Chapter 94: Secretly Crossing Chencang
Chi Muzhen was silent for a few seconds, and her voice was a little cold. "If you have anything to say, just tell me on the phone."
"Nothing special, I just heard that the Huo family is planning to develop a piece of land in the east of the city into an amusement park. Can you help me talk to Mr. Huo and ask the Chi family to join this project as well?"
Chi Zhen's voice was a little low. It seemed that he had hit a wall several times before he finally lowered his face to look for Chi Muzhen.
Chi Muzhen curled her lips sarcastically, "You should know very well that Huo Yunting doesn't like me, and he won't listen to what I say."
Chi Zhen paused before speaking: "After all, you and he are husband and wife. As long as you talk to him nicely, there might be a chance for this matter to turn around. Just help Dad this time. If he really disagrees, it won't affect you, right?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you. Please find someone else."
Chi Muzhen hung up the phone directly, which made Chi Zhen very angry. His face turned ashen and his eyes were full of anger.
Xu Rou, who was standing by, sneered and said sarcastically, "I've told you long ago that she never considered us her parents. She only came back because she was attracted by the Chi family's money. Now that she knows she can't get a penny from the Chi family, her true colors have been revealed!"
Chi Zhen frowned and began to feel disgusted with Chi Muzhen.
Compared to Chi Xuan, Chi Muzhen is too ignorant and doesn't know how to seek benefits for the family.
Doesn't she know that if the Chi family wants to get better, she will have the final say in front of Huo Yunting?
When Chi Xuan returned home, she saw Chi Zhen and Xu Rou sitting on the sofa with grim expressions, and doubts flashed in their eyes.
"Dad, Mom, what happened? Why do you look so upset?"
Xu Rou snorted coldly and said unhappily, "It's all because of work. Your father wanted to participate in the development of a piece of land in the east of Huo's City. He went to Huo Yunting several times but didn't even see him.
I just called Chi Muzhen and wanted her to say a few words in front of Huo Yunting, but she just hung up the phone. She simply didn't take your dad seriously!
Chi Xuan's eyes flashed, and she walked over to sit next to Xu Rou and said, "Mom, you all know that Brother Yun Ting hates my sister. If you ask her to beg Brother Yun Ting for mercy, he will definitely not be nice to her."
Xu Rou curled her lips and said coldly, "That's because she's useless. She spent three years and didn't make any money. She didn't help the Chi family at all. She's just a waste!"
Chi Xuan smiled and said, "Okay, stop talking about my sister like that. I'll try this."
"You've been busy preparing for the design competition lately, and I don't want to distract you."
"Sooner or later, Dad will hand over the company to me. Of course, I have to help the company gain benefits now, but I can't guarantee that I can succeed."
Xu Rou's eyes were full of smiles. She tapped Chi Xuan's nose and said, "With my daughter taking action, is there anything that can't be accomplished?"
"Okay, Mom, I'm going upstairs first. I'll tell you when I have news."
"good."
Back in the room, Chi Xuan called Huo Yunting.
The other party picked up the call just as I was about to hang up.
"What's up?"
There was a hint of indifference in his voice, and Chi Xuan's heart sank.
"Brother Yunting, I heard that the Huo family is planning to develop land in the east of the city recently?"
Huo Yunting frowned, "Well, what's wrong?"
"My father also wants to participate in this project and has come to you several times. Can you let the Chi family also..."
Before she could finish her words, Huo Yunting interrupted her coldly, "Chi Xuan, I'm a businessman."
Chi Xuan bit her lower lip and said, "I know. If it embarrasses you, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Is there anything else you want to do?"
“No…no more…”
As soon as he finished speaking, a busy tone came from the phone.
Chi Xuan's fingers suddenly tightened, and her eyes were gloomy.
Huo family.
Huo Yunting called Ke Ning into the office.
"Has Chi Zhen come to see me recently?"
Ke Ning nodded. "Well, he came here for the land in the east of the city. Since Chi's is not within the scope of our cooperation, I didn't let him come to meet you."
Huo Yunting fell silent, his eyes deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Mr. Chi, is there any problem?"
After a long while, Huo Yunting finally spoke: "Go and see if there are any small projects on that piece of land that can be handed over to Chi's."
A hint of doubt flashed in Koning's eyes, but he didn't dare to ask more.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After Ke Ning left, Huo Yunting opened the chat interface with Chi Muzhen, looked at it for a while, but still didn't see anything, so he put down his phone.
Soon, Ko Ning sorted out the projects that could be handed over to Chi.
"Mr. Huo, the swimming pool and landscaping can be left to Chi's."
"Well, go contact Chi Zhen. Also, next time he comes to see me, just let him in."
"OK."
Koning left with a lot of doubts.
Why did Huo Yunting's attitude towards Chi Zhen suddenly change so much?
Even when he was in the throes of romance with Chi Xuan, he never helped the Chi family. Could it be... because of Chi Muzhen?!
Thinking of Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen's fake divorce, Ke Ning immediately became more determined.
It must be because he wants to pursue Chi Muzhen, so he plans to deal with her parents first, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort in the future!
It seems that he will have to be more respectful to Chi Zhen in the future, after all, he is the father of the president's wife.
On the other side, the Chi family.
Chi Xuan finally calmed down and was about to go wash up when there was a knock on the door.
She opened the door and Xu Rou was outside.
"Xuanxuan, did you contact Huo Yunting just now?"
Chi Xuan nodded, her face looking a little ugly.
"Mom, Brother Yun Ting..."
Before she finished speaking, Xu Rou excitedly said, "I knew that if you asked Huo Yunting, he would definitely agree!"
Looking at Xu Rou's excited expression, Chi Xuan was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
"Your father just received a call from Huo Yunting's secretary. Huo's company has agreed to give several projects on the land in the east of the city to Chi's company!"
Chi Xuan's eyes flashed with disbelief. Hadn't Huo Yunting just rejected her coldly on the phone? Why did he just turn around and have his secretary give the project to the Chi family?
"Xuanxuan, why are you in a daze?"
Chi Xuan came back to her senses and quickly shook her head, "I... I'm just too happy..."
Xu Rou looked at her with eyes full of pride, "I knew my daughter was the best!"
Although she didn't know why Huo Yunting suddenly changed his mind, Chi Xuan felt relieved.
It seems that he still has feelings for me.
"By the way, Xuanxuan, I heard from your father that the project Huo gave you this time can earn at least hundreds of millions! You have made such a big contribution to Chi's. Is there anything you want? Just consider it as a reward for you!"
"Mom, I'm doing this voluntarily, not for any reward."
Xu Rou smiled and nodded, "Of course Mom knows. I remember you had your eye on a dress before. I'll take you to buy it tomorrow!"
A hint of surprise flashed in Chi Xuan's eyes, "Really?!"
She had been eyeing that dress for a long time, but it cost more than 6 million yuan, and she only had more than 10 million yuan at her disposal. The dress would almost cost her one-third of her savings, so she had never been willing to buy it.
"Really? Would I lie to you?"
Chi Xuan hugged Xu Rou excitedly, "Mom, I love you!"
Xu Rou smiled and patted her back. "Alright, you're already grown up, and you're still acting like a spoiled brat! It's getting late now, go to bed. We'll go to the mall tomorrow morning."
The next morning, just as Chi Muzhen was about to go out to work, she received a call from Shen Tian.
"Zhenzhen, the Rosewood brand sent us a lawyer's letter this morning, saying that MY's designer plagiarized their work!"
