Chapter 277 Killing the Tiger
Chi Muzhen shook her head. "No, this operation is very dangerous. If it fails, your reputation will be affected by me."
Xu Ye sneered, "Do you think I care about reputation?"
"Even if you don't care, I can't take this risk. The decision is mine, and no matter what the result is, I have to bear it myself."
Seeing her insistence, Xu Ye didn't say anything else, nodded and said: "Okay, I understand."
After the two finished talking about this matter, they parted ways. Chi Muzhen returned to the villa and began to immerse herself in the downloaded medical information, hoping to find a way to increase the success rate of the operation.
…
The Shi family's dealings with the Huo family were no secret and soon reached the ears of Old Mrs. Huo.
After finding out the whole story, Mrs. Huo immediately called Huo Yunting.
"Yun Ting, what's going on between you and the Shi family in Beijing?! I heard that you were planning to cooperate with the Shi family before?!"
Huo Yunting had just gotten off the plane when he heard the questioning tone in Old Lady Huo's voice and couldn't help but frown.
Mrs. Huo never asked about business matters before, so why is she suddenly so concerned this time?
"Yeah, but that was in the past. Now I have cancelled my cooperation with Shi's."
As soon as the voice fell, Mrs. Huo's solemn voice came from the other side, "Don't cooperate with companies in Beijing in the future!"
"Why?"
"Don't worry about why. Just listen to me and don't get involved with any family in the capital!"
After a few seconds of silence, Huo Yunting whispered, "Grandma, I just signed a contract with Xuan's."
"What?!"
Mrs. Huo's voice suddenly rose, and she angrily said, "Terminate the contract immediately! I'll go to the company right away!"
Before Huo Yunting could say anything, the call was hung up.
He didn't call back, but put away his phone with a gloomy expression.
Mrs. Huo’s attitude is wrong. Why is she so resistant to cooperation between Huo’s company and Beijing’s enterprises?
As soon as he arrived at the office door, Huo Yunting saw a group of shareholders sitting at the door of his office. He couldn't help but frowned and said coldly: "Why are you standing here instead of going to work?!"
"Mr. Huo, you're finally back! You know what happened with the Shi family against the Huo family, right? Why did the Shi family suddenly go back on their word?!"
Huo Yunting looked at the shareholder who was speaking with a cold expression and said coldly, "The Huo and Shi companies have terminated their contract. I went to Beijing yesterday and just signed a cooperation contract with the Xuan company. From now on, Huo's partner will change from Shi's to Xuan's. Is there any problem?"
The shareholders were all in disbelief. They didn't expect that Huo Yunting had disappeared for a day and had quietly signed a cooperation agreement with Xuan's.
The Xuan family is also one of the eight major families in the capital. Naturally, their capabilities are beyond doubt and are no worse than the Shi family.
"Boss Huo, Shi's has snatched away a lot of cooperation from our company in the past two days!"
Huo Yunting's expression didn't change at all. "Don't worry about it. Just do your job well."
Under Huo Yunting's pressure, no one dared to say anything and they all left.
After all, various crises have occurred in the past few years that Huo Yunting has been managing the Huo Group, but under Huo Yunting's management, the Huo Group will eventually be able to turn the tide and overcome the crisis.
This time will definitely be no exception!
Ke Ning followed Huo Yunting into the office. Seeing that he looked a little tired, he quickly said, "Mr. Huo, you haven't had much rest these past two days. Go to the lounge and get some sleep."
Huo Yunting rubbed his temples, picked up a contract, and said as he looked at it, "No need. Go make me a cup of coffee. When the old lady comes over later, just bring her in."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ke Ning's eyes. In the few years he had followed Huo Yunting, Old Mrs. Huo had never come to the Huo family.
He quickly suppressed the doubts in his heart and whispered, "Yes!"
Soon, Mrs. Huo arrived.
Seeing her serious face, Huo Yunting asked Ke Ning to pour her a glass of water and then asked her to leave. Suddenly, only the two of them were left in the office.
"Grandma, please sit down first."
Mrs. Huo took a deep breath and sat down on the sofa. She looked at Huo Yunting and said, "Terminate the contract with Xuan within three days."
"Grandma, business is no joke. The Shi family is targeting the Huo family right now. If we offend the Xuan family now, the Huo family will go bankrupt."
Anger flashed in Mrs. Huo's eyes. "Don't you even listen to me?"
"It's not that I don't want to listen, but if you want me to terminate my cooperation with Xuan's, you have to have a reason that convinces me."
Mrs. Huo's grip on the cane tightened unconsciously, a trace of grief flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "There is no reason. Anyway, you are not allowed to cooperate with the Beijing company, and you are not allowed to have anything to do with the Beijing family!"
Huo Yunting lowered his eyes, and after a while he slowly spoke: "Grandma, you don't allow me to contact the company in Beijing. Is it because of the secret key?"
He sent people to track down the members of Lengye's mercenary group, but it turned out that after Lengye's people brought Huo Tianyi into the capital, they disappeared without a trace and no further news could be found.
Leng Ye's people used Huo Tianyi for the secret key, and they disappeared after entering the capital. Now, Mrs. Huo doesn't allow him to have any dealings with companies in the capital, which makes him suspect that it is related to the secret key.
And he still doesn't know what the secret key is and what it is used for.
Mrs. Huo's face paled immediately. "Yun Ting, don't ask any more questions. There's no benefit in contacting people from the capital. Just listen to me and don't ask why, okay?"
"Grandma, I won't agree. Huo Tianyi and the people who killed my uncle and aunt are hiding in the capital, and they have already set their sights on the Huo family. Even if they can hide for a while, can they hide forever?"
"Hide as long as you can!"
Huo Yunting shook his head. "Grandma, if they don't get the secret key, they will find another opportunity to harm the Huo family. Besides, don't you want to avenge your uncle and aunt?"
Old Mrs. Huo's eyes gradually turned red. She stared at Huo Yunting and spoke word by word, "Those people are simply not something we can contend with. Yunting, I just hope that our family can live a stable life in Rongcheng. That's enough!"
"Grandma, you still don't understand. If we don't resolve the matter of the secret key, the Huo family will never be safe."
After a long silence, Mrs. Huo said tiredly, "Since I can't persuade you, I won't try anymore. Don't call me grandma anymore."
After saying that, Mrs. Huo stood up and was about to leave.
"What exactly is a secret key?! What's it for?! Why would anyone in the capital want a secret key?!"
Mrs. Huo's figure suddenly froze, and then she whispered, "Don't ask, I don't want to talk about this."
"grandmother!"
Huo Yunting walked quickly to her, looked at her and said, "Continuously giving in will only lead the Huo family into an irretrievable situation. Tell me the truth, at least give me a chance to decide whether to move forward or backward."
Old Mrs. Huo looked up at him, and the determination in Huo Yunting's eyes made her nose sore.
She almost forgot that her grandson had grown up and was able to shoulder the responsibilities of a big family.
"Okay, I'll tell you everything." After taking a deep breath, Mrs. Huo turned around and went back to the sofa.
An hour later, she left Huo Yunting's office.
No one knew what they talked about in the office. After she left, Huo Yunting called Ke Ning into the office and said coldly, "Start deploying our manpower in the capital. The more the better."
Ke Ning was confused, but he didn't ask. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away!"
After Ke Ning left, Huo Yunting rubbed his eyebrows, feeling heavy in his heart.
After knowing what his grandmother said, he had no intention of backing down. Instead, he decided to give it his all. Even if he lost miserably, he would not regret it!
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
The phone on the table suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was Chi Muzhen, a hint of tenderness flashed across his cold eyes.
"Zhenzhen, what's wrong?"
"Yun Ting, I saw that the Shi family is dealing with the Huo family. Is it because what I did to Shi Xingguo before angered him, so he is now taking revenge on the Huo family?"
