Chapter 207 You Have Some Means
This statement was not meant kindly. Huo Wan gave an awkward gentleman's smile and said, "My sister-in-law is so kind that she's willing to accompany me."
"She is righteous." Wen Yuan glanced at Jian Mo, and it was hard to tell what the look was. "I am not righteous. The old man has been waiting for you for a long time."
When this was mentioned, Huo Wan hurried forward, "How can I let my uncle wait for me? Let's go in quickly."
Wen Yuan and Jian Mo looked at each other and replied, "Let's go."
As they entered the private room, the woman walked behind them. Wen Yuan lowered her voice and asked, "Did you ask Liang Qi to embezzle that billion?"
Jian Mo frowned, unable to refuse, "It counts as such."
Wen Yuan looked at her with a very strange look, as if she was surprised. "I can't bear to see him get into trouble. Please don't involve him in this."
Jian Mo was also surprised, "Miss Wen is just as kind to those she doesn't love."
She suddenly understood why Zhou Liangqi had been obsessed with Wen Yuan for so many years. It was probably because he was playing hard to get.
Wen Yuan snorted meaningfully.
Her father Wen Jing had an appointment at Wenhua today, so Huo Wan found this opportunity at the last minute and only had twenty minutes to chat.
Wen Yuan pushed open the door and said in a sweet voice, "Father, Huo Wan is here."
Jian Mo followed behind Huo Wan, raised his head in the dim light and shadow, and looked through the crowd towards the main seat. There sat a graceful and steady middle-aged man. Although he looked old, his temperament alone showed how much experience he had.
There was a smile on his lips, but his eyes were assessing her, with a shrewd look in his kindness.
Wen Jing glanced at Huo Wan twice, and soon his eyes fell on Jian Mo behind him, his face looking a little unhappy.
Jian Mo frowned as if she had received an electric shock. She was sure that she had never seen Wen Jing before, but for some reason, she felt that he looked very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
"Uncle, these are some small gifts from my junior. Thank you for giving me the opportunity." Huo Wan had already stepped forward to greet him. He had always been good at interpersonal communication.
Wen Jing exchanged a few polite words with him, and the rest of the time, he was talking softly to his daughter who was leaning against him, and he seemed to love Wen Yuan very much.
"I know you, Huo Qichen's cousin. You look quite young."
“Yes, I just graduated this year.”
"Xiaoyuan told me that you wanted to discuss the project?"
Huo Wan gestured for Jian Mo to hand over the information. "This is one of the projects we've been tracking recently. It has great development prospects. Due diligence has been completed. It will definitely be a leader in the unmanned supermarket market."
Wen Jing flipped through the documents, not knowing how much he had read before his index finger suddenly paused. "There seems to be a very popular merger and acquisition case recently, and this name also appears to be involved. Jian Mo?"
Jian Mo, who had been standing by and listening, immediately looked up and forced a smile at Wen Jing, "I am Jian Mo, President Wen."
She couldn't just say that, yes, it was she who messed up the project.
He squinted his eyes in the light and examined her. "Not bad."
She smiled and said, "I don't deserve it."
"To make Zhou pay 1 billion, there must be some means."
Jian Mo's smile suddenly stopped. It seemed that the entire upper class circle of Haicheng knew that she had messed up a big project and caused Zhou Liangqi to lose 10 billion.
Wen Yuan laughed out loud. "Father, I've researched Huo Wan's project. They've recently developed a new technology. If successful, they could capture 90% of the market share. I think it's worth investing in."
Wen Jing closed the document and gently threw it on the table. He said with great confidence, "If you are not 100% sure of the project, you don't need to show it to me. Please leave."
Wen Yuan's expression changed, and she exchanged a glance with Huo Wan, who immediately stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wen, the technical research and development of this project has reached an advanced stage. Once it passes the tests, it will definitely become a leader in the industry."
Wen Jing spread his hands. "Even if I believe you, you haven't gotten any clear results yet. How can you dare to hand it to me with such confidence?"
Huo Wan looked troubled, and Wen Yuan immediately responded, "Father!"
Wen Jing sighed and softened his tone, "I've heard of your abilities. You're a rare talent, but you're too young and lack the prudentness to handle many things. You need to learn from your brother in this regard."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Huo Wan's face darken, but even Jian Mo's heart skipped a beat. In such a situation, anyone who made such a comparison would be unhappy.
"Uncle Wen is right. I've learned my lesson. I'll revise this plan when I get back. I hope we'll have a chance to meet again next time."
Huo Wan is respectable and patient.
Wen Jing nodded in satisfaction, and as he stood up to leave, he added, "Give my regards to your father."
Huo Wan nodded.
Wen Yuan followed Wen Jing to another private room, which was where he was going to hold his social event.
Huo Wan slumped down on the sofa, feeling defeated. He smiled bitterly, "Sister-in-law, am I really never going to be able to compare to my eldest brother?"
"Of course not. Wen Jing is right. You are still young and haven't encountered many things. Once you experience what your elder brother has experienced, you will become the same as him." Jian Mo comforted her caringly.
In fact, as early as the first time they met, Jian Mo had a bad impression of him. She always felt that he was a polite but scheming young master. Now it seems that he is actually full of innocent heart. In contrast, Huo Qichen is not upright enough.
"Don't be discouraged, I'm going to the bathroom."
Jian Mo walked out of the private room and indeed went to the bathroom. She put on some lipstick. During this time, a figure appeared behind her. It was Wen Yuan. "Tell Huo Wan to forget about this matter. Let him go home and be a young master."
Her appearance is not actually stunning, and she looks like a good girl at first glance, but the temperament of a young lady she has maintained for so many years makes her look very noble.
"Excuse me, if that's the case, why doesn't Miss Wen just stay content and be the eldest lady?"
Wen Yuan stared at her. "I am the only heir of the Wen family. I can't do it even if I want to, but Huo Wan is not like that."
The habit of looking down on others is really annoying.
Jian Mo closed her lipstick, but Wen Yuan stopped her, "Aren't you going to try hard? One billion is not a small amount."
Jian Mo stopped and said, "Miss Wen is planning to help me."
"Of course, we are allies, aren't we?"
Wen Yuan handed her the gift bag and said, "There's a set of clothes in it. Change into them and go find my father."
Jian Mo didn't answer, "Why?"
"Your face looks quite like an old friend." Wen Yuan looked at him with a meaningful look, "But you definitely can't go there wearing this outfit."
It wasn't any revealing clothes, but a light green long skirt. When she wore it, she looked like the girl next door, pure and gentle, which was just right for Jian Mo.
Jian Mo was a little nervous. She didn't know whether she should believe Wen Yuan's words, but things had come to this point and it was the only way out. It was impossible to rely on Huo Qi Chen.
She took the plate from the waiter, pushed open the door of the box and walked in. It was not as colorful and decadent as she had imagined. The air was full of the smell of cigarettes and alcohol. The big guys sitting at the card table talking about things were full of aura and turned around when they heard the voice.
