Huo Jingcheng did not agree, but turned his wheelchair to Zhu Jin's side and said, "I am here to accompany my wife to participate in the competition. If there is any cooperation, you can contact other people in the Huo Group. I am not working in the Huo Group recently."

"Wife?!" Helena exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hands, her glittering eyelashes fluttering up and down, "Oh, dear, are you kidding me? Who is she? Is she worthy of you?"

Huo Jingcheng frowned, with obvious displeasure on his face, "Please be respectful, she is my wife."

The cold tone and the chill that went straight into the heart made people tremble.

Zhu Jin, who was standing next to Huo Jingcheng, could clearly feel his displeasure.

Helena spread her hands, "Okay, okay. Honey, I was just joking with you, why are you still angry?"

"I really have business plans to cooperate with the Huo Group." Helena said, "It's not that I have a good relationship with you. I think if I can negotiate this big order, it will also be helpful for you in the Huo Group."

As she spoke, Helena's eyes fell on Huo Jingcheng's legs, and she gently tapped his chin with her fingertips, "Oh, dear, your legs will put you in a disadvantageous situation. I am helping you, and I also want to invite you to cooperate. Why don't we go to the box you reserved and have a good talk?"

"No need."

Huo Jingcheng said calmly, "I have no interest in cooperating with you. If you want to cooperate with the Huo Group, you can contact the relevant departments directly."

"Oh dear……"

"Also, we're not familiar enough to call each other that." Huo Jingcheng said mercilessly.

"Hello, French 303, card required." Assistant Chen stepped forward and handed over the restaurant's black gold membership card at the signal from Huo Jingcheng.

The waiter took it and helped to order it. "Okay, it's already been ordered for you. Just turn right and walk forward and you will see it."

"Okay, thank you."

This time, Helena did not catch up.

When they arrived at the box, Zhu Jin asked curiously, "Is that person familiar to you?"

She felt that Helena's tone sounded like she had at least worked with Huo Jingcheng before.

"We have worked together, but we were not very familiar with each other," said Huo Jingcheng.

Zhu Jin continued to ask, "She is..."

She felt that the face was unfamiliar, but she also felt as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember where it was for a while.

The only thing she was sure of was that the face was not among the contestants.

"You should know the Catherine Consortium?"

Zhu Jin nodded.

As a well-known foreign conglomerate, it spans multiple industries and has countless jewelry designs.

"She is Helena, the eldest daughter of the Victor family, the family that currently controls the Catherine Group." Huo Jingcheng tapped the seat handle with his fingertips as he spoke.

Zhu Jin opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

She really didn't expect that the other party would have this identity.

The worry that followed made her unable to help but ask, "Then didn't you consider agreeing to cooperate with her just now?"

"You will still have to return to the Huo Group in the future. If we can sign a cooperation agreement, it will be of great help to you when you return, right?" Zhu Jin asked.

Huo Jingcheng shook his head. "She is not the one who enjoys the inheritance rights in Victor, and the Catherine Consortium is not a single company that has the final say. She can't decide on much cooperation. There is no need."

Zhu Jin nodded thoughtfully.

Huo Jingcheng must know more about the situation of domestic and foreign groups than a layman like himself.

"Don't worry." Huo Jingcheng held her hand and squeezed it gently, "This matter is not a problem for me. I will not choose to cooperate with her."

"I thought you guys had a good relationship."

When Zhu Jin said this, there was a sourness in his tone that she didn't even notice.

"We've worked together before, but we're not that familiar with each other," Huo Jingcheng said. "Besides, not working with her won't hinder what I want to do."

He is not someone who would be threatened or need help from others.

Zhu Jin nodded, not quite understanding, "Then let's order first. I'm a little hungry."

"Well, you order." Huo Jingcheng looked at the lit screen on the vibrating phone and frowned slightly, "I have something to do. I need to answer the call."

Zhu Jin waved his hand without even raising his head.

Huo Jingcheng stood up and went to the compartment in the box.

Zhu Jin's eyes fell on the tablet screen, but his thoughts drifted away.

The man's attitude towards Huo Jingcheng just now was too intimate and too familiar.

Are these two people really not familiar with each other?

Zhu Jin tapped the screen twice with his fingertips without even noticing what he was tapping.

Could it be that Huo Jingcheng refused to cooperate because of me?

If so, am I not doing a disservice to his work?

Maybe I should have a good talk with him.

I don't care that much, I still have to let him put himself first in everything.

If it can help his career, then it's not impossible for both sides to cooperate.

"Huh? Why did you order so many servings of baked snails?" Huo Jingcheng's voice sounded beside him.

Zhu Jin paused, then he realized that he had ordered the same item on the menu several times while he was daydreaming.

"I was thinking about something just now and didn't pay attention." Zhu Jin hurriedly opened the menu, cancelled the dish, re-selected it and placed the order.

Huo Jingcheng was busy replying to Qiu Zi, asking him to negotiate the cooperation with the Fu family while keeping the cost and profit distribution within the points he gave.

On the screen, Qiu Zi’s avatar was jumping.

When I clicked on it, I saw the funny emoticons and a sentence he had just sent me.

[Qiu Zi: No, I can’t do this. Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo, please don’t give me what you can negotiate. If I can negotiate it, then I will be you.]

Huo Jingcheng didn't read it and just replied with a simple sentence.

[Huo Jingcheng: You can press as much as you can. As long as you can, if the points you win this time are higher than your last time, the profit will be 50% of yours.]

Although the points difference is only five, if the deal is really concluded, even 50% would be enough for Qiu Zi to not work for three years.

There is a frequent "typing" under Qiu Zi's profile picture.

But until Huo Jingcheng and Zhu Jin stopped looking at their phones after dinner, Qiu Zi was unable to send a message.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Jin asked, "Is there anything going on in the country?"

Huo Jingcheng helped her prepare the crab meat. "Well, let's talk about cooperation with the new company."

Zhu Jin suddenly thought of something, "If you and Helena are familiar with each other, since she is looking for a partner, why don't you consider letting your new company contact her?"

"Won't this expose us?"

Huo Jingcheng shook his head. "I don't want other people to know that this company has anything to do with me for the time being."

This is also why when Fu Shuyi came, Huo Jingcheng did not talk to her directly about cooperation, but led her to Qiu Zi.

This company has nothing to do with him at present.
