ughts of that car accident from years ago.Huo Yuan was not injured in order to save him.Instead, when the car was struck, he pulled Huo Yuan, who was sitting beside him, closer to shield himself.Howev...It turns out he had already left the Huo family and started his own business.

She walked past without changing her expression, "Mr. Lu."

Mr. Lu Jingmao is a polite and well-dressed gentleman wearing glasses without frames. He gestures with grace, "Ms. Fu, we've met before."

Such a conversation is rather unusual.

For a moment, Fu Yan felt suspicious that the other person might have come for her.

She feigned ignorance, "Hmm"

"Have you ever been to the interview for an internship position at Ho's company I was your interviewer, you may not remember me."

Ironically, Fu Yanji had a good memory and truly remembered him.

But she said lightly, “Forgive me, I didn't recognize Mr. Lu.”

Lu Jingmao smiled and said, "Ms. Fu, you are a person who is favored by many but forgets easily."

Fu Yan's heart skipped a beat. The other party was indeed coming for her. Song Qing霜 was just a stepping stone, the real target was — her.

"Mr. Lu speaks directly, I'm slow and can't understand roundabout ways."

Lu Jingmao's smile deepened, "I was quite impressed by your performance when I dealt with Miss. You are a true scholar. If you were stupid, there wouldn't be any real intelligence."

"Clearly, your resume and academic record at school are impressive, and we were very satisfied with your performance and demeanor. But in the end, you were rejected. Ms. Fu, wouldn't you like to know why"

Fu Yan was indeed upset at the time, but she wouldn't dwell on it too much. There were people better than her everywhere, and she was just an ordinary college student, insignificant among the masses.

"Mr. Lu made me beautiful, naturally there are people more excellent than me who are suitable for the position."

Lu Jingmao shook his head. “It was Mr. Huo himself who personally removed you.”

A crack appeared on Fu Yan's flawless face, and the smile at the corner of her mouth faded. "President Huo"

"Yes." Lu Jingmao poured her a cup of tea and held it out to her. However, Fu Yan didn't touch it. She had come alone and was wary of touching anything outside, especially something offered by a stranger, let alone putting it in her mouth.

The man saw her alertness and smiled faintly, not exposing her. “Back then, I was curious why the esteemed President Huo would pay attention to an intern. I did some digging in private and unexpectedly found something.”

He seemed to sigh with some regret, "I didn't expect that my curiosity would lead to the destruction of my career. Now that I think about it, the saying 'curiosity killed the cat' is truly a cautionary tale."

"But looking back now, it was also an opportunity. It made me want to start my own business and that's how I have the wealth I do today."

He instinctively felt that what he had found was related to her and Huo Mingzheng.

"Mr. Lu always speaks his mind."

"Ms. Fu is very agreeable, indeed a woman I admire," Lu Jing smiled with praise. "I didn't expect Ms. Fu to be Mr. Huo's confidante."

Fu Yan's face flushed, and Lu Jing made a pretentious remark, essentially saying she had slept with Huo Mingzheng.

"Miss Fu, there's no need to worry. In Nanshan City, no one dares to offend Mr. Huo, and I certainly don't dare either. The reason I invited you here is to ask you for a favor."

Fu Yan clenched her fingers, "I'm just an insignificant person, with no real abilities. I'm afraid I can't help Mr. Lu."

"Miss Fu, you are too humble. To be noticed by Mr. Huo, you must have your own special qualities. What I want Miss Fu to do is simply a small favor, and in return, your mother will be spared from jail. This deal is quite profitable, wouldn't you agree"

Even though she had mentally prepared herself, when the other party uttered those words, Fu Yan only felt a jolt of fear.

What can I do for you

Lu Jingmao leaned back on the sofa, "I want to talk business with Mr. Huo."'s only in a corner of the monitor and inconspicuous, it's hard to notice, let alone easily detect abnormalities in the elevator floor.Although the other party was meticulous, there was still a loopho...
