He Jingxing elegantly cut the foie gras as he said, "I've always strived for perfection. Since it's a pleasure, I definitely have to make it pleasing."
Shuxin, "..." Sure enough, rich people can do whatever they want. He built a villa, bought an entire mountain, built a hot spring, and made it seem like he was building a hot spring resort.
He was indeed worthy of the outside world's evaluation of him being high-profile.
"It's just that the project is so big that I'm afraid I won't be able to complete it according to the original agreement."
He Jingxing handed her another contract. "This is a new contract. Take a look. I've already signed it."
Shuxin said, "Mr. He sure does things swiftly and decisively."
He Jingxing smiled. "In the business world, you can only make money if you're fast, ruthless, and accurate."
Shuxin roughly skimmed through the contract, then closed it and put it aside. "I can't do what Mr. He does. For such a big project, I need to bring the contract back for my lawyer to look over. I'm afraid I won't be able to sign it for the time being."
"Miss Shu, you're very cautious. It's no wonder you were able to build Huaxia Construction to such a glorious state in just half a year," praised He Jingxing generously.
Shuxin's lips curved into a gentle smile. "After my lawyer looks over the contract, I'll look for your secretary to sign it."
He Jingxing could tell that Shuxin didn't want to see him, so he nodded in agreement. "Alright."
After coming out of the restaurant, Shuxin held the phone He Jingxing gave her. She felt like she was holding a hot potato, so when she returned to the office, she stuffed the phone into her drawer.
After work, Shuxin went to the mall to buy a new phone. When she went to the business office to get a new card, it was already after work, so she could only go the next day.
It was almost seven when Shuxin returned to Qin Garden.
When Mother Yun saw Shuxin come in, she put down the remote control in her hand and said with concern, "Old Madam said you can't work overtime because you're pregnant."
Shuxin smiled as she waved the new phone in her hand. "I didn't work overtime. My phone broke yesterday, so I went to the mall to buy a new one. The card wasn't ready yet, so I couldn't call you."
"I see." Mother Yun smiled and walked towards the kitchen. "Go wash your hands. I'll bring out the warm dishes in the pot."
"Okay." Shuxin walked towards the bathroom. She subconsciously glanced in the direction of the study on the second floor.
When Shuxin finished washing her hands and came out, Mother Yun had already placed the dishes on the table.
Nanny Yun scooped a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Shuxin. "Have some soup first."
"Thank you, Mother Yun." Shuxin took a sip of the soup and saw that there were only two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table. She wondered if Mother Yun had already eaten.
The next second, Mother Yun sat down in front of the bowl and started eating.
Shuxin blinked. What about Huo Yanqing? Not eating?
Wasn't Mother Yun the most worried about Huo Yanqing?
He didn't want to eat, but she let him do as he pleased?
Shuxin lowered her head and fiddled with the rice in her bowl. She pretended to ask casually, "Mother Yun, isn't Yanqing eating?"
"Huh?" Mother Yun was stunned by Shuxin's question. She looked at Shuxin in surprise. "Yanqing went to the capital. Didn't you know?"
Then it was Shuxin's turn to be shocked. "He went to the capital?"
"Yes, he went there last night. He even specially went to the villa to ask me to accompany you. He said that he was worried about you being alone at home." Mother Yun felt that something was wrong. How could Shuxin not know about Huo Yanqing's whereabouts? "Did you have a fight with Yanqing?"
Shuxin suddenly lost her appetite. How could he go to the capital alone without telling her? Was he planning to have a long-term cold war with her?
"Xin 'er?"
