Chapter 138: Viper
“Hein Corporation…” Si Huan muttered the name a few times without any surprise.
Huo Tian leaned on the armrest of Si Huan’s chair and poked his arm. After successfully attracting Si Huan’s attention, she asked curiously, “I think this name sounds a little familiar. Have we heard it somewhere before?”
Si Huan explained warmly, “Do you remember He Yu, who wanted to kick you and Bi Ying out of school? He is the CEO of Hein Corporation.”
“So it’s him.” Huo Tian came to a realization, then she frowned and revealed a disgusted expression. “I don’t like this person.”
After having gotten used to hypocritical social events, it had been very long since Si Huan last saw a person who would vividly display their likes and dislikes. He could not help but smile at Huo Tian’s true nature.
“Then ignore him. He’s just a shameless person,” Si Huan said indifferently.
The next moment, the lounge door was pushed open and a face that Huo Tian hated appeared at the door.
He Yu’s expression was as arrogant as usual. He pretended to be surprised. “I was wondering why I didn’t see the Si Family’s members, but it turns out that everyone is hiding here. As the host, it’s not good for you to leave your guests while you come here to idle.”
Si Huan said, “As the saying goes, the guests should respect the host’s arrangements. As a guest, it’s not that good for Mr. He to be walking around freely in someone else’s house either.”
He Yu shrugged nonchalantly. “I’m sorry, I didn’t want to disturb everyone’s mood either. However, I heard someone talking about me. As the person involved, I have the right to know if you’re talking bad about me. Isn’t that right?”
Si Huan gave a fake smile. “Mr. He, you’re here at the right time. You were just brought up in our conversation and I was just about to get someone to invite Mr. He over.”
He Yu was very shameless. “This means that I have telepathy with everyone and that we’re very suitable to be partners.”
The Si Family’s members probably didn’t expect He Yu to reveal his true motive so directly. They were all wearing shocked or doubtful expressions.
However, Si Huan had some understanding of He Yu’s style of doing things. He was a person who would stop at nothing for his own interests. He had never bothered to conceal his despicable and shameless side.
Hence, he didn’t feel nervous or angry at all. He only rejected indifferently, “I’m sorry, Mr. He. I don’t think there’s a possibility for us to work together.”
He Yu asked, “Young Master Si is so confident that it makes me curious about your reason for rejecting me.”
“Our personalities don’t match.” Si Huan knew that He Yu had deliberately called him Young Master Si in order to suppress him first in terms of status. However, he didn’t take this petty trick to heart and only smiled half-heartedly.
“Mr. He doesn’t like me, the ‘young master’ who hasn’t graduated from high school. I also look down on the CEO of a corporation who tried to use all means to force two high school students to drop out of school. Oh, I forgot to add that you, the CEO of the corporation, still failed in the end.”
The pretentious smile on He Yu’s face vanished completely at that moment. His eyes turned gloomy as he glared at Si Huan coldly for a long while. Si Huan met his gaze calmly without any intention of backing off.1
There was a suffocating silence.
He Yu suddenly laughed. “Hahahaha… Si Huan, I used to think that you’re someone who isn’t good with words. I didn’t expect you to be so glib-tongued. This is really surprising…”
He laughed alone for a long time as if he had gone crazy. Then, he suddenly stopped laughing.
His cold gaze was like some kind of cold-blooded animal, fixated on Si Huan. “Si Huan, I admit that I had some misunderstandings about your personality previously, but I won’t give up on my plan.”
He Yu walked to the opposite side of Si Huan and stood in the middle of a group of Si Family’s members. Surrounded by them, even though his surname was He, he looked like he was their relative.
He Yu also felt that this scene of complete isolation would be enough to deal a blow to Si Huan. He stood up and looked down at Si Huan, who was sitting leisurely on a chair. “Si Huan, I’ve already infiltrated your new energy project. From the investors with the same surname as you to the researchers who spent all their time in the laboratory, they’ve already reached a secret agreement with me. If you know what’s good for you, you should transfer the project equipment and materials to me. At least you’ll be able to get some compensation then. If you continue to be so obstinate, you can just go to a corner and cry while hugging the project that has to be dropped midway.
He carefully observed Si Huan’s expression, but could only see calmness on Si Huan’s face. There wasn’t even a hint of anxiousness or nervousness in his eyes. This made He Yu couldn’t help but sigh emotionally. Although Si Huan was still too young and his methods were too immature, he was already able to remain unperturbed in terms of emotional management. Given time, Si Huan would definitely be his strong opponent.
Fortunately, too many of Si Huan’s wings were ruthlessly broken before he could become truly powerful…
He Yu couldn’t help but feel smug again. He sighed and said hypocritically. “Si Huan, it’s all your fault for being too young and viewing love with too much importance. That’s why you easily exposed your weakness…”
