Bei Bei was dead—the one Mu En had valued most. Otherwise, Mu En wouldn't have had to settle for the best of a bad lot, and he wouldn't have chosen Huo Yuhao.
Mu En had his reasons. After looking at so many people, only Huo Yuhao's character met his requirements.
Put bluntly, he was easy to fool and easy to control.

Qian Duoduo spoke excitedly. He was genuinely happy for Huo Yuhao from the bottom of his heart.
Mu En nodded in satisfaction. "From now on, you're to devote all your energy to cultivating Huo Yuhao."
"Give him priority when it comes to resources, teach him personally, and make sure he can take charge in a short time."
