"I wonder what brings Mr. Huo here?"
Although Mr. He maintained his composure on the surface, his heart was in turmoil.
Although the Huo Group had always been in a cooperative relationship with their company before, he had never had the chance to meet Mr. Huo. This time, when the cooperation ended, Mr. Huo showed up directly, which really scared him.
"Nothing. Just passing by and dropping in," Huo Cheng said, casting a sidelong glance at the man in front of him.
"Mr. He has good taste. Is this the famous tea from K City?"
After saying that, Mr. He, who had been nervously sipping tea to calm his nerves, suddenly felt like the teacup in his hand was a hot potato.
He forced a smile on his lips and said, "Mr. Huo, please just say what you want to say directly!"
"I'm here about the bidding."
Since that was the case, Huo Cheng decided to get straight to the point.
Mr. He really regretted it. As soon as he heard that Mr. Huo was coming, he knew that things had gotten out of hand. And it was all because of the person in charge of that project. He told Mr. He what he had said, sweating nervously.
"It's over. You must be crazy!" This was Mr. He's first reaction after hearing those words.
Even though they were no longer in a cooperative relationship, they didn't have the guts to offend the Huo Group!
But this stupid guy in front of him just did it. He scolded the person severely and made countless mental preparations before welcoming Mr. Huo in.
But even now, he still felt a bit guilty.
"Mr. Huo, our company thought that it would be overkill for the Huo Group to handle this project. This small project doesn't deserve the Huo Group's efforts. It was our honor that the Huo Group had taken a fancy to our company before," he said calmly, shifting all the blame to his own company.
But it didn't sound that way to Huo Cheng's ears.
"Mr. He, do you mean that we were never suitable before? Or that you were dissatisfied?"
Huo Cheng's cold eyes swept over Mr. He, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"No, how could that be?" Mr. He's lips turned pale. Why did things develop like this? It was completely beyond his expectations.
Huo Cheng narrowed his eyes. "Isn't it true that your company said you wouldn't cooperate because of interests?"
"Yes," Mr. He really wanted to deny it at this moment, but the more he said, the more mistakes he might make.
This was the best answer for now.
He simply gritted his teeth and said, "The price offered by our new winning bidder is extremely satisfactory to us. Mr. Huo, please don't make things difficult for us!"
He really didn't have the guts, but how to reply without offending him was a huge problem.
There was no solution, so he just gritted his teeth and faced it.
He closed his eyes, waiting for the future of his company and himself. For a long time, nothing happened.
When he opened his eyes, he found that Mr. Huo's eyes were not on him. He was staring into the distance, lost in thought.
Oh no, was he thinking about how to deal with their company now?
Mr. He really wished he could take a regret pill. The company he had founded with all his energy was not going to end in his hands, was it?
He didn't even need his children to squander the family fortune. He shook his head bitterly, already imagining himself wandering on the streets in the future.
"I see. We just came to ask about it," Huo Cheng said calmly, as if nothing mattered to him.
He stood up, and his tall figure cast a shadow over Mr. He. Mr. He stared blankly at him.
"Let's go," Huo Cheng nodded to Chen Fang behind him. Then he noticed that someone was still looking at him. "Do you have anything else to say?"
Mr. He wished he could get rid of them quickly. How could he have anything else to say?
"No, no, nothing," he replied hurriedly.
Huo Cheng raised his eyebrows. "If that's the case, we'll leave first. We'll come to visit you another day."
Mr. He quickly sent them out, but was startled by Huo Cheng's words about visiting another day.
God, please spare him!
Huo Cheng closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Chen Fang fastened his seat belt and asked Huo Cheng, "Mr. Huo, shall we go back to the company now?"
Suddenly, Huo Cheng opened his eyes. His eyes were fixed on the front, cold and intimidating.
"Go to the Huang Group," he said calmly.
These words hit Chen Fang's eardrums, making him stunned for a moment.
The Huang Group had no cooperative relationship with the Huo Group, but it had recently cooperated with the company that had snatched their bid.
It was just like this time.
It seemed that Mr. Huo had something to do. Chen Fang didn't ask any more questions and directly turned the car around and headed towards the Huang Group.
After they left the Huang Group.
"Next, go to the Ou Group," Mr. Huo rubbed the bridge of his nose, leaned back on the seat, and said calmly.
Chen Fang didn't ask any questions and drove directly there.
Not long after, the two of them left.
Chen Fang asked the silent Huo Cheng beside him, "Mr. Huo, shall we continue?"
Huo Cheng lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then shook his head and said to Chen Fang, "You should investigate the actions of those company presidents before they cooperated with that company. This matter is not simple."
He said firmly, "I originally thought it was related to the person in charge of the project, but now it seems that they are very protective and all insist on the word 'interest'."
"Mr. Huo, why can't it be about interests?" Chen Fang didn't understand. Was there something else hidden behind this?
Huo Cheng narrowed his eyes. "Would you give up a long - term cooperative company for a small company, even if the benefits it offers are great?"
Chen Fang was stunned for a moment. It turned out that Mr. Huo had selected several companies that had long - term cooperative relationships with other companies from the information of that company and then went to ask them.
"No," he said.
Chen Fang suddenly felt a sinking feeling in his heart, realizing the seriousness of this matter.
"Go back to the company!"
"Yes!" He replied resolutely.
Then he stepped on the accelerator.
An entire department worked round - the - clock for several days and finally investigated the activity schedules of those presidents during that period.
Chen Fang brought the investigation results to Huo Cheng.
Huo Cheng narrowed his eyes and opened the file. All of their actions were different, but they all went to the same hotel - Wanda Hotel.
Moreover, without exception, they all went there a few days before the project bidding.
It might be a coincidence if only two people went there, but with so many people, it was definitely not!
"Go down," Huo Cheng said softly, throwing the file aside.
Chen Fang heaved a sigh of relief and left.
Huo Cheng was busy with his work and didn't look at the file again. It wasn't until noon that Huo Cheng drove directly to Wanda Hotel.
"Why did you invite me here?" Jiang Lihao was led into the private room by the waiter. As soon as he saw Huo Cheng, he asked.
Who would just say a time and a place on the phone and then hang up without saying anything else?
If it weren't for the fact that they had known each other for a long time and Huo Cheng didn't seem like a crazy person, he really wouldn't have come.
Jiang Lihao sat down and saw the menu in front of him. He picked it up, opened it, and raised his eyebrows when he saw the dishes. "Is this your compensation for not seeing me for so long?"
Even he thought his words were strange and couldn't help laughing.
"Sort of," Huo Cheng suddenly said.
The smile on Jiang Lihao's face froze. He couldn't laugh anymore.
