BXBX NOVEL Chapter 140 - 140:140, how well does your husband treat you?
As soon as they finished packing and left, the dorm room exploded with chatter.
Girl A: “Is that Su Wanwan’s boyfriend?”
Girl B: “No way, he’s such a country bumpkin, calling his girlfriend a goddess?”
Lin Qiao sneered, “He’s one of her suitors.”
Girl A: “He’s so unattractive, Su Wanwan would never go for him!”
Lin Qiao sneered again, “What do you know? He’s just a toy for her, useful when needed, kicked aside when not. I’ve known her for five years, she’s always been a cunning one, good at flirting and playing with boys’ emotions. She’s probably been kept by some rich old man by now.”
The other two girls’ eyes widened immediately.
Kept?
Although unbelievable, it did make sense considering Su Wanwan’s expensive clothes and how beautiful she is.
Lin Qiao seemed to have an idea, suddenly got up and bounced over to the window, took out her phone and snapped several pictures of the two outside.

Su Wanwan was unaware of the behind-the-scenes slander against her.
After packing up her room, she dismissed Ji Jie, and then she received a call from a certain beast.
The first thing he said was, “How’s the new dorm, baby? You satisfied?”
Su Wanwan didn’t beat around the bush, “It’s nice.”
Huo Jingshen chuckled softly, “Tell me, is your husband good to you?”
Cough, Su Wanwan thought his voice was especially low and magnetic over the phone, especially with a hint of laughter, creating a sense of intimacy. It felt as if he was deliberately teasing her…
She couldn’t help but feel a little moved, and her heart was pounding. All she could do was nodded shyly.
After all, aside from occasionally being a beast in certain things, and being slightly stingy, he really was a good man, treating her pretty well.
“My birthday is coming up,” Huo Jingshen suddenly changed the subject, “as my wife, you should know what to do, right?”
Su Wanwan:
So, being so nice to her was just to get a birthday present!
Typical capitalist, a blatant businessman!
“What do you want for your birthday?” Su Wanwan said, and then quickly added, “But let me tell you first, I don’t have much money, so I can’t afford anything too expensive.”
“You have twenty days left. Think about it carefully, baby. I’ve got a meeting to run off to.”
After hanging up, Su Wanwan started to worry.
She had never given a man anything before, even Su Xueqin and Su Yuntang’s birthdays didn’t require her to give any gifts.
She didn’t have a lot of money to buy a bunch of expensive watches, ties, clothes out like Mo Weiyi does.
What should she give him?
**
Huo Yuan Group.
When Huo Jingshen arrived at the conference room, Chu Xiuhuang was already waiting there.
Rarely seen in a meticulously put-together suit and shoes, he still wore a casual look on his face, speaking lazily as anything.
“Bro, you could just reach out to my secretary next time, or Lu Chenyu. I’m busy.”
Huo Jingshen gave him a cold glance.
The next second.
“That’s what secretaries are for.”
No sooner had Lu Chenyu said this than the entire conference room erupted in a chorus of coughs.
As for the one being joked about, Chu Xiuhuang’s secretary, she wore a black suit and black-framed glasses. Her parted hair fell over the larger part of her face, hiding her looks and expression. Taken lightly, she seemed to have grown accustomed to such joking treatments. She simply adjusted her glasses calmly.
A sweep of Huo Jingshen’s eyes, emitting a formidable aura, silenced the entire room.
He said seriously, “I believe you all have received the lawsuit files from Mo Group. I’d now like to hear Huangyou’s specific solution.”
The newly built Huo Yuan resort had been progressing smoothly. Even yesterday, successful press was conducted on it. But this morning, at Mo Group’s press, the head of their publicity department directly claimed that Huo Yuan had plagiarised all their plans.
All hell broke loose.
In less than half an hour, lawsuit papers were submitted to his mailbox.
This resort project was the first one Huangyou had taken up with Huo Yuan. The promotional operations were entirely their responsibility.
Chu Xiuhuang snapped his fingers and his secretary stood up.
“Good afternoon, I’m the head of Huangyou’s Secretarial Department, Mr. Chu’s private assistant, my name is Shi. After the incident, we quickly teamed up with lawyer Lu and conducted an investigation only to discover that the manager of Shengshi Media’s planning department was to blame. Here are the investigation documents. I’ll add the inside story to Mr. Huo’s mailbox as there were some personal grudges involved.”
After finishing, she handed over a document.
“In the accident, even though Huangyou also suffered, we’ve had a close relationship with Shengshi for quite some time. Hence, Huangyou will take full responsibility for this accident in order to minimise the impact on Huo Yuan. At the same time, Huangyou has ceased its cooperation with Shengshi to prevent such accidents from occurring again. I’ve also summarised this in a statement which I request Mr. Huo to review.”
She handed over a second document.
“Shengshi Media’s Ms. Sheng expressed that they will come up with a disciplinary plan for the manager and make him provide a written public apology, going through all the legal procedures with Mo. Tomorrow morning, we plan on holding another press conference with Shengshi to provide extensive clarification about the incident. This concludes Huangyou’s plan of action..”
