Chapter 619: Taking Advantage of Him

The partner seemed to have understood something. Before Murong Qiao could comprehend it, she heard the other party say right on the heels of that.

“Since Young Miss Murong is Mr. Cen’s friend, there’s definitely no problem with this cooperation!” The partner generously affirmed Murong Qiao.

“We can just sign the contract!”

From the looks of it, there was no need for Murong Qiao to discuss further. The partner took the initiative to come knocking on her door and even gave her a lot of benefits in front of Cen Qianmo.

Murong Qiao looked at this strange process and immediately frowned. “About the contract—”

“I’ll get someone to sign the contract at CG later! I won’t waste your time!” The partner interrupted.

Before Murong could say anything, the other party left first.

No matter how insensitive she was, she should have understood when she saw her partner give up the benefits so decisively in front of Cen Qianmo.

By rounding it up, wasn’t she taking advantage of Cen Qianmo?

Considering that the two of them were not familiar with each other yet, Murong Qiao sighed softly and turned to look at Cen Qianmo, who had yet to leave. For a moment, she had mixed feelings.

“Looks like I’ve caused you some trouble… I’m sorry.” Cen Qianmo looked apologetic.

Murong Qiao shook her head. Cen Qianmo had at most come over to greet her. Who knew that her partner… had such a rich imagination?

She only felt a little helpless. “It’s considered a favor.”

“But I don’t like to owe people favors,” Murong Qiao explained. “Is there anything I can help you with?”

She was suddenly helped by Cen Qianmo. Although it was a good thing that she didn’t have to go through the trouble of discussing the collaboration, it was not good to take advantage of others.

When Cen Qianmo heard her say this, he pondered for a moment before answering, “There’s indeed something I need Young Miss Murong’s help with.”

“My company is planning to discuss the investment for the second season of Flicker recently. As far as I know, Young Miss Murong is also one of the organizers of the first season. Why don’t you help me set up a connection?” Cen Qianmo asked.

The first season of Flicker was jointly held by four companies. It was quite popular, and the second season would definitely be held. It had already become a national program now, and almost everyone would watch it from time to time during dinner.

Due to the fact that Cen Qianmo had just returned to the country recently, the company also needed to make a certain amount of reputation for everyone to know them, so Flicker became the best choice.

“Sure,” Murong Qiao agreed. “But this isn’t a big deal. I’ll just tell the director.”

After that charity auction, Murong Qiao also learned a little about Cen Qianmo’s company. It specialized in all kinds of technological products and had many subsidiary companies that were also making a crazy profit. It was almost comparable to Shengjing Group.

“To me, this is already a huge favor.”

Cen Qianmo liked Murong Qiao’s straightforward personality. There was no need to beat around the bush when talking to such a person.

As the director of Flicker, Xu Zhuo couldn’t be happier about the investment that had descended from the sky. Moreover, it was from someone like Cen Qianmo.

Murong Qiao, who didn’t need to work now, returned to the company in advance. When she returned, it was still the afternoon. Jiang Chi was a little surprised to see Murong Qiao.

Murong Qiao sat on the desk. She felt that he had neglected something, but she couldn’t remember what it was.

It was only when her gaze swept across the cell phone that she finally realized that Huo Yichen didn’t seem to have sent her a message today.

In the past, no matter what happened, she would always receive good mornings and goodnights from Huo Yichen and chat with him. However, today, he didn’t send anything. Something was definitely wrong.

She picked up her phone and couldn’t figure out what was going on. She originally planned to call Huo Yichen, but she was afraid that the other party was working and would disturb him. In the end, she picked out Ye Zhen’s phone number from her contacts.

When Ye Zhen received Murong Qiao’s call, he was overwrought. “Young Miss Murong?”

The voice on the other end sounded rushed, and the background sound was a little chaotic.

In fact, before receiving the call, Ye Zhen was still in the conference room listening to the board of directors making things difficult for Huo Yichen.

Ever since Huo Yichen stepped into a trap and messed up the cooperation, the board of directors had been holding on to this mistake and didn’t let go.

No matter what kind of collaboration Huo Yichen negotiated later, it couldn’t change this matter. If he did it right, it was just what Huo Yichen should do. If he did something wrong, they would directly mention the mistake of the previous collaboration.

In the past few days alone, Ye Zhen, who had been following Huo Yichen, felt that his mind was filled with the words of those old men from the board of directors. When he went to get a cup of coffee, he could hear someone in the company talking about the President.

Ye Zhen, who had been under a lot of pressure these past few days, felt that he was about to lose his hair at such a young age, let alone Huo Yichen, who was still being “strangled” by the board of directors in the meeting room and wanted him to hand over his position.

Ye Zhen glanced at the meeting room and saw that the people led by Xu Dong and Zheng Qiguang were still talking to Huo Yichen.

“Although we all understand that the Huo Corporation will always belong to the Huo Family, you’re still young and clearly not capable enough to control the company. As the CEO, even one mistake is fatal.”

Xu Dong said righteously, “We’ve already suffered a lot of losses this time. Moreover, after the negotiation failed and we changed partners, there were many problems with the business quality inspection.”

“The company can survive the mistake this time, but what about the next time? Who can say for sure?”

Zheng Qiguang also echoed, but he seemed to be a lot more earnest. “We’re not asking for too much. It’s just that for the sake of the company, the position of CEO needs to be given to the most suitable person.”

Not to mention anything else, the word hypocritical was vividly interpreted by Zheng Qiguang.

In the name of doing this for the sake of the company, Zheng Qiguang and Xu Dong clearly wanted Huo Yichen to give up his position. Moreover, it was not only his position, but also the shares.

Xu Dong planned to help Huo Hong. In that case, Huo Yichen’s position would definitely return to Huo Hong in the future.

Huo Yichen watched the two of them “perform” in front of him. His hands were crossed under his chin, and his expression was so calm that no one could tell what he was thinking.

However, when Ye Zhen saw this anxious situation outside, he only felt that his President was being “bullied” crazily.

“I have something to ask you.” Murong Qiao frowned. “Is Ah Chen very busy today?”

“It’s… not considered busy,” Ye Zhen stammered.

Huo Yichen had specially instructed him not to tell Murong Qiao about what had happened in the company.

Huo Yichen had never wanted Murong Qiao to worry about him, so he emphasized this matter to Ye Zhen. However, he didn’t expect Murong Qiao to take the initiative to call today, and it was Ye Zhen.

If it was Huo Yichen himself, he would definitely not be able to hide it, but Ye Zhen—

Ye Zhen took two steps forward to get closer to the conference room.

Letting Young Miss Murong hear these things herself shouldn’t be counted as me saying it, right? Ye Zhen thought in his heart.

He definitely didn’t want the President to be suppressed by the board of directors like this. Those sarcastic words over the past few days made him angry.

This time, there was no need to ask Ye Zhen. Murong Qiao clearly heard the background noise through Ye Zhen’s phone.

The meeting room was not completely soundproof. Coupled with the fact that Ye Zhen was close, Murong Qiao heard Xu Dong and Zheng Qiguang’s sanctimonious words clearly..
