embarrassing, her face flushed red. She stammered, "Did I pinch you"At that time, it was match point. Ji Lin and her opponent were tied, whoever struck first would be the winner. She nervously pinched...Finally, when Lei General Manager was free, Fu Yan stepped forward proactively, "General Manager Lei, hello, I'm Fu Yan from the new project department."

The man pondered for a few seconds, his eyes holding something Fu Yan couldn't decipher. He then smiled and extended his hand, shaking it. "So, Ms. Fu, nice to meet you."

"Since Mr. Lei was busy before, I didn't want to disturb him. Today happened to run into him, I wonder if it's convenient for a chat"

The man's gaze swept over the files in her hands. This wasn't a chance encounter; it was premeditated.

Looking through it, but not saying it, the man smiled: "I'm sorry, Miss Fu, Xin Cheng is not within our selection range. I'm afraid you've made a trip for nothing today."

Even though Qiqing had greeted Fu Yan and the others beforehand, the people at Huo Group's project department looked down on everyone else. Industry insiders didn't dare say much either, who could blame them After all, Huo Group has that kind of power.

The other party didn't even give any room for negotiation, which made Fu Yan suspicious.

"In recent years, the growth rate has been incredibly fast. With so many talented individuals emerging, innovative collaborations have become the norm. Perhaps General Lei could take a look at our proposal first before making a decision"

Fu Yan's words were indeed appealing, today's marketplace belongs to the young generation, but Director Lei firmly declined: "Sorry, Miss Fu."

Fu Yan's eyes flickered, she didn't miss the fleeting embarrassment on the other person's face, "General Lei, is there something you're reluctant to say"

General Lei's expression froze, and Fu Yan felt 80% certain about her guess. "Was this Huo's idea"

As an elder of the Ho Group, Lei Director's age is comparable to that of Huo Mingzheng's father. Except for Huo Mingzheng, who else in the entire Ho Group could command him

And the man's silence also confirmed her guess.

Unable to bear seeing the other party embarrassed, Fu Yan expressed understanding: "I apologize for disturbing General Lei."

"Miss Fu," the man called out to her. Miss Fu Yan understood his predicament, and he also understood the young girl's difficulties.

"Mr. Huo probably means he hopes you personally come to talk about the cooperation."

Fu Yan's heart sank to the bottom of a well, but she kept her composure on her face. "Thank you,"

Turning back, Fu Jing saw her drooping her head dejectedly. "Not going well"

It's not just about things going smoothly, he died before his expedition even started. Today, Fu Yan experienced this firsthand.

"

Should I tell my uncle

"

Fu Yan immediately shook her head, "You've already helped me a lot. Besides, if I can't even negotiate this deal, I wouldn't have the face to see Mr. Fu."

Moreover, she wanted the Deputy Director position.

But as for Huo Mingzheng, it's impossible that he was only looking to discuss cooperation. She could probably guess what he really wanted.

Fu Yan drank the fruit wine in one gulp.

The alcohol content seems a bit high tonight, it's just fruit wine, she's actually a little drunk, that's really strange.

Fu Jing reminded his mother to drink less alcohol afterward, and when he came back to look for Fu Yan, he found her leaning on the sofa, holding her forehead, with flushed cheeks like she was drunk.

His heart softened, and he asked her in a low voice, "Shall I send you home"

Fu Yan opened her hazy eyes and found someone approaching. Instinctively, she became alert. When she saw that the man in front of her was Fu Jing, she blinked.

Suddenly, a wave of heat surged through my body, and my mind became clouded with confusion.

She vaguely realized something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Words wouldn't come out.

Fu Jing saw her drunk like this, helpless yet finding it adorable. He helped her up from the sofa. Thankfully, Fu Yan was very well-behaved after drinking, not moving around or talking nonsense.

"I sent her home."

Ji Qing recognized Fu Jing and trusted Ji Lin, "Then I'll trouble you."een.Fu Yan was a little scared.Just now, Huo Mingzheng's domineering actions made her instinctively fear and recoil. She didn't know if it was right or wrong to get involved with Shen Wei and him agai...
