After Being Betrayed, I Inherited A Massive Fortune-Chapter 219 - Nothing Personal

“What’s going on?” Yun Qing put down the document, stared at Huo Chuan and asked.

Huo Chuan hid nothing and said bluntly, “This project has been transferred to me.”

“You deliberately targeted Sun Chen?” Yun Qing could only assume so. After all, just two days ago, Huo Chuan and Sun Chen had a direct conflict.

Huo Chuan did not deny it. “There was no deliberate targeting involved. This is just a business maneuver.”

Yun Qing frowned. “Huo Chuan, you are despicable.”

Huo Chuan was unhappy when he saw Yun Qing defending Sun Chen. “Do you like that man so much?”

“It has nothing to do with you!”

Yun Qing did not expect Huo Chuan to attack Sun Chen with the full might of the Huo Corporation. She felt guilty toward Sun Chen. If it were not for her, this project would have been in Sun Chen’s hands. Now that Huo Chuan had obtained this project through some unknown means, Sun Chen would definitely suffer a loss.

“Is there a problem with cooperating with me on this project?” Huo Chuan saw Yun Qing’s furious expression and felt even more displeased. “I can give you more than what Sun Chen can give you!”

“I don’t need it!” Yun Qing rejected Huo Chuan directly. “Do you think I’m cooperating because of profits? I care about my partner.”

In order to allow Yun Qing to obtain greater benefits, Huo Chuan changed the previous split to 70% for Yun Qing and 30% for him. However, Yun Qing took no notice of that.

“Yun Qing, stop treating the business world like your own home.” Huo Chuan begrudgingly advised her.

Yun Qing sneered, “The business world was never my home, but look at the pot calling the kettle black, would you?

“Just to take revenge on Sun Chen, you snatched his hard-earned project and gave it to me without considering the benefits. Thinking about it, that gets as unbusinesslike as a man streaking naked in his own home, right?”

Yun Qing’s words drove Huo Chuan speechless.

He did not know what was wrong with him. In the past, he would not compromise on what he stood to gain and never asked others to work with him. Only Yun Qing could make him lower himself again and again.

“Yun Qing, this cooperation belongs to you. Now that you’re working with me, there won’t be any harm,” Huo Chuan softened his tone and advised her nicely.

He wanted Yun Qing to know that he really wanted to treat her well.

However, Huo Chuan did not know that from the moment he took the project from Sun Chen, Yun Qing would outright shoot him down.

“I think it’s better to forget about it.” Yun Qing turned him down without hesitation. “I don’t want to cooperate with you on a project that you snatched from someone else. President Huo, please go back. You can find another partner. This way, the Huo Corporation will be able to obtain even greater benefits.”

Yun Qing’s tone was full of sarcasm. Huo Chuan clenched his fists, but he knew that if he forced Yun Qing any further, he would only push her further and further away.

“Yun Qing, I hope that you will give it more thought.” Huo Chuan gritted his teeth and only left Yun Qing’s office after those parting words.

Li Yi was waiting for Huo Chuan outside. When he saw the dark clouds on his face, he knew that his boss had failed to negotiate.

“Let’s go,” Huo Chuan said coldly. Li Yi quickly followed and left with Huo Chuan.

Just as Huo Chuan left, Yun Qing immediately dialed Sun Chen’s number.

“Hello? Yun Qing?” Sun Chen’s gentle voice quickly came from the other end of the phone.

Yun Qing thought about Huo Chuan’s matter and immediately apologized to Sun Chen, “I learned about Huo Chuan snatching that project away. I’m very sorry. If it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t have snatched that project away from you...” 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

When Sun Chen heard that, he quickly comforted her, “It’s not your fault. It’s not the first time this has happened. That project is indeed very good. It’s normal for Huo Chuan to want it. He offered a higher price than me, so the other party still broke the contract and gave the project to him.

“Don’t blame yourself.”

Sun Chen’s understanding and gentleness gave Yun Qing a good impression of him. However, no matter what, Yun Qing still felt that this matter was related to her, so she said, “Why don’t I treat you to a meal?”

“You can eat, but you don’t have to treat me,” Sun Chen said with a smile.

“If you don’t let me treat you, I won’t eat with you,” Yun Qing said, trying to make up for it.

Sun Chen could only agree.
