243 I Am Willing to go into Exile with You (2)
A bunch of middle-aged ladies followed him with banners that wrote, “The Huo’s are evil capitalists who eat you whole . ” At the same time, the mass media reported on it .
-Inside the Huo Corporation Headquarters, in the CEO’s office –
“President Huo, what are we going to do now?” Huo Siqian’s assistant was overwhelmed with this turn of events .
Huo Siqian’s face was dark, and he remained silent…
His men just found out that Du Zhili had already left the country .
If he went anywhere else, it would’ve been easier finding him, but he went to the Golden Triangle, which was a very dangerous place . People could really disappear there .
Du Zhili had been working for the corporation for quite a long time already, and the sudden news outbreak took Huo Siqian by surprise .
Three billion wasn’t a lot of money to him .
However, the real impact came from the reaction of society and stakeholders .
Also, the swings in Huo Corporation’s stocks .
“President Huo, do you think Qin Chu ordered this? He had always been our arch-nemesis, maybe he paid off Du Zhili to harm us . That is a possibility . ”
“What about Du Zhili’s house?” Huo Siqian asked coldly .
“It’s empty . His bank accounts are empty and his properties were all sold . It was clearly planned . President Huo, we were set up . This was no coincidence . ”
“I obviously know that this was not coincidental . ” Huo Siqian’s face was dark .
“What do we do now? Those people are still causing a ruckus, it’s bad for our image . Should we chase them away?”
“No, they’re just small pawns, they can’t cause a storm…” Huo Siqian waved his hand .
The Huo Corporation fell into a crisis . Although Huo Siqian didn’t feel great, he wasn’t as afraid or anxious as others thought he would be .
After all, he had seen everything .
-Inside C City’s Hilton Hotel restaurant –
Huo Yanyan was wearing a fiery red evening gown with her hair done up . Shen Mingxi was the opposite of her .
“This is for you, I don’t know if you’ll like it . ” Shen Mingxi pushed a delicate box towards her .
It had the Dior logo on it . Huo Yanyan smiled shyly . “What is it?”
“Open it and see . ”
Huo Yanyan slowly opened the box . Inside was a pair of white pearl earrings with a lace coat . It was beautiful .
“It’s so cute . ”
“I heard that it’s limited edition, I think it suits you . ”
“Thank you, Mingxi . ” Huo Yanyan smiled .
“Can I help you put them on?” Shen Mingxi said and walked over . He carefully put the pearl earrings on Huo Yanyan . “Does it hurt?” Shen Mingxi gently asked .
“No, I’ve had these piercings for years . They healed a long time ago, don’t stress it,” Huo Yanyan bit her lips and smiled . “Did you see the news surrounding the Huo Corporation?” when Shen Mingxi returned to the seat, he suddenly asked . “Uh, do you mean what broke out today?” Huo Yanyan asked .
“Mhm . ”
“You saw it too, your company must’ve lost a lot too . I saw that the stolen money was a part of your company’s funds…” Huo Yanyan asked, a bit concerned as well .
“That’s unimportant . What’s important is that Huo Siqian is starting to fall…” Shen Mingxi slowly said each and every word .
Huo Yanyan heard that and didn’t reply . She didn’t know why Shen Mingxi was saying stuff like that . Was he testing the waters?”
Yanyan, I know you hate Huo Siqian . I will avenge you,” Shen Mingxi looked at Huo Yanyan and sincerely said .
Huo Yanyan was slightly stunned, she was even a little afraid . She had never mentioned revenge, and she was even extra careful in front of him . Could it be that someone told her?
