Chapter 448 Suspension of Project
Chapter 448 Suspension of Project
Hearing this, Huo Qingzhou immediately became alert.
Zhang Cai continued to respond, saying that in addition to meeting with Huo Wencheng privately in the past few days, Lin Kaichen also met with several shareholders of the company to maintain relationships.
Huo Qingzhou listened and his expression turned cold.
Zhang Cai stood aside and reported what he had investigated. Originally, he found it strange that Huo Qingzhou suddenly arranged for him to investigate Lin Kaichen yesterday.
He's just a cooperative partner, why are you suddenly investigating him?
However, after the investigation, it was found that Huo Qingzhou's idea was correct.
"Boss Huo, I also found out that the technology company run by Lin Kaichen has investment from the He family behind it."
Huo Qingzhou was confused: "What family?"
What is his relationship with the He family?
Zhang Cai nodded, waited for the report to be finished, and carefully observed the man's expression.
Huo Qingzhou took another close look at the recent cooperative project and read all the plans. He felt somewhat worried and temporarily ordered the project to be suspended.
This project was suddenly introduced by Huo Wencheng at the beginning, and he reported it to Grandpa Huo in advance. In addition, because of Huo Wencheng's kindness, he did not pay much attention to it.
After Zhang Cai left the office, Huo Qingzhou was alone, thinking quietly.
It was not without reason that Zhang Cai suddenly investigated Lin Kaichen. Ever since he saw Lily standing next to Lin Kaichen at the wine tasting party last time, and later heard Zhou Ning say that she had a conversation with Lin Kaichen before deciding to go back to the hotel first, he became suspicious.
Although the relationship between Lin Kaichen and Lily was not investigated, there were other clues that forced Huo Qingzhou to be careful.
As a result, Huo Wencheng almost fainted when he heard the news of the project suspension.
He had just made up his mind to do something big.
I really can’t stand it!
Huo Wencheng was so angry that he went straight to Huo Qingzhou's office, but this time the other party had anticipated his judgment and specially arranged people to guard the door, so he couldn't get in at all.
Zhang Cai came to him and reminded him to leave quickly.
He refused and knocked on the door hard, as if he was going to kick it open.
"Why did you suspend my project without permission? Let me in. I want an explanation."
Zhang Cai reminded: "Director Huo, this is the company, please be aware of the occasion. Mr. Huo is doing this for the sake of the company. Mr. Lin is not a reliable partner."
"Unreliable?" Huo Wencheng's face was twisted with anger, and he shouted, "I think he is targeting me on purpose! Did he want to deal with me because I mocked him last time? Has he mocked me less often? Or is it that Mr. Lin only praised me for my ability, and he is jealous?!"
Zhang Cai felt ashamed when he heard these nonsensical words.
But when I think about the fact that these words came from Huo Wencheng's mouth, I can understand it.
He explained earnestly, "Boss Huo didn't target you on purpose. He just wanted to be cautious for Huo's sake. This project is just on hold. If there are no problems in the end, Boss Huo said that you are still the person in charge, so you can continue."
"Really?"
Zhang Cai nodded: "Of course, President Huo still values you very much. Besides, will President Huo care about the company? For so many years, it is President Huo who has worked hard with everyone, and the Huo Group has achieved its current glory. We all have to believe in President Huo's decision."
After hearing what Zhang Cai said, Huo Wencheng's attitude changed slightly, and he felt that what Zhang Cai said made some sense.
Zhang Cai lowered his voice and said, "This is an office, with so many eyes watching us. Director Huo, if you don't want to make a fool of yourself, you should go back first. If you anger Director Huo, I'm afraid..."
Huo Wen looked around. Although the employees were all doing their own things, he always felt that many eyes were staring at him.
In order to avoid making a fool of himself, he turned and left.
The project was temporarily suspended and he didn't know what to do for a moment. Finally, he came to the bar and drank alone out of boredom.
He has always wanted to make a name for himself so that others would not look down on him, but the reality is full of difficulties.
Suddenly, there was a noise beside me.
This time, Huo Wencheng didn't need to look sideways to know it was Lin Kaichen.
After Lin Kaichen sat down, he ordered a glass of the wine he had drunk earlier and started chatting with Huo Wencheng intentionally or unintentionally.
Huo Wencheng: "You must have known about the suspension of the project?"
Lin Kaichen nodded.
Huo Wencheng: "You don't have to worry. My eldest brother said that this project is only temporarily suspended. If there are no problems, we will continue to cooperate."
"I'm not in a hurry," Lin Kaichen drank a sip of wine leisurely, "I'm just worried about your mood. After all, you are in charge of this project, and you have been looking forward to it. I'm afraid you will be disappointed when it is suddenly suspended."
"You still understand me. I definitely feel lost, but what can I do?"
Huo Wencheng drank a mouthful of wine, thought of what Zhang Cai had said to him, and sighed:
"It's better to be cautious. Although I don't like you, I know he's doing it for the company. I just listened to you and wanted to work with you because I wanted to achieve something."
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, this project is time-consuming and labor-intensive and may not bring proportional benefits. It's normal for you to have concerns."
When Lin Kaichen heard Huo Wencheng suddenly say these words, surprise flashed in his eyes.
The corners of his mouth squeezed out an unknown arc: "Seeing that you think so, I feel relieved." Pause, "It's just..."
Huo Wencheng asked: "Just what?"
"It's just that I'm surprised that Mr. Huo would say this to you. Mr. Huo told me before that he wanted to work with me. Maybe you're so cautious because you're solely responsible for a project this time."
Upon hearing this, Huo Wencheng frowned.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Lin Kaichen nodded: "It's not easy to hear the truth, but it's true. Mr. Huo may not have believed you from the beginning. Now he just found an excuse to suspend the project. You are back to your previous position and can't turn over. You can't pose a threat to him."
"I just feel bad for you. You are obviously very capable, but the Huo family doesn't value you. Mr. Huo also suppresses you in every way. He doesn't want you to stand out and is worried that you will surpass him. This may be Mr. Huo's true thoughts."
The more he listened, the angrier he became. Huo Wencheng's face turned grim and he slammed the table.
After thinking about it for a while, he shook his head: "Brother probably wouldn't think so. He wouldn't suspend the project because I would pose a threat to him."
In Huo Qingzhou's mind, she probably never took him seriously, so how could he worry about such things?
Lin Kaichen smiled and said, "You are the only one who thinks this way. How could Mr. Huo tell you his true thoughts? I only told you because I saw that you are full of talent but suffered a lot."
Listening to Lin Kaichen's words, Huo Wencheng's brain almost lost the ability to think, and only impulse remained.
When she thought about how he had been suppressed and unhappy over the years, coupled with her jealousy of Huo Qingzhou's prosperous life and the fact that she always spoke harshly to him, she definitely looked down on him.
If he hadn't listened to Lin Kaichen, he wouldn't have known that Huo Qingzhou was afraid that his position would threaten the other party.
Regardless of the pain in his hand, Huo Wencheng slapped the table again angrily, his original thoughts gone, and he shouted:
"He treats me like this, targeting me everywhere, I can't stand it anymore!"
Little did he know that when Lin Kaichen saw how excited he was, the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly.
