Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 824 - Chapter 824 Chapter 824 Do you want me to ingratiate myself

Chapter 824: Chapter 824 Do you want me to ingratiate myself with her? Chapter 824: Chapter 824 Do you want me to ingratiate myself with her? What happened today, even if it escalates to my eldest brother, as long as I plead with the elders in the family, there’s still room for turnaround.

After all, he bears the Huo surname, whether or not he’s willing, he must help him settle it.

But if Li Hanzhou personally intervenes, I’m afraid it won’t end well.

Huo Chi, clenching his fists, said in a restrained voice, “I was careless in handling this matter, as long as you don’t tell my eldest brother, I can do anything for you.”

Li Hanzhou sneered, “Oh, what can you do for me?”

“Anything at all.”

Huo Chi had never felt so humiliated in his life.

But as much as he liked to play, he still knew how to judge the situation, otherwise he wouldn’t have survived in the Huo Family for so long.

Li Hanzhou said in a cold voice, “Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is qualified to work for me.”

Huo Chi’s face turned extremely ugly in an instant.

The esteemed second young master of the Huo Family, who had everything his way in K Harbor, was now being compared to cats and dogs.

Li Hanzhou said dispassionately, “With an idiot like you in the Huo Family, bankruptcy is probably not far away.”

Having said that, without regard for the fire nearly spewing from Huo Chi’s eyes, he leisurely followed Qiao Yun.

It was only after Li Hanzhou had left that the experts present dared to barrage Huo Chi with a mix of anger and condemnation, surrounding him in a circle and demanding that he pay for today’s incident.

Huo Chi, having lost all patience, barked, “You all came out unscathed, isn’t that enough! You just want to reap benefits from me, rest assured, I will give them to you!”

The crowd was shocked, deeply feeling insulted. It was clear that Huo Chi was in the wrong, but he had the audacity to accuse them of just wanting to take advantage!

If it weren’t for Qiao Yun resolving the virus today, no one knew what would have happened next.

Xu Long, speaking as a representative, condemned, “Don’t think we’re afraid of you because you’re a Huo Family member. If you combine everyone present here, your Huo Family might not be able to protect you! If the Huo Family doesn’t explain themselves for today’s matter, from now on our Xu Family will refuse any cooperation with the Huo Family.”

The people present echoed his sentiment.

If this issue wasn’t handled properly, they would refuse to participate in any event hosted by the Huo Family ever again.

Offending such a large group from the academic and technology community would significantly impact the Huo Family’s goal of being a leader in the tech sector.

However, Huo Chi had yet to realize the gravity of the situation and felt that not only had Li Hanzhou threatened him, but now this nobody dared to as well.

He exhaled a breath of foul air and said with a cold laugh, “Don’t think that the Huo Family can’t make it without you.”

Huo Chi, after dropping this harsh statement, pushed someone out of the way and left under the escort of his bodyguards.

Han Luo, who had been trying hard to minimize his presence, took the opportunity to sneak out behind him, fearing that the crowd might turn on him next.

Some still wanted to pursue, but were forcefully stopped by the bodyguards. One exclaimed angrily, “I had thought too highly of the Huo Family. To think they still defend themselves after doing wrong.”

Xu Long snorted, “Wait and see, he’ll get what’s coming to him.”

After that, the group’s attention turned to Jiang Shaocheng, who was trying to stealthily slip away.

“Is Director Jiang not going to give an explanation?”

Jiang Shaocheng’s sweat poured down, feeling extremely unlucky.

All he wanted was to cooperate with the Huo Family; why did he have to encounter such a mess?

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he said with an awkward smile, “If I say I didn’t know what he was planning to do, will you believe me?”

“What do you think, Director Jiang?”

Their looks toward Jiang Shaocheng clearly conveyed their disbelief.

The Jiang Family is a co-organizer of today’s event, does he really not know anything at all?

Jiang Shaocheng yanked Jiang Jing over, “Jingjing, come and explain to them.”

Jiang Jing’s face wore an irritated expression, but she still patiently said, “Indeed, it was the Huo Family who approached us first, suggesting that the Jiang Family take the lead in organizing this large event. I had already mentioned to my father that there was something fishy about this, but considering it was the Huo Family, we couldn’t imagine anything going wrong, so we agreed.”

“If the Jiang Family wants to have a long-term development in this industry, we still need the support of all the uncles here, how could we dare to endanger your lives.”

Her heartfelt speech made everyone present feel much more at ease, whether true or false, at least she sounded more agreeable than Huo Chi.

Jiang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but in reality, she knew very well that even if these people believed her,

the attendees of today were not just these big shots, there were also many prominent families. If they were to unite against the Jiang Family, the Jiang Family would hardly come out unscathed.

In order to quell their anger, the Jiang Family would definitely have to make significant concessions.

Jiang Jing thought of Qiao Yun.

If Qiao Yun hadn’t been so troublesome, the Jiang Family wouldn’t have suffered along.

If before she was merely envious of Qiao Yun’s luck, now she felt a hint of hatred towards Qiao Yun.

“That girl by Li Hanzhou’s side is not simple.”

A low whisper suddenly came from her father beside her, Jiang Jing took a deep breath and replied nonchalantly, “Dad, it’s just cracking a virus, what’s so extraordinary about that, maybe she just happened to know.”

Jiang Shaocheng, an old fox, spoke in a low voice, “If you get the chance, try to get along well with her. Being able to receive special treatment from Li Hanzhou, she definitely isn’t just anyone.”

Jiang Jing said in surprise, “Dad, are you suggesting I cozy up to her?”

“Someone who managed to do what many others couldn’t, and even dared to openly debunk Huo Chi, does she not have some sort of backing?”

Jiang Jing replied sarcastically, “Of course, it’s because Li Hanzhou is backing her, and besides, she’s been adopted by the Qiao Family, which is Yuncheng’s medical dynasty, and she’s also Su Qingyan’s cousin. She offended the Huo Family today; the day Li Hanzhou no longer wants her, Huo Chi will surely not let her off.”

Hearing Jiang Jing’s analysis, Jiang Shaocheng wondered, puzzled, if he had misjudged the situation for once?

Jiang Jing’s brow furrowed then relaxed, still thinking her father was overthinking it.

On the other hand, Huo Chi left arrogantly, but there was a sense of unease in his heart as he ventured outside.

He tightened his grip on his hand, somewhat regretting speaking so harshly earlier.

But was the Huo Family afraid of them?

Huo Chi muttered to himself with a furrowed brow, “It should be fine, right? Big Brother wouldn’t treat me harshly just for these people.”

At the moment, he had no mood to think about these things.

He turned his gaze to Han Luo behind him, his eyes filled with malice, “Han Luo, no, perhaps I should call you Qi Luo. You dared to deceive me?”

Han Luo stumbled back involuntarily, trying to retreat but was held in place by a bodyguard behind him.

His legs trembled, and he said with pale lips, “Second Young Master, although I fabricated my background, my contributions to the Huo corporation over the years are genuine.”

Huo Chi laughed coldly, “So what? There are plenty of people who want to make contributions to the Huo corporation.”

Even if Han Luo wasn’t Professor Qiao’s student, it wouldn’t matter as long as today’s plan proceeded smoothly; he would still make use of him.

But now the plan had failed.

He said scornfully, “I thought you were very capable, but you’re not even as good as a little girl.”

Mentioning Qiao Yun, who ruined his plan,

Huo Chi’s expression darkened, “Who is that girl? How come I’ve never heard of such a person?”
