Chapter 133 Undercurrent
"Huo Mian, look! Am I awesome?"
After calling out to Heihuomian several times but getting no eye contact, Bai Shuiru reached out and held his handsome face, lifting it up to look towards her. She then immediately grabbed a pen and twirled it between her fingers.
The slender pen body rotated between the five slender white fingers. Although the movement was not very smooth, it was amazing enough for Bai Shuiru, who had previously avoided pens like the plague.
"I saw it online, and have been practicing it secretly for a while. Isn't it cool?"
Hei Huo Mian clapped his hands and stood up, stretching out his arms to hug the little girl, praising:
"Of course he's handsome. My fiancée is the most handsome in everything he does."
"From lollipop-shaped cookies, mochi crispy bars to hawthorn rolls, I've tried them all..."
"Yes, you have eaten it." The man replied lovingly, sneered and kissed her cheek.
"Lululu." The little girl made a face and tried to get out of the man's arms.
"No wonder there were so many snacks piled up in Wanwan's room some time ago. You little greedy cat, don't decay all of Wanwan's baby teeth."
"Don't worry~! We brush our teeth carefully every time!" Bai Shuiru sat cross-legged on the carpet, took a bite of a spicy strip, and continued to turn the sandwich biscuit stick.
Every cookie stick that fell on the carpet was bitten into her mouth while she muttered "Eat failure, the next one is success", and then she would pull out a new cookie stick and spin it.
"If you keep walking around like this, you won't be able to have lunch." The man laughed softly, took out a silver lion-head letter opener from the drawer and stuffed it into Bai Shuiru's hand. He took the biscuit stick from her mouth when she was not paying attention, touched her pouting lips with his fingertips, and suggested in a gentle voice:
"Shui Ru, since you are not so afraid of pens anymore, do you want to work in the design department of 'Ming·Xin'?" Hei Huomian handed Bai Shui Ru his hot tea, and then began to chew half of a biscuit stick.
"Okay!" The little girl responded excitedly. She rolled her eyes while drinking tea, and suddenly replied seriously:
"Well, Mr. Chairman, this is what I have planned for your assistant:
I would like to work as Li You's assistant first, gradually get familiar with the company's environment, and then join the design department."
"You know, first of all, I have never worked for a large multinational corporation, and I will work in the headquarters in the future. Secondly, although you are the chairman, there is no need for others to gossip about you, right?"
She stuck out her tongue and continued:
"Besides, I have to submit my work for the interview when I join the design department. I am not so afraid of touching a pen now. I want to draw the design drawings of the works I have done before."
"Be Li You's assistant?" Hei Huo Mian only caught this detail, narrowed his eyes and approached the little girl, "Why do you want to be his assistant? Aren't you the personal assistant of the chairman and executive CEO, Hei Huo Mian?"
Bai Shuiru instinctively tried to hide, but the other person grabbed her back and she couldn't move, and her forehead was touching his, so she subconsciously shrank her neck, her eyes wandered, and she hesitated:
"Well, well, I only know Li You. And being your personal assistant doesn't count, and I don't have any substantive work."
"I'm such a big person in front of you, can't you see it?" Hei Huomian loosened his arms and sat up straight, crossing his long legs, resting his left arm on the armrest of the chair, supporting his left lower jaw, staring at his little girl with the look of a prey stalking and waiting for an opportunity to catch, "What do you think, boss, should I deduct your salary as a little assistant?"
Deducting salary? I have at least 4-50 billion in assets now, which should be enough for the black chairman to deduct.
Bai Shuiru thought of this, smiled easily, and nodded in agreement like a chick pecking at rice:
"Okay, okay, okay. Chairman, please ask your assistant to give me the performance evaluation form for my confirmation. Hehe."
"You are so naughty~!" Hei Huomian heard the cell phone ringing, and reached out to hug his fiancée into his arms again, pressing her to sit on his lap.
On the other end of the phone, Li You's tone was very anxious:
"Emperor of Hades! I…"
Hei Huomian silently silenced Li You and watched Bai Shuiru's expression with his peripheral vision. He quietly changed his hand to hold the phone, leaned forward slightly, bit off the biscuit stick in the pen-spinning girl's mouth, swallowed it, and then responded slowly:
"You said."
"Emperor of Hades! I have something very important to report to you!"
Hei Huomian ended the call, picked up Bai Shuiru, strode into the cloakroom, and let her sit on the sofa.
"It's better to do it now than today, my personal assistant, let's go after we change our clothes."
after an hour.
Bai Shuiru noticed that Hei Huomian's car stopped steadily in front of the Ming Xin headquarters building, and she hurriedly scooped the ice cream into her mouth, but in front of her, a tissue was gently wiping the tip of her nose.
"Eat slowly, we don't need that much time."
Bai Shuiru's face turned slightly red, and she grinned at Hei Huomian with bared teeth. Just as she turned her back, he straightened her body. Even with sunglasses on, she could not hide the smile in her clear eyes.
"What kind of greedy little cat look have I not seen in you? And if you turn your back, how can I help you wipe your mouth?"
Bai Shuiru vaguely heard the driver Lao He couldn't help but laugh out loud, her face immediately flushed, she quickly put the last bite of ice cream into her mouth, stuffed a piece of melon and a piece of pineapple into it, grabbed the tissue from Hei Huomian's hand and wiped her mouth hastily before getting off the bus, urging:
"Strange, he ate the peach!" Hurry, I'm going to be late!
Hei Huomian smiled and reached out to hold Bai Shuiru's hand, but the girl turned around and pulled him out of the back seat of the car.
Hei Huomian deliberately slowed down his pace, stretched out his arms and let Bai Shuiru drag him, one after the other, towards the Mingxin Building.
"Does our situation resemble the situation where my girlfriend drags us to register for marriage before the Civil Affairs Bureau closes?"
Before Hei Huomian could finish his words, Bai Shuiru quickly turned around and stood on tiptoe to cover his mouth.
The little girl looked around and then lowered her voice to remind:
"What are you doing so loud?! Someone might hear you."
Hei Huo Mian took the opportunity to raise the girl's hand to his lips and kissed her palm. When she shyly withdrew her hand, he stretched out his arm to Huan's waist and led her to the entrance of the building. "So what if they heard or saw it? Not only are we in a legitimate relationship, but we are also engaged. We are indeed going to have a wedding~!"
"Stop talking! Keep a low profile!" Bai Shuiru looked around, "I still want to get some social insurance and housing fund in Mingxin until I retire!" People have a hard life, and they worry about food before they die. So the money now can make up for the lack in the future.
Hei Huomian smiled softly, "You can live there until your next life~!" His already low voice mixed with the vibration of his chest easily kissed Bai Shuiru's ears red.
"Hush~!" Bai Shuiru blushed and stopped in time, turned around, tapped Hei Huomian's chest, raised her eyebrows and grinned:
"New employees cannot be so unambitious when they join the company, or they will be fired immediately without hesitation!"
At Bai Shuiru's insistence, Hei Huomian reluctantly let go of his arms, but he was always within a finger's width of his fiancée.
The little girl kept pushing the man who was leaning against her side, mumbling in a delicate voice: "Stay away from me~!"
After repeatedly failing to push him away, her cheeks became more and more beautiful like a crabapple in spring, making people want to kiss her.
This made Hei Huo Mian immediately stretch out his arms and embrace Jiao Ruan into his arms again, resting his chin on her forehead, and said half coquettishly and half threateningly:
"Bai Shuiru, you're already disliking me now, even though you haven't married me yet?"
"In a public place, and in the company..."
Hei Huomian raised his eyes and glanced at the elevator car. "This is my private elevator. My office is not a public place."
"......" Bai Shuiru stretched out her hand and twisted the man's arm, gritting her teeth and scolding:
"Evil capitalist!"
Behind the black sunglasses, the smile in his eyes quickly turned into a dull expression because of the girl's shyness. He walked lightly, turned around and trapped the girl between the wall of the compartment and his chest, bent down slightly, lowered his head close to her cheek, and whispered with a smile:
"Shui Ru, I'm serious. I really want to announce the fact that you are my fiancée in a grand way." The warm breath fell on her neck.
Bai Shuiru was just about to respond.
The next second, the elevator reached the top floor and opened its door.
"Boss!" Li You had been waiting outside the elevator for a long time. He quickly lowered his eyes and reminded softly.
Hei Huomian nodded, and when he turned around, he saw Bai Shuiru lowering her head to hide her embarrassment. She had already kept a social distance of two meters from him, and was obviously hesitating whether to follow him into the office.
Hei Huomian supported Bai Shuiru's back with a smile on his face, and took her into his office without further ado, and led her to the door of the lounge. "Why don't you wait for me in my lounge? I just asked someone to prepare your favorite snacks, and you can take your time to eat."
Hei Huomian looked at the lounge door that was gently closed with reluctance. Reminded by Li You's cough, he turned around, sat down, and answered absentmindedly:
"What's the hurry?"
Li You hurriedly placed his phone in front of Hei Huo Mian and turned up the volume of the video:
"According to reliable intelligence, the Special Task Force raided the home of Li Wai, a male artist under Mingqu Entertainment, five minutes ago and found a series of items used by the Hades, including the Hades' royal robe and the Hades' fire seal."
Hei Huomian glanced at the Hades logo in the upper right corner of the video, "What did he say?"
"The detailed interrogation is still ongoing. However, when the evidence was found earlier, Li Wai defended himself:
Those were props used in the filming of "The Yellow Springs". He just asked the director to take the props home so that he could train the character of Hades at any time... You, please join the filming in the best condition."
"But the report I just received is that the controlling investor of the film is Li Wai himself."
Li You paused and continued:
"Liwai was hidden because he was too high-profile some time ago. It is reasonable for him to use unorthodox means to gain the "incense" of fans from both the human world and the underworld and do what the power plant did."
Hei Huomian listened to the report while flipping through and signing the documents on the table. "Notify Mingqu immediately to cancel Li Wai's status as the spokesperson for the underworld. From now on, don't set up such a stupid diplomatic identity again."
A mini Black Fire Mian appeared above Black Fire Mian's head, raised its leg and kicked the back of the big Black Fire Mian's head hard.
Black Fire Mian bared his teeth: Chi~!
Oh, I remembered it!
At that time, my little brush had just escaped from me and I couldn't control my emotions at all. In a moment of insanity, I came up with this crappy spokesperson that shocked all the Piao people.
"Yes." Li You agreed and immediately conveyed the order of the Hades.
Hei Huomian suddenly glanced in the direction of the lounge door, and then gave a silent order:
"Quan Ai has killed Ding Jiao and escaped from Si Yuan. I infer that Li Wai is probably just a scapegoat. You continue to investigate thoroughly."
Li You was slightly startled, then responded:
"clear."
"Also, please arrange a time for me as soon as possible. It's time to communicate with them about some things."
Li You suddenly understood what his boss meant. He immediately stood up straight, nodded respectfully, turned around and wanted to leave the office.
"and many more."
Li You heard the voice, turned around and waited for new instructions.
"Go and verify the group's financial report for this quarter." Hei Huomian closed the document in his hand and handed it over.
Li You took the document and flipped through it, frowning:
He intuitively sensed that something was wrong, but he had no idea what the exact problem was.
After Hei Huomian finished signing a document, he caught a glimpse of his hesitation from the corner of his eye and reminded him:
"The group still plans to donate a total of 2000 million yuan to ten charitable foundations this year: the parent company will donate 500 million yuan, and the rest will be shared by its subsidiaries, with each company paying 100 million yuan. On the surface, this plan accurately estimates the group's profits this year, fully utilizes the pre-tax deduction quota of the subsidiaries, reasonably plans the donation amount, avoids additional tax burden, and saves the group 132 million yuan in taxes."
Li You still didn't understand, but his attention began to wander to the list of subsidiaries.
Hei Huomian closed another signed document and handed it to the other party. "Initially, I followed my mother's wishes and contacted five foundations in person. Later, I finally decided on the remaining five foundations, a total of ten, at the board meeting."
Li You's attention was instantly diverted, and he suddenly realized what he had just recalled. He continued:
"Now, four of the donated units are affiliated with branches of the foundation, not the original foundation. You suspect that these subsidiaries are colluding with the foundation to enrich themselves..."
Hei Huomian glanced at Li You and continued to review the next document. "Secrecy leads to success, while disclosure leads to failure. Before the matter is thoroughly investigated, do not make any assumptions or conclusions; and do not leak any information."
"Yes." Li You stood up straight, recited the teachings silently, and hurriedly left the office with the documents.
Once the matter is exposed, it is very likely that people with ulterior motives will use it to slander the Underworld Emperor, using charitable donations to evade taxes and gain reputation; not only will the Underworld Emperor be ruined, but the reputation of the group and its branches will also be damaged.
Tsk, the world and the underworld have become increasingly restless recently!
And it seems that everything is directed at the Hades, so the most likely person to do this is...
