Movies and TV: The heroine of the blind date

Unlike other families, the Huo family has always been headed by a woman; the current head of the Huo family is Huo Linglong. Less than an incense stick's time after the brocade pearl was sealed, she got the news and began to call the managers of each room to hold a meeting to discuss how to deal with the matter.

Inside the Huo Family Meeting Room

As the head of the family, Huo Linglong naturally sat in the first seat, with her daughter Huo Jinxi standing beside her. Sitting on the left and right were the heads of each family, while the one kneeling on the ground was the person involved in the incident, or the culprit.

"They actually robbed the tombs of less than three generations. The people below really don't know the rules. Sister, you are the head of the family. You must not tolerate people who break the rules like this, right?"

Huo Linglong's sister Huo Linglang tapped with a smile.

Not to rob tombs within three generations means that if the grandson is still alive, he cannot rob his grandfather's tomb. This is an unspoken rule in the tomb robbery industry, and the fear is the current situation.

"Linglang is right. We must not tolerate this. I would just send them to the police. Once we hand them over, Zhang Kangan will be less angry. At most, we can pay him some money, and he won't keep holding on to this matter."

Second uncle Huo Tinghui also spoke.

"Since my second uncle has said so, I naturally have no objection..."

"Aunt, don't send me to the police station. I'm your nephew, you can't just ignore me...Jinxi, we've been friends since we were little, please help me put in some good words for me."

As soon as Huo Linglong finished speaking, a young man kneeling on the ground began to cry bitterly.

Incompetent bungler.

If he didn't speak up, Huo Linglong could still help out after entering the police station. What else can he say now?

"Second Uncle, I'll have to trouble you to go to the police station."

"It's what I should do. We are all working for the Huo family."

There are reasons for kneeling and sitting, and everyone thought that it was time to stop at this point, but what happened next was beyond anyone's expectations.

…………

an hour later

Huo Tinghui's servant ran into the meeting hall anxiously.

"My boss is sorry. My boss followed your instructions and went to the police station to hand over the person, but Zhang Kangan took advantage of the situation and insisted that he was also an accomplice. Now everyone has been arrested."

"What, how dare he do that?"

Under normal circumstances, Zhang Kangan would not dare to do this, but he couldn't help but sell out his teammates; such a kind invitation was hard to refuse, so he had no choice but to turn it down.

Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.

After a while, Huo Linglong's follower Huo Youdao also ran in hurriedly.

"Boss, just now, the police and the tax bureau teamed up and accused us of hiding dirty money and evading taxes, and they sealed up all our pawnshops and banks in Star City..."

"What……"

The pawnshop and the money house were of great importance to the Huo family. When these words came out, everyone could no longer sit still, including Huo Linglang and others who were waiting to see Huo Linglong make a fool of herself.

“Why is the tax bureau involved?”

Ordinary people are afraid of the police station, but merchant families like the Huo family are most afraid of the tax bureau.

"The Zhang family is considered a wealthy and prestigious family in the local area. Wang Qiang, the current director of the First Division of the Taxation Bureau of Xingcheng, was once a student of Old Master Zhang. It is not surprising that they would get involved."

Everyone in the room lost their sense of proportion, but Huo Jinxi, who was only 18 years old, was the calmest.

"Sister, you are the head of the family, and the disaster was caused by your nephew. You have to give everyone an explanation anyway."

There are always some people in the world who are good at internal fighting but not good at external fighting. Huo Linglang happens to be one of them.

"Don't worry, everyone. Director Ye's second wife from the Taxation Bureau is my poker partner. She and I are like sisters. I will find a way to handle this matter."

"Ha ha ha ha"

"why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing, sister. In fact, there are some things that you don't need to look far away."

"What exactly do you want to say?" Huo Linglong frowned.

"Okay, then I'll make it clear. Governor Li has always been interested in Jin Xi. Don't you think you, a smart person, wouldn't know that?"

Huo Linglang laid her cards on the table.

"Impossible, don't even think about it! Our Huo family has never had a woman become a concubine for three generations."

Two years ago, at the celebration ball for the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the Star City Chamber of Commerce, Li Chengqian danced with Huo Jinxi; just as Huo Linglong said, Huo Linglong was so smart, how could she not see that the other party was interested in her daughter?

"This is a different time. Now is a chaotic time. It's not easy to preserve the family. Why do we still have to follow so many broken rules?

Who is Li Chengqian? Going back a hundred years, he was a man who could be emperor. He could fall in love with Jin Xi, which meant he respected us and the Huo family.

Let me just say this, if he loses his patience and plans to use force, do you have any way to stop him?

Will it be helpful to ask for help from your poker-playing friend, Director Ye’s second concubine, who is like a sister to you?

Sister, I know you want Jinxi to take over your job, but what our Huo family lacks now is not a successor, but an opportunity to establish a relationship with Li Chengqian.

Everyone chose you to be the head of the family, you can't just take care of yourself."

Huo Linglang resorted to moral blackmail.

Chapter 412 The Third Concubine

The next morning, led by the doorman, Huo Jinxi walked into the Governor's Mansion.

"Ms. Huo, this way please."

"Thank you, Chief Steward Li. I will go to see the commander now. I hope I won't disturb his rest."

Huo Jinxi came so early, not only to show respect, but also to be prepared to wait; but she didn't expect to be welcomed in as soon as she revealed her identity.

"No, the commander-in-chief gets up very early every day and is now practicing with several guards in the martial arts field. Please get in the car."

The Governor's Mansion is just a small Forbidden City. Except for the Government Affairs Hall at the entrance, you need to take a car to go to other places.

Five minutes later, Huo Jinxi arrived at the martial arts arena. When she first heard that Li Chengqian was sparring with the captain of the guards, she did not take it too seriously, thinking it was just a pastime and a show of power by the superiors. But now, the situation in the arena was a little beyond her expectations.

Fast, no matter whether it was Li Chengqian or his three opponents, their movements were too fast, Huo Jinxi could barely see the outline of an afterimage; and each of them attacked with great force, and the marble fragments that were stirred up from time to time around them were the best proof of this.

Are you sure this is a sparring match and not a fight of life and death? Also, Li Chengqian and these captains of the guards are so bold, aren't they afraid of something bad happening?

Ordinary people certainly wouldn't dare to do this, but Li Chengqian had a super strong recovery ability, and the three captains of the guards who practiced with him were robots similar to Wuzhu; when their master gave instructions, they naturally did their best.

bang bang

"That's all for today, you guys go down and rest."

"Yes, Overseer."

It was Li Chengqian who took a few punches from the opponent and withdrew from the battle circle.

"General Li..."

"Ms. Huo, I just finished practicing and I'm sweating so much that I'm going to take a bath."

As Li Chengqian spoke, he walked towards the Huaqing Pool, a bathing area next to the martial arts arena.

When asking someone to do something for you, you should have the attitude and awareness of asking for help. If the other party is really stupid enough to wait outside for you to finish taking a bath, not only will she not be able to get the job done, but it will be difficult for her to enter the Governor's Mansion next time.

Huo Jinxi was a smart person. When she came here, she had already figured out the scenarios she might encounter. The one in front of her was not the best, but it was not the worst either. She followed him into the bathhouse step by step.

Huaqing Pool is a naturally formed hot spring. This may have been a consideration when the Governor's Mansion was built here.

After taking off his clothes with the help of the maid, Li Chengqian walked into the bathtub as usual, closed his eyes and started soaking in the bath.

After about a quarter of an hour, when Huo Jinxi was in a dilemma, Li Chengqian spoke.

"You all go down..."

"Yes, Overseer."

The "you" that Li Chengqian mentioned naturally did not include Huo Jinxi, so she stayed.

“Can you give me a massage?”

"Ah, yes... a little bit."

Born as the eldest daughter of the Huo family and loved by everyone, how could Huo Jinxi give people a massage? But there are some things that you have to do even if you don’t know how to do them.

………………

"You came to me because of the closure of Jin Shang Zhu, right? This matter is indeed too much for your Huo family. If I were Zhang Kangan, I would also close your store."

Li Chengqian did not pretend to be stupid. After he had finished beating her enough, he started to get to the point.

"Not only is it Jin Shang Zhu, the tax bureau also sealed up our Huo family's bank and pawnshop."

"Humph, flies don't bite seamless eggs. I'm afraid your Huo family's business is not clean enough."

Li Chengqian opened his eyes, held Huo Jinxi's delicate hand and said clearly.

"General Li..."

Although Huo Jinxi was precocious, she was not yet Huo Sanniang, who later took charge of the Nine Gates Huo Family. Li Chengqian's aggressiveness made it a little difficult for her to cope with it.

"Every year the tax bureau submits me a list of the most corrupt businessmen in the province who have become unscrupulous and committed crimes.

Getting rid of them will not only bring a huge amount of money, but also earn you a good reputation among the people; your Huo family was already on the list two years ago, do you know why they are causing trouble for you now?"

"Because the governor favors Jinxi."

Li Chengqian had made it clear, so Huo Jinxi naturally couldn't continue to play dumb.

"At the Chamber of Commerce celebration ball two years ago, they knew you caught my eye and thought you would become my second concubine.

But the fact is, two years have passed, Tingting has got the job, but you have not made any move yet.

They began to feel lucky, thinking that maybe I just acted on impulse that time, but in fact I didn't think much of you.

It just so happens that the Zhang family incident has given them another chance to test the waters; do you believe that if I do nothing next, they will not only close your store, but will even go to your home to arrest someone.”

Although Huo Jinxi had grown up two years ago, she was still too immature in the eyes of Li Chengqian, who had seen countless women. But now, her figure is well-proportioned and her skin is fair and rosy, and it seems that the harvest season has come.

"Whatever the warlord wants, Jin Xiyi will do it for you. Please help my Huo family get through this difficult time."

People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.

As she spoke, Huo Jinxi took off her clothes and swam into the bathtub like a mermaid.

...............

In the evening, Huo Jinxi returned to the Huo family in Li Chengqian's car. The person who drove her back was one of the three captain guards who had practiced with Li Chengqian in the morning.

"Ma'am, I'll go back first."

"I'm sorry to bother you, Captain Li, today."

"You are too polite, ma'am. I am just following the orders of the governor."

Li Chengqian's car always attracts attention wherever it goes. There are many people and eyes at the entrance of Huo's house. I believe that it won't be long before the conversation between the two will spread throughout Star City. By then, the current troubles of Huo's family will naturally no longer be a problem.

"Hahaha, our family's great hero is back!"

As soon as Huo Jinxi walked into the gate, everyone from the Huo family came out to greet him. Except for Huo Linglong, everyone looked happy.

"Jin Xi..."

Knowing that her daughter had always been strong-willed since she was young, but now this was the result, Huo Linglong looked at her daughter with a worried look on her face.

"Mother, Li Chengqian said that he will have someone deliver the engagement letter in three days, and will officially marry me in half a month."

Ordinary families only need a sedan chair to carry their concubine through a side door; however, Li Chengqian never likes his women to suffer in such matters. It was the case with Ren Tingting last time, and Huo Jinxi was no exception this time.

"Okay, that's good. Don't worry, Jinxi. I will definitely give you a grand wedding when the time comes."

"I want brocade and pearls as my dowry..."

Huo Jinxi did not say this to Huo Linglong, but to everyone in the Huo family.

"I want the icing on the pudding. You have a big appetite."

"This is our family inheritance. How can we give it to a woman who married out?"

...............

"Jinxi, is it your idea to want Jinshangzhu, or is it Governor Li's idea?"

Compared to other people's chattering, Huo Linglang asked the point. If only Huo Jinxi wanted it, they could still use family ties to bargain, but if it was Li Chengqian who wanted it.

There is absolutely no room for negotiation on this matter.
