Chapter 773:1 Have To Thank You

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the compet.i.tor’s information, Huo Yichen didn’t see Huo Xiuyuan. He guessed that the other party had used some unconventional method to insert himself into the bidding.

However, he didn’t look surprised. He sat opposite Huo Xiuyuan and waited for the bidding to begin. He didn’t say a word, as if he was ignoring Huo Xiuyuan.

Seeing that Huo Yichen was ignoring him, Huo Xiuyuan immediately felt a little embarra.s.sed.

His expression was slightly sullen, as if he was about to flare up. However, he seemed to have thought of something and returned to his previous smile.

This reaction stunned Ye Zhen, who followed Huo Yichen in later.

Although Ye Zhen didn’t know Huo Xiuyuan very well, he knew that the other party was not someone who could hide his thoughts.

But this behavior—

Not long after Huo Yichen sat down, the project manager who could decide on the bidding walked in.

“Please tell us your bidding plan.” The other party gestured.

This time, only the Huo Corporation and Huo Xiuyuan were partic.i.p.ating in the bidding. Although there were not many people, ordinary people couldn’t even get the right to partic.i.p.ate, let alone sit here.

“I’ll start first.” Huo Xiuyuan stood up impatiently.

It seemed a little subtle to say that he couldn’t wait. What made Ye Zhen feel that it was accurate was that he was anxious to beat Huo Corporation.

The person-in-charge had no objections, and the booth was already prepared for Huo Xiuyuan.

Soon, Huo Yichen understood why Huo Xiuyuan was so smug.

This was because the plan and various data he took out were very similar to what the Huo Corporation had prepared.

To say that they were similar was to praise the other party. In fact, Huo Yichen had just seen the plan before coming. Even most of the numbers were identical.

There was a traitor in the Huo Corporation.

Almost immediately, Huo Yichen thought of this when he saw Huo Xiuyuan

take out the plan.

If he remembered correctly, the data this time was given by the finance department. The estimated data in all aspects was no different from the one Huo Xiuyuan had taken out.

Ye Zhen, who was standing beside Huo Yichen, clearly realized this and frowned.

As if seeing that this expression pleased Huo Xiuyuan, he even p.r.o.nounced the last sentence with an indescribable provocation.

“This is the pre-selection plan I’ve prepared. Thank you.” Huo Xiuyuan smiled and ended the report.

The person-in-charge’s approval was almost written all over his face. After Huo Xiuyuan finished speaking, he even applauded to express his approval.

How could it not be good? That plan was made by them.

Seeing the person in charge clap, Ye Zhen immediately wanted to kill Huo

Xiuyuan.

However, no matter what the truth was, after Huo Xiuyuan finished speaking,

it was the Huo Corporation’s turn.

“President Huo, your side-” The person-in-charge looked over.

Staring at Huo Xiuyuan’s smug gaze, Huo Yichen stood up calmly.

He stood on it and inserted the USB drive he had long prepared. Then, the relevant information appeared on the screen.

“This is the plan we prepared this time.”

Huo Yichen calmly released the other plan he had prepared.

Huo Xiuyuan’s originally expectant gaze landed on Huo Yichen. He was waiting for the other party to embarra.s.s himself in public. In the end, he had no choice but to give the bidding to him.

However, when he saw Huo Yichen take out a plan that was completely different from his as if he was prepared, he immediately had a bad feeling.

Huo Xiuyuan subconsciously sat up straight, but no one paid attention to him at this moment. Everyone was looking at Huo Yichen and listening to his introduction.

The plan that Huo Yichen had taken out could be said to be an advanced version of Huo Xiuyuan’s.

He even directly pointed out the shortcomings of Huo Xiuyuan’s version and compared it to his own. His words were calm but secretly sharp, making Huo Xiuyuan furious.

Huo Yichen naturally knew very well what flaws the original plan had. After all, this was the plan to attack the Huo Corporation.

In the end, the bidding naturally went to the Huo Corporation.

However, after walking out of the room, Huo Xiuyuan looked at Huo Yichen unhappily. Clearly, he had also realized that he had been tricked.

“You’re still the same,” Huo Yichen said calmly, as if he couldn’t sense Huo Xiuyuan’s hostility towards him.

As soon as he spoke, he stood above Huo Xiuyuan, as if he was mocking him.

The smile on Huo Xiuyuan’s face froze. “Don’t be too smug.”

“Speaking of which, I still have to thank you.”

Huo Yichen smiled slightly, his expression extremely sincere. “It’s all thanks to you that the Huo Corporation is so clean now.”

Huo Xiuyuan had been so sincere in poaching people some time ago. Those who were tempted had all left, and those who could stay were all loyal people.

This time, Huo Yichen didn’t even have to do it himself. He simply walked through the “cleaning mode”.

“You!” Huo Xiuyuan was furious.

Huo Yichen didn’t give him a chance to finish speaking and left.

Such an att.i.tude was enough to anger anyone who was treated like this, let alone Huo Xiuyuan, whose plan had been disrupted at the last minute.

So it turned out that the people he had spent so much money to poach back were so insignificant in the other party’s eyes.

He watched angrily as Huo Yichen walked away. Then, he took out his phone and typed out an interrogative message.

[You messed up my project today.]

The cold words highlighted Huo Xiuyuan’s disappointment and frustration. Moreover, Huo Yichen’s words were like a thorn in Huo Xiuyuan’s heart. It immediately reminded him of his unhappiness over the past few days, and his face darkened.

Although the people who had been poached from the Huo Corporation had settled down in the company under him, settling down was one thing, and obeying was another.

Those who were tempted by benefits could naturally leave in the same way.

Not to mention that Huo Xiuyuan’s talent in managing the company and control over people’s hearts were far inferior to Huo Yichen’s. These few days, the employees had been echoing him on the surface, but they were actually not loyal to Huo Xiuyuan at all.

Coupled with what Huo Yichen had just said, Huo Xiuyuan was even more furious.

Huo Yichen and Ye Zhen left the bidding area and prepared to return to the Huo Corporation.

Ye Zhen was starting the car when he heard Huo Yichen suddenly speak from the backseat.

“Check with the Finance Department. Someone must have tampered with today’s matter,” he said.

After learning that Xu Dong and Huo Xiuyuan had joined forces, Huo Yichen had been on guard against these two people.

Needless to say, he knew Huo Xiuyuan’s temper very well. He had naturally expected this plan. He had prepared two sets and placed the simple version on the surface. As expected, it was stolen by Huo Xiuyuan.

Perhaps Huo Xiuyuan also trusted the Huo Corporation completely. He had never thought that the proposal he had brought was a half-finished product. The confidence he had when he took it out was so strong that it made people want to laugh.

Ye Zhen naturally nodded and agreed solemnly.

Since Huo Xiuyuan had already given them a clue, Ye Zhen naturally didn’t dare to relax at all. He immediately returned to the company and started investigating this matter.

If something happened to the Finance Department, the first person to know was Huo Qiuguang.

“How is that possible?” As soon as he heard that the problem was with them, Huo Qiuguang immediately stood up and tried to argue. “I mean-”

“Could the problem not be with us…”

Staring at Ye Zhen’s cold gaze that seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts, Huo Qiuguang felt a little uncertain after saying this.

Ye Zhen’s att.i.tude was cold. “I’m informing you, not discussing it.”

“I hope Manager Huo can give me an answer by tomorrow..”
