CEO is Picky but Handsome - Chapter 33

After the meal, the two kids rush to wash the dishes. Ye Ling squeezes the detergent for them, Ye Rui foams, Huo Xiaoming rinses the water, rinses the foam clean, and hands the bowl to his dad in passing, and Mr. Huo Jun happily arranges all the dishes neatly, even the patterns on the chopsticks are all smoothed out in a row, looking like an honor guard review.
After the chores were done, the two kids continued to run off and play wildly, and the two dads sat in the living room watching TV and eating fruit. Ye Ling peeled an apple and cut it into pieces with a knife, taking care of Huo Jun’s mood and arranging a four-square square. Huo Zhun look through the body, can not bear to eat, it is not easy to eat a piece, sweet off the teeth, but also can not care about perfectionism, toothpicks inserted in the pulp, not a moment to eat all the finished.
Ye Ling asked him, “Do you want more? I’ll peel another one?”
Huo Zhun shakes his head, “No, I’ll eat it myself. By the way, I have something for you.”
He got up and pulled out a large envelope from the briefcase he was carrying and handed it over to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling looked at him suspiciously and opened the envelope. Fingers went in and explored it, and his expression suddenly became very wonderful.
Then, he carefully pulled out a document from the envelope – to be exact, it was a tape-covered document that had once been shredded into pieces, but was now spliced together and intact.
“You …… “Ye Ling’s heart is like a paste, can’t say whether it is touched or crying, “Are you no boring?”
“I thought you’d be touched.” Huo quasi skimmed his mouth, sat down next to him, “from the shredder to find out on the use of a long time, and then a word by word against the patchwork, with the tape sticking up, a little mistake can not be made …… these days I did not sleep on a whole sleep, dreaming of all in the jigsaw puzzle, tired of my arm pain cervical spine pain, the most important is the …… look at my dark circles under my eyes.”
Huo Zhun came close to Ye Ling, pointing to the black eye circles that seem like they should exist practically nowhere to be seen tsk tsk: “Why do you think those girls like jigsaw puzzles? It’s so exhausting.”
“You deserve it.” Ye Ling rubs the document in her hand, Huo Jun didn’t paste it well, he’s not considered to be a handy person with patience, but the whole document isn’t wrong at all, every word that was torn into two halves has returned to where it should be, and if she doesn’t know the content of the document in exact detail, she may not be able to restore the document so accurately, “I haven’t slept for many days in order to write this either, and you’re surprised that you’ve said Shattered just shattered.”
Ye Ling’s tone carries an unintentional rancor, which is diametrically opposed to his usual slightly distant tone. Huo Zhun looks at his joyful appearance and instantly feels that his tired and sore back is worth it.
“Actually, what you’ve found out about all this, I’ve known about it for a long time, earlier than any of you.” Only after Ye Ling precious and weighty puts the documents back into the large envelope does Huo Zhun slowly speak, “Everyone in the company probably thinks I’m a fool. Every day, I sit in the president’s office on the thirty-second floor and only show my face once in a while. Wearing cat ears and dancing during the annual meeting, I’m sure I’m usually no smarter than a cat. That’s why Project Team 2 chose to resolve things on their own when something went wrong, and Gu Xinzhang also had the audacity to make a move right under my nose.”
Ye Ling didn’t say anything, his intuition told him that things were far more complicated than he imagined.
“Ye Ling, this time Rong Sheng sneaked into N country, you find it unexpected, don’t you?” Huo Zhun suddenly changed the topic, not talking about Gu Xinzhang, but chatting about Rong Sheng.
Ye Ling was slightly stunned and nodded.
“Actually, Rong Sheng has long started reaching out to N Country. About two or three years ago, I received news that someone was secretly acquiring the shares of a listed company in N country. The other party was financially strong, aggressive, and skillful in their methods, so they managed to conceal themselves from the regulators and successfully hold many listed companies in a short period of time. I felt something was wrong and sent people to investigate, but there have been no results.” Huo Zhun paused, “Until this time, Rong Sheng quietly sneaked into the N country to kidnap you, and the city’s dignitaries were even explicitly and secretly unwilling to make a sound, I just moved in my heart, and then sent people to check, and sure enough, in recent years, a few well-known acquisitions of the investment company behind the scenes belong to Rong’s.”
“Why does Rong Sheng want to hold so many N-country companies across the border?” Ye Ling frowned in deep thought, “According to common sense, Rong’s industry is single, if Rong Sheng wants to broaden his influence within the replacement industry, investing in other companies is not a bad way. But I guess this game is not that simple.”
“Broaden the industry? Virtuous circulation? Ye Ling, do you think that Rong Sheng is a steady man?” Huo Zhun laughed.
Ye Ling also shook his head mockingly, “One of his favorite things to do in his life is to gamble, and when he wins, he has 10,000 grand, and when he loses …… he hasn’t lost so far. I understand, this time Rong Sheng is also gambling. He wants to cause turmoil in the stock market of Country N by holding a number of listed companies, ultimately profiting the Rong’s within Country F.”
“If he succeeds, it would be similar to an economic crisis. Even if Rong Sheng has the guts to do it, he still has to have the skills. I’m guessing that he’s about contacted the upper echelons of Country F, and those people are secretly giving him the green light.” Huo Zhun changed his posture, his body inadvertently leaning closer to Ye Ling, “But he’s out of luck, even if he tosses it around like this, he’s not sure he can disrupt the N country’s stock market in one fell swoop. Guess why?”
The smile on his face was too bright, as if he had secretly gloated about it for many times and finally found a chance to vent.
Ye Ling looked at him helplessly and asked, “Is this the reason why Rong Sheng found Gu Xinzhang to cooperate with him?”
“No, I guess, until now, Gu Xinzhang might not be completely sure who his master really is.” Huo Zhun, however, said.
Ye Ling was a bit shocked, “Isn’t Rong Sheng sneaking into N country ……”
“No, your inference in the document is not correct.” Huo Jun said, “Gu Xinzhang was indeed abroad at the time, and he only realized that you were kidnapped afterwards. However, I guess with his shrewdness, he’s only afraid that he’s already realized that his real boss is Rong Sheng by now.”
Huo Zhun’s strings have a sound, and Ye Ling understands it as soon as she hears it, “There’s still an intermediary between Gu Xinzhang and Rong Sheng?”
“That person is Rong Sheng’s true beloved. He has a supreme position in N. He can both speak for Rong Sheng and his words carry weight. I even suspect that he is one of the top executives of the Phoenix Group, or even one of the shareholders, otherwise with Gu Xinzhang’s calculations, he wouldn’t be willing to be at his mercy if the two of them hadn’t reached a deal with generous benefits.” Huo Zhun said.
“Who is that person?” Ye Ling asked.
“I can’t find out.” Huo Jun let out a laugh with a raised eyebrow, “He’s too deeply hidden for me to find out. That’s why I tolerate Gu Xinzhang’s actions and even turn a blind eye to him. I’m going to use him to draw out that person’s fox tail.”
“Even if you gamble on this sponsorship declaration?” Ye Ling frowns disapprovingly.
Huo Jun just smiles, but looking at his chesty look, he knows that he must have left a backhand.
Wait a minute …… backhand?
Ye Ling looks thoughtfully at the envelope in his hand, his gaze gradually becoming somber.
“Mr. Huo,” he raises his head and looks at Huo Jun with a smirk, “You’ve known all this for a long time, and you’re still asking me to investigate?”
Huo Zhun laughs halfway through, coldly surprised by Ye Ling’s discovery of the point he’s been trying to hide, a breath doesn’t come up and he chokes there.
“Do you want to test my ability?” This is a common problem for President Huo and even leaders all over the world, so Ye Ling asks with certainty.
“Uh……” Huo Jun struggles to organize his vocabulary.
However before the words could take shape in his mind, Ye Ling’s next question arrived.
“And you stabbed me with words, forcing me to leave my post?” It’s fine if you don’t think about it, but once you do, many things become out of place, “The recent rumors, did you have a hand in them as well?”
“No no, those rumors have nothing to do with me.”Mr. Huo waved his hands repeatedly, “I don’t know who made up those nonsense, I can only say that the wisdom of the people is infinite ……”
“Mr. Huo,” Ye Ling interrupted him sharply. “You don’t like people treating you like a fool, and neither do I. What exactly are you trying to do?”
“You’re right, acquiescing to your investigation was indeed to test your abilities.” Huo Zhun sat up straight, “I have something that I want to give you to do ……”
