Chapter 35 Substitute
"There seems to be something strange between Miss Huo and my eldest brother." Qi Yihan whispered while staring at Huo Yunxi's expression.
"No, we are just a cooperative relationship." She was slightly panicked and really didn't want others to know that there had been that kind of relationship between her and Qi Yiyu.
Qi Yihan didn't speak any more, and always felt that Qi Yi Jue was a little strange. He used to be a quiet person and never asked about other people's affairs. Even if he was a partner, he would cancel the cooperation if he didn't like it, but why he wanted to put it up this time, it was simply not like his style.
The two of them didn't talk anymore, just ate the dishes on this plate quietly and thought about their own things.
After dinner, Huo Yunxi returned home and waited for Xizi to come back for a while.
"Have you gained anything?" She looked at Xizi with a tired face and poured her a glass of water.
Xizi took a big drink, as if he was very thirsty.
"I went to the civilized newspaper to make an appointment with my classmate. He just said that he didn't know about it. He helped me go back and inquire about it. But I always feel strange here. Obviously, he is responsible for the source of the materials, but he said he didn't know. Xizi drank all the water in the cup before speaking.
She listened and thought about Xizi's words. If she said it, then there must be something in it.
"Well, then you can continue to wait for your classmates. The vice president will reply soon. At that time, you can also see if it is the same as what you investigated, and we will make further plans." She has her own plan in mind.
In any case, Huo Jianxin will give her an explanation and will deal with it satisfactorily, so she can follow this matter.
"Well, okay, I'll keep staring over there anyway." Xizi nodded and agreed.
Three days after the appointment soon passed, and the matter was quickly calmed down.
The Civilized Newspaper claimed that those photos were PS, not real, and someone deliberately framed the Huo Group.
And as a publisher, they also apologized to the Huo Group, and this matter is over.
"President, I have found out this matter. It was a citizen at that time who exposed the matter to the civilized newspaper in order to covet money, and I also found out that the original model was actually sent by the Meng Group and deliberately caused trouble. The two women injured that day were also deliberately by the Meng Group. Arranged. Obviously, Meng's Group deliberately framed our company. Huo Jianxin carefully reported to her in her office the news he found these days.
The more she listened, the more she frowned, and her views on this matter were a little different.
"Are you sure?" She didn't believe Huo Jianxin's words. If that man really came to the company with photos and asked them to give him money. Maybe he didn't have that much money to take to the newspaper.
Huo Jianxin saw that she was suspicious and quickly added.
"I have found someone. Do you want to meet him?" Huo Jianxin has already figured out the next trap. He just wants to cause conflicts between her and Meng's group.
At that time, she will offend the Meng Group because of this matter, then she will definitely be in trouble. At that time, she will continue to show off.
There is no reason for her to ignore it at this time. Only by meeting her to ask about the situation can she understand the situation more thoroughly.
"Well, let's meet." She nodded and put down the documents in her hand, preparing to meet the person Huo Jianxin said.
Soon Huo Jianxin brought someone over. He was a middle-aged man who looked very honest and seemed to be shaking because of nervousness.
"What's your name?" She did not start to ask directly, but asked his name gently.
"My name is Chen Xiaoming." Chen Xiaoming's voice was trembling when he spoke, and he could hear his nervousness and fear at this moment.
She looked up and down at Chen Xiaoming and found that there seemed to be a scar on his neck, and it seemed to be a new wound. Could it be that he had just been beaten?
"Vice president, please go out first. I want to talk to Mr. Chen alone." She turned her head and said to Huo Jianxin standing beside her.
Huo Jianxin nodded and walked to Chen Xiaoming.
"You'd better be honest and make all of them. Don't try to play tricks." It sounds like you understand everything, but it really smells of threat.
Chen Xiaoming's body trembled more and more, and there was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Sit down, let's sit down and have a good talk." She saw Chen Xiaoming's fear and thought of Huo Jianxin's words just now, and secretly had a plan in her heart.
"If President Huo has anything to ask, just ask him. I will definitely explain it all." Chen Xiaoming stretched out his hand to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, bowed slightly and stood aside, not daring to sit down.
She walked around Chen Xiaoming and looked at him as if he was getting more and more nervous.
"What do you think I will ask?" She did not ask directly, but threw the question to Chen Xiaoming.
Chen Xiaoming became more and more nervous when she did this.
"Does President Huo want to ask me about the newspaper? Your vice president has talked to me before, and I have admitted that it was indeed revealed to the civilized newspaper. The more Chen Xiaoming spoke, the quieter he became, and he couldn't hear it clearly later.
A sneer slowly appeared at the corners of her mouth, and then sat on her swivel chair, staring at Chen Xiaoming closely.
"Then what's the purpose of doing that?" Her tone was very flat and didn't mean to be angry at all.
"For..... For... For money." Chen Xiaoming hesitated when he spoke, looking embarrassed.
"Oh, isn't it? How much does the civilized newspaper give you? She looked at Chen Xiaoming as a queen with a faint expression on her face.
The cold sweat on Chen Xiaoming's forehead seems to have never been broken. He wiped it again and again.
"10,000 yuan."
"Oh, then you are really stupid. You know that you must not only take so much money to threaten Huo's Group with those photos. Aren't you doing a loss? Bang, tell me your real purpose." She, who was still talking well, suddenly changed her attitude and patted the table hard, and her expression was much more serious.
Chen Xiaoming was shocked by her action of patting the table, and his body began to tremble again, and his eyes kept dodging.
"No, there is no other purpose, I, I, I'm just for money. If I had come to your company at the beginning, you would have killed me, so I secretly gave the photo to the newspaper, but I didn't expect you to find me. President Huo, spare my life, really just for money, nothing else. Chen Xiaoming was very scared and immediately knelt down and begged her for mercy.
She looked at the man who kept kowtowed on the ground and felt really sad for him. She didn't know that he was a scapegoat.
"Then how did you give it to the newspaper?" She asked coldly.
"It's given directly." Chen Xiaoming quickly said.
"Ha ha, it's given directly. For whom? You'd better not lie. I'll give you a chance now. If you still refuse to tell the truth, then don't blame me for being rude. She exuded a strong breath all over her body and looked coldly at Chen Xiaoming.
Chen Xiaoming's body was obviously stunned, but he must have revealed it again.
"President Huo, I really did this. I gave it to Kong Haosheng, the editor-in-chief of the Civilized Newspaper." Chen Xiaoming still insisted that he did it himself.
She no longer forced to ask. Since Chen Xiaoming didn't say anything, she would also find a way to find out this person.
"Peiwen, please call the vice president in for me." She dialed Ye Peiwen's phone and ordered to get up.
Soon Huo Jianxin came in and looked at Chen Xiaoming kneeling on the ground, feeling a little nervous.
"President, what did he say?" Looking at her indifferent face, Huo Jianxin couldn't touch it even more.
"I said everything." She leaned against the chair and looked at Huo Jianxin. There was a trace of panic on his face, and she was curious about what he was nervous about.
"So what to do now?" Huo Jianxin is also smart. He doesn't know what they have said and doesn't ask what they said.
"Just leave it to you. Let's end this matter." She said to Huo Jianxin, but she didn't think it was over. She couldn't let go of the black hands behind her so easily.
Huo Jianxin saw that she said it was over like this, and his plan was in vain again, and he was secretly worried.
"President, I don't think this matter can be settled like this. Then the Meng Group will bully us again. We can't swallow it." Huo Jianxin immediately brought out the Meng Group and deliberately provoked her anger.
