Chapter 21: A Thorough Con Artist

yu Building is located in Dongcheng. It has thirty-two floors. Standing underneath, you can't see anything on the higher floors, but down below, there is already a circle of auspicious people.Even the...Su He didn't wait for Bai Yihuan's invitation, but she received news that Gu Qingcheng and Shen Zhaolin were returning home early.

Accompanying them were representatives from their partners. 。A tall, fair-skinned, blue-eyed and high-nosed young mixed-race man 。The man had golden, curly hair that was soft and shiny. It was pretty and delicate, almost like a Barbie doll's. 。At the airport, many people were drawn to him. Su He even noticed a pretty girl walking back and forth at least ten times, just to get a better look at him. 。This is Amou 。During the cooperation investigation period, he will stay here all the time. 。"Shen Zhaolin smiled and introduced, dotingly pointing at Su He, "Amao, this is my daughter, Su He." 。"Long Mao's gaze was soft as he looked at Su He, extending his broad palm and saying in a pure accent, "Miss Su, it's nice to meet you! In the future, please take care of me." 。Su He always felt that his tone was too familiar, not like the initial awkwardness of a first meeting, but rather like old friends who had been separated for a long time. 。

Alas, after searching my memory, I don't remember ever meeting him.

With a polite handshake, Su He quickly withdrew her hand, but the man seemed unfazed, his gaze burning into her even more intensely. 。This time, Shen Zhaolin's project talks are a key project for Yi He Group's foray into the international market. As the person in charge, Long Mao has a lot of say in the investigation stage. 。To entertain Long Mao well and allow Su He to relax, Shen Zhao Lin arranged for Su He to stay in the Yihua Group CEO's office and entrusted her with the reception task. 。Su He knew this cooperation was crucial and did his utmost to entertain Long Mao, ensuring he felt right at home. 。

Detailed strategy, itinerary arrangement, full-time escort

Thanks to her previous experience accompanying Huo Shenxi on business trips, Su He arranged everything in an orderly manner. Even Shen Zhaolin praised her for being meticulous and thoughtful. 。Although the people in the President's Office were unhappy about Su He's sudden appointment, knowing the importance of the project, they dared not act out of line and reluctantly cooperated. Surprisingly, they found that Su He's arrangements were flawless, and Long Mao was very satisfied, having to admit her capabilities. 。

After practically touring every corner of City A, Su He looked a little more tired but felt much more energized.

As the investigation neared its end, Shen Zhao-lin decided to personally host a banquet for Long Mao. 。Su He went to the hotel to pick up someone. After getting out of the car, he walked to the restaurant with Long Mao Zhi. 。

At the entrance of the restaurant, I unexpectedly ran into Huo Chenxi.

A black suit perfectly outlined his broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. Paired with a burgundy diagonal striped tie, he exuded an air of aristocratic abstinence.

He stood out among his peers like a crane amongst chickens, immediately catching everyone's eye. The others instantly became background figures. 。

Su He, at a distance from him, inadvertently saw that face, beautiful to the point of being breathtakingly stunning, and suddenly felt as if he were looking at someone from another world.

Perhaps because she had been too busy lately, whether in reality or in her dreams, she hadn't thought of Huo Chenxi once. 。Ho Chenxi seemed a little surprised to see her. He lowered his head and said something to the people beside him. The group looked over, then patted his shoulder with laughter and walked into the restaurant. 。"Miss Su, are you alright" Long Mao noticed Su He stopping and asked with concern. 。Su He smiled and shook her head, leading him toward the restaurant. 。She stood straight, gazing ahead, as if she hadn't seen Huo Chenxi. She passed him expressionlessly. 。"Ms. Su is quite skillful." 。“With a mockingly cold voice, it echoed, ‘One only sees the newcomer’s joy, not the old one’s grief.’” 。I wonder what Storm and Moon would think seeing you with a new boyfriend so soon. 。That day at the tea restaurant, he specially ordered dishes according to her preferences, but she didn't eat a single bite. 。He rushed over after receiving a message from Huo Yirou saying they had left, only to find the place empty. There was just a table of cold dishes left, as if mocking his wishful thinking. 。After that, he finally managed to handle He Suwen's secret engagement with Bai Jia. He was rewarded with news of her and Long Mao going everywhere together, traveling mountains and waters, enjoying food, drink, and entertainment. 。He seemed to be making a conscious effort not to look for Su He, yet he acted like a stalker, checking her updates every day. 。Seeing photos and videos of her getting along well with Long Mao, his mood got worse day by day. He couldn't control his irritability even when he was immersed in work. 。

Upon learning that Shen Zhaolin was going to host Long Mao here, he specially changed the venue of his own reception to this place as well.

Upon hearing his sarcasm, Su He couldn't help but retort: "Crying over old times Speaking of which, Young Master Huo is quite the old timer himself..." 。I don't know if those words were said out of sympathy for Storm and Moon, or if they were just a way for you to speak your own mind

Huo Chenxi's forehead twitched, as if he had been struck at his secret. He gritted his teeth angrily, "Do you even know what the words 'self-respect' mean I'm truly worried that someone will find out about us and laugh at me for being blind." 。Su He couldn't help but laugh: "As long as you don't say anything, no one will know about our relationship" 。After all, I'm also afraid that people will laugh at me for being blind. 。Ho Chen Xi was speechless, seeing Su He and Long Mao Zhi about to leave. He instinctively wanted to pull her away from the blonde-haired, blue-eyed man, and grabbed her arm. 。Su He frowned, tried several times but couldn't shake him off. She said angrily, "Young Master Huo, being so persistent like this, aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you for being blind" Her tone was cold, her eyes indifferent. Huo Shen Xi suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, but he stubbornly refused to let go of her. 。"Who is he" Long Mao looked at Huo Chenxi, twirling his wrist impatiently. "Do you need help getting rid of him""An unimportant person" 。Su He shook her head at Long Mao, signaling that she didn't need his help. She turned back to Huo Chen Xi, "Huo Shao, what do you really want" Before, he despised her to the extreme, wishing he could get rid of her as soon as possible 。Since the divorce has already been granted, what does it mean to still cling on like this

What does he want

Huo Chenxi lowered his head to watch Su He gently pry his fingers apart one by one. His heart felt pierced by countless needles, a sharp and piercing pain... 。Even though he knew she was marrying him for his wealth and status, and that her every word and action was a deception, he still compromised. As long as she was willing to deceive him for a lifetime, he was willing to spend his life with her like this. 。

Even, he kept convincing himself, believing that she truly loved him, to the point where he almost believed it himself.

Until she filed for divorce and demanded a huge settlement to leave. 。

He's just a conman. It's his fault she doesn't have it.

He could see man after man appearing around her, and Huo Chenxi felt a surge of inexplicable rage and anger. A wild, frantic thought took root in his mind: he wanted to drag her back to Xingye Bay and lock her up. 。Just like before, even if it's just a deception, he only wants Su He to see him as the only man. 。But now, she won't even lie. 。Unable to bear Su He's blatant disgust, Huo Chen Xi finally helplessly released her, letting her leave with Long Mao Zhi. 。Because she met Huo Chenxi, Su He lost all her enthusiasm for the night. 。Shen Zhaolin thought she was too tired lately and broke up the gathering early. He also told the driver to send Long Mao to home, and drove Su He back himself. 。"Nannan, you've worked hard this time. In two days, I'll give you a promotion and raise." 。"Shen Zhao Lin felt both heartache and pride." 。Su He politely declined. 。She parachuted into the cutthroat world of the CEO's office. Now that she had finally gained recognition, after rising rapidly to the position of CEO's assistant, would she once again become a target 。Besides, she still has a lot to learn. 。Shen Zhaolin didn't force her either. He was happy that she wanted to lay a solid foundation, and it would be for the best. When she took over later, he would feel at ease. 。Finally arrived home, and found the atmosphere in the house was a bit strange. 。

Pai An Group Chairman Bai Mang and his wife, Jian Xin-Chun, with their bruised and battered son Bai Yi-Yang sitting in the living room, Gu Qing-Cheng sat opposite them with a plastered smile.

The coffee table in front of the sofa was piled high with all sorts of gifts. 。Seeing Su He and Shen Zao Lin return, Gu Qing Cheng, who had been relieved, hurriedly stood up to greet them, revealing the genuine smile she had worn all night. 。After dealing with Su He, Gu Qingcheng suddenly realized something, pointing at the three people on the sofa: "Look at my memory, I almost forgot there were three living people here." 。Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, and Young Master Bai came to apologize to Nannan. They said that they accidentally bumped into Nannan before. 。shielded her.Su He, who had been smiling politely all along, now had a stern expression: "Parents have indeed taught us to respect our elders. But they've also said that some people take advantage of...
