Chapter 384 I Want to Reestablish a Relationship with You
Jiang Yao's mouth twitched. He didn't expect that a workaholic would use emotional matters as an excuse.
What he said was indeed reasonable and well-founded, so Jiang Yao had no choice but to accept it.
Moreover, this cooperation is quite important, as the investor behind it is a large foreign family.
After Jiang Yao understood all the information, she packed up and went to meet the partner in person on the afternoon of the third day.
When she arrived at Huasheng Group, she was asked to sit in the conference room.
"Ms. Jiang, please wait a moment. Our CEO will be here soon." The assistant made tea for her and told her that she could look through the things in the room at will.
Jiang Yao's eyelids jumped. This partner trusted her too much!
Moreover, looking at the layout, style and furnishings of this office, she always had a sense of déjà vu.
Just as she was doubting it, she suddenly saw the familiar badge next to the president's desk. This pattern -
"Yaoyao, long time no see."
A familiar voice suddenly sounded from the door.
Jiang Yao's pupils shrank, and he turned around to see Huo Yishen, who was wearing a well-tailored gray suit and was neatly dressed from head to toe.
The moment he saw her, his eyes seemed to become as gentle as water, and he said in a familiar tone: "You are becoming more and more beautiful."
In an instant, Jiang Yao was almost covered in goosebumps.
It’s actually him!
Not long ago, she found out that her parents' affairs were related to the Huo family.
I officially met Huo Yishen so soon.
It seemed like a carefully planned layout, which made people feel creepy.
"Are you the CEO of Huasheng?"
Two years later, he has become the helmsman of a large foreign family?
Moreover, according to my uncle, the Huasheng Group that Huo Yishen is currently running has a leading monopoly position.
It is the best cooperation he is optimistic about this time.
"Yes, Yaoyao, I have missed you so much in the past two years." Huo Yi looked at her deeply, "But I have been working hard, just to make achievements to prove it to you."
Jiang Yao quickly calmed down: "What are you showing me? It seems like we no longer have any relationship, Mr. Huo."
When Huo Yishen heard this, he felt as if his heart was stabbed, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
"Yaoyao, I know it was my family that hurt you back then. You were clearly the innocent victim, but I didn't know right from wrong and kept siding with Yueyao...
Now I know how outrageous my behavior was. I have cherished you since childhood, but I just couldn't accept the reality at that time. Now I have gone through deep reflection. "
Having said that, he took two steps forward and looked at her sincerely, "Yaoyao, you can stop treating me as an uncle and treat me as an ordinary man. Let's start building our relationship again, okay?"
Jiang Yao shuddered when he heard this.
She suddenly thought of a secret that Lu Xuan told her several months ago.
He said, Huo Yishen likes her?
She was a little skeptical at the time. After all, they had been relatives for so many years. How could he, as her uncle, have such an idea?
Even if we know that they are not related by blood, will this kind of relationship still change?
But now, facing Huo Yishen's attitude, she was about to get goosebumps all over her body.
She didn't think about it anymore.
"Mr. Huo, aren't we here as partners to discuss a project?" She took the initiative to change the subject. "How about we talk about the project content first?"
Huo Yishen carefully described her eyebrows and eyes, not knowing whether he could see anything. After a moment, a gentle smile appeared on his face again, "Of course, let's sit down."
The two parties quickly entered into professional negotiations. Huo Yishen was easier to talk to than she had imagined. Not only did he not question the conditions she proposed, he even offered to give up 5% of the profits.
"Mr. Huo, this is not fair to your company!" Jiang Yao was still quite cautious.
"There's nothing unfair about it. This is what I owe you. Consider it my compensation to you." Huo Yishen obviously combined the public and private matters together.
Jiang Yao frowned somewhat uncomfortably.
However, at the negotiation table, the partner offered good conditions, so there was no need for her to be the one to overturn the table.
After carefully confirming that there were no loopholes in the cooperation, she finally made a decision and signed her name.
Huo Yishen was not surprised by this result.
He knew that Jiang Yao was a smart man and would not act on impulse.
It was worth it for him to spend two years leveraging his grandmother's family's influence to build his own business empire.
Only by standing at the top can he get the people and things he wants.
Today, this is just the first step.
After the cooperation was reached, Huo Yishen glanced at his watch and took the initiative to suggest, "It's still early, why don't we go have dinner together?"
Jiang Yao usually agrees to such invitations from partners.
But this time she refused flatly, "Sorry, I don't think it's necessary. We are just work partners and have no other relationship. There is no need to arrange a meal together."
She is now wary of this whole family.
I won't let my guard down until I understand the purpose.
Although Huo Yishen felt a little regretful, he did not force it.
"Then as a qualified partner, I can personally escort you downstairs!"
Having said that, Jiang Yao had no reason to refuse.
The two of them walked into the elevator one after the other.
In the enclosed space, Huo Yishen's attitude towards her was even more concerned. "Yaoyao, how have you been these past two years? Although I've been seeing news about your various R&D projects and awards, it must have been a lot of pressure behind the scenes. Is it very hard and tiring?"
His tone seemed to have returned to the caring tone he had when he was her uncle.
Since they were in a cooperative relationship, Jiang Yao couldn't completely ignore him. He simply said, "You don't have the entanglement of the Xu and Huo families. I'm living a good life. My family, friends, and lover are also very good to me. Having their support is my greatest motivation."
Hearing the word "lover", Huo Yishen's eyes flashed with a cold and gloomy light, but his face remained calm and provocative: "Really? If you are really happy, do you still need to come out and discuss cooperation? I don't think Li Beiting has taken good care of you."
Jiang Yao found this ridiculous and turned to look at him, "So in your eyes, I should be like a captive canary, staying at home obediently every day, waiting to be fed and cared for. Shouldn't I have the right to freely choose and pursue happiness?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
Huo Yishen was somewhat helpless. "Yaoyao, I just feel sorry for you. You don't have to be so aggressive towards me. Can't you feel my sincerity towards you since childhood?"
