Chapter 1305: Side Story: Huo Feng Is Being Targeted!
Not only did that specialty shop miss a big opportunity, but later several other shops also did the same. Seeing the family of three with a dog, their first reaction was to refuse entry to the dog.
At first, little Yaoyao was very upset when others rejected his Husky brother. But after being refused several times, he began to question everything while staring at the Husky...
"Why don’t they like my brother? Why won’t they let my brother eat..."
Standing at the entrance of the fourth restaurant that turned away their family and the dog, Huo Yao lowered his little head, dejected.
Pu Sangzhi patted the little guy’s head, initially wanting to comfort him, but suddenly thought it could be an interesting moment to capture...
She took out her phone and handed it to Huo Feng, "Can you record this..."
Huo Feng raised an eyebrow behind his sunglasses, unsure if he heard her correctly. Did she actually ask him to record?
Is she really that into filming videos now?
Although he didn’t quite understand her intention, Huo Feng started recording Pu Sangzhi comforting Huo Yao.
Crouching down beside the little guy, Pu Sangzhi placed a comforting arm on his shoulder, "It’s not that they don’t like your brother. They are just considering the other customers. They aren’t bad people, just have their own positions and ideas. Don’t be sad, we can just go back to the parking lot and cook in the car."
"Alright! We’ll cook our own food!"
Huo Yao stood up energetically, raising his little fist, "I don’t like it here; they don’t accept my brother!"
The little guy said this while gently patting the Husky on the head with his tiny hand.
Dogs are perceptive creatures, maybe it understood the hostility directed at it.
The Husky lay obediently on the ground, making soft whining sounds, looking quite well-behaved.
Huo Feng adjusted his sunglasses and turned off the recording, "Honey, are we really going back to the car to cook just for this dog?"
Pu Sangzhi turned to look at Huo Feng, "Or do you want to ask the other few restaurants? Yaoyao and I won’t go, you can ask."
Huo Yao agreed with Pu Sangzhi’s proposal, nodding, "Daddy should go! Daddy, go find a restaurant!"
"Why is it always me? Why am I running errands for you?"
No sooner had he expressed his dissatisfaction, Huo Feng realized he was out of line and quickly explained to Pu Sangzhi, "No, no, honey, I wasn’t talking about you, I’m happy to run errands for you! You little brat, why am I running errands for you? You’re learning to order your dad around at such a young age, huh?"
Pu Sangzhi patted Huo Feng’s pant leg, "Why are you being so mean to your son? He still has to take care of the dog. Otherwise, you take the dog, and Yaoyao and I will go ask."
Huo Feng: "..."
Annoying.
This trip had just started, and Huo Feng already felt like Pu Sangzhi was showing an unreasonable amount of bias!
He had a feeling... this trip would not be enjoyable!
"Yaoyao, let Daddy hold onto brother here while you and Mommy go ask, okay? If there’s a restaurant willing to accept brother, we’ll call and bring Daddy and brother." Pu Sangzhi communicated with Huo Yao.
Huo Yao obediently listened to Pu Sangzhi, nodding his head and showing his chubby double chin, "Okay! Yaoyao will go with Mommy!"
"Hey, is it necessary to be this complicated?"
Huo Feng raised his eyebrow behind his sunglasses, "Can’t we just lock the dog in the car cage and the three of us eat first?"
Huo Yao quickly hugged the Husky’s head with his little chubby arms, "No! Yaoyao won’t abandon brother! Daddy, you meanie! Go eat outside by yourself, Mommy and I will go back to the car to cook!"
Huo Feng was resigned to this little guy.
This trip was sure to be disrupted into disorder by this little guy.
Standing up, Pu Sangzhi looked at Huo Feng, "Two choices, either pack food from the restaurant and we eat in the car, or you ask more restaurants. I thought about it, cooking in the car is troublesome, locking the dog in the car would be inhumane. What do you think?"
"I think you two are too respectful of dog rights."
Huo Feng nodded slowly, "Let’s pack some food and eat in the car, then we can come out and play afterwards."
"Okay!" Huo Yao was happy now.
Huo Yao casually found a specialty restaurant and ordered some northern dishes.
They had been living in the north for the past few years and got used to the northern cuisine.
So, even though it was local specialty food, it was still northern cuisine and not very surprising.
They packed five dishes and one soup, three vegetarian and two meat dishes, and even asked the owner to boil a large piece of pork rib in plain water, meant for the Husky.
The dog from Huo Feng’s family was very fortunate too.
Even though Huo Feng himself disdained it, he was quite willing to spend money.
When ordering, it was Huo Feng himself who suggested ordering the pork rib for the Husky, showing he also cared about the dog.
While waiting for the food at the restaurant, Pu Sangzhi took Huo Yao and the Husky outside to take pictures, while Huo Feng waited alone inside.
This was a restaurant full of tourists, with the entire hall packed with them.
The couple who were very interested in Huo Feng’s family earlier also followed them to this restaurant.
When they found Huo Feng, their eyes locked onto him...
Huo Feng was sitting alone at a table, wearing sunglasses, crossing his legs, twirling car keys in his hand, his gaze fixed on Pu Sangzhi and Huo Yao, who were taking pictures outside.
"Hello, can I sit here?"
At this moment, the male tourist who had been watching Huo Feng approached to strike up a conversation.
"Suit yourself." Huo Feng didn’t even spare him a glance.
Soon enough, the four-person table was filled with three people and Huo Feng.
Full house!
Huo Feng glanced at the three at his table, a man, a woman, and a child, his eyebrows raising behind his sunglasses without betraying his thoughts...
Oh well...
It didn’t seem quite right for him, a loner, to be sitting with a family of three.
So, as soon as the family of three sat down, Huo Feng immediately stood up, took a big step, and walked out of the restaurant.
Before leaving, he told a staff member, "I’m going to find my wife and kid, let me know when our order for takeout is ready."
Saying that, he left.
Leaving the family of three who approached him in confusion.
"Why did he leave again? Did we miss another opportunity?" The female tourist whispered into the male tourist’s ear.
"I suppose..."
The male tourist turned to look towards Huo Feng, frowning, "He seems difficult to approach."
"No worries, we’ll have more chances, let’s be flexible."
The female tourist reassured him, patting his shoulder.
"Sister, aren’t we here for a vacation?"
The little girl accompanying them asked curiously, looking up at them.
"We’re working while vacationing!"
The female tourist whispered to the little girl, "Little Jia, do you see that little boy over there? If you can make friends with him and introduce your brother and me to his parents, then your brother’s company will be saved."
The little girl obediently took this in, glancing towards Huo Yao in the distance, "Is it that brother?"
The female tourist nodded, "Yes."
After sorting out their plan, the little girl felt more confident.
In reality, they were not a family of three.
The couple had borrowed someone else’s child specifically for this trip, hoping to use this opportunity to get closer to Huo Feng.
The male tourist was named Shen Cong, and he ran a small online gaming company. The company was currently in dire straits, lacking investment and opportunities, teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.
Shen Cong was eager to collaborate with Yuanfeng Company.
Since establishing his own company, he had made some achievements and began trying all means to contact Yuanfeng Company, hoping to secure a partnership.
But for a mature and famous company like Yuanfeng, it already had its own established network of partners.
Being an unknown small company, Shen Cong found it extremely difficult to secure a collaboration with Yuanfeng.
He couldn’t even meet the decision-makers, being barred from the outset.
This time, through a small lead, he heard that one of Yuanfeng Company’s presidents, Huo Feng, planned to go on an RV trip with his family, using it for marketing.
To confirm this insider information, Shen Cong pulled some strings to verify the truth of the news within Yuanfeng Company.
Then...
He planned to take an unconventional approach, renting an RV, bringing his girlfriend, and finding a child from another family...
To see if he could interact with Huo Feng directly this way, eventually getting to know him better and discussing collaboration!
With this idea in mind, Shen Cong and his girlfriend had already decided to follow Huo Feng’s family through this RV journey for the next two months no matter what.
On the other hand...
Huo Feng’s family was entirely unaware of this situation.
