Chapter 381 You Bad Guy

Shi Nian was still smiling.

"Everyone, the project has only been running for one day. How do you all know I'm bound to lose money?" Shi Nian said with a smile.

Someone was about to speak again when Shi Nian struck the object hard once more, silencing the entire room once more.

“Actually, this is fine too,” Shi Nian said. “Just like some of them said, they wanted to cooperate with me because of other people’s feelings, but now they want to sever ties. Fine, I, Shi Nian, will not have any objections.”

"I just don't understand, why are you so eager to distance yourself when there hasn't even been any cooperation yet?"

Some people's eyes flickered.

The reason for the eagerness to distance themselves is obviously because of Lu Xinyi. A little inquiry would reveal what happened at Yuyan. Isn't it obvious that Lu Xinyi set a trap for Shi Nian?

There was also the trending topic that Lu Xinyi bought.

Whether they're here to kick someone when they're down or to distance themselves, it's all because of Lu Xinyi.

But even though I thought it to myself, I didn't dare say it out loud.

Shi Nian did not expose them.

"Alright, you've achieved your goal of disclaiming responsibility, you can leave now," Shi Nian said. "I don't welcome those who kick you when you're down, please don't make me call security."

After speaking, she softened her tone slightly and looked at the other people: "I understand how you feel, those of you who are asking about the situation. Just wait and you'll understand. Time will tell. All I can say right now is that the project is proceeding normally."

That's how they got rid of the person.

In a corner, Lu Qi'an was holding up a phone and video chatting with Lu Xinyi.

"See that?" Lu Qi'an said with a smile. "She's quite something. I thought she was going to cause a ruckus for a while, but now she's been kicked out."

Lu Xinyi sneered: "She's just putting on a brave face. Let's see how long she can keep this up."

He hung up the video call after saying that.

Lu Qi'an didn't care. He just glanced at Shi Nian over there, put away his phone, and turned to leave.

...

The news spread rapidly.

Photos of people causing trouble during the game were also posted online.

There's been a lot of discussion online.

"They were very ambitious when they opened, but now it looks like they're about to go out of business."

"Just say Shi Nian is nothing more than a pretty face. She challenged Han Wei before, saying she wanted to take back the Shi family's things, but now it seems she might as well leave them with the Lu family."

"That's right, she only got it back a short time ago. Without the protection of the Lu family, it will be ruined in a few days! And she even dragged Fu Jinyan down with her."

"A vase is just a vase, she should just stay home and be a pampered wife!"

...

Huo Yanmo came out around noon and was immediately surrounded by paparazzi and reporters.

Countless people surrounded him, microphones, cameras, and flashes of light almost blinding him.

"Mr. Huo, what's your opinion on Shi Nian's failed investment?"

"Mr. Huo, are you still determined to marry Shi Nian? Will Shi Nian's failed investment this time affect your wedding date?"

"Mr. Huo, do you regret letting Shi Nian invest?"

...

A series of questions were asked, and everyone's eyes turned to him.

It was also shown on the live stream camera.

Huo Yanmo was carrying a food box in his hand. He was on his way to find Shi Nian for a meal, and now he was carefully protecting the food box.

Huo's bodyguards immediately came over and separated these people.

Huo Yanmo looked at everyone present, his expression calm and composed.

"First and foremost, I must emphasize this point," Huo Yanmo said, "Niannian and I will not change our wedding date. Regardless of whether the investment outcome is good or bad, we will still get married."

"Secondly, I have never regretted letting Shi Nian develop her own career. She is a free person and can completely decide what she should do. I will not restrict her, and I admire her very much."

"at last."

Huo Yanmo glanced around at everyone present and said, "I don't think Niannian's investment has failed."

The crowd looked at each other, none of them believing Huo Yanmo's words.

With key technical personnel leaving, YuYan's valuation has already evaporated by half. Isn't this a failed investment?

Everyone thought Huo Yanmo had lost his mind.

Immediately, someone asked, "Mr. Huo, I don't understand what you mean. How come Shi Nian didn't fail?"

Huo Yanmo just chuckled softly.

Huo Yanmo said, "I was also thinking of applying to Yu Yan, so how is it considered a failure?"

After Huo Yanmo finished speaking, someone else cleared the way, and Huo Yanmo waved his hand and left.

The crowd was left talking amongst themselves.

"What does Huo Yanmo mean by this?"

"What do you mean Huo Yanmo still wants to join Yuyan?"

"I understand!" someone suddenly said. "It means that if Shi Nian really fails, the Huo family will take over the shares held by Shi Nian!"

"That's right!"

"Or perhaps the Huo family will forcefully take over Yuyan, find new researchers, and provide them with money, manpower, and personnel to make Shi Nian's project a success!"

Everyone thought this was the most likely possibility.

The viewers of the live stream shared this view.

The incident caused an uproar both online and within the Huo family.

At the top of the trending searches is—

#Huo Yanmo's ultimate love brain, he'll do anything to protect Shi Nian#

Everyone in the industry has seen it.

Lu Xinyi just smiled.

"Huo Yanmo, a guy in the gemstone business, is actually getting involved in the tech world. Does he really think technological breakthroughs are so easy? That he can just find anyone?" the assistant mocked.

Lu Xinyi was even happier: "Shi Nian must have been unable to bear it any longer and went to Huo Yanmo for help. That's just how Shi Nian is."

"Huo Yanmo is easily swayed; he'll regret it later!"

...

On the other side, the Huo family was also in an uproar.

Everyone gathered in the first conference room.

"We absolutely must not let the Huo family get involved in this matter!"

"Yeah, Huo Yanmo's love-struck mind is acting up, we can't go crazy with him."

"Yes, yes, we must stop Huo Yanmo."

"Shi Nian is truly a femme fatale. I wonder what kind of drug she gave Huo Yanmo to make him so devoted to her!"

"Where is Huo Yanmo now? What is he doing? Call him over quickly! And where are the others? Huo Junhui, Huo Zhiyao, where have they all gone!"

...

While everyone was discussing the matter, Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo were having lunch.

The area was already surrounded by bodyguards; it was impossible for anyone to come and disturb them.

They were all aware of this scenario.

Huo Yanmo looked at the things going viral online, then looked at Shi Nian, who reached out and tapped Huo Yanmo's nose.

"You bad guy," Shi Nian said with a smile.

Huo Yanmo wasn't annoyed; he simply put some food on her plate.

The two looked at each other, their eyes conveying a tacit understanding.

The two of them chatted back and forth, talking about various things, including Sisi's education.

It's as if the storms and turmoil outside have absolutely nothing to do with them.
