Chapter 428 With Premier Wen taking the lead, everything is under control.
Ning Yao looked up at the man who had rushed over and silently pursed her lips.
He had obviously just come out of the conference room; he hadn't even changed out of his suit, only his tie was loose.
Wen Tingye glanced at the table and naturally sat down next to Ning Yao, leaning against her and putting his arm around her shoulder. A wicked smile played on his lips, showing no restraint whatsoever for a father.
"Where's Baoying?" Wen Tingye turned his head, kissed Ning Yao on the cheek regardless of her wishes, and asked with a low laugh.
Judging from his behavior, he clearly treats Huo Zhijing as if he doesn't exist.
Ning Yao had hoped that the atmosphere would improve after Wen Tingye arrived, but it seems she overestimated him.
A man's emotional intelligence depends entirely on his mood at the time.
“He’s playing with Wanwan over there.” Ning Yao raised her hand and subtly pushed Wen Tingye.
Wen Tingye raised one eyebrow, then put one arm around Ning Yao's shoulder, while his other hand reached for the half-eaten hamburger in front of her.
He didn't mind at all that Ning Yao had eaten it; he picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth.
Yet, the way he ate was not at all rude; in fact, it was refined and elegant, and Ning Yao couldn't find any fault with it.
“If you want to eat, I’ll buy you some more. This is what I’ve already eaten.” Ning Yao said helplessly, picking up a tissue and handing it to Wen Tingye to wipe the salad dressing from his lips.
"What's there to complain about when your own wife has eaten it?" Wen Tingye ate with satisfaction. His handsome short black hair had grown a bit longer, with long, wispy bangs framing his face. This wild hairstyle gave Wen Tingye a slightly roguish look.
Huo Zhijing's appearance is not as flamboyant and unrestrained as Wen Tingye's. He is a man of temperament, exuding the composure of a successful man. He is not too aggressive and gives people a comfortable feeling.
But Wen Tingye was different. He was so handsome that it was breathtaking. No female creature could escape his charms whenever he appeared.
Sure enough, ever since Wen Tingye entered the children's restaurant, all the mothers in the restaurant couldn't help but look towards Ning Yao.
After watching, the mothers gathered in small groups, their faces beaming with the excitement of seeing a male celebrity or idol.
"I've known that woman for a while now. Isn't she that actress, Luo Xiyao?"
"Yes, she seems to be the heir of the Si family. She has quite a background. No wonder she became so popular in less than a year since her debut."
"She's so lucky. I think both of the men around her are pretty good, but I prefer the latter one. The former is too mature and steady. He does have a masculine charm, but in terms of looks... well, you can only say there's no harm in comparison!"
"You don't not recognize who the later one is, do you?"
"He does look somewhat familiar. Is he a celebrity in the entertainment industry? What's his name?"
"He's Wen Tingye, the CEO of the Wen Group, the dream man of every woman in the capital!"
The murmurs were very quiet; if you didn't listen carefully, you'd only hear the chirping of ducklings passing by. Ning Yao's table didn't pay much attention to it.
Seeing Wen Tingye eating the food Ning Yao had eaten, Huo Zhijing was immediately surprised. He looked Wen Tingye up and down several times, beginning to doubt whether the Wen Tingye in front of him was a fake CEO of the Wen Group.
The Wen Tingye he knew before was aloof and cold. He rarely ate out, let alone left food uneaten.
Huo Zhijing had inquired and learned that Wen Tingye was a germaphobe and never easily ate food from outside. As for the reason, Huo Zhijing was not quite sure.
After finishing his hamburger, Wen Tingye tossed the wrapper onto the table, his long, slender fingers still covered in crumbs.
"Alright, we've eaten, it's time to go." Wen Tingye said this to Ning Yao.
Ning Yao also felt that it was about time, but she felt a little bad for Huo Zhijing, who had been a third wheel for so long.
"I also have official business to attend to." Huo Zhijing showed no emotion throughout, and his voice remained indifferent.
"I'll go and call Baoying and Wanwan over." After Ning Yao finished speaking, she nodded politely to Huo Zhijing and walked towards the amusement area.
After Ning Yao left the table, Wen Tingye leaned back towards Huo Zhijing across from him and casually crossed his legs.
The man had a cold and arrogant demeanor, which gave people an invisible sense of oppression, and his voice was deep and carried a hint of evil.
"Don't blame me for not warning you, if you dare to make a move on Yao Yao, I'll make you suffer a terrible death."
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what Mr. Wen means." Huo Zhijing pretended not to understand, his tone even somewhat innocent.
"The video recording in the private room of the restaurant at Hengdian World Studios—don't tell me this has nothing to do with your Huo family." Wen Tingye tapped the table a few times with his fingertip, the rhythm dull and heavy.
"So this is what President Wen was referring to." Huo Zhijing straightened his shoulders, adopting the posture he would only use during negotiations.
"Actually, I was helping President Wen solve his troubles. I really intervened out of good intentions. President Wen should know that Miss Ning Yao has quite a few men around her. Besides Ning Chen, there's the movie star Tang Xiaoge, Ning Chen's good brother, the biology genius Ning Moran, and even a subordinate surnamed Chen in her company, Mo Fei'ao, the eldest son of the Mo family..."
What is it about this fickle woman that makes Wen Tingye like her?
Huo Zhijing didn't continue speaking. He knew Wen Tingye was a smart man; if he could find out these things, so could Wen Tingye.
Why is Wen Tingye so fond of Ning Yao?
Is it because she gave birth to a son and a daughter for Wen Tingye, and is the next successor of the Si family?
Based on Huo Zhijing's understanding of Wen Tingye, he wouldn't stoop so low as to accept a woman just to get a Simen.
“If Mr. Huo is so bored that he needs to meddle in other people’s business to pass the time, I don’t mind helping Mr. Huo out.” Wen Tingye put his hands together, his knuckles were slightly white from being clenched, and there was a hint of coldness in them.
"It would be best if I had something to do. I'm just a busybody, I can't stand being idle." Huo Zhijing spread his hands as if to say that, but he showed no fear or willingness to back down.
Although the Huo family does not have the influence of the Wen family in the capital, they still have the resources to compete with Wen Tingye.
The Wen family operates in the open, while the Huo family operates in the shadows. If they were to truly fight, it's uncertain who would have the better chance of winning.
Thinking of this, Huo Zhijing stared intently at Wen Tingye in front of him.
Wen Tingye's lips curled up, clearly smiling, but it conveyed no genuine joy; instead, it carried a fierce and threatening undertone.
"You think you're the only one who knows how to use such underhanded tactics?"
Just as Huo Zhijing was about to say something, his phone vibrated.
After answering the phone, Huo Zhijing's expression changed drastically. He looked up at Wen Tingye with a hint of anger in his eyes.
He had just received a call from the company, and his assistant frantically explained that the company's most sophisticated security network had been breached just five minutes earlier, and the company's bidding plans for the next year had been exposed. The detailed information was already in the hands of executives from rival companies that were bidding at the same time.
This matter is clearly related to Wen Tingye. If Huo Zhijing had any eyes, he could see the mockery in Wen Tingye's expression.
What terrified Huo Zhijing even more was that he didn't know when Wen Tingye had started doing these things.
My most prized security network was breached so silently and without warning...
"I was bored on the way here, so I just picked this up. Mr. Huo, did your security network really win the Global Security Network Information Award last year? This so-called honor, you didn't buy it with your money, did you, President Huo?"
Wen Tingye's wrist suddenly pressed against the edge of the table, and his slender, well-defined fingers slowly interlaced.
As the last word fell, the man's lips curved into a wider, wicked smile.
