Chapter 804: Private Meeting
Editor: Henyee Translations
On the surface, Huo Xiuyuan had not made a move recently, but in fact, he had been secretly moving around.
Recently, the focus had been on the project that many people had envied Huo
Yichen at the exhibition.
He cooperated with Xu Dong and directly took down the East District. That project was really popular. This was a fact that almost everyone knew.
Therefore many businessmen with investment vision and long-term considerations would consider this project, and Huo Xiuyuan was no exception.
If anything, it went back a long time. When Huo Yichen first arrived at the Huo Family, the two of them liked to fight over everything.
It was clearly a ranking without any honor. Although the two of them didn’t say anything on the surface, they were competing coldly behind each other’s backs.
As for this time, it was no exception.
Huo Xiuyuan looked at the proposal and information that were more than a few pages long in his hand and raised his eyebrows in satisfaction. He read almost ten lines at a glance and couldn’t wait.
At this moment, Huo Ya, who was sitting opposite Huo Xiuyuan, couldn’t wait to talk to him. However, she didn’t know what to say for a moment. She could only suppress the excitement in her heart and not disturb him.
Speaking of which, this was the first time the two of them had met so formally after Huo Xiuyuan returned to the country. Moreover, it was the other party who took the initiative to contact her. Huo Ya couldn’t help but feel flattered. ■’Xiuyuan, where are you staying this time? Is it not safe to be alone outside?” After a long silence, Huo Ya couldn’t help but open her mouth to show her concern.
In her opinion, although Huo Xiuyuan looked very carefree and calm now, he
was not fine.
Since he had returned from overseas alone, he must not be as carefree as he looked on the surface.
Thinking of the feud between the other party and Huo Yichen, Huo Ya didn’t need Huo Xiuyuan to say anything. She could already imagine many scenes that worried her.
Because the other party was a “great contributor” who had brought him the information, Huo Xiuyuan didn’t kick her to the curb after she outlived her usefulness. He only looked up at Huo Ya indifferently and replied vaguely.
“Don’t worry.”
Actually, he didn’t really want her to know about his situation, especially when Kelly had been sticking to him from time to time recently.
He had already made up his mind to use Kelly to obtain help, so it was best not
to have any more entanglements with Huo Ya.
But in fact, for the sake of the information in his hand, he had contacted the other party for almost a week.
Although it was indeed not appropriate to meet her in private, especially if this matter reached Kelly’s ears, it would probably not be a good thing.
However, Huo Xiuyuan had always been able to differentiate between big and small matters.
Especially after knowing very well how much advantage this doc.u.ment in his hand could bring him, he couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction. Even when he looked up at Huo Ya, he felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye.
“Thank you for helping me this time,” Huo Xiuyuan said sincerely. “I know you’ve taken a lot of risks in the company recently. I really don’t know how to thank you.”
“It’s actually nothing…”
After being praised by Huo Xiuyuan, Huo Ya immediately felt a little lost. Huo Ya liked Huo Xiuyuan to begin with and had never changed her feelings for him since she was young. Now that she had acc.u.mulated enough feelings for him, she was dizzy from his praises.
Even after receiving the other party’s sincere grat.i.tude, Huo Ya still felt that it was worth it to risk her father’s anger.
HUO Ya didn’t seem to realize her actions at all. She had already caused a huge loss to the Huo Corporation and only felt very happy.
Huo Ya, who usually didn’t go to the company at all, didn’t have a clear concept of this. She only knew that she would do whatever Huo Xiuyuan said. Therefore, her recent actions and sudden diligence in the company had changed with the other party.
“What else do you need? Actually, I can help you get it.” Huo Ya even took the initiative to ask. She was very understanding.
Huo Xiuyuan didn’t expect Huo Ya to take the initiative to stick to him after he praised her. He was a little surprised for a moment before shaking his head with a smile.
After taking the doc.u.ments, he stood up and walked towards the door of the private room. “This is enough. You’ve been very busy recently. Rest for a while.” With such a useful p.a.w.n like Huo Ya, he couldn’t bear to throw her away now. Coincidentally, there had been a sudden uproar recently. The Huo Corporation must have started to investigate the ident.i.ty of the traitor. If Huo Ya could continue to hold on in this round, she could play a more useful role in the future.
As for whether the other party would be eliminated, that would depend on Huo Ya’s luck.
At the very least, Huo Xiuyuan had no intention of helping at all. Just the information in his hand was enough for him to make this trip.
“Then—” Huo Ya suddenly stood up.
She shouted, “Then I can call you the next time I get more information?” HUO Ya didn’t know why Huo Xiuyuan needed these things. She only knew that if she obtained these things, the other party would meet her.
After Huo Ya said this in embarra.s.sment, she pursed her lips and smiled obediently.
Huo Xiuyuan’s mind was focused on the doc.u.ment in front of him, so he didn’t listen to what Huo Ya said and simply nodded in agreement.
He had to deal with the important matters first. In ten minutes, he would pick Kelly up and bring her home.
After all, she was still his girlfriend and fiancee on the surface. Before he obtained the Huo Corporation, he had to coax her.
Thinking of the power behind Kelly, he immediately composed himself and walked out of the restaurant.
Little did he know that Huo Ya, who was standing behind him, was looking at Huo Xiuyuan’s departing figure in disappointment. The disappointment on her face was obvious.
“…When will we meet again?”
Huo Ya sighed softly.
Recently, she had become alone. She didn’t know what Jiang Weiyang was busy with every day, but she always hung out with the new girl. Because of this, Huo Ya was neglected.
coupled with the fact that her father had been in a bad temper because of work problems recently, Huo Ya didn’t want to cause trouble. Therefore, other than Huo Xiuyuan, she didn’t have a second friend.
Seeing the other party rushing around in a hurry to take back the Huo Corporation, Huo Ya couldn’t help but feel her heart ache.
When Huo Xiuyuan walked to the point where she couldn’t see his back clearly, Huo Ya was about to get up and leave the private room.
This address was sent to her by the other party. Now that he was no longer around, there was naturally no point in staying here.
Just as Huo Ya was walking out of the hotel’s front desk with her bag, she suddenly saw her father, Huo Qiuguang, walk in.
She was stunned for a moment before her mind went blank. Fortunately, her body’s reaction was faster than her thoughts, and she hid at the side. She used the potted plants that were as tall as a person to hide her figure at the corner of the path she had to pa.s.s.
Huo Qiuguang seemed to be talking to someone. His tone was gentle, like nothing Huo Ya had heard in the past few days. However, she was too far away and couldn’t hear the conversation clearly.
Huo Ya, who was hiding behind the potted plant, was like a rabbit listening to the wind and gra.s.s.
It was not until she saw her father and the middle-aged man get into the elevator that she carefully appeared from behind the potted plant and walked out..
