Chapter 143: Before the wings have grown hard, the soft underbelly has already grown
"In fact, Xin Suyan's family background is pretty good. If Huo Rongtian chooses her, it would be considered a good match, right?"
Ding Yirou tested cautiously.
"It's just a small famous city. For the Huo family, it can't even get a place in the team."
"Then was Huo's announcement of Huo Rongtian's marriage a long-planned move?"
"I believe that my father must have used some special means to put pressure on him, so he has to make it public."
Huo Rongxin raised his eyes and glanced at Ding Yirou.
"What means?"
"Maybe he discovered his weakness? I'm just guessing. I don't have time to study him."
A man who says one thing and means another;
Mingming often inquired about his information from Ding Yirou.
"Do you have a weakness?"
"I do not have."
Huo Rongxin looked at her firmly without any hesitation.
Ding Yirou avoided his gaze subconsciously.
I regretted asking such a personal question.
Even if he had, he wouldn't say it.
What's more, she was just his secretary.
But the look in his eyes still made her inexplicably panic.
"So Xin Suyan is his weak spot? In other words, your family wants to deal with her?"
"That's understandable. Huo Rongtian's wings haven't grown strong yet, but he has already developed a weak spot. He has been hiding Xin Suyan for so long, and the leaders of Jiangcheng know about it. Father will definitely teach him a lesson."
"So what you mean is that this car accident was an accident?"
"Probably not. But, you know, powerful people don't hesitate to create accidents."
Ding Yirou shuddered.
Do you have to gain the right to choose your own life?
"This time, the Harbour City project was signed by Rong Tian. At the shareholders' meeting at the end of the year, you will run for the position of chairman again, right?"
"I won't give him that chance."
"What do you want?"
Ding Yirou held the knife and fork with a slightly trembling hand;
You also have to pretend to be nonchalant and put the food slowly into your mouth.
"Keep fighting."
"But, I remember that at the half-year meeting this year, you promised him to compete again through the seaport project?"
Ding Yirou was unwilling to give in and stared at Huo Rongxin's increasingly gloomy face.
"so what?"
Huo Rongxin looked at him with disdain.
"Are you going to go back on your word?"
Ding Yirou finally lost her color;
How could this man go back on his word?
"Even if I agree to it, it depends on whether he has the ability to do it."
Huo Rongxin saw Ding Yirou's worried expression;
I thought she still liked Huo Rongtian;
His face was darker than ink.
Ding Yirou pondered secretly and lowered her head to eat the food;
Carefully and independently doing the things in your hands;
I dare not look him in the eyes.
"Besides, it was you who signed the plan. I'm here to celebrate your winning the plan. Why do you keep mentioning him?"
Ye Yirou chewed the food in her mouth repeatedly and didn't dare to respond easily.
After a while, he swallowed.
"Without Rongtian's support, there would be no me. Moreover, everyone in the team has contributed a lot. The credit cannot be just mine."
"You really understand the ways of the workplace. You know not to take credit for others' work. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that it was you who did it. I understand the principle that a tall tree attracts the wind."
Huo Rongxin took a sip of champagne calmly.
Ding Yirou looked at her with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
Indeed, as one of the few female leaders in Hengdong Shangcheng;
Ding Yirou could no longer avoid the interference of rumors and gossip.
Although, some people secretly said that she had slept with two Huo Shaos;
I have only managed to get this position as the general office secretary;
But fortunately, not many people want to mess with her.
But being around two tigers always brings hidden dangers;
Now it seems that she is in a difficult situation.
Huo Rongxin will not let Huo Rongtin off easily.
"After dinner, I'll take you to see the new port that's being developed."
"Is it too late?"
Ding Yirou subconsciously looked at her phone and it was already past 8 o'clock.
"What, are you in trouble?"
"What can I do? I'm going to pack my bags and go back to Upper City. I heard that Rong Tian was in a coma for several days and just woke up recently, and Su Yan hasn't been found yet. I want to go back and take a look."
"There's no rush. You can go back the day after tomorrow. I asked my secretary to book a ticket for you."
"how about you?"
Ding Yirou asked casually.
"I'll stay in Hong Kong to deal with some follow-up matters."
After dinner, the two walked side by side in the bustling commercial street of the port city.
Night falls.
The lights on the roadside flickered slightly, like a heartbeat.
It’s just that the two people’s heartbeats, one is panic, the other is excitement.
There was a lot of traffic on the roadside and pedestrians were walking hurriedly.
The two of them took their time, wanting to take a walk.
There was a band playing in the commercial street, the elegant melodies attracted people's attention;
The streets are bustling with lights and people;
Huo Rongxin swung his forearms slightly.
The air in the port city is slightly humid in October.
Ding Yirou felt faintly that there was wind on her fingers, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly;
Inadvertently touching, subconsciously feels like an electric shock;
Ding Yirou pretended to be relaxed and shook her forearms slightly, looking a little deliberate.
"Mr. Huo is in a good mood today."
Ding Yirou broke the long-lasting silence between the two. No one spoke anymore, only ambiguity remained.
"You got a big order today, I'm happy for you."
Ding Yirou knew what this sentence meant and her face turned slightly red.
My heartbeat quickened and my body couldn't help but tremble.
This man had previously said that if he couldn’t have her, he would destroy her;
Now, he reveals his deep affection without restraint;
The feeling of contradiction was so extreme that even Ding Yirou couldn't stop her heart from beating wildly.
It’s like playing a haunted house;
Fearful and addictive.
Fortunately, it was dark and the lights were dim.
All ambiguities, tested in the darkness.
Can't tell whether it's true or false.
The two people, each wearing a mask, will not easily take off their disguises.
This is a close contest;
It is also a gamble without gunpowder.
Huo Rongxin thought he had seen countless women, but now he failed on a woman with a simple personality.
Mixed feelings.
He who had never confessed his feelings, the one who made the bet in the elevator;
That was the greatest love statement he had ever made.
Add today's sentence.
This is my second confession.
"Thank you, Mr. Huo."
Ding Yirou pursed her lips.
"Do you expect me to have a weakness?"
Huo Rongxin probed gently.
"A wise man never falls in love."
Ding Yirou stared straight into the distance, calmly, without a trace of emotion.
A wise man does not fall in love.
Just like what his mother said.
"I never think that having someone you like is a bad thing. A wise man also has his moments of seriousness. When he meets someone he likes, he wants to devote himself to the relationship."
Huo Rongxin also stared into the distance.
"Your family is too complicated. Emotions are a luxury."
"I didn't expect that you were not involved, but you saw it more clearly than anyone else."
"I can only say that it's a good thing that no rich young master likes me, otherwise, I would have run away. Just like Suyan. Suyan has not been found yet, and her life or death is unknown."
Ding Yirou suddenly felt sad.
A crack flashed across Huo Rongxin's eyes, and dense clouds suddenly surged.
A thunderstorm suddenly broke out in the port city at night.
The two of them jumped and hid at the door of the convenience store.
Huo Rongxin took off his suit and raised his arms above her head.
Ding Yirou saw his face vaguely visible under his suit, and his tall nose was handsome and striking.
"Don't worry, with Huo Rongtian's ability, he will definitely find her."
Huo Rongxin wiped the heavy rain off his face with one hand. It was a simple action, but he did it charmingly.
Ding Yirou was dazed. This feeling made her heart ache.
Whether it is Huo Rongxin or Huo Rongtian;
They are all men she can't touch.
No fantasy is allowed.
Their backgrounds are so complicated.
Is it because Xin Suyan became a canary and her life or death is unknown, or is there another hidden story?
Is it God's will or human will?
This complex fate and the fact that it is unpredictable are obvious.
History repeats itself in this bustling city.
In ancient times, there were Lu You and Tang Wan, and now there are Huo Rongtin and Xin Suyan.
There was sadness in Ding Yirou's eyes, and the feeling of grief for the loss of a rabbit surged in her heart.
After a while, it floated away through the clouds and rain.
"The rain has stopped. Ahead is the harbor that will soon be developed. Shall we go?"
Huo Rongxin knew her hidden worries but did not expose them.
"it is good."
Ding Yirou put away her sentimentality and relaxed her brows.
The two continued to stagger and move forward slowly.
