Chapter 61: Making a Deal

Chenxi threw her into the bathtub. Suddenly, seeing her silently weeping with tears streaming down her face, he was taken aback and wanted to reach out to wipe her tears, but she slapped his hand away...Su He and Huo Chenxi met at the teahouse where Bai Yihuan had invited Su He to meet before.

Speaking of which, Huo Chenxi has saved her three times already.

But every time he saved her, he would always do things that she couldn't accept.

This time, Huo Chenxi didn't explicitly say what was going on over the phone, but Su He had already guessed it.

Knowing he was going to upset her, she still came. It was because he saved her from the village.

The ancient qin's sound is melodious, and the flowing water is endlessly winding.

Long, slender fingers with clearly defined knuckles held the tea set delicately as

he brewed his tea with an air of contentment.

A faint warmth drew the outline of a breathtakingly handsome face. When he saw her, his brows relaxed and his thin lips curled into a subtle smile.

Huo Chenxi didn't expect Su He to agree to meet him.

Getting up to greet her, Huo Chenxi pointed to the opposite position, his voice filled with joy: "Ms. Su, please sit down!"

Su He lowered her eyes to look at the delicate tea set on the table, a half-smile playing on her lips. "I didn't expect that even at this time, Young Master Huo would still have the leisure to appreciate such fine things."

He is Young Master Huo, not Mr. Huo.

Since she began dealing with him on business, she has always politely and distantly called him Mr. Huo.

Huo Chenxi knew what she meant. Seeing her not sit down, he didn't mind standing with her: "I heard that President Su took over as the chairman of Yiheng Group. Congratulations!"

Su He wasn't surprised he would know this news. With a smile that didn't reach his eyes, he said: "Mr. Huo is too polite. I wonder if the Emperor Group still has the willingness to cooperate on the City South Science and Technology Park project"

This project was spearheaded by Huo Chenxi. If the CEO of Dijin Group were to change, this project would inevitably be affected, and it could even be shelved.

Ho Chenxi lowered his head and looked at Su He.

She was wearing a well-tailored white suit and high heels with a medium heel and thin straps, which made her already tall stature even more imposing.

She probably just came from the company. The makeup on her face hadn't been removed yet, and her sharply drawn eyeliner made her seem less gentle and more assertive.

Such Su He, and the girl in his memory seemed to be drifting farther and farther apart.

Ho Chenxi gestured again to the empty seat opposite him: "Mr. Su, please sit! I invited you here today to discuss a deal with you."

Su He gave him a deep look, reached up to take the bag from under her arm, and walked over to her seat, sitting down. After she was seated, Huo Chenxi returned to his previous position.

I poured Su He a cup of freshly brewed tea: "Try my prized Pu-erh."

Su He glanced at the tea he offered, but did not reach out. Huo Chen Xi saw this, his brows slightly raised, placing the porcelain white teacup in front of her and not persuading her to drink it again.

Su He didn't want to beat around the bush with him. She asked straightly, "What did Huo Shao mean by the deal just now"

Ho Chenxi poured himself a cup of tea, took a slow sip, then raised his eyes to look at Su He, his gaze clear and cold: "Mr. Su, I guarantee this project will go smoothly. You help me save someone, how about that"

Su He's face immediately darkened, and she looked at Huo Shenxi with a hint of mockery in her eyes: "Since it's a transaction, there has to be some benefit. Forgive me for being short-sighted, I can't see any sincerity from Young Master Huo."

It goes without saying that Huo Chenxi wants her to save Bai Yihuan.

Bai Yihuan attempted suicide by jumping from a building and became a vegetative state. Bai's family insisted that all of this was caused by Huo Chenxi, and netizens also sided with the Bai family, condemning and criticizing Huo Chenxi.

He already has a wife, yet he gave Bai Yihuan hope and even let her have a child. He's a total scumbag.

Although Huo Chenxi had explained to Bai Yihuan that the child in her stomach was not his, he continued to give Bai Yihuan hope, which wasn't false.

Seeing Su He clearly resist, Huo Chen Xi asked in a deep voice, "Besides the project proceeding as normal, what else do you want"

So, his position as CEO is truly precarious, and this project might even be put on hold

Su He was startled, but her face remained calm. "We can increase the profit sharing for the cooperation project by three percentage points."

Huo Chen Xi stared straight at her, Su He met his gaze unflinchingly, even offering a slight smile, showing no remorse for taking advantage of the situation.

Saving lives always comes with a cost.

Moreover, she had to save the woman she hated the most.

After a moment of silence, Huo Chenxi finally spoke: "Two o'clock."

Su He raised an eyebrow and said regretfully, "I'm sorry. I just started a new job and have been really busy lately, so I won't disturb Huo Shao."

She got up and left, her movements fluid and decisive.

"Wait." Huo Chenxi called out to her as she was about to leave, his brows furrowed tightly. Despite this, he still spoke in a low voice, "Three o'clock, as you said."

Su He paused for a moment, then turned back to Huo Chen Xi after three seconds: "Then thank you, Mr. Huo. After the contract is signed, I'll go save the person you mentioned. But I can't guarantee the outcome."

Ho Chenxi chuckled wryly: "I wonder, CEO Su, you seem so adept at business negotiations."

Su He raised an eyebrow and smiled: "You don't even know how much more there is."

After three years of marriage, she didn't understand him as much as she thought she did, and he felt the same way about her.

Regardless of what relationship Bai Yihuan and he have, he is willing to let her suffer for Bai Yihuan, even knowing that she dislikes it, he still goes to her for help three or two times for Bai Yihuan. This speaks volumes.

Out of gratitude for all he had done for her in the village, she agreed to save Bai Yihuan on the condition that she would receive three points' worth of benefits.

However, even that flicker of insignificant feeling she had rekindled there would be extinguished to ashes along with her complete treatment of Bai Yihuan.

With the terms agreed upon, Su He wasted no more time: "Young Master Huo has revised the contract, feel free to contact me at any time. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb your leisure, Young Master Huo."

After she finished speaking, she left without looking back.

Staring at her departing figure, Huo Chenxi only felt something slipping away quietly. He instinctively wanted to reach out and stop her, but when he thought of his current situation, he finally retracted his hand.

Su He returned home and learned that she had successfully raised the profit share for the collaboration project with Di Jin Group by three points. Shen Zhaolin was not happy about this, but instead looked worried.

Given Huo Chenxi's current situation, how could he possibly agree to let go of three points

Su He sneered and said, "Compared to giving him a discount, wouldn't it be more fatal to change our cooperative partner"

Shen Zhaolin's expression was slightly unnatural: "You already know"

Su He looked at Shen Zhao Lin in surprise. "Know what"

Shen Zhaolin waved his hand. "It's nothing, just the second branch of the Huo family extending an olive branch, trying to persuade us to change our cooperation partner."

Su He let out a light laugh: "Who will die remains to be seen, he seems very anxious."

Shen Zhaolin looked at Su He, his heart pounding as he asked, "You think highly of Huo Chenxi"

He Chenxi saved her twice, Shen Zhaolin was truly worried that his precious daughter would fall for He Chenxi again.

Su He caught the meaning in Shen Zhao Lin's words and calmly said, "The second branch of the Huo family has always been hotheaded, and Huo Chen Yi even more so. Back when Old Madam Huo was still alive, they tried to vie for the position of chairman of the group, even going so far as to collude with outsiders to scheme against Huo Chen Xi."

As a result, Huo Chenxi played him, not only did he fail to take over the CEO position, but in the end, he almost got fired.

These past few years have gone by, and I didn't expect them to still be so relentless.

Initially, when she divorced Huo Chenxi, Huo Chenyi also contacted her, wanting to buy back the shares that Grandma Huo had left her.

No matter how inadequate Huo Chenxi may be, he was still the heir chosen by Grandmother Huo for the Huo family.

At the critical juncture when Huo Chenxi and Huo Chenyi were vying for power, she never intended to side with Huo Chenyi.s grandmother and said he had something to tell her.Isn't this what you wanted to sayHe once protected Bai Yihuan so fiercely, even willing to bear the scorn and criticism without saying a bad word ab...
