Chapter 74

fall apart.Just then, there came a knock at the door."Mr. Huo, I bought the things back."Cao Yuan is back.Fu Yan's rationality returned instantly, and she raised her hand to push Huo Mingzheng away....The other party was probably not expecting this kind of move, or perhaps had never encountered it before, and fell silent for about two seconds.

Just when Fu Yan was thinking that Fu Hanlin didn't care about this amount of money, the man said: "Deduct it from your salary."

Then, he hung up the phone.

Fu Yan naturally knew it was impossible to deduct from her salary. Fu Hanlin wouldn't ask a woman for money, and of course, he also considered Fu Yan's feelings, being just the right amount of a gentleman.

In this regard, Fu Jing is very similar to him, truly worthy of being cousins.

So by evening she took a nap and woke feeling better, so she decided to bake a small cake. It wasn't expensive but it wasn't rude either. She couldn't just let the meal her friend made go uneaten.

She doesn't have any other skills, but she's pretty good at making cakes.

Fu Hanlin probably wouldn't like sweet things, so she made a four-inch sesame cake. It was the perfect size, with a mild flavor but a strong aroma.

......

As it neared quitting time, Ho called a meeting of the department heads.

Ho's mood was off, and the department heads were all on edge. They sat in the meeting room like they were on pins and needles.

Fortunately, it ended without incident. Although Huo Mingzheng had a cold face, he ultimately wouldn't bring his emotions to work or take them out on his subordinates. The meeting finally ended under the tense atmosphere.

Director Lei walked out of the meeting room and was stopped by the second assistant in the President's Office, "Director Lei, Mr. Huo requests your presence."

Director Lei's heart skipped a beat, his mind racing. But then he thought to himself that he hadn't really done anything wrong.

He entered the CEO's office.

Before the floor-to-ceiling windows was a spacious and imposing office desk. The black, atmospheric setting was bathed in a faint glow by the setting sun, giving an intangible sense of awe.

Especially the young man writing at the desk behind, an air of natural majesty and imposing presence emanates from him. His every move reveals an innate nobility. He has managed Huo Shi for five years, and under his leadership, the scale of Huo Shi has grown unprecedentedly large. Everyone in the group, from top to bottom, obeys him unquestioningly.

He walked to the desk and bowed respectfully, “Mr. Huo.”

"Hmm." The man shifted his gaze from the file, his voice cold. "How's the cooperation with Xincheng going"

Ho Mingzheng rarely intervenes in project matters in person, especially when it comes to newly established collaborations where everything is still in its early stages.

Although General Lei had some doubts, he still answered truthfully: "There are still some aspects of the design that need further exploration."

"What about the others" The man's eyes were dark as an abyss.

Anything else

Director Lei is a shrewd person. He has been working in the business world for thirty years, and although he can't fully understand the thoughts of those in power, he still manages to catch a glimpse or two.

Thinking of Miss Fu, being able to secure a deal from Huo Mingzheng's hands, he initially thought that the possibility of her being a competent young businesswoman was higher. After all, Huo Mingzheng was known for his integrity and was about to get married, making the other possibility extremely unlikely.

Now that Huo Mingzheng brought it up himself, he had a pretty good idea of what was going on.

He immediately replied, “Miss Fu's plan is well-prepared and her answers to all the questions are comprehensive. However, she seems to be unwell and declined our lunch invitation at noon.”

"Are you uncomfortable" Huo Mingzheng's eyes narrowed.

Didn't she refuse to have lunch with them just so she could go to the hospital with him

But she hung up the phone and tried to escape through the front door, but he caught her. She really didn't want to go to the hospital with him, so she must have been genuinely unwell when she left.

General Lei scrutinized Huo Mingzheng's face impassively, but unfortunately, Huo Mingzheng remained expressionless, giving away nothing.

He was undecided, but decided to tell the truth anyway and take a gamble.

"Looking at her, she probably has a cold and a fever. She was shivering during the meeting, but she insisted on finishing it before leaving. I reminded her to take a break, but she refused. According to the secretary, she even went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water to cool down."

Huo Mingzheng's eyes sank, and with a crack, the pen shaft broke directly in two in his hand. of a doorway and lit a cigarette.Ho Jingxu couldn't stand staying in confinement for long, and she came out to move around a few days early. Seeing Huo Mingzheng standing alone, she tightened her sha...
