"Does this have anything to do with you?" Qin Chu knew exactly what Huo Yanyan was trying to do, so his gaze looked colder by the second .
"I'm just asking, why are you getting angry, President Qin?" Huo Yanyan chuckled .
"I don't believe we're very close . You better not act like we are friends . " Upon finishing his words, Qin Chu turned on his heels and walked away, leaving Huo Yanyan to bite the dust .
Just as she was feeling a bit awkward for being left behind, Shen Mingxi walked over . "What's going on, Yanyan?"
"Oh, nothing, I was just talking to Qin Chu . "
"You are close with Qin Chu?" Shen Mingxi looked pleasantly surprised .

"We're okay . I'm close with Mian, so we would chat a little every time we meet," Huo Yanyan lied without blinking to make herself look good .
"I have a project that is looking for a development team . I heard GK has an excellent team under them; it would be amazing if we can work together . Yanyan, when you have the chance, can you introduce me to him?"
"I see, no problem . But, perhaps after a couple of days? Qin Chu and Mian are having some arguments; it's not good for me to bring this up right now . "
"Okay, no problem . " Like always, Shen Mingxi believed Huo Yanyan without a doubt .
The two of them had been rather a high key recently, especially now that the Huo Corporation was experiencing issues and Huo Siqian didn't have the time to deal with them .
To everyone's surprise, Su Yu also showed up at the party .

It had been a very long time since Su Yu last attended a business networking party like this . The fact that he showed up at the last minute pleasantly surprised the host .
A lot of the high profilers began to walk over to say hi . The moment everyone saw Su Yu, it was like they saw the God of Wealth, and they all hope they could get something out of him . Except for Qin Chu, of course .
"Hi, Mr . Su . " Shen Mingxi walked over awkwardly .
Surprisingly, Su Yu didn't even lift up an eyelid and ignored him like he was a sack of air . Ever since the last unpleasant encounter he had with Shen Mingxi, he had kept his word of having nothing to do with him .
He deleted him off of WeChat, blacklisted his Weibo account, and refused to take any of his calls . Any way of communication had been ruthlessly blocked .
Shen Mingxi not only lost Su Yu as his backing, but he had also gotten into an argument with his own family because of Huo Yanyan . Due to all of these events, his business progression hadn't been a smooth one .

He was hopeful that Su Yu would at the very least reply to him . After all, it was a public event . To his surprise, Su Yu didn't even bother giving him a nod and left him stranded in his own feeling of awkwardness .
"Mingxi, are you and Su Yu still fighting?" Huo Yanyan asked in a low voice as she noticed something odd was going on .
Shen Mingxi licked his lips . Feeling embarrassed, he smiled . "No, Mr . Su's got a rough temper, and he abhors evil as deadly foes . "
"What's with you? Why did you have to say those things? We all know Su Yu cares a lot about Huo Mian . "
"How was I supposed to know that woman ranked so highly in his heart? After all, she's another man's wife . " Shen Mingxi felt helpless .
"Keep your voice low . If Su Yu hears you again, we will both be finished . " Huo Yanyan looked around cautiously . She was afraid of offending Su Yu and did not dare to discuss Huo Mian's matters behind her back with Shen Mingxi .
After doing a quick loop around the venue, Su Yu walked over to Qin Chu with a glass of champagne .
"Good thing I bumped into you today, or else I'd have to pay you a visit to ask you something . "
"What is it?" Qin Chu glanced over at Su Yu and asked calmly .
"Are you close with Zhang Manlin?" Su Yu asked straightforwardly .
Upon hearing Zhang Manlin's name, Qin Chu hesitated for a moment and didn't reply directly . Instead, he asked, "How did you meet her?"
"It's a long story, not something I can explain in a sentence or two . But, I need to warn you to not let your guard down just because she looks like Huo Mian . I think, for the very same reason that they look alike, you should be extra alarmed . This woman, she's close with you and knows me too . Not only that, she also works right under Huo Mian . She racked up her brain to get into our circle, this whole thing feels a little…spooky," Su Yu cautioned Qin Chu .
