I can't be a cannon fodder

Chapter 40 Huo Zhourong's Hesitation

Xiao Xingxing contacted her teacher in college the next day, and the teacher was very happy to receive her call, but unfortunately, he was studying abroad and would not be back until three months later.

But I recommended a senior to her.

"She is two years older than you, and she is also a very good perfumer. You can ask her."

After getting the contact information of the senior sister, Xiao Xingxing sent a WeChat friend to go over, and explained the situation after passing.The senior sister didn't reply after a long time, Xiao Xingxing thought that the other party didn't want to deal with her.

Unexpectedly, a week later, I suddenly replied to her, and asked her to go to my studio tomorrow to meet and discuss in detail.

Only after hearing the name of that studio did Xiao Xingxing realize that this senior is so powerful.

Her studio is called Scent Forest, and she doesn't have a physical store.However, the online sales are very good, and it can be regarded as an online celebrity product.

"Zaizai?" As soon as Xiao Xingxing left, a head popped out.

"Why are you here, old man?" Aunt Fang hurriedly opened the door of the ward.

Old man Huo strolled in: "Is the star not here?"

"Grandpa, are you doing something bad again?" Zai Zai rubbed his eyes, he got up early today for a checkup, and now he is sleepy.

Old man Huo patted Cub's head first, wanting to pat Louis XIII, but was rejected.He didn't mind either, and leaned over to Aunt Fang.

"Go out for a stroll, the secret between me and Zai Zai cannot be heard by a third person."

Aunt Fang: "..."

In the end, Aunt Fang said that she was going to buy cakes for Zai Zai, and told Old Man Huo several times that he must not leave unless he came back, and that Zai Zai should not be left alone.

Old man Huo hurriedly agreed to send Aunt Fang out, then ran to the hospital bed and stared at Zai Zai. The more he looked, the more he felt that was the case.

That kid Huo Xingye went to visit him yesterday and mentioned Xiao Xingxing's mother and son.When talking about the fact that everyone thought Zai Zai was Huo Zhourong's illegitimate son, Mr. Huo suddenly felt blessed.

If Huo Zhourong married that girl Xiao Xingxing, Zai Zai would be a member of their family! !
It doesn't matter if it's Huo Zhourong's own, anyway, that kid probably won't have a woman in his life who will give birth to him.Apparently Mr. Huo didn't know anything about the charm of his grandson.

On one hand, I think this proposal is great!

"Do you think Uncle Huo is good?" He asked his little friend Zai Zai directly.

Because Xiao Xingxing obviously didn't like Huo Zhourong, Mr. Huo felt that the eldest grandson was too upset, he couldn't even catch up with a woman.

Zai Zai looked at him with small eyes: "Grandpa, do you want my mother to marry into your family?"

"That's right, that's right!" Old man Huo nodded his head fiercely, "Look, baby, we are good friends, right? If your mother marries into our family, then we will be a family in the future, so we will be even closer!"

Zai Zai sighed: "Grandpa, don't think about it. My mother said that she doesn't like Uncle Huo, so she won't marry into your family."

"What about you? Don't you like it too?" Old man Huo pitifully held Zai Zai's little paw, "Don't you want to be a family with grandpa?"

"That requires my mother to be willing." Zai Zai patted the old man's shoulder as if you had no choice but to say, "It doesn't matter if it's not a family, we are best friends."

Xiao Xingxing didn't know that Mr. Huo had gone to instigate Zai Zai, and she went to the studio of that senior sister.

"Hello senior sister, I'm Xiao Xingxing."

"Hi, I'm Wang Lei."

Wang Lei is a woman in her 30s, very bookish, wearing Hanfu with long hair and shawls.He doesn't look like a company boss, but a layman living in seclusion in a paradise.

"Your one and only is amazing!" Wang Lei led Xiao Xingxing to visit the studio, and said, "I didn't know you were my elementary school girl until the teacher mentioned it to me. I was too busy before and I'm sorry for not replying to you."

Xiao Xingxing hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, if senior sister is not finished, I can come back another day."

"I know why you are looking for me." Wang Lei smiled, "I have some ancient prescriptions in my hand, but basically all of them have been put on the market."

She pushed open a glass door, and there were two perfumers inside, and the air was filled with the smell of various spices.This is Xiao Xingxing's favorite place, she quickly judges every kind of fragrant kisses in the air, and guesses how they are extracted.

"My banner is mainly for joint names now." Wang Lei took out a piece of candy from the box on the table and handed it to her.

This is a very popular toffee, but...

Xiao Xingxing took it over: "This is not sugar, but perfume?"

"Yes, this is our summer new, co-branded toffee perfume with their family.

Xiao Xingxing judged the ingredients of this perfume in just a few seconds, it was very simple.In addition to the sweet and milky taste, probably to cater to the summer, jasmine and orange blossom come with the breath of the ocean, and there is also a looming salty taste.

"Tell me!" Wang Lei looked at her with a smile.

Xiao Xingxing hesitated for a while, but still told the truth: "The taste is not very special, but the shape is better than that. With the joint blessing of toffee, it will definitely sell well."

"So you see." Wang Lei shrugged, "In today's market environment, we can no longer win with pure taste. Especially for small studios like ours, we will basically follow this route in the future."

She paused: "However, it's different for you at Huo's. They are rich and powerful, and you have a lot of time and money to develop new flavors."

"Senior sister, I think you are already very good." Xiao Xingxing shook his head, "I read last year's sales ranking of online stores, and you ranked first in the perfume category."

Wang Lei laughed twice: "At least make some money to open the studio, and then support yourself!"

When leaving the studio, Wang Lei personally sent her out again.

"I will inquire about the ancient prescription you want, and I will tell you as soon as I have any news."

"Thank you, senior sister!" Xiao Xingxing was a little embarrassed, "Whenever you are free, let's have a meal together." During the time she was talking to Wang Lei just now, Wang Lei was either interrupted by the phone several times, or someone came over ask questions.

The other party is so busy, Xiao Xingxing feels that coming here today is too disturbing to him.

"Okay! Wait until I'm done with this part." Wang Lei readily agreed.

At night, Aunt Fang secretly told Xiao Xingxing that Mr. Huo came during the day, and she didn't know what he said to Zai Zai.Xiao Xingxing paid close attention to observing his son all night, but Zai Zai didn't tell her any signs.

Xiao Xingxing thought about it and decided not to ask.

Mr. Huo will not harm Zai Zai, Zai Zai is so sensible, so there is no need to worry.But when it comes to Mr. Huo, Xiao Xingxing thinks of Huo Zhourong, and it seems that he hasn't contacted him for a long time.

She hesitated for a moment whether to greet her, but immediately felt that it was better not to look for trouble.Since Huo Zhourong treats her as a neighbor's young lady and has helped so much, he should know the scale better, and don't hang out in front of others if there is nothing to do.

******
Huo Zhourong actually wanted her to hang out.

He realized that his feelings for Xiao Xingxing had changed. In his heart, the little girl had been promoted from a neighbor's little sister to a woman who made his heart throb.

But Huo Zhourong hesitated, because he didn't know if this throbbing liking meant that he wanted to spend his whole life with someone.In Huo Zhourong's worldview, he planned how many children he would have in the future from the first day of dating.

Failure is not allowed in the middle, whether it is him or the woman.

That's why Huo Zhourong is very cautious about choosing a mate. He needs some time to think about it and confirm whether he is definitely Xiao Xingxing.

During this period, he did not contact Xiao Xingxing, nor did he visit her.But from time to time, he thought of her, and even wondered why this girl didn't come to him, so that he would have an excuse for the two of them to meet.

As a result, Xiao Xingxing didn't contact him either.

"Mr. Huo, we can leave for the dinner with Minister Li at seven o'clock tonight." Secretary Qin came in to remind him.

Huo Zhourong didn't move: "What is Xiao Xingxing doing these days?"

"..." Assistant Qin was glad that he didn't withdraw the two bodyguards following Xiao Xingxing, and hurriedly opened the small notebook to report. "Miss Xiao has been running between the company and the hospital recently, and hasn't gone anywhere. But today she went to a perfume studio. I checked that the studio's founder is Miss Xiao's senior."

After he finished speaking, he waited for Huo Zhourong's instructions, but there was no sound for a long time.Assistant Qin saw Huo Zhourong staring at the air seriously, not knowing what to think.

He tentatively asked: "You are free these two days on the weekend, do you want to visit the hospital and treat Miss Xiao to a meal?"

Huo Zhourong finally reacted. He stood up and walked out, giving him a sideways glance as he walked: "Isn't there a dinner party? What are you doing?"

Assistant Qin: "..."

Huo Zhourong planned to have dinner with Xiao Xingxing on the weekend, but Xiao Xingxing didn't give him a chance, because the godfather of perfume, Larkin Mosen, came, and Xiao Xingxing was going to have dinner with him on the weekend.
