531: Is it destiny that decides who will win the heart of Huo Qichen?

Under the cover of night, the Huo Family's interior was brightly lit, like a magnificent palace.

In the main hall, splendid decorations shimmered, and crystal chandeliers cast a soft glow.

At this moment, the Huo Clan members were holding an early Celebration Banquet, filled with laughter and joy, gathered together.

The board executives, one by one, were dressed in formal attire, their faces beaming with brilliant smiles, chatting in groups of two or three, their words full of aspirations and expectations for the future.

In the center of the crowd, the family head, Huo Tingfeng, stood tall and proud, his smile blossoming like a chrysanthemum.

His eyes sparkled with excitement and emotion, his inner joy irrepressible.

Ever since he learned the exact location of the University City project, he had been eager to celebrate this significant victory.

In his opinion, this project would be the key to the Huo Family's rise to prominence, and the feeling of having victory assured made him feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, floating with delight.

"Everyone! Quiet down! Please listen to me first!" Huo Tingfeng raised his wine glass and said in a loud voice, "Today we gather here to celebrate the coming glory of the Huo Family."

"As everyone knows, the location of the University City project has been locked down and revealed by my son in advance; this is a major turning point and opportunity for our Huo Family."

"Heaven blesses the Huo Family! I have 95% absolute certainty that with our combined efforts, the Huo Family will surely reach new heights."

"Promotion to a prominent family is just around the corner!!!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, the Huo Clan members' faces were radiant with smiles, and they all raised their wine glasses, echoing Huo Tingfeng's words.

"The family head is right! The Huo Family's future is bright."

"This billion-dollar project will surely make Huo Corporation a leader in the business world."

"Come, family! Let's toast to the glory of the Huo Family!"

"~(￣▽￣)~* Cheers! Our Huo Family will surely be passed down for thousands of generations, immortal! Hahaha..."

"..."

The sound of clinking glasses was crisp and pleasant, as if playing a symphony of victory.

Laughter echoed in the brightly lit hall, and every Huo Family executive was immersed in this joyful atmosphere.

They seemed to see the flourishing future of the Huo Family, and their own glory and status within this illustrious family.

One of the Huo Family executives, whose hair loss had created a 'Mediterranean' bald spot, raised his wine glass and fawned with a flattering smile:

"Family head, I think the biggest contributor to the Huo Family's impending glory is actually you, family head!"

"If it weren't for your excellent guidance, cultivating such an outstanding heir as the Young Patriarch for our Huo Family..."

"How could our Huo Family have such glory today?"

"..."

Seeing Huo Tingfeng's face filled with satisfaction from the flattery, a high-ponytail woman in the crowd, unwilling to be outdone, quickly chimed in:

"Isn't that right! The Young Patriarch is truly amazing; despite his disability, he remains exceptionally capable, bringing immense glory to our Huo Family."

"This achievement is entirely comparable to that of ancestor Hawking."

"In my heart, the Young Patriarch deserves to be enshrined in the ancestral temple."

"..."

Everyone spoke one after another, highly praising Huo Qichen, with endless flattery.

Smug and ugly expressions were revealed in everyone's smiles...

"The Young Patriarch truly lives up to his reputation as the pillar of our Huo Family; with the Young Patriarch here, how can the Huo Family not prosper?"

"The family head truly bore a good son; this is a great fortune for the Huo Family!"

"Originally, acquiring that A-grade plot of land was fraught with difficulties, and we were worried about too many competitors, expecting to pay a considerable price."

"Now, we only need to pay a small amount of money to acquire that promising E-grade potential plot, hahaha..."

"When the truth is exposed, many forces in the Demon Capital will surely be stunned on the spot, filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred for us!"

"..."

Listening to these continuous words of praise, Huo Tingfeng's heart was filled with satisfaction.

He slightly raised his chin and admitted without changing his expression, "That is natural; Qi Chen is so outstanding entirely because of my excellent education."

"A son born to me, Huo Tingfeng, naturally wouldn't be inferior; he is inherently superior, with extraordinary intelligence."

"..."

At this moment, the Huo Family's main hall was filled with an atmosphere of vanity and arrogance.

Every Huo Family descendant was smug and conceited, their nostrils pointed skyward, as if they had already stood at the peak of the Demon Capital, looking down on all beings.

Unfortunately, what they didn't realize was... the gears of fate had already quietly turned, and the future's direction was far beyond what they could foresee.

Soon, all the Huo Family members present would personally experience... what it means to... suffer sorrow after extreme joy!!!!!

...Near the main hall, in a resplendent bedroom.

Listening to the constant flattery from outside, Huo Qichen gave an Overbearing CEO's smile, knowing that from today onwards, the Huo Family would completely become his possession.

"What did Miss Tang say? Didn't she call? Does she dislike the one hundred thousand yuan as too little?"

Upon hearing this, the butler, Fu Bo, standing by the bed, slightly bowed to Huo Qichen, who was sprawled on the bed, and gave him a thumbs-up, his face full of admiration...

"Young Master, Miss Tang not only didn't call to question us..."

"She even proactively sent a message, saying that the remaining 99,900,000 yuan was not needed, and that she wasn't a materialistic girl, having no interest in money."

"She values you, Young Master, not vulgar money."

"Young Master, you truly are charming!"

"With just a flick of your wrist, the Tang Family's most beloved Seventh Miss fell at your feet, captivated and deeply in love with you, even willing to go through fire and water for you."

"Now that we have Miss Tang in our grasp, won't the Tang Family's connections be at our disposal in the future?"

"..."

Due to excellent secrecy, to the outside world, Tang Rou was still the Tang Family's most beloved youngest daughter.

Whoever could capture her heart would be equivalent to gaining the Tang Family's support.

Therefore, when Tang Rou proactively came to him, saying she had long admired the Overbearing CEO... Huo Qichen was ecstatic, feeling a sense of destiny, as if he was supreme in heaven and on earth.

As for Tang Rou having ulterior motives? Or the possibility of her deceiving him?

5%.

According to the final analysis by the Huo Family's think tank, the probability of Tang Rou having malicious intentions was less than 5%.

No matter how hard they racked their brains, they still couldn't think of any benefit for the Tang Family's Seventh Miss to do such a thing.

It couldn't possibly be that she was bored and just playing with the Overbearing CEO, could it?

However, to test Tang Rou's sincerity, the Overbearing CEO had privately met with the Fake Heiress.

Following his experience of "playing the victim" once in front of Tang Familys Third Young Master, he re-enacted it for Tang Rou.

Ultimately, he obtained the Fake Heiress's promise to steal information for him...
