Chapter 83 Only Five Percent of Feeling
After getting on the elevated road, the car drove very fast and they returned to the north of the city.
"Miss Jian, do you remember I said you were Bao Si?" Zhou Liangqi said straight to the point, "Are you interested in working for me? My price won't be lower than Huo Qichen's."
Jian Mo continued to laugh: "Boss Zhou wants me to take two salaries, but unfortunately I don't have enough ability and energy to do both."
If she really dared to betray Huo Qi Chen, he would have to kill her.
"Don't be so quick to refuse. Maybe you think Huo Qichen is very charming and makes you infatuated at the moment, but you will soon realize that he is a very cold man. He is smart and conceited. No one can get close to his heart."
Zhou Liangqi spoke quickly but moved gently as he put all the albums back into her bag.
"Mr. Zhou knows Mr. Huo very well?"
"After so many years of confrontation, naturally."
"As you said, I am so important to Mr. Huo, but why should I believe that Mr. Zhou has already done a background check on me? I come from an ordinary family, have ordinary looks, and ordinary resources. There is no reason for him to be interested in me." What Jian Mo said was the truth.
"In this world, men who have achieved a certain level of success don't care about the value of their women. Huo Qichen is such a man." Zhou Liangqi leaned closer to Jian Mo, very ambiguous, "Miss Jian, you don't have to belittle yourself."
Jian Mo's body stiffened even more, and she asked in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Since you know so much, can you tell me if Mr. Huo has ever had a woman before?"
"Yes." Zhou Liangqi said quickly.
Jian Mo raised an eyebrow, "I'm not talking about a female companion."
Again, "Yes, I have."
Huo Qi Chen had a woman before. That’s right, how could a successful man not have had any feelings over the years?
Jian Mo's smile dimmed for a moment. "Since that happened before, it's even more impossible for me to succeed. Cold-hearted people don't take feelings too seriously."
"My requirements are not high." Zhou Liangqi leaned close to her ear and flirted slightly, "Five points is enough. As long as Huo Qichen has five points of feelings for you, I can accomplish my task."
Jian Mo's breathing stopped and she didn't answer for a moment.
The car has come to a steady stop.
Zhou Liangqi sat back in his seat and opened the car door for her again, smiling charmingly, "I don't know where you live now, so I have no choice but to send you back to Huo's."
Jian Mo quickly put away her bag and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your thoughtfulness."
"I'm waiting for you to drink my glass of wine anytime."
The woman's back stiffened at the words Zhou Liangqi uttered.
It was already nightfall, and most of the company staff had already left. The security guard saw Jian Mo and asked enthusiastically, "Why are you back to work overtime so late?"
Jian Mo smiled bitterly, "Yeah, it's not easy to be a social animal."
But after standing in the elevator for a long time, hesitating, her fingertips finally stopped on the highest floor button.
Zhou Liangqi's words lingered in her mind, making her feel upset and want to take a gamble.
The bet was successful. There was no one on the top floor, only the light in Huo Qichen's office was still on.
She walked in. Only the wall lamp was on and the atmosphere was dim. Huo Qichen stood tall and graceful in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, a cigarette lit between his fingertips. He looked at the dazzling night view outside, wondering what he was thinking about.
Huo Qichen has an extremely flamboyant and heroic temperament, but for some reason, it was forcibly suppressed, leaving only darkness and wildness, and he has a great possessiveness for everything.
But at this moment, his aura from behind was not strong, as if he would only allow himself to be lonely in a corner where no one was around.
Jian Mo's heart tightened.
"who?"
Huo Qichen's sharp voice followed, a little hoarse.
Jian Mo had no choice but to walk out of the darkness and gradually emerge into the light. "Is Mr. Huo always this vigilant?"
She had a canvas bag hanging over her shoulder and was wearing her work clothes, making her look completely out of place in this precious land.
When Huo Qichen saw that it was her, he restrained his expression and asked, "You didn't go back to Mingyuan, what are you doing up here?"
Jian Mo put down her bag, smiled and approached him, her fingertips resting on his furrowed brows. "I was about to leave, but when I looked up and saw the lights on the top floor were still on, I came up to wait for Mr. Huo to go home together."
Huo Qichen's brows did not relax, and he grabbed her dishonest hand, "Now you are not afraid of being discovered."
Jian Mo shook her head. "I just suddenly felt that having an affair with the leader was quite exciting. What do you think, Mr. Huo?"
When she said this, she deliberately pressed her body close to him. The distance between them was very close. Huo Qi Chen smelled the scent on her body and narrowed his eyes.
"You're still not smart enough. Whenever you deliberately seduce me, you always like to call me Mr. Huo." Huo Qichen pushed her away slightly, a hint of contempt in his eyes. "Awkward flirting can't arouse a man's desire."
Jian Mo hadn't intended to arouse his desire. In the bright lights outside, she tilted her head and smiled, "I think Mr. Huo quite likes me. Otherwise, why would he let me take on the Jinxiu City project?"
She made her point clear, and Huo Qichen glanced at her indifferently, admiring a green-glazed bottle on the bookshelf. It was a product of more than 500 years ago, priceless and exquisite in appearance.
"No one in the design department is more suitable for this position than you. You shouldn't be so ungrateful."
Jian Mo choked when she heard this. No wonder Huo Qichen didn't have many friends. With such a sharp tongue, who would want to get close to him?
"Is it really because it's suitable?" Jian Mo stood behind him, finding it increasingly difficult to understand him. "On the surface, it was understandable for me to save Jian Zhou. I think all the parties involved wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it when they think about it now. But what about you, Mr. Huo? You set up a scheme, and we were all pawns in it. Right?"
Huo Qichen finally turned around and looked at her calmly, "I don't understand."
Jian Mo smiled, "It's rare that there are words in this world that Mr. Huo can't understand."
She looked like a hedgehog, fully on guard and deliberately distant.
"The Zhou and Huo families have been enemies for a long time, and Zhou Liangqi and you are even more at odds. He tried every possible way to find your weakness. He was in Jiangcheng, but he set a trap in Haicheng, using me to test you. You fell into his trap, and the price you paid was my reputation being ruined."
Jian Mo stated calmly, "So you gave me the Jinxiu City project as compensation. I have to say, Mr. Huo is actually very humane."
Huo Qi Chen understood this time. He finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, and the cigarette butt that burned his fingertips was thrown into the trash can.
"Businessmen don't work without profit. So what do I get from what you said?"
"You used this opportunity to get close to Li Wanli, learned Wan Jing's superiors, and suppressed Zhou Liangqi more specifically."
Huo Qichen smiled and said, "You have met Zhou Liangqi."
Declarative sentences, not interrogative sentences.
Jian Mo felt guilty, "It's been so long since the incident happened, and I was just guessing."
Huo Qichen directly pointed out, "You smell like Romanee-Conti. This kind of wine is only available in Haicheng, Zhou Liangqi."
Jian Mo didn't expect to be exposed to the red wine, but she didn't even touch it at that time. Is his nose so sensitive?
