Chapter 447: Dead or Alive
"Mr. Zhang, let's not beat around the bush. Just tell us what's going on!" Huo Juncheng and Song Siyu didn't know each other at all, so it was impossible for her to speak for him.
What's more, they are now cooperating! Cooperation is all about interests.
A few minutes later, the assistant came in holding the previous documents. "Mr. Huo, the appraisal has been completed. There is no problem with this contract. You can sign it."
no problem!
This is the biggest problem!
Mr. Zhang is known in the industry for being difficult to work with and talk to... And he actually said there was no problem with his contract? Would he give up so much for a woman? This is money, money that can do anything!
Huo Juncheng's expression was vague as he kept thinking about the relationship between Song Siyu, Chu Xi and Mr. Zhang.
Since Song Siyu is Mr. Bai's tool, Chu Xi certainly wouldn't forgive her. So, there's no reason for Mr. Zhang to lower his status for a prostitute. Talking about feelings? Isn't that too childish?
Recently, Qin Chaotian and Chu Xi have both disappeared after the incident fermented, and have not appeared in the public eye. Is the sudden disappearance of these two people also related to Mr. Bai? Is all this manipulated by Mr. Bai behind the scenes?
A series of questions lingered in Huo Juncheng's mind. He looked at the contract in front of him but didn't know whether he should sign it.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Mr. Zhang was very surprised: "You won't sign?"
"Can I give you an answer in three days?" he asked.
Mr. Zhang almost laughed at him. "Answer me in three days? Are you sure it will take three days for such a good thing?"
"Well, just three days." He needs to use these three days to investigate the interests involved before deciding whether he wants to wade into this muddy water.
"OK!" Mr. Zhang readily agreed. "It's good for young people to be cautious. Mr. Huo, I've always admired you. I'll give you three days! I'll wait for you to notify me. Let's talk about the cooperation in three days."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."
"You're welcome. That's all for today. I have a party to go to this afternoon."
"Okay, I'm busy now so I won't see you off."
Huo Juncheng watched Mr. Zhang leave, then asked his assistant to make a video call to Lin Yilan. Lin Yilan answered the call quickly. Behind her was a long queue of customers waiting to buy from her milk tea shop.
His voice was gentle, deep, and melodious, like a cello: "Isn't the milk tea shop business finished yet?"
"It's done. Now I finally know why my milk tea shop is so deserted! I have already caught the culprits, don't worry!" Lin Yilan patted her chest proudly.
Huo Juncheng hesitated for a while, still not knowing how to start.
Is it really okay to ask out another of Lin Yilan's best friends in front of her?
"Are you free this afternoon? I'll ask my assistant to pick you up. Can you bring Chu Siran with you?" Huo Juncheng almost gritted his teeth and squeezed out each word from between his teeth.
"Ah? Chu Siran? Do you have something to do with her?"
"Yes, I do."
Lin Yilan knew Huo Juncheng's character too well, so she didn't think much about it and agreed directly: "Okay, you can tell me a time, as long as Chu Siran is free."
Huo Juncheng asked his assistant and sent Lin Yilan his free time. He didn't actually have any personal business with Chu Siran; he just wanted to use her relationship with Chu Xi to find Song Siyu.
…
Chu Siran even put on some makeup and waited at the place Lin Yilan mentioned very early.
Lin Yilan had even made up a lie to ask her out, saying she was introducing her to someone. Chu Siran ordered a drink and sat there like a lady. When she looked up, she saw Lin Yilan and Vivian walking towards her, arm in arm.
The three sisters haven't had a good time together since they parted ways with the crew. Seeing Vivian next to Lin Yilan, Chu Siran couldn't help feeling a little lost.
The blind date you were promised turned out to be a woman?
Vivian also noticed that Chu Siran's expression was not good, and she deliberately asked Lin Yilan in a low voice: "Did I offend Chu Siran in some way?"
"No, no, this girl is having sexual thoughts."
Vivian was confused: "Aphrodisiac?"
Lin Yilan smiled mysteriously and changed the subject: "Well, you don't know, this girl can't be asked out unless she's thinking about love." In fact, it was not the case. Lin Yilan couldn't find a reason to see Chu Siran! So she made an excuse for herself. After Chu Xi's incident, Lin Yilan really looked down on Chu Siran in her heart.
The three sisters hadn't even sat down yet when Huo Juncheng arrived in a hurry.
He came to discuss business seriously, and he had never thought that Lin Yilan would bring someone with her! And it was Vivian!
Huo Juncheng was furious when he saw Vivian. It was almost known to the whole world that this woman was a lesbian. He had already helped Lin Yilan clarify it once, so why did Lin Yilan get involved with her again?
He remained calm in front of everyone, but became very happy when he saw Vivian.
He was afraid that Vivian couldn't tell that he hated her, so his brows were furrowed deeply!
"You're here too." Huo Juncheng pointed at Vivian, threw out a cold remark, and sat down next to Lin Yilan.
Lin Yilan knew their relationship too well. To avoid making the atmosphere awkward, she nudged Huo Juncheng with her elbow. "It's fine. We're all friends. Can you please not make things difficult for me?"
Huo Juncheng gave her a cold look and ignored her. He turned around and started chatting with Chu Siran: "Chu Siran, how are your sister Chu Xi and Qin Chaotian doing recently?"
"Oh, the sun is rising from the west, and even the great CEO Huo is starting to gossip?" Chu Siran mocked him and then deliberately kept him in suspense: "Hehe, I won't tell you!"
Huo Juncheng: "..."
Lin Yilan observed Huo Juncheng's facial expression out of the corner of her eye. Once she noticed that he was moody, she immediately kicked Chu Siran with her foot, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
"Ah, it hurts!" Chu Siran looked at Lin Yilan as if she was crazy: "Why did you kick me!"
"Answer Huo Juncheng's questions carefully. The reason I'm looking for you today is mainly because Huo Juncheng wants to see you." Lin Yilan shrugged.
"Looking for me? What do you want from me?"
Huo Juncheng took a deep breath and asked patiently, "I want to know the relationship between Chu Xi and Song Siyu." He didn't hide anything, "Our company is currently bidding on a land project, and the other party's partner is willing to lower their own by one percentage point to cooperate with our company. They said that Song Siyu is doing me a favor, but I don't even know Song Siyu! We've never had any private contact."
"Song Siyu..." the three women said almost in unison.
Lin Yilan remembered who this woman was. Wasn't she the one who represented the powerful multinational corporation, Mr. Bai?
"I don't know her. What are you thinking? How could you ask me about Chu Xi? Don't you think our Chu family is too chaotic? I don't have much contact with Chu Xi, so I don't know what's going on." Chu Siran was afraid that his explanation would not be convincing, so he continued, "To be honest, President Huo! My sister has been missing for two or three days. I was just wondering whether to report her to the police, and you come to ask her again."
"Missing?"
"Yeah, I picked up a courier and he suddenly disappeared. Now I don't know if he's dead or alive!"
