Chapter 148: Hitting a Wall
She appeared calm in the tense atmosphere. "If we insist on demolishing the house, you guys alone might not be able to stop us. When the time comes, the original money will be directly deposited into your account. Can you sue us in court?"
"We've already purchased this land in full, and it's legal. Think about it, everyone: Is it worth wasting your time and energy fighting us?"
She swept her eyes over them with a determined look. "My father is about the same age as you. I understand why you want money. I want money too, but I still have to maintain my dignity."
The words are sharp and penetrate deep into the human nature.
Jian Mo took a deep breath, his face darkening. "This is your last chance. Lower the price and we'll have something to talk about. If you still hold on tight, we'll have to be rude."
Everyone didn't expect that such a girl would speak so bluntly. After hearing what they heard, their expressions relaxed a little.
At this stalemate, someone suddenly rushed out from the corner and shoved Jian Mo hard before everyone could react. "Don't listen to her! She's not dressed like an ordinary person! It's just negotiation skills, all fake!"
Jian Mo was not aware of the brute force of the man who usually did rough work, and because she was wearing high heels, she took a few steps back and almost fell into the deep ditch dug by the excavator behind her.
"Xiaomo!" Xiao Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
Jian Mo's face turned pale. He looked back and was really scared.
She felt a pain in her shoulder blade.
The man was also startled and stared blankly.
Jian Mo sighed, feeling a little discouraged. "Let's stop here today."
Those people also breathed a sigh of relief. The man who pushed the other person held his head high and said proudly: "I told you, it's all fake!"
Jian Mo took a few steps and stopped when she heard the words. She was so angry that she bent down, picked up a brick and was about to throw it at him.
The man shamelessly said, "What? You're going to hit me?"
Xiao Chen quickly took it and said, "Don't be angry, it's not worth it."
Inside the car, Jian Mo took off her coat and checked the bruise alone in the back seat.
Xiao Chen was waiting outside, talking to her, "I told you, these people are so stubborn, they can make me die of anger."
The news spread quickly. Before they returned to the Huo family, the news of Jian Mo's setbacks at the hands of the nail house had spread everywhere.
As soon as the subordinate saw Jian Mo, he stepped forward and said, "Director Jian, are you okay?"
Her face was very bad, she was very angry. She said it was okay, walked into the elevator and went directly to the top floor.
The proposal has been prepared, let Huo Qichen stamp it and then demolish it directly!
The secretary saw Jian Mo nodding and didn't stop her. His faint smile was meaningful.
It was at this time that she finally realized, "Secretary Qi, hasn't Special Assistant Mu returned to work? It seems like I haven't seen her for a long time."
Secretary Qi said, "Boss Huo's point is that Assistant Mu has worked hard over the years, and he can take advantage of the New Year holiday to rest for a few more days."
The capitalists were not so kind-hearted. Jian Mo frowned, guessing what had happened.
Her hand that was about to knock on the door stopped in mid-air. After thinking for a long time, she slowly withdrew her hand and regained her rationality. Why did she feel even angrier when facing Huo Qichen?
She tilted her head to try to see what the people inside were doing, and thought, forget it, I'll go back and think of a solution.
Just as she turned around suddenly, she bumped into a cold, hard chest. A deafening voice rang out from above her head: "If you want to see, go inside."
Jian Mo felt pain, and quickly adjusting her facial expression had become her specialty. When she raised her head, except for a glimmer of tears in her eyes from being hit, the corners of her mouth curled up nonchalantly: "Boss Huo."
Huo Qi Chen was holding a cup of coffee that had gone cold when he came in. His bony finger joints were red, perhaps because he had been outdoors.
With a slender figure in a black trench coat, if he walks around in it, he will definitely win the hearts of countless girls.
Huo Qichen didn't even look at her. He pushed the door past her and said coldly, "Come in if you have anything to say."
Jian Mo stood there, hesitant to speak, and pinched the proposal in her hand, feeling quite hesitant.
The man stopped and looked back at her with the scrutiny of a superior.
"I'll only give you ten minutes."
Jian Mo had no choice but to follow.
Huo Qi Chen flipped through the newly printed paper, which still smelled of ink.
Jian Mo rushed back from the construction site, she was really angry and even sweating from the rush. When she passed by the office, she simply grabbed her scarf, picked up the proposal and ran over.
The exposed neck looked even more beautiful than the snow outside, and paired with her lively eyes and eyebrows, it was quite pretty. However, the bruise on the left side of her collarbone, caused by the stubborn tenant, was faintly visible.
Huo Qichen put down the proposal and said, "It will take at least two months for the government to requisition this land. Winter isn't over yet, so you can try again with the nail house."
This is equivalent to directly rejecting Jian Mo's suggestion.
Jian Mo stood in the bright and clean office, looking at the spotless man in front of her. Her face was red and white, and she was not without anger.
She raised her eyebrows, and just when Huo Qichen thought she was going to lose her temper, he only heard: "Okay, at worst I can go a few more times."
In fact, it’s not that they don’t know that forced demolition is not feasible. If someone is injured, the Huo family will be in trouble.
She didn't even take the proposal, her tone became noticeably colder, and she turned and walked out.
Huo Qichen's sexy voice caught up: "They will do anything for money. If this route doesn't work, you should work on the people around them."
Jian Mo stopped and turned around to see the man leisurely picking up the coffee, putting it to his lips and taking a sip, without any hurry at all.
She just pretended to hear it, "My bad, I should have learned this trick from Mr. Huo."
Huo Qichen also took these words, which were full of sarcasm and hatred, to heart.
He didn't look at her. The data scrolling rapidly on the computer screen was more attractive than her.
Let her be strong, the breeze blows across the hills.
Jian Mo regretted not snatching the coffee from his hand and splashing it on his face, and then taking a picture of the ugly behavior of this dignified executor so that the whole world could see it.
The two people suddenly became very businesslike, with a hint of rivalry in their expressions.
Jian Mo has a grudge against him, about Zhao Youzhi.
Huo Qi Chen saw it, but didn't expose it.
He found a resume from the table and gently threw it in front of Jian Mo. "Huo Wan will report next month. You will be responsible for receiving him then."
She was surprised and frowned: "So fast?"
Only then did the two of them feel like a couple. Huo Qichen raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "Did I embarrass you?"
Jian Mo glared at him and said, "Of course not. I will definitely give Mr. Huo's family a good reception."
After saying that, she turned around and left without any reluctance. She didn't notice the playful smile that Huo Qichen brought out, which was a feeling of helplessness and doting.
