Chapter 841: Grasshopper on the Same Rope

Editor: Henyee Translations

With Murong Zheng’s words, even Jiang Weiyang, who didn’t participate much in the company’s management project, could naturally hear him clearly.

It was also at this moment that she understood why her Big Brother insisted on dragging her over to apologize to Murong Qiao.

“…” Jiang Weiyang took a deep breath and apologized softly.

“I’m sorry. It was my lack of supervision of the project that caused Young Miss Murong to be injured.”

When she said this, Jiang Weiyang felt as if a knife had cut her face, but she still had to swallow her anger and say a few good words.

Jiang Weiyang was indeed a willful and unreasonable person, but after her Big Brother brought her here today and she heard Murong Zheng’s words, she understood that she could only apologize.

In the entire ward, only Jiang Weiyang’s voice and the other party’s compromising and ugly expression could be observed.

Murong Zheng didn’t say anything. He only helped his Little Sister peel the oranges and prepared to let her eat them after dinner.

Murong Qiao, on the other hand, listened to Jiang Weiyang as if she was enjoying a musical. However, when her gaze landed on Jiang Weiyang, she felt a little uncomfortable. She even felt that Murong Qiao was clearly demonstrating to her.

“Big Brother, I want to sleep.” After hearing Jiang Wei’s apology, Murong Qiao suddenly said.

Seeing this, Murong Zheng didn’t say anything. He only covered the other party with the blanket and didn’t care that it was still noon.

After all, she was still a patient. When Jiang Wenxu saw this, he pulled his Little Sister out of the ward. Fortunately, Murong Zheng didn’t make things difficult for them this time.

“I hope Young Miss Jiang’s sincerity is the same as her apology. Don’t disturb my sister in the future.”

Murong Zheng ended with a cold tone.

Jiang Weiyang’s face was gloomy. From the beginning to the end, she didn’t say anything. Even when she saw the clear and cloudless weather outside the window, her mood couldn’t improve at all.

Everyone exchanged a few words outside the ward before falling silent. Murong Qiao, who originally said that she wanted to sleep, sat on the bed without any sleepiness. Then, she took out her phone and sent a message to Huo Yichen.

[Are you coming to pick me up after the meeting today? I don’t want to stay in the hospital anymore. [Kitty Sobbing]

Usually, when Huo Yichen came to take care of Murong Qiao, he would explain his schedule for the next day. Therefore, Murong Qiao remembered that the other party was in a meeting at this time.

However, he didn’t elaborate on the details of the meeting. Seeing that Huo Yichen didn’t reply immediately, it was obvious that it was an important meeting.

“This is the 23rd version of the plan that we’re currently preparing. If anyone has any objections, you can raise them. I’ll answer them.”

Seeing the project manager finish his speech and demonstration, everyone in the conference room looked at each other and raised many questions.

Huo Yichen sat in the middle and stared at everyone’s reactions for a long time. Naturally, this included the board of directors, Xu Dong.

“Director Xu, what do you think about the preparations for construction in the Western District?” Huo Yichen’s sudden words silenced the entire conference room.

Xu Dong was originally sitting in his seat and smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

At Huo Yichen’s sudden mention, he calmly shared a few points of view and dismissed the topic.

He was an old fox in the company. Even if Huo Yichen suddenly singled him out, no one would say anything. Instead, after Xu Dong finished speaking, everyone applauded.

Hearing the other party’s indifferent suggestion, Huo Yichen didn’t say anything. However, he cared about the fact that he seemed to be in a good mood today.

It seemed that something good had happened that he didn’t know about.

Thinking of Huo Xiuyuan, who had been silent all this while, Huo Yichen had some guesses. However, Ye Zhen was not by his side now, so Huo Yichen simply suppressed the scattered thoughts in his heart for the time being.

He had always asked Ye Zhen to closely verify some things, so he wasn’t by his side at this moment. He naturally had more important things to do.

He had been sent by Huo Yichen to keep an eye on Huo Xiuyuan so that it would be easier for him to do anything at all times. However, over the past few days, the other party had been acting like a normal person. He went to the company every day and returned home, as if he had nothing else to do.

Just as Ye Zhen thought that he would return empty-handed in the next few days and would be too embarrassed to face the President without the results of the investigation, Huo Xiuyuan suddenly went out today, and the route was different from usual.

Ye Zhen immediately perked up and followed. Then, he saw the other party arrive at a hotel. He walked to the front desk and said something before disappearing at the end of the corridor.

In order not to alert the enemy, Ye Zhen only watched from afar at the entrance of the hotel and recorded the situation. In the end, in less than ten minutes, another acquaintance appeared in his vision.

A man in a suit alighted from a taxi and appeared in front of the hotel. From Ye Zhen’s position, he could see the other party’s face clearly and recognize him as the assistant of Xu Dong.

It wasn’t surprising that these two people had colluded. He only looked at the time and realized that it happened to coincide with the President’s meeting arrangements. Ye Zhen also knew why the assistant had appeared here.

Seeing the other party pretend to be calm and follow Huo Xiuyuan to the front desk, Ye Zhen slowly got out of the car.

“Hello, I want to ask which room the person who entered just now went to. I’m colleagues from the same company as him.”

Investigating Huo Xiuyuan might alert the enemy, but Xu Dong’s assistant had a working relationship with him. It was not a big deal to ask.

Ye Zhen stood at the front desk and spoke freely. He even showed his business card to the staff.

When the other party saw that he was from the Huo Corporation and was the President’s assistant, he gave him the information of the private room after the process.

“Thank you.”

After Ye Zhen thanked her, he went in.

At the same time, Huo Xiuyuan also waited for the person he wanted to meet.

“How’s the matter of me asking Xu Dong for help?” Seeing Xu Dong’s assistant appear in front of him, Huo Xiuyuan was instantly impatient.

He had barely done anything in the past few days. On the one hand, it was because he didn’t have enough information and had already been tricked by Huo Yichen once. Now, he was wary.

On the other hand, Kelly’s father was constantly giving him pressure. Huo Xiuyuan knew that if he couldn’t accomplish anything, he would probably lose the other party’s help before long.

The assistant nodded hesitantly. “Mr. Xu said that it’s still in progress. Please wait a few days.”

“How can it take a few days?” Huo Xiuyuan heard that it still needed so much time and was immediately a little unhappy.

However, when he thought about how he still needed Xu Dong’s help now, he still smiled after a few changes in his attitude.

“Then, did you bring the information I asked for?”

This time, the assistant gave a very affirmative answer. He didn’t even say anything and took out a folder from his briefcase and handed it to Huo Xiuyuan.

“This is it.”

With that, the assistant retracted his hand. “Mr. Xu asked me to tell you that we’re in the same boat now.”

Huo Xiuyuan’s hand that was holding the document paused for a moment before he nodded as if nothing had happened. “I know.”

It was not only his loss. Xu Dong had also suffered a lot. He must be thinking that if Huo Xiuyuan did something, he would be implicated too.
