Huo Yuntang is still at the Whale Hotel.

He originally planned to leave directly. Since Xie Li was so stubborn, he would ignore her and teach her a lesson.

But as soon as he stepped out of that door, he ran into someone he never expected.

Huo Yuntang quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. Xu, hello!"

Xu Zhen, the CEO of Zhenye Group, has always been active only in the south. I never expected him to come to Linjiang City!

Xu Zhen, dressed in a suit, looked quite refined. He even smiled slightly when he saw Huo Yuntang. "Who are you to Xie Li?"

"Xie Li?" Huo Yuntang was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

The assistant was also surprised by Xu Zhen's amiable demeanor. After all, although he had never met this boss in person, there were countless rumors about him.

Xu Zhen started from scratch, and his rise to wealth can be described as very dramatic. Every investment he made was astonishing, which led to the creation of his current vast business empire.

Many people are envious of Xu Zhen's unique investment acumen, and are willing to spend a lot of money just to have dinner with him.

But this boss's temper is hard to describe. To put it nicely, he's a refined scoundrel; to put it bluntly, he's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

He's quite principled and ethical in his business dealings, but if anyone tries to play dirty tricks on him, he's not so easy to talk to.

He is always ruthless and vicious, domineering and rude. In the business world, people value harmony and make money. Even if there are some disagreements, they will not completely break off relations for the sake of profit. But Xu Zhen is different. He likes to tear things apart recklessly. No one can plead for him. He has shown his barbarity and wolfishness to the fullest extent.

How could such an important figure speak so gently to Huo Yuntang, as if they were old friends?

To be honest, in the assistant's opinion, the Huo family wasn't even worthy of carrying the shoes of a big shot like Xu Zhen.

Huo Yuntang quickly calmed down, his eyes flickering slightly. Did this person know Xie Li?

He didn't think the other party genuinely cared about Xie Li; they probably valued the Huo family's background and Xie Li's social status.

He smiled slightly, displaying the demeanor of a wealthy family: "Mr. Xu, do you know Xie Li? I am Huo Yuntang."

Xu Zhen frowned slightly, feeling that this young man was somewhat impolite. Not only did he not answer the question, but his tone was also arrogant and conceited, acting as if he were an equal. Did he even know what it meant to respect his elders?

"Is Xie Li in here? Why isn't she coming out? Is something wrong?" Xu Zhen, thinking of her purpose, didn't mind the man's rudeness and even smiled.

Xu Zhen mentioned Xie Li repeatedly, and normally Huo Yuntang would have reacted quickly.

But perhaps the bottle of Lafite he drank before coming here tonight was fake, or perhaps he was too shocked by being humiliated for the first time in his life when he flaunted his wealth.

Huo Yuntang was somewhat displeased that Xu Zhen kept mentioning Xie Li. Shouldn't the two business prodigies be discussing cooperation when they wanted to meet?

"What could she possibly have done? Just a little girl throwing a tantrum." Huo Yuntang dismissed it casually. "It's fate that we met. If it's convenient for you, Mr. Xu, would you like to have a drink?"

Xu Zhen finally realized that something was wrong.

He knew his niece had been resting inside, so he deliberately ran over here to pretend to bump into her, which is why he was so nervous the whole time.

Seeing Huo Yuntang come out, he greeted him warmly, but it was just an excuse to go back in and get closer to his niece.

The man in front of me looked respectable, but he spoke as if he had suffered from cerebellar palsy for over a decade.
