city y.

huo family villa.

huo xiwen received an invitation from su chen for the annual dinner of the hauptverwaltungsgebaude.

since the family was in the united states, she couldn't attend the dinner, so as the largest shareholder in the hautet group, she had to attend the dinner.

su chen hao sent her two invitation cards. although he did not say it explicitly, his intention was clear. he hoped that she would bring his partner along.

after huo xi wen received the invitation, he hesitated for a moment before he picked up his phone and dialed fu mujun's number.

the phone rang a few times before it connected, fu mujun's voice came from the phone, "xiwen, what's the matter?"

"that... i want to ask you, is there time for this friday night? " huo xiwen asked.

"this friday?" fu mujun spoke as if he was looking through his itinerary. after a while, he said, "there's a date, but if you want to ask me out, you can decline that date."

"this... "not so good." huo xiwen felt a little embarra.s.sed.

"nothing is more important than you. "tell me, what do you want me to do?" fu mujun said.

"that's right …" brother chen hao, his company is hosting an anniversary dinner this friday night. they invited me to attend and gave me two invitation cards. huo xiwen cautiously opened his mouth and invited him in.

"for dinner?" fu mujun repeated his invitation, seemingly hesitating.

"of course, if your matters are more important, you can do it first. it wouldn't matter if i go alone." huo xi wen immediately said, afraid that nie tian would make things difficult for him.

"alright, i'll go with you." fu mujun agreed to her invitation on the other end of the phone.

"really?" huo xiwen was very happy, and his voice also became excited.

"mm, when the time comes, i'll pick you up from the mansion. i still have matters to attend to here. let's not talk about it now, see you later." fu mujun hung up as he said.

huo xiwen put down his phone, his face filled with happiness.

on the other side of the phone, fu mujun's face gradually turned gloomy after putting down his phone.

"sir, are you really planning to go to a banquet at the hautén group?" the a.s.sistant asked as he noticed the unfriendly expression on his face.

"why not?" fu mujun raised his head and looked at the a.s.sistant as he asked.

"compared to su chen hao, he has such a good relationship with fu muyun. i'm a little worried that he will be able to see through you in front of him." the a.s.sistant said worriedly.

"it's not the first time i've met him. i was eating at the same table with him, and he didn't see anything wrong with it. would i be afraid of him now? furthermore, xi wen was the one who invited me to partic.i.p.ate. this is a very good opportunity, i can confirm my ident.i.ty, right? " fu mujun raised his eyebrows.

the a.s.sistant nodded, "that's true. the only option is for miss huo to accept your ident.i.ty. i believe that others won't suspect you too much."

"thus, i must attend this banquet. "however, it's better for us to be a bit more careful since we're looking for su chen hao. go find someone to check the names of the people who will be partic.i.p.ating in the banquet and see if there's any enemies hiding among them." fu mujun instructed.

"yes, i will arrange it right away." the a.s.sistant responded and was about to leave the room.

"by the way, move all the bodyguards around me away. even xi wen would be able to detect it, let alone the enemy." fu mujun retorted.

"alright." the a.s.sistant answered and left the room.

fu mujun turned the chair under his b.u.t.t, his expression was filled with contemplation, as though he was considering some serious question.

the united states, new york.

huo jiabao had no sleep that night because he was about to see he meixin and the jet lag.

the next day, he was completely dispirited, and the dark circles around his eyes were frighteningly dense.

he gave qian jun a call and asked him to take his place in the negotiation with the other party, while qian jun fell asleep in the hotel.

when he woke up, it was already evening.

he picked up his phone and called qian jun. however, he found out that the person eating with him was none other than he meixin.

huo jique didn't expect qian jun to secretly arrange a meeting with mei xin behind his back. he was furious, but he couldn't afford to lose his temper for fear that qian jun would see through his thoughts. he could only suppress the displeasure in his heart and order qian jun to return.

qian jun, who was sitting at the side of the restaurant, couldn't help but to obey when he received the order. he could only look at he mei apologetically and say to himself, "my good heart, i'm sorry. i'm afraid i won't be able to use today's dinner. "think about what i've told you before. if you're willing, we'll meet the day after tomorrow."

"qian jun, i really admire you. in this world, you're probably the only person who can endure his domineering temper. he clearly knows that you're eating with me, yet he has to make you go back now. isn't that intentional?" he mei was a bit angry. it had been so long since she had seen huo jiu. the moment she heard news of him, she felt unhappy.

qian jun could hear she meixin's displeasure towards huo jianji. although her own boss would often be a bit unreasonable, she had no choice. who asked him to be the boss? at a time like this, he couldn't drag him down. she had to a.s.sist him a bit.

therefore, he immediately put on a smiling face and said, "beautiful, other than the ceo being a bit ill-tempered, everything else is good. she is also very nice to the people below."

"i know that you're eating with a friend, yet i have to call you back. is this good for the people below?" he meixin did not think so.

"he might have something important to talk to me about." qian jun said.

she meixin shrugged. "forget it. anyway, you've been eaten by him. let's go. hurry back. don't let him wait too long, she's going to lose her temper again."

qian jun smiled and said, "think about what i've told you before. i think director huo would be very happy if he knew that you were our tour guide."

when she meixin heard this, her heart trembled for a moment.

very happy?

would huojiao really?

she was afraid that if she wasn't happy when the time came, she would always ask her about the child. if that happened, things would become troublesome.

while hesitating internally, he followed qian jun out of the restaurant and the two of them left in their respective cars.

qian jun rushed back to the hotel. he saw huo jiu sitting on the sofa with a cup of wine in his hand. his face was filled with unhappiness.

"president, why did you call me back?" qian jun walked to his side and asked.

"let me ask you, how is your discussion with the other party today?" huo jiabao asked.

"it's going smoothly. there are still some details that can be finalized tomorrow after they have completed their task." qian chao answered.

"even if that's the case, you should still report to me at the hotel after you're done." huo jiabao said sarcastically.
