Chapter 399: Not Giving Up

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Yichen was suffocated by the documents, but he treated them as motivation.

“Young Master, documents can never be finished.” The butler’s tone was hard for once.

He pushed the still-warm dinner to Huo Yichen’s hand.

Seeing that Huo Yichen didn’t move, the butler said, “If you don’t eat, I’ll tell Young Miss Murong about this.”

Perhaps Huo Yichen wouldn’t listen to him, but he definitely wouldn’t want Murong Qiao to worry.

Murong Qiao was his Achilles’ heel, his weakness under his armor.

“…Don’t tell her,” Huo Yichen finally said.

The butler glanced at dinner silently. Huo Yichen looked helpless, but at least he stopped writing and prepared to eat.

“How’s Huo Hong?” Huo Yichen was not really resting when he ate.

The butler thought for a moment. “He thinks very highly of you recently. There’s no news of Huo Xiuyuan’s return either. Overall, it seems like the momentum is still good.”

Especially after Huo Yichen displayed his outstanding ability and performed well in the company, Huo Hong was very satisfied.

Huo Yichen took out his phone and checked if Murong Qiao had sent him a message. At the same time, he listened to the butler’s report and replied from time to time.

As for the fact that Huo Hong valued him, Huo Yichen felt it the next day.

After so many days, Huo Hong called him to the study again and told him about another project in a rare amicable manner.

“I’ll leave the project with the Murong Family to you this year,” Huo Hong decided.

Huo Hong had seen Huo Yichen’s performance in the company during this period of time. He had only made this decision after careful consideration.

Huo Yichen’s outstanding performance had successfully dispelled Huo Hong’s doubts about him. Moreover, he had gotten someone to investigate previously and did not find anything, so he simply believed Huo Yichen’s answer that there was no progress with Murong Qiao.

However, this didn’t mean that he had given up on the marriage alliance with the Murong Family.

“Try your best to perform well in front of Murong Chen,” Huo Hong reminded again.

Huo Yichen nodded. “I will.”

In the end, the two of them didn’t have much kinship between them, so they ended the conversation after a few words.

Huo Yichen left the study, but he understood what Huo Hong was up to and felt that it was ironic that he would not give up.

Since it didn’t work on Murong Qiao’s side, he decided to send him to Murong Chen to perform well.

Because of Huo Xiuyuan, the Ruan Family was no longer on good terms with them, so they should pay more attention to their social relations with the Murong Family.

Huo Hong probably had such thoughts, so he planned to send him to Murong Chen to perform well and so that the other party would arrange the marriage alliance directly.

The next day, Huo Yichen brought his assistant to Shengjing Group.

“I’m very happy to be able to work with Shengjing Group this time.” Huo Yichen shook Murong Chen’s hand.

This was probably the first time the two of them had met formally. Considering that there were other people around, Huo Yichen and Murong Chen’s expressions were both a little cold.

Murong Chen sounded a little unfamiliar. “It seems that Master Huo values you very much. He actually handed over this year’s collaboration project to Young Master Huo.”

These words were mixed with Murong Chen’s true feelings. After all, Huo Yichen had climbed faster than he expected.

Especially after hearing that the person who came for this project was Huo Yichen, Murong Chen became even more interested in following up.

“According to the previous years’ plans, I’ve made a few changes according to the data collected this time. Please look over here—” Huo Yichen stood beside the slide.

His words were methodical, and he didn’t panic in the face of all kinds of tricky questions. He could propose his thoughts and corresponding strategies, and he could even deal with extremely specific unexpected situations with ease.

Not only did the meeting not feel boring, it even ended five minutes early. It could be seen how capable Huo Yichen was.

“That’s the first version of my plan for the cooperation project this time,” Huo Yichen concluded.

He was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. Coupled with his serious expression and extraordinary aura, one could even ignore his young face.

Murong Chen took the lead in clapping as an affirmation. “There’s no problem with the general plan. You can discuss the details with the others.”

Just based on the impression of this meeting, he could give Huo Yichen full marks. At least in terms of work ability, Huo Yichen was outstanding.

Moreover, he was half a brother-in-law, so Murong Chen had no intention of making things difficult for him.

When the others saw their President’s attitude, they naturally smiled as well. They kept saying flattering words and also had the intention to please Huo Yichen.

After all, he was the heir of the Huo Family and would be a figure who could call the shots in the future. No one dared to underestimate him.

The Huo Family and the Murong Family’s cooperation was as usual, but through this project, many people recognized Huo Yichen.

“Young Master Huo is already so powerful at such a young age. His future is promising, haha.”

“From the looks of it, Huo Hong is probably going to hand over the position of the family head to his son.”

“I wonder who will be so lucky in the future to marry a young talent like Young Master Huo…”

Many discussions revolved around Huo Yichen. They were all optimistic voices, and for a moment, Huo Yichen was in the limelight.

On the weekend, it was also time for Murong Qiao to go home.

However, after she came out of the airport today, she suddenly had an idea and asked the chauffeur to change the route to Shengjing Group.

Because Uncle Yang said that her Big Brother would be coming home today, Murong Qiao decided to look for him.

Shengjing Group’s style was mainly simple and bright. It was mostly black, white, and gray, but it didn’t make people feel that it was too cold. The working environment was also more inclined to warmth.

Although Murong Qiao had only been to Shengjing Group a few times, fortunately, the front desk lady’s attitude was very friendly.

“The President should be in a meeting. It’s not convenient for me to disturb him. Would you like to wait in the office first?” the front desk lady asked.

Murong Qiao nodded. “I’ll stay here. There’s no need to inform him.”

She didn’t have anything important to do, and her Big Brother’s meeting was naturally more important.

When the front desk lady saw this, she brought her a cup of water and some snacks and placed them on the coffee table before leaving.

Murong Qiao originally wanted to work on her laptop or contact Jiang Chi, but her ears first heard footsteps approaching from outside.

Someone seemed to be heading towards the office.

She thought.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Murong Qiao saw Murong Chen’s secretary walk in.

“Please wait here for a moment. As for the President… Young Miss Murong?” The secretary turned around in surprise.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were…” An apologetic expression appeared on the secretary’s face.

If she had known that Murong Qiao was here, the secretary would not have led him here.

Murong Qiao shook his head. “It’s fine. Moreover, I know this… guest.”

Her gaze passed the secretary and landed on the person behind her who she had not seen for a long time but recognized at a glance.

“I know this person too. Perhaps we can talk while we wait,” Huo Yichen said.

The secretary didn’t expect this situation. “Then… I’ll wait for the President’s meeting to end first.”

Fortunately, the two of them knew each other. The secretary heaved a sigh of relief when she closed the door.

However, when the door closed, the secretary didn’t see Murong Qiao pounce into Huo Yichen’s arms eagerly.

“I missed you so much!” Murong Qiao hugged Huo Yichen’s neck tightly..
