Slowly, he realized that his actions reflected the state of his heart. When he realized it, he tried to change the habit, but he found that once there was no sound in the house, the more difficult it became for him, and sometimes he even had tinnitus. There was no helping it, his family's television often played over the furniture in the living room.

Tonight, the sound of the TV was echoing through the room, but he didn't seem to hear it. He washed his hands in the bathroom, went to the refrigerator in the kitchen, got a can of beer, and went into the study to get a tablet computer to sit on the sofa and surf the Internet.

His family's television always seemed to have two channels, which were the CCTV News Channel and the Jiangning Province News Channel. Occasionally, the stage would change, and that was only when Sun Mann came to the Cloud City.

As her gaze wandered over the computer screen, Huo Shuqing thought of those big eyes of hers at night and how she looked as she giggled and talked.

This girl was really interesting!

He laughed silently and turned off the TV and went to bed.

The next day, Su Fann always remembered to give him the money to pay. After finally getting off work at noon, she rushed to the bank near the office. She still had five thousand on her card. That was all she had. He had to pay him back a thousand, so he only had four thousand left. When he returned home for the new year, he would probably spend it all. It doesn't matter, it's different now. Even if it's a holiday, the salary will still be paid. It's 3,200 a month!

Looking at the time, he should be free now, right? The phone calls shouldn't affect him, right?

Su Fann thought for a moment before she typed out the words she wanted to say to him a few times. Then, she took out her phone and walked to the side of the road to dial his number.

At this moment, Huo Shuqing was accompanying the Leader in receiving the inspection team from the central government. Her phone was vibrating in her pocket. He took a glance at it and then quietly walked out of the dining table.

The long ringtone in the receiver made Su Fann feel that she had made a mistake. He must be busy, she realized, and quickly hung up the phone. Carrying her bag, she walked quickly to a roadside snack bar to get ready for lunch.

However, just as she was paying for her meal and waiting, she seemed to hear her mobile phone ring. Her ringtone was a new song, the latest single by the American country queen, Taylor Swift, and not many people used it as a ringtone.

Was it him?

Su Fann hurried out of the snack bar and pressed the call button outside.

"Hello," she said.

"It's me, Huo Shuqing!" Huo Shuqing was slightly surprised. Did this girl not save his number?

"Secretary General Huo, I'm sorry. I just called to ask when you were free. I took out the money and gave it to you. I'm sorry to bother you, she said quickly.

He seemed to be stunned for a moment, then quickly added, "It's fine, it's fine." He didn't expect her to be in such a hurry to return the money to him. It was only one thousand yuan. This girl …

After some thought, Huo Shuqing said, "There's no need for you to pay me back. There's something I want you to help me with."

"Huh?" Su Fann was surprised. How could she not return it?

"What is it?" she asked.

"Saturday is my niece's birthday. She's fifteen this year. Could you buy her a present for me? I've been a little busy lately and haven't had time to go shopping. "I'll be home on Friday night. Once you're done, give me a call —" Huo Shuqing said.

Just as he was about to say something, a man approached him and whispered something in his ear. He then said to Su Fann on the other end of the phone, "Alright, I still have things to do. Goodbye." Then, he quickly hung up the phone and went into the dining room.

This time, Su Fann was troubled. Buying a birthday present for a fifteen-year-old girl, what was she going to buy? He had no idea what girls liked these days.

There was no helping it, after work in the afternoon I will go to my colleagues to learn from them. It seems like Sister Li's daughter is only a teenager. However, Sister Li's family situation couldn't be compared with Secretary General Huo's. The gift she gave her daughter was probably on a completely different level from what Secretary General Huo gave his niece!

Right, isn't there still Shao Ruixue? He could call her and ask her. This Yue Guang clan definitely knew what was suitable for him to buy. It was at this time that her best friend began to show her strength.

After making up her mind, Su Fann returned to the snack bar with peace of mind.

When she received Su Fann's phone call, Shao Ruixue was in front of her computer, browsing the web page in boredom.

"Xue Er, there is something I want to ask you for an idea." Su Fann went straight to the point.

"You heartless guy, why didn't you call me when you had nothing to do? Is she still a sister? " Shao Ruixue giggled from the side.

"You busy person, how would I dare disturb you? If I destroy your world, I can't afford to be guilty, Su Fann said with a smile.

"Jealous?" Shao Ruixue asked with a smile.

"What kind of vinegar am I going to eat? I can't wait for you to get married.

"Don't worry, men are just seasonings. Our friendship will last forever …" Shao Ruixue said as she walked out of the office.

"Alright, alright. I'm going to die from the pain." Su Fann smiled as she interrupted Shao Ruixue's words, "To be honest, I want to ask you something."

"Hmm, speak, I am your dream!"

"Tell me, what should I buy for a fifteen-year-old girl's birthday present?" Su Fann asked.

Shao Ruixue was obviously very professional, asking Su Fann about her family background and hobbies. Su Fann had no idea what Huo Shuqing's sister's house was like, so she could only guess that it should be pretty good.

"I want to buy electronic products, cellphones, computers, etc." Shao Ruixue said.

"That should be pretty expensive!" She thought Huo Shuqing wouldn't want her to buy something too expensive. After all, his niece was a student.

"Too much money?" Shao Ruixue thought about it and said, "Oh right, a few singers are going to have a concert at Cloud City's Star Gymnasium next week. Now that children are so obsessed with them, you'll definitely be happy to buy a good seat ticket. "

"That's right! "Xue'er, you're too smart!" Su Fann said excitedly.

"Of course! You go online and look for a way to buy a ticket. Don't forget to treat me to a meal, Shao Ruixue said.

"I know!" After Su Fann hung up the phone, she hurried back to her office to check on the concert news.

After confirming, Su Fann sent a text to Huo Shuqing, saying that she would buy a concert ticket for Huo Shuqing's niece and ask her when to send it over.

In the evening, Huo Shuqing called her on her way home.

"What a coincidence. My niece just called me and told me she wanted to see a concert. The concert will be held in Cloud City, the one you were talking about, right?" Huo Shuqing asked with a smile

"It should be!" Recently, there has only been such a large-scale concert in Cloud City! " Su Fann thought about it and said.

"Oh, are you in the dorm now?" Huo Shuqing suddenly asked.

"Yes sir!"

His laughter came from the other side of the phone, "Then can I come over to pick it up?"

"Huh?" Su Fann was so shocked that she stood up.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Well, I'm sorry, Secretary General Huo, we haven't got the tickets yet —" she said.

"Oh, so it's like that. Then it's fine. Just send it over to me when you have it in your hands." Huo Shuqing said.

"Yes, I understand."

"Alright, then that's it. Goodbye." Huo Shuqing hung up the phone after she said that.

"Goodbye — —" Su Fann spoke into the microphone that no one was listening to.

It looked like he had to get the tickets as soon as possible. Tomorrow was Thursday, and he said that he would return home on Friday.

Eh, is Secretary General Huo's home not in Cloud City?

Yes, he seemed to be alone when she went to his house that night, and she remembered that he didn't even have a pair of women's shoes.

Didn't he have a wife?

This thought flashed through Su Fann's mind and was immediately erased. She told herself that she shouldn't have guessed at him. After all, he was her leader, she shouldn't have guessed at him.

In fact, before calling Su Fann, Huo Shuqing did receive a call from her niece Yang Zitong on her way home. Yang Zitong directly told her uncle that she was going to the Cloud City to watch a concert and asked him to help her get a few tickets. She said that she would treat this concert as a birthday present for her.

"Aren't you going to take the final exam? Why would he still have the mood to watch the concert? "Do your parents agree?" Huo Shuqing asked.

"When the concert starts, we've already finished our exams." The niece said, "Uncle, I still have three classmates who want to come over to see us. You can just give us five tickets. "Well, it would be best if there could be a place at the top, Uncle. Is this a littlecase for you?"

"Sure, as long as your parents agree, I'll be fine." Huo Shuqing said.

When she heard this, her niece had already kissed her uncle on the phone.

"Uncle, this is a promise," Yang Zitong had not finished her sentence when she heard her uncle say, "Let me tell you, it's not good to fail the final exam."

"Relax, I already knew that you and my mother were from the same country. Don't worry, I definitely won't let you down. "Well, I'm going to do my homework. My mom wants to talk to you." Yang Zitong passed her phone to her mother, then skipped into her room.

"Find a safe place for yourself. Your brother-in-law and I are both busy and unable to accompany Tong here. I heard that the children were accompanied by a parent, and four children and one adult is fine with that. As for safety, watch out for us. " said my sister.

"Alright, I understand." Huo Shuqing responded, "Sis, have you been to see your parents recently?"

"If we go, can we not go?" Huo Jiamin sat on the sofa. "Mom is talking about Sun Mann again. What do you think the two of you are going to do? This is almost 40 years-- "Huo Shuqing was about to speak, but her sister didn't even give him a chance," Don't blame me for saying that. The niece of our Uncle Wu is the same age as Sun Mann. Mom was also provoked by him, otherwise, he wouldn't talk about this anymore. Brother, why don't you come back this week and have a nice chat with Sun Mann? "Let's try out the test tube baby. Can you conceive something else? If you guys act in this way, your parents can explain it to you. What do you think?"

Huo Shuqing's mood darkened when she heard her sister's words. He looked at the window, not saying a word.
