<h4>Chapter 326: Chapter 326 Huo Xingzhou’s Devotion and Dedication</h4><h4></h4>


    Huo Xingzhou’s tone was even and devoid of emotion as he asked, "What clues?"


    Zhou Yu spoke softly, "The rescue call and the person who saved you weren’t Xu Xingluo. She took the credit and hid the truth from us for ten years. But I’ve sent people to Moon Vige to inquire, and all the vigers say they can’t remember clearly."


    That day was very chaotic.


    The Qiao Family vige had been renamed Moon Vige to develop a tourism project, leveraging the natural snowfields to build ski resorts and campsites. That year, several young masters went camping in the mountains for the thrill of it.


    But who knew there would be an avnche.


    The tourists were plentiful, and so were the vigers.


    It was all chaotic.


    Fortunately, there were no fatalities that year, although there were many minor and serious injuries. In such a situation, it was indeed hard to determine who exactly had saved them. Xu Xingluo came forward and glossed over it, making it seem clear.


    They never suspected.


    The eighteen-year-old Huo Xingzhou, feverish and unconscious, woke up to everyone saying Xu Xingluo had saved him. He didn’t bother to investigate further.


    If it were the Huo Xingzhou of today, he wouldn’t have been so easily deceived.


    People be cunning foxes only after facing setbacks and deceptions.


    "Huo Er, the person who saved you could have been a tourist or a local viger. But I think it’s more likely to have been a tourist. I’ve already sent people to get the list of tourists; there might be omissions, so don’t get your hopes up too high."


    "Hmm."


    Huo Xingzhou was well aware that this was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.


    Zhou Yu grew curious and asked, "If you find your lifesaver, how will you repay them? It must be a girl, and marrying her is out of the question, since you have Qiao Xi."


    Huo Xingzhou replied indifferently, "It depends on what she needs. If she’s in financial difficulty, I can give her some money to improve her life. If she needs a promotion or a raise, I can provide her with connections."


    But he wouldn’t repay with feelings.


    Because he already had a wife.


    Zhou Yu, however, felt a bit envious. "A small act of kindness can change a life. If only I had tried hard to save you, maybe I would be the president of Tianyuan Group."


    He was daydreaming.


    Huo Xingzhou nced at the time, not having the luxury to chat idly any longer.


    "If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up. Remember to book the wine bath spa."


    "Huo Er, you really discard after using."


    The response he got was the busy tone of a disconnected call.


    Zhou Yu sat with his legs casually bent, leaning on the sofa and propping his head, bored out of his mind.


    Wine bath?


    Was Shu Xue going too?


    He decided to book one for himself; after all, it was a private booking.


    As an employee of Tianyuan Group, enjoying the perks of a private booking wasn’t unusual, right?


    Zhou Yu browsed through an app and found the hottest wine bath spa, immediately dialing them: "Hello, I’d like to inquire about the cost of a private booking for tomorrow night."


    ...


    The next day.


    Master bedroom of the Huo Family.


    Qiao Xi had a dreamless night and felt extremely refreshed.


    She was dressed in a loose, casual cheongsam custom-made by Du Juan, with a rosyplexion and excellent spirits.


    Her lips red and teeth white, she was stunning and captivating.


    Huo Xingzhou stood tying his tie, and as his gaze fell on her, he suddenly stopped his motions, "Qiao Xi,e here."


    "Oh."


    Qiao Xi walked up to him with small steps, "What is it?"


    Huo Xingzhou handed the tie to her, "Can you tie this?"


    Qiao Xi hesitated and said, "I’ve watched some tutorials but never actually tried it."


    "Give it a try."


    Qiao Xi took the tie, draping it around his neck, one end thin, the other thick.


    She had watched how to tie a Windsor knot, a necessity for business asions andparatively simple to tie. She twirled the tie into a loop, her left hand forming a triangle... and then she hesitated.


    The corners of Huo Xingzhou’s mouth curved up, and he reached out, guiding her hand to the other side.


    "Thread it through from the top."


    "Hold tight with your left hand."


    Qiao Xi tied a Windsor knot, albeit not a very standard one, and it looked ugly.


    "Huo... Xingzhou, why don’t you tie it again yourself? The tie I made is too ugly."


    She still felt a bit ufortable calling out "Xingzhou," but she felt closer to Huo Xingzhou in her heart.


    "Forget it."


    He put on his suit jacket, "Today will be like this, and we’ll practice again tomorrow."


    Was he nning to leave the house like that?


    Qiao Xi still felt awkward, "But..."


    "Let’s go."


    Huo Xingzhou took her hand, "Let’s go find your ’littleb rats’."


    Qiao Xi had no choice but to give in. She followed Huo Xingzhou downstairs and got into Old Chen’s car, sneaking nces at his ugly tie numerous times along the way.


    The Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked right in front of Tianyuan Group’s entrance.


    Qiao Xi had a ridiculous guess in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face.


    She followed Huo Xingzhou into the clean and bright lobby, where the receptionist politely greeted them. This wasn’t her first time here, and many employees recognized her face.


    There was a faint stir among the working crowd.


    Qiao Xi felt they were a bit overly excited to see her, fingers flying across their phone screens, typing and sending messages.


    When Tianyuan’s manager, Jin Kai, saw them, he quickly said, "President Huo, madam. Everything is already arranged; I’ve chosen the biggest conference room for us."


    Huo Xingzhou asked calmly, "Have the notifications been sent out?"


    "Yes, yes! The response was very enthusiastic! They were scrambling to sign up; in the end, I assigned slots based on the departments. Many department managers are arguing with me. The sales department is asking, why is the R&D department ahead of them, and the R&D department is unhappy, asking why the finance department is first!"


    Jin Kai said with excited emotion, "President Huo, although I’m not from the finance department, can I cut in line?"


    Huo Xingzhou said, "Those who have been following me to drink and attend social functions have priority. First take Qiao Xi to the conference room; I have some matters to handle."


    "Alright!"


    Jin Kai beamed with joy, looking at Qiao Xi as if she were a prized delicacy.


    "Madam, shall we go upstairs."


    "Oh, sure."


    Qiao Xi was still a bit slow to catch on, until she followed Jin Kai to therge conference room and saw a crowd of people at the door looking at her.


    Only then did she begin to grasp the reality of the situation.


    It turned out that Huo Xingzhou had informed all employees of Tianyuan Group about the arrangement of a free health checkup.


    Cheng Han’s disciple was personally taking pulses and administering acupuncture. Thergest conference room had been transformed into a temporary clinic, and she even spotted Shu Xue inside.


    "Shu Xue? Aren’t you working today?"


    As Qiao Xi entered, she was surprised to see Shu Xue organizing the equipment.


    Shu Xue turned to her with a smile, "I’m here to help, I exchanged shifts with a coworker. Your husband is paying a hefty sum for me, of course, I’de. Besides, there’s a free high-end red wine bath tonight! Qiao Xi, you’re really something, so loyal!"


    She was really looking forward to the red wine bath that evening, ready to enjoy the pleasures of the wealthy.


    Qiao Xi was truly pleased, "With your help, I’ll have a lot less to worry about."


    Shu Xue made a yful gesture with her eyebrows, "Your husband’s putting on such a grand show just so you could practice acupuncture. How do you feel? This is Tianyuan Group, after all! It’s like ying the lords at a beacon tower,pletely absurd!"


    Qiao Xi gave her a sidelong nce.


    "Oh, Qiao Xi! You must be thrilled inside! When will I ever have a man do this for me."


    As Shu Xue expressed her sentiment, she spotted a familiar silhouette at the door.


    She immediately reined in her cheerfulness, pretending not to see.
