Chapter 89 The People He Trained
Jian Mo shuddered. In her mind, there was a barrier between officials and businessmen. She could never have imagined that Huo Qichen had the ability to shake such a powerful position.
"So you're not actually going there to give a gift, but to..." give a difficult gift. "Zhao Qian likes you. If he knew, he would hate you."
Huo Qichen got in the car, and Mu Yi followed. He lowered his eyes, picked up the coat he had put aside earlier, and threw it on her legs. The latter was surprised and delighted.
"I can only guarantee that if something happens, his life won't be too difficult." Huo Qichen switched hands to hold the phone. "Are you still not sleeping?"
After talking to him, Jian Mo suddenly felt that what happened tomorrow was not a big deal, so she naturally felt less nervous. "Let's go to sleep now. Um, Huo Qichen..."
The man waited for a moment before she continued, "Be careful."
After he finished speaking, the phone was hung up immediately. Huo Qichen listened to the beeping sound from the other end, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Mu Yi stared at his smile and subconsciously guessed who was on the other end of the phone, Jian Mo?
"Where are the people?"
"Mrs. Zhao has been waiting for a long time." Mu Yi replied quickly.
"Please ask her to come up."
The car door opened, and a woman with delicate makeup got in. The first thing she saw was the coat covering Mu Yi's legs. She smiled at the man who was resting with his eyes closed, "Boss Huo is really good to his assistant."
Mu Yi clutched his coat tightly and said coldly, "If you have something to say, just say it."
The woman spoke in a worldly manner, somewhat influenced by her occupational illness. "In this situation, I'm not sure I can handle it on my own. If Mr. Huo can protect me, I will do my best for you."
Huo Qi Chen never opened his eyes. When he smelled the perfume on her body, he frowned slightly.
Mu Yi's tone was not good, "I have trained you for so long, and you want to bite me back?"
"Assistant Mu, keep your mouth clean."
“…”
"Why are you protecting me?"
The man's voice was cold, like snow in winter, penetrating into one's bones.
Mrs. Zhao stared at his peerless face, one hand crawling up his leg like a water snake. "I have a list of people who have abused their power for personal gain over the years, and Li Wanli is one of them. I wonder if this is enough to impress Mr. Huo."
Mu Yi stared at her hand intently.
Huo Qichen still didn't open his eyes. He used his legs to push her hand away and asked, "Where's the list?"
Mrs. Zhao's palms trembled. She had been wandering the martial arts world for so many years, but she had never been able to take down this man. "How can you bring something like that out casually? Here's part of the video, Mr. Huo, take a look?"
He still didn't move. Mu Yi understood and took it. After looking at it for a few seconds, she said, "Mr. Huo, it's true."
Huo Qi Chen slowly raised his eyelids and finally looked directly at Mrs. Zhao. She had dressed up specially today, wearing a tight cheongsam that revealed her cleavage. He only took a glance and then looked away.
"what would you like?"
"Twenty million, and freedom."
"I'll give you another 10 million. Go and report it with your real name. After the matter is done, I will ensure that you withdraw." Huo Qichen's tone is always dull, but it carries a lot of weight.
Mrs. Zhao was shaken by the numbers. "How do I know if you will protect me when the time comes?"
Mu Yi then said, "Think about it with your pig brain. If we don't protect you, what if you turn against the Huo family?"
Hearing this, she finally reacted, "But... Zhao Weishi has been alert recently and won't let me into the study."
"What if I make a move and get discovered? He's ruthless and I've been beaten up a lot. If he's determined to kill me, I'll be either dead or half-crippled."
Zhao Weishi has always been authoritative, including in matters concerning men, but that didn't work for her, so she liked to find stimulation elsewhere. She had suffered a lot to get to the top over the years, and it wasn't easy for her to survive.
It's almost late autumn, and the weather outside is unpredictable. Tomorrow should be fine weather. Huo Qichen propped up his forehead with one hand and tapped his other hand nonchalantly. "In the next two days, a new person will take your place, and you will step down."
Mrs. Zhao was very happy to hear this, "Really?"
Huo Qichen finally looked her straight in the eye. "Your son is still in Jiangcheng. Weigh your priorities carefully and don't do anything you shouldn't do."
Mrs. Zhao's smile suddenly stopped, and she became more afraid of this man.
"Back then, I was the one who knelt in front of Mr. Huo to ask for a way out. I understand this logic." People in their line of work are bound to be trapped by people with high means. She is one of them. She doesn't even know whose child it is when she gets pregnant. She has no business to do and is really desperate.
Huo Qichen gave her a job and took her child, only then did he feel at ease to place her next to the top leader as a potential chess piece to ensure that she would not betray him.
Mrs. Zhao got out of the car, and the driver started the engine. Huo Qichen lit a cigarette and said to Mu Yi beside him, "My assistant doesn't need to be too beautiful. Don't wear such clothes to work in the future."
Mu Yi opened her mouth in embarrassment. It turned out that this coat was not for her consideration, but because he didn't want to see it.
"I understand, President Huo." Her eyes were filled with embarrassment and grievance.
The next morning, Jian Mo woke up early and gave her father a body massage, muttering, "Dad, I have a meeting today. It's very, very important. I hope it goes through smoothly. Please bless me. I'll come back to see you after I finish."
When Xu Ming came to check on the ward, he saw Jian Mo hurriedly packing up her things. He glanced at the time and said, "It's still early, why are you in such a hurry?
"Brother Ming, I have a meeting today. I have to go there early just in case." After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
Xiao Liu was already waiting downstairs. Jian Mo got in the car and said, "Brother Liu, please drive as steadily as possible. I need to put on my makeup."
Xiao Liu was surprised: "Can I put on makeup in this car?"
"You don't understand, this is a necessary skill for every working woman."
Jian Mo said coquettishly, and then put on some delicate and neat makeup, which was very suitable for the meeting.
However, there was no need to deliberately drive the car steadily, as it was very stable because there was a traffic jam.
Jian Mo was extremely anxious. "Why is there a traffic jam? I never see this kind of traffic jam when I take this road normally."
Xiao Liu went to the front to find out more. After that, he came back and said, "Madam, there's a car accident up ahead. The traffic police are handling it."
"Is it serious?" Jian Mo felt a little uneasy, as this place was still some distance away from the Huo family.
"I saw blood on the ground."
A traffic accident involving blood cannot be handled quickly. Jian Mo sat in the car and waited for a while, looking at the time anxiously.
It was almost time, and not to mention that she hadn't prepared properly, if she was late in public today, she would be really finished.
Jian Mo thought about it and put on her bag. "Well, I'll ride the shared bike over there. Brother Liu, you don't have to worry about me."
Xiao Liu wanted to catch up, but he couldn't just leave the car there. A voice followed him from behind, "Madam, how am I going to report this to you? Be careful!"
