as soon as huo jiabao left, huo xiwen immediately took out his phone and called chen yanzhuo to report the situation.

the phone rang several times, but no one answered.

she felt uneasy in her heart, so she took her bag out the door and went straight to the pearl group.

after entering the ming zhu group building, he took the elevator up. just as he stepped out of the elevator, the secretary came over and greeted him, "miss huo, you're here."

"is a.s.sistant chen here?" huo xiwen asked.

"he's in the ceo's office accompanying the ceo to meet with his guests." replied the secretary.

just as she finished speaking, the office door opened and chen yanzhuo and zhao wei walked out from the office. the person walking in the middle of them, the guest, was none other than fu mujun.

when huo xi wen saw fu mujun, he was stunned. he stood there in a daze, unable to react for a while.

"xi wen, why are you here?" fu mujun was surprised to see her, but it was within his expectations. he was not that surprised.

huo xiwen was still immersed in the astonishment of meeting him, and was unable to come back to his senses. his reaction couldn't help but slow down a bit.

as expected, chen yanzhuo reacted quickly. he immediately stepped forward, smiled at huo xiwen and said, "miss huo, i'm ready. we can sign the contract any time."

only then did huo xiwen react, and immediately nodded, "oh, i'm here to sign the contract."

then, she asked fu mujun, "why are you here?"

"i'm here to discuss business with boss zhao." fu mujun smiled.

"then... "how is the conversation going?" huo xiwen asked.

"it seems like director zhao feels that our company's scale is a little too small." fu mujun said with a smile that was not a smile.

"director fu, you don't need to say that. i definitely do not have that intention. it's just that this is not a small business that director fu is talking about. i can't make up my mind right now, so i need to gather some research." zhao wei quickly said.

"alright, since that's the case, then i'll wait for boss zhao's good news." fu mujun smiled, then looked at huo xiwen: "alright, xiwen, didn't you come to sign the contract with director zhao? quickly go in, i'll pick you up at the company tonight."

"oh, okay." huo xiwen nodded in agreement.

at this time, fu mujun walked to her side and raised his hand, reaching it to her shoulder. under the gaze of the crowd, huo xiwen subconsciously wanted to dodge, but in the next second, he retrieved a strand of hair from her shoulder and lightly patted her shoulder, "see you later."

"see you tonight." huo xiwen froze on the spot, and could only reply in a daze.

after watching fu mujun leave, huo xiwen followed chen yanzhuo into the office. only then did his originally tense mood finally relax.

she sat down on the sofa and said in a sad voice, "what the h.e.l.l is going on? why is he here? "it scared me to death."

"why are you here? did something happen? " chen yanzhuo picked up his phone and glanced at it. there was her missed call, so he asked.

"mm, it's my brother, he …" sigh … what a mess. my brother now suspects fu mujun's ident.i.ty and has sent people to investigate him … he has already determined that fu mujun's ident.i.ty is not simple and is opposed to me dating him. "

"huo jiujun even got someone to investigate fu mujun?" chen yanzhuo didn't expect this guy to act so quickly. it seemed that he had underestimated him.

"doesn't my brother like doing this sort of thing? as long as it's a man i date, i will first investigate everything. " huo xiwen felt helpless. even if he had the brother of the berserk demon, she still wouldn't be able to do anything.

"did your brother find anything?" chen yanzhuo asked.

"no, that person hid himself so well that even you and brother chen hao couldn't find his true ident.i.ty. how could my brother's people find out?" huo xiwen shook his head.

"it's good that you didn't find it." at this time, chen yanzhuo let out a sigh of relief, "you don't have to worry too much. at this point, it might not be a bad thing." didn't fu mujun make an appointment with you tonight? you can just tell him that your brother disagrees with the two of you being together, and also tell him that your brother got someone to investigate him. "

"ah?" why? wouldn't that make my brother dangerous? " huo xiwen asked nervously.

chen shook his head. "on the contrary, with your brother's personality, he would be suspicious if he didn't do these things. since your brother sent someone to investigate fu mujun, it's impossible for him to not find out about it. since he already knows about it, if you keep it from him, doesn't that mean that you suspect him as well? "

"but if he knew my brother was against me being with him, would he do anything to hurt my brother?" huo xiwen was still worried.

"if you can take the initiative to tell him about this, then it means that you have complete trust in him. what fu mujun wants is only your trust. other people aren't important to him. moreover, huo jiujun, as your elder brother, has every reason to oppose him. fu mujun wouldn't be so stupid as to attack your brother at this time. " chen yanzhuo patiently a.n.a.lyzed.

when huo xiwen heard his words, she was finally at ease, "you're right. this way, i can use my brother as a shield to push him away."

"right now, what you should be worried about is not that your brother is in danger, i was afraid that he would find someone to deal with fu mujun in order to protect you. if that's really the case, then you are asking for trouble." chen yanzhuo felt a headache coming on.

"if you say it like that, then it's very possible. my brother is someone who can completely do such a thing." at this time, huo xiwen started to worry again, "then what do we do? how can i stop him? "

"let me think of a way. you don't have to worry about that for now." "take it easy." chen yanzhuo comforted her as he reached out to pat her shoulder.

the action of his warm palm touching her shoulder was so natural, huo xiwen's body didn't even have the slightest reaction of rejection, as if this was the correct way for the two of them to get along.

"alright, i understand. it seems that i'm still too nervous." huo xiwen let out a long sigh of relief. then, he turned to chen yanzhuo, a little embarra.s.sed. "i'm sorry, but i've come to trouble you every time because of my personal matters."

"we are friends, there is no need for you to be courteous to me. moreover, ceo su also asked me to help you before, so it's only natural for me to do all these things. " at this time, a faint smile appeared on chen yanzhuo's face, looking especially beautiful.

huo xiwen seemed to see the former fu muyun on his smiling face. at that time, he also liked to smile at her in this way.

but soon, she realized that she had been wrong. she immediately shook her head to calm herself down and stop being dazzled.

"oh, by the way, you still haven't told me what kind of business it was that fu mujun came to find you." at this time, huo xiwen recalled the question that he had asked. chen yanzhuo had yet to answer.
