Chapter 729 The Popularity Soars

As the popularity continues to rise, the number of comments has also increased visibly.

——Boycott boycott, there is no shortage of good brands such as Huo's

——Boycott +1, if one day I use this kind of thing, I’m afraid I won’t have time to prepare it except for my last words.

——There is a saying that all the Huo's things at home were thrown away, but the waste collectors didn't even want them.

Public opinions on the Internet are raging, and almost all of them show a bad side. Even if a few people occasionally come out to say good things sincerely, they will be drowned by numerous rumors.

The stock price fell so alarmingly that day that Huo's board of directors held a meeting directly.

"We say it's a meeting, but I'm not putting pressure on you." Ye Zhen was indignant.

He often followed Huo Yichen, and naturally he saw a lot of the faces of the people on the board of directors.

Normally, the CEO would keep silent when making money and working on projects, but now something happened, and everyone came out and said something was wrong with Huo Yichen.

Huo Yichen's expression remained as usual, "You should pay close attention to this matter."

He had a hunch that this matter might not be over yet.

No matter what, the meeting has to be held.

When Huo Yichen took Ye Zhen to the conference room, all the board members except him seemed to have agreed this time, and all their eyes fell on him as soon as he came in.

"It's rare for you all to be on time." Huo Yichen spoke first, and then sat in the middle, his face as calm as water despite the gaze of everyone.

"If you hadn't caused such a big thing, how many of us could have come over?" One of the old members said.

Immediately afterwards, someone echoed, "Mr. Huo, don't blame me for speaking harshly."

"We believe in you, and that's why we believe that you have been controlling the direction of the Huo family from this position."

"But today's matter——"

This hesitant tone was quickly picked up by the next person. "With the stock price falling like this, Huo's losses in one day alone are astronomical!"

As long as someone starts the conversation, the rest of the words will naturally flow out of everyone's mouth smoothly.

The originally quiet conference room seemed vaguely noisy like a vegetable market at this moment.

Countless gazes were piercing Huo Yichen's body like knives. On the surface, they wanted Huo Yichen to give an explanation, but in fact, their hidden purposes were impure.

Huo's position as president has been coveted by many people for a long time.

However, it was smooth sailing after Huo Yichen took over before, and nothing went wrong. This time something like this happened suddenly. Although we haven't found out who was responsible, everyone here is familiar with taking advantage of the chaos.

"Everyone." Huo Yichen said amidst the sounds of questioning.

The conference room suddenly became quiet because of this sound.

Huo Yichen put his hands on the table, his eyes so cold that he seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts, passing over everyone's face.

He took his time and said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. At the same time, I feel the same way about Huo as everyone does at the moment."

"As for the drop in stock prices, I will also give corresponding strategies to recover losses. I also hope that some people will not be deceived by the wind and see the wind as rain——"

With one against many, Huo Yichen did not fall behind at all in the conference room.

In just a few words, Ye Zhen saw that Huo Yichen had no objection to the board members who were trying to make trouble.

But this matter must still be thoroughly investigated, and quality control is definitely not an excuse for people to die.

I dare not say anything else, but Huo Yichen's quality control is what Huo Yichen requires the most, and it is also what he feels most at ease with.

As online public opinion became increasingly arrogant, Huo also issued a corresponding announcement.

But it couldn't dampen the "enthusiasm" of netizens. Almost as soon as the announcement came out, a bunch of people crowded underneath and started to swipe the screen in various rhythms.

This matter made a big fuss, so Murong Qiao, who was still in the company, called Huo Yichen as soon as he saw it.

"Achen? How are you doing there? I looked online -" Murong Qiao asked worriedly as soon as the call was connected.

Huo Yichen's expression, which was originally as if he was walking on thin ice, melted instantly when he heard Murong Qiao's voice coming from the other end of the phone.

His slow voice actually comforted his girlfriend. "I'm already letting people handle it, don't worry."

When a person dies, he must be compensated and dealt with, but Huo Yichen himself knows this well.

"Is everything okay?" Murong Qiao frowned.

CG was exposed to the entertainment industry, and Murong Qiao knew as much about the turbulent public opinions on the Internet as anyone else. Now that she saw something happened to Huo, she immediately called him.

Huo Yichen naturally didn't want Murong Qiao to worry. "Um."

In order to prevent Murong Qiao from focusing on this aspect, Huo Yichen simply changed the topic.

"Are you going home tonight?" he asked.

Since he went to An Nuo's house last time, Huo Yichen stayed alone in the "empty boudoir" for three days.

Murong Qiao nodded directly, "Go back, I'll get off work on time tonight."

After such a thing happened, how could she still go to Annuo's house to stay.

Just listening to the voice on the phone couldn't tell anything. Murong Qiao was still a little worried about where he was, so he hung up the phone after a few words with Huo Yichen and prepared to pack up and go back after get off work.

The sky gradually fades, and the blue color disappears as time goes by, replaced by the after-get off work dusk that is the favorite of migrant workers.

Murong Qiao and Jiang Chi spoke to each other and prepared to go home. However, as soon as they left the office door, they saw people gathering in twos and threes in the employee area, seemingly discussing something.

Out of concern for the employee's condition, Murong Qiao glanced at his watch and saw that there was still time, so he walked lightly and walked over.

"Hey, have you paid attention to the award ceremony recently? I'm planning to watch the live broadcast that night. Maybe the winner will be my goddess!"

"I'm sure, I haven't missed a day of surfing the Internet, but I'm more concerned about the rumor before. Didn't it say that Director Zhang is planning to start shooting a new movie? I like his work very much!"

"I didn't even mention the horoscope, and I didn't even say anything."

"What if it happens? Director Zhang hasn't published a work for a long time. I even think that it won't be a series in my lifetime... If it really comes out this time, I will definitely support it with both hands and feet!"

"No, I think the awards are more reliable. At least the news will start in about ten days. If nothing else, I am very optimistic about our company."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Murong Qiao was about to ask for more detailed information, but the elevator sounded a warning tone that it had reached the current floor, which stopped Murong Qiao in his tracks.

Thinking of Huo Yichen, Murong Qiao entered the elevator directly.

She had something on her mind, so she was naturally not as comfortable as usual on the way home. She even opened the door in a hurry when she came home.

The moment the door of the huge room was opened, a scent of fragrance reached Murong Qiao's nose, arousing people's appetite.

Beans stewed until tender are used as a complement to the pork belly. The alluring aroma of the seasoned sauce bursts out at high temperatures and fills the kitchen. There are even some potato chunks with a dense texture.

Just by smelling it, the corresponding ingredients appeared in Murong Qiao's mind.

The tension in my heart suddenly disappeared without a trace because of this smell, and what emerged next was peace of mind and tranquility after returning home.
