Chapter 39: I Have Nothing to Offer
om the Shen family, one of the three largest conglomerates, and is a master at managing her husband. Shen Zhaolin practically obeys her every word, placing her at the pinnacle of the upper-class soci...After one night, the rain finally stopped and the sun came out.
After the rainstorm, City B's air was especially fresh, and even the sky was washed a brilliant blue.
Su He got up early and changed into her sportswear. She went for a five kilometer jog on the track in the hotel's garden she had brought with her.
Morning or evening runs are habits that Huo Yirou has instilled in her.
At first, she wasn't used to it and was out of breath after a few steps. She didn't expect that now she could run down in one breath, and her pace was pretty good.
Forming a habit isn't that difficult.
It’s like letting go of the love and hate for Huo Shen Xi.
After she took the initiative to propose a peaceful coexistence last night, Huo Shenxi didn't make things difficult for her anymore.
After a long period of silence, he said "As you wish" and turned to leave.
After that, Xu Tian sent her and her luggage to the hotel. He waited until she had finished the check-in procedure before leaving.
Perhaps finally clearing the haze in her heart, Su He had a good night's sleep without any nightmares.
After showering, Su He had breakfast at the hotel restaurant and then took a taxi to Yi He Group's branch in City B.
When she arrived, the branch manager Yu Meng was already waiting for her at the door.
A man in his late forties, rarely without the signature Mediterranean hairstyle and beer belly, looked like a shrewd businessman.
Shen Zhaolin personally made the call. Although he didn't explicitly state Su He's identity, the phrase "fully cooperate" was enough to make everything clear.
Miss Su, the data you requested is ready. Yu Meng's attitude was respectful, but not servile.
Su He said thank you and followed Yu Meng into the branch company meeting room.
She spent the whole day in the conference room, even having lunch there.
Unknowing people speculated that she was sent down by the headquarters for an audit, after all, there had been rumors circulating for a while that Yu Meng would be transferred to the headquarters.
After Su He left, people from the branch office and those close to Yu Meng came over to congratulate him. Yu Meng just smiled without saying a word and offered no explanation.
He didn't even know how the news of his transfer to headquarters got around, but sometimes it was easier to play dumb and he wasn't bothered explaining.
This time when Su He came over, he knew it wasn't for an audit, but some people were going to get hurt!
Su He found the data she wanted, though she already had her own ideas, after all, she didn't have much work experience, so she still called Shen Rufeng.
Without directly stating the situation, Shen Ruifeng, as intelligent as he was, immediately understood the problem Su He had discovered.
The sales department of the group, in collusion with executives from the subsidiaries, tampered with the data behind closed doors, engaging in silent embezzlement while shifting the risk onto the group to bear.
"When the water is too clear, there are no fish. But if the water is too murky, it's easy for foreign species to invade." Shen Rufeng put down the transaction worth over 100 million in his hand and patiently listened to Su He speak, smiling, "Muddy the waters even more, let those big fish and foreign species jump out themselves, this method is not bad."
Having received affirmation from Shen Rucheng, Su He felt as though she had eaten a reassurance pill.
"Thank you, big brother. I'll treat you to a meal when you get back." Su He said happily.
Shen Ruifeng was not polite: "I want you to do it yourself."
Before that, she cooked a meal that made her three brothers fight over it. In the end, they even licked the plates clean.
However, Gu Qingcheng felt sorry for her and didn't allow her to do housework or enter the kitchen. The three brothers then gave up trying to trick her into cooking.
"Good!" Su He readily agreed, hearing Shen Ruifeng eagerly wanting to return to City A.
This time when he came to headquarters, he had already applied to be transferred back to the Asia-Pacific region.
Once upon a time, he was determined to accumulate more capital, hoping to find his sister and protect her after.
Now that his younger sister is back, he naturally wants to protect her with all his might.
However, Su He was smarter than he thought. He had actually discovered some problems within the group that were causing trouble, but Shen Zhaolin, out of respect for those old-timers, was unwilling to intervene and dealt with them by turning a blind eye.
To everyone's surprise, Su He discovered these issues shortly after starting work at the Group and as merely a secretary to the president. Her insight and talent were truly worthy of being a member of the Shen family.
Su He found the data she wanted at the branch office and didn't leave in a hurry.
She got in touch with several long-term cooperative supplier managers through Shen Xingfan's connections and met with them separately.
Through their conversation over noodles, Su He obtained more concrete evidence.
As Su He was about to call a car after chatting with the last person in charge, she unexpectedly saw Huo Chenxi and a man who looked somewhat familiar walking out of the hotel.
That man was slightly thin, but he had a face modeled after an anime character. His high nose bridge and good lip shape were attractive. Even with a pair of black-rimmed glasses on, his exquisite eyebrows and eyes couldn't be hidden.
Su He had a feeling of déjà vu, as if she had seen this man somewhere before.
On the other hand, Huo Chenxi, the man by his side, had returned to the indifferent and distant manner he was before the divorce. His gaze was firm, and his whole body exuded the aura of a decisive leader.
As the two passed Su He, Huo Chen Xi didn't give her a second glance. However, the man beside him suddenly turned his head and looked at Su He.
That gaze was somewhat complex, carrying an indescribable emotion of suppressed restraint. In the end, he turned his head and bent down to get into the car, without uttering a single word to Su He.
He Chenxi personally sent the man away, and Xu Tian had already driven the car over.
After Huo Chenxi got into the car, Xu Tian passed by Su He and politely asked, “Miss Su, would you like a ride”
Ho Chenxi frowned and glanced at Xu Tian, seemingly displeased with his interference. However, he ultimately didn't say anything, turning his head to look out the other side of the car window.
Looking at Huo Chen Xi's icy and sharp jawline, Su He pursed her lips and said, "Thank you," before getting into the car with a thick face.
She didn't necessarily have to hitch a ride on this trip, but she suddenly remembered the identity of the man Huo Chenxi had just sent off.
That was Ryan, the youngest-ever dean of the technology college at a top-ranked university that had just won an international tech award and ranked in the top 3. He was one of the few friends Su He knew who could be considered a worthy competitor.
Su He keenly sensed that Huo Chen Xi came to see Ryan, probably about the project related to cooperation between the two groups.
Yihua Group obtained the authorization for S-chip technology and S-core patent, thus gaining a certain say in cooperative projects.
Given Ho Shenxi's temperament, he wouldn't be willing to be held back like this, so he came over to find Ryan himself.
Before pointing out that her proposal data was problematic, I'm afraid she may have deliberately delayed the time.
Su He thought about it for a long time before finally directly asking: "Mr. Huo is going to cooperate with Ryan"
Having been dozing in the car, Huo Chenxi languidly opened his eyelids and glanced at her casually: "Business secrets, can't tell you!"reputation, causing him to lose face. Before he could get revenge on Huo Shen Xi, Huo Shen Xi came over to provoke him again."Do you really think he's a vegetarian"Huo Chenxi smirked: "You brought thi...
