When Ning Meng arrived at the Huo Group, she saw that Fei Bai had parked his car and was entering the elevator.
She quickly followed him, but she was too late.
When she reached the office on the top floor from the underground parking lot, she saw a group of secretaries busy outside. She asked, "Did Fei Bai go in?"
Everyone was familiar with Ning Meng, so they did not hide anything from her. "Yes."
Nodding, Ning Meng walked to the door and pushed it open. Fei Bai was standing in front of Huo Beichen's desk, seemingly reporting something. When Ning Meng pushed the door open, she saw a flash of surprise on Huo Beichen's face. However, the moment he saw her, he returned to normal.
He quickly stood up and walked toward Ning Meng. "Why are you here?"
Ning Meng looked at Fei Bai. "I heard from Li Shiyao that Fei Bai had found the murderer, so I came to see who wanted to kill me."
She looked at Fei Bai when she said the last sentence.
Fei Bai was silent and glanced at Huo Beichen, but he did not say anything.
Huo Beichen opened his mouth. "He hasn't found it yet."
Ning Meng was stunned. "Huh?"
Huo Beichen looked down. "He only found out that the person who destroyed your car was a professional killer. He had received a large sum of money from his employer, but he hasn't found out who his employer is."
Ning Meng was in disbelief. "Fei Bai couldn't find out anything?"
It had been a week. As the world's top killer, Fei Bai could not find out anything?
Ning Meng did not think too much about it and frowned. "This person is really secretive. Who could it be? Cao Xuehua? "
She looked at Fei Bai.
Fei Bai shook his head. "Someone like Cao Xuehua would never come into contact with a killer of this level."
Ning Meng was speechless.
She did not know who it was. After all, she did not offend anyone, right? Or perhaps the original owner of the body had offended someone? Or was there someone who loved her but was rejected?
The more Ning Meng thought about it, the more terrified she felt. She stopped thinking about it and heard Huo Beichen say, "Meng Meng, don't worry. I promise this won't happen again."
Ning Meng nodded.
Huo Beichen looked at Fei Bai calmly with a hint of warning in his eyes. "Go back first."
"Yes."
Fei Bai glanced at Huo Beichen and left.
After he had left, Ning Meng sat on the sofa, feeling bored.
Seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something, Huo Beichen's eyes flickered a few times. He walked to her side and stroked her hair with his large hand. "Mengmeng, shall we have lunch together?"
Ning Meng nodded.
Just as the two of them were about to discuss what to eat, someone knocked on the door again. Qi Shan rushed in. "Boss, I heard that Fei Bai found out who it was?"
Huo Beichen frowned when he heard this.
Ning Meng spoke up for him. "We've only found the killer. We haven't found the employer yet."
Qi Shan was stunned. "Is Boss Fei Bai so incompetent? Do you need my help? "
Huo Beichen glanced at him coldly and interrupted him, "If you want to help, go find Fei Bai. What are you doing here?"
For some reason, Qi Shan felt that Boss's tone was a little harsh today, but he couldn't figure out why.
He scratched his head and handed over the document in his hand. "I'm here to sign it for you. Didn't we get this piece of real estate? Let me show you … "
After saying this, he placed the contract in front of Huo Beichen.
Ning Meng casually glanced at it and realized that it was a piece of land on the west side. It was very big, and the name of the land looked familiar — Western Suburbs.
Western Suburbs?
She frowned.
Had she seen these two words in the original book before?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Huo Beichen pick up a pen and was about to sign it. Ning Meng suddenly reacted and quickly reached out to stop Huo Beichen. "You can't sign this contract!"
Huo Beichen froze.
Qi Shan was also stunned. "Missus, what are you doing? We snatched this piece of land from a few competitors. We're at the last minute. If we don't sign it now, it will be snatched away by others! "
The Huo Group started from real estate. Although their biggest profit was not from real estate, real estate was still their foundation.
This project was the biggest one this year. Qi Shan was waiting for this project to draw a perfect ending to the year.
Ning Meng shook her head. "We can't buy this piece of land."
She remembered now.
In the original book, for some reason, the Huo Group did not appear in the book anymore. It was more low-key. Li Yichen, on the other hand, had entered the real estate industry.
In the original plot, Su Tiantian had run into trouble and Li Yichen had missed out on this piece of land. This was to show how much Li Yichen loved Su Tiantian. He was willing to give up money for her.
When Su Tiantian found out about this, she was very touched.
The author was definitely Su Tiantian and Li Yichen's biological mother. How could she let her son suffer like this? So, in the later part of the book, this piece of land that Li Yichen had missed had run into a lot of trouble. In the end, it had become a hot potato.
In the original book, when this news came out, the company's executives, who had always felt sorry for Li Yichen, changed their attitude toward Su Tiantian. All of them praised her as Li Yichen's lucky star.
Ning Meng had goosebumps when she thought of the disgusting description in the original book.
"Why can't we buy it? This piece of land is only selling for 300 million! It's the best piece of land this year! We were able to get it because our company is powerful enough. Missus, you don't know anything about real estate. Please don't mess around. This is not a small matter … "
Ning Meng shook her head firmly. "I really can't buy it."
"Then, tell me a reason why you can't buy it!"
That piece of land had already been inspected by professionals. There would not be any problem!
Ning Meng's mouth twitched and she rolled her eyes. The reason why that piece of land was not good was not written in the book. She did not remember it clearly. Where was she going to find a reason?
She coughed and slowly said, "I've calculated with my fingers. This piece of land is not good."
Qi Shan was speechless.
He was really pissed.
In the beginning, this missus was unreliable. She would flirt with other women every day. He did not like her. Later on, she had finally gotten over it and lived a good life with Boss. She hoped that Boss would be happy. With Zhen Shanmei's help, he reluctantly accepted her. What was she doing now?
He was exasperated. "This reason is not valid!"
Ning Meng thought for a while. "Then … this piece of land is incompatible with me. I don't like it? Is this reason valid? "
Qi Shan was speechless.
She was getting more and more ridiculous!
He looked at Huo Beichen. "Boss, look at her …"
Before he could finish his sentence, Huo Beichen calmly said, "Oh. Then, I won't buy it."
Qi Shan was speechless.
