en flock to Fu Hanlin. If he didn't put out a little word, the threshold of the Fu family would be trampled flat.”She sat down and said in a heavy tone, "Although my mother can be clueless sometimes,...Finally, I waited until General Lei was free. Fu Yan stepped forward proactively, "General Lei, hello, I'm Fu Yan from the new project department."

The man pondered for a few seconds, his eyes holding something Fu Yan couldn't understand. Then he smiled and reached out to shake her hand. "So, Miss Fu, it's nice to meet you."

"I didn't want to bother you before since Mr. Lei was busy, but I happened to run into him today. Would you be available for a quick chat"

His eyes scanned the documents in her hands. This wasn't a coincidence, it was premeditated.

Looking through him, but not saying it, the man smiled: "I'm sorry, Miss Fu. Xin Cheng is not within our selection range. I'm afraid you've made a wasted trip today."

Even though Qiqing had greeted Fu Yan and the others beforehand, the people at Huo's Group project department looked down on everyone else. Industry insiders didn't dare say much either; after all, Huo's Group had the power to do so.

The other party didn't even give any room for discussion, which made Fu Yan feel puzzled.

"In recent years, the growth rate has been incredibly fast. There's a constant emergence of talented individuals, and new forms of collaboration have become the norm. Perhaps Director Lei could take a look at our proposal first before making a decision"

Fu Yan's words were indeed captivating, the current marketplace belongs to the youth. But Mr. Lei remained steadfast and politely declined: "I'm sorry, Miss Fu."

Fu Yan's eyes flashed, missing not the fleeting awkwardness that crossed Lei Zongjian's face, "Director Lei, is there something you're finding difficult to say"

Lei, the director, froze. Fu Yan's heart pounded with 80% certainty, "Was that Huo Zong's idea"

As a veteran of the Huo Group, Director Lei's seniority is comparable to that of Huo Mingzheng's father. Besides Huo Mingzheng, who else in the entire Huo family could command his respect

And the man's silence also confirmed her guess.

"It's not that I want to see the other party embarrassed," Fu Yan said, understandingly. "I apologize for bothering you, General Lei."

"Ms. Fu," the man called out to her. Ms. Fu understood his predicament, and he also understood the young girl's difficulties.

"Mr. Huo probably means he wants you to personally discuss the cooperation with him."

Fu Yan's heart sank to the bottom of her stomach, but she kept a composed face. "Thank you," she said.

Turning back, Fu Jing saw her dejected. “Not going well”

It's more than just not going smoothly, a disastrous start that ended with his own death before he could even accomplish anything. Today, Fu Yan truly experienced this firsthand.

"

Shall I tell my cousin

"

Fu Yan immediately shook her head. "You've already helped me a lot, and besides, if I can't even negotiate this cooperation, I wouldn't dare to face President Fu."

Moreover, she wanted the position of Deputy Director.

But as for Huo Mingzheng, it's impossible that he's only here to discuss cooperation. She could probably guess what he wants.

Fu Yan drank the fruit wine in one gulp.

The alcohol content seems a bit high tonight, it's just fruit wine, and she's actually a little drunk. It's really strange.

Fu Jing reminded his mother to drink less, and when he returned to find Fu Yan, she was leaning against the sofa, supporting her forehead, with flushed cheeks as if drunk.

His heart softened, and he whispered to her, "Shall I take you home"

Fu Yan opened her hazy eyes and, noticing someone approaching, instinctively went on guard. When she saw that the man before her was Fu Jing, she blinked.

Suddenly, a wave of heat surged through my body, and my mind became hazy.

She vaguely realized something was wrong, but couldn't pinpoint what it was, and couldn't bring herself to speak.

Fu Jing saw her so drunk, he felt both helpless and adorable. He helped her up from the sofa. Luckily, Fu Yan was very well-behaved when she was drunk, she didn't move around or talk nonsense.

"I sent her back."

Ji Qing recognizes Fu Jing and trusts Ji Lin, "Then I'll trouble you."spoken, no one else dared to voice an opinion and treated Fu Yan as if she didn't exist.After the meeting ended, the managers all left the conference room. No one reminded Fu Yan that she could leave....
