Chapter 610: A Temporary Refuge from the Rain to Meet
Fourth Brother
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Recently, the Huo Corporation has changed drastically. After Huo Yichen replaced Huo Hong, many of the company’s rules and layouts had been changed.
There were usually more things to do when a new official took office, not to mention that Huo Yichen still had to get rid of Huo Hong’s previous power and gradually exclude those old people from his company.
However, some troublesome people could not be crippled in a short time. Huo Yichen still needed to think about it at length. After all, he didn’t want to hurt the company.
However, Huo Yichen didn’t expect Huo Hong to be able to contact his associates even after he had a stroke.
After Xu Dong received Huo Hong’s call, his mood instantly improved.
During this period of time, under Huo Yichen’s oppression, the seniors in the company had no choice but to retract their hands. Now that Huo Hong had contacted him, if they could pull Huo Yichen down again, many people would be glad to see it.
Huo Hong and Xu Dong’s thoughts couldn’t have been more aligned.
When he thought about how he had spent most of his life working hard to build the Huo Corporation, it was impossible for him to give up now that it had fallen into Huo Yichen’s hands.
“Can you come back to the company now?” Xu Dong asked immediately.
Putting everything else aside, if Huo Hong could return to the company, almost an entire group of people would follow him. Moreover, Huo Yichen had just taken over the company and didn’t have a deep foundation.
Huo Hong wanted to, but unfortunately, he couldn’t leave the Huo residence at all.
Not to mention the Huo residence, even the room and bed he was in couldn’t be escaped from even if he used all his strength.
Moreover, the butler and so many servants were watching outside…
“No.” Huo Hong sighed.
He was powerless now, but he couldn’t let Xu Dong know about this.
Xu Dong was also a sly old fox. If he knew that he was in such a disadvantageous position, he would definitely not help him wholeheartedly.
Huo Hong took a deep breath. “Go…”
His words were intermittent, but he wanted Xu Dong to help him with the Huo Corporation.
Although Xu Dong had some doubts about Huo Hong’s refusal to show up, he was distracted by Huo Hong’s instructions and didn’t think too much about it for the time being.
After the call ended, Xu Dong looked at the black screen of his cell phone thoughtfully.
At this moment, Zheng Qiguang pushed open the door and walked in. “Are you free?”
“What’s wrong?” Xu Dong raised his head and looked at him, a fox-like smile on his face.
After Huo Yichen took control of the company, Zheng Qiguang was also one of the people who had been suppressed. He had been living a difficult life recently. Today, he finally couldn’t take it anymore and came to look for Xu Dong.
“Didn’t you hear what that brat Huo Yichen said in the meeting today?” Zheng Qiguang pulled out a chair and sat in front of Xu Dong.
Xu Dong raised his eyebrows and looked up at him. “I know. Everything he says is just to squeeze us old people out.”
“Xu Dong, I know you.” Zheng Qiguang seemed to have made a decision.
Before Zheng Qiguang could say anything else, Xu Dong interrupted him.
“He’s the current President of the Huo Corporation.”
Zheng Qiguang sneered. “President? Does he really think that he’s won just because he’s in that position?”
Over the past few days, Zheng Qiguang had finally figured out that as long as Huo Yichen was around, he wouldn’t have a good life.
“As long as we work together to pull him down…”
Zheng Qiguang gave Xu Dong a look. The meaning behind it was self-evident.
Xu Dong was still thinking about what Huo Hong had said to him just now. He didn’t expect Zheng Qiguang to come at this time. This way, he could still get a scapegoat.
Both of them had the same goal, so after Zheng Qiguang finished speaking, Xu Dong pretended to hesitate for a moment before agreeing with Zheng Qiguang.
The conspiracy brewing in the dark was gradually taking shape, but it had yet to appear in the light.
The dark clouds that had been brewing all night finally poured down at noon the next day, almost drowning the entire city in the crackling rain.
This also forced Shen Xi and Murong Qiao’s plan to go out to play to be interrupted.
After the first time they met, Shen Xi and Murong Qiao gradually became familiar with each other and treated each other as friends.
In addition, Su Rong knew that Murong Qiao was the person who saved her daughter, so when Shen Xi said that she wanted to come out and play with Murong Qiao, Su Rong had no intention of stopping her.
At the thought that she was going out to play with Murong Qiao alone, Shen Xi was so excited that she had worked on the “strategy guide” for the entire night yesterday. She wanted to have a good time outside.
But-
Standing at the entrance of the restaurant, Shen Xi looked at the storm in front of her and couldn’t help but sigh.
“Excuse me! Excuse me! Give us a place to shelter from the rain!” someone shouted from outside.
Then, she saw two boys hurriedly cross the puddles on the road and run over to hide under the eaves.
Seeing that the two people’s wet clothes were about to touch Shen Xi, Murong Qiao quickly pulled Shen Xi to her side and hailed a taxi to leave.
“There are too many people here. Let’s go somewhere else to avoid the rain.” Murong Qiao made a decision at the last minute.
It was fine for her to stand here, but this storm came too suddenly. More and more people would come to the restaurant to shelter from the rain. When there were more people, with Shen Xi’s asthma, Murong Qiao was afraid that something would happen.
Shen Xi nodded obediently and followed behind Murong Qiao, quickly getting into the taxi.
“Where are you two going?” the taxi driver asked.
Murong Qiao gave an address. Then, she took out some tissues and wiped the places that were wet by the rain for herself and Shen Xi, trying her best not to let Shen Xi catch a cold.
The address she gave the driver was Fourth Brother Yan Xiu’s design studio, which was also the closest place to the two of them. The storm seemed to be getting heavier, so Murong Qiao gave up on the idea of returning to the company directly.
This kind of weather was most suitable for taxi drivers, so the driver was very efficient in bringing the two of them to their destination. In less than five minutes, they stopped at the entrance of Yan Xiu’s design studio.
“This is my Fourth Brother’s design studio. You don’t have to be nervous when you go in later. We’re just here to avoid the rain.” Murong Qiao said to Shen Xi and scanned the taxi’s QR code to pay the fare. Then, she pulled Shen Xi in.
… Murong Qiao’s brother?
Shen Xi was stunned. She couldn’t help but imagine Murong Chen’s appearance in her mind.
Last time, when she was at the charity auction in the Shen family, before she met Murong Qiao, Shen Xi had also seen her following Murong Chen.
She didn’t have much of an impression of Murong Chen, but she automatically applied the calm and unsmiling feeling in her heart into this Fourth Brother, whom she had never met before. She couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
The staff in the design studio also knew Murong Qiao, so after seeing her arrive, they went straight to get towels and other items and let the two of them wipe the rain off their bodies.
“I haven’t seen Young Miss Murong here in a long time.” The girl at the front desk had a warm and bright personality.
As she handed Murong Qiao a towel, she couldn’t help but steal a few glances at Shen Xi beside her with curiosity.
Murong Qiao wiped his wet hair. “We’re just hiding from the storm temporarily. Sorry to disturb you.”
“Not at all, not at all. If the boss knows that you’re here, he might be happy too.” The little girl waved her hand..
