As soon as the words fell, there was silence all around. The bodyguard curled his lips. "Look at you, worthless."
Zhouzhou was taken aback. He never imagined that tutoring could actually make money. She imdiately nodded excitedly.
Huo Ji'an's eyes flickered. Having grasped Zhouzhou's true intentions, he cleared his throat and asked, "How much?"
Huo Mingxuan's face darkened again. Doing business is all about not showing desperation, but this unlucky son of his just wouldn't take no for an answer. It had been almost half a year since he last ca ho.
Even though Huo Mingxuan could usually keep his cool, he now realized that his son was serious. He really didn't want him as his father anymore. Thinking of this, he felt a bit suffocated and muttered, "How much do you want?"
Huo Ji'an thought for a mont and said, "Fifty per hour. If it's too low, we'll find soone else."
"Fine," Huo Mingxuan gritted his teeth.
Oh no, he undersold himself. Seeing him agree so readily, Huo Ji'an knocked his head in frustration.
When Zhouzhou gestured to him, he imdiately said, "There's also Qin Feng, Qin Bei, and Qin Nan. We have to count them individually."
Fifty for each person, five people in total. That's two hundred and fifty per hour. Although Qin Nan didn't show any interest in hacking, you can't let any opportunity slip by.
Huo Mingxuan felt like he was the one being taken advantage of. Who else would invest both ti and money in doing business?
But, alas, his opponent was his own little nesis. His mother had given him an ultimatum; if he didn't coax this kid back, she would pack up and recognize Yu Ze as her son.
She said so herself, leaving him no choice but to compromise. He couldn't sacrifice his son and let even his mother get involved.
He wondered what charm Yu Ze possessed that made everyone so fond of him. Huo Mingxuan was really annoyed.
While Huo Ji'an and Zhouzhou were delighted, they clapped their hands. Zhouzhou exclaid, "That's great!"
Upon hearing this chirpy voice, Huo Mingxuan imdiately recognized it as Zhouzhou's. He inwardly gritted his teeth. Sure enough, Huo Mingxuan just couldn't seem to get it right with this silly Qin family girl.
Regardless of what he thought, Little Skinny Pole really enjoyed playing with Chubby Girl.
After discussing the price, Huo Ji'an hung up the phone without any further ado. Zhouzhou also exclaid excitedly, "That's great! Knowledge really is money!"
She wasn't deceived after all. Learning things really could earn money. The bodyguard stood silently beside them, not saying a word.
What was the point? He should have just agreed from the beginning; now he was going to lose money. The main issue was that in doing so, he had reversed his own advantageous position.
Mr. Huo may have been dominant in the business world, but unexpectedly, he stumbled in front of his own son. Tsk tsk.
Zhouzhou didn't care about these things. She happily chatted with Huo Ji'an. Just as Chang Beibei entered from outside, drooping her head and looking dispirited.
Seeing them so excited, she imdiately perked up and approached, clutching so lon seeds. "What are you guys talking about? Any new gossip?"
These past few days, she had been locked up at ho by her father and hadn't even eaten a single lon seed. She was so desperate!
Zhouzhou briefed Chang Beibei on Huo Ji'an's deal. Chang Beibei had no idea it was so exciting and imdiately asked, learning about the whole father-switching business.
She couldn't help but marvel, "Wow, that's clever. I didn't know you could do that."
She looked expectantly at Zhouzhou and asked, "Gossip buddy, can you help find a new dad too?"
Just as Principal Chang reached the doorway, he heard this and his face imdiately darkened. He strode up behind her, gritting his teeth ominously. "Chang Beibei, who do you want to be your dad?"
Chang Beibei felt a surge of hostility and instinctively shrank her neck, quickly dodging behind Zhouzhou.
Principal Chang was both angry and amused. "You're already so big, yet you're hiding behind Zhouzhou. Can she really protect you?"
At this, Chang Beibei's eyes rolled and she imdiately tried to sow discord. "Gossip buddy, he says you're short!"
Three-ter Qin: "???"
Why was it always her who got hurt? She looked at Principal Chang with a pitiful expression, pouting, "Uncle Principal."
The little one looked so pitiful that Principal Chang's heart softened instantly. He hurriedly coaxed, "Zhouzhou, don't listen to her nonsense, I didn't an that."
Chang Beibei watched his change of expression and couldn't help but sneer. Tilting her head, she asked, "Dad, don't you also want to be Zhouzhou's new dad?"
"Forget it, Zhouzhou's dad is much better than you, not like Huo Ji'an's dad. She won't switch." Principal Chang: "..."
Was this mischievous girl trying to stir up trouble?
If Qin Lie knew about this, would he ever see the sun again tomorrow?
This unfilial daughter! He irritably handed her the water glass. "Forgetful."
With that, he left, humming to himself with his hands behind his back. If he stayed any longer, he feared he might lose it. This unlucky girl, soone had better co and take her away soon.
Watching them, Zhouzhou also said with a smile, "Beibei, Principal Chang is very nice to you."
"Yeah," Chang Beibei sighed, "He's alright, but he won't let hearing and discussing about gossips. It's so uncomfortable. Life without gossips is aningless."
On this point, Zhouzhou agreed. She liked her dads even more. Whichever dad it was, they wouldn't stop her from gossiping.
Sotis, they were even worried she wouldn't get enough, so they'd hoist her onto their shoulders to get a better view. Her dads were the best in the world!
Huo Ji'an listened on and suggested, "Then why don't you find yourself a new dad?"
He proposed with the air of an experienced person. Chang Beibei thought about it but shook her head. "Forget it, my dad isn't bad. I can manage with him."
With that, she patted the large pocket of lon seeds. "These were bought by my dad." She then pointed to the large cup on the table.
"He's afraid I'll eat too many seeds and get a sore throat, so he reminds to drink lots of water every day."
Looking at it this way, it wasn't so bad. The situation was different. Her previous dad, well, he couldn't even be seen, let alone do anything.
Huo Ji'an shook his head and sighed. The bodyguard casually took a handful of lon seeds from Chang Beibei's bag and squatted beside her, listening attentively.
He also understood Huo Ji'an's thoughts and couldn't help but nod silently in agreent. That's right.
However, it was Huo Mingxuan who was paying him, so he would definitely consider his side of the story.
He had done what he could to help; the rest was up to Huo Mingxuan himself. And thanks to his self-destructive actions, Huo Mingxuan had earned the opportunity to pay for tutoring.
After school in the afternoon, he stood at the school gate, looking at Jing City First Primary School in front of him, his expression slightly dazed.
No wonder he hadn't seen him at the kindergarten gate that day. It turned out he had skipped ahead to elentary school.
Thinking of this, Huo Mingxuan couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. He hadn't been attentive enough to his son.
After all this ti, he must have missed him, right? Just as he was thinking this, he heard a familiar voice.
He looked up and saw Huo Ji'an rushing out, looking in his direction, grinning broadly, then running straight past him and leaping into Yu Ze's arms, shouting, "Daddy!"
Huo Mingxuan: "..."
Zhouzhou also swiftly jumped into Qin Lie's arms, hugging his neck and turning to look at them. She happened to see the montary stiffness on Huo Mingxuan's face.
Thinking that Huo Mingxuan would at least give them money, she was afraid he would get angry and back out.
She quickly said, "Little Skinny Pole, don't forget your forr dad who got duped!"
Huo Mingxuan: "..."
This silly Qin family girl really knows how to hit where it hurts!
