“This is more like it.” Huo Man chuckled and looked down at Huo Yan. She picked up her glass and drank the champagne.

Huo Yan felt so wronged that she ran away from the scene with tears in her eyes.

As Huo Yan’s father, Huo Cheng’s mind was not on his beloved little daughter. Instead, he turned to Chen Tao and said with a smile, Professor Chen, you’re so close to Manman. Why don’t you… consider working with my company?”

Huo Man frowned when she heard the name ‘Manman’.

Huo Cheng was really flexible. Just a second ago, he and the Huo family were calling her a jinx, saying that it was embarrassing to bring her to such an occasion. Now, they were getting closer and closer, and it was the first time he called her so intimately.

Huo Man felt disgusted.

Chen Tao ignored Huo Cheng and looked at Huo Man with a smile. “Miss Huo, it’s too noisy here. This way please, let’s go somewhere quieter to talk.”

As he said that, Chen Tao bowed and made a “please” gesture.

The only person present who could make Chen Tao act like this was probably Huo Man!

Huo Man glanced at Huo Cheng’s ashen face and turned to leave.

Chen Tao sent his assistant to attend to the guests. He followed Huo Man and disappeared from people’s sight.

“Huo Cheng, what were you doing just now? How could you hit Huo Yan?” Liang Yu only dared to speak after Chen Tao and Huo Man left.

Huo Cheng glared at Liang Yu and scolded, “Can’t you see it now? Professor Chen and Huo Man have a close relationship. Offending Huo Man is the same as offending Professor Chen! Huo Yan shouldn’t have said that, she deserved to be beaten!”

When Liang Yu heard this, she silently shut her mouth.

Indeed, no matter how stupid she was, she could see that Huo Man and Chen Tao had a good relationship.

“Who is Huo Man? She even knows Professor Chen.” Huo Cheng muttered to himself, feeling that this matter was not simple.

Shen Bei, who was silently watching the entire scene, had the same doubts as Huo Cheng.

He was only there at the request of his family to join in the fun and entertain the guests, but he did not expect to see such a good show.

Shen Bei had long thought that Huo Man was not a simple country girl, but he did not expect Chen Tao to respect her so much.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a faint arc, which was noticed by Xu Feng, who had accompanied him.

Shen Bei actually smiled? Or was it for that woman? He couldn’t be tempted, right?

Just as Xu Feng was trying to guess his boss’s thoughts, Shen Bei looked at him.

“Young Master Shen, do you need me to investigate?”

Shen Bei did not even need to speak for Xu Feng to guess what he was thinking.

“Yes.” Shen Bei nodded.

Then, he looked up in the direction where Huo Man had left, his eyes unfathomable.

Chen Tao took Huo Man to a quiet and elegant study. After Huo Man sat down, Chen Tao slowly sat down beside her, still smiling.

“Miss Huo, I’m really sorry for not welcoming you today! I didn’t expect the Huo family to be so rude to you and even make you unhappy!” Chen Tao stood up immediately and apologized to Huo Man. Miss Huo, if you want to scold or punish me, do as you please!”

Looking at Chen Tao’s expression, Huo Man felt that it was a little too much, and hurriedly said, “It’s okay, hurry and sit down.”

Chen Tao sat down again after Huo Man urged.

“Miss Huo, I’ve been waiting for you.” After Chen Tao sat down, he went straight to the point.

“Oh?” Huo Man raised an eyebrow.

“Miss Huo, many business partners wanted to work with me to get the brain-computer interaction technology,” Chen Tao said. “As you know, the wind in the yuan universe is very strong now.”

“But I want to work with you.”

Huo Man had the same idea, but she didn’t expect Chen Tao to bring it up.

“If it weren’t for you, this technology wouldn’t exist. This belongs to you.” Chen Tao continued, seeing that Huo Man had not spoken.

Huo Man was straightforward. She stood up and walked out as she replied, “Alright, I’ll come back in two days to discuss the cooperation.”

Chen Tao hurriedly sent Huo Man out of the study and let out a long sigh of relief.

Everyone praised him for being a great scientist, but they didn’t know that his technology was also guided by an expert.

And this master was the mysterious H that many people had heard of, also known as Huo Man!
