Chapter 533: Rain or shine
Wei Dingcheng shook his head and said nothing more.
After three days of the summit, more than a dozen companies have expressed their intention to cooperate with Jinyue.
As long as the contract is signed successfully, Jin Yue will definitely leave the Huo family far behind. Tang Ruze had a smile on his face and was chatting and laughing with everyone, as if he had already put the previous conflict with Huo Yunting behind him.
After the summit, Tang Ruze stopped Huo Yunting in the underground garage.
"Mr. Huo, how have your conversations with other companies been going these days? If there's no company willing to cooperate with Huo's, I can give you a few of my clients."
Huo Yunting looked at him indifferently, "No need, Mr. Tang should keep it for himself. The Huo family doesn't need it."
Tang Ruze smiled, "Mr. Huo, you don't have to be so polite. I really want to help you."
"Whether it's genuine or fake, I have no interest in it at all. Mr. Tang, just take care of your own business. Meddling in other people's affairs might end up costing you more than you gain."
"Haha, then we'll just have to wait and see!"
After saying that, Tang Ruze turned and left.
On the way back, Ke Ning couldn't help but say, "Boss Huo, if we don't take action now, Jin Yue will really sign contracts with those partners."
Huo Yunting's expression was icy, and he lowered his eyes and said, "Don't worry, it's not time yet. How is the proposal venue set up?"
"It's already in the final stages. It will be finished in a day or two."
Huo Yunting nodded. "Yes, as soon as possible. Zhenzhen's birthday is in a few days."
"OK."
When he returned to the villa, he found it was pitch black inside. Huo Yunting couldn't help but frown. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and Xiao Muzhen was still working overtime in the company?
He dialed Xiao Muzhen's number, and as soon as the call was connected, he heard a noisy conversation on the other end.
"Zhenzhen, where are you now?"
"It's a bit noisy, wait a moment."
After more than ten seconds, the noisy sound gradually faded away and the other side became much quieter.
"Yun Ting, I decided to have a department dinner tonight on the spur of the moment. I didn't tell you because you were still attending the summit."
Huo Yunting was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, then he said, "I'll pick you up when it's over."
"It will probably take about an hour. I can take a taxi back by myself."
"Send me the address and I'll leave in half an hour."
Huo Yunting's voice was filled with an unyielding dominance, so Xiao Muzhen nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll hang up first."
"Um."
After sending the address to Huo Yunting, Xiao Muzhen put away his phone and returned to the box.
As soon as I sat down at my seat, my colleague next to me handed me a red cocktail. "Designer Xiao, it was your turn to play the drums just now, but you went out to make a phone call. This is your punishment. Drink it in one gulp! Otherwise, there will be other punishments later!"
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips, took the glass of wine and drank it all.
She didn't really like this kind of occasion. She felt a little uncomfortable seeing a group of people she didn't know very well getting together to eat.
Yan Nan, who was sitting opposite her, saw her drink the glass of wine and a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I hope the medicine Chi Xuan gave me is more effective, otherwise he will have to find other ways to deal with Xiao Muzhen.
The dinner finally ended at around nine o'clock.
Everyone walked out of the restaurant together. As they reached the door, someone saw the black Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the door and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"In my lifetime, I actually got to see a real Rolls-Royce Phantom!"
"Driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom and coming here to eat barbecue? This car is really out of place here. This kind of car should be seen in front of a high-end Western restaurant."
"I don't like what you said. The restaurant I chose is one of the top ten must-eat restaurants in Beijing. Besides, if I drive a luxury car, I don't have to eat, right?"
…
Amidst the discussion of the crowd, the rear door was pushed open and a tall man walked out.
After seeing his face clearly, the women at the scene couldn't help but look at him.
"So handsome! I'm going to faint from his handsomeness!"
"Isn't this Huo Yunting, the president of the Huo Group? Is he here to pick up Xiao Design?"
"Woo woo woo, I heard he has a cool personality, but he actually came to pick up his girlfriend. His boyfriend power is instantly maxed out!"
Under everyone's envious gaze, Xiao Muzhen said goodbye to them and walked towards Huo Yunting.
It was not until he got in the car that Xiao Muzhen felt that he was isolated from those gazes that followed him like a shadow.
"Don't come to pick me up next time. I can go back by myself."
A hint of surprise flashed across Huo Yunting's eyes, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The car you drive is getting more and more high-profile, which always attracts people's attention."
Huo Yunting couldn't help but smile when he heard that. He held her hand and said, "If I remember correctly, you have a more high-profile one."
"Didn't I lend that car to my third brother? Besides, I rarely drive it."
"Okay, then I'll pick you up in a more low-key car next time."
Xiao Muzhen raised an eyebrow, "Okay."
When the two returned home and Xiao Muzhen was about to take a shower and go to bed, Huo Yunting suddenly said, "We're having dinner together on Friday night. Remember to make time for it."
Xiao Muzhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Okay."
After returning to the bedroom, Xiao Muzhen immediately called Xie Fu.
"Afu, we can't have dinner together on Friday."
As soon as the words fell, Xie Fu's voice came over immediately, "Why?! Is it because of Huo Yunting?!"
"Um……"
"You're such a ruthless woman! I was already thinking about how to celebrate your birthday, but I didn't expect you to abandon me just for a man. I'm so heartbroken!"
Xiao Muzhen felt a little guilty and said quickly, "I'm sorry, he didn't tell me before. I thought he had forgotten about it."
"Humph! If you don't treat me to a meal, I won't be able to get over this!"
"Okay, okay, you pick the restaurant and I'll pay."
"That's more like it, but in this case, I'll just send your birthday present directly to your company."
"good."
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Xiao Muzhen put away her phone, got up, took her nightgown and went to take a shower.
Xiao Muzhen's birthday soon arrived. Early in the morning, as soon as she arrived at the company, couriers kept coming to deliver things to her, and they didn't stop all morning.
Until Xiao Muzhen's office was almost full, she had no choice but to find a mover to deliver the things to the villa first, and then slowly unpack them in the evening.
Seeing that the medicine had no effect at all, Yan Nan couldn't help but call Chi Xuan and angrily asked, "Chi Xuan, was that a fake medicine?! Why didn't Xiao Muzhen have any reaction after taking it for two days?!"
Chi Xuan was silent for a moment before she said coldly, "Why rush? I only know that the medicine is poisonous, but I don't know exactly when it will take effect. Please wait a little longer. I have something else to do. Don't call me again!"
After saying that, Chi Xuan hung up the phone. When Yan Nan called again, it showed that the phone was turned off.
On the other side, Chi Xuan was at the airport at the moment, wearing a mask on her face, a loose skirt that was inconsistent with her previous style, a hat on her head, and her eyes looking around in panic.
