Chapter 214: The Nature of Tsundere
This was at a banquet held by Zhang's family. Although Lin Yilan disliked this man, wouldn't it be a bad idea to just go up and beat him up?
Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng and didn't take any action immediately. The man watched the interaction between Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan, and the pent-up anger in his heart was instantly ignited.
"What a joke! Mr. Huo is the most outstanding CEO of the Huo family, yet he actually said such a thing? I know that Miss Lin is rumored to be a martial arts expert, but we live in a society ruled by law now. What do Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo mean by this?"
Huo Juncheng ignored the man who was now furious. He looked at Lin Yilan and tilted his head. "If you don't want to, forget it." After saying that, he pulled Lin Yilan and was about to walk out.
Seeing this, Lin Yilan felt that Huo Juncheng didn't seem to be joking. Since Huo Juncheng didn't care, why should she care? Lin Yilan had long disliked this man.
Thinking of this, Lin Yilan rushed over and punched the man. The man didn't expect Lin Yilan to really hit him. After being punched, he fell to the ground.
Lin Yilan looked at the man's embarrassed appearance and shrugged. If she hadn't been wearing a skirt today, which restricted her ability to perform, she wouldn't have let this man take advantage of her for nothing.
Huo Juncheng looked at the man's miserable appearance, walked up to him, bent down and whispered something to him. The man's face changed drastically, and his anger was completely gone. Instead, he looked as pale as a piece of white paper.
Back in the car, Lin Yilan couldn't help but be curious and asked, "What did you just say to that man? Why did he look angry just now? His expression changed drastically after you finished talking to him?"
Hearing Lin Yilan's words, Huo Juncheng lowered his head to look at his phone and did not answer Lin Yilan's question. Lin Yilan looked at Huo Juncheng like this, curled her lips in dissatisfaction, and then asked, "Do you have any handle on that Mr. Zhang?"
Hearing this, Huo Juncheng's assistant, who was sitting in the passenger seat, spoke up, "Is Mrs. Huo referring to Mr. Zhang, the real estate tycoon?"
"Huh? I don't know what he does. He's the man who organized this party."
Lin Yilan didn't expect that the assistant sitting in front of her would actually answer her question.
"Yes, it's this man, Mr. Zhang from the real estate business. Mr. Huo and I have always felt that Mr. Zhang's conduct is questionable. Although cooperating with him is the best option among all partners, if this person's conduct is not up to standard, we absolutely cannot cooperate with him."
Hearing the assistant say this, Lin Yilan nodded in agreement. "I always thought businessmen only cared about profits, and nothing else mattered. But I didn't expect they would also consider character."
"Haha, you're joking, Madam. Of course, not everyone will cooperate. And really, it's all about profit."
"Well, what do you mean?"
"Young Madam, think about this. If a businessman is exposed for cheating, it will definitely have a huge impact on his company. If we cooperate with him, it will also have a very negative impact on our own interests."
Hearing the assistant say this, Lin Yilan smiled and said, "So it's actually because of interests, right?"
The assistant scratched his head awkwardly. "It's normal for businesspeople to prioritize profits, right? Besides, if it weren't for profit, who would bother collaborating with others?"
"That's right." Lin Yilan smiled, agreeing with what the assistant had just said. "I used to think that money was enough as long as I had enough. It wasn't until Siran and I opened a milk tea shop together and gradually understood the business world that I realized how difficult it is to run a company. The more you want to earn, the more you have to invest."
Lin Yilan was originally just expressing her feelings about the milk tea shop incident these days. After Huo Juncheng listened to her, he couldn't help but look up at Lin Yilan. He didn't expect that the once naive and ignorant Lin Yilan would actually have such insights.
He always thought that Lin Yilan didn't like the fast-paced life in the city. Huo Juncheng felt that even if Lin Yilan and Chu Siran opened a milk tea shop, it was just a whim. A girl like Lin Yilan would definitely not be able to adapt to these things.
But he didn't expect that Lin Yilan would have such an understanding. It seems that he now needs to get to know Lin Yilan who is slowly adapting to city life.
When the assistant heard Lin Yilan mention the milk tea shop, she quickly brought up the spokesperson issue. "Speaking of the milk tea shop, Mr. Huo asked me a few days ago to find two spokespersons who would suit the image of the milk tea shop. I've already found them, but I just don't have your contact information. Mr. Huo is busy with these collaborations right now, so I haven't had time to talk to him."
The assistant said as he opened his briefcase and pulled out a rather thick stack of documents. "Young Madam, this is the candidate I've been looking for these past two days. You can discuss this with Miss Chu when you have time to officially finalize the selection. Once you've made your choice, let me know and leave the rest to me."
Hearing the assistant say this, Lin Yilan scratched her head awkwardly. "Um... I'm sorry, Siran and I have discussed this matter. We mean that this endorsement matter should be put on hold for now. There's no rush. Now is not the time to ask for an endorsement."
"That's okay. The young lady can take a look and decide on a backup candidate first."
Lin Yilan knew that it was not easy for Huo Juncheng's assistant to do these things, so she took the documents and began to look through them carefully. Just as the assistant said, even if they didn't discuss the endorsement now, they would need it in the future.
"Oh my god, you're amazing! These documents are so detailed! I didn't even know this actress had plastic surgery. I was even discussing with Siran about hiring her as a spokesperson, but I never expected that. I really didn't expect that... You're really into these things, right? How do you know everything?"
"No, I'm a grown man, how could I possibly follow the entertainment industry every day? I just looked up information these past two days. If I can't do these things well, how can I work for Mr. Huo..."
"You two have been talking all this time, are you done yet?"
The assistant was feeling a bit smug at Lin Yilan's admiring gaze and was about to say something, but was ruthlessly interrupted. He had been so engrossed in the conversation with Lin Yilan that he had forgotten his boss was sitting behind him.
The assistant glanced at Huo Juncheng through the car mirror and couldn't help shuddering, fearing that he had made Huo Juncheng angry because of his talk just now. If his salary was deducted because of this, he would be in trouble.
However, seeing that Huo Juncheng still had a stern face but did not seem angry, the assistant breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
