Chapter 112 Accident

Chapter 112 Accident

When Huo Zhizhou and Gu Shixi left the meeting room, they saw Huo Sinian discussing something with President Song of Yuanyi Games.

He took out his phone and made a call. When President Song saw this, his eyes changed slightly, and he nodded to Huo Sinian and said, "Excuse me, I need to take this call."

"Please go ahead," Huo Sinian said politely.

Mr. Song walked a short distance to the side with his phone before answering: "Mr. Huo."

Huo Zhizhou looked at them from a distance, his steady voice slowly rising: "I will take Yuan Yi to another level. How high you can reach depends on your own choice."

Upon hearing this...

President Song subconsciously looked around, his gaze finally settling on Huo Zhizhou.

Huo Sinian followed his gaze and met Huo Zhizhou's eyes.

Huo Zhizhou removed the phone from his ear, hung up, looked away, and turned to walk out of their sight with Gu Shixi.

“Young Master Huo.” President Song understood the implication and declined Huo Sinian’s request. “I may not be able to agree to what you just said. After all, this is Yuan Yi’s tenth anniversary celebration, and it would be more appropriate for Yuan Yi’s people to present the awards.”

"I understand." Huo Sinian nodded gently.

Mr. Song breathed a slight sigh of relief: "How about we arrange for you to sit in the first row?"

"No need," Huo Sinian refused. "I'll just stand here."

"This..." President Song hesitated slightly.

"Just follow your previous arrangements," Huo Sinian said gently. "I might have to leave later if something comes up."

Since he had already said that, President Song didn't try to persuade him to stay. He knew very well that Huo Zhizhou was the core of their company, and no matter what happened, he had to be in charge; otherwise, the consequences of angering him would be unpredictable.

About half an hour later.

The 10th anniversary celebration is coming to an end.

Aside from the basic procedures of speeches by the host and leaders, the rest of the ceremony consisted of a 10th anniversary lucky draw and an awards ceremony for performances by various departments.

Xue Qian drew a tablet.

Another person in the department won a mobile phone.

Jiang Ruan has always had bad luck; all she got was "Thank you for participating."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Standing in an inconspicuous corner, Gu Shixi took in her expression. He nudged the person next to him with his elbow: "Didn't you pull some strings to get your wife some money or a prize?"

Huo Zhizhou: "This is unfair to the others."

"When has Young Master Huo ever cared about fairness?" Gu Shixi bluntly exposed him without giving him any face.

Huo Zhizhou did not speak.

Gu Shixi then said, "I just heard that your wife's program came in second place. Aren't you going to present her with the award?"

Huo Zhizhou simply replied with two words: "I'm not going."

What kind of deal he made with President Song is an internal matter. Even if someone knew he worked at Yuanyi, they wouldn't think much of it; at most, they would assume he had a new investment target.

But if the award is officially presented at the tenth anniversary celebration, that would be a different story.

Those old guys at the Huo Group are bound to cause a huge uproar.

He wasn't afraid, but he was also annoyed.

"It seems Huo Sinian is planning to go." Gu Shixi glanced at Huo Sinian, who was very close to the podium.

Huo Zhizhou's eyes darkened slightly.

Given Huo Sinian's style of doing things, he shouldn't have done such a thing.

Although Yuan Yi is not as large as Huo's, its tenth anniversary celebration is still made into the financial news. If that gets seen, he will be nagged by the board members and those two people.

If he wants to seize power, he shouldn't do this kind of thing.

Thinking of this, she looked at Huo Sinian with a slightly puzzled expression. The latter nodded slightly and smiled politely when their eyes met.

"I can't stand his hypocritical act." Gu Shixi got goosebumps all over from his gaze. "He clearly wants to kill you every day, but every time he talks to you, he acts like a good older brother."

"That's his way of surviving," Huo Zhizhou said without offering much judgment.

"The lucky draw is over, and the prizes will be distributed to all departments tomorrow." The host's voice announced the end of this segment and the beginning of another. "Now, Mr. Song will announce tonight's program rankings."

Just as Gu Shixi said, Jiang Ruan and her team's program came in second place.

The prize money is 50,000.

Jiang Ruan, the main participant, went up to receive the award.

When President Song handed the trophy to her, he clearly showed her more emotion than he had shown to the first-place winner, and even made a perfunctory polite remark: "Your idea is excellent, I hope you win first place next time."

"Thank you, Mr. Song." Jiang Ruan bowed in thanks, a big smile spreading across her face.

She has won even more prestigious trophies.

But after so many years, this is the first time I've received an award with my colleagues, which has caused a subtle change in my mindset.

"Work hard," President Song encouraged her. "I believe Yuanyi will get better and better."

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Yes."

After a brief discussion, Jiang Ruan moved to the other side, waiting for President Song to present awards to the others and take a group photo. The host had whispered this to them before they went on stage.

At that very moment.

A calm but worried voice suddenly rang out: "Be careful!"

Jiang Ruan: "?"

President Song: "?"

Everyone on stage was completely bewildered.

Before they could react, Huo Sinian suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Ruan and pushed her away, causing the crystal chandelier above to fall on him.

Bang!

Whoosh!

A series of loud noises followed, and the awards stage was littered with shattered glass shards.

"Ah!" The people on stage screamed and shrank back several steps.

Jiang Ruan staggered after being forcibly pushed aside. When she regained her balance and looked over, she saw Huo Sinian squatting on the ground with blood dripping from his head.

Her pupils contracted: "Big Brother!"

"Are you alright?" Huo Sinian asked with concern, letting the blood drip down his face.

"I'm fine." Compared to his bleeding head, her ankle cut by shards of glass was nothing.

Huo Sinian smiled weakly: "It's good that you're alright..."

Before he could finish speaking, he fainted.

Jiang Ruan quickly walked over and supported him, letting him lean against her, her eyes filled with urgent worry: "President Song, could you please arrange a car to take Mr. Huo to the hospital? His injury can't be delayed."

Before President Song could speak, Huo Zhizhou walked over first.

He stood before them, his pure black eyes fixed on the bleeding, unconscious man, his hands hanging at his sides tightening little by little.

Huo Sinian.

I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here.

"President Huo." President Song felt a little relieved to see his pillar of support arrive, but the thought of the incident involving the eldest son of the Huo family at his tenth anniversary celebration brought it up again.

"Aren't you going to get your boss to the hospital yet?" Huo Zhizhou said coldly, looking at Secretary Ye and the bodyguards rushing towards them. "Are you trying to delay the process of collecting his body?"

Secretary Ye: "..."

There's no need to be so venomous.

They nimbly carried Huo Sinian to the car and rushed him to the hospital as quickly as possible.

Jiang Ruan stood up and followed, but before she could take two steps, Huo Zhizhou grabbed her wrist. His grip was strong, and his gaze was heavier than ever before: "Where are you going?"
