C214 Identity
"Hello, my name is Lin Nuo." Although Zhong Qing was praising her, Lin Xiao still felt uncomfortable listening to him. Maybe she liked to eat too much, but looking at the silent Huo Mochen, Lin Xiao still felt a bit sad.
"Hello, I'm Zhong Qing. But you probably haven't met me before, but I saw you at your wedding." As he spoke, he politely extended his hand towards Lin Xiao.
Lin Nuo did not know what Zhong Qing's motive was. In fact, she didn't believe that this woman who looked similar to Yuan Liluo had any intentions at all. However, due to her upbringing, Lin Nuo still shook the other party's hand. No matter who it was, she had to follow the Lin Clan's etiquette.
"We still have things to do. You can take your time. Let's go, my wife." Huo Mochen pretended to be calm and took Lin Nuo's hand, then hurriedly left the place. Only Lin Nuo, who was holding hands, could feel that Huo Mochen was nervous, and even the strength in his hand unconsciously increased.
Zhong Qing only stood where she was and watched the two people leave. Her calm expression made it impossible to discern her emotions, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with him at all.
"Huo Mochen, there's a lot of time." After he finished talking to himself, Zhong Qing continued to look at the jewels.
"She .." Lin Nuo wanted to ask what was the relationship between Zhong Qing and her, how could she let her husband get nervous so easily? But before he could finish, he was interrupted.
"We have nothing to do with each other, so don't think too much about it." Huo Mochen anxiously explained. He did not expect that the happy weekend would end so quickly, he did not expect to meet Zhong Qing here, was it a coincidence? Or perhaps it was deliberate. If it was the latter, it was truly terrifying.
She only wanted to ask, why did he have such an unnatural expression when he saw Zhong Qing? However, Huo Mochen's reaction made her not know how to open her mouth.
"Have you not forgotten Yuan Liluo yet? "If it is .." If it was, she was willing to give up this seat, but would she give up this seat if Lin Naoi didn't say it out loud? If I were to ask myself in my heart, she wouldn't be so willing.
"Darling, don't think too much about it. It's just a thing of the past. Right now, I just want to live a good life with you. Whatever you want to eat, let's go buy some food." Huo Mochen calmed himself down and started the car to leave. As long as he left the place, he would not be affected by the woman called Zhong Qing.
She still chose to swallow her words. Forget it, since Mo Chen already said it was a thing of the past, then she will not hesitate anymore, even if he had to lie to her to reassure her.
That night, Lin Xiao and Huo Mochen acted as if nothing happened between them in the afternoon, as usual, but they still had their own thoughts. Even when they were in the middle of the night, Lin Nuo rushed out to's absent-mindedness.
Huo Mochen had thought that he would never get into contact with Zhong Qing again, he did not expect the secretary to tell him the next day that the Zhong Family was interested in working with the Huo Family. As for which Zhong Family it was, Huo Mochen immediately knew that it was related to Zhong Qing.
From the moment he met Zhong Qing at the wedding, he realized that no matter when he saw Zhong Qing's figure, he would always be able to see his shadow. It would be too much of a coincidence if one were to describe it as coincidental, what did this woman want?
"I'll go down first. I'll have to discuss this with the board of directors and the department manager before deciding on my decision. I don't want to reply for the time being." Huo Mochen knew that he couldn't hastily agree to it, but he couldn't give up a collaboration just because of his private feelings.
"Got it." The secretary nodded that she knew what to do.
"Let's withdraw first." Huo Mochen rubbed his temples. He started to feel that this situation was getting out of whack, and was not as stable as he had planned.
Just as Huo Mochen was resting with his eyes closed, the internal phone on the table rang.
"CEO's office." Huo Mochen heaved a sigh of relief and spoke to the person inside the phone.
"CEO, there's a Miss Zhong who wants to see you. Since the person downstairs doesn't have an appointment, he called to ask if he wants to meet you or not?" The secretary asked cautiously. Just as the president finished speaking about working with Zhong Family, this man came up.
"See, send someone up." The unease in Huo Mochen's heart was confirmed. He took this chance to test if this Zhong Qing fellow was doing it intentionally or not. Why was it that he always met this "coincidence"?
Knocking on the door interrupted Huo Mochen's train of thoughts.
"Come in." Huo Mochen organized his emotions, as though nothing had happened, and watched as the secretary walked in with Zhong Qing. He calmly looked at Zhong Qing in front of him. It was really weird, logically speaking, it would be difficult to find two people that looked similar in this world, unless they were twins. However, he was sure that Yuan Liluo didn't have any twins.
"CEO, he's here." The secretary spoke formally to Huo Mochen, then stood to the side and waited for the CEO's orders.
"Prepare some tea, there's nothing else. You can leave first." Huo Mochen got up from his seat and walked straight towards Zhong Qing, "Miss Zhong, please sit. May I know why you have come to this Huo place today?" Huo Mochen was not polite, and directly asked the other party that he was willing.
"For cooperation." Zhong Qing maintained her usual smile, but this annoying smile made Huo Mochen's head hurt. He started to feel that as long as this woman smiled, there would be no good in it.
"Regarding the collaboration, I still need to discuss it with the board before making a decision, so Miss Zhong can be considered to have come here for nothing." Huo Mochen frowned, he felt that there was some sort of scheme behind this. Although he was very clear on the Huo Clan's financial situation, and very much in need of this investment, but before she understood what the other party wanted, he did not dare act rashly. She sighed, if he had half of her big brother's brain, the company would not be as it was now.
Just as she was speaking, the secretary knocked on the door and brought in a cup of tea, interrupting Huo Mochen's train of thought. Zhong Qing did not say anything, she only picked up the tea and took a sip, after that her eyes revealed a look of pleasant surprise, she did not expect the tea to be so tasty, and the sweet smell of it pleased her.
However, when he saw Zhong Qing like this, Huo Mochen's heart sunk. He had seen this expression on Yuan Liluo's body multiple times, and now, she and Yuan Liluo had become more and more similar.
"I think Director Huo must be full of questions. For example, why did he choose to cooperate with the Huo family?" The Zhong Qing who was like this was different from Yuan Liluo, "Boss Huo, you might as well ask about what you want, and we can continue discussing it."
"Who the hell are you?" Huo Mochen asked the question that he had always been concerned about, who exactly was she? He didn't believe in coincidences. There wouldn't be two women in the world who were extremely similar, but who didn't know each other.
"Didn't I say it already? My name is Zhong Qing, didn't Director Huo's memory become worse?" Zhong Qing's tone was filled with ridicule, she raised her head and looked at Huo Mochen, "What, do you want to check your account before cooperating?" In Huo Mochen's eyes, he looked like a witch who wanted to seduce men. He looked sexy and mysterious, which made Huo Mochen even more curious about her identity.
"Regarding the cooperation between us, I hope that Miss Zhong can give me some time. After all, one person does not dare to make a rash decision, so I will quickly give you a reply." Huo Mochen did not want to continue fighting against this woman in front of him. Looking at her, he could tell that he would not be able to get anything out of her.
"I might as well let Director Huo think about it. From what I can see, the Huo family has long been in ruins." Zhong Qing drank her tea and said something that caused Huo Mochen to be stunned, "If Boss Huo is smart and wants to work with the Zhong Family, this issue will not be a problem. If you give up on cooperation because of a personal reason, then your company will not go downhill because of one of your wrong decisions." She believed that the man in front of her would know what she meant. Since she had already said all that, it was time for her to leave as well.
Huo Mochen's expression turned cold, he did not expect his to understand so much, he thought about the pros and cons, and realised that Zhong Qing's words made sense, he really needed to invest.
"You can go back now. With the official contract, I will send someone to deliver it to your company. I have even troubled Miss Zhong to make a trip over there." Huo Mochen decided to take this gamble, and use this chance to test Lv Cheng's attitude. As for this woman, he would also not ignore her.
After sending off Zhong Qing, Huo Mochen didn't even think before sending a text message to his big brother's private number. He needed his big brother's help to check up on Zhong Qing and Yuan Liluo, since his abilities were insufficient, he could only ask big brother. After receiving a favor from Huo Moting, Huo Mochen could finally feel at ease to start the day's work.
At the afternoon meeting, they initially wanted to discuss whether to work with the Zhong Family, but what happened in the morning became an announcement that the Huo Family would work with the Zhong Family.
"Director Huo, as far as I know, the management of the Huo Family and the Zhong Family are different, so my mission this time was a little sloppy." The older employees had sent a representative to speak, and this small group of people happened to be the few that had come out after Huo Mochen's investigation of the financial affairs.
"Oh?" Huo Mochen looked at the person in front of him coldly, "Then does Elder Nan have any objections? With regards to the company's current loss, could it be that Elder Nan wants to contribute to the company, donate his own savings, or work for the company?" Huo Mochen said in a neutral tone. He dared to guarantee that once these words were spoken, no one would refute him.
Sure enough, after he said that, the meeting room became silent. Everyone was thinking on their own.
"Since there's no problem, then let's disperse." Just as Huo Mochen wanted to leave, he turned around and stopped again. Everyone saw that the CEO had returned, so of course they wouldn't dare leave, "Right, dogs recognize masters, because masters can only feed themselves, so loyal dogs know who their masters are. With that, Huo Mochen left.
Some of those who stayed behind understood the meaning behind those words and broke out in a cold sweat. Some people were confused by what they had heard. They had no idea why this new CEO would say such words.
A small group of people were sweating cold sweat as they looked at each other. They did indeed intend to stand on Lv Cheng's side.
