Chapter 386 A sarcastic tone, advising people to be cautious

The secretary remained silent.

Lu Xinyi paced angrily around the office, her high heels crunching on the broken pieces of glass on the floor.

"Ring ring ring..."

The phone and cell phone kept ringing.

Countless phone calls came in.

"ah!"

Lu Xinyi threw the phone away.

Remember this!

It's all Shi Nian's fault!

If Shi Nian hadn't been involved in this project, she wouldn't have let her subordinates spread this news!

Then this situation wouldn't have happened!

The secretary waited patiently to the side until Lu Xinyi had vented her anger by smashing things, then she asked, "Miss Lu, what should we do now?"

"And there's still Shi Nian over there, we..."

The secretary didn't say what followed, but the meaning was already clear.

"She was just lucky!" Lu Xinyi shouted. "She had no idea that Gu Qian wanted to leave, so she invested with Fu Jinyan. It just so happened that Gu Qian didn't leave!"

Yes, that must be it!

The more Lu Xinyi thought about it, the more convinced she became.

Shi Nian also invested a large sum of money in gold and copper, wasn't it because he thought that this sum of money was already locked up, so he wanted to gamble and recoup his losses?

Even Shi Nian herself thought she had already lost, and it was no exaggeration to say that she looked so bad when she got off the plane.

This time it was just luck.

It wasn't Shi Nian's own strength at all!

"Besides, it's just that no one left and it's a small order worth ten million, which is no big deal at all," Lu Xinyi said through gritted teeth. "The Lu family has plenty of big projects."

The secretary was also startled and nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying, "Yes, it's just a small project with such a small amount of funding. It's nothing. Only a small company like Yishi would take it so seriously."

Lu Xinyi felt much better after hearing this.

"So, Ms. Lu, what about the other companies..." the secretary asked after calming her down.

"Just tell the truth, we've been misled too." Lu Xinyi looked at her secretary and said meaningfully, "It's possible that Yu Yan deliberately leaked this information, understand?"

The secretary immediately understood, smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand."

After watching her secretary leave, Lu Xinyi sat back down in her chair.

Her eyes were filled with hatred.

She won't lose!

She will never lose to Shi Nian!

...

The Fu family's old residence.

The three people watching the live stream together had different expressions.

Grandpa Fu remained calm as he drank his tea.

Fu Er's face was as sour as if he had just been kicked in the face.

Fu Jinyan... burst into laughter.

"Second brother, what did you just say?" Fu Jinyan just loved to kick someone when they were down.

"Don't trust Shi Nian too much?" Fu Jinyan mimicked Fu Er's tone from just now, speaking sarcastically and sounding extremely irritating. "Afraid of being laughed at?"

"Let's see who dares to laugh at me now! Hahaha!" Fu Jinyan laughed wildly.

"Fu San!" Fu Er suddenly stood up, looking like he was about to hit someone.

Fu Jinyan shrugged and hid behind Old Master Fu: "Oh, Second Brother, don't get angry, be more composed."

Fu Jinyan, known for his volatile temper, advised others to be more composed.

Fu Er was so angry that his blood vessels were about to burst.

"You'd better pray you keep having good luck!" Fu Er said, then turned and left.

Only Fu Jinyan and Grandpa Fu remained at home.

Old Master Fu glanced at Fu Jinyan.

Fu Jinyan quickly repeated what Shi Nian had told him earlier.

“Grandpa, it doesn’t sound like what Fu Er said.” Fu Jinyan added after he finished speaking, “Shi Nian solved the problem, otherwise, those who were going to leave would still have left, and nothing would have changed.”

Fu Boxiao nodded, indicating that he understood.

...

During the game of chess.

Shi Nian finished watching the live stream and came out.

When everyone in the company saw it and read it aloud, they immediately cheered.

Shi Nian watched them with a smile, without stopping them.

After the noise gradually subsided, Shi Nian said, "The bonus will be doubled, and there will be paid annual leave, as promised to everyone."

The crowd cheered happily again.

Meanwhile, his men had also prepared a delicious meal.

Everything was brought in, and everyone celebrated happily. Huo Yanmo also came, bringing a big cake.

"A celebration needs cake," Huo Yanmo said with a smile. He had someone order it early in the morning.

“That’s right.” Shi Nian nodded.

Huo Yanmo handed over a cake knife.

Shi Nian reached out and took the cake, cutting it amidst cheers from the crowd.

Everyone shared the cake, and Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo also took some cake into Shi Nian's office.

Sitting on the sofa, Shi Nian took a bite of the cake; it was sweet, and she liked it very much.

Countless celebratory text messages kept coming in on her phone. Shi Nian smiled and let it vibrate, planning to reply to them all later.

Huo Yanmo sat down next to her, looked at the cream on her lips, and took a tissue to wipe it off for her.

Then, taking advantage of Shi Nian's inattention, he kissed her.

Shi Nian glared at Huo Yanmo.

Huo Yanmo smiled and took a bite of the cake.

Shi Nian suddenly leaned over and kissed him.

"It's sweet," Shi Nian said with a smile, looking at Huo Yanmo.

Huo Yanmo smiled too.

As the two ate their cake, Shi Nian picked up her phone and started checking if there were any important messages she needed to reply to.

“This is just the beginning,” Shi Nian said softly. “Although Gu Qian’s matter has been resolved, the future is still uncertain.”

Poaching talent is not uncommon.

It's uncertain whether Xu Cheng can keep Gu Qian here, or whether Yu Yan can develop properly.

Moreover, there's still no progress on my father's matter.

A game of chess cannot always go smoothly, because someone will always make a move.

The power that once drove Shi Yichen, at the peak of his life, to jump off a high building is something she can no longer match.

Huo Yanmo understood Shi Nian's worries. He took her hand and told her that he would always be by her side.

...

After lunch.

Huo Yanmo returned to the Huo family.

This time, no one blocked his office door.

Huo Yanmo smiled.

He carried the food box back to his office.

Secretary Xu immediately followed him in.

"How is it now?" Huo Yanmo asked.

“They are having a secret meeting,” Secretary Xu replied immediately.

At this moment, in a small conference room, several leaders who had previously opposed the move secretly gathered together.

"What do we do now? We thought Shi Nian's failure would dampen Huo Yanmo's arrogance, but we didn't expect that girl to be so lucky and suffer no losses!"

"Yeah, so what we said before... wasn't it a bit... a contradiction?"

"No, we are just offering advice based on the current situation; we mean well!"

"Yes, and Shi Nian just didn't fail, nor did he make any money. He only improved a little bit, which is nothing."

"That's right, the projects we handled were more profitable. Not losing doesn't mean winning. Our advice didn't result in any losses, but rather helped us avoid risks!"

They all nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
