The Emperor of Hell's Green Plum Pillow She Escaped Again

There was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting the rare opportunity for honesty between the two.

Hei Huomian sighed softly, and it was hard to tell whether he was relieved or regretful because he missed a rare opportunity due to a moment of hesitation.

The secretary answered the door and said, "Chairman, the competition will start in ten minutes. You said before that you want to participate in the whole process..." The secretary observed the boss's expression and quietly left without waiting for him to speak.

Hei Huomian placed his hands on Bai Shuiru's arms and promised solemnly:

"I'll go judge the works first. Once you win the championship, we can talk about this in detail, okay?"

Bai Shuiru then realized the importance of the matter. Just as she was about to respond, Li You knocked on the office door again to remind her.

Baishui nodded quickly like lightning and subconsciously let go of his hand that was intertwined with Heihuomian's fingers, and raised it low as if letting go.

"Shui Ru, I..." Hei Huomian woke up and was about to sit back on the sofa and try to explain when he was interrupted by knock on the door again. He turned around and glared.

Li You pushed the door slightly open with the intention of giving a warning, but was immediately frightened away by Hei Huomian's terrifying gaze even through his sunglasses.

"I will definitely find a suitable time to explain everything to you in detail. Things are not what you think. They are really not..." Hei Huomian knelt on one knee on the sofa and raised his right hand as if swearing.

"I know." Bai Shui Rurou responded, but her smile quickly collapsed and broke when Hei Huomian's figure disappeared in her pupils.

Keep designing, Bai Shuiru!

Regardless of whether the work you create is recognized by others, it is your original work that you have worked hard on and represents your thoughts and ideas.

Bai Shuiru quickly left Hei Huomian's office, went downstairs and returned to her workstation.

Biting her lip, trying to focus on her work:

I will change it like this later, using orange agate to represent persimmons, which will definitely reflect the changes and harvest of the Frost Descent solar term.

As soon as Hei Huomian walked into the conference room, he announced loudly:

"To ensure the fairness of the competition, I will participate in the entire selection process, including the initial screening." He looked around at the judges, "Like you, I am seeing the works for the first time and do not know the identity of the authors, so there is no need for anyone to worry."

"In order to select more potential and creative employees for each department of the company, we have to work efficiently in the next five days, so try to relax yourself as much as possible." Hei Huomian took off his suit, unbuttoned his cuffs, rolled up his sleeves, sat down, and announced:

"let's start!"

I am very confident that Shuiru's work must be the most outstanding work in the jewelry design category.

And I, who share her mind, can certainly pick out her work.

A wide variety of design works were projected onto the screen one by one under the operation of the project deputy leader and host, and displayed in front of the senior executives.

With his rich experience and outstanding aesthetic sense, Hei Huomian can scan and judge a piece of work in no more than 5 seconds. "Pass, next one."

After such a high-intensity primary election, by 10:39, managers from all departments were already dizzy and exhausted.

Hei Huomian signaled everyone to take a break and have some tea, he rubbed his temples to relax, raised his eyes to take the hot tea handed to him by Li You, still signaling him to show the next category of works.

Han Shuli and a few workaholic managers accompanied the inspection while sipping coffee.

In just twenty minutes, he reviewed nearly thirty works.

Little brush, little brush, why hasn’t your work arrived yet?

It couldn't be that I skipped it, right?

Hei Huomian couldn't help being distracted when he thought of his sweetheart.

He was losing interest, his eyes dropping to the phone on the desktop, wanting to act coquettishly to his fiancée who hadn't contacted him or said a word all morning. But in an instant, his eyes alertly fixed on the projection screen, and finally, among the countless works, he touched the only special existence that could shock his soul.

A manager was chewing his favorite cake and was about to stand up to grab another piece when he accidentally walked in the opposite direction and crossed Heihuo Mian's face. He immediately spoke but swallowed hurriedly, which caused him to cough, successfully attracting the attention of everyone present.

Seeing that the 20-minute break was about to end, the managers simply returned to their seats while jokingly coughing at the manager and whispered to those around them about the review situation.

Hei Huomian remained calm as always, focusing all his attention on the work in front of him, even operating it himself and carefully checking every detail.

Hei Huomian was so focused that the other senior executives subconsciously put down their tea and returned to their seats early, staring at him silently and exchanging glances from time to time, trying to guess the "king's mind".

After reviewing the work, Hei Huomian took the freshly brewed hot tea, sipped it leisurely and ate a piece of dessert. He turned his head to look at Li You and asked him to brew more tea, then he announced calmly:

“It’s the champion in the jewelry design category.”

Everyone was stunned in surprise and expectation, and the room immediately became as silent as night.

Hei Huomian lowered his eyes and sniffed the aroma of the new tea. After almost half a minute, he pretended to be surprised as if he had realized something belatedly:

"Does anyone have any objections?"

"I object..." The coughing manager just trembled and stopped talking when he was met with the sharp gaze of Hei Huomian. He quickly searched for words to explain in his mind, "I, I mean, this design is too conservative and ordinary, and it is not worthy of the title of 'champion'."

The manager who had always stood by He Ting was no longer silent. "This design is indeed mediocre. Who knows where it was copied from. In the online literature world, there is a term called 'fusion of ideas'; in the design world, it is 'fusion of elements'."

"Yes, rings were developed more than 3,000 years ago when the nobles of the ancient Egyptian ruling class shrunk seals and carried them around with them, then made them into rings. There is nothing new about using the past for modern purposes."

"This designer's additional design is obviously more thoughtful than the main design. According to this line of thought, will he get used to doing things without distinguishing the important from the unimportant? Even if he wins the championship and joins our Mingxin, he will still try to do both things?"

The managers saw that although Hei Huomian remained silent, he did not speak again. He was usually cold and taciturn, and intimidating without getting angry, but he had never been angry or made any violent remarks. After exchanging glances with each other, they began to cautiously and tentatively express their opinions.

For a moment, the two factions expressed their own opinions and soon began to bring all the past grievances between them to the table.

He Ting glanced at Hei Huomian and saw that he was still calm and focused on sipping tea. He tapped the table with his fingers, and the noisy meeting room gradually quieted down after a few seconds.

The managers sat down one after another, some pulled their ties to calm down, and some gulped down half a cup of tea to cool down.

"Mr. Hei has a unique vision. He founded and led our Mingxin to become one of the top three companies in the world in just five years," He Ting said with a smile, "You announced this competition to the public, isn't it just to select the best talents for our Mingxin?" The implication was obvious:

It seems that he is selfless, fair and just, but in fact he abuses public resources for personal gain and favors his relatives.

"Mr. He is right," a manager's gaze wandered from He Ting to Hei Huomian's lips, "Mr. Hei, right?" He intentionally emphasized the pronunciation of "Hei", but did not dare to meet the latter's gaze. He treated the two group executives as if they had the same homophonic surnames and went with the flow.

"Why don't you take a break and look at more works, or go back and look at the works that were skipped by other judges before they could compare them carefully?"

The work of the new artist that He Ting strongly supported was "randomly" placed first among the judges, but it was rejected by Hei Huo Mian in seconds. Naturally, he had to seize the opportunity to bring it up again.

Hei Huomian did not deny it, but still sipped a cup of tea leisurely. He turned to look at Li You and gestured for him to brew a new pot.

At first, the senior executives were unsure of Hei Huomian's intentions and exchanged views with each other.

The atmosphere in the conference room instantly dropped to freezing point.

He Ting knocked on the table and smiled slyly, then kicked the ball to Han Shuli, "Director Han, your opinion is the most professional."

The managers of Hei Huo Mian's faction couldn't help but look at each other and laugh secretly:

Han Shuli was hired to Ming·Xin by Hei Huo Mian after three visits to his cottage and a huge sum of money. Even without mentioning this favor, Han Shuli had always praised Hei Huo Mian's style of doing things and being a person. It was not a one-day thing that had displeased him. It was absolutely impossible for him to cast a vote against him and offend his mentor, especially in front of the senior executives and his rival He Ting.

Just when everyone thought that Han Shuli, who always kept to herself, would ignore He Ting, she heard her cold mezzo-soprano voice floating over:

"The red lines on the ring are enhanced by the transparent enamel, which makes the metal part of the ring more subtle and makes the floral decoration of the whole piece seem a bit too complicated and distracts from the main theme. It would be simpler to use champlevé enamel. It shows that the designer's basic knowledge is not solid."

"Yes, this is a professional selection." He Ting took over the conversation, raised his eyebrows with a smile and looked lightly at the chief seat, "Chairman, the opinions of professionals are professional...", but his words stopped abruptly when he met Hei Huomian's seemingly casual gaze.

Hei Huomian’s gaze steadily shifted to Li You’s face beside him, “Next itinerary…”

"Meet with Mr. Wu from Jinhe Technology in twenty minutes."

Hei Huomian stood up and buttoned his suit, his eyes already scanning everyone present, "Did you write down what I just said?" His warning gaze lingered on He Ting's face for a moment before finally settling on the deputy project leader and host.

"I've got it. " The deputy project leader hurriedly stood up and sat down again, quickly tapping on the keyboard to take notes.

Hei Huomian turned and left, leaving a group of senior executives standing there in panic.

As the founder and chairman of Mingxin Group, his words are always final and no one is allowed to dispute them, let alone disobey them.

He Tinggong tapped the table with his fingers and was about to speak when Hei Huomian spoke first.

"By the way, Mr. He." Hei Huomian turned around gracefully, "Your Zuo Ling is applying for listing recently, right?"

He Ting suddenly clenched his fists and quickly put them under the table, smiling and saying:

"Thank you Mr. Hei for your concern. There are so many debt collectors at home that it's hard for me to retire~!"

Hei Huomian curled his lips, revealing a vaguely meaningful smile, then turned and left.

"Boss, are you so sure that the work you approved is Miss Bai's?" Li You quickly caught up with Hei Huomian, "What if...what if?"

"I know her." Hei Huomian responded firmly and strode into the special elevator, "That is definitely her work." I can feel her thoughts from her works.

"Li You." Before starting the car, Hei Huomian looked at his phone, which still hadn't received Bai Shuiru's message, and covered up his disappointment with indifference, and instructed:

"Although it is said that we should first capture the leader of the gang, but if we want to eradicate the evil completely, we should make plans early."

Li You thought for a moment and nodded quickly:

"The secret guards and I have been collecting evidence according to the boss's instructions. Please rest assured!"

In the meeting room, He Ting spread his hands and smiled at the rest of the people, "I see that everyone has worked hard, let's take a break and have lunch early in the morning, and continue in the afternoon."

Han Shuli and Hei Huomian's senior executives stood up and left one after another. The remaining two or three senior executives promoted by He Ting couldn't help but worry, "Mr. He, Hei Huomian is determined to support his little lover, what about the lady's work..."

He Ting raised his hand to signal for silence, and used his eyes to signal the other party to pay attention to the surveillance wall and ears. He walked out of the meeting room as if nothing had happened, "Today is only the first day of the primary election, there is no rush."

He Ting suddenly realized something, his pupils shrank slightly, and he stood up stiffly:

The last question from Hei Huo Mian, did he find out some information and want to do something to me? !

He Ting walked out of the conference room calmly. As soon as he returned to his office, he quickly locked the door and dialed a number. His low voice could not hide a hint of uneasiness:

"Keep an eye on those girls. Zuo Ling is going through the listing process, and there can't be any mistakes."

The person on the other end of the phone still seemed nonchalant, and He Ting immediately said in a low voice:

"Of course I know that as the chairman, my involvement in the case will not affect the company's listing, but it will affect investors' expectations. You know that we set up this company just to launder money!"

"The most important thing is that the girl who died on my bed secretly recorded part of my evidence. What a pity, she was my favorite..."

He Ting, whose face was filled with evil, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He shivered and hurriedly hung up the phone, turned off the lights and lowered all the curtains. He used the camera function on his phone to scan the room, trying to find a vacuum camera.

He Ting searched around and found nothing unusual, so he breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the leather chair to catch his breath.

Secret Guard Seven and Secret Guard Three looked at each other, ended the live broadcast of He Ting's "confession", and left each other's office.

He Ting is over fifty years old. Instead of exercising, he goes around looking for women. He was so tired after just walking a few steps and answering the phone that he was out of breath. He didn't even have time to sit on the leather chair, but sat down on the luxurious hand-woven carpet and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He Ting panted for more than ten minutes before gradually recovering. He struggled to get up and was reaching for the teacup on the table when he suddenly remembered something. His body shook violently and he fell back to the ground, not even bothering to cry out in pain:

Hei Huomian, Hei Huomian is so cunning!

He just used the excuse of promoting his mistress to secretly stir up a dispute between him and me, and then secretly observed and distinguished between the enemy and us.

What if I settled the dispute between the two parties? In the end, it was not as good as Hei Huomian's casual final decision, which stated:

From beginning to end, in the Mingxin Group, only Heihuo Mian’s words count, and he is the only unshakable ruler.

Hei Huomian, you won’t always be successful!

Going back to the manor, the aroma of the rich food in the back garden is fragrant and rich.

Bai Shuiru chewed the meat in her mouth and lazily flipped the skewers in the oven.
