White Household

After Huo Xi left, the Shen family began packing things to take to the neighboring province. They might be staying for three or four days, so they needed to prepare several extra outfits.

Lu Shao had just messaged his assistant, telling him to contact the White Household and say that he was interested in their new project, when Shen Ze's voice asking which outfit looked better called him back.

"The white set. You look good in white." Lu Shao got up, pulled Shen Ze over for a kiss, then said it.

Lu Shao's clothes had already been packed before he brought them over. He would be going with them this time as well. First, Lu Shao had already been accepted by the Shen family, so naturally they had to take him along to meet the people close to the Shen family. Second, Lu Shao could not bear being apart from Shen Ze for three or four days.

Shen Ze packed the white set as he asked, "Are you really going to invest in the White Household's project?" Lu Shao hummed in response.

Recently, he had spent a long time thinking about what he could do, and in the end, he decided to start an investment company. If there were people whose talents went unrecognized, or people who had ability but no money, he could invest in them and let them make money for him.

His assistant had been newly assigned to him by his eldest sister. Mainly because he truly did not seem to have anything he wanted to do. He did not have Shen Ze's talent for design, and working at the family company would be exhausting.

In any case, he had money, and the family company did not absolutely need him. It would be better to set up an investment company, make investments, and wait for those projects to earn money without having to worry too much.

Of course, there were risks involved, but the members of the risk assessment team his sisters had found for him were all highly capable. If he still lost a great deal of money, he could only count himself unlucky.

"You don't even know how much funding they're short of, and you already want to invest? What if the money you have isn't enough?" Shen Ze asked Lu Shao with a laugh.

Holding Shen Ze, Lu Shao rested his chin on Shen Ze's shoulder and said with a smile, "Do you think I'm stupid? I've thought it through. If it isn't enough, I'll either find a way to scrape more together, or I'll say I'm only planning to invest part of it and let them figure out the rest themselves."

"That's good. I was just afraid you'd try to swallow the whole project in one bite, fail to do it, and end up upset." After Shen Ze said that, the two took a short nap.

That evening, the family ate something to tide themselves over before setting out for the neighboring province. It was not far, and the flight would get them there quickly. They would probably still have to eat after arriving.

After getting off the plane and arriving at the hotel where the birthday banquet would be held the next day, they found Shen Father's friend already waiting there, along with several younger members of his friend's family.

After Shen Father introduced several of the children to his old friend, he told them, "This is your Uncle Hu." Naturally, they immediately greeted Uncle Hu.

After that, the younger generation ate with the younger generation, while the elders ate with the elders. Since Shen Father and Uncle Hu would be drinking and would probably talk until late into the night, they did not bring Shen Yu over.

However, Shen Yu was still busy chatting with the Hu Household's eldest son. The eldest son was quite humorous, so the conversation between them was very pleasant.

The younger generation finished early and returned to the rooms arranged by the Hu Household to rest. Shen Father's group finished later, but considering the birthday banquet the next day, they still did not stay up too late.

The next day, while the Shen family was on their way to the banquet, Huo Xi was already at the White Household.

"Lu Shao and Uncle Shen want to invest in your project?" After receiving a confirming answer, Huo Xi knew it was probably because they had heard Shen Can's inner thoughts.

"You can accept it. They should mean well. I'll cover the bulk of the investment, and as for their side, handle it however you think is appropriate." Once everything had been discussed, Huo Xi ate another meal at the White Household before leaving.

After Huo Xi left, the White Household's second son, Bai Yu, said to his eldest brother, "Huo Xi seems pretty easy to get along with. He knew we were short on funds and specifically came over to invest in us. He even said he'd cover the bulk of it."

Bai Jue had not expected Huo Xi to come looking to invest in them either. This project was indeed extremely important to them.

If this project developed well, the White Household would rise to another level. At that point, returning the White Household to its former glory through continued hard work would be just around the corner.

Previously, he had failed when he went to see Old Master Huo. He had even wondered whether, after the old madam's death, the relationship between their two families had already faded away, and whether there was no longer any need for them to associate in the future.

He truly could not bear to give up on this project. Such a good opportunity could not be missed, but if they could only partner with other companies, it would be too great a loss. He would probably be depressed to death.

The White Household had gradually declined during their parents' generation. Now, he wanted the White Household to prosper again in the generation of himself, his younger brother, and his younger sister.

Moreover, from Huo Xi's words, he seemed to intend to help them develop further. The children of his second and third uncles were truly fortunate. Just as they were worrying about their futures, they encountered such a good opportunity delivered by Huo Xi.

Unlike him, who had been truly lost before. This project was the fruit of several years of his efforts at the company. Perhaps he should have gone looking for Huo Xi back then. Maybe he could have gotten this project off the ground much earlier.

After all, they were still related by blood, but at the time, his fixed impression of Huo Xi had made him back down. He had once believed that Huo Xi and ordinary people like them belonged to completely different worlds.

Now, he would leave his children a better White Household. That thought alone was enough to make him work hard.

Huo Xi was giving them an opportunity, but they still had to be able to seize it themselves. They had to be like the Han Household, bringing Huo Xi benefits rather than merely dragging him down and relying on his support.

Assistant He only spoke after closing the car door. "The White Household members are all quite decent, President Huo. You only said you were coming over and didn't even say what for, yet their entire family gathered here."

Still, this sort of matter should really have been handled by President Huo's father. After all, President Huo's father was their uncle.

Huo Xi also thought of that man overseas. "He's been away sketching for more than half a year this time, hasn't he? He should be about done. Once he's finished, arrange for someone to bring him back to the country."

Assistant He said yes and did not ask further questions, but he always felt that something big was about to happen. Otherwise, why would President Huo bring even his completely hands-off father back to the country?

It looked like Secretary Wu's return was not far off either. Secretary Wu, hurry back. With this storm-brewing situation, I'm a little scared I can't handle it alone.

Huo Xi had no idea what his assistant was thinking. He was wondering what Shen Can was doing at the moment.

And Shen Can was looking for someone. The Shen family had long noticed Shen Can, whose eyes had been darting everywhere the moment they arrived at the banquet. They had no idea what the child was looking for.

Why can't I see them? Are they not here? No way. The thing I was most looking forward to at this banquet was seeing her and him. My grand plan to save the Shen family!!

Everyone in the Shen family was wondering who he meant. At the same time, the other two people, who suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice by their ears, were shocked.

There was clearly no one beside them, yet they could hear a voice distinctly by their ears.

The Shen family in front of them had not opened their mouths either, so where had the voice come from? Yet it had indeed mentioned the Shen family. No one had spoken, but the voice had sounded by their ears. Could it have been an inner voice? Was something like that really possible?

These are extremely important people to my eldest brother. The only time the plot mentioned them was that they and my eldest brother had narrowly missed each other here. After that, it never mentioned what became of them again.
