Chapter 1882: Huo Ze and Xia Tang (86)


Bai Tong quickly turned on the computer on his desk.


She took out a piece of high-tech technology that Huo Jie had recently developed from her bag.


Very quickly, Bai Tong had stolen the confidential files on the computer.


When Bai Tong heard the sound of footsteps coming from the lounge connected to the office, she quickly turned off the computer and sat back down on the sofa.


After a while, Huo Heng came out.


He changed into a new s.h.i.+rt. The exquisite fabric wrapped around his smooth lines, making him look handsome and tall.


Bai Tong pretended to take a nap and slowly opened her beautiful eyes. “Young Master Huo, it’s getting late. My manager just called me. I have to catch the plane tomorrow morning, so I’m going back first!”


Huo Heng smirked. “I’ll drive you.”


“No need, my manager is here to pick me up.”


Huo Heng didn’t force her and sent her to the elevator. After she left, he returned to his office.


He glanced at his desk.


The mouse had been moved slightly.


He touched the computer again. It was still warm.


He narrowed his eyes slightly and his lips curled up into a meaningful smile.



Three days later.


Huo Heng headed to the auction venue.


The piece of land that he and Huo Third Master were working on was called the E20 project.


That was also a piece of land that Grandpa Huo wanted. If he could complete the E20 project, he would be able to gain Grandpa Huo’s favor.


Huo Third Master’s position in the Huo family would be even more stable. If Fourth Master Huo successfully won the bid, he might replace him.


The Huo Family members were all secretly working hard.


Huo Third Master had been overseas for the past two days, and he had asked Huo Heng to take charge of this project.


Huo Heng met Fourth Master Huo and Huo Jie at the auction.


Huo Jie looked at Huo Heng and smiled meaningfully.


The bidding began.


Everyone handed in the sealed doc.u.ments and waited for the results.


After waiting for almost two hours, the bidding results were out.


Fourth Master Huo had won the E20 project.


Huo Jie glanced at Huo Heng and gave him the middle finger.


Huo Heng’s handsome face darkened and he ignored Huo Jie.


After leaving the venue, Huo Heng called Huo Third Master.


Huo Jie called for his men to follow quietly.


Not long after, Huo Jie’s men came over to report to him. “Young Master Jie, you guessed right. Huo Heng should have been scolded badly by Third Master. He looks very depressed now.”


Huo Jie smirked.


A brat from Yan City wanted to fight with him?


This time, he would make him suffer a huge setback and make Third Master lose his status in the Huo Family!



Huo Third Master rushed back from abroad overnight.


Old Master Huo called him and Fourth Master Huo to the study.


“Third Brother, I’m not very satisfied with your recent performance. However, Fourth Brother has exceeded my expectations and impressed me.” Old Master Huo stood up from the leather chair and held Fourth Master Huo’s hand. “Fourth Brother, the E20 project was something I wanted to develop when I was young. You must not disappoint me.”


“Don’t worry, Father”


Because Old Master Huo valued the E20 project, he gave Fourth Master Huo many privileges.


The higher-ups of the Huo Corporation were all smart people. Many people saw how much Fourth Master Huo was valued, and they also sided with him.


The tides had suddenly changed.



Over at Star King Entertainment.


Something big had also happened.


Not only did Bai Tong propose to terminate her contract, but she also brought several artistes who were willing to follow her to another new entertainment agency.


That agency was called Starlight Entertainment, and it was newly opened by Huo Jie.


As for the artistes that left with Bai Tong, Starlight promised them better resources.


Recently, Star King had been promoting Xia Cha with all their might. In addition, Bai Tong had been fanning the flames in secret, which had already made many celebrities unhappy and jealous.


As soon as Starlight offered them better treatment and resources, the few artistes who were already dissatisfied started to terminate their contracts.


A few celebrities proposed to terminate the contract at the same time, which had quite an impact on Star King.


However, Star King was one of the biggest entertainment companies in the country after all. This little wave would not affect its foundation.


After all, most of the artistes were still willing to stay and were not tempted by the resources given by Starlight.


Xia Cha was not optimistic about the future development of the few artists who had left. Firstly, no matter Starlight had promised them, they were just starting out. How much resources could they have?


Even if they had good resources, they would only give them to Bai Tong.


Secondly, she had betrayed the company before her contract expired and had even caused trouble behind the company’s back. Which company would dare to accept such a character?


Thirdly, if she did not become famous, she would definitely blame the company for giving her too little resources or not being good enough instead of reflecting on her mistakes. How much could such a person do in the future?


On the day that Bai Tong left with a few artistes, she b.u.mped into Xia Cha in the hall.


Bai Tong walked in front of Xia Cha and curled her lips. She said with a faint smile, “You deliberately hid Xia Furong from me, but I have the ability to make her famous again. If you don’t believe me, just wait and see.”


Xia Cha smirked, “I wish you success.”


Looking at Xia Cha’s calm demeanor, a sharp glint flashed across Bai Tong’s eyes. “Don’t think that I don’t know that you’re secretly seducing Master Huo and Huo Heng. You want them to be your backers. Ha, don’t daydream. The two of them have already fallen out, and Master Huo’s status in the Huo family has plummeted. As for Huo Heng, he should be rolling back to Yan City soon!”


Without waiting for Xia Cha to say anything, Bai Tong left proudly with his men.



After Bai Tong left, Xia Cha took out her phone and called Huo Heng.


She didn’t know what Huo Heng had been busy with recently, but they hadn’t contacted each other in days.


She had seen the news on TV. It seemed like the E20 project had been s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Fourth Master Huo.


She wondered if he had been troubled by this recently.


Bai Tong had brazenly terminated her contract with Star King and joined Starlight Entertainment. Wasn’t this announcing to the world that she was on Huo Jie’s side?


The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.


Xia Cha frowned and sent him another message.


Xia Cha did not receive his reply until the evening.


The Lunar New Year was coming soon. Xia Cha was going to release a new single after the Lunar New Year. She was going to compose her own lyrics and melody.


Recently, she had to revise the words she had written, so she didn’t have much time to look for Huo Heng.


He was probably busy since he did not reply to her messages, so she wasn’t going to disturb him.


At nine in the evening, Xia Cha returned to the apartment.


She opened the door and changed her shoes.


She suddenly realized that something was amiss.


She did not turn on the lights after entering the house. Using the light from the corridor, she glanced at the dark living room.


There seemed to be someone sitting on the sofa in the living room.


That person was smoking. The scarlet cigarette b.u.t.t flickered.


The air smelled faintly of tobacco.


Xia Cha’s heart jumped to her throat.


“Who’s that?”


She turned on the lights and took out a bottle of pepper spray.


The man on the sofa slowly turned around.


Xia Cha was slightly stunned when she saw his face.
