Although the media was not invited to the banquet to keep things low-key, the Huo Corporation’s official account gave everyone a red packet with 666 yuan the next day. The company even gave out desserts during afternoon tea. The desserts were from Lin Xiaowan’s shop. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝒏𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡．𝙣𝒆𝙩
The employees who received the red packets were extremely surprised and happy. They asked about it before their superior accidentally leaked the matter. With this, the employees found out that red packets were a gift from the president to celebrate his engagement.
Lin Xiaowan was unaware of this. After posting the photos to Speaker that day, she had cleaned up her inbox. It was also at that time that she discovered a message from a small snack company asking if she could design a logo for their brand.
The company was not very famous. Lin Xiaowan searched for relevant information and saw that the company was registered not long ago. Clearly, they had only started their business recently. They mainly sold processed fruit products such as canned fruit, dried fruit, and fruit syrup. Although their sales volume was only average, the number of positive reviews was quite high. Even the negative reviews were only related to problems with the shipping and packaging. After reading the reviews carefully, she found that everyone liked their products.
Lin Xiaowan replied to the message, and the other party quickly called back.
The snack company was called The Laughing Buddha. They wanted a monkey in their logo because the three founders of the company were born in the year of the monkey. They were all fresh graduates so the budget given to Lin Xiaowan was not much. For this reason, the person who reached out to Lin Xiaowan felt slightly embarrassed.
“Well send you some of our products so you and your friends can try them…”
To Lin Xiaowan, money was not an important matter now. There was another thing that made her feel hesitant.
“I’ve never designed a logo before so 1 don’t know if I can do it well. However, I’m quite interested in this. If you don’t mind, I’ll sketch out a draft for you to see first.”
The other party said, filled with praise, “We’ve seen your painting that you won an award for, and we really like your style.”
Lin Xiaowan was surprised that the other party contacted her because of the artwork she submitted for the competition. She felt a surge of joy from being recognized.
Lin Xiaowan quickly went to work and completed the first draft quickly.
The little monkey she drew carried a small cloth sack over its shoulder. It had a strawberry in its mouth and carried various fruits in its hands. The small cloth sack was also filled with fruits. Even the necklace around its neck was made of litchi.
Lin Xiaowan showed Huo Zheng the first draft and asked, filled with anticipation, “What do you think?”
“It looks good and cute. The other party will definitely like it.”
Huo Zheng, who was not very eloquent, tried his best to sound sincere. His expression was also serious as though he was looking at a billion-dollar contract.
After that, Huo Zheng said, “We’re moving tomorrow. Everything has been packed. 1’11 get the driver to send you there tomorrow. Also, see if you have left anything behind.”
“Okay, okay,” Lin Xiaowan replied with a nod as she hugged her sketchbook to her chest.
“Alright, you can continue drawing tomorrow. Go to sleep now, okay?” Huo Zheng asked, bringing her pajamas over.
The deadline given by the other party was especially lenient. She had a week to show the other party the first draft so she was not in a hurry.
The next day.
They moved to the house in Xilin Imperial Garden. It was really big. The front yard and backyard were filled with newly planted flowers and plants; they were lush and full of vitality. After all, spring was the season of growth
Aunt Wu had also moved in and was waiting for Lin Xiaowan at the door.
Their things had been sent over in advance, and Little Chestnut’s room was also almost completed.
Lin Xiaowan carried Little Chestnut and got out of the car. After that, she put Little Chestnut down so Little Chestnut could explore the new place. Then, she turned to look at Huo Zheng, who was in the midst of a conversation, and asked, “Who are they?”
Huo Zheng was talking to a man and a woman at this time.
The man was a little older and a little overweight with an obvious beer belly. He was dressed in a well-tailored suit. All in all, he looked jolly and kind.
On the other hand, the woman looked very young; she was probably in her early twenties. She was dressed very fashionably, and her make-up was exquisite. Her hair was curled, and she wore her sunglasses on top of her head. At this time, she held the arm of the man next to her.
Upon hearing Lin Xiaowan’s question, Aunt Wu shook her head. “I think they’re here to give President Huo a gift. When we were moving two days ago, they came once. The man wanted to talk to President Huo but was rejected. I don’t know why he came he again today…”
Lin Xiaowan asked curiously, “Is that his daughter?”
The young woman looked like she was at least 20 twenty years younger than the man. It seemed logical for her to be the man’s daughter.
Aunt Wu almost burst out laughing, but she quickly held it in. Then, she leaned closer to Lin Xiaowan and whispered, “I received them when they first came. They’re a couple…”
In fact, calling the duo a couple was over-simplifying things. Aunt Wu had seen many people in her life. With just a glance, she could tell that one of them was not really willing. In any case, their relationship was clearly not simple.
Lin Xiaowan’s eyes widened in surprise upon hearing those words. She thought to herself, ‘With this age gap… It seems like they really love each other for them to be together…’
Lin Xiaowan no longer paid attention to this matter after that. She was just curious to see visitors as soon as she moved in. After asking about it, she threw the matter to the back of her mind.
“There’s a pond over there. I’m going to put these fish in. Miss Lin, do you want to come and take a look?” Aunt Wu asked, holding a small jar in her hands. There were another seven or eight jars on the ground. Each jar contained a different fish.
“Who bought them? Huo Zheng?” Lin Xiaowan was slightly curious.
“Yes,” Aunt Wu said, “The landscaping company President Huo hired said that it’d be good to raise fish in the small pond to add to the scenery…”
Aunt Wu continued to say, “Didn’t you see? The person who brought the fish over just left. He was very careful with all of them. It’s obvious that the fish are not only beautiful, but they’re expensive as well.”
Lin Xiaowan did not know much about fish, but it did not stop her from nodding her head approvingly.
“I’ll bring Little Chestnut into the house first before going to the small pond with you. Are we going to feed the fish? 1 want to feed the fish!”
At this moment, Little Chestnut ran over to Huo Zheng and circled him curiously.
Huo Zheng was already familiar with Little Chestnut at this point. He listened to the man flattering him as he calmly bent down to pick Little Chestnut up. However, Little Chestnut ignored him and quickly slipped away from his hands..
