After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

After leaving the manor, even a thick-skinned person like Song Wenhu felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the car.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of Assistant Chen, looking inquiringly at him.

Assistant Chen shook his head, signaling him to drive carefully and not ask any more questions.

Having been with Huo Jingcheng for so many years, how could Assistant Chen not feel the depressing and suffocating atmosphere in the car?

Huo Jingcheng invested too much money and energy in this project.

But this time the foreign sanctions against the country are too fatal, which is almost equivalent to cutting off the overseas sales of this route.

Although the domestic market volume is also large, as a businessman, who would not want their own market to be bigger?

Economic globalization is becoming more and more serious. If we can only sell domestically, it will be very difficult to expand the market.

At this moment, Assistant Chen's cell phone rang. When he saw the words "Qiu Zi" on the screen, his forehead throbbed. He felt that the cell phone was a hot potato and he was not sure whether to give the phone to Huo Jingcheng.

"Give it to me." Huo Jingcheng said as he reached out to Assistant Chen, without even opening his eyes that were closed for rest.

Assistant Chen could only hand over the phone in his hand, "It's Mr. Qiu's call."

"Ah."

Huo Jingcheng pressed the answer button, and Qiu Zi's voice on the other end of the phone was urgent.

"Fu Shuyi is missing." Qiu Zi said.

Assistant Chen, who had already prepared for Qiu Zi to ask about the sanctions bill, was stunned when he heard what Qiu Zi said.

He looked towards Huo Jingcheng through the rearview mirror.

Huo Jingcheng opened his eyes and was obviously a little dazed.

"We had a good discussion about cooperation with her before and signed the contract, but she disappeared suddenly." Qiu Zi said, "I couldn't contact her yesterday, but she often turns off her phone to deal with things, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

Qiu Zi said, "It wasn't until today that I realized something was wrong. We had already arranged a meeting in half an hour. Logically, she should have come three hours in advance to inquire about the content of today's meeting. But until now, I haven't received any calls from Miss Fu Shuyi."

Huo Jingcheng pinched the soft flesh between his eyebrows.

Assistant Chen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, also frowned when he heard this.

If that's the case, then Fu Shuyi was kidnapped?

Isn't this just adding insult to injury?

"Send someone to the hotel where she stayed before to check if she is still staying there, and to confirm whether she left on her own or whether there is no trace of her after leaving the hotel."

"Secondly, if she disappeared after leaving, instead of calling the police, hire a private investigator to investigate first and find out what the situation is."

"Yes."

Qiu Zi didn't hang up the phone.

"The sanctions bill has only been proposed now. It will take a long time from proposal to confirmation and approval to formulation." Huo Jingcheng said calmly, "We still have a lot of time and energy to consider whether to continue or take a different path."

"But..." Qiu said cautiously, "Haven't we made a lot of preparations? If there is a temporary change..."

The unfinished words contain meaning that everyone can hear.

A temporary replacement would prove that all their previous preparations were in vain.

Huo Jingcheng and Qiu Zi’s current company will have to overturn all the preparations and cooperation they have made in the past, as well as the network of contacts they have expanded, and choose another path.

To be honest, Qiu Zi didn't really want this to happen.

"Let's talk later." Huo Jingcheng said calmly, "Go find someone first."

"Ah."

Qiu Zi didn't feel comfortable asking any more questions and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Assistant Chen made a suggestion, "Mr. Huo, why don't we consider the cooperation that Caris proposed earlier?"

In fact, many foreign forces hope to cooperate with Huo Jingcheng, and even many foreign families or investment banks have extended olive branches to Huo Jingcheng and his team.

However, Huo Jingcheng basically did not agree, and even after consideration, he put many people on the blacklist of people he would not consider cooperating with.

Many of these individuals or families seeking cooperation have more or less some unsuitability for investment banks to cooperate with.

Huo Jingcheng made this trip abroad specifically in the hope of getting in touch with Smith.

As a major foreign investment tycoon, Smith has a good reputation and there is no need to worry about funds being deliberately blocked.

However, Smith is also known to be cautious.

Before, the purpose was to get to know Huo Jingcheng, so neither of them had too much trouble in negotiating the cooperation.

Smith himself had read the proposal that Huo Jingcheng had sent earlier, and was also curious about this emerging industry. Naturally, he showed a strong intention to cooperate, but he did not choose to sign the contract at the first time.

Who knows, it happened so suddenly.

Sanctions bills proposed by foreign countries before they signed the cooperation.

This will not only make Smith back down, but will also cause other partners to demand increased dividends or choose other methods to ensure the safety of their property.

"Let's talk about it later." Huo Jingcheng did not approve of Qiu Zi's plan, but waved his hand casually, "Go back first."

"Yes."

Huo Jingcheng opened the live broadcast room on his tablet and happened to see Wu Ma quietly leaving the room. Zhu Jin was the only one broadcasting live in the entire studio.

Zhu Jin supported his head with one hand, staring at the picture in front of him with focused and serious eyes, as if he was looking at something.

Huo Jingcheng's fingertips stayed on the screen, hoping that he could touch the other person through the screen in the next second.

Unfortunately, this is just a thought.

There is still a long time left in the game and they have no way of meeting during this time.

and……

Huo Jingcheng's eyes fell on the contract beside him.

He had one more matter to attend to.

It would be best if he could deal with the trouble he was currently facing before Zhu Jin came back.

……

In the Huo family's study, Mr. Huo sat behind the desk with his eyes slightly narrowed.

The man sitting opposite him was wearing a suit, with his hands on his thighs, tightly grasping his suit trousers, looking a little embarrassed.

"Siyuan." Mr. Huo said, "You should know why I came to you, right?"

His calm tone, with its intimidating aura, overshadowed Lu Siyuan.

"My son-in-law is stupid and doesn't know. Dad, you might as well just tell me directly." Lu Siyuan said.

Old Master Huo snorted coldly, "Are you really unaware, or are you pretending to be ignorant? Don't play tricks on me. Your little tricks are really not enough."

Lu Siyuan touched his nose and didn't respond.

Before he came in, Huo Jingxiu had already reminded him to act well-behaved and sensible in front of Mr. Huo, and not to blurt out everything. It would be best if he was humble and respectful, so that he could win Mr. Huo's favor.
