Chapter 820: Straight to the Heart

Editor: Henyee Translations

Putting everything else aside, just Xu Dong’s greeting alone didn’t sound pleasant. Coupled with the fact that the other party had appeared a few times in Huo Yichen’s mouth, it was obvious that he was an opponent. Murong Qiao didn’t intend to show any cordiality.

“It’s rare to see Young Miss Murong here.”

However, although Murong Qiao had no intention of talking to the other party, Xu Dong looked interested and took the initiative to speak.

Murong Qiao didn’t understand what he wanted to do. “Then perhaps you’ll see me come over often in the future. After all, we’ll be neighbors soon.”

“That’s not bad.” A smile appeared on Xu Dong’s face. “However, looking at Young Miss Murong, you don’t seem to know that President Huo is still trapped in the conference room, right?”

The word “trapped” was a little strange. Murong Qiao immediately turned to look at him. She stopped walking into the office and stood still to look at Xu Dong.

As if discovering that his words had worked, Xu Dong seemed as if he’d gained the initiative.

“Everyone has seen President Huo’s recent results. However, if he stays in such a position at such a young age, there will always be criticism. It might not be surprising if he can’t hold on to the position one day…”

Although Xu Dong called him President Huo, there was no hint of respect in his tone. On the contrary, Murong Qiao even felt that the other party sounded a little disdainful.

Murong Qiao didn’t show any weakness after being stabbed.

She smiled openly and stood on the spot to look at Xu Dong, her gaze not avoiding him at all.

“I think my husband’s ability and results are outstanding. The Huo Corporation will definitely flourish in his hands in the future.”

“On the other hand, you—”

When she said the last sentence, Murong Qiao dragged out her voice slightly. Then, her gaze couldn’t help but sweep up and down as she sized up Xu Dong.

“Maybe you’ll retire in a few days? You’re already so old, but you still have to think about the company. It’s really hard on you.”

Murong Qiao returned the other party’s words with a smile, making Xu Dong’s smile freeze.

He had not interacted with Murong Qiao much, so Xu Dong didn’t know that Murong Qiao could be so infuriating.

He was a little angered by the other party’s words, but when he thought of his agreement with Huo Xiuyuan, his mood improved a lot.

Xu Dong was not tripped by this clumsy provocation. Instead, he looked at Murong Qiao meaningfully.

“Instead of worrying about my retirement, Young Miss Murong, why don’t you think about whether you’re just a stepping stone for someone?”

Xu Dong’s intention to sow discord couldn’t be more obvious.

According to Xu Dong’s understanding, before Huo Yichen returned to the Huo Family, he had already interacted with Murong Qiao in high school. When he returned to the Huo Family later, he got involved with Murong Qiao in university.

His words made sense, but unfortunately, Xu Dong’s method was not used in the right place. At the very least, Murong Qiao didn’t take it to heart at all.

“Instead of worrying about our relationship, why don’t you think about how to deal with your inheritance?”

Suddenly, a voice interrupted their conversation.

Without even turning her head, Murong Qiao recognized the voice.

Then, Murong Qiao felt a hand on her shoulder which pulled her an embrace.

These words made Xu Dong lose his composure.

Putting aside the company, his second worry recently was that his sons had fallen out.

It was unreasonable for someone like him to not have any illegitimate children outside.

However, Xu Dong had a biological son and two illegitimate children outside. They had been causing a lot of trouble recently.

Not to mention anything else, even before he retired, his sons were already thinking about who would inherit his assets first.

This rather unfilial behavior made Xu Dong’s head hurt every time he thought of it. However, it was all his son’s fault. He didn’t teach him well and expected better from him.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Xu Dong, who usually schemed against his opponents and devoured them, could be considered to have received some retribution at home.

These words pierced his heart.

“President Huo, I was about to look for you.” Seeing that the person he was waiting for had arrived, Xu Dong simply lost interest in talking to Murong Qiao and changed the topic.

“If it’s about the East and West Districts, there’s no need to say anything.” As if knowing what he was thinking, Huo Yichen directly rejected it and pulled Murong Qiao into the office, not even giving Xu Dong a chance to speak.

Xu Dong had originally thought that even if he returned empty-handed this time, he would still get a piece of meat from this side. However, he didn’t expect the other party to enter without even giving him a chance to speak.

Ye Zhen who followed behind naturally didn’t slow down. Xu Dong’s expression immediately darkened.

He tried his best to hold back the urge to laugh and stood in front of Xu Dong with a serious and tense expression.

“Our President has other arrangements today. Why don’t you go back?”

Although he said that, everyone knew what he meant.

Xu Dong stood at the office door, took a look at the tightly shut door, and finally left with a dark expression.

Ye Zhen watched as the other party’s back gradually disappeared into the distance and couldn’t help but laugh. There was a hint of schadenfreude in his expression. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Who asked Xu Dong to always go against the President during meetings of the board of directors? He was extremely angry just by standing at the side. This time, he had suffered a setback.

After Xu Dong left the office, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His house was in a mess, and so was the company. He had also been schemed against recently, so after thinking about it, he still called Huo Xiuyuan.

Huo Xiuyuan picked up Xu Dong’s call very quickly. After all, they were temporary partners, so he couldn’t slack off.

“You’ve caused me a huge loss this time.” Xu Dong questioned Huo Xiuyuan as soon as he opened his mouth.

This time, Xu Dong had only joined forces with Huo Xiuyuan after receiving the news. He didn’t expect to be schemed against and suffer a loss.

Huo Xiuyuan was not in a hurry. “Could it be that I didn’t suffer a loss?”

“Coincidentally, I wanted to meet you.” He then changed the topic.

Xu Dong also felt that there was a need to meet. “The same as last time?”

“No, let’s go somewhere else.” Huo Xiuyuan rejected his words.

This time, they had been schemed against. It was obvious that the other party already knew that the two of them had colluded.

He thought that he didn’t reveal any clues. In fact, every operation and meeting could be considered very hidden.

However, for some reason, Huo Yichen still found out that the two of them had colluded.

For the sake of caution, Huo Xiuyuan decided to change the meeting place this time.

“I’ll send you the address when the time comes.” Just as Huo Xiuyuan was about to continue, he heard a call tone on his cell phone. He took it out and realized that it was an incoming call.

Although there was no caller ID, he had already found it familiar after receiving calls from the same phone number for a few days.

“…Let’s not talk about this for now. I still have something on.” Huo Xiuyuan hung up..
