Chapter 61: A Deal

m.These years, it wasn't because of the Qin family's influence. Even if Grandma Huo wanted to protect her, the second branch of the Huo family, who had always thought she was a jinx, would have driven...Su He and Huo Chenxi met at the teahouse where Bai Yihuan had previously invited Su He.

Speaking of which, Huo Chenxi has saved her three times already.

However, every time he saved her, he would always do something she couldn't accept.

This time, Huo Shenxi didn't explicitly say what was going on over the phone, but Su He had a pretty good guess.

Knowing he would upset her, she still came because he had saved her life from the village.

The ancient qin's sound reverberates, and the flowing water meanders.

With clearly defined bones, long fingers delicately held the teaware, serenely preparing a cup of tea.

A warm air flowed around his handsome face, and when he saw her enter, his eyebrows stretched in delight, his thin lips curving into a faint smile.

Huochengxi didn't expect Su He to agree to meet him.

He got up to greet her, Huo Chenxi pointed to the seat opposite him, his voice full of joy: "Miss Su, please sit down!"

Su He lowered her eyes to look at the delicate tea set on the table, and said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "I didn't expect that even at this time, Young Master Huo still has this leisurely taste!"

It's Mr. Huo, not President Huo.

Since she began interacting with him on business, she has always politely kept her distance, addressing him as "Mr. Huo."

Huo Chenxi knew what she meant. Seeing that she didn't sit down, he didn't mind standing with her: "I heard that President Su took over as the chairman of Yihe Group. Congratulations!"

Su He wasn't surprised that he knew the news. With a smile that didn't reach his eyes, he said: "Mr. Huo is too polite. I wonder if Di Jin Group still has the intention to cooperate on the Chengnan Technology City project"

This project was spearheaded by Huo Chenxi. If the CEO of Di Jin Group changes, this project will inevitably be affected, and it's even possible that it will be shelved.

Huo Chenxi lowered his head to look at Su He.

She was wearing a well-tailored white suit and high heels with a medium heel and thin straps, which added to her already impressive height.

She probably just came from the company, her makeup hadn't been removed yet, and her sharp eyeliner made her appear less gentle and more assertive.

Such Su He, he and the girl in his memory seem to be drifting further and further apart.

Ho Chenxi gestured again to the empty seat across from him: "General Su, please sit! I invited you here today to discuss a deal with you."

Su He gave him a deep look, then reached into her armpit bag, lifted it, and turned to sit down. Huo Chen Xi waited until she was seated before returning to his previous position.

"Try some of this aged Pu-erh tea I've been saving," Su He said, pouring a cup for him.

Su He glanced at the tea he offered, but didn't reach for it. Huo Chen Xi saw this, his eyebrows raised slightly, and placed the porcelain white cup in front of her. He didn't press her to drink any further.

Su He didn't want to beat around the bush. She asked directly, "What did Shao Huo mean by the deal just now"

Ho Chenxi poured himself a cup of tea, sipped it slowly, then looked up at Su He with clear eyes: "Mr. Su, I guarantee this project will go smoothly. You help me save someone, how about that"

Su He's face instantly darkened, her gaze toward Huo Chen Xi carrying a hint of mockery: "Since it's a transaction, there has to be benefits. Forgive my poor eyesight, I don't see any sincerity from Young Master Huo."

It goes without saying that Huo Chenxi wants her to save Bai Yihuan.

Bai Yihuan attempted suicide by jumping from a building and became a vegetative state. The Bai family insisted that all of this was caused by Huo Chenxi, and netizens also stood by the Bai family, condemning and criticizing Huo Chenxi.

He already has a wife, yet he gives Bai Yihuan hope and even lets her have a child. He's a total scumbag.

Although Huo Chenxi had explained to Bai Yihuan that the child in her belly was not his, he did continue to give her hope.

Seeing Su He's obvious resistance, Huo Chenxi asked in a deep voice, "Besides the project proceeding as normal, what other benefits do you want"

So, his position as CEO is truly precarious, and this project could potentially be put on hold

Su He was startled, but her face remained calm: "Increase the profit sharing for the cooperation project by three points."

Huo Chenxi stared straight at her, Su He met his gaze without flinching, even offering a slight smile, showing no remorse for putting him in a difficult position.

Saving a life always comes at a medical cost.

Besides, she had to save the woman she hated most.

After a moment of silence, Huo Chenxi finally spoke: "Two o'clock."

Su He raised an eyebrow and said regretfully, "I'm sorry. I just started a new job and have been incredibly busy lately. I won't bother Huo Shao."

She got up and left, her movement fluid and decisive.

"Wait." Huo Chenxi called out to her as she was about to leave, his brows furrowed in concern, but he still said in a low voice, "Three o'clock, as you said."

Su He stopped in her tracks, then turned back to Huo Chen Xi three seconds later. "Then thank you, Mr. Huo. After the contract is signed, I will go and save the person you mentioned. However, I don't guarantee the outcome."

Ho Chenxi smiled wryly: "I don't know, Mr. Su is so good at business."

Su He raised an eyebrow and smiled: "You don't even know how much more there is."

After three years of marriage, she didn't know him as well as she thought she did, and he felt the same way.

No matter what their relationship was, he was willing to let Bai Yihuan suffer for her, and even knowing she disliked it, he still went to her for help again and again for Bai Yihuan's sake. This speaks volumes.

Seeing all he had done for her in the village before, she agreed to save Bai Yihuan on the condition of receiving three points' worth of benefits.

But even that flicker of insignificant feeling, rekindled in her there, would be consumed to ashes along with her treatment for Bai Yihuan.

Once the terms were agreed upon, Su He no longer wasted time: "Young Master Huo, once the contract is revised, please contact me at any time. I have other matters to attend to and won't disturb your leisure."

After she finished speaking, she left without looking back.

Staring at her departing back, Huo Chenxi only felt something slipping away quietly. He instinctively wanted to reach out and stop her, but thinking of his current situation, he finally retracted his hand with a pained sigh.

Su He returned home and learned that she had successfully negotiated to increase the profit share for their cooperation project with Di Jin Group by three points. Shen Zhao Lin, instead of being happy, looked worried.

Given Huo Chen Xi's current situation, how could he possibly agree to let go of three points

Su He sneered and said, "Compared to giving him a discount, wouldn't it be more fatal to us if we changed our cooperation partner"

Shen Zhaolin's expression was slightly unnatural: "You already know"

Su He looked at Shen Zhao Lin in surprise. "Know what"

Shen Zhaolin waved his hand. "It's nothing, just the second branch of the Huo family extended an olive branch, trying to persuade us to change our cooperation partner."

Su He let out a light chuckle. "It's too early to say who will win this, isn't it He seems awfully eager."

Shen Zhaolin looked at Su He, his heart pounding as he asked, "You're very optimistic about Huo Chenxi"

He Chenxi had saved her twice, and Shen Zhaolin was truly worried that his precious daughter would fall for He Chenxi again.

Su He heard Shen Zhao Lin's meaning and said calmly, "The second branch of the Huo family has always been impetuous, and Huo Chen Yi is even more so. Back when Grandmother Huo was still alive, they tried to vie for the position of Group CEO, even going so far as to collude with outsiders to scheme against Huo Chen Xi."

The result was that Huo Chenxi had anticipated his plan and not only failed to seize the position of CEO but also almost got fired.

These past few years have gone by, and I didn't expect them to still be so persistent.

At first, when she divorced Huo Chenxi, Huo Chenyi also contacted her, wanting to repurchase the shares that Granny Huo had left her.

Even if Huo Chenxi is not the best, he is still the heir chosen by Old Madam Huo for the Huo family.

At the time when Huo Chenxi and Huo Chenyi were vying for power, she had never intended to support Huo Chenyi.any meeting room.She spent the whole day in the conference room, even having lunch there.Unknowing people speculated that she was sent down by the headquarters for an audit, after all, there had been...
