Chapter Sixty-Seven: Fu Hengzhi hugs her, and Huo Zhan witnesses it.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was quiet.

Loulan stroked the teacup in his hand, a knowing glint in his eyes.

"You spent a lot of money to place me in the Zhou family, to infiltrate the support group of Zhou family's anchors and spread dirt on me, so that the fan leaders of those big anchors would find an opportunity to defect during the annual competition. You really played a big game to promote Su Su."

Even if Su Muci had strong singing skills and Bai Nuannuan's fame to help her in that competition, she still lacked a solid foundation in the industry. How easy would it be for her to defeat big streamers like Qinglan and become the number one in the year in a short period of time?

Besides bribing the judges, she also needs to manipulate public opinion; otherwise, even if she wins first place, it will inevitably cause turmoil.

Therefore, Huo Zhan took advantage of the conflict between Su Su and Sister Loulan at GX Radio in advance to lure the Zhou family to poach Sister Loulan. Then, with Sister Loulan's help, he gradually caused the well-known female anchor support group under the Zhou family to collapse.

This is also why Zhou's fans switched sides so quickly during the annual competition.

But he wouldn't let Su Muci know any of this.

All he needed was for her to believe that she had the ability to reach the top and was worthy of all the glory.

Huo Zhan wrote a check for 90 million.

"Remember, disappear from Jiangcheng, and never let her know about these things."

Loulan accepted the check and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Huo."

Huo Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly: "What did you call me?"

He has always been known as Mr. Zero.

Apart from Su Muci and the Huo family, who knew his real name, he did not believe that he had revealed his identity elsewhere.

Loulan said, "Having worked at the radio station for so many years, I've heard too many people's voices. The way you speak is calm and powerful, and the composure and demeanor in your words are unlike those of an ordinary executor. So I dare to guess that you are not a special assistant to the Huo Group, but rather Huo Zhan, the business tycoon who never reveals his identity."

"You must have a reason for hiding your identity. I've taken your money, so I'll keep quiet."

Huo Zhan's deep eyes narrowed slightly: "Go say goodbye to her."

Loulan smiled and said, "Okay."

...

In the general manager's office, Su Muci forced herself to stay alert and followed Assistant Xu to check the handover of business at the new company, Su's Radio, one by one, and then signed renewal contracts with the remaining anchors.

However, her thoughts drifted uncontrollably towards the conference room, like a kite with a broken string.

What would Huo Zhan do with other women in a closed space?

Will they hug each other? Will they kiss?

Her palms trembled, as if something very important was slipping away between her fingers.

"Su Su".

A familiar voice rang out from the direction of the door.

She looked up and saw Loulan standing there with her handbag, her expression gentle. "Do you have time? Let's talk."

Su Muci asked her assistant to leave first.

Loulan walked into the office and pushed a delicate little gift box in front of Su Muchi.

"You gave me that bracelet that day, and I never had a chance to reciprocate. Here, I'll give you this. We probably won't see each other again."

Su Muci accepted the heavy gift, her heart suddenly clenching: "Master, are you leaving?"

"yes."

Loulan's smile held a hint of bitterness. "To be honest, I left the countryside and came to Jiangcheng for a man. I wholeheartedly believed that we could have a future together, but unfortunately, he got married."

"Now I can finally let go of it. I plan to go back to my hometown, buy a mountain, build a country villa, and live my idyllic life."

Upon hearing this, Su Muci felt as if something was blocking her throat.

She looked at Loulan before her, exquisite, bright, mature and elegant, exuding a calm charm that had seen the world.

He thought to himself: This is the type that Huo Zhan truly likes.

Compared to her, she is indeed nothing.

Su Muci's eyes darkened, and she asked in a low voice, "But Master, can you bear to part with him?"

How can you just give up such a good man like this?

Su Muci didn't even know how she felt when she asked the question.

She was also afraid that Loulan would say she couldn't bear to part with him, and that would make her feel uneasy.

She was also afraid that if he said he was willing to part with it, Mr. Huo would be sad.

But she asked the question as if possessed.

Loulan chuckled softly, "What can I do if I can't bear to part with it? Since I had the courage to go to Jiangcheng for love, I now have the courage to cut off my own arm to save my life."

Seeing Su Muci's bewildered and dazed expression, she continued, "Su Su, I thought you were just a little woman who depended on others to live, but after seeing your performance in the annual competition, I know I was wrong."

"You are very strong, you don't accept your fate, you don't give in, you cleared your mother's name in public for her retirement from the entertainment industry, and you also made the unfaithful man pay for his sins."

“You don’t live by depending on others; you have the ability to make men willingly go through fire and water for you. You will find happiness.”

...

When even Loulan's echo was no longer heard in the entire office, Su Muci felt lonely in the emptiness.

With a heavy heart, she opened the small gift box, inside which was a music box.

In the middle is a couple, one wearing a beautiful white wedding dress and the other wearing an elegant suit with a rose brooch on his chest.

They danced hand in hand, gently moving to the music of the wedding march, much to the envy of those around them.

Su Muci closed the music box and murmured softly, "Happiness..."

Is a year-long period of happiness enough?

Although the tenderness he gives is so wonderful that it can make people unconsciously indulge in it, you must not develop any inappropriate greed.

Her past experiences taught her that if she greedily desired something, she would lose it completely.

Su Muci, don't be greedy.

Never be greedy...

If she is destined not to have it, she would rather not hope for it.

But when she finally decided to let go of all her emotions, Su Muci's eyes inexplicably welled up with tears.

Around noon, Su Muci deliberately avoided Huo Zhan, who was talking with Assistant Xu, and left the Su Group building alone.

The streets were breezy in early autumn.

Su Muchi wandered aimlessly, trying to let the autumn wind blow away the gloom in her heart.

Suddenly, a sports car screeched to a halt beside her.

"Cici?"

Fu Hengzhi got out of the car and saw that her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

He was taken aback at first, then a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Cici, you're still the same as before, so clingy to me. You cried like this just because I was too busy to spend time with you last night?"

He naturally attributed her disheveled state to his breaking his promise the night before, stepped forward, and reached out to hug her.

"Alright, stop crying. I was just about to come find you. Come on, let me take you to get something to eat."

Su Muci didn't look at him, only recognizing Fu Hengzhi's aura and voice. Her face was already as cold as ice: "Let me go."

Her voice was very soft.

Fu Hengzhi held her tightly, but his patience was wearing thin: "I've already made myself perfectly clear, what are you still arguing with me about?"

I said let go.

Su Muci's cold words completely enraged him, and the next second, he shoved her hard to the ground!

Seeing Su Muci fall to the ground, a look of panic flashed across Fu Hengzhi's face, but it quickly disappeared, leaving only annoyance in his tone:

"I put aside a bunch of company business to coax you, why are you pretending to be so aloof! Have you forgotten how you used to beg me to hug you?"

Hearing his sarcastic words, Su Muci, who had fallen to the ground, felt a sharp pain in her heart.

His old, dagger-like words echoed in my ears:

"Su Muci, when you're pressed against me, you're like a bitch in heat!"

"Su Muci, as long as you behave well, I can sleep with you and cure your slutty ways."

Each stab was precisely aimed at her most vulnerable spot, drawing blood with every blow.

Whenever he appears, he constantly attacks her with her illness, reminding her of how wretched and pathetic her past was, and telling her never to dream of happiness...

Even though it's already riddled with holes, it still hurts when a knife pierces it again.

Su Muci sat on the ground, her face pale, her slender shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

Fu Hengzhi felt a pang of pity seeing this.

He helped Su Muci up, pulled her into a tight embrace again, and scolded her:

"I don't like clingy women, they're annoying! But I also don't like aloof women, they're pretentious! If you want to be Mrs. Fu, you'll have to change that, understand?"

Su Muci bit her lip.

He was so confident that he believed that even though he had bet with the rich kids that she would jump off a building, had trampled on her dignity with Zhou Mengying, and had his four subordinates take turns bullying her, she would still want to be his Mrs. Fu.

Su Muci now only felt disgusted by his confidence.

The chest and arms that were now tightly embracing her made her feel even more nauseous!

Just as Su Muci was about to forcefully break free from him, her gaze suddenly drifted past Fu Hengzhi's shoulder and landed on a car parked on the opposite side of the road.

Black, Maybach, windows open.

Huo Zhan, in the driver's seat, was looking directly at her in Fu Hengzhi's arms, while Su Muci's eyes met his at the same time.

For a moment, her pushing motion froze, and her mind went blank.
