"Sorry, I'm late."
Huo Wanying apologized, walked up to her seat, and sat down.
She looked completely normal and did not seem affected by Huo Yao defeating her yesterday during the test.
Huo Qing glanced at Huo Wanying. He was relatively pleased by her reaction.
If she came looking listless and depressed, they would think twice about promoting her to be the heir.
"Since everyone is here, let's not waste any time." The Eldest Elder stood up. He glanced at everyone present before deliberately pausing his gaze at Huo Yao for a couple of seconds. "Yesterday, you just took the first test. It was the most basic test, so the outcome isn't important."

Hearing this, Huo Yulin frowned.
He was implying that no matter the results from yesterday, the second test was critical to becoming the heir.
Even if someone came in first during the first test, if they did not pass the second test, they would still get eliminated.
He was clearly aiming those words at his little sister. He had publicly belittled his little sister claiming that she only had brute strength. Also, he blatantly sided with Huo Wanying.
Everyone knew Huo Wanying lost to his little sister yesterday.
Moreover, his little sister was never involved with union matters. How could she handle them?
Huo Yulin tightened his fists and stood up in annoyance. Just as he was about to speak, Huo Yao sitting beside him reached her hand out to hold him back.
Huo Yulin turned his head looking very angry.
Huo Yao smiled. Her lips moved and she simply mouthed two words.
'Trust me.'
Huo Yulin was stunned. Even though he knew what she meant, he could not help feeling infuriated inside.
Then again, these people had deliberately proposed holding the test for potential heirs when his eldest uncle was badly injured. Even if he said it was unfair, they would probably find some other way to make their lives hard.
Since they would still be stuck in this vicious cycle, it was wiser to just swallow it for now and see what they wanted to do.
Huo Yulin relaxed his fists and slowly calmed down.
His little sister was a miracle maker. Perhaps she might pull off the same thing as she did yesterday, making them think twice about trying to embarrass her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEldest Elder glanced at Huo Yulin. He was initially furious, but he suddenly accepted reality. The old man was a little surprised by his reaction.
It was not Young Master Yulin's style to swallow this.
It was a wise choice not to kick a fuss. It would save him the time of handling him.
The Eldest Elder pursed his lips and shifted his eyes.
Before long, he raised his hand and got someone to bring the tablet over.
Lots had to be drawn for the union assignments. Naturally, there were varying degrees of difficulty. It was really all down to luck to get an easier one.
After Eldest Elder was done going through the rules, he placed the tablet in front of Huo Yao first. "Miss Huo, congratulations for ranking first in the last round. You get to draw first."
Huo Yao raised her brow. Her eyes landed on the lot application on the tablet as she smiled ambiguously. "Why thank you then."
The Eldest Elder gave her a professional smile. "This is only fair."
Huo Yao took the tablet, swiped on it, and nodded.
She had to say that the application was well-made and very 'fair'.
