Chapter 164 It wasn't a fake divorce, they really got their marriage certificate.

The three of them headed towards the private elevator together.

Lu Xinyi and Secretary Zhou quickly recounted the events.

The elevator kept going up.

Just before the elevator doors opened, Lu Xinyi, as if possessed, asked a question—

"Yanzhi, are you... really divorced?"

"The divorce certificate she posted isn't fake? You two really got a divorce certificate?" Lu Xinyi probed.

Lu Yanzhi didn't look at Lu Xinyi, but simply hummed in agreement.

Then, I stepped out of the elevator and hurried to the conference room.

Lu Xinyi, who was two steps behind, had a complicated expression.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately kept it closed and went with them to the conference room to deal with those people.

...

On the other side, Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo had finished lunch and were currently at Huo's gem shop.

Huo Yanmo was introducing her to the relevant businesses under the Huo Group.

He learned about Shi Nian's betting agreement while they were eating.

Shi Nian did not hide it from him.

After all, she signed with this company when she won the "Voice of Heaven" competition.

She wasn't a rigid person. She knew that Lu Yanzhi would definitely help Han Wei, so it wasn't unreasonable for her to accept help from others within reasonable limits and achieve mutual benefit.

After showing Shi Nian some business, Huo Yanmo led her through a maze of twists and turns to a secluded spot below.

There are several levels of challenges here.

The two waited for a while before the final checkpoint.

So we chatted for a bit—

"Did you know about Lu Yanzhi being besieged at the Lu family's residence?" Huo Yanmo asked, looking at Shi Nian beside him.

Shi Nian nodded; she knew these problems would arise after making the divorce public.

However, as I said before, she had already given Lu Yanzhi enough time.

“His affairs are none of my business,” she said.

"That's not what I meant," Huo Yanmo smiled and said, "Lu's stock price will definitely plummet when the market opens tomorrow. Don't you have any thoughts on that?"

Shi Nian gave Huo Yanmo a meaningful look.

"There are some things I don't want to touch," Shi Nian said.

“But some people will touch it,” Huo Yanmo said.

The two looked at each other, Shi Nian looking at Huo Yanmo in front of her.

She knew what he meant.

He probably realized it when he saw her post about the divorce.

There will be rumors of a high-profile divorce case, and Lu's stock price will fluctuate tomorrow.

That's why I said, "I thought you were going to wait."

He was incredibly perceptive.

“It seems I need to reassess you, Mr. Huo,” Shi Nian said.

"It's my honor." Huo Yanmo bowed slightly.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

A wise person knows when to stop.

Then, with the sound of high heels, Huo Junhui arrived.

"Niannian, brother!" Huo Junhui greeted with a smile, "You've arrived."

Shi Nian avoided Huo Yanmo's gaze and greeted Huo Junhui with a smile: "Miss Huo."

"Just call me Junhui," Huo Junhui said, leading the two deeper into the area.

After a long detour, we finally arrived at a small warehouse.

A series of gemstones are displayed here.

"These are the new products we're going to launch next," Huo Junhui introduced. "I was in charge of these before, but my brother just told me that he'll take over from now on to fulfill our contract with you."

Shi Nian looked at the six gems here.

Each piece is incredibly rare.

"Your contract includes a promise from the Huo family to provide you with a corresponding endorsement," Huo Yanmo said, leading her to examine each gemstone closely.

He said, "Now, I'm entrusting the marketing of this batch of gems to you. Let's see what you're capable of."

Under the lights, the gemstones sparkled with dazzling light.

Shi Nian looked up at Huo Yanmo.

"How much freedom do I have?" she asked.

“The greatest freedom,” Huo Yanmo smiled. “You can understand it as being able to…do whatever you want.”

Shi Nian's lips parted slightly; she truly didn't understand why he would go to such lengths for her.

From the moment he confessed his feelings to her until now, she still doesn't understand.

but……

Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly, looked at the six gemstones, and said, "Don't worry, the benefits of this cooperation will satisfy you."

Huo Yanmo smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to it."

...

On the other side.

The situation with the Lu family has already started to escalate.

From gossip at the beginning to finance later on.

Major financial bloggers have joined in, analyzing the couple's divorce.

Aa Finance analyzed: "In the past, there have been cases where shares were divided and reduced due to divorce, and then the woman cashed out at a high price, which was called a sky-high divorce case. This situation often causes the stock price to fluctuate greatly."

Comments immediately appeared below—

"That last stock, it was like a couple getting divorced, it caused me to suffer three consecutive days of limit-down trading, I'll never forget it!"

"Me too, me too, I'm locked inside and can't get out at all."

"Is Lu Yanzhi and Shi Nian going to pull this stunt too?!"

"I don't know, damn it! I should have sensed something was wrong when I saw Lu Yanzhi and Han Wei frequently going out together in public! Han Wei, you're almost dead, why did you seduce him! Can't you just let him and Shi Nian be together? You've ruined my life!"

"Let's see who can get out first when the market opens tomorrow."

Meanwhile, in Lu's conference room.

Lu Yanzhi's face was as black as ink.

A bunch of people around me were talking, making constant cross-border video calls and phone calls, with people from all sides asking questions.

“The Z country just called to inquire, saying that you and Shi Nian were the ones who initially liaised with each other, but now that you're divorced, they don't know what to do.”

"President Lu, there have been inquiries from Country J about what industry Shi Nian will be working in in the future, and about the current handover process."

"Mr. Lu, there's also..."

...

Just as everyone at Lu's was in a state of panic, a Rolls-Royce Phantom pulled up in front of Lu's building.

The car door opened, and a man got out of the car.

Aside from being handsome, he doesn't look much different from an ordinary Chinese person, except for his eyes, which have a faint red tinge in their pure black color.

However, without careful observation, it's difficult to tell the difference between them and Chinese people.

He walked into the Lu Group building and took the elevator to the busy conference room.

The people waiting outside saw him and immediately went in to report.

As the door opened, the man strode in.

"Long time no see, Lu." As the man spoke, Lu Yanzhi, who was at the end of the long table, frowned slightly.

He slightly raised his head and looked at the man standing at the door.

His eyes sharpened.

Upon seeing the other person, Lu Xinyi immediately strode forward to greet them, a beautiful smile on her face.

"Lin, you've arrived," Lu Xinyi said with a smile.

The man nodded.

"I saw your message online and would like to discuss our cooperation."

The man looked at Lu Yanzhi at the other end of the long table and said, "After all, you know how our contract came about in the first place, Lu."
