Chapter 55: Detaining Jian Zhou

Tsk.

Jian Mo raised an eyebrow, "I didn't say no, but there has to be a reason."

"The revision suggestions they gave me are very consistent with your style. I am willing to give this opportunity to you." Song Ke said proudly, appearing very selfless and generous.

Jian Mo didn't believe it. Everyone in this department was very cunning. How could they give up the fat piece of meat so easily?

"But I'm already following a new project, so I'm afraid I don't have time to take it over."

"You probably don't have the right to refuse. This is a project being discussed by the higher-ups, and I'm your director. I've appointed you to this position. If you don't accept, then you can leave. The design department doesn't need you."

What Song Ke meant was that she should stop being shameless.

Jian Mo licked the teeth on the roof of her mouth with the tip of her tongue, and said with a forced smile, "I can accept it, but I have to say this beforehand: don't wait for me to accept it and then try to influence my design."

Song Ke sneered and walked back to the office without comment.

After the people left, Jian Mo opened the documents impatiently, thinking about how to reject the winery project. If she took over, she would definitely not have enough energy and would have to give up one.

At this moment, a male colleague from Group A suddenly came over and stopped beside Jian Mo's workstation, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

He had pursued Jian Mo before, but he had always been timid and cowardly. He had distanced himself from her after learning that she was married. Now this was...

Jian Mo said impatiently, venting her anger on him.

He glanced at Song Ke's office and quickly said, "The IP copyright of this project is not with the other company, but with the ex-girlfriend of the other company's CEO. Song Ke went there several times but couldn't reach an agreement."

After saying that, he fled into the bathroom.

Jian Mo immediately understood that designing the cover would inevitably involve copyright issues. If her ex-girlfriend didn't give in, everything would be ruined. It was quite tricky, so no wonder Song Ke gave in to her.

"What a cunning guy." Jian Mo drank some water irritably, explained on WeChat, and rejected the winery owner very tactfully.

The other party expressed regret and sorrow, but she didn't know that her heart was also bleeding.

Xiao Chen slid his chair over and said indignantly, "I knew the rat and the wolf had no good intentions when they visited the chicken! The key is how did the copyright end up in the hands of your ex-girlfriend? How are you going to get it back?"

Jian Mo was also thinking about this problem. She guessed that this beverage company was jointly established by a couple in the early days of its establishment, and the woman took away the copyright when they broke up.

Relationship problems, business competition... These are not ordinary problems.

"Never mind. I'll try my best."

In any case, Jian Mo was still somewhat interested in this project, not only because of its good prospects, but she also wanted to prove that she could do the project that Song Ke could not!

At ten o'clock in the evening, Huo Qichen pushed open the door of the lounge and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, "The sun is rising from the west."

Jian Mo didn't sleep today. She was brainstorming while holding a computer. Because her hair was in the way, she tied it into a ponytail, revealing her delicate and beautiful facial features.

It was also at this time that Huo Qi Chen suddenly had an idea and discovered that she was a beauty.

However, when he walked up to him, his expression suddenly turned ugly, "Are you checking Weibo?"

Jian Mo raised her head and said, "Correction, to use the terminology of the venture capital circle, I am doing due diligence!"

Using the limited information she had, she dug out the secondary Weibo account of the beverage company's CEO and discovered that it was filled with daily love affairs. However, this account stopped updating three years ago, which was probably the time when they broke up.

"What are you looking at this for?"

"See if you can find out why they broke up."

In fact, their daily life is very sweet. It can be seen that they had little money and lived a hard life three years ago.

Huo Qichen glanced at it a few times, and it was all the same corny, everyday things. "Can you tell from this?"

"Of course. Don't think that his record looks very sweet. In fact, there must be some embellishments. You can find it if you look carefully." Jian Mo said skillfully, scrolling the mouse to scroll down.

Song Ke still had a conscience and the information he gave her included his ex-girlfriend's current address, but since he couldn't find the pain point of the problem, Jian Mo didn't dare to act rashly.

Huo Qichen raised his wrist, glanced at the time, patted her head, and said, "Let's go."

Jian Mo was distracted at this moment, "Why are you up so early today? Hey! Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo, wait for me!"

I don’t know if it’s because he goes to and from get off work with Huo Qichen, but Jian Zhou didn’t show up. In order to prevent any accidents, Jian Mo even called Xu Ming and asked him to help her keep an eye on the hospital, but the feedback he gave was that he didn’t see Jian Zhou.

In the car, Huo Qichen received a call: "Sir, the matter you instructed has been completed. He owes money to our casino, and our detention of him is a formal procedure. Don't worry."

"Yeah." Huo Qichen paused as he looked at the woman who was still reading Weibo. "Don't let the news of him being in your hands get out."

"clear."

After hanging up the phone, Jian Mo suddenly shouted, "I know!"

Huo Qichen slowly put down his phone and said, "I know what it is."

Jian Mo excitedly pointed at one of the Weibo posts and said, "This is why they broke up!"

——I had a social event last night, and the other company invested two million in us. I was so happy that I drank too much, but I don’t know why, when I woke up the next day, there was a woman next to me... I’m sorry to Zhuozhuo, and it’s reasonable for her not to forgive me.

Jian Mo shook her head at the shocking news, "So he cheated on her, physically."

"Then I'm afraid she won't hand over the IP copyright." Huo Qichen's fingers tapped unconsciously.

"Not only that, if I were this woman, I would sell the copyright at a high price so that he can't get it back, what a bastard!" No wonder Song Ke keeps hitting a wall, it's as he deserves!

"So what are you going to do?"

"I..." Jian Mo was silent for a moment, then turned her gaze to Huo Qichen and smiled slyly: "In order to gain trust, the most important thing is to have empathy... Mr. Huo, can you do me a favor?"

the next day.

Huo Qichen had a business meeting in the evening. He said to Mu Yi, "I have to go out for a while. Let's change the meeting to an online one."

Mu Yi quickly put away her things and said, "Boss Huo, are you going out for work? The meeting can be postponed. I'm willing to accompany you..."

"Some personal matters, no need to postpone, I can go by myself."

Mu Yi was slightly stunned. During this period, Huo Qichen not only cancelled the procedure of asking her to report work in the car every morning, but also no longer took her with him when he went out.

There are already rumors in the office that Huo Qichen marginalized Mu Yi in order to avoid suspicion.

It seems that the two people really have nothing to do with each other!

"Mr. Huo is alone?"

Huo Qichen typed on his phone with one hand: "I'm going downstairs." Then, without even looking up, he replied: "Okay, you coordinate the meeting online."

In a cafe by the sea.

There are many office areas around, and many white-collar workers come here to drink coffee and change their minds after get off work in the evening.

"I've been with you for seven years! You actually cheated on me!"
