Cici stood still and waited for the two princes of the Chen family to fight.
It turned out that the new one was a little inferior. Several major clients of Maxis Newspapers directly responded that they did not intend to renew their contracts, and they were also actively contacting other newspaper groups.
Today's the weekend.
Cici was hurriedly called to the president's office.
While putting on his suit jacket, Mai Hao told her: "Let's go right away. Follow me to visit a client. I'll wait for you in the parking lot."
"Okay Mai." After receiving the order, Cici quickly returned to her office, picked up two boxes of souvenirs from the office and left in a hurry.
PARKING LOT.
Because it was the weekend, Mai Xi didn't call the driver and planned to drive by himself.
Cici put the souvenirs in the back seat and got into the passenger seat. She used to go out with Mai Zhao to visit clients, and the two of them had a close personal relationship.
It was not working time now, so Cici was not so formal and asked directly: "Mai Xi, who are we going to visit today?"
"Huo Chenfeng." Mai Zhao had a heavy look on his face.
Huo Chenfeng, the current executive president and managing director of Huo Enterprises, is the eldest son of the Huo family. Huo's is one of the companies that Cici visited yesterday, and it is also the most important advertising client of Maxis Group.
As the car left the parking lot, Mai Xi looked at the traffic outside and explained: "He refused to see me at Huo's Enterprise. I went to his private villa to get stuck in traffic again last night and never saw him. It's just three things. Since it's not You should give a reason for cooperation."
Cici's expression also became solemn. The customer's attitude of refusing to renew the contract was very firm, so today would definitely be a tough battle.
The car drove towards the top of Victoria Peak.
On the other side, Jiang Yao set off from home. When she was about to arrive, she asked Ah Zhong to park the car at the bus stop at the foot of Taiping Mountain. She and her roommate arranged to meet at this bus stop.
There was no one on the platform now. Jiang Yao waved to Azhong: "You can go back first and wait for me at the platform at five o'clock in the afternoon."
"Okay, young lady, please be safe."
Not long after Azhong's car drove out, a bus drove over, and Xu Mingxia and others got off the bus.
"Jiang Yao!" Xu Mingxia patted Jiang Yao's shoulder and jumped up from behind, "You came so early. Where do you live? Is it convenient to come here?"
Zhou Meiyi and Ma Jiaqi also stepped forward to greet Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao smiled at her roommates and skipped Xu Mingxia's previous question: "I only arrived a little earlier than you, so it's very convenient to come here."
"But how are we going to get to that senior's house? Can we go up the mountain?"
Xu Mingxia said: "Senior Huo will drive to pick us up. Originally, he said he would pick us up at home, but it was too troublesome for four people in four directions, so we asked him to pick us up at this bus station."
Jiang Yao nodded: "This senior is really nice. He taught us how to swim and even came to pick us up personally. The atmosphere in our school is good."
Hearing this, the other three roommates suddenly fell silent, and then looked at each other.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yao looked a little confused as she saw everyone hesitating to speak.
"I'm sorry Yaoyao," Zhou Meiyi's eyes flashed with apology, "Actually, the reason our senior wants to teach us how to swim this time is...because of you."
Jiang Yao became even more confused: "Because of me?"
Ma Jiaqi took over: "Yao Yao, Senior Huo...he is interested in you and asked us about you. He happened to know that we were worried about the swimming test recently, so he offered to help us practice. We thought I thought he was on the school swimming team and his skills must be good, so I agreed."
"Actually, we were originally scheduled to teach in the school swimming pool, but the school swimming team had to occupy the swimming pool on weekends, so the senior suggested going to his house..."
"We thought that Mr. Huo is a nice person and has a good family background. Since you are single anyway, it would be good to take this opportunity to get to know each other more. You, you won't blame us for making our own decisions, right?"
When he finally said it, several people looked visibly relieved.
Jiang Yao mentioned it in one breath: "Well, I don't blame you, but I am actually married."
She didn't say it before because she didn't think it was necessary. She went to school to study, and no one seemed to have asked her about it.
"What? You, are you married?" Xu Mingxia covered her mouth in surprise.
Zhou Meiyi and Ma Jiaqi also looked shocked: "Yaoyao, how old are you? You got married so early??"
This is the reason why Jiang Yao doesn't want to reveal too much privacy in school. Once he says one thing, he has to explain what follows.
In order not to raise more questions, she explained: "Well, it was my grandpa who arranged the wedding. Anyway, we will get married sooner or later."
Xu Mingxia said: "Then is your husband studying or working? Why didn't he see you off when school started? By the way, talking about this, I remembered that you never mentioned your family."
Jiang Yao is now two years old, and her roommates are just curious. She can understand that, after all, interactions between people begin with curiosity.
She had to continue to explain: "I am from the Mainland. My family is gone, so I came to Xiangjiang to join my husband's family. My husband is in poor health, doesn't go out much, and doesn't go to work."
"Ah?" Zhou Meiyi was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped, "Then didn't this baby girl trick you? You are so beautiful and young, but you marry a sick man who can't even leave the house. What's the point of this kind of marriage? ?”
Ma Jiaqi also echoed: "Yes, with your conditions you can marry even a wealthy family in Xiangjiang, why do you have to accept a baby kiss?"
Jiang Yao: "..." How should she explain? Or should she just say that her husband's family is a wealthy one and she just wants to be under the wealthy family so that she can enjoy the coolness?
However, due to her silence, everyone thought she had some difficulties and immediately stopped asking her.
But she started to care about her husband's condition again: "Then what disease does your husband have? Is it serious?"
Jiang Yao can answer this question: "He... is blind, and his legs and feet are not very good, but his family is well off..."
hiss--
Hearing this, the three roommates took a breath and looked at Jiang Yao with sympathy. Yaoyao was so pitiful that she actually married a disabled person.
As for the sentence about a good family background, they were automatically ignored by the three of them.
While they were talking, a white Bentley stopped in front of the three of them.
The car window slowly lowered, revealing Huo Jiyang's handsome and youthful face: "School girls, get in the car."
"Senior Huo!"
Knowing that Jiang Yao was married, no one dared to make a blind match. Xu Mingxia took the initiative to open the passenger door: "Senior Huo, I'm carsick and sit in the front."
Before Huo Jiyang could react, the remaining people had already taken their seats in the back seat.
Huo Jiyang, who grew up with a gentleman's education, certainly wouldn't care about who sits in the co-pilot seat. He smiled and warned several people: "Fasten your seat belts. The road up the mountain is a bit winding, so I'll try to drive as smoothly as possible. "
After saying that, he glanced at the rearview mirror and landed on Jiang Yao in the middle of the back seat.
Jiang Yao turned her face away casually and spoke to Zhou Meiyi next to her.
Huo Jiyang looked at the woman's palm-sized face, her smart and charming facial features, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, then he looked away and concentrated on driving.
Huo Zhai.
Seeing the manor-style villa in front of them, Xu Mingxia and others felt that their eyes couldn't see enough, and secretly sighed in their hearts, the Huo family is indeed rich!
Only Jiang Yao was still calm because the Chen family's old house was about the same size.
Huo Jiyang did not drive to the garage, but drove directly in from the gate. When the car slowed down and almost stopped, a voice suddenly came from outside the car: "Mr. Huo."
Mai Hao and Cici happened to be blocking the door of Huo's house, trying to get a chance to negotiate.
Huo Jiyang drove his eldest brother Huo Chenfeng's car today. Obviously the other party thought he was Huo Chenfeng. He lowered the window and planned to explain to the other party——
"you again?"
Seeing the familiar face, Huo Jiyang's expression suddenly changed, and he frowned impatiently.
"My eldest brother is not at home today. There is no point in waiting at the door. If you want to talk about business, go to the company to talk. What's the point of coming to your house and blocking the door?"
After saying that, he raised the car window and stopped talking.
In the car, Jiang Yao and others saw a man and a woman standing outside. Xu Mingxia often reads "Ming Pao" and inexplicably felt that the man looked familiar: "Hey, is that man a celebrity? Why do I think I have seen him in the newspaper? Woolen cloth?"
Huo Jiyang clarified her doubts: "Mai Zhengliang, the president of Maxx Newspaper."
"It turns out it's him!" Xu Mingxia suddenly remembered and said jokingly, "Okay, senior, I didn't expect that the CEO would be humble enough to come to your house to block the door."
Huo Jiyang curled his lips because of her teasing, and glanced at Jiang Yao through the rearview mirror unconsciously.
Jiang Yao was also a little shocked when she heard about Mingxun Newspaper. Isn't that the company where Mingpao is located? What kind of business did you come to Huo's house to discuss?
Huo Jiyang paid close attention to Jiang Yao's every move. Seeing her somewhat interested expression, he explained:
"In previous years, our Huo family had advertising cooperation with Maxis, and we were considered their big customers. This year, my eldest brother suddenly did not plan to renew the contract. Wasn't Maxis anxious? They came to block the door because of this matter. Yesterday, that Mai When Zhengliang came to my house, he was beaten by my elder brother for several hours, but I didn’t expect that he wouldn’t give up today.”
"Actually, apart from our Huo family, several other customers don't seem to be cooperating with them anymore."
These are what Huo Jiyang heard from his elder brother.
Jiang Yao thought about her thoughts: She used to cooperate well, but suddenly she stopped cooperating? Or if there are several companies in succession, wouldn’t Maxis suffer heavy losses?
"Ming Pao" is the best-selling newspaper owned by Maxis, and customers are willing to place advertisements in "Ming Pao". If major customers are lost, "Ming Pao"'s revenue will also drop sharply.
As soon as she got into a fight with Feng Meilin, something happened to Ming Pao. Could it be that Chen Yanbei was helping her vent her anger?
The more Jiang Yao thought about it, the more it made sense.
Suddenly a hint of sweetness arose in her heart, and it felt so good to have someone supporting her.
The Bentley was parked next to a lawn, and a few steps further was the outdoor swimming pool.
Huo Jiyang unbuckled his seat belt, took a long step, stepped out of the car seat, and then walked to the back seat and opened the door like a gentleman.
"School girls, please get out of the car."
Zhou Meiyi happened to be sitting in the outermost seat, and actually asked the young master of the Huo family to hold the car door for her. After she came out, she said sincerely: "Thank you, senior."
"My pleasure." Huo Jiyang answered Zhou Meiyi's question while looking at Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao, who had just stepped out of the car door with one foot, suddenly had goosebumps on her arms. She lowered her head to avoid Huo Jiyang's gaze and quickly passed by him.
Ma Jiaqi from behind, like Zhou Meiyi, said her thanks cautiously.
"Young Master."
After a few people got out of the car, a middle-aged man in a black formal suit stepped forward and brushed himself at Huo Jiyang.
Huo Jiyang threw the car keys to him: "Help me drive to the garage. By the way, is my brother at home?"
The middle-aged man is the housekeeper of the family. Hearing this, he nodded: "The young master is chatting with his friends in the study."
friend?
Huo Jiyang was a little surprised. His eldest brother didn't have many friends, and he couldn't bring many to the study, and he happened to know them all. Who was here?
