Chapter 18

d up his chopsticks and put a dumpling in her bowl.Fu Yan nodded slightly, she had a grasp of the situation in her heart."Now that it's been determined, what happens next has nothing to do with you."...Fangxin Group is located right across from the Huo family, in the prime CBD area where land is worth its weight in gold.

And Fu Yan's new company is located in the old business street, and people from Nancheng divide these two areas as the new district and the old district.

It takes more than an hour to drive from the new district to the old district.

After getting off the car, Fu Yan subconsciously looked at the majestic Huo's Building across the street bathed in sunlight. Then, she brought Xia Xiao into Fangxin Building.

"Hello, my name is Fu Yan from the New Cheng project department. I have made a phone appointment with Mr. Duan from your business department."

"One moment, please. I'm just confirming."

After a minute, the front desk shook her head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Duan has gone out."

"Where did you go" Fu Yan was surprised. She remembered Manager Duan's evasive attitude on the phone, and a bad feeling had settled in her heart at the time.

She dared to conclude that Manager Duan was still at Fangxin.

She took out her phone and called Duan's manager, but the call went straight to voicemail. She tried again, only to find that the line was disconnected.

"What's wrong, Xia," Xiao Xia trembled.

Fu Yan was about to comfort her, but when she turned around, she saw Duan Manager's secretary walk in through the revolving door, carrying a bag and humming a little tune.

She pulled Xia over and stopped the other person: "Secretary Xiao, buying coffee"

Xiao the secretary was startled, meeting Fu Yan's harmless smile. She paused, then gave an awkward smile, "Miss Fu."

She nervously hid the coffee behind her.

Fu Yan meant deeply, "I remember Manager Duan likes this flavor of coffee, not too much sugar and no milk, Xiao Secretary, right"

Xiaomis secretary gave a dry laugh and hurriedly ran towards the elevator.

"Hey!" Fu Yan wanted to tell her to slow down, worried she'd sprain her ankle.

"Sister Yan, what should we do now" Xia hurriedly stomped her feet. "Manager Duan is clearly still siding with Fang Xin; he just refuses to see us."

The other party isn't even answering the phone now, it looks like this trip might be for nothing.

Fu Yan embraced her shoulders and said firmly, "If we don't go, we'll just wait here. We worked so hard to negotiate this project. Are you willing to give up like this"

Xiaxia shook her head and remained silent.

Fuyan knew she was blaming herself, "Alright, cheer up, now's not the time to give up."

The executive elevator stopped on the first floor.

The elevator doors opened, and a middle-aged man in a dark grey suit was Fang Xin's general manager. He held the second highest authority in the company after the chairman.

But now he was standing respectfully beside a young man in a black suit.

"Mr. Huo, thank you so much this time. Without your vote, I'm afraid I would have been in a very difficult situation today."

The man took long strides, his sharp features cast in shadow and light. His brows were furrowed, his expression cold as he said softly, "You deserve this."

Ho Mingzheng wasn't the type who liked being flattered, and the other party didn't dare to say too much for fear of offending him. They kept it brief and personally escorted him out of the company.

Opposite is the hall waiting area.

"Mr. Huo, it's Miss Fu," Cao Fang whispered beside him.

Huo Mingzheng's footsteps paused, and he raised his eyes to look over.

Fù Yánzhēng was leaning her head to the side, whispering something to the girl beside her. Her smoky purple suit made her skin appear even more delicately fair.

Because she was slightly bending over, the area around her chest that was already tight became even more prominent.

Several men have been sneakily eyeing her.

Huo Mingzheng's face darkened, his fingers rubbing over his ring finger. He walked out of the revolving door and Fang Xin, the general manager, personally sent him to his car.nd unreal. Fu Yan was startled.The car slowly drove into the residential area.Her heartbeat was racing. She wanted to lie and say yes, but she couldn't resist Huo Mingzheng's influence over her after...
