Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

At the land auction, the luxurious auction hall was ablaze with lights and bustling with activity. Business elites from all walks of life gathered in a heated and tense atmosphere. Today's focus was the auction of the land belonging to the Shibei Second Textile Factory.

Mr. Huo, dressed in a finely tailored suit, sat in the front row with an air of dignity, his eyes sharp and penetrating, as if he had already seen through everything. Beside him were his secretary, Su Xianyun, and the company's vice president, Bo Lizhan.

In another row of seats, Zhou Mufeng also had a focused expression. As the president of Zhou Group, he heard that Huo Group was very interested in this piece of land, so he was determined to get this piece of land and wanted to take this opportunity to make a big splash in the real estate field.

The auctioneer walked onto the stage and announced in a resounding voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, the bidding for the land of the Shibei Second Textile Factory is now open! The starting price is 8 million yuan, and each increment must not be less than 500 million yuan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an entrepreneur took the lead in raising his sign: "8.5 million!"

Zhou Mufeng nodded slightly and then raised his sign: "9 million!"

The bidding intensified, and the price soared. However, Mr. Huo sat quietly, observing the situation.

When the price reached 10 billion, the pace of bidding slowed slightly, and some people began to hesitate. Zhou Mufeng looked around, his eyes revealing a hint of confidence, as if he felt he had a sure win.

At this moment, President Huo asked Su Xianyun to raise the sign in her hand: "12 billion!"

This action shocked everyone present, and the originally calm scene suddenly became lively again.

Zhou Mufeng frowned and raised his sign again, not wanting to be outdone: "15 billion!"

A cold light flashed in Mr. Huo's eyes, and he remained silent.

The auctioneer banged the hammer three times in a row and announced loudly: "15 billion once! 15 billion twice! 15 billion three times! Deal! Congratulations to Zhou Mufeng for winning the bid for the Shibei Second Textile Factory!"

Zhou Mufeng sat down feeling relieved but a little tired, but he had a vague feeling of unease in his heart.

That evening, the atmosphere in the Zhou Group's boardroom was tense and depressing.

Zhou Mufeng sat in the first seat with a pale face.

"Dear directors, although it costs a huge amount to buy this land, I believe that with our strength and planning, we can definitely turn it into a successful real estate project." Zhou Mufeng tried to convince everyone.

A director frowned and asked, "Mr. Zhou, regarding the pollution problem of this land, do you have a detailed solution? As far as I know, the cost of pollution control for this land is probably difficult to estimate."

Zhou Mufeng was speechless for a moment. He had only seen the geographical advantages of the land and the Huo Group's desire to compete for it, but ignored the seriousness of the pollution problem.

Another director said sternly, "Mr. Zhou, your blind bidding this time has caused the group to pay such a huge price, and the subsequent risks are unpredictable. After discussion, the board of directors believes that you are no longer suitable for the position of president."

Before, everyone was already very dissatisfied with Zhou Mufeng's management, but for the sake of Mr. Zhou's face, they all endured it. This time, they exploded.

That night, the news that Zhou Mufeng was asked to resign as president became a hot topic.

Night falls over the city and the lights come on.

Tang Xiaqing returned home after a busy day when she saw a piece of financial news that Zhou Mufeng, president of Zhou Group, had been ordered by the board of directors to resign from his position as president due to the high price he paid for the land of the severely polluting Shibei No. 2 Textile Factory.

Tang Xiaqing was slightly startled, and remembered that Huo Chenjun said that he would solve the trouble with Zhou Mufeng, and perhaps it was related to him.

Not long after, Huo Chenjun returned home and Tang Xiaqing pulled him into the bedroom.

Tang Xiaqing spoke first and said, "Brother, I followed your suggestion today to expand the supplier list and signed a procurement framework agreement with Mr. Shen from Hainuo Group."

Huo Chenjun nodded: "Not bad." His tone was full of encouragement.

Then, Tang Xiaqing thought of the news she had just seen, her eyes filled with confusion and surprise. "I just saw the news that Zhou Mufeng had such a big setback because of that piece of land. Can you tell me what happened? Were you involved behind the scenes?"

Mr. Huo leaned back, his expression calm, and he said meaningfully, "Do you still remember that Zhou Mufeng used all means to harm Tanghai Group?"

Tang Xiaqing was stunned for a moment, a trace of anger flashing in her eyes: "Of course I remember! His methods at that time were so insidious, I really hate him. He caused my father to be admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment. If it weren't for you..."

Mr. Huo nodded slightly and continued, "So, this land auction is a perfect opportunity. Zhou Mufeng is eager to expand his territory and is determined to acquire this piece of land. After all, it has a great geographical location."

Tang Xiaqing was so engrossed in listening that she couldn't help but move closer and asked curiously, "Then what?"

President Huo's lips curled up slightly. "At the auction, I arranged for someone to raise the price at the right time to constantly stimulate his competitive spirit. Zhou Mufeng is conceited and greedy, and he couldn't hold his temper at all. In the end, he bought the hot potato for a whopping 15 billion. Moreover, this matter is not over yet. I have further arrangements."

"If he doesn't fall for it, will you end up buying the land at a high price?" Tang Xiaqing asked.

"I have a backup plan."

"What plan?" Tang Xiaqing asked.

"Little princess, why do you want to know everything? There are some things that it's better for you not to know. Besides, his mistake in buying land this time is not enough to defeat him." Huo Chenjun said slowly.

"Did you do something else that I don't know about?"

Huo Chenjun nodded: "To attack this kind of opponent, you need to be ruthless. Don't give him a chance to breathe, otherwise he will retaliate in the future."

"Is there any risk in doing this for me?" Tang Xiaqing bit her lower lip slightly, her eyes revealing a trace of worry that was hard to conceal.

Her eyes wandered over Huo Chenjun's face, trying to find an answer from him that would reassure her.

Huo Chenjun's eyes became soft and deep. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently stroked Tang Xiaqing's cheek. "In the business world, any decision has risks." Huo Chenjun's voice was low and steady, with a convincing power.

"But some things are worth taking risks for. You are the reason that makes me willing to take risks." His eyes were fixed on Tang Xiaqing's.

Tang Xiaqing's eyes widened, her face filled with shock. "Brother, you're amazing. I really admire your strategy, and your confidentiality is so good that I knew almost nothing."

Mr. Huo said calmly and with a firm gaze, "The business world is like a battlefield. We must show no mercy or compassion to our enemies. Since Zhou Mufeng dared to attack your company, he must bear the consequences. By the way, I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."

Tang Xiaqing asked softly, "You really are not soft-hearted at all. You are so decisive in business battles. So, if we have a fight one day, will you be so cruel to me?"

Huo Chenjun loosened his smoky gray tie and asked, "What? Do you want to do something to let me down?"
