Ever since the last time the Huo Corporation’s backbone appeared and jumped ship with a group of employees, there had been a lot of internal trouble.


As soon as the problems on the project side subsided, problems of all sizes appeared on the other side.


“Another group of people resigned today,” Ye Zhen reported.


Even he frowned a little, sensing the trickiness of the matter. “This is already the second batch of people who resigned from the company during this period of time.”


“These people are all heading towards the company I investigated previously.”


Ye Zhen was referring to the foreign company he had investigated previously.


After the backbone of the company jumped ship last time, the Huo Corporation’s internal people had also spent some effort to appease them. However, they didn’t expect that after a few days, some people would start to stir again and even incite people to leave with them.


As a result, two more groups of people left one after another. It was unknown if they were really persuaded or driven by benefits. The impact of those who left couldn’t be underestimated.


“There’s still no results from the investigation?” Huo Yichen asked.


Ye Zhen frowned and nodded. “We can only find that company. If we investigate further, we won’t be able to find anything. Their background is very clean.”


No matter what, for a company’s business or background source, that foreign company seemed too clean, so much so that Ye Zhen felt that it was ridiculous when he looked at the information in his hand.


Such a whiteboard-like company didn’t even have any benefits or promises for the employees, and they had yet to produce the corresponding results, but they could actually poach nearly a hundred people from the Huo Corporation. If the companies outside found out, they would become a joke.


“I’ve been looking at them, but the other party hasn’t done anything. Those employees still live as usual after going over, and I haven’t found their boss.” Ye Zhen was a little annoyed.


Perhaps these things that had happened one after another had fallen into his hands and he had dealt with such a situation until now, causing Ye Zhen to feel that his business ability had decreased. He frowned and his expression was very bad.


Huo Yichen didn’t speak and only covered his face with his hand. It was unknown what he was thinking, but he seemed to be in a daze.


These problems appeared in the company one after another, and they all happened together. The frequency was so high that it was difficult not to think too much about it.


Huo Yichen thought about the people on the board who liked to cause trouble and then eliminated them one by one.


“Settle down the company first,” Huo Yichen instructed. “If I’m not wrong, this storm is far from over. Something will definitely happen in the company soon.”


It was impossible for the person behind the scenes to disappear after causing some trivialities.


The other party had yet to show his true motive.


The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.


As for the employees who had jumped ship, Huo Yichen didn’t care much about losing them.


The benefits and treatment of the Huo Corporation were top-notch. In any company, there was no place better than them now. The old ones would leave and they would recruit a new batch. Moreover, since the time he took over the company, it was time for a huge change.


Speaking of this, Huo Yichen had to thank the other party. It just so happened that they had helped him eliminate many hidden dangers this time.


An employee who wasn’t loyal would be eliminated sooner or later.


“As for now—” Huo Yichen looked at his appearance and then at the dark sky outside. He stood up, picked up his coat, and walked out.


He was going to pick her up and bring her home.


The sky gradually darkened, losing the sea blue color.


The light of the sun shining back from the west was faintly discernible among the tall buildings. It seemed to have a hint of scorching temperature that shattered the clouds and spread to the dim yellow sky. It made one unable to help but narrow their eyes to see this beautiful scenery clearly.


It was rare for Huo Yichen to get off work early. He personally drove out of the underground parking lot and blended into the rush-hour traffic. He headed in the direction of the navigation and gradually increased his speed.


At the same time, the award ceremony that Murong Qiao was attending was underway. The emcee had already gone on stage to give a speech, followed by the list of award-winning artists.


“Let’s congratulate Xu Xiuzhu on winning the Best Singer award this time—”


As the emcee raised her voice, the backstage cooperated and shone the spotlight on Xu Xiuzhu, who was beside Murong Qiao.


The corners of Xu Xiuzhu’s mouth curled up slightly as he smiled. His face was like jade as he slowly stood up under the light, revealing a leisurely and calm expression. At the same time, he appeared in the live-stream of the award ceremony.


“Ahhh, Mommy loves you!”


Such comments almost covered the entire live-stream. The moment Xu Xiuzhu stood up, the entire venue applauded him as a symbol of encouragement and honor.


Tonight should be a night of revelry for countless fans.


Xu Xiuzhu walked towards the stage, and the lights followed him.


Murong Qiao looked at Xu Xiuzhu, who was gradually leaving to go on the stage, and then turned to look at Shi Yang, who was sitting on the other side of her. She sensed his tense state and couldn’t help but tease him.


“You just said you weren’t nervous,” she teased.


Shi Yang coughed lightly. “I just don’t like such occasions very much.”


“It’s a pity that they didn’t agree to mail the award to me directly.” He complained softly, at a volume that only he and Murong Qiao could hear.


Such awards rarely left a sense of surprise for people. In fact, everyone who won the award would receive some news before the award ceremony.


Therefore, some time ago, when Shi Yang found out from his manager that he had won an award and was going to the event location to collect it, he had a headache.


He admitted that he liked to sing very much and liked to develop singing as his career.


However, other than going to the recording studio, Shi Yang, who usually stayed at home and carefully raised pigs, was directly exposed when he heard that he was going to such an event.


At that time, he didn’t even think about it and asked his manager if they could give him the trophy directly.


“When I said that to my manager back then, I felt that he was so terrifying that he could eat me up.” Shi Yang couldn’t help but purse his lips.


Murong Qiao laughed at his description. “I don’t want to come either if I can.”


Usually, she would have stayed at home at this time. There was also the fragrant food and warm arms.


As they spoke, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but imagine.


Was Ah Chen already waiting at home?


As soon as she opened the door, a pair of furry rabbit slippers was placed in front of her. The lights were bright, and the fragrance wafting from the kitchen couldn’t help but attack her sense of smell. Then, after changing her shoes, she saw a person walking out of the kitchen. He greeted her with a gentle gaze and called her to the dining table to eat.


Just thinking about it made her feel—


Murong Qiao was about to say something when she seemed to sense her stomach rumbling.


Oh no, she didn’t seem to have eaten dinner when she came here tonight.


She belatedly remembered this matter and touched her stomach that was already a little awake and starting to cry out for food. She couldn’t help but secretly look at the time.


The difficult thing was that there was still more than an hour before the award ceremony ended.


Shi Yang saw Murong Qiao’s actions. “What’s wrong?”


“It’s nothing,” Murong Qiao replied calmly.


She couldn’t possibly tell Shi Yang that she was actually hungry on such an occasion, right?


Thinking that the other party had yet to go up to accept the award, Murong Qiao was too embarra.s.sed to find an excuse to leave at this time..
