Huafei stepped out of the elevator.
There used to be a secretary on duty outside Huo Beichen's office, but this workstation is empty at the moment.
The office door was wide open, and several people were talking inside; their voices could be heard through.
“We must negotiate with the bank and reach a cooperation agreement so that the Sun family can no longer hold us back.”
"But after the Sun family withdrew their investment, our funding dried up. What can we use to convince the banks that we can succeed?"
"The Sun family can just withdraw their investment like that. Are all the contracts we signed before just empty words?"
"We'll sue him and make him pay the penalty for breach of contract."
"The litigation process can take one to two years, and before we even receive the liquidated damages, the company has already gone bankrupt."
The company's executives had a heated discussion in the office, but none of them could come up with a practical solution.
It seems the Sun family is serious about taking action against Huo Beichen this time.
"Mr. Huo," someone suddenly said, "why don't you try to deal with Miss Sun first? We can't just sit here and wait to be killed!"
"How do we handle this?" Huo Beichen asked.
"First, let Miss Sun persuade Mr. Sun not to withdraw his investment."
"You're making Mr. Huo get a divorce."
"Mr. Huo, have you forgotten how difficult it was for the company to reach its current size?"
"That's right, Mr. Huo. The company isn't just your hard work; we've all put in the effort too!"
Huafei was speechless.
It turns out that so many people in the company opposed Huo Beichen's marriage to her.
Why is Huo Beichen so determined to go his own way?
Just then, footsteps sounded from the elevator; someone else was arriving.
Hua Fei considered avoiding him, but the other person was quick and spotted her immediately: "Madam?"
The person who came was Huo Beichen's trusted assistant.
His greeting silenced the entire office.
A figure stepped out, his deep eyes looking at Hua Fei with a faint smile, "Why are you here?"
It's Huo Beichen.
Hua Fei forced a smile and said, "I came to see you."
The other people in the office also came out. After confirming that Hua Fei was really there, they looked embarrassed and avoided eye contact.
Hua Fei smiled at them and said, "Everyone's very busy."
“A little,” Huo Beichen continued, “the Sun family and the bank people are here, and they’re going to have a meeting soon.”
"Are you worried that I can't handle it?" Huo Beichen then asked.
"No, I just came to take a look." She shook her head. "You go ahead and do your work, I won't bother you anymore."
After she finished speaking, she took two steps back.
However, he grabbed her hand. "Come with me to the conference room. Didn't you come here to check on me?"
All eyes in the room instantly turned to her.
Her cheeks gradually flushed, even if she tacitly agreed that she had come to show concern for him.
"I think I'll skip this important meeting," she said, shaking her head.
To be honest, she didn't want to see him being "publicly executed."
Moreover, when something happens at the company, people will focus their attention on her.
“You are Mrs. Huo now, so the company’s affairs are your affairs.” He held her hand tightly and pulled her towards the conference room.
The others glared at each other, and for a moment, no one moved.
"Managers, let's go," the assistant said. "Mr. Sun and the people from the bank have arrived."
Mr. Sun and several bank executives were already seated in the conference room.
They exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly about their goals for the day.
Unexpectedly, Huo Beichen arrived, accompanied by a woman.
Sun's father's eyes blazed with anger.
The bank executives also looked grim, their expressions revealing contempt.
Today is a critical moment for the Huo family, and Huo Beichen actually brought a woman with him.
It's not that they look down on them, it's that they don't care about the company's affairs.
They unanimously decided that they would make sure Huo was completely dead later!
The company executives who followed them in immediately sensed the tension in the air, and their palms were sweating.
"Let me introduce you all," Huo Beichen said, ignoring the tense atmosphere in the conference room, as he put his arm around Hua Fei's slender waist. "This is my wife, Ms. Hua Fei, a highly skilled doctor."
Sun's father and the bank staff dismissed it with disdain.
One of the bank's managers asked, "Highly skilled in medicine? How highly skilled? Can he bring the dead back to life?"
The provocation in his tone was undisguised.
Huo Beichen wasn't angry. He smiled and glanced at Hua Fei. "Wife, someone is questioning your medical skills. What do you suggest we do?"
Huafei was speechless.
I knew Huo Beichen wasn't so kind; he was setting a trap for her.
If she tries to just laugh it off and doesn't fight or compete, people will only look down on her.
Huo Beichen wanted her to take the lead and help him gain momentum.
By helping him, she was also helping herself.
Therefore, Huo Beichen was always the most cunning one.
“What does it matter?” Hua Fei walked up to the bank manager who had spoken and smiled. “I really can’t bring the dead back to life.”
"What...what do you want to do?" The person in charge became nervous when he saw her cold gaze.
Hua Fei's smile deepened: "But I can try to make a living person die."
No one saw clearly what Huafei did.
But the person in charge suddenly started convulsing, his eyelids rolled upwards several times, and then he slumped onto the table without moving.
"Ah!" Everyone was extremely surprised.
Mr. Sun immediately shouted, "What are you doing! Get the security guards to arrest her!"
"Why are you so angry, Mr. Sun? I didn't do anything." Hua Fei raised her hands and spread them out.
At this moment, the person in charge moved, stirred a few times, straightened up, and looked at everyone as if he had just woken up, "Wh...what's wrong?"
Everyone wanted to know what was going on, and a chill ran down their spines.
The look in his eyes towards Hua Fei no longer held a trace of contempt.
"Hahaha," Huo Beichen laughed, "Don't panic, everyone. I just had my wife perform a magic trick."
Sweat rolled down the foreheads of some people.
Huo Beichen stepped forward, took Hua Fei's hand, and helped her sit down at the conference table.
He gently pressed his hands on her shoulders and looked at everyone: "Now, who's going to speak?"
The heads of several banks all turned to look at Sun's father.
Mr. Sun said sternly, “Huo Beichen, if you are ungrateful, don’t blame me for turning my back on you. I am preparing to withdraw all of the Sun family’s investments from the Huo family!”
The bank manager continued, "Mr. Huo, the first two installments of your loan have long since matured. Please repay them as well."
The other officials shared the same opinion.
“Business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships,” Huo’s vice president hurriedly said. “President Sun, many of the projects we’ve been working on together are already halfway done. If we withdraw now, you’ll suffer losses too.”
“That’s right, Mr. Sun,” another company vice president chimed in, “Miss Sun is the daughter of the Sun family. Even if she doesn’t marry our Mr. Huo, she still has plenty of suitors. There’s absolutely no need for personal matters to affect business!”
Father Sun sneered: "You want to beg me? Fine, make Huo Beichen kneel down and beg me, then I might consider it!"
