Chapter 438 As expected of A City's number one love-obsessed person

He finally got a chance, so why shouldn't he pamper his woman? Should he let someone else do it?

And so, he, Huo Yanmo, became the number one love-obsessed person in City A.

Shi Nian's mood improved considerably.

She stroked the orange cat's head, and she thought about the past few days.

Unlike before, when she was with Huo Yanmo...

She is always happy.

On the other side.

Secretary Xu has already informed everyone that the meeting has been postponed.

Because it was announced in advance, it didn't cause any delays; it just made some people curious.

"President Huo usually sets aside this time for meetings. Why isn't there a meeting today? Is something wrong?"

"I don't know. I only postponed it when I was on a business trip or had something important to do."

...

Just as everyone was discussing whether the company had any major projects recently, someone brought the latest news: "President Huo is playing with Shi Nian's cat. Big Orange just adopted two dogs as his underlings."

Everyone was a little confused.

"Playing with cats?"

"Yeah, I saw him playing with Orange downstairs."

"I can vouch for it. I'm the receptionist. Just now, someone from above suddenly asked me to run an errand to buy some dog food. Later, I found out it was for those two dogs."

Everyone looked at each other and then came to a consensus—"President Huo truly lives up to his reputation as A City's number one love-obsessed person!"

The fact that the two were playing with the cat quickly became gossip.

And those two dogs.

They were quickly incorporated into the organization and placed under the direct leadership of the Orange King.

While things are harmonious on one side, on the other side...

One person was not very happy.

Lu Xinyi has arrived at the designated location.

This is a private room.

She opened the door and saw the man waiting inside.

He is a member of the Guo family, Guo Kai.

Lu Xinyi suppressed her displeasure, walked in, and closed the door.

"Sit down," Guo Kai said.

The private room was very comfortable, with leather sofas, solid wood tables, and freshly picked bouquets on the tables, arranged exquisitely and beautifully.

If one didn't know that Guo Kai had come to demand an explanation from Lu Xinyi, one might even have thought that the two were on a date.

Lu Xinyi sat opposite Guo Kai, carrying her bag.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Lu Xinyi asked bluntly.

Guo Kai sneered and said, "He definitely wants to ask Miss Lu for an explanation and compensation."

“I don’t understand what you mean,” Lu Xinyi immediately denied.

She can't get involved in this.

Especially now that Yuyan has made technological breakthroughs and has received countless orders.

Guo Kai had long known that Lu Xinyi would deny it.

He could barely contain his anger.

After careful consideration, they believed that Yu Yan was a very valuable investment and had even prepared the funds. He himself also planned to go there in person. However, late that night, they received news that Gu Qian was leaving.

It should be noted that he was at a critical juncture in the family struggle, and he had to go to great lengths to secure funding and resources from the Guo family in order to invest in Yuyan.

Later, unwilling to give up, he sent his men to take a look. It could be said that his initial plan was to invest a small amount of money if possible, and to accept the loss if things didn't work out.

However, it was the joint blockade by Lu Xinyi and Fu Xinjun, and the subsequent notification to everyone during their rest time that day, that made him realize there was no need to offend Lu Xinyi and Fu Xinjun for this small project, and he gave up.

"Miss Lu, do you know that I've become the laughingstock of the family?" Guo Kai sneered. "The cooked duck has flown away, and they say I'm a piece of trash!"

"Many important projects have stopped letting me participate, saying I'm bad luck."

Guo Kai was even angrier when he thought about the recent disadvantages and how all of this was because Lu Xinyi had released the news in an attempt to besiege Shi Nian.

He must get it back from Lu Xinyi!

So he said, "And what about the shares of Yuyan that I should have had? How will Ms. Lu compensate me?"

Lu Xinyi's expression remained unchanged.

She slammed her bag on the table, her expression one of absolute dominance: "I told you, it's none of my business, I was deceived too!"

"Guo Kai, what does it matter to me if you're a good-for-nothing?"

Lu Xinyi coldly rebuked, "If you want to fight or snatch, use your own abilities. Don't blame me!"

She can't back down now; she can't let Guo Kai see her fear.

"Do you want me to produce evidence?" Guo Kai's lips curled into a vicious smile. "Do you think I haven't investigated?"

He slammed his fist on the table.

"Do you think I dare to challenge you, Miss Lu, just because I have nothing?"

"Lu Xinyi, all you need to do now is shut me up. If you're not willing to compensate me, don't blame me for spreading this around and letting everyone judge!"

"You!" Lu Xinyi gritted her teeth.

She knew she hadn't done a clean job.

When she first spread the news, she didn't make any special effort to conceal it.

Her only thought was that when Yuyan went bankrupt, everyone would know that Yuyan's core technical personnel had left, and perhaps they would come back to thank her for letting them avoid the pitfall.

But unexpectedly, everything has now turned into a boomerang that has pierced her own heart.

She also knew that she couldn't let Guo Kai tell anyone, otherwise, given the current speed of Yu Yan's development, at the very least, her reputation as "Miss Lu" would be completely ruined.

She cannot allow this to happen!

But what if Guo Kai uses this matter to blackmail him again?

How can we solve this problem once and for all?

Lu Xinyi thought to herself, glaring at Guo Kai with resentment.

"I just want what I deserve," Guo Kai sneered. "Lu Xinyi, I'm not that stupid. I'm in the right now. If I ask for more, the Lu family won't let me off the hook."

As he spoke, Guo Kai paused slightly, leaned forward, and said in a low, fierce voice, "You should really be glad you're a member of the Lu family!"

If it were someone else, like Shi Nian who wasn't with Huo Yanmo yet, he wouldn't think so much and would definitely make Shi Nian go bankrupt!

With the Lu family backing her up, as long as Lu Yanzhi still acknowledges Lu Xinyi as his cousin, they won't dare to act recklessly.

Lu Xinyi stared at Guo Kai in front of her.

Her heart was filled with hatred.

This was the first time, the first time she had ever been threatened like this!

Moreover, she had no other options, simply because the other party had leverage over her.

The conditions proposed by the other party were not particularly unreasonable.

But how could she swallow this insult?

She was clearly setting a trap for Shi Nian from the beginning!

It's all Shi Nian's fault!

At that moment, Nian ruined everything!

It's all Shi Nian's fault that she's in this predicament!

"Lu Xinyi, will you give it to me or not?" Guo Kai urged as Lu Xinyi was filled with resentment and anger, "I don't have much patience left."

"What do you want?" Finally, Lu Xinyi looked at Guo Kai across the table and squeezed out the words through gritted teeth, "I can't agree to anything too outrageous!"
