Chapter 218: Standing Up for Her
This is a reminder for her not to cross the line.
Jian Mo understood everything, but she pretended not to understand. She let the sleepiness take over and closed her eyes to fall asleep.
The Huo family's recent situation is not very good. When the gods above are fighting, the people below will suffer. There is no room for retreat.
So Huo Qichen, as the executor, also had a headache.
This is the troublesome thing about the industry. If something big happens, you will be the first to bear the brunt of the consequences.
Just last night at 7:30 pm, the domestic news ended and it was exactly 7:30 am abroad. After two hours of fermentation, by the time the stock market opened at 9:30 pm, both domestic and foreign stocks had fallen a lot, by an unimaginable percentage.
This is a huge shock and cannot be avoided.
So all the media came to the door, some exaggerated the situation, while others were anxiously waiting.
Huo Qi Chen had a media conference last night, but because of a phone call from Jian Mo, he turned them all down and went to pick her up in person.
Friends from the media waited stubbornly in the conference room all night.
In the corner, sat a petite woman with a calm face. Wen Yuan was wearing a work uniform and had a laptop in front of her. Like her colleagues, she was typing quickly on the keyboard to convey messages to the outside world.
Wen Yuan had been up all night and was inevitably a little tired. As she rested her brows, someone came over and said, "I don't know what important matter Huo Qichen is dealing with. He even stood up so many people."
Wen Yuan just smiled after hearing this. Not to mention these people, in fact, he was too lazy to care about many things. Even if such a big turmoil broke out in the business world, he probably wouldn't care much.
At hand were water and meals thoughtfully delivered by Huo's people. They were very sincere and I was very sorry.
But their boss might not think so.
As she was thinking, there was a commotion in front of her, "Boss Huo is here!"
She looked up.
The man was surprisingly handsome, his long legs casually draped in black trousers. His expression seemed gentle but indifferent. He felt apologetic and nodded slightly. "Everyone, please be patient. The media briefing will begin shortly."
The style remains unchanged.
The questions were about the trade war and Huo's attitude. Huo Qichen's answers were flawless and sounded official no matter how you listened to them.
Until the assistant beside him immediately pointed to someone, "Vanke, Wen Yuan."
Huo Qichen didn't react. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the girl in the last row stand up swiftly. Her voice was soft and gloomy. "Mr. Huo, if foreign capital were to take compulsory measures against Huo's company and withdraw their technical support, how would you respond?"
Huo Qichen's gaze seemed a little distant, and something seemed to flash across his eyes, but his expression remained unchanged. He replied calmly, "We at the Huo family are not short of talent."
This was truly a confident response, demonstrating that the Huo family wasn't afraid no matter what the other party did. This resolute response reassured many people.
Otherwise, the monkeys will scatter when the tree falls, and the Huo family will be finished, and they will be finished too.
The media conference ended and a group of people escorted Huo Qichen away. This should have been the normal procedure.
In the evening, Huo Qi Chen left Huo's company. Outside the building, a girl with a shoulder bag stopped his car.
Mo Yi braked suddenly, turned around and asked Huo Qichen: "This..."
Huo Qichen was resting with his eyes closed. He didn't even open his eyes when he heard this. "Let her come up."
Wen Yuan quickly got into the car from the back seat with a bright smile, "Brother Huo, I knew you would take this path."
"Why don't you go home with the driver?" Huo Qi Chen still didn't open his eyes.
"I'm just an employee now, how can I have a driver?" Wen Yuan pulled out a document from her bag. "It's a research document on foreign investment. I think you might be very interested."
The next day after getting drunk, Jian Mo received a call from Xiao Chen. There was silence on the other end for a long time, "What's going on?"
Jian Mo didn't lose her memory. She vaguely remembered everything that happened. After she got drunk, Huo Qichen seemed to come to pick her up...
I also ran into Xiao Chen...
He took her away directly...
Jian Mo's scalp tingled, and she struggled to find the right words. "Uh... Is there a possibility that he is a distant relative of mine?"
Xiao Chen sneered, "Will your distant relatives give you a princess hug?"
The voice was so loud that Jian Mo instinctively put the phone away. She was scolded by the other party: "I never dreamed that the husband with a physical disability who can't show his face to the public is Huo Qichen! Oh my God, Jian Mo, you are really good. You actually lied to me for so long!"
Jian Mo endured it silently, nodding and bowing on the other end of the phone, "Don't be angry, there are reasons why I have to hide it, and I don't want to do that either."
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, "When did this happen, Jian Mo? I know you are brave, but I didn't expect you to be so brave that you were actually with Huo Qichen. No, no, the more important thing is, how did you do it?"
Jian Mo bit her lip and said, "Sometimes, you need a lucky person, and I happen to be lucky."
Xiao Chen was silent for a long time, then said, "I remember everything now. It turns out those photos taken by the media were all of you. I was wondering why they looked so much like you. It's not like you, it's definitely you!"
"What's your current situation? Are you in a relationship?"
"..." Jian Mo knew that she couldn't hide it any longer. If she continued like this, she might as well just say, "We're getting married."
“…”
There was a long silence.
“…6.”
"Are you okay?" Jian Mo asked cautiously.
"My friend turned out to be my boss's wife. 6. The TV plot happened right next to me."
"That's not the case, because it might not be the case soon," she said truthfully.
Xiao Chen didn't believe it. "Don't bullshit. I saw how Mr. Huo treated you yesterday. His eyes were glued to you. He wanted to kill everyone who touched you. That was the scene."
Jian Mo paused, "Besides you, did anyone else see it yesterday?"
"Brother Bin, but he shouldn't say anything nonsense, right? Mr. Huo's secretary has already warned him." Xiao Chen thought again, "It turns out that the people in the secretary's office also knew about it a long time ago."
"No, if that's the case, then why did you resign from the design department? To avoid suspicion?"
Jian Mo couldn't tell her that it was Huo Qichen's punishment for her. "It's a long story. I'll tell you when I have the chance."
"So where are you now?"
Jian Mo had just washed up when the servant brought her some hangover soup and casually mentioned, "There's ginseng in it. The old man sent it over a couple of days ago and specifically told me to give it to you to nourish your body."
Jian Mo nodded.
It has been a while since she last visited her grandfather. She was busy and tedious with work, and her relationship with Huo Qichen was neither good nor bad. For a moment, she didn't know how to face him in what capacity.
I'm sorry for the old man.
Before she finished her call with Xiao Chen, Jian Mo suddenly received a message. It was a few censored photos, but it was clear that they were photos of Huo Qichen carrying a drunken her into a car. The angles were tricky, and they looked extremely intimate.
The point is, she didn't show her face in these photos.
The other party said: If you don’t want it to be leaked, give me money.
Jian Mo's heart sank, and he lowered his head to reply, "How much do you want?"
