Chapter 383 Discovered He Had Been Blocked
Huo Yanmo deliberately spread the word, firstly to tell everyone that Shi Nian was his fiancée and that he was determined to stand by her, and secondly to clear away any obstacles to his marriage with her.
Whether these people oppose him or not is irrelevant to him. There will always be factions in the group; it's inevitable. Even if you eliminate the old ones, new ones will emerge.
He just didn't want to be constantly pointed at and wronged.
A moment later, Secretary Xu knocked on the door again.
"Chairman Zheng is here," Secretary Xu said.
Huo Yanmo nodded and told them to bring the people in.
Huo Yanmo and his entourage sat down on the sofa next to him, with Chairman Zheng standing on Huo Yanmo's side.
"Yanmo, what exactly is going on between you and Shi Nian?" Chairman Zheng asked.
Their views were similar to those of Huo Junhui and Huo Zhiyao, believing it was just a small-scale trial and error, but he still wanted to ask.
Huo Yanmo briefly explained the benefits of the project to the other party.
"As for the departure of core technical personnel," Huo Yanmo said, "there will always be a solution."
He won't talk about it now; he'll make the decision himself when necessary.
"Don't worry, Chairman Zheng. I love Shi Nian, and my marriage to Shi Nian doesn't conflict with her abilities," Huo Yanmo said with a smile. "Trust me, she's amazing."
Chairman Zheng nodded and patted Huo Yanmo on the shoulder: "It's good that you know what's going on. You're not young anymore, it's time for you to settle down and start a family."
Huo Yanmo nodded with a smile.
After Chairman Zheng left, Xu Cheng arrived.
Huo Yanmo and Xu Cheng chatted for a while.
Xu Cheng was also in a complete mess.
"I can't say anything about Gu Qian right now. After all, he's still in Country C focusing on his aunt's illness. Any trouble would be bad."
Gu Qian is Xu Cheng's friend and also the core technical staff member.
Huo Yanmo indicated that he understood.
"You can talk to Niannian more," Huo Yanmo said.
Xu Cheng nodded; he knew that Shi Nian had played a significant role in this matter.
"I need a straight answer," Huo Yanmo said. "If Gu Qian's mother's condition stabilizes, what are the chances of your technological breakthrough?"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Huo," Xu Cheng said confidently.
Xu Cheng is very confident in this area.
They originally wanted to hold back a big one, so they kept it very secret beforehand.
Two consecutive breakthroughs, multiple overseas orders.
With Gu Qian's technical support and Xu Cheng's business operation capabilities, the valuation could be skyrocketed with just a little effort.
Their original plan was to raise funds at that time, so that their shares would be more valuable.
It was only because of an accident involving Gu Qian's mother that things have come to this.
Huo Yanmo nodded, "It's good that you have a definite answer."
"I think you will be conducting multiple rounds of financing in the future, right?" Huo Yanmo continued to ask.
“Of course,” Xu Cheng replied.
Things like robots will definitely attract a lot of capital in the future.
"Okay, I understand," Huo Yanmo said with a smile.
The two exchanged a glance; wise people don't need to spell things out.
Xu Cheng chatted with Huo Yanmo for a while before leaving.
When they were on the first floor, someone blocked Xu Cheng's way.
"Mr. Xu, what did you and Mr. Huo talk about just now?"
Xu Cheng frowned slightly and glanced at the other person: "This is a matter between us."
"Haha, Mr. Xu, don't worry. We're not trying to pry into your secrets. It's just that Mr. Huo told us he wasn't going to invest in your company anymore, and we wanted to get some information from you, Mr. Xu," the man continued.
Xu Cheng gave the other person a deep look and said, "I haven't voted yet."
"Okay, okay," the man said with a smile, then turned and left.
Xu Cheng watched the other person leave, then glanced again in the direction of Huo Yanmo's office.
In the end, he said nothing and turned to leave.
...
The news of Xu Cheng's frequent visits to the Huo family's residence spread like wildfire.
Rumors circulated online that Huo Yanmo deliberately pressured Xu Cheng for Shi Nian's sake.
"Huo Yanmo really didn't act very decently. It was Shi Nian who caused this mess. He should accept the consequences of his bet."
"Yeah, why did Shi Nian insist on voting without even understanding the situation?"
"I wonder if they've been arguing yet?"
"I don't know. Aren't they saying that their relationship is very good? Huo Yanmo has publicly supported Shi Nian many times and is now putting pressure on Xu Cheng."
...
Time passed by just like that.
On the fourth day, Shi Nian took a plane to G country.
This news sparked heated discussions.
Lu's Building.
"What is she doing in Country G?" someone asked, puzzled.
"I don't know, maybe they want to try to salvage the relationship? Or maybe they want to run away and avoid trouble?" someone else said.
"In short, I feel that she can no longer stay in City A. If she fails this time, even if Huo Yanmo cleans up the mess for her, she will have to hide."
"Yes, I heard that Huo Yanmo is under a lot of pressure right now. The Huo Group's board of directors has already put pressure on him."
"Luckily, our CEO Lu divorced Shi Nian before, otherwise who knows what would happen now!"
...
People were talking amongst themselves around the corner when suddenly—
"Cough cough."
A cough rang out, and the whispering crowd turned around sharply to find that it was Zhou Zhiyu who had spoken.
Zhou Zhiyu was pushing Lu Yanzhi, who was in a wheelchair, past them.
The group was startled when they saw Lu Yanzhi, after all, they had just been talking about him.
"President Lu!"
"Hello, Mr. Lu!"
...
They greeted him one after another, all with their heads down, not daring to look at Lu Yanzhi's face.
Lu Yanzhi didn't say anything, but simply glanced at them up and down.
"Don't talk nonsense during work hours, don't you know that?" Zhou Zhiyu said.
Everyone apologized.
"Yes, we know we were wrong."
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry."
"We shouldn't talk behind your backs."
Lu Yanzhi didn't say anything, but let Zhou Zhiyu push him into the elevator and back to the president's office.
Zhou Zhiyu brought over a tablet and told Lu Yanzhi about Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo's situation.
Finally, Zhou Zhiyu added, "Miss Xinyi put in a lot of effort in this process."
Lu Yanzhi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Lu Yanzhi looked at the clouds moving rapidly across the sky, lost in thought.
Zhou Zhiyu has already left.
Lu Yanzhi sat here alone.
He had no idea what Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo were up to.
Under duress from the board of directors, Huo Yanmo actually decided not to help Shi Nian?
And her...
What are you doing in Country G right now?
What are her thoughts on Huo Yanmo's attitude now?
Will I be sad?
Lu Yanzhi lowered his eyes slightly and took out his phone.
Having found Shi Nian's contact information, he thought for a moment and then pressed the call button.
But soon a cold, electronic voice came through.
Lu Yanzhi frowned slightly.
He was blocked.
