Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Chapter 258 She Admires the Strong

After Tang Xiaqing finished her call with Mr. Gu, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if the burden on her shoulders had been lightened a little.

She gently placed her phone on the table, stood up, and walked to the French window in her office. Outside the window, the winter scenery looked particularly bleak.

The bare branches swayed gently in the cold wind, and the sky was gray, as if shrouded in a thin layer of mist.

She watched all this quietly, but her heart couldn't completely calm down.

Although Mr. Gu expressed his willingness to help over the phone, the matter had not yet been finalized. She didn't dare tell Huo Chenjun too early, for fear of false hope and she didn't want to let him suffer further disappointment.

"Wait a little longer," she whispered to herself.

At this time, Huo Chenjun was in a meeting in the conference room of the German branch.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn. The representative of the German partner had not yet given up on the anti-dumping duties, but said that the delivery of goods could be delayed for two months, otherwise a huge double penalty would be imposed.

Huo Chenjun's phone was on silent mode, so he didn't hear anything.

At the same time, Li Shengduo saw the news of the sale of Huo Ting Real Estate in China. Her heart tightened, realizing that the Huo Group was facing an unprecedented crisis.

Without hesitation, she immediately booked the next flight to Germany and decided to meet with Mr. Huo in person. When Li Shengduo arrived at the meeting room, Mr. Huo had just finished his meeting.

Li Shengduo followed Mr. Huo to his office.

After Huo Chenjun sat down, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Huo Chenjun's voice remained steady.

Li Shengduo stepped forward, her eyes affectionate and firm: "I saw the news about the sale of Huo Ting Real Estate, and I know you are in trouble now. I...I came here to tell you that I am willing to help you."

Huo Chenjun was slightly stunned, then shook his head: "This is the Huo Group's business, you don't have to get involved."

Li Shengduo took a deep breath, her tone filled with unquestionable determination: "I have convinced my father, and he is willing to invest to help the Huo Group overcome its difficulties. This way, you don't need to sell the Huo Group's assets. But there is one condition..." She paused, looking directly at Huo Chenjun, "You must marry me."

Huo Chenjun's brow furrowed even more. He was silent for a moment, then spoke calmly but firmly, "Ms. Li, I appreciate your kindness, but marriage is not a transaction. I can't agree to such conditions just because of financial constraints."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Li Shengduo's eyes, but she quickly regained her resolve. "Huo Chenjun, I know I'm already married to Tang Xiaqing, and I don't want to be the third party. I won't live with you right now, but I'm willing to wait. As long as you agree, the Huo Group will be able to weather this crisis. Would you rather watch the group go bankrupt than accept my help? If I sell Huo Ting Real Estate or Huo Yang Electronics, are you really willing to do so?"

Huo Chenjun was silent for a moment. He was really reluctant to sell either of the two companies, but there was no other way at the moment.

At this moment, Vice President Bo hurried in, his face solemn. He whispered in President Huo's ear, "President Huo, news just came from Germany that they've decided to maintain high anti-dumping duties. If we have problems with our cash flow, other projects may be affected, and even...maybe even lead to the bankruptcy of the group."

Huo Chenjun's face darkened instantly. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning slightly white, clearly trying to suppress his inner emotions. Seeing this, Vice President Bo whispered, "Mr. Huo, we need to make a decision quickly."

After Vice President Bo left, the office fell silent again.

Li Shengduo stepped forward, his tone soft but firm: "Mr. Huo, I'm the only one who can help you now. As long as you agree to my conditions, the Huo Group will be able to overcome the difficulties. You don't need to give me an answer right away, I can wait."

There was a hint of earnestness in her voice and deep admiration in her eyes.

In her eyes, Mr. Huo was not only a powerful leader in the business world, but also a man who captivated her heart. His work ability, business acumen, and even his handsome appearance all made her admire him.

Li Shengduo's family business also wants to develop further. In addition to the mainland market, they also want to go public in Hong Kong. Li Shengduo has been competing with her brother. She also took a fancy to Huo Chenjun's business ability over the years. If the Huo Group had not encountered a crisis this time, she felt that Huo Chenjun would not be willing to listen to her.

Li Shengduo tried to get closer to him, gently reaching out her hand from behind, wanting to hug him, resting her head on his shoulder, and feeling the warmth and security she had longed for.

However, just as her fingers were about to touch him, Mr. Huo suddenly turned around and pushed her away without hesitation.

His movements were decisive and decisive, without any hesitation, and his eyes were calm and determined.

"Mr. Li," Mr. Huo's voice was deep and powerful, carrying unquestionable authority. "I appreciate your kindness, but feelings and business are two different things. I won't use other people's feelings to solve problems."

After being pushed away, a trace of embarrassment and loss flashed across Li Shengduo's face, but she quickly adjusted her mood and forced a smile: "Mr. Huo, I'm sincere. I just want to help you, and I also want to... give myself a chance."

Mr. Huo's eyes remained calm, and his tone was a little distant: "Li Shengduo, I understand your feelings, but I can't accept it. As for love, I hope you can find someone who is truly right for you instead of wasting your time on me."

A glimmer of tears flashed in Li Shengduo's eyes, but she forced herself not to let the tears flow down.

He looked at Li Shengduo with a firm gaze: "Ms. Li, I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot agree to this. I will solve the Huo Group's problems in my own way."

"Do you have a solution for the funding plan now?"

"There is a preliminary plan, and it's still under negotiation." Mr. Huo responded.

Li Shengduo's eyes flashed with tears, but she quickly concealed her emotions and nodded gently, "I understand. However, I admire strong men, and there are not many men who can make my heart flutter. I'm going back to the hotel now, but my proposal still stands. If you change your mind, you can contact me anytime in the next few days. I believe that my proposal will be most beneficial to your Huo Group in terms of your career."

"Mr. Huo, I admire you for both business reasons, i.e. your business ability, and my personal emotional reasons." Li Shengduo said slowly before closing the door.

After saying that, Li Shengduo walked out of his office, leaving Huo Chenjun alone standing in front of the window, looking at the gray sky in the distance.

After Li Shengduo left, the office returned to silence.
