Chapter 620: Announcement of Engagement
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Murong Qiao could guess that Huo Yichen must be busy with something, but she frowned when she heard what the people from the Huo Corporation’s board of directors said.
Without Ye Zhen saying anything, she immediately understood.
“…I understand,” Murong Qiao said in the end. Then, she ended the call and went to look for Jiang Chi.
Her footsteps were hurried, and this was the first time she had taken the initiative to look for him. “I want to hold a press conference.”
“Now?” he looked up and asked.
Although he didn’t understand why the boss suddenly had such thoughts, from her expression, something must have happened.
Murong Qiao nodded. “Right now. The sooner, the better.”
When she found out that Huo Yichen had encountered trouble and was being pressured by the board of directors, she would definitely not stand by and do nothing.
“Alright, I’ll do it immediately.” Jiang Chi didn’t delay.
After receiving Murong Qiao’s instructions, he put down his work and stood up to make a call.
This news conference was held too quickly. Coupled with the fact that it was Murong Qiao’s last-minute decision, the scale was not big. Fortunately, the reporters from several famous newspapers were all here.
The venue was at CG company. Murong Qiao looked at the many “guns and cannons” facing her and took the microphone.
“I gathered everyone here today to share my joy.”
“So far, many people have been curious about me and are also very curious about my boyfriend that I’ve never publicized.”
Seeing Murong Qiao mention this topic, the reporters present immediately seemed to have been injected with stimulants. All of them held their equipment and wished they could stick the camera on Murong Qiao’s face. Murong Qiao raised her hand to let everyone see the ring on her ring finger clearly. “In a week, my boyfriend, Huo Yichen, who is also the President of the Huo Corporation, and I will hold an engagement party.”
This news was like a bomb that landed in the crowd and caused a commotion.
Someone immediately asked, “May I ask how long you’ve been dating? How did you meet?”
“Why do you suddenly want to announce the engagement this time?”
“Before you and the President of the Huo Corporation…”
The countless questions that flooded over nearly drowned Murong Qiao.
Jiang Chi stood at the side to prevent anyone from causing trouble. Looking at the excited reporters, he also looked at his boss in surprise.
Before the press conference began, even Jiang Chi didn’t know what Murong Qiao wanted to do.
However, when he heard that she had suddenly announced her engagement to Huo Yichen without any warning, Jiang Chi’s first reaction was to wonder what the Eldest Young Master would think when he saw this scene.
No matter what, the engagement banquet between the Murong Family and the Huo Family was an earth-shattering matter. After many reporters learned of this news, they hurriedly published the news online. For a moment, the exposure soared.
Murong Qiao then posted the news on her account and tagged Huo Yichen’s account, causing many fans who had received the updates to comment.
“Although I had seen Moon Goddess and President Huo go on Love Synthesis together previously, why do I feel that the engagement banquet was announced so suddenly…”
“Congratulations! Blessings!”
“Moon Goddess is about to get engaged. Boohoo, she’s getting married. But I still hope that Moon Goddess will be happy!”
“Although I’m also giving my blessings, I don’t know if you noticed, but why is Moon Goddess the only one at the press conference? Shouldn’t both of them be present at the announcement of such an engagement party?”
Huo Yichen, who had been criticized, was still in the conference room, not to mention announcing the engagement banquet with Murong Qiao.
Halfway through his sentence, Zheng Qiguang received a call and went out at the last minute. Therefore, only Xu Dong and Huo Yichen were left talking.
Xu Dong only felt that Huo Yichen was simply difficult to deal with. After talking for so long, it was as if he was impenetrable.
He took a glass of water and took a sip to moisten his throat. He was thinking about what he had to take from Huo Yichen today.
Be it his position or shares, Huo Yichen could forget about escaping unscathed.
Xu Dong was still calculating in his mind when he saw Zheng Qiguang push open the meeting room with a strange expression and walk in.
“The two of us have been in the company for a long time. This suggestion is also for the good of the company…” Xu Dong continued.
He sighed. “Young Master Huo, the position of CEO_________________________ ”
“President Huo, there’s no problem with you sitting in this position,” Zheng Qiguang suddenly said.
Xu Dong was about to nod in agreement instinctively when he realized that Zheng Qiguang’s meaning was the opposite of his. He frowned and looked at Zheng Qiguang.
However, Zheng Qiguang didn’t look at Xu Dong at all. He only looked at Huo Yichen. “I was wrong previously. I’m sorry.”
Not only was Xu Dong puzzled by Zheng Qiguang’s sudden change, even Huo Yichen, who was originally prepared, frowned and was puzzled.
“In the entire Huo Corporation, there’s definitely no one more suitable for this position than President Huo.” Zheng Qiguang spoke up instead.
Without Zheng Qiguang cooperating with him, Xu Dong couldn’t say anything even if he wanted to. He immediately felt extremely aggrieved.
The call Zheng Qiguang picked up at the last minute was naturally from his subordinate. Then, he found out that Murong Qiao had announced her engagement at the last minute.
When he saw the video posted online, Zheng Qiguang’s mind turned blank.
Now, he finally knew that his and Xu Dong’s plans couldn’t be established.
Originally, they could still accuse Huo Yichen of being incompetent. But now that Murong Qiao had announced that Huo Yichen had the Murong Family’s support, if they continued to be aggressive, it would seem like they were targeting Huo Yichen. They might even end up in a bad situation.
Therefore, after returning to the meeting room, Zheng Qiguang suddenly spoke in contrast with Xu Dong.
“In that case, since Director Zheng said so, our meeting today will end here,”
Huo Yichen took the opportunity to announce.
This time, Xu Dong couldn’t vent his anger.
Seeing Huo Yichen get up and leave the conference room, Xu Dong glared at
Zheng Qiguang. “What are you doing!”
“…Take a look at the Internet first.” Zheng Qiguang smiled bitterly.
Xu Dong didn’t understand, but since Zheng Qiguang said so, he immediately took out his phone.
Not only Xu Dong, but Huo Yichen also received a message on his cell phone when he returned to his office.
He had always paid special attention to Murong Qiao’s account, not to mention that Murong Qiao had taken the initiative to tag him when she announced the engagement this time.
After seeing the news, Huo Yichen immediately understood why Zheng Qiguang had said that just now.
However, the engagement was announced so suddenly, and Murong Qiao had never discussed it with him in advance. The more Huo Yichen thought about it the stranger he found it.
Just as he was puzzled, he saw Ye Zhen suddenly push open the office door with a guilty expression.
“…President.” Ye Zhen knocked on the door and walked in.
He lowered his head and walked over to Huo Yichen as if he was about to die.
There was no need to explain further. Huo Yichen immediately guessed the reason for Ye Zhen’s guilt. “You told her?”
“I didn’t say it… but it’s… it’s about the same.” Ye Zhen lowered his head even more.
He thought about how it was because of his call that Young Miss Murong held a news conference to announce the engagement banquet. Now, the President had found out…
Ye Zhen immediately felt that he was not far from death.
In the end, Qiaoqiao still found out.
Huo Yichen sighed. Just as he was about to speak to Ye Zhen, his cell phone vibrated and he saw Murong Qiao’s call..
