Chapter 83

out, do you think you could have stood your ground in Nancheng or within the Huo family”Fu Yan quickly replied: "Yes, Second Brother is right. You don't hit a dog unless it bites you. I appreciate Sec...As dawn broke, the room was a mess despite the absence of light.

Fu Yan lay on the messy bed, half asleep. She wasn't covered with a blanket, and the dim light from the hot spring pool shone in, faintly outlining her graceful curves. From the dip in her spine down to the swelling below, all the way to her perfect waist-to-hip ratio.

He was insatiable, demanding throughout the entire night.

He was almost unconscious, panting and biting her ear, “I'm getting engaged next week, Fu Yan.”

Dazed and confused, the words suddenly struck her heart, causing it to clench in pain. She struggled and woke up.

She sat up, gasping for breath. Looking at the messy room, she realized it was completely light outside; Huo Mingzheng had left.

I took a glance at the time, it was already 9:30. As expected, there were several missed calls on my phone, Xia's and Vice General Manager Xiao's.

She hurriedly called back to Deputy Director Xiao, claiming that she had overslept because she had taken medicine for a cold the night before.

Upon realizing this, she discovered that the slight fever she had yesterday was gone.

As soon as she thought about how Huo Mingzheng had helped her cure her cold, Fu Yan's face flushed with heat, and her body instinctively tensed up. The soreness was too intense; she couldn't help but curse.

A brand new set of clothes, her size, was placed on a footstool.

She quickly got up, washed and changed, then went to the front desk to check out.

Last night she only learned that the hot spring resort was acquired by Sheng Hai Group and Huo's Group back then, so Huo Mingzheng was also one of the developers.

If a fiancée engages in an affair on her own turf, and the scandal comes to light, how will the public perceive Huo Mingzheng

Fu Yan acknowledged that she hesitated at this moment, hating herself for being spineless. She wanted revenge on Shen Wei, but she also couldn't bear to hurt Huo Mingzheng.

If Ji Lin found out, he would definitely scold her.

After leaving the resort, she drove to a nearby drugstore and took some birth control pills.

Last night, Huo Mingzheng didn't take any safety precautions and did it several times. The chances of her getting pregnant are very high, she can't take that risk.

It was already past eleven when she arrived at the company. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Shen Wei coming out from inside, holding a file in his hand.

She didn't look well, she seemed very anxious and I bet she hadn't slept all night.

As soon as she saw Fu Yan, she couldn't find anyone to vent her anger on and couldn't help but sneer: "You came just before work ended, you might as well come in the afternoon."

Fu Yan finished punching in and looked back at her with a helpless expression. “I’m late, but who told me to love my job so much.”

Since she was promoted to Deputy Director, she got her own office. Xiaoxiao, her assistant, became her subordinate. As soon as she saw her, she had a gossipy look on her face: "Sister Yan, what did you do last night"

Fu Yan stared at her, wanting to say something but holding back. What could she possibly say

"Could it be that I went to sneak photos of restricted content last night, and ended up getting caught in the crossfire myself"

"Don't ask, little one." She pushed Xiaxia away and leaned closer.

Xia Xia muttered, "You're only two years older than me."

After Xia went out, Fu Yan took out her phone and opened the photo gallery.

Although the photos cannot be published online, bringing Shen Wei to his knees, she can anonymously send them to the Huo family.

Her thumb swiped across the screen a few times. She frowned, and swiped again, her face growing increasingly grim. Her finger began to tremble involuntarily.

She clearly took several photos and videos.

Gone

Since last night, only she has touched her phone, and she hasn't looked at the photos after waking up. There's no possibility of accidental deletion.

That's not right.

Besides her, there might be another person who bumped into her phone.

Her heart was in turmoil, she couldn't believe her own guess. She didn't have time to look it up in the address book, and instead, she pressed the sequence of numbers on the keyboard that she had memorized by heart.

The phone rang three times and was hung up.

Fu Yan again hung up, this time with two beeps.

Calling again, the other party is on a call.

Fu Yan didn't believe it and opened WeChat.

At this very moment, inside the city hall meeting room.

Huo Mingzheng's phone, which he had slapped face down on the table, rang with a WeChat notification.

He averted his gaze without a word.

Yesterday's bidding meeting saw three companies win the right to compete for a large comprehensive nursing home institution. One was Shenghai Group, another was Huo Family Group, and the other was Shen Family Group.

Sheng Hai Group was the company that, together with Huo's Group, operated a hot spring resort. Shen Shi Group is the company of the Shen family, managed by Shen Wei's uncle.

The person in charge of this bid was personally selected by Shen Rushan, the head of the department. Now that Shen Rushan has been promoted to the second-in-command of Nancheng, although he doesn't officially intervene in these matters on the surface, giving the project to a particular company is simply a matter of his word.

This project is the only one of its kind in the country, and the benefits are immeasurable.

And Shen Rushan is Shen Wei's father, Huo Mingzheng's future father-in-law, and the younger brother of the chairman of Shen Group.

So, everyone in the know understands that Sheng Hai Group is just going through the motions. As for who will ultimately win the project, it all depends on Shen Rushan's decision.

After the meeting ended, Director Shen extended his hand to Huo Mingzheng and said with a smile, "Mingzheng, you young people have plenty of opportunities. Why are you competing with us old folks"

Ho Mingzheng smirked, extending his hand to shake the other person's. "Who wouldn't take money"

President Shen's face changed slightly. This was too tactful a way of putting it.

Who doesn't know that Huo Mingzheng is the most headache-inducing opponent in the business world today Half of the profitable projects in Nancheng are in his hands, and the entire Huo family's economy has grown unprecedentedly. He has achieved so much success, yet he is still not satisfied.

This person's ambition is evident.

He strides out of the meeting room, the scattered lights sweeping across his face, a chill in his eyes.

He got into the car, took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette. The smoke dissipated, and those eyes that were filled with coldness gradually calmed down.

The car slowly drove out of the city, on a road lined with camphor trees, he took out his phone and opened WeChat.

At the top is a headshot of a delicate hand holding a bouquet of roses.

Roses are very beautiful, as radiant as the setting sun.

And that hand was even more beautiful, slender and white, delicate and boneless. Yet when it struck, it spared no effort, leaving scratches on Huo Mingzheng's back.

He held a cigarette in his left hand, and with his right thumb, he tapped open the chat box. Even through the screen, you could feel the woman's rage.

Did you delete my photoser face turn pale and then red again in an instant, he whispered, "What happened"He is familiar with this, it's a reaction after someone experiences intense fear and anxiety.He glanced at Huo Mingzhen...
