In reality, even if he did not rely on Xia Sheng, Huo Ye would not have fallen to the point of being a freeloader. However, he was the same as Xia Sheng, hiding things in his heart.

When they left, it was still the assistant who took them back to the villa.

On the way, Xia Sheng looked at Huo Ye with a serious expression. “If you encounter such things again in the future, you have to inform me. You can’t act on your own!”

“But I left you a note.” Huo Ye didn’t mind.

Xia Sheng immediately made a cross, expressing her displeasure. “Leaving a note doesn’t count, I want you to report to me face to face!”

Huo Ye’s heart warmed and he laughed softly. “I’ve already settled it, I won’t make you worry again.”

Before Xia Sheng arrived, he had analyzed the current situation with Old Master Huo and even fabricated a non-existent partner. Using Y Corporation’s Yu Zhizhou as a cover, he forcefully suppressed the Huo Family, forcing Old Master Huo to change his mind.

After explaining to Xia Sheng, he smiled and said, “I still have some connections.”

Y Corporation was a new company that he operated under an alias, and it was not something the current Huo Family could deal with. No matter how forceful Old Master Huo was to make things difficult for him, he had to consider whether the Huo Family could go against Y Corporation. Otherwise, they would have made an enemy, and the entire Huo Family would be annihilated because of the benefits in front of them.

Xia Sheng was speechless and did not ask Huo Ye anymore. “There’s no second time.”

“Alright.” Huo Ye nodded, his eyes filled with gentleness that could drown someone. After interacting with Xia Sheng for a long time, he gradually realized that the other party was special, not just those layers of mysterious identity.

Not long after, Xia Sheng received a call from Old Master Huo. This time, she did not treat the phone call as an advertisement call and answered the phone.

After experiencing so many setbacks, Old Master Huo sounds much older. “I’ll leave the Huo Corporation in your hands, I hope you can take good care of it in the future.” It was impossible to get the Huo Corporation back. Now, he could only place his hopes on Xia Sheng.

Xia Sheng did not give a definite answer and only asked, “Do you have anything else? If not, I’m hanging up.” As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly ended the call, not caring about how Old Master Huo would react.

When Huo Ye saw this, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. “Why didn’t you wait?”

“I’m not in the mood to talk nonsense with him.” Xia Sheng threw her phone away and squeezed herself to sit beside Huo Ye. “Let’s go to the Huo Corporation later to take a look. I haven’t been there even after acquiring the Huo Corporation for so long.”

Ever since she went to the Huo Family to support Huo Ye, she had yet to visit the Huo Corporation. She wondered if the Huo Corporation’s employees were ready.

Naturally, Huo Ye had no objections and had his assistant drive them to the Huo Corporation.

However, the Huo Corporation’s situation was much worse than she had expected. The moment she stepped into the Huo Corporation building, Xia Sheng was stunned by the deafening shouts and her ears hurt.

She saw a group of employees holding signs in their hands, shouting loudly at Xia Sheng and the others who had just entered, using their actions to express their dissatisfaction with the acquisition of the corporation. Such a blatant boycott of acquisitions was an unprecedented scene. Xia Sheng was puzzled for a moment.

“Tsk.” She rubbed her aching ears and couldn’t help but complain, “Is this the quality of Huo Corporation’s employees?”

Huo Ye was speechless. Most of the people in the Huo Corporation belonged to the Huo family. Now that the Huo Corporation was no longer under their control, they would definitely take action. They only needed a small operation to incite the Huo Corporation’s employees, and then the entire company would be paralyzed.

Looking at the messy company, Xia Sheng’s good mood was ruined. “I’ve finally seen that the subordinates imitate their superior’s vices!” If the employees could cause trouble so blatantly, it was easy to imagine how the leaders of the Huo Corporation were like.

Her eyes turned cold as she ordered in a low voice, “Make them all quiet down!”

With the order, the bodyguards who had been waiting for a long time started to clear the place, trying to maintain order and stabilize the troublemakers so that Xia Sheng could enter the company safely.

However, one of the employees took advantage of the opening and knocked the security guard away. “We will never compromise! The Huo Corporation will forever belong to the Huo Family!”

With someone taking the lead, the other employees rushed towards Xia Sheng as if they were on steroids, trying to chase away the people who acquired the corporation.

“We want to see Old Master Huo! Let him uphold justice for us!”

“Apart from Old Master Huo, no one else is worthy of presiding over the Huo Corporation!”

Everyone was shouting and there were only a few bodyguards, they were overwhelmed by the employees.

Even though Xia Sheng was very careful, she was almost pushed to the ground by the employees who suddenly rushed over, she avoided all kinds of documents with difficulty.

This time, Huo Ye was anxious, he ignored his inability to move and squeezed himself to Xia Sheng’s side. He stood up and kicked the wheelchair out. The employees who rushed over did not react in time. They all tripped over the wheelchair and fell to the ground. Huo Ye, on the other hand, hugged Xia Sheng tightly, shielding her from the things that were coming at her.

All of this happened in a split second. Xia Sheng looked at Huo Ye’s smooth actions and was completely shocked by this scene. She had never seen such a big reaction from Huo Ye before, and his figure was so dashing that her little heart started beating uncontrollably.

Huo Ye bent down and picked Xia Sheng up. Just like in the dramas, he carried her safely through the crowd to a clean place to put her down.

In just a short while, the people who had fallen all got up, but the wheelchair that Huo Ye threw out was damaged. Some employees saw the culprit behind all this and rushed forward indignantly.

Xia Sheng quickly reacted when she stood up, she snatched the pen from the other party’s hand and turned her hand to press it against the employee’s neck.

“Everyone, quiet down!” She shouted and the staff who was being held hostage shivered, everyone else was stunned. Xia Sheng struck while the iron was hot and continued to threaten, “If anyone dares to move again, I’ll stab this pen into his body!”

As expected, the employees were frightened by Xia Sheng. The group of people who were the fiercest at first hid like quails without saying a word.

“What… what are you going to do?” The employee was so scared that he couldn’t even speak properly.

Huo Ye stood beside Xia Sheng, protecting her. “All of you, apologize to President Xia. If you continue to mess around, just pack up and leave. The Huo Corporation doesn’t need employees who don’t listen to Boss’ orders!”

Apologizing was a small matter. The most important thing now was to let Xia Sheng establish her prestige and intimidate these troublemakers. However, these employees had been used as tools by others, and the real mastermind was someone else..
