Chapter 64 If you don’t want to die, go ahead!
"Mr. Huo is my boss. I don't dare to have any ambitions."
Zhou Liangqi poured another glass of wine, turned to her, and pointed at the shadowy figure at the door. "Some people dare to think about it, but they haven't achieved it after so many years. In comparison, I am more optimistic about you."
A woman stood at the door and handed Huo Qichen a document. He looked at it for a few seconds and signed it quickly.
That woman is Mu Yi.
"Mr. Zhou, you're so kind." Jian Mo stared at the wine, gritted her teeth and drank it all. Red overflowed from the corners of her mouth, which was very sexy.
She can't hold her liquor well, and if she keeps drinking like this she won't last long.
Just as Zhou Liangqi was pouring his third glass of wine, Huo Qichen returned. He took long strides and spoke indifferently, "Liangqi has a very good impression of this employee of mine." Finally, he looked at Jian Mo and said, "Boss Zhou is very kind to women and doesn't easily force them to drink. He's particularly interested today because he admires you."
Jian Mo continued: "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
"My special assistant just told me that he saw you at the Southeast Reservoir last week. I didn't expect that your fishing skills have improved recently." Huo Qi Chen took a cigarette from the cigarette box but didn't rush to light it.
Zhou Liangqi leaned back, completely fearless, "For this project, I have to join in the fun."
"Oh? I heard that Zhou's current cash flow doesn't support the acquisition of Wanjing. You may not win."
"How can Qi Chen conclude that the Huo family can afford to pay off the hundreds of millions of debts that Wan Jing is currently carrying without seeing the outcome?"
The lighter clicked, lighting the cigarette butt, and Huo Qichen said loudly, "More than enough."
Jian Mo was watching from the sidelines, and couldn't help but admire what she heard. She had to admit, the domineering aura that this man inadvertently revealed was unmatched, not even the up-and-coming Zhou Liangqi could compare to him.
After a brief silence, Zhou Liangqi picked up his coat and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he asked, "Qi Chen, when do you plan to get married?"
Huo Qichen paused with the cigarette between his fingers, "Before I can start a family, I need a girlfriend. I'm not as lucky as Liang Qi, who has so many romantic partners around me."
Hearing this, Zhou Liangqi glanced at Jian Mo meaningfully, "I think the one next to you is pretty good."
After saying this, he strode out of the box, and everything ended there.
Jian Mo closed her eyes, nearly fainting. She walked over and closed the door of the private room, then said to the smoking man, "He was just threatening you to give up the acquisition of Wanjing by using Cheng Jia. Did he know about our marriage?"
The implication of tonight's words is already very clear.
Huo Qichen raised the corner of his eye, "What do you think?"
Jian Mo clenched her hands tightly, sweating profusely. "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would have such a bad impact. I didn't expect that the person in the box was Mr. Zhou from Zhou Corporation."
After a long while, Huo Qi Chen didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something.
"If I hadn't brought you in just now, you would have been taken away by Zhou Liangqi's men tonight." His voice was deep, and carried a hint of anger.
Jian Mo thought about the consequences of eavesdropping on business secrets. But she didn't want to hear it either. Who knew the sound insulation here was so poor?
Things had come to this point. She could only compromise and say, "Next time I'll curb my curiosity."
"There won't be a next time," Huo Qichen put out his cigarette and approached Jian Mo. "In order to save your life, I gave away a secret to Zhou Liangqi. How are you going to compensate me?"
Jian Mo was stunned and gave a cunning smile: "...How about I go talk to Mr. Zhou and try to change his mind?"
"If you don't want to die, then go!" he said in a deep voice.
Jian Mo threw her hands in disarray, "Anyway, anyone who knows you will more or less guess our relationship when they see me. Mr. Huo, it seems there's no point in hiding it."
Many things became clear after learning the truth, including why his friend Liang Qiu had been so amused when he saw her a while ago, and why Zhou Liangqi had been so clever in guessing her identity. It was all because of this face that looked so similar to Xiao Xiao.
Huo Qichen poked his cheek with the tip of his tongue, dissatisfied with her backtalk, and then sneered: "Jian Mo, what are you throwing a tantrum about?"
Jian Mo picked up her bag, a little drunk: "I'm not throwing a tantrum, I'm just stating the facts."
When she pushed open the door of the box, she found Mu Yi still standing at the door. The look in her eyes when she looked at her was not really friendly.
Jian Mo didn't care anymore and walked out in her high heels. Her figure was stumbling but she looked swaying.
"Mr. Huo, Miss Jian is drunk. It's not safe for her to go back alone. Let me take her there." Mu Yi turned her head and peeked at the man's face that was flickering.
Huo Qichen's reply was very stiff, and he seemed to be angry. "No need."
Mu Yi froze. She hadn't expected to be rejected. The commotion inside had clearly been less than harmonious, and Huo Qichen was actually protecting that woman! She gritted her teeth and ultimately gave in.
Jian Mo was too drunk and staggered out of the restaurant under the gaze of a group of men, holding onto a tree by the roadside and vomiting.
She felt ashamed. After growing up in Haicheng, she didn't have a trustworthy friend, a friend who could pick her up when she was drunk and frustrated. How embarrassing.
Several men came up and wanted to chat her up, but they were all driven away by Jian Mo waving her bag. She took out her cell phone and wanted to call a taxi, but the traffic was congested and she was ranked 99th in line.
At this time, a Rolls-Royce glided smoothly in front of Jian Mo, and the door opened automatically. Huo Qichen's profile was not friendly, "Get in."
Jian Mo wanted to be stubborn, but her remaining rationality told her that if she didn't leave, she might have to wait here until the early morning.
As soon as we got in the car, the driver wisely raised the tailgate.
Huo Qi Chen had no expression on his face. He opened the small refrigerator in the car, took out a bottle of ice water, unscrewed the cap and placed it next to Jian Mo's lips, his movements smooth and flowing.
Jian Mo stiffened her neck for a long time, then turned her head to the side and said, "I'm not thirsty."
The arm stretched across the air was powerful. The next second, her cheeks were pinched forcibly, forcing her to look up. "Hmm..."
Huo Qichen's face looked dangerous in the darkness. He narrowed his eyes and said, "I gave you face, didn't I, Jian Mo?"
Jian Mo was not used to such a strong and extroverted man. She suppressed her fear and said nothing.
He increased the strength of his hands and forced the ice water into her mouth. The water flowed everywhere. Jian Mo coughed violently and her teeth were almost frozen off.
She began to struggle desperately, even throwing her bag at Huo Qichen, "Don't touch me!"
Huo Qichen's bare arm was hit by her bag, leaving a red mark. He did not loosen his grip on her. He put two fingers into her mouth and clamped it completely.
"You ruined such a big event for me tonight and you still dared to turn your back on me. I told you to know your place and know when to stop, but you just ignored it, didn't you?" Huo Qichen lowered his voice at the end of his words, and he was so angry that he wanted to strangle her to death.
Jian Mo would never have done such irrational behavior, but perhaps it was because of the alcohol, the grievances she had been holding back for so many days burst out at once, and she still didn't say a word and didn't give in.
The air became thinner and thinner, Jian Mo's face flushed red, and she was almost strangled to death. After a long time, Huo Qichen suddenly let go of her, took out a wet tissue and wiped his fingers one by one.
"If it happens again, I will personally send you to Zhou Liangqi."
