Chapter 724: Keep your distance
"How can there be such a thing......" As soon as Fu Jingze heard Chen Xinhui say this, his brain immediately spun rapidly, and he fell into a deep thought.
Chen Xinhui sighed and begged Fu Jingze: "You must accompany me!" I don't want to be alone in front of such a boring man. ”
Fu Jingze came to his senses and nodded seriously: "As long as you need it, I will definitely be by your side." There are just a few things to be aware of, and I'll have to explain them to you briefly. ”
"Isn't it just a meal? What is there to explain? Chen Xinhui asked suspiciously.
"In short, we have to be prepared. I'll make it clear to you when I go. ”
Seeing that Fu Jingze's expression was very formal, Chen Xinhui muttered and nodded: "Okay, I'll just listen to you." ”
At the appointed time, Chen Xinhui, accompanied by Fu Jingze, came to the private room of the hotel to meet Huo Huai'an, who had been waiting here for a long time, and she was a little surprised that Lu Qiran also came to the scene tonight.
After some pleasantries, the two sides sat down at the table and prepared to eat.
"Miss Chen, what would you like to drink?" Huo Huai'an was the first to ask.
Chen Xinhui smiled slightly: "I'm not a good drinker, so just drink a few drinks." ”
Huo Huai'an showed a slightly regretful look when he heard this, but he didn't continue to force Chen Xinhui to drink. He turned his head and asked Fu Jingze: "Since Miss Chen doesn't drink, then Mr. Fu has to have a drink with us, right?" ”
Fu Jingze nodded respectfully and thanked: "Although my alcohol consumption is not very good, since Mr. Huo is interested, then I might as well be respectful." ”
Regarding Fu Jingze's reply, Huo Huaian seemed very happy. He asked Lu Qiran to fill the wine glass for the other party, and then began the first toast of the night.
In fact, the reason why Chen Xinhui refused Huo Huai'an's request to drink alcohol was because she accepted Fu Jingze's advance reminder.
"Xinhui, it's very important that you keep your head up tonight. You have to prick up your ears, listen carefully to every word Huo Huai'an says, and then use your thinking ability to make correct judgments. ”
At first glance, hearing Fu Jingze's words, Chen Xinhui couldn't help but feel that the other party was making a little fuss.
"Jing Ze, I don't think that Huo Huai'an deserves our so much attention. Besides, with you by my side, you will help me make decisions in everything, and I still need to use my own brains? ”
Fu Jingze shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Don't think about things so simply. According to my observation, Huo Huai'an is a scheming person who is an elusive business master. Think about it, if he didn't have enough skills, how could Huo Beixiao let him take Gu Nanyin's place? ”
As soon as she heard the name Gu Nanyin, Chen Xinhui couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart. It was only at this time that she began to re-examine the importance of Huo Huai'an.
Then, Fu Jingze put forward a few precautions to her. Chen Xinhui no longer regarded these words as a deaf ear, and listened to every word very carefully and seriously.
Time came back to this moment, and I saw Huo Huaian holding a wine glass and said enthusiastically: "I am very happy to invite Miss Chen and Mr. Fu to dinner together tonight. I have long heard that Miss Chan is known as the best businesswoman in the business community of City A, and the last time I saw the Chan Group, I was really impressed. I hope to get in touch with Miss Chen more and enhance my friendship in the future! ”
was praised by Huo Huai'an so indiscriminately, Chen Xinhui was a little fluttery for a while. Just as she was about to change her impression of the man in front of her, she suddenly remembered another reminder from Fu Jingze before.
"Xin Hui, if Huo Huai'an says good things about you for no reason at the dinner, don't be deceived by his rhetoric. Because the reason why he wants to please you must be hidden behind some ulterior reason! So you have to be vigilant and don't be taken into the ditch by him. ”
Thinking of this, Chen Xinhui's mind that was about to heat up instantly calmed down. She thought carefully about what Huo Huai'an said, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was a big problem here.
"He said I'm the best businesswoman in City A? Didn't they use this title to praise Gu Nanyin before? Now that Gu Nanyin has retired from the business world, her eldest brother has put this title on my head again...... This is obviously the rhythm of doing things! No, I have to follow Jing Ze's advice to stay calm, and I must not be fooled by the man in front of me! ”
After clarifying her thoughts, Chen Xinhui was polite to Huo Huai'an on the surface, but in fact, she kept a sufficient distance and didn't want the other party to rely on words to quickly get close to her. And Huo Huai'an seemed to feel her thoughts, so after drinking the first glass of wine, his topic became very normal, and he did not continue to please Chen Xinhui.
However, as time went on, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more lively. Although she was still vigilant in her heart, Chen Xinhui still had to admit that Huo Huaian did have his charm.
After three rounds of drinking, Huo Huai'an began to tell about his childhood experience. He described this experience as a history of tenacious struggle, and one person became the mountain he wanted to climb.
"To tell you the truth to Miss Chen, since I returned to City A, I finally understand that some things cannot be accomplished by hard work. I tried my best to carve out my niche in the business world. But no matter how hard I try, others only know that Huo's Group has a genius president named Huo Beixiao, but they don't know that he also has an elder brother named Huo Huai'an! It's so painful! ”
Hearing this, Chen Xinhui suddenly had a strong sense of substitution. Because in her heart, Gu Nanyin played the role of Huo Beixiao. She is always in the way of being the first, never letting herself be the best. In an instant, Chen Xinhui felt that there were so many similarities between herself and Huo Huai'an. As a result, the distance between the two people has been shortened a lot.
"Mr. Huo, I understand your mood so well! Those of us who work harder than our opponents are suffering from unfair treatment from the outside world all the time! I just can't figure it out, why do those people always look at us with colored glasses? Who the hell are we messing with!? ”
Chen Xinhui's catharsis aroused Huo Huai'an's strong resonance. He took a sip and placed it on the table with a "pop".
"Miss Chen, you're not bad at all! For us, fate can only bind us for a while, and it will never bind us for a lifetime! I don't want to spend the rest of my life doing nothing, so I'm planning to make a big move against fate! If you are interested, welcome to join my camp, let's strive for a better tomorrow together! ”
Chen Xinhui's eyes widened and she asked expectantly, "...... Want to do it? ”
Huo Huai'an announced with a firm gaze: "Overthrow Huo Beixiao and stand on your own!" ”
