Engage! Mrs. Huo is the real master of metaphysics

Chapter 83 I don’t want to help them

"Okay." Huo Chenzhou agreed while starting to think about which hot pot restaurant was better.

Huo Chenzhou didn't often eat this kind of food, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think of a place that tasted better.

It happened that Secretary Tong called, and Huo Chenzhou's first sentence was, "Secretary Tong, do you know which hot pot restaurant has good food?"

"What?" Secretary Tong seriously doubted that she heard correctly. She even held her cell phone to see if she had dialed the wrong number.

Huo Chenzhou glanced at Jiang Zhi, and then continued to ask: "Do you know which hot pot nearby is better?"

After confirming that he had made the right call, he also thought that Mrs. Huo loves to eat. If Mr. Huo doesn’t come to the company, he must be accompanying Mrs. Huo. When he asks about the hot pot restaurant, he must be asking for his wife’s sake!
Secretary Tong cursed in his heart, then mentioned a hot pot restaurant that he thought was good, and finally said very thoughtfully: "I will send you the address later."

"Okay." Huo Chenzhou responded and then prepared to hang up the phone.

Secretary Tong on the other side of the phone seemed to have clairvoyance and said hurriedly: "Mr. Huo, wait a minute!"

Huo Chenzhou paused, and then he remembered that Secretary Tong had called him because he had something to talk about at work. Huo Chenzhou coughed slightly and felt a little embarrassed, "What's wrong?"

Secretary Tong then started to talk to Huo Chenzhou about work matters.

A few minutes later, Huo Chenzhou hung up the phone and found the specific address sent by Secretary Tong on WeChat.

Huo Chenzhou directly forwarded the address to the driver, then put down his phone and looked at Jiang Zhi beside him.

At this moment, Jiang Zhi was in a daze, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"What are you thinking about?" Huo Chenzhou asked softly.

Jiang Zhi came back to her senses and looked sideways at Huo Chenzhou. She blinked and said, "I'm thinking about what to order for a while."

Huo Chenzhou raised his eyebrows slightly. He felt that Jiang Zhi was not thinking about what to eat at all, but about the Xie family, but it was obvious that she didn't want to talk about it.

Since she didn't want to say anything, Huo Chenzhou didn't ask further questions and followed Jiang Zhi's words and said, "Secretary Tong also recommended their desserts. You can try them later."

"Yeah!" Jiang Zhi nodded vigorously and decided to turn all her emotions into appetite!

When they went to the hot pot restaurant, there were not many people in the store. Perhaps it was because it was still a working day and it was already past meal time, so there were not many people.

After the two sat down, Jiang Zhi took care of Huo Chenzhou and ordered a mandarin duck pot, but the spicy pot was very spicy!
"Is it too spicy?" Huo Chenzhou frowned slightly.

Jiang Zhi shook her head and said righteously: "Hot pot must be spicy to be authentic!"

Huo Chenzhou stopped talking, and Jiang Zhi ordered more than half of the dishes in the store.

When placing the order, the waiter saw so many dishes and reminded him very considerately: "Miss, the portions of the dishes in our store are not too big, but they are quite a lot. With so many dishes, you two should eat it." Endless.”

"I'm a super eater, I can finish everything." Jiang Zhi said seriously.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then said nothing, nodded slightly, and turned around to leave.

Soon the bottom of the pot was served, and the dishes were served one after another.

Jiang Zhi was probably really hungry, so without further ado, she began to prepare for a big meal.

Huo Chenzhou looked at the chili peppers floating in the spicy pot and couldn't help but frown. He always had a light taste and occasionally ate something spicy, but Huo Chenzhou couldn't eat something as spicy as this.

It's just that Jiang Zhi didn't eat it for long before it was already so spicy that she couldn't stop breathing.

"Don't eat it if it's too spicy. Your stomach won't be able to bear it." Huo Chenzhou reminded again.

Jiang Zhi still shook her head and continued to eat bite after bite. She didn't put down her chopsticks until she was full. The weather has started to get cold now, but Jiang Zhi ate too much spicy food, and now there is a little sweat between her nose and forehead.

Her mouth was red and she was still breathing heavily, but she suddenly said: "The first time I ate hot pot was with my mom and Aunt Xie."

After Huo Chenzhou paused, he knew that Jiang Zhi's sudden mood was because of the Xie family's affairs. He said nothing and looked at Jiang Zhi quietly.

"I have no friends or relatives here. Aunt Xie is very good to me."

"Actually, I have nothing to do about today's matter."

"It's just that this matter is not simple, and it is a very troublesome thing for me."

"But helping Xie Ting'an and Xie Tingxu doesn't seem to have much effect on me."

"Aunt Xie felt very sad because of this incident, but I still didn't help her."

"Probably because the effort is not proportional to the reward. The price I have to pay is too high, so I am unwilling to help them."

Jiang Zhi looked at Huo Chenzhou expressionlessly. She spoke very calmly, but Huo Chenzhou felt that her mood was wrong no matter what he heard.

Huo Chenzhou was silent for a moment, and then told Jiang Zhi seriously, "Azhi, people can do good things, but there is a prerequisite."

Jiang Zhi blinked and waited for Huo Chenzhou to continue.

Huo Chenzhou said: "The premise is that it does not endanger one's own interests."

"I don't know how much it costs you to do that, but if it affects you, I don't want you to do it."

"Azhi, you didn't do anything bad. You just wanted to protect your own rights. This is not a bad thing."

Jiang Zhi looked at Huo Chenzhou blankly, then suddenly lowered her head and laughed.

The Huo Chenzhou in this life is really different from the Huo Chenzhou who used to consider others wholeheartedly.

However, Jiang Zhi was still comforted by Huo Chenzhou.

Seeing Jiang Zhi smile, Huo Chenzhou breathed a sigh of relief. In his eyes, Jiang Zhi had never been an indifferent person.

If it weren't for the high cost of helping Xie Ting'an and Xie Tingxu, Jiang Zhi would definitely help.

After the two of them finished eating the hot pot, Jiang Zhi had nothing to do, but Huo Chenzhou still had to go to work.

Yesterday, I postponed all my work, but who knew that something happened with the Xie family again today, and Huo Chenzhou was delayed in going to the company again.

Secretary Tong had already called several times throughout the morning, all talking about work matters.

I can just go to the company now.

The two discussed casually, and Jiang Zhi decided to follow Huo Chenzhou to the company.

Not long after, the two arrived at the company. When they got out of the car and walked into the company building, many people saw this scene. After they walked away, they started whispering again.

In the elevator, Huo Chenzhou said softly: "There is a small lounge in the office. If you are sleepy, you can take a rest."

He was very busy in the afternoon and had no time to accompany Jiang Zhi, but he was worried that Jiang Zhi would have random thoughts at home alone.
