Chapter 552: Few as the Morning Stars
"Well, we've found out that the person behind this incident is Huo Yunting, the president of the Huo Group."
Xiao Muzhen's hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously, and after a long while, he whispered, "Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen was silent for a while before starting to pack up and prepare to go on a business trip.
Just as she was about to go out, she received a call from Yan Nan.
"Xiao Sheji, I'll come pick you up. Please send me the address."
After sending the address to Yan Nan, Xiao Muzhen sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze.
She couldn't understand why Huo Yunting, who was already engaged to Guo Zhenzhen, would expose all the things Guo Zhenzhen had done in the past on the Internet, and at this point in time.
Is it to vent her anger?
Xiao Muzhen took a deep breath and suppressed the unrealistic thoughts in his mind.
If Huo Yunting really liked her, he would not be engaged to Guo Zhenzhen. She could not continue to be so self-indulgent, otherwise she would be the only one who would get hurt.
Soon, Yan Nan arrived.
After getting in the car, Yan Nan looked at her inquiringly, "Xiao Sheji, are you worried about something?"
Xiao Muzhen was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, why do you ask?"
"Because I noticed you were distracted after getting in the car, and your face looked a little pale."
Xiao Muzhen pursed her lips and lowered her head and said, "I guess I didn't sleep well last night."
"Then you can rest now. It will probably take more than an hour to get to the airport."
"It's okay. I can't sleep in the car either. I might as well look at the documents."
Yan Nan smiled and said, "It's up to you."
Xiao Muzhen picked up the document and started reading. This time they went to Nancheng mainly to inspect the fabric factories and garment factories in Nancheng, as well as the popular clothing design styles there. They would make a research report and submit it to the headquarters, which would evaluate whether to enter Nancheng.
After the two arrived at the airport and passed security, they found a seat in front of the check-in gate.
Xiao Muzhen closed his eyes and pretended to doze off, wanting to rest for a while, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. The figure of Huo Yunting kept appearing in his mind.
Why on earth would he do that?!
In any case, it couldn't be because of her.
Thinking of his indifference towards her at his engagement party with Guo Zhenzhen, Xiao Muzhen's heart gradually grew cold.
Whatever reason he had for dealing with Guo Zhenzhen had nothing to do with her, and she shouldn't continue to be so self-indulgent.
Soon, it was time for the two to board the plane. After getting on the plane, Xiao Muzhen was about to turn off his phone when he received a call from Xie Fu.
"Zhenzhen, do you know? I heard that Guo Zhenzhen went to Huo's and had a big fight with Huo Yunting today!"
Xiao Muzhen was silent for two seconds, then whispered, "I guess it's because Huo Yunting was the one who made the trending search last night."
"What?! Is this true? Is Huo Yunting crazy?!"
After Xie Fu finished speaking, she realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "I'm just surprised. Guo Zhenzhen is his fiancée. Why would he spread rumors about his fiancée behind her back? Does he still have feelings for you?"
Xiao Muzhen frowned and said in a deep voice, "Impossible. I guess they are just engaged on the surface, but in reality, their two companies are secretly competing with each other. That's why Huo Yunting posted all that negative information about Guo Zhenzhen online."
"What you said is also possible."
But she still felt that Huo Yunting did this for Xiao Muzhen.
"I'm on a plane now and my phone needs to be turned off, so I won't talk to you for now."
"Where are you going?"
"Going on a business trip to South City."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen turned off his phone.
Just as she was about to put away her phone, she noticed Yan Nan looking at her.
She turned her head and met Yan Nan's curious gaze. She couldn't help but frown, feeling a little unhappy. She didn't like people staring at her.
Perhaps realizing her displeasure, Yan Nan smiled and said, "I also saw the trending searches for Miss Guo last night. I didn't expect it to be related to President Huo."
Xiao Muzhen put away his phone and said calmly, "Only the parties involved know what happened between them."
"Xiao Sheji, aren't you angry? Mr. Huo was so good to you before, but now he's engaged to another woman."
Xiao Muzhen turned her head and glanced at him, her eyes devoid of any emotion. "Manager Yan, you're going a bit over the line with this question."
Yan Nan smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Design, I offended you."
Xiao Muzhen didn't say anything else, took out an eye mask, put it on and prepared to go to sleep.
After more than three hours of flight, the two finally arrived in Nancheng.
After checking in at the hotel, the two took a taxi to the largest restaurant in Nancheng. Yan Nan had an appointment with a local designer in Nancheng to have dinner together tonight, and in the next few days, the designer would take them to visit fabric factories and garment factories.
On the way to the hotel, Yan Nan said to Xiao Muzhen, "The designer's name is Xu Miao. Her father is the president of the Xu Corporation in Nancheng. We met when we went to Beijing for an event. She has her own unique insights into design. Maybe you two can get along well."
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Yeah."
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the hotel.
After getting off the car, Xiao Muzhen followed Yan Nan, and the waiter took them to box number eight on the second floor.
As soon as the waiter opened the door, a smiling voice came out.
"Manager Yan, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
After walking in, Xiao Muzhen saw the woman sitting in the middle of the box at a glance.
She was about the same age as me, with small and delicate features, neat short hair, two large metal hoop earrings on her ears, and she was wearing a red tight sweater and a black short leather skirt, which made her skin look white and her figure look well-proportioned.
While Xiao Muzhen was observing her, she was also observing Xiao Muzhen.
After a few seconds, she stood up and said with a smile: "Manager Yan, why don't you introduce who this beautiful woman behind you is?"
"This is Xiao Muzhen, the designer of my company. You can just call her Xiao Design. Xiao Design, this is Xu Miao, Xu Design."
Xu Miao extended his hand and shook hands with Xiao Muzhen, his smile brightening a little. "Hello, Xiao Designer, welcome to South City!"
"Thanks!"
After greeting each other, they sat down at the table. Xu Miao handed the menu to Xiao Muzhen and said, "Designer Xiao, please order."
Xiao Muzhen checked a few dishes on the menu and handed it back to Xu Miao. "Designer Xu, I've ordered."
Xu Miao and Yan Nan ordered a few more dishes, and then began to ask Yan Nan about the current popular clothing trends in Beijing.
Yan Nan couldn't help but smile. "Designer Xu, you should ask Designer Xiao about this. I'm just a department manager, in charge of the management department. I don't have the same precise grasp of popular trends as Designer Xiao."
Xu Miao raised his eyebrows and said, "You're right. Why don't you sit over there and let me have a good chat with Xiao Sheji."
"Looks like I'm starting to get in your way!"
"Nonsense, sit aside!"
Judging from the way the two men spoke, they must be close friends.
After pushing Yan Nan aside, Xu Miao sat next to Xiao Muzhen and said with a smile, "Designer Xiao, I just happen to have a few new ideas recently. Let's discuss them!"
Seeing the excitement in Xu Miao's eyes, Xiao Muzhen nodded and said, "Okay."
