Chapter 754: Cooperation Intercepted

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Huo Corporation had suffered a few consecutive blows recently. The new employees had jumped ship, and then the project was snatched away. For a moment, the company couldn’t help but discuss.

“What’s going on recently? I keep feeling that everyone in the company is acting strange.”

“It’s all because of the previous matter…”

“Our half-worked project was snatched away, leaving only the results to be picked up by others. Who wouldn’t be annoyed about this?”

“No wonder I saw that our President had a bad expression for the past few days.”

“Shh, stop talking. The President is here.”

Such conversations were common among the employees. At least, Ye Zhen had heard several versions of them when he passed by at work.

He followed behind Huo Yichen and passed by the employees. He gestured for them to work well with his eyes, then pressed the elevator button and followed the President out.

They had business to discuss today. Now was the time to go to the hotel with the other party.

However, when he thought of what had happened in the company recently, Ye Zhen had a bad feeling. He couldn’t tell what it was, but he felt uneasy all day. This premonition reached its peak when they arrived at the restaurant where the discussion was held.

When Ye Zhen pushed open the door of the private room in front of Huo Yichen, he never expected to see a once familiar face inside.

Huo Xiuyuan.

The name that appeared in his mind along with the familiar face stunned Ye Zhen for a long time.

“Then, CEO Wang, let’s have a pleasant cooperation,” Huo Xiuyuan said.

A smiling voice came from CEO Wang’s side. “Then I’ll leave first. I’m also very happy to be able to work with Ailend Company this time.”

Then, Ye Zhen saw his business partner, CEO Wang, who was supposed to be discussing with them, come out of the room. Then, he looked at the two of them and left the event location awkwardly.

Was he intercepted? By Huo Xiuyuan?

Ye Zhen looked at Huo Xiuyuan who had appeared in front of him and couldn’t wrap his head around it.

Huo Yichen and Ye Zhen were standing outside. After Huo Xiuyuan finished speaking with CEO Wang, he turned around as if he had just discovered them.

The moment he saw Huo Yichen, he raised his hand leisurely and greeted him, not surprised at all.

“Long time no see.”

Seeing Huo Xiuyuan appear in front of him, Huo Yichen’s expression was still calm.

They were finally here.

As expected, he thought to himself before speaking.

“You’re more patient than I thought,” Huo Yichen commented as he looked at Huo Xiuyuan.

In fact, the series of strange problems that had happened in the Huo Corporation recently, including jumping ship, and even the last clues of the stolen projects some time ago, all pointed to that overseas company.

Although Ye Zhen didn’t come up with much effective information after the actual investigation, just the fact that it pointed to foreign countries and the other party’s familiarity with the Huo Corporation was enough for Huo Yichen to make a guess about the person behind it.

Other than Huo Xiuyuan, there should be no one else who was so familiar with the Huo Corporation and was very against him.

However, after hearing Huo Yichen’s words, Huo Xiuyuan pursed his lips slightly. “You’re still so calm after your collaboration was snatched away by me. You’re good at pretending.”

He had deliberately come over this time to snatch Huo Yichen’s cooperation in advance.

However, he didn’t expect that the moment they met and heard Huo Yichen’s arrogant tone and attitude, Huo Xiuyuan still felt a little uncomfortable.

However, things are different now. As long as Huo Xiuyuan thought about his current situation and the fact that he had just snatched Huo Yichen’s cooperation, he couldn’t help but smile smugly.

”1 didn’t expect you to still be sitting in the position of President. Looks like those people from the board of directors are really useless gits.”

Huo Xiuyuan commented bluntly that the board of directors didn’t seem to be as obedient as before.

His words were like an unceremonious admission. It was as if he had done those things previously.

Unfortunately, there was no evidence to prove this, so Huo Xiuyuan stood in front of Huo Yichen fearlessly and vented his pent-up emotions.

“I thought you would improve a little,” Huo Yichen said.

He sized up Huo Xiuyuan. “That’s all there is to it.”

“It’s better to be useless overseas for the rest of your life.”

It was unknown which point of his words hit Huo Xiuyuan’s sore spot, causing his smile to instantly turn cold.

Both sides stood at the door of the private room, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

It was a ringtone that broke the atmosphere.

Huo Xiuyuan took out his phone that was ringing and glanced at the caller ID.

His expression changed slightly, and he could only smile regretfully at Huo Yichen.

“Looks like catching up will have to wait for another day,” Huo Xiuyuan said.

With that, he ignored Huo Yichen’s reaction and turned to leave.

Ye Zhen watched him walk out. As he answered the call, he pushed open the door and got into a car.

As he was not close enough, he could only see that there seemed to be a girl sitting in the car. However, in the next second, after the car door closed, the other party left and he could no longer see her.

“President, we…” Ye Zhen said hesitantly.

They had come over to discuss a collaboration, but now, the collaboration had been snatched away by Huo Xiuyuan.

Huo Yichen maintained a straight face. “Let’s go back to the office first.”

If the board of directors found out about this, they would most likely cause trouble again.

Ye Zhen nodded and left, but he couldn’t help but think about Huo Xiuyuan.

It had been a few months since he last saw Huo Xiuyuan. Ever since Huo Yichen replaced Huo Hong and became the President of the Huo Corporation, there had been no news of Huo Xiuyuan, who had fled overseas.

It even made people think that he had died overseas. There was almost no news about him.

In the end, he didn’t expect him to appear in front of them today in such a way.

It was really difficult to not think too much about it.

Huo Yichen sat in the front passenger seat. Ye Zhen was driving in front. In the silence of the car, Huo Yichen suddenly spoke.

“Go and investigate the car and the people in it just now.”

When Huo Xiuyuan left just now, Huo Yichen noticed him. He seemed to be trying to please the girl in the car. This was something he had never seen before.

He thought of the other party’s confident state when he spoke to him, as well as how he had snatched the cooperation and become the boss of that overseas company.

Huo Yichen knew very well what Huo Xiuyuan’s ability was. With the fact that the other party was penniless and had fled overseas, it was impossible for him to obtain all of this by himself.

The key must be the people he came into contact with.

Yes, President.” Ye Zhen nodded and remembered this.

The actual situation was close to the mark, not far off.

After leaving the restaurant, Huo Xiuyuan got into the car.

However, other than him and the chauffeur, there was also a beautiful girl sitting in the back seat.

The girl clearly looked like a foreigner. Her facial features were deep, and she was beautiful. Her curly hair highlighted her maturity that didn’t belong to her age.

“Didn’t we agree that it would only take 20 minutes? Why did it take so long?”

The girl complained. As she spoke, she reached out and held Huo Xiuyuan’s arm intimately.

Huo Xiuyuan smiled and stroked her hair, admitting his mistake apologetically.

“I was delayed by something just now and met an acquaintance.”

“How about going to the restaurant you want to eat at? Kelly,” he suggested.

The girl called Kelly nodded happily.. “I haven’t tried the food here yet!”
