Chapter 1066 I'll stay with you
Jiang Manman looked at Huo Yanchen over there. So it was because of the project?
Jiang Manman felt as if a thorn had been stuck in her heart, causing her indescribable discomfort.
She said, "Thank you all for your hard work today. You probably don't have any more collaborations to discuss, right?"
Those people said, "No, that's not available."
Jiang Manman said, "It's getting late, why don't you go back and rest? Leave Huo Yanchen to me, I'll take him home safely."
"You?" Everyone else looked at Jiang Manman in surprise, highly suspicious of this woman who had suddenly appeared.
President Huo's mood is unpredictable, and he's currently angry. If this woman offends him, she might be strangled to death by him.
"Young lady, who are you? I advise you to go back." The people kindly advised.
Jiang Manman said, "I am Huo Yanchen's friend. Don't worry, I will definitely send Huo Yanchen back safely."
Mr. Huo doesn't have many friends.
These people were all high-ranking executives at Huo Yanchen's company and hadn't seen Jiang Manman much.
But as they were talking, Jiang Manman had already walked up to Huo Yanchen. Seeing that Huo Yanchen was still drinking, she boldly walked up to him, reached out, and snatched the bottle from his hand.
"Stop drinking, Huo Yanchen, it's time to go home."
The girl's voice sounded so soft, clear and pure, like a spring.
If you were to provoke Huo Yanchen at this time, you'd probably get punched away.
Everyone else took a deep breath, thinking that this young girl was really reckless, and they all thought that if President Huo lost his temper later, they could go up and help pull him down.
However, Huo Yanchen did not show the fury they expected. Instead, he simply looked at Jiang Manman and said, "Didn't I tell you to leave?"
"I already told you I wasn't going out. You've already had a lot to drink. Let me take you home."
Jiang Manman tried to help Huo Yanchen, but Huo Yanchen pushed her away.
They started doing it; everyone around gasped, ready to step in and stop them at any moment.
However, Huo Yanchen only gave Jiang Manman a light push, and that was the end of it.
The push was very light, without any force, and it wasn't the kind of push that sent Jiang Manman flying eight meters away.
"What right do you have to be here?" Huo Yanchen asked coldly.
His eyes were icy cold, exuding an aura that kept people at arm's length.
Jiang Manman said, "It's just a project. If you lose it, you lose it. The next project will be better. You're so capable, you can definitely negotiate more projects. And the other party will definitely regret not cooperating with you. It's their loss."
She stood next to Huo Yanchen again, looking at him with concern: "If you really think that project is important and you really want it, then why don't you tell me about the other party, and I'll talk to them for you?"
Huo Yanchen: "..."
How can there be such a naive person?
He didn't care about projects or anything like that at all.
He didn't know what the intense pain he was feeling at that moment was. He was trying to control his emotions, so he was just drinking alone because of his frustration. But Huo Yanchen didn't expect Jiang Manman to appear.
He always pushed him away so forcefully, and he genuinely felt that Jiang Manman and those people her age were the most suitable.
But Jiang Manman always appeared in his world in a daze and ignorance. He never thought she would appear, how could she know he was here?
"No need!" Huo Yanchen's tone carried an indescribable emotion.
Jiang Manman could understand; it was the other party who had taken an inch first, so it was normal for Huo Yanchen not to want to cooperate with them anymore.
What kind of company and project is this? If it's really that good, Jiang Manman suddenly wants to help Huo Yanchen, after all, Huo Yanchen has helped her so much already.
If only she could do the same project, she could collaborate with Huo Yanchen. She would never ask for an exorbitant price or choose other partners, and Huo Yanchen wouldn't be angry!
As Jiang Manman thought about it, she felt it was increasingly feasible. She would do it when she got back and research the other party's project.
But now...
Seeing that Huo Yanchen had no intention of leaving, Jiang Manman simply sat down beside him: "If you want to drink, then I'll drink with you."
Jiang Manman also poured herself a glass and then drank half of it.
So spicy!
This liquor is so strong, it feels like needles are pricking my throat.
After drinking it, Jiang Manman noticed the people watching her intently from a distance. Her eyes flickered, and she said, "Hmm? Aren't you going back? I can handle things here. You can all go back and rest."
Those people realized that President Huo really didn't seem to be angry with this woman. Although Huo Yanchen's expression was still as unpleasant as ever, they had followed Huo Yanchen for many years, and anyone could see that President Huo was extremely indulgent towards this woman.
It's as if she can do whatever she wants, and he just spoils her like that; when he's angry, he's not really angry.
Then those people said, "Okay, we'll be going now. Mr. Huo's driver is downstairs."
Jiang Manman nodded: "Yes, I know the driver."
They even recognize Mr. Huo's driver; it seems this isn't the first time they've ridden in Mr. Huo's car.
After everyone else left, the private room was soon left with only Jiang Manman and Huo Yanchen, and it suddenly became much quieter and more deserted.
Jiang Manman stopped trying to persuade Huo Yanchen to stop drinking. She knew that when people are unhappy, they might want to drink to numb themselves.
So Jiang Manman handed the wine directly to Huo Yanchen and said, "Huo Yanchen, come on, let's drink. I'll drink with you!"
"Cheers!" Jiang Manman clinked glasses with Huo Yanchen, then felt uncomfortable sitting on the sofa, so she simply sat on the floor, right next to Huo Yanchen's feet, with her legs crossed, which felt just right for her height from the coffee table.
Jiang Manman also said, "If you have anything that makes you unhappy, you can tell me. Humans are animals that need to express their emotions. It's good to talk about many unhappy things. Don't drink alone here. If you feel it's inconvenient to talk to others because you think it will damage your image as President Huo, you can tell me. Anyway, I've seen what you're like, and I won't laugh at you."
Jiang Manman rested her chin on her hand, then looked up at Huo Yanchen.
Huo Yanchen sat there, backlit, his features as three-dimensional as a sculpture, with a high nose bridge and sexy thin lips, he was handsome no matter how you looked at him.
Her heart was pounding faster and faster, as if every time she saw him, it was a moment of excitement for Jiang Manman.
It's so easy to like someone, but it's so hard to make that person like you back.
Huo Yanchen was also looking at Jiang Manman, but because of the lighting, Huo Yanchen's dark eyes were completely black, and Jiang Manman did not see the restraint hidden in his eyes.
