingshen said again.

His voice was calm, but it was totally oppressive.

Huo Zhexi was bullied. Cursing under his breath, he went over to open the passenger seat door.

“Sit in the back,” Huo Jingshen spoke again, “That’s your sister-in-law’s seat.”

“Damn it!” Huo Zhexi angrily slammed the car door shut.

He had no choice but to climb into the backseat.

The moment he got in, he took out his phone and shot a message to Bai Ruwei, [Xiaowei, I’ll be heading to work first today. I’ll pick you up after work to help you move.]@@novelbin@@

Bai Ruwei asked: [Where are you off to work?]

[Huo Yuan Group.]

Bai Ruwei was astonished, [Really? What do you plan to do there?]

Huo Zhexi lifted his head and questioned Huo Jingshen, “Big brother, what position am I going to take at Huo Yuan?”

Previously, when he was at the Ming Company, he would take on roles like marketing manager. Therefore, he figured that if he were to go to Huo Yuan, at the very least, he would be the manager of a department, right?

Who knew, Huo Jingshen would reply, “Human Resources Assistant.”

“What?” Huo Zhexi exclaimed. “I, the distinguished third son of the Huo family, your very own brother, am going to be a simple assistant? I won’t do it!”

“Then you can sell houses.”

Sell houses?

The distinguished third son of the Huo family should go and sell houses with people?

Huo Zhexi blinked, submitting instantly, “Fine, I’ll be an assistant.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

…

Huo Jingshen drove to Nancheng University first and dropped off Su Wanwan.

Only then did he head to Huo Yuan Group.

He led Huo Zhexi up to the 50th floor, then into the secretary’s office.

“Good morning, Mr. Huo.”

“Mr. Huo, hello.”

“Good morning, Mr. Huo.”

All subordinates were busily greeting him.

Ji Jie even hurried over, caught by surprise he gawked at Huo Zhexi, “Mr. Huo, what’s going on…”

Huo Jingshen, “From today on, Zhexi is going to work under you.”

“Huh?” Ji Jie was startled.

Damn!

It has come to this! The third son of the Huo family joined Huo Yuan and was to work under him? Is this…

“First, arrange a spot for him.” Huo Jingshen commanded before turning on his heels and leaving, “When done, come to my office.”

“Okay.” Ji Jie could only agree.

After Huo Jingshen had left, Ji Jie smilingly inquired, “Mr. Huo, which spot would you like? One next to the window? One along the corridor? Or one a bit further at the back?”

Huo Zhexi smirked, completely indifferent, “Whatever.”

Ji Jie quickly summoned help, “Xiaozhu, tidy up this spot quickly and scrub it clean. Xiaocheng, get Liu Wei to come over to set up the computer, Xiaoli, bring a new office chair over…”

After a flurry of activity, Huo Zhexi finally settled down at his designated work place.

He examined his surroundings.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. An office full of twenty or thirty people, men and women, all assistants and secretaries. Their only duty was to serve a single person, Huo Jingshen! Isn’t this uncalled-for?

“Mr. Huo, your computer is all set up.”

Huo Zhexi withdrew his gaze, gesturing dismissively, “You can go now.”

He powered up the computer and began downloading games.

By the time Ji Jie came out of the CEO’s office, he could hear the deafening sounds of gunshots and explosions echoing down the hallway, punctuated by Huo Zhexi’s battle cries.

“Damn, three of them are blocking the bridge, are you blind? Can’t you see them?”

“Give me the level-three helmet!”

“There’s someone on the left, there’s someone on the left!”

“Hurry up and wipe them all out! Especially that damn woman with the braids!”

The sound of the game filled every corner of the office.

Ji Jie cleared his throat, stepping forward, “Mr. Huo, the company has a regulation: you can’t play games during working hours…”

“The circle is shrinking!” Huo Zhexi warned his teammates anxiously as he interrupted Ji Jie. “Stop fighting for now, hurry up and run to the final circle!”

Ji Jie: “…”
