Eldest Elder watched as Huo Yao held the tablet. He was unafraid that she might notice anything amiss. He tapped his fingers on the table gently as he said, "Miss Huo, please draw a lot."
Huo Yulin took the tablet from Huo Yao. He knew the elders had no intention of being fair. "Yaoyao, mind if I go first?"
They must have already decided on the first lot and it could not be a good assignnt.
The Eldest Elder frowned but did not attempt to stop him.
After all, it did not matter if either of them went first.
Huo Yao tilted her head sideways. "If I said I mind, would you hate for it?"
Huo Yulin did not expect such an answer from Huo Yulin, so he was puzzled.
Huo Yao took the tablet back from him and said profoundly, "All in the na of fairness, right?"
The mont she finished her sentence, she tapped on the screen and drew an assignnt.
Even if Huo Yulin wanted to say more, it was too late.
"An assignnt for Sangry Town?" The Eldest Elder had already taken back the tablet.
A look of surprise erged on his face as he looked at Huo Yao. He smiled and said, "From the looks of it, you're in luck. You got a very easy assignnt."
Huo Wanying sat casually the entire ti. When she heard Huo Yao got an assignnt for Sangry Town, she narrowed her eyes imperceptibly.
She did not expect the elders to make such an arrangent.
Huo Wanying glanced at Huo Yao again and noticed the confident look on her face. It seed as though Huo Yao was unafraid of anything. Huo Wanying pursed her lips and veered her eyes.
After Huo Yao found out the truth about Sangry Town, Huo Wanying wondered if she could continue being proud.
Huo Yao paid no attention to Huo Wanying's gaze. She was also unconcerned about the level of difficulty involved in her assignnt.
As for Sangry Town… an uncharacteristic look of intrigue swept across her eyes.
In comparison to her calmness, Huo Yulin frowned instead.
Even though he had not been involved in family matters for a couple of years, he had more or less heard about Sangry Town.
The place was under the control of a third power and even governnt officials could not do anything about them. The mont she set foot in Sangry Town, she was at the rcy of others, let alone completing her assignnt and working with them.
How could this assignnt be considered easy?
"Considering the Huo family's developnt, we don't need to work with Sangry Town, right?" Huo Yulin spoke coldly as he looked at the Eldest Elder sternly. "I'm sure everyone here knows about the state of affairs in Sangry Town, right? How could you call this an easy assignnt?"
The Eldest Elder already knew what to say, so he was unafraid of the doubt Huo Yulin had raised.
He explained calmly, "Young Master Yulin, I don't think you know yet. The clan has already communicated with the person in charge of Sangry Town and everything is settled. Miss Huo's assignnt is very simple. She just needs to represent the family and go over to sign a contract with them."
He was suggesting that all she needed to do was sign the contract, apply the stamp and write a few words. How hard could it get, right?
Huo Yulin would never believe it was as simple as signing a contract. If it were that easy, why would they make her take it?
If it were genuinely such a good deal, they would have given it to Huo Wanying instead!
The councilor in charge of Sangry Town imdiately stood up worriedly. He did not expect the elders to use this assignnt as a test for the candidates. He promptly said deeply, "No. I don't think Miss Huo should get involved in this."
