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

"Yes."

Huo Jingcheng's slender fingers slid across the tablet screen, quickly scanning the emails and content submitted to the mailbox in the past few days, and finally stopped at the content sent by General Manager Zhao.

The fact that he had gone abroad to accompany Zhu Jin to participate in the competition was not hidden from other members of the Huo family, and even many of the company's senior executives knew about it.

Maybe his absence from the company gave others the opportunity to indulge in some undesirable ideas.

The bedbugs and rats that had been hiding in the dark crawled out, trying to covet the things that they could not get on a normal day.

Assistant Chen felt that the atmosphere around him suddenly turned cold, and the air seemed to be stagnant at this moment. He didn't dare to breathe and lowered his head.

The whole room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. At this moment, the only sound that could be heard was the monotonous sound of fingers tapping the screen.

"Let Zhao Zeping do whatever he needs to do. Don't worry about it." Huo Jingcheng said in a cold tone, "And don't give in to the face of those people."

"Yes."

Huo Jingcheng waved his hand and Assistant Chen retreated.

His cold gaze was still fixed on the tablet.

This is also a good opportunity. It would be best to take advantage of this opportunity to catch those people in one fell swoop.

Huo, he does not intend to give up the interests that originally belonged to him.

This trip was also to better return to the Huo family after returning home.

……

That night.

The darkness can cover up all the blood and sin.

The dim light in the study made it difficult to see the man's face hidden in the shadows behind the desk.

"Recently, there have been a lot of new people placed within the group, all of whom are relatives of different people. Should we arrange for them?"

The man behind the desk shook his head, "Wait a little longer."

"Waiting for what?" the man asked in confusion.

For him, this was a great opportunity, and he didn't understand why the other party was hesitating.

"Wait someone."

"Do you suspect Huo Jingcheng still has a backup plan?"

The man who asked the question sneered, "Don't think about it. He's obviously been bewitched by that woman, and now he doesn't use his brain when he does things. Oh, if it was before, how could he go abroad without any arrangements? Isn't he afraid that when he comes back, the whole group will be turned upside down."

The man behind the desk frowned and remained silent.

"You're not really still afraid of him, are you?" the man said contemptuously. "If you ask me, this guy would be useless if he got emotional. The only marketing manager in the group who stood on his side resigned. Who in the entire group's senior management is still on his side? The one in the design department? Zhao Zeping, he's a fence-sitter. He'll side with whoever gives him the most."

"If you ask me, now is the best opportunity. Don't hesitate!" The man raised his chin. "Don't say I didn't warn you when everyone has already divided up the land."

"No." The man behind the desk said in a steady voice, "We'll talk about this later. If they want to divide the business, let them do it. It has nothing to do with us."

"Tsk, I think you are becoming more and more timid."

After saying this, the two parted unhappily.

The man who made the suggestion turned and left, slamming the study door.

The man's eyes and brows behind the desk were still hidden in the darkness, not revealing anything in the light.

He didn't think now was the best time to take action.

He also didn't think that Huo Jingcheng would be so obsessed with love that he would act without thinking.

All this seems more like a trap set by someone deliberately.

The man put tempting bait on the trap, luring countless prey who thought they were hunters to fight for it.

The preys were enjoying their feast, thinking they had divided up each other's stuff, until they fell into the trap with a loud bang, and then they became aware of it.

And he must be the oriole behind the scenes.

……

The preliminary selection places are announced directly on the official website of the Hibiscus Awards.

When the preliminary round candidates were announced, Zhu Jinzheng and Huo Jingcheng were sitting in the cafe downstairs of the hotel, drinking coffee and reading in the sunshine.

Many contestants around exclaimed when they learned that the list was announced.

"Hurry up, go to the official website and check it out. If I'm selected, our boss said he'd give me a raise."

"Why is the network still stuck? I've been trying for a long time but can't get through."

"In half an hour, the authorities will hold a press conference and make the announcement publicly, right? Wouldn't it be fine to check it out then?"

"Can you bear to read the list so late? I can't bear it at all! I'm so anxious. If I don't pass, I have to book a flight back home in advance."

Assistant Chen glanced at the message he had just received, and before he could say anything, a figure sat down in front of him.

Huo Anan crossed her arms over her chest and raised her chin slightly, "Why don't you check it out? Aren't you afraid that you won't be selected?"

"Don't worry." Zhu Jin replied.

She was very confident in her design this time and thought it would be more than enough to pass the preliminary round.

"Humph." Huo Anan snorted coldly, "You'd better be selected. If you are eliminated before the semi-finals, you may not be the chief designer when you return to Huo's Group."

After all, although the Huo Group had never won the championship in previous competitions, they had basically made it to the finals, or at least the semi-finals.

If Zhu Jin doesn't even make it to the semi-finals, he will become a laughing stock of the entire Huo Group and it will also bring shame to the Huo Group.

"How to talk."

A man's low, cold voice came from not far away.

Huo Anan, who had not even looked at Zhu Jin, trembled when she heard the voice and her back subconsciously stiffened.

"The Huo family's upbringing teaches you to disrespect your elders?"

Another extremely oppressive word made Huo Anan purse her lips tightly.

"Apologize."

The calm tone did not show any sign of anger, but the sense of oppression it brought to people was greater than the others.

"I, I just care about her." Huo Anan said, "Besides, what I said is not wrong. If she really doesn't make it to the semi-finals, it will only bring shame to our Huo family!"

When saying this, Huo Anan didn't dare to look at Huo Jingcheng at all, but said to herself, "She can now sit in this position in the Huo Group, it's all because of you helping her! Helping her sit in a position that doesn't belong to her, or even a position she doesn't deserve to sit in, she will only fall even harder!"

"I am also considering the Huo family."

With every word spoken, the air pressure around you drops a degree.

People around can clearly notice something strange here.

Originally, everyone was discussing the shortlisted candidates lively, but now there was complete silence.

"I..." Huo Anan wanted to say something else, but when she met Huo Jingcheng's calm eyes, she swallowed her saliva and swallowed the words along with it.

She didn't know why, but she felt that if she continued talking, nothing good would come of it.

"Miss An An, you worry too much."

"The second wife was selected, and she has the highest score this time."

Assistant Chen clicked on the message he had received earlier and placed it in front of Huo Anan.
