Chapter 250 Six Hundred Million
Huo Qichen's meeting lasted quite a long time.
The other party took the initiative to propose to discuss matters in Zhou Liangqi's territory because he saw it as a good place for enjoyment.
After a few bottles of fine wine, they all looked a little shaky. Huo Qichen held the wine glass in one hand. When he raised his eyes, his romantic attitude had faded and he was now full of calculations. "Boss Huang, the Wanjing project has reached the completion stage. Tell me, who told you that there were major flaws in the project?"
After several hours of socializing, the most crucial issue finally came up. Mr. Huang could no longer sit still and raised his hand to ask someone to bring a pot of good tea.
"Boss Huo, your words make it sound like the news is real. Could it be true?"
Huo Qichen casually threw down his wine glass and said, "Even if another half month passes, nothing will happen to Wanjing." The firmness and confidence in his tone were unmatched.
"If there really weren't any problems, President Huo wouldn't have had to sit here with me for half an hour." President Huang's face was flushed from drinking. "Six hundred million in subsidies flowed into the Huo family's account. If anything happens to Wanjing, the Huo family will be in trouble. If they fuel the fire and expose some of the Huo family's old flaws, it will be a big problem."
He stared at Huo Qichen's face and saw him narrow his eyes.
"I said, nothing will happen to Wan Jing."
"Heh..." Seeing Huo Qichen's continued attack, the other party lost his patience and directly revealed his cards, "The central pillar of the South City Business District has problems with the materials. It is at risk of collapse at any time. The longer this matter is concealed, the more likely it is that someone will die."
Seeing Huo Qichen's expression change a little, he continued, "Don't you think Mr. Huo doesn't know?"
Huo Qi Chen remained calm. He called Secretary Huo in and whispered a few words in his ear. Secretary Huo's face changed and he hurried out.
"It's strange, I don't know how Mr. Huang knew about it." The man lit a cigarette, looking very flustered.
Mr. Huang was very satisfied with this. "As the Huo family's sworn enemy, he must have some special intelligence, right?"
Huo Qichen took a deep puff of his cigarette and asked, "What do you want?"
"Not much, just 600 million."
The lion opened his mouth loudly. Huo Qichen listened and raised his eyes. Then his expression became unclear. He smiled and repeated, "Six hundred million?"
"Mr. Huo is reluctant? If something goes wrong, it will cost more than 600 million to deal with it."
Huo Qi Chen seemed to be thinking. He slowly finished his cigarette before Secretary Huo came back from outside.
"I asked the contractor for the project and they confirmed it was true. It's not just the center pillar, the side pillars have problems too."
"Is it reliable?" His tone became sharp.
"As soon as I said the first sentence, they confessed and burst into tears on the other end of the phone."
Huo Qichen understood. He picked up his glass again, filled it with the remaining wine in the bottle, and toasted to Mr. Huang with a smile, "I really can't bear to spend 600 million to buy intelligence."
"What does Mr. Huo want?"
"That's certainly a solution. If Mr. Huang can offer me some advice, I'll happily pay the six hundred million."
The other person's eyes gleamed, and he slammed his thigh. "People say Mr. Huo has a clear mind and is a rare talent. But after meeting him today, it seems he's not as good as me, Huang!"
The more he spoke, the louder his laughter became, full of smugness.
When he saw Huo Qichen, he found that he was indeed good-looking and had a strong aura. He knew how to advance and retreat, but it seemed that his ability to deal with difficult problems was just so-so!
Huo Qichen smiled faintly, and it was hard to tell what his expression was.
Mr. Huang suddenly put down his glass and pointed a finger upwards, "I have a way to keep this a secret for you."
"Which way?"
The other person looked speechless.
Huo Qichen restrained his smile and said, "I won't do anything illegal. Zhou Liangqi has fallen into this trap many times. Mr. Huang, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Mr. Huang was extremely unhappy and rolled his eyes. "Mr. Huo, in the business world, you have to use some tricks. Don't tell me you haven't used them before."
Huo Qichen simply put down his wine glass, picked up the teacup beside him, and sniffed it. "How on earth could such a huge engineering flaw be concealed?"
Mr. Huang was in a dilemma when the door to the private room was pushed open. A voice arrived before anyone could see him. "Today, two important people are in my castle in the air to discuss matters. I am late for not caring enough."
Huo Qichen raised his eyes and saw Zhou Liangqi, wearing a white suit and looking very elegant, walking in with a smile.
There was a female figure following behind him. It was Wen Su, the assistant he had met twice. She was wearing a green cheongsam today, which perfectly outlined her figure and her face was gentle and well-behaved.
Wen Su met Huo Qichen's gaze and subconsciously dodged.
"Mr. Zhou, this alarmed you." Mr. Huang said.
Zhou Liangqi had already found a seat to the side and sat down. He then tasted the tea on the table and said, "This tea is the fault of my subordinates. Someone, please remove it and replace it with another pot."
His eyes fell on Wen Su, "You come and soak."
Wen Su nodded: "Yes."
Her classical attire today perfectly complemented the tea party. Mr. Huang couldn't take his eyes off her. "Tsk, Mr. Zhou is the one who chooses women. With such a lovely woman by his side, the emperor won't have to attend court early anymore."
Zhou Liangqi didn't seem displeased by the vulgar teasing, but lowered his voice and said, "My assistant's tea is truly amazing. Mr. Huang, please enjoy it later."
Huo Qi Chen had already withdrawn his gaze and was playing with the plain ring on his ring finger. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Qi Chen, let me hear you say there's a problem with Wan Jing's project?" Zhou Liangqi leaned over and asked Huo Qi Chen.
Huo Qichen raised his eyelids and said, "Yes, Mr. Huang was teaching me how to do things, and you came in and ruined my plan, Liangqi."
Everyone can understand the yin and yang in this statement.
Zhou Liangqi clapped his hands and smiled, "You should have listened to me and given Wanjing to the Zhou family. Then you wouldn't have to suffer these bad things."
"It was my fault for not thinking it through." Huo Qi Chen continued.
Several people laughed, but it was not from the heart.
"Mr. Huo, just listen to me. I can help you deal with the review from above, so you can rest assured." Mr. Huang was not giving up and advised in front of Zhou Liangqi.
Huo Qichen pondered for a moment, as if his rationality overcame his interest, "It's too risky."
"Being in our line of work is an adventure in itself, isn't it?"
Wen Su brewed the tea and handed it to Huo Qichen in a very proper manner, "Mr. Huo."
The man nodded and took the teacup, his fingers briefly touching hers. She shrank back, seeming very nervous.
"Mr. Huang, do you understand economic law? If you get caught doing this, you'll go to jail." Huo Qichen took a sip and then looked at Zhou Liangqi. "If you don't understand, you can ask Mr. Zhou. He's very proficient in it."
Wen Su saw with his own eyes that Zhou Liangqi's face darkened for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Indeed, my father fell flat on his face because of this. It's better not to take any risks."
