The Reincarnated Goddess is Fierce Chapter 1018 - There is Progress

Chapter 1018 There is Progress
After Qi Zhi’an finished delivering his gift, he left.
Looking at his brisk pace as he left, as if he was about to jump up in the next second, the old man’s mood became even more complicated.
“Don’t worry, I will fix it for you guys,” he reassured Xia Xibei and Huo Zijun.
“Thank you,” Xia Xibei smiled.
Huo Zijun looked at his grandfather and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
He could probably guess what Grandpa was thinking.
From his point of view, Grandpa’s hesitation was certainly a big mistake.
However, from the Huo family’s point of view, it was also normal that Grandpa would hesitate.
Wasn’t it because of Xia Xibei’s ability that Grandpa made a decision now?
Huo Zijun was in a low mood.
Grandpa was so snobbish that he felt ashamed to face Xia Xibei.
Xia Xibei looked over but saw his gaze dodging away.
She thought about it and quickly understood.
She waited for the old man to go inside to rest before she and Huo Zijun walked outside to the courtyard.
“I’m sorry,” Huo Zijun said with a bowed head.
“What’s there to be sorry for?” Xia Xibei glanced at him with a smile.
“My grandfather is like this…” Huo Zijun’s head lowered even more. “I’m sorry!”
“It’s fine!” Xia Xibei patted him on the back and laughed. “Don’t say sorry for anything. Things were resolved. Isn’t that good?”
She wouldn’t have exactly put all her chips on the old man.
She befriended Qi Zhi’an because of this reason as well.
After all, the old man was very shrewd. Why would he act impulsively? He definitely had to mull over all the options.
As long as the result was good, it was enough.
Huo Zijun looked at Xia Xibei in shame, wanting to say something, but
finally just sighed.
“Come on, don’t sigh anymore, I’d think you were sick or something!” Xia Xibei continued to pat him on the back. “Anyway, just run the company well afterward. That’ll be your payment to me.”
Huo Zijun’s ability was good, and she could see the efforts he had made over the past few days.
However, he also had a shortcoming: he was too soft-hearted.
Still, it was better to get along with a soft-hearted person than to hang out with a cruel one. At least you didn’t have to worry about being stabbed in the back.
“Don’t worry, I will!” Huo Zijun said with a clenched fist.
After this incident, he definitely would not be soft-hearted again.
Wasn’t it because he had given in, time and time again over the years, that people walked all over him?
If he had been tough before, things would not have turned out like this at all.
“Okay, I believe you,” Xia Xibei smiled.
Huo Zijun had just returned to his room when the old man came over.
“Grandpa,” he said while standing up.
“Little Jun.” The old man’s expression was a bit complicated. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely fix this matter properly when I go back!”
“Well, I trust you!” Huo Zijun nodded. “By the way, I forgot to mention that Little Xia is Big Qiao’s girlfriend.”
“Big Qiao? Qiao Yanjue?” The old man’s eyes widened. “Isn’t she your girlfriend?”
“No way!” Huo Zijun shook his head. “She is Big Qiao’s girlfriend. I don’t have this kind of luck. However, they haven’t announced it to the public yet.”
While speaking, he also turned his phone on and tapped on the voice note sent by Qiao Yanjue.
“Take care of Beibei for me, or else…”
The old man could hear that this was indeed Qiao Yanjue’s voice.
He gave Huo Zijun a deep look.
“Not bad. You have made some progress.”
At least he was not as simple and naive as before.
The kid knew how to play the game now. There was progress. At least there was no worry of him being bullied.
“Don’t worry, I know how it is.”
The old man finished speaking before turning and going back to his room.
