The message was sent half an hour ago. Huo Ran breathed a sigh of relief and replied quickly.
[hr: I just woke up. I slept very well last night, thanks to Dr. Tao for comforting me.]
[hr: I am usually free, as long as Dr. Tao is available.]
Huo Ran had just finished his round-the-world trip and was asked by his father Huo Zhendong to work in the company two months ago. Originally, there was a project in Jinbei City that he was supposed to follow, but later on, for some reason, the project had to be postponed.
Now he is the nominal vice president of Huo's company, but actually has nothing to do. Huo Zhendong asked him to spend more time interacting with people in the circle. Every day is spent at cocktail parties, socializing and playing golf, which is extremely boring. He also got involved with a lot of male peach blossoms because of this.
Huo Ran regretted it very much. If he had known this would happen, he would have forced his father to start the Jinbei City project as soon as possible so that he could escape from this terrible place.
pp's message alert sounded.
[Tao: That’s good. Good sleep is very important.]
[Tao: If you have any problems you want to talk about, you can send it to me at any time. I will reply when I am free.]
[Tao: Lunch break is over, I have to work.]
[Tao: I love going to work, going to work makes me happy.jpg]
Huo Ran looked at the message and couldn't help feeling ashamed.
Dr. Tao is such a positive person who not only loves his work but is also very helpful after work.
[hr: Thank you, Dr. Tao! ]
[hr:Come on/Sun]
Doctor Tao's page status changed to busy, Huo Ran did not bother him anymore, but read the chat record from last night. Doctor Tao didn't say much, but every word was full of care, which Huo Ran found very useful.
Seeing the part where Dr. Tao talked about his sexual orientation yesterday, Huo Ran was very dissatisfied with his response at the time. Although it was all his true feelings, he felt that it was still too old-fashioned and did not reflect his heartfelt respect and support for Dr. Tao at all.
I don’t know how young people nowadays express their enthusiastic support in such a fashionable way…
"What are you looking at? Why are you smiling like a pervert?"
A clear female voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Huo Ran shuddered and looked up. It was his sister Huo Sihan, who was three years younger than him.
"Can't you just ring the doorbell? You always sneak in like a thief." Huo Ran looked down on her, "What is a pervert?"
"Nothing, I just mean you're handsome." Huo Sihan said perfunctorily, "Do you know what a surprise inspection is? How can I find out your true identity even if I notify you?"
Huo Ran said shamelessly: "Do you need to find out my true face? Isn't it obvious that I'm handsome?"
"… A pervert is a hooligan, a pervert, and a pervert." Huo Sihan smiled. "Why is there such a mess downstairs? I think I saw two wine glasses on the table. Did you have any adventure without telling your dear sister?"
Huo Ran was shocked. He was suddenly attacked last night and it took him a long time to chase away the "pervert" who brought his own red wine. He was exhausted both physically and mentally and did not bother to clean up the mess.
He didn't expect to be caught by Huo Sihan today. If she knew about these things, she would definitely laugh at him.
Huo Ran looked very honest. "Can't I drink with myself? Haven't you memorized the saying 'raise your glass to invite the moon and shadow to form three people'? Play less with your phone, read more books, and learn from your excellent brother."
"... I'll give you the latest model of Orange phone. It's so fun and has everything." Huo Sihan whispered devilishly, "Then you won't have the right to say this to me."
"Don't try to corrupt me." Huo Ran said righteously, "Although Dad has admitted his mistake to me about this matter, I have gotten used to it over the years and don't feel like there is anything missing in my life."
This was Huo Ran's true words, and he didn't just want to argue with Huo Sihan.
When Huo Ran was a child, the Huo family was well off, and Huo Ran could quickly get any new things that appeared on the market. Huo Zhendong would happily buy him all kinds of new toys, imported snacks, and even computers, which were very expensive at the time.
But after the emergence of color-screen multi-function mobile phones, Huo Zhendong, like many parents, began to worry about his children's addiction to mobile phones.
In fact, Huo Ran has been a very self-controlled child since he was young. Although he is naughty, he does things in moderation, which many adults cannot compare to.
But worried parents are often unreasonable, especially since Huo Zhendong is busy with his career and has no time to take care of the education of his two children on weekdays, and there is not much communication between parents and children.
After he accidentally heard about several friends' children hiding in bed playing with their mobile phones every day, which caused their grades to drop and their eyes to become myopic, he immediately decided to take preventive measures. Not only did he strictly limit the time Huo Ran could use electronic products, he also often gave him stern lectures.
Huo Ran was young at that time, but he had a very stubborn temper. He didn't understand what other people's addiction had to do with him, nor did he understand why his father refused to trust his own son and only referred to the mistakes made by others to ask him to learn a lesson even though he had done nothing wrong.
So Huo Ran solemnly told Huo Zhendong that in the future he would only use his mobile phone to make calls and send text messages and maintain the minimum necessary contact with people. The mobile phone is just a tool and he will not be controlled by the tool.
He hopes that this action will make Huo Zhendong realize that he should spend more time to understand his son.
Huo Zhendong did not take it seriously at first, but ten years later, Huo Ran really did what he said. Even in an era when everyone is addicted to their phones and even the middle-aged Huo Zhendong is no exception, Huo Ran still uses the color screen keypad phone that Huo Zhendong guarded so closely back then.
When he needs to use the Internet for study and work, Huo Ran uses the computer to complete it efficiently and never wastes time on the Internet.
Correspondingly, Huo Ran has more disposable time than his peers. In addition to completing his studies, he likes sports and traveling. When he has free time, he travels around the world, gaining a lot of knowledge, learning several languages roughly, and making many friends.
Huo Ran did not completely give up normal interpersonal communication. He registered for an APP that everyone uses, but it is connected to the computer and cannot be carried around like a mobile phone for chatting at any time.
Over the years, girls often come to him for no reason. Since his reply speed is very random and he often appears only after a long time, the girls who come just for chatting gradually lose their enthusiasm. As a result, Huo Ran has avoided a lot of peach blossoms from the opposite sex.
After a long time, a rumor spread in the circle that Huo Ran had good looks, abilities, and family background, and had no problem communicating when they met, but he was too cold to girls when they were not meeting, and his speech was unromantic and old-fashioned, as if the fifty-year-old Huo Zhendong was chatting for him.
Huo Ran: …
Huo Ran felt that his life was happy and fulfilling, except that he lacked some insignificant knowledge. But Huo Zhendong was now worried that he was out of touch with his peers, and he kept sending his sister to persuade him to let go of his prejudices and embrace the trend of the times.
Facing his stubborn brother, Huo Sihan simply dragged a chair over and sat down, advising him earnestly, "Are you not going to fall in love in the future?"
Huo Ran was very sensitive to these words and immediately put up his guard, "What? What does this have to do with falling in love?"
"You need to chat when you are in love!" Huo Sihan was disappointed. "Who talks to their partner with a computer every day? It's so sweet to lie in bed and talk to your boyfriend until you fall asleep at night."
Huo Ran looked puzzled: "If you are in love, you can meet each other. If you are in love, you can get married. If you are married, you can live together. If you don't live together, you can still call each other. What's the difference?"
"... Ah, you're so annoying!" Huo Sihan was furious and tried to organize his words. "It takes one or two years from dating to getting married. There must be times when you can't see each other. So how can your girlfriend contact you whenever she wants to talk to you?"
"You can call..."
"Don't talk about calling!!!" Huo Sihan slammed the table in anger, "You single dog don't understand at all! The happiest thing about being in a relationship is sharing some trivial things in life with each other! For example, today's lunch was delicious, and I just saw the flowers downstairs blooming beautifully."
"No one would call to talk about such trivial matters. It would be very strange! But these are the most common things lovers say to each other, so they need to chat on their phones anytime and anywhere."
Huo Sihan found his train of thought, and looked at Huo Ran with eyes gradually filled with sympathy, "Of course, I know you don't understand this kind of fun. It's because you don't have a partner, haha."
Huo Ran had become accustomed to his sister's daily ridicule, so he just pouted and ignored her.
However, Huo Sihan's words did serve as a reminder to him. Dr. Tao said that he could talk to him anytime if he had any problem. Huo Ran might indeed need help suddenly. He couldn't just go to the computer whenever he encountered a problem, right
He didn't have Dr. Tao's cell phone number, and they were not in the same city, so the only way to contact each other was through pp.
Huo Ran thought about this question and said casually: "Even if I want to change my phone, you don't have to give it to me. I can buy it myself."
"!!!" Huo Sihan's eyes lit up, "No way, do you really have a girlfriend? How old is she? Do you have a photo? Where did you meet her?"
She thought for a moment, then sneered, "No, according to your current reputation, I should ask first: male or female?"
"!!!" Huo Ran was immediately furious when his pain point was touched, "Huo Sihan! Are you itching for trouble?"
Huo Sihan smiled and imagined, "Based on my years of experience, this is obviously a sign of guilt. Ah, no wonder you had a perverted smile on your face when I came in just now. So, may I ask, who is this lucky boy who made Mr. Huo Ran, a caveman, willing to step into modern human society?"
"What nonsense! He is a serious doctor!" Huo Ran said reflexively.
"Oh, so you like uniforms..." Huo Sihan's eyes brightened, "It seems that we are really siblings. I like pilots. The captain's uniform is so handsome."
