Chapter 861 - Chapter 861 Chapter 861 Making the Jiang Family Invest in Him

Chapter 861: Chapter 861: Making the Jiang Family Invest in Him Chapter 861: Chapter 861: Making the Jiang Family Invest in Him Huo Chi suddenly realized that once he left the Huo Family, he truly had nothing, and for him, this was nothing short of a hellish nightmare.

…

Han Luo was also in this hospital, though certainly without the preferential treatment that Huo Chi received. After Father Huo had conveniently rescued him, he tossed Han Luo into a general ward and then stopped concerning himself with him.

When he woke up, there was a moment of daze, followed by the sudden feeling that he had thought of something. His body jerked violently as he quickly grabbed his phone.

Seeing it was out of power, he then borrowed a charger from a nurse.

After plugging in the charger, he waited a few minutes before turning on his phone.

He stared intently at the phone, his heart full of urgency. When the phone finally booted up, the first thing he did was check the messages with his teacher.

The latest message was still from two days ago, with the teacher asking what time his flight was.

Seeing that he hadn’t responded, the teacher had left another message.

[Contact me when you arrive.]

Han Luo took a deep breath and dialed his teacher’s international number, waiting a while before the call was answered. When it was, he spoke fluently in English right away.

“Teacher, I am very sorry, I was busy with something the last two days and therefore couldn’t reply to you in time.”

“No problem, have you arrived in the M country yet?”

Han Luo licked his dry lips, nervously saying, “I’m planning to head over in the next couple of days. About the stuff we discussed before, how have you arranged things?”

“Luo, I’m really sorry. Everything was going well, and if you had arrived at the institute, you could have started as my assistant, but…”

The person on the other end seemed genuinely regretful, their voice dropping a bit, “The director suddenly said we don’t need more people, and I might not be able to help you.”

Han Luo was stunned; he had thought of a fallback, but now this path was Suddenly blocked, and he couldn’t help feeling anxious, “Regarding the treatment, I can make concessions.”

“It’s not about the treatment.”

The other side was quiet for a while before sighing, “Alright, Luo, let me be honest with you. The news about you and the Tianqi Research Institute has spread over here. We cannot employ someone who is full of lies; it would cause a crisis of credibility for the institute.”

Han Luo felt as if he had been struck by lightning, completely charred on the outside and tender inside.

How could this happen!

His vision suddenly swam; if he hadn’t been sitting on the bed, he probably would have been unable to stand.

The person on the other side of the phone call continued to say, “Not just Daine, I’m afraid it won’t work for you to go to other institutes either. Ah, you’ve really disappointed me.”

Han Luo’s lips moved slightly, “Listen to my explanation.”

“No, you don’t need to explain, you just need to take responsibility for your actions. Alright, I have to go get busy now, so I’ll hang up.”

The call was disconnected.

Han Luo sat there dazed for a long time until a nurse noticed that something was wrong with him and asked what was the matter. Only then did he snap back to reality.

His face was as pale as death; from now on, not to mention getting ahead, he didn’t even have a space to grow, let alone fantasize about making Tianqi regret.

Han Luo was unwilling to accept this with a heavy heart; his mind worked fast before he suddenly thought of the Jiang Family.

The Jiang Family was engaged in the tech industry. What if he convinced the Jiang Family to invest in him?

He believed he had given Jiang Jing quite a bit of help, and Jiang Jing was unaware that she was being used by him; she might even be grateful to him now.

Han Luo thought this plan was viable, so he quickly went through the discharge procedures.

However, when he walked out of the hospital, he discovered that many reporters had gathered outside.

Seeing him come out, the reporters immediately surrounded him, bombarding him with questions about his views on the Tianqi Research Institute matter.

Han Luo was taken aback, not having the time to react.

The police pushed through the crowd, “Han Luo, right? You are now a suspect in a theft case. Please come with us for an investigation.”

Han Luo’s vision darkened, and this time he genuinely fainted.

…

“You did very well. It’s over now; he won’t be able to turn the tables.”

Qiao Yun propped up her chin, the other hand holding a mobile phone, her eyelashes half-lowered, her whole demeanor languid.

“Understood.”

Being praised, Han Wang’s icy face revealed a hint of a smile, “Teacher, not only can Pei Yao be of help to you, but I can also do very well.”

Qiao Yun: “…”

She really couldn’t understand why they would be jealous over such a thing.

In handling these matters, Qiao Yun was still very adept; she said warmly, “The research institute really needs you. Leave those minor tasks to Pei Yao.”

Han Wang took it to mean that she was the main support, with Pei Yao merely being a servant handling trivial matters.

Very good, with this thought, she felt even happier.

Han Luo’s voice chirped cheerily, “Rest assured, I’ll definitely take good care of the research institute for you.”

“Mmm.” Qiao Yun was very gratified; both Pei Yao and Han Wang were easily mollified.

Han Wang reported, “The preparations for the press conference are already underway.”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun tapped her fingertips on the desk, seemingly pondering something, and asked, “Has the Huo Family been notified?”

“I’ve already notified them first, but I only told them that Tianqi is launching a new product. I didn’t give the specifics,” Han Wang kept one card close to her chest.

Whether it would become a shock or a surprise remained to be seen.

The Huo Family had indeed caused certain trouble for Tianqi, and while Professor Qiao didn’t care, Han Wang wasn’t willing to let them off so easily.

Despite Han Wang’s usually cold demeanor, she was actually a person who remembered grievances very clearly.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become the most feared existence in the research institute, second only to Professor Qiao.

After mulling it over, Qiao Yun felt there was nothing more to say and let Han Wang go back to her tasks.

After ending the call, Qiao Yun received a message from Pei Yao: [Boss, I’m in Yuncheng! Surprise or not surprised?]

Qiao Yun raised an eyebrow. Pei Yao coming over was definitely about the press conference.

Pei Yao continued: [Come out, meet up?]

Qiao Yun replied succinctly: [Location.]

Pei Yao sent Qiao Yun the address of a restaurant.

After glancing at it, Qiao Yun put away her phone and nodded to Su Mian, “I’m going out, no need to wait for me to have dinner.”

“Go ahead.” Su Mian didn’t ask where Qiao Yun was going, her gaze swept over Qiao Yun with concern, “Have fun. If anyone dares to bully you, tell Mom.”

Qiao Yun paused, then nodded: “Yeah.”

In the last couple of days, Su Mian had been looking at her with a very complicated gaze. Qiao Yun couldn’t understand it, but she could feel that Su Mian seemed worried about her, sometimes even appearing very angry.

Professor Qiao sighed. Humans are truly hard to figure out.

When Qiao Yun was about to leave to welcome Pei Yao, Li Hanzhou found out and went along with her. By the time Lu Shiran and Li Miao found out, it was already too late; the two of them had gone early.

…

Pei Yao was still on the road when he sent the message to Qiao Yun and, upon receiving her definite response, he turned the car around and headed towards the restaurant.

Soon, he arrived.

Pei Yao parked the car in the underground parking lot and walked to the elevator to wait for the one going up.

The elevator doors opened quickly, and Pei Yao stepped in. Meanwhile, the doors of the adjacent elevator also opened.

An old man and a child stepped out.

When the older man brushed past Pei Yao, he froze for a moment, then turned his head sharply, but only saw the closing elevator doors.

He stood puzzled in his spot, frowning with an indescribable expression on his face.
