Chapter 32 Will You Help Me?

Huo Min's appearance did surprise her.

But what was even more surprising was that he was wearing that shirt again.

Hasn't he got anything else to wear?

Why do you wear this so often?

Mu Yuan's nervous mood was disrupted by his sudden appearance.

After all, he is the big boss, and as soon as he appears, he is immediately surrounded by people.

He glanced at her through the crowd with his indifferent black eyes, and then sat down in the main seat of the judges' booth with an upright posture.

He was just sitting there, but the awe-inspiring aura he exuded made people dare not speak.

The judge who had just said that he would disqualify Mu Yuan from participating in the meeting sat upright, looking at Huo Min nervously.

Huo Min turned a blind eye and fixed his deep gaze on Mu Yuan's face.

"Mu Gong."

Mu Yuan perked up.

"When we inspected it half a month ago, your rare seedlings were growing well. Why didn't you bring them today?"

Huo Min's words indirectly confirmed the existence of the rare seedlings for her.

Is he going to help her?

Mu Yuan's eyes paused, then she thought that it was normal for him to ask this question.

She was thinking too much.

But there was no reason to bring it, she hesitated, organizing her words.

Huo Min didn't urge her, but just stared at her with his dark eyes, waiting.

"My rare seedlings withered three days ago, so I didn't bring them."

"Why wither?"

Mu Yuan pursed her lips and said nothing.

Insufficient evidence to accuse Chen Zhoufeng.

Grab it and bring it to your body? It will turn into Tiangang.

Chen Zhoufeng was waiting to see the show, but suddenly he felt a chill on his body. He turned his head and met Huo Min's eyes.

His expression remained indifferent, but the chilling look in those narrow, auspicious eyes made him shiver.

But the next moment, Huo Min's suffocating gaze shifted away.

It was as if everything just now was just his illusion.

"What? Are you hiding something?"

Mu Yuan choked.

He immediately looked at him suspiciously.

Did he know something?

But, you can get his inner thoughts from his expression.

Mu Yuan has never succeeded.

She calmed herself down. It wasn't her who killed the rare seedling, so why should she be shy? "It's not difficult to say. I think the withering of my rare seedling was intentional."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience began to whisper.

Huo Min leaned back, his jawline was sharp and neat, his expression was cold and dull, and there was a sense of inhumanity.

"Is there any evidence?"

Everyone looked at Mu Yuan curiously.

Chen Zhoufeng straightened his back and stared at her with a subtle look.

Mu Yuan's lips parted, the voice lingering in her throat for a long time before finally coming out: "No."

Chen Zhoufeng's heart immediately settled down.

He couldn't wait any longer: "Boss Huo, no matter what the reason, since Engineer Mu's rare seedlings have withered, it means that the research has failed. If he fails, he cannot participate in this assessment meeting, so Engineer Mu's qualification to participate must be revoked."

Actually, he has a point.

But the problem is that Chen Zhoufeng is the primary suspect for the withering of the rare seedlings.

So he has no right to say that.

Mu Yuan wrinkled her nose, disgust gradually showing in her eyes.

But before she could even open her mouth, she saw Huo Min's brows arched, and the chill in his voice went straight down her spine.

"Didn't you hear it just now?"

She was slightly stunned and looked at Huo Min in confusion.

Chen Zhoufeng was also stunned: "What did you say?"

Huo Min's bony fingertips tapped on the table repeatedly, his impatience visible to the naked eye.

"The rare seedlings she was researching will generate significant revenue for the group once they go into production. Now that the specimens are gone, the group is suffering losses. The most important thing right now is to uncover the culprit, not the assessment meeting."

Chen Zhoufeng turned pale after being scolded.

"Mr. Huo, I..."

Huo Min glared at him coldly: "Or do you think that getting first place in the assessment is more important than the interests of the group?"

Chen Zhoufeng didn't dare to speak.

Huo Min withdrew his cold gaze and said in a deep voice, "Han Zhu."

Han Zhu took a step forward, clasped his hands in front of his body, and looked like he was following an order: "Boss Huo?"

"Assist Mr. Mu in the investigation. Once the results come out, we'll hold an assessment meeting."

"yes."

As he stood up, the others also quickly jumped up from their positions.

Mu Yuan never expected this to happen.

So when Huo Min strolled in front of her.

She passively raised her head and met his deep eyes.

"Mu Gong."

When he called her name, Mu Yuan's nerves instantly tensed up.

"Come to my office and report the situation."

He said this and strode away.

But the cold air pressure still exists.

Now everyone thinks: someone is trying to threaten the interests of the group, the situation is serious, the matter is urgent, and the boss is very angry.

No one really cares about the assessment meeting anymore.

The deputy dean, who had been terrified since Huo Min appeared, still felt like he was dreaming.

He lowered his voice excitedly: "I knew that Mr. Huo is a righteous boss who knows right from wrong. He won't take advantage of the opportunity to settle personal grudges!"

“…”

Thinking of this, he hurriedly pushed Mu Yuan to see Huo Min: "Oh! What are you still standing there for! Let's go to report to President Huo!"

Mu Yuan's mind was in a mess and he was dragged away by the deputy dean.

When they were almost at Huo Min's office.

She gradually regained consciousness, and then she paused as she remembered something: "Deputy Dean, I can report to you myself. You go back first."

The deputy director refused to obey: "No way! Mr. Huo was so angry when I didn't come to report in person last time!"

If the deputy dean appears again.

He would probably think that he was forced to see him again.

And this time, he asked to see her in front of everyone.

Aboveboard.

It would be a bit unreasonable for her to bring the deputy dean with her.

He said that day with mixed emotions: "You never came to my office to look for me."

Like a curse, it kept condemning her.

Mu Yuan couldn't ignore it.

Her logic was clear and she couldn't find any problems. "This time is different. Mr. Huo only asked me to report. If you show up again, he might doubt my ability to report on my own. He might get angry again."

The deputy dean was persuaded: "Then... is it okay for you to go by yourself?!"

Mu Yuan said with a straight face: "No problem, don't worry."

The deputy director glanced at the office just a few steps away, thought quickly, and compromised: "Okay, you go by yourself, but no matter what, you can't argue with Mr. Huo like last time!"

"I know."

I watched the deputy dean disappear at the elevator entrance.

Mu Yuan turned around, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

"Come in." The door panel muffled his voice even more.

Mu Yuan tightened his grip on the door handle and pushed the door open.

Huo Min's gaze was like a heavy stone pressing down on Mu Yuan, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Even if it wasn't her who caused the rare seedlings to wither.

But as a specific researcher, she cannot escape the responsibility of inadequate management.

So when she met his gaze, she felt guilty for no reason.

The moment he closed the door with his backhand.

Huo Min's voice was so faint that it was hard to tell whether it was an accusation or a normal question: "Why didn't you tell me that the rare seedlings withered?"

Mu Yuan stood straight, like a prisoner waiting for interrogation, and curled her lips: "It's already withered, there's no point in saying anything."

"Is it useless, or do you just not want to talk about it?"

The atmosphere was frozen for a moment.

His sharp eyes were like X-rays, as if they wanted to peel off her heart.

Mu Yuan's throat tightened, and she asked, perhaps in a rhetorical question, or perhaps in a rebuttal: "If I tell you, will you help me?"

He won't.

He just announced the suspension of the assessment meeting because the group's interests were damaged.

Not because of her.
