Huo Cailiang raised his hand helplessly to his forehead. He didn't have time to respond to Zhao Mei's teasing. He just kept on talking to Han Ruxue, "You said you were helping me, but every time the project reached your end, problems arose. You said you were working overtime with me, but in fact, I worked overtime until the early hours every day to complete the project, mostly because of the parts you couldn't complete. So I don't know why you can be so confident in yourself."
Han Ruxue's sobs paused, but Huo Cailiang ignored her, leaning against the door as he continued, "You said you were giving up your company, but that company doesn't align with what you're studying. If you went there, you'd have to start from scratch and learn the structure from the bottom up. And you didn't want to suffer, so you went to Yebai. This is something everyone knows. Do you really have to be told everything completely?"
"Not everyone is obligated to play the strong woman game with you, Miss Han. Every time there's a problem with a group project, and you're criticized and asked to improve your abilities, you just cry and apologize, and make the same mistake again next time. In the entire Yebai, only Bai Zhengye will comfort you."
Huo Cailiang paused, then seemed to recall something. His sharp eyes swept over Han Ruxue, "Also, I don't think that the girl who lives across from me, who pursued me three times and moved three times after I clearly rejected her, is my girlfriend. I've never admitted it and have always been single. I don't know when Miss Han misunderstood me, but I think from today on, the misunderstanding is resolved."
After saying this, Han Ruxue tried to defend herself guiltily, but she didn't know where to start. She stood in front of the door, clasping her hands awkwardly, hesitating until finally she could only look at Huo Cailiang with tears in her eyes.
Huo Cailiang ignored Han Ruxue and looked at Zhao Mei: "Go in, Miss Zhao, is the hustle and bustle so good?"
Zhao Mei pulled Qiu Jiahe in and lowered her hat, laughing secretly: "Although, it's a bit pretty."
Huo Cailiang looked at Zhao Mei helplessly, then took her around a corner and into the office, leaving Han Ruxue standing there alone. She became more and more angry, and could only leave with red eyes, dumping her bag.
Huo Cailiang's office is quite large, with a large floor-to-ceiling window on one side. Now at night, you can still see the dazzling lights of the capital's buildings, which embellish the dark sky with colorful lights, making the entire window look like a framed oil painting called "Night View of the Capital".
Zhao Mei stared out the window intently and sighed, "Xiao Huo, the location of your office is really good. It's just a little low. You should try to go to the 51st floor."
Huo Cailiang sat down in his office chair and rubbed his brow. "My dear Miss Zhao, as a busy investment and finance expert, I have to work overtime in a meeting soon. I really don't have the energy to start other topics, so can we get straight to the point?"
Zhao Mei stuck out her tongue, feeling a little guilty: "Okay, okay... Actually... It's nothing serious..."
Seeing the traces of fatigue on Huo Cailiang's handsome face, his eyes became increasingly guilty and he said, "It's just... I plan to open another company."
"Then? What kind of company?"
"Entertainment company..."
"You have another sudden idea?"
"...Isn't it because I saw a talent and I didn't want to bury it? Wasn't that the same thing I did when I helped you?"
Huo Cailiang stared at Zhao Mei for a while, then lowered his eyebrows and shook his head and sighed: "Okay, my workload has doubled again."
Zhao Mei curved her delicate eyebrows and smiled: "Don't worry, I will get Zhao Jing to help you, and I will also recruit a professional agent. Don't worry, I won't make you too tired. After all, my remaining capital is not much and my conscience really hurts."
After talking about the small matters, it was time to discuss some serious matters. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Qiu Jiahe was dismissed with a few words. Zhao Mei then sat on the sofa and looked out the window at the Capital Economic and Trade Building not far away. That was where Yebai Investment Company was located. "So, Huo Cailiang, how is your plan going?"
Huo Cailiang raised his eyes, propped up his face with his hands, and stared straight ahead, seemingly lost in thought. "It won't be long. I've asked a new friend to help me continue collecting data as I was doing before, and it's almost finished."
"Also, another reason why Han Ruxue is increasingly anxious to harass me is that she is about to get engaged to Bai Zhengye, probably in a month at the latest."
Zhao Mei turned her gaze back to Huo Cailiang's face in surprise: "Aren't they childhood sweethearts? Shouldn't they be happy?"
Huo Cailiang shook his head and pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly: "Do you think she would still pester me if she was happy? Han Ruxue just doesn't want to marry Bai Zhengye. She looks down on him."
Zhao Mei nodded in understanding. "In a sense, she has good taste. But pursuing you... you can't make her cancel the marriage with the Bai family, and what's wrong with the engagement?
Huo Cailiang lowered his eyelids slightly, hiding his sharp gaze. "Han Ruxue naively thought that by having an affair with another man before marriage and ruining her reputation, she wouldn't have to marry Bai Yecheng anymore, and she could still be with me, whom she thought was more capable. It would be the best of both worlds."
"But she never considered that the Han family behind her was the in-laws carefully chosen by Bai Jianzhong for Bai Yecheng. She was indeed following me like a stalker, but have you seen even a little bit of information? Paparazzi are supposedly quite curious about the love life of the Han family's eldest daughter. No, not at all, because it's all been blocked by the Bai family."
"After all, it's more of an opportunity for family unity than a wedding for the younger generation. It has nothing to do with personal wishes. It's already surprising that Bai Yecheng likes Han Ruxue, so Bai Jianzhong attaches more importance to it. Han Ruxue's wishes? No one cares at all."
"Their engagement party will definitely be a grand affair, allowing for initial contact and communication between the two families' social circles. So, although I don't want Han Ruxue to be freed as she wishes, unfortunately, I think the best time to implement my plan is that day."
