Chapter 237: The God of Death
After saving the recording, Chi Xuan sent it directly to Ke Ning, and then searched for Huo Yunting, but found nothing.
She asked a socialite who used to have a good relationship with her, and found out that Yang Yi had called the police and reported that Huo Yunting had sexually harassed her during a business negotiation. Now the entire upper-class circle in Rongcheng is spreading this matter.
Chi Xuan pursed her lips. She didn't believe Huo Yunting's sexual harassment of Yang Yi. She had seen Yang Yi before, and she was indeed quite pretty. But Huo Yunting had seen all kinds of beauties, so how could he possibly fall for Yang Yi?
It seems that Yang Yi and Huo Tianyi were plotting against Huo Yunting together.
However, others didn't care whether the matter was true or not. Huo Yunting had offended many people in the past, so how could they miss the opportunity to mock and belittle him?
The Weibo staff didn't know why the information about Huo Yunting could not be released, and even the homophonic words could not be released. They went to the technical department to find the problem overnight. However, the technical department searched all night and still couldn't find any problems.
At dawn, the head of the technical department simply put down his keyboard and quit.
"We have to make this money! We can't find out anyway, so whoever can find out can do it!"
After saying this, he took his subordinates home to rest.
As soon as Huo Tianyi arrived at the company, the secretary walked into the office cautiously.
"Mr. Huo, Weibo has returned the money I gave it yesterday..."
Huo Tianyi's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly, and he asked coldly: "What's going on?"
"The technical department of Weibo spent the entire night trying to find a bug in Weibo, but they couldn't find the problem, so they refunded the money."
As soon as the secretary finished speaking, Huo Tianyi swept the documents at hand to the ground and said through gritted teeth: "A bunch of rubbish! They can't even make a trending search!"
"Mr. Huo, this incident has affected Huo's stock price to a certain extent. It's actually a good thing that it's not getting much attention right now."
Huo Tianyi gave him a cold look and said, "You know shit! Get lost!"
The next presidential election will be held next month. Although he currently holds 30% of the shares, if the shareholders who previously supported him suddenly change sides, Huo Yunting might replace him again.
This time, they asked Yang Yi to frame Huo Yunting in order to ruin Huo Yunting's reputation and make him have no chance of winning the next presidential election.
Now that this matter has been suppressed, things may become difficult later.
Thinking of this, Huo Tianyi called Yang Yi.
"Miss Yang, let's meet tonight."
…
On the other side, as soon as Chi Muzhen arrived at the office in the morning, Xu Qing walked into the office with an invitation.
"Mr. Chi, this is an invitation from the Bai family. Mr. Bai is celebrating his 80th birthday tonight."
Because of the previous conflict with Bai Xue Ning, Chi Muzhen didn't have a good impression of the Chi family.
Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly thought of something, looked up at Xu Qing and said, "Go check if the Bai family has invited the Yang family."
Although Yang Cheng and Yang Yutong had left Rongcheng because of the previous incident, she remembered that Mr. Bai and Yang Cheng's father were old friends for decades, so the Bai family might invite the Yang family.
After reading Yang Yi's information yesterday, Chi Muzhen was planning to find an opportunity to meet her, and tonight's time was just right.
Soon, Xu Qing came back.
"Mr. Chi, the Bai family did invite the Yang family."
Chi Muzhen nodded, "Okay, free up your schedule tonight and go prepare another gift."
"Okay, Mr. Chi."
In the evening, Chi Muzhen was about to go to a banquet after get off work when Huo Yunting called.
"Are you planning to attend the Bai family's banquet tonight?"
Chi Muzhen was a little surprised how he knew that, "Well, what's wrong?"
"I'm going too."
Hearing this, Chi Muzhen couldn't help but frown. Huo Yunting was now caught up in a sexual harassment scandal. If he went to the banquet now, he would definitely be laughed at.
Huo Yunting should be the center of attention and the object of everyone's envy, instead of being despised and scorned for carrying false accusations.
"I think it's better if you don't go to the banquet tonight."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds before Huo Yunting's low voice came through.
"If you're worried that it might affect you if I go in with you, I can go in an hour later than you."
Hearing this, Chi Muzhen felt a pang of heartache, but more of anger, "In your eyes, am I this kind of person?!"
"I know you're not, but I don't want you to be criticized because of me."
Chi Muzhen's eyes flashed with confusion, and she slowly said, "I want to know why you must attend this banquet?"
Huo Yunting whispered, "What about you?"
Chi Muzhen immediately understood. He guessed the purpose of his attending the banquet and couldn't help but sigh.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but I don't want you to go."
Huo Yunting said in a low voice, "You went to the banquet for my sake. Do you think I can let you face those rumors alone?"
The fact that they were together was not public, but they had never deliberately concealed it from others. Tonight, Chi Muzhen was going to attend the banquet, and Huo Yunting could imagine how maliciously those people would use the incident with Yang Yi to disgust her.
After a stalemate, Chi Muzhen was finally defeated.
"Okay, let's go together, but you don't have to avoid me on purpose. Let's go in together."
After a long silence, Huo Yunting's deep voice finally came from the other side.
"good."
At seven o'clock in the evening, Chi Muzhen walked into the most luxurious banquet hall on the fifth floor of Yunding Hotel with Huo Yunting's hand, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Huo Yunting was dressed in a black suit, with a straight posture. He exuded a cold aura that was intimidating.
Chi Muzhen, who was holding his hand, was wearing a light pink strapless long dress with a cinched waist. She had delicate makeup and slightly curly hair. Her temperament was cool yet sweet. She was so beautiful that people couldn't help but look at her.
If it were in the past, everyone would have said that the two were a perfect match made in heaven, but now Huo Yunting is no longer the president of Huo Corporation, and coupled with the incident with Yang Yi, everyone looks at them with contempt and ridicule.
"I didn't expect Huo Yunting to actually dare to attend the banquet. It's true that shamelessness is invincible. If I were him, I would have found a hole in the ground to crawl into. There's no way I could be as calm as him, as if nothing had happened."
"It's obvious that he does this kind of thing privately all the time, so he doesn't care. I don't know what the Bai family was thinking, but they actually sent him an invitation!"
"You don't know this. Mr. Bai and Mr. Yang have a good relationship. I guess Mr. Bai wants to use this opportunity to help the Yang family vent their anger. Just wait and see!"
…
Chi Muzhen and Huo Yunting pretended not to hear the discussions around them and slowly walked towards Mr. Bai who was sitting in the middle of the banquet hall.
Walking up to Mr. Bai, Chi Muzhen handed the gift to the person who was in charge of receiving the gifts and said with a smile, "I wish Mr. Bai good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."
Old Master Bai glanced at her indifferently, then looked at Huo Yunting, and his expression immediately turned a little ugly.
"Mr. Huo... No, maybe I should call you Second Young Master Huo now. I heard that you touched my granddaughter while discussing business a few days ago. Is this true?"
When the people around heard this, they immediately pricked up their ears and even the talking became much quieter. The entire banquet hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Huo Yunting, wanting to see how he would answer.
However, Huo Yunting looked indifferent, and his facial expression did not change at all.
"Does Mr. Bai have any misunderstandings about me?"
Mr. Bai was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
"I'm not blind, and I'm not interested in ugly women."
