Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Chu Yan: He is Huo Shiyuan? How is that possible?
Hanchen chuckled lightly when he heard Chu Yan personally admit that Fan Yan was employing a whole bunch of marketing accounts. Bo Fan really was a good “brother” to him!
Yuan Xi, seeing Hanchen yawning continuously, didn’t dare let him drive and went to sit in the driver’s seat.
As Hanchen sat in the passenger seat, he took out his phone and began texting Special Assistant Wang, occasionally flashing a sly smile.
Upon reaching the fifty-eighth floor of Michen Building.
Yuan Xi had just returned to her office when she saw Huo Shiyan waiting inside.
Huo Shiyan had a food container with him, “Why did you leave without having breakfast?”
Yuan Xi said, “Bo Fan caught wind of the Weibo post that Hanchen made last night. Bo Fan is using marketing accounts to stir up public opinion against Michen; it’s not looking good for us. I left early in the morning, and I’ve already had breakfast.”
Huo Shiyan took the bird’s nest out of the food container and handed it to Yuan Xi, “Then eat the bird’s nest, it was just freshly stewed by the nutritionist.”
Looking at the bird’s nest in the bowl, Yuan Xi picked up a spoon and began eating, “I didn’t think Bo Fan would do such a thing; I thought he and Hanchen were good brothers.”
Huo Shiyan said, “Fan Yan has been seeking investnt from Shixi since half a year ago. Shixi has been refusing, not only because they don’t see a bright future for Fan Yan but also because Bo Fan is not as straightforward as Hanchen.”
Yuan Xi saw the online public opinion getting more and more intense and didn’t understand why Hanchen was still dragging his feet.
Huo Shiyan, seeing Yuan Xi frowning, reassured her, “Don’t worry, if this small matter is too much for Hanchen to handle, then I really should consider finding a new CEO for Michen. Isn’t it about ti for the baby’s check-up?”
Yuan Xi, thinking about the baby, felt sowhat relieved, “Last ti during the ultrasound scan, we couldn’t see the fetal heartbeat or the embryo, and the doctor said that a check-up between six to eight weeks would be more suitable. It’s been over six weeks now, and we plan to go for a check-up this weekend.”
Huo Shiyan said, “Then I’ll make ti on Saturday to accompany you to the check-up. I should go now; the nanny will bring you lunch later, make sure to eat more.”
“Okay.”
The public opinion worsened during the lunch break; so marketing accounts even started spreading rumors about Hanchen’s endless private affairs with won, and they were demanding female gars to get refunds and cancel their accounts…
Hanchen was eating lunch sent from the nanny at Ruohu Mansion, looking utterly unfazed.
Seeing him like this, Yuan Xi also started to feel more at ease.
Hanchen’s cellphone rang, and Yuan Xi saw “Bo Fan” on the caller ID, asking the smiling Hanchen, “Aren’t you going to answer it?”
Hanchen handed his phone to Yuan Xi, “You take it, tell him I’m in Michen eting with Huo Shiyan.”
Yuan Xi said, “Huo Shiyan? Didn’t he just leave?”
Hanchen looked at Yuan Xi and said, “Why would Bo Fan spend money to harm ? Can’t you see through his shallow intentions? Just answer the phone.”
Yuan Xi answered Bo Fan’s call, “Hello, Mr. Bo, Mr. Gu is in a eting with Huo Shiyan, yes, President Huo is currently at Michen.”
After hanging up the phone.
Hanchen took his phone back and called Special Assistant Wang, “Did you find the person I asked you to look for at Jiang City Film City among the crowd of extras to play Huo Shiyan? Did you find anyone? Hurry up, you’re dragging your feet.”
Yuan Xi looked at Hanchen in surprise, “Finding soone to play Huo Shiyan?”
Hanchen said, “Yeah, why do you think Bo Fan would spend money to harm ? After all, we grew up together, brothers. Even if he is jealous of my handso and dashing looks, there’s no need to spend money to harm . This public opinion is just a small wave affecting the flotation process; it doesn’t do any significant harm to Michen’s outlook. If he doesn’t have a motive, why would he waste the money?”
Yuan Xi laughed in realization, “Bo Fan is thinking about taking advantage of Michen’s PR crisis to step in and help you settle it, thereby making you owe him a favor and help him get introduced to Huo Shiyan? After all, Huo Shiyan holds 51% of Michen’s shares, and by helping Michen, Bo Fan is also helping Huo Shiyan. Through your diation, Huo Shiyan might agree to et him because of the favor he did for Michen?”
Gu Hanchen said, “Hmm, since he wants to et Huo Shiyuan, let him et! He’s using , so I have to play a trick on him.”
Yuan Xi responded, “Isn’t that a bit childish? It’s not a good idea to find soone to play as Huo Shiyuan, right?”
Gu Hanchen said, “What’s so bad about it? I just want to tease Bo Fan, nothing more.”
Yuan Xi still didn’t want to agree, “Mr. Gu, I think this is inappropriate.”
Gu Hanchen argued, “What’s the harm in seeking a bit of satisfaction? Bo Fan uses , can’t you even let have a little fun at his expense? I’ll have Special Assistant Wang find a handso guy. It won’t embarrass your husband, I promise. Why don’t you lend your husband’s sub-penthouse in the Shiyi Hotel to my actor for a while?”
Yuan Xi, recalling what had happened in that room, firmly said, “Not there!”
Gu Hanchen then suggested, “Then lend the presidential suite on the 21st floor of Building 8 at Jiangjing No.1 to my actor.”
Yuan Xi sent a WeChat ssage to Huo Shiyuan, who quickly replied.
Yuan Xi told Gu Hanchen, “Huo Shiyuan has agreed, but he wants rent.”
“Stingy…” Gu Hanchen muttered.
Yuan Xi said, “He doesn’t approve of you getting soone to impersonate him, so by charging rent he’s showing he’s also a victim of the impersonation.”
“Mr. Gu, President Yuan, we’ve found the person, and he’s absolutely perfect!” Special Assistant Wang declared confidently as he arrived.
Yuan Xi looked over and saw a handso young man standing behind Special Assistant Wang. He had very pale and thin skin, exuding an indescribable gloomy aura, but it was his overwhelming stench of cigarette smoke that made Yuan Xi unable to stop herself from retching into a nearby trash can, though nothing ca out except for nausea.
Gu Hanchen spoke to the young man with a teasing tone, “Tsk tsk tsk, who would’ve thought Jiang City had such a fine specin. Don’t mind her, she’s pregnant and feeling sick, not because she saw you.”
Yuan Xi, having cald the queasiness in her chest after a mont of retching, looked at the man who was about the sa height as Gu Hanchen.
“What’s your na?”
Fu Yi looked Yuan Xi over, a hint of disdain in his eyes, “Fu Yi.”
Gu Hanchen said, “Special Assistant Wang must have briefed you, right? You just need to be Huo Shiyuan for a while around Bo Fan, get him to treat you with respect. Just entertain , and after the act, you’ll receive one million as your acting fee. Think you can pull it off?”
Gu Hanchen then directed Special Assistant Wang, “Go get one of my newly arrived suits from the lounge, and also bring over that new Richard Mille watch.”
Yuan Xi sighed helplessly at Gu Hanchen’s childish antics, catching Fu Yi’s gaze and feeling an odd discomfort in her lower abdon.
She didn’t trust this Fu Yi from the bottom of her heart; perhaps she simply didn’t like the idea of soone impersonating Huo Shiyuan.
After Fu Yi changed into a shirt and suit, the sll of tobacco on him dissipated, and he truly exuded an ineffable charisma.
Gu Hanchen appraised Fu Yi, “Not bad, with that outfit you really do look like a CEO. Rember, from now on you are Huo Shiyuan. I’ll provide you with fancy cars and houses. Just play the part well around Bo Fan without giving yourself away. Focus on taking from Bo Fan, on accepting his flattery, but always drag your feet on investing in Fan Yan.”
“Mr. Bo, Miss Chu, President Huo, and Mr. Gu along with President Yuan are in the lounge,” Special Assistant Wang’s voice ca from outside.
Upon hearing the three words “Miss Chu,” Fu Yi looked visibly uncomfortable but quickly composed himself and looked toward the door.
Chu Yan entered, clinging to Bo Fan’s arm, “Hanchen, sister, Huo…”
Chu Yan turned to the young man in the custom-made suit, a frown forming, “Is he Huo Shiyuan? That’s impossible?”
