Merlin was out of the game long ago.
There is absolutely no possibility of them re-entering the game.
But he still wouldn't give up.
They still held onto the hope of reconciliation.
A few minutes later, Huo Tingzhen returned. As soon as he entered the door, he started drinking water.
Jian Yu glanced behind her; the PR manager and assistant were nowhere to be seen. "Where is everyone else?"
"Back to the office."
"And what about Mrs. Bao?"
"They've left too."
Huo Tingzhen was in a very good mood. "I guess I won't be coming again."
"Would she really be so obedient and docile?"
Huo Tingzhen shook his head. "He's not honest at all, and he even tried to morally blackmail me, asking me to consider the Bao family's grandson and persuade Bao Yanbai to agree to the marriage. Tsk... He's either arrogant and conceited, or he's out of his mind."
Jian Yu was very curious about how the PR manager retaliated.
"She didn't even have to make a move, and the other party backed down."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
“I’m going to sever the business cooperation between the Huo family and the Bao family. I will compensate the Huo family for their losses, and the Bao family will have to bear their own losses.” As soon as she heard that, she started to change the subject and began to cry, begging me not to be so heartless. Anyone who didn’t know better would think I had done something to her. So, I started to scare her by calling the legal department in front of her and asking them to prepare a termination contract. When she saw that I was serious, she stopped crying on the spot, scolded me again, and ran away with her people before I could retaliate.
Jian Yu didn't understand Mrs. Bao's thinking. "Does she think that since the two families have a good working relationship, she won't back out and withdraw her investment?"
“That’s exactly what she thought. No company would be willing to terminate such a large collaborative project. And she also believed that I would continue the collaboration no matter what, for the sake of her son.”
Mrs. Bao is truly a negative example of blind self-confidence.
Given how much Huo Qizhen cares for Huo Tingzhen, he would rather not have the money than not make her happy.
As for the shareholders of the Huo family, even if they are dissatisfied and oppose it, Huo Qizhen can suppress them.
But the shareholders of the Bao family were able to tear her apart.
Jian Yu asked, "Did you capture such a spectacular scene on film?"
Huo Tingzhen nodded, "Of course. I not only filmed it, but I also sent the video to Bao Yanbai."
Huo Qizhen stood up, walked to his desk, and started making phone calls.
At first, Jian Yu and Huo Tingzhen didn't pay any attention, thinking it was about work.
Until I heard what he said.
“Your legal department should take the termination agreement to the chairman of Bao’s Enterprises right now and have him sign it.”
Jianyu, “…”
Huo Tingzhen, “…”
Huo Tingzhen rushed to the desk in a flash. "Brother, I was just kidding her, don't take it seriously! That's a lot of money!"
Kenneth Fok: "Our family is rich, we don't need this."
"......"
Huo Tingzhen pressed the end call button, and only after seeing the screen display that the call had been disconnected did he say seriously, "Brother, we don't need to turn our backs on money."
“As long as there is cooperation, the relationship between you two will never be severed. Bao Yanbai will keep pestering you until the cooperation between the two companies is completely terminated. Only then will Bao Yanbai let go.”
"No, no..."
Huo Tingzhen shook his head vigorously. "That's a 10 billion yuan investment project. I will never agree to it. I was just trying to scare her. If she doesn't fall for it, I'll think of another way. In short, the contract cannot be terminated."
Huo Qizhen didn't say anything more. After a moment of contemplation, he called the legal department again.
"Go now."
"elder brother----"
Huo Tingzhen's voice nearly shattered the window.
If it weren't for the good soundproofing in Kenneth Fok's office, the sound would have already reached the hallway and been heard by the people in the secretary's office.
Jian Yu was unsure whether he should advise Huo Qizhen not to act impulsively.
Huo Qizhen gave Huo Tingzhen a sharp tap on the head. "Keep your voice down, you're deafening me."
"Brother, stop right now!"
"We can't stop now; we must send the legal department over."
"Why can't we stop? You can just make a phone call now."
Huo Tingzhen was really anxious and had already started to pull Huo Qizhen, saying, "Quick, quick, make a call."
Jian Yu pulled the agitated Huo Tingzhen back, "Tingzhen, calm down."
"I can't calm down! That's a 10 billion yuan project."
Huo Tingzhen looked up and covered her head, "Ouch! My head hurts from being so anxious."
Jian Yu quickly massaged her temples while saying, "Don't worry, your brother is just putting on a show for the Bao family."
"ah?"
Huo Tingzhen suddenly realized what was going on.
"You just said you wanted to terminate the contract, so your brother has to show his stance now. He needs to let them know your status in the family, and also serve as a warning to others who want to marry into your family. The Huo family isn't one of those profit-driven aristocratic families. The reason Mrs. Bao dares to be so arrogant towards you is because the heiress of the Xuri Group gave her the courage. The Xuri Group was willing to sacrifice their own daughter to cooperate with her absurd actions in order to get that piece of land from the Bao family. Putting yourself in her shoes, she naturally feels that because of the business cooperation, no matter how dissatisfied you are, your brother will suppress it. She won't need to restrain her temper, and you can't do anything about it anyway."
Huo Tingzhen narrowed her eyes, and after a long while, she suddenly asked, "Does Bao Yanbai think the same way? He believes that as long as there is cooperation, even if I am dissatisfied, I won't make things too tense."
"this......"
Jian Yu really didn't know how to answer, since Bao Yanbai seemed to really like Huo Tingzhen.
However, liking something and having this idea are not mutually exclusive.
Huo Qizhen looked at Huo Tingzhen and said, "If you're sure you want to break up, then do it thoroughly. If you don't want to break up, then find a way to back down quickly."
"Who says I don't want to break up? With a mother like that, I must have been out of my mind to choose to marry him."
Since things had come to this point, Huo Qizhen nodded. "The general manager of Sunshine Group is the youngest son of their chairman. He wanted to invite you to dinner, but I turned him down. If you really have broken up, then go have dinner with him!"
Huo Tingzhen's eyes widened, and she asked incredulously, "What did you say? Are you arranging a blind date for me?"
"right."
"Why? What's wrong with you? Why are you arranging blind dates for me?"
Huo Qizhen glanced at her, "I'm afraid you'll go back to your ex."
Huo Tingzhen turned her head away sheepishly, "I'm not that indecisive."
Huo Qizhen said, "In short, let's go out for a meal, and hopefully things will develop further."
Huo Tingzhen said with displeasure, "Are you in such a hurry?"
Huo Tingzhen said, "Of course. Only when you have a new relationship will those two people give up."
Those two people, you know who they are without even having to say it.
"Knock knock knock----"
It must be the assistant knocking on the door.
"Enter!"
The assistant pushed the door open and came in.
"Mr. Huo, a blond, blue-eyed Mr. Merlin wants to see you. He has brought an investment proposal with him."
Jianyu, “…”
Is Merlin starting a roundabout way to achieve his goal?
I just don't know how effective it will be.
Huo Qizhen glanced at Huo Tingzhen first and asked, "What do you mean?"
Huo Tingzhen shook her head, her meaning naturally being that it was better not to meet.
Huo Qizhen respected her opinion, "Then let's not meet."
He had his assistant come downstairs and politely see the person off.
Merlin showed no anger after being rejected.
After having his assistant convey to Huo Qizhen that they would come back later, he left the office building with his entourage.
Jian Yu: "He plans to come again. Does this mean he won't give up until he achieves his goal and insists on cooperating?"
Merlin ignored her repeated refusals and now even came to the company. Huo Tingzhen was furious. "Cooperation is impossible."
Kenneth Fok also felt it was better not to cooperate.
But it's not good to let him keep hanging around the company.
After thinking for a moment, he stared at Huo Tingzhen and said, "I'm giving you a week off. Go on your date with the general manager of Sunshine Group now."
"..." Huo Tingzhen, "Is it okay if I don't go?"
What do you think?
Huo Qizhen looked at her coolly and said, "Or do you want Bao Yanbai and Meilin to continue their entanglement? And Bao Yanbai's mother comes to the company every day for a cup of coffee?"
Huo Tingzhen certainly didn't want that.
He scratched his nose and said with a fawning expression, "Brother, I have a lot of work to do these days. I'll probably have to stay at the company and work overtime every day. Well... I'll go back and get busy now."
He turned around and ran faster than a rabbit.
