Mr. Hodder shrugged, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and sighed.
"It seems that what Mi Xiu said is right, their junior sister is the most heartless."
Michu, Hodder's great apprentice, is now the operations director of Fansite Jewelry. Due to some matters at the headquarters, he will not come to Los Angeles tomorrow.
"Teacher, do you want to be as sentimental as Michu?"
To be disliked by such a playboy, Mo Yurou might as well say some bad words.
After hearing this, Huo De smiled heartily again. It was obvious that he loved Mo Yurou very much.
The next day, which was also Christmas Eve, Asia's largest jewelry exhibition kicked off. On this day, Mo Yurou was particularly busy. Fortunately, Huo De took into account Mo Yurou's physical condition and arranged for an assistant to casually.
Yurou is only responsible for communicating with her partner’s ex-wife.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the ribbon was cut for the opening of the exhibition. As the most important exhibitor of this year, Hodder received a grand welcome.
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Mo Yurou, who was originally going to go in for cutting, sat in the audience because of a leg injury.
To the left of Mr. Hodder is Xiao Zichen, president of Sino-Ocean Group, representing the largest local jeweler.
This man is as handsome and handsome as ever. Today he is wearing a silver-gray suit with a red and blue striped tie. He is calm and restrained. His sword-shaped eyebrows and stern eyes reveal a touch of coldness, and his own sense of alienation is reflected in the surrounding people.
No one dared to come close.
Mo Yurou looked at the man on the stage in a daze. Even if she hadn't seen him for so long, seeing him again was amazing. She couldn't help but cast her eyes on Xiao Zichen, just like when they first met him.
"Dong Mo."
Jiang Yucheng also came to the opening ceremony, and Yaohua Group, one of the organizers, would also come on stage for tailoring. Jiang Yucheng came over just to say hello to Mo Yurou.
Hearing the voice, Mo Yurou came back to her senses, put away her eyes, and calmed down, still blaming herself for the frank look in her eyes just now.
Jiang Yucheng said hello and went on stage, while Mo Yurou looked around boredly.
Jiang Moyao was sitting not far from her. At this time, Jiang Moyao was looking at Xiao Zichen on the stage lovingly, and inadvertently brushed her long hair beside her ears.
Mo Yurou saw the ring on Jiang Moyao's hand. Wasn't it the same ring that the media had revealed that Xiao Zichen proposed to Jiang Moyao like him?
She had prepared the ring when she and Xiao Zichen got married. Except for Xiao Zichen wearing it at the wedding, Xiao Zichen had never worn the ring. Later, they divorced, and Xiao Zichen also left the ring in Haotianju.
Jiang Moyao seemed to be aware of Mo Yurou's eyes. He turned around gracefully and met Mo Yurou's somewhat sad gaze. He raised his eyebrows lightly, with strong provocation and the pride of a winner.
More than two years ago, she seemed to be facing Jiang Moyao as a winner, but at that time she thought she was a winner. In fact, she had always been a loser.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony lasted for more than an hour. After it was over, Mo Yurou came to Mr. Huo De and was about to take a look at their exhibition area when Xiao Zichen came over.
Today's Mo Yurou was more intellectual than the previous two days. Today she let her long hair down, put on light makeup, and wore a light purple dress, giving her a bit more soft beauty.
The moment Xiao Zichen saw Mo Yurou, his eyes brightened slightly, but then he regained his composure.
Mo Yurou was still sitting in a wheelchair today, staying quietly beside Mr. Hodder, which was not out of the ordinary at all.
"How's your leg?"
Unexpectedly, the first words she said when they met were words of concern. If it had been a year ago, Mo Yurou would have shed tears of excitement, but now, except for a slight tremor in her heart, there was no change on her face.
Mo Yurou put on a faint smile, cast a grateful look at Xiao Zichen, and said with a sense of alienation.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your concern."
After saying that, Mo Yurou turned around and looked at Mr. Hodder and said.
"Teacher, I'm going to the booth first."
Mr. Huo De saw that Mo Yurou was deliberately avoiding Xiao Zichen, so he nodded, and then Mo Yurou left here.
Xiao Zichen's eyes actually followed the direction Mo Yurou left, until Jiang Moyao came over.
"Zi Chen."
Jiang Moyao hugged Xiao Zichen very naturally, then looked at Mr. Hodder with a professional smile, and extended his hand to say hello very respectfully.
"Mr. Hodder, I am Jiang Moyao, the design director of Dora Jewelry. This time Dora Jewelry very much hopes to get Mr. Hodder's co-signed design, and I also hope that Mr. Hodder can give us a chance."
Winning the joint cooperation is Jiang Moyao's only purpose here.
Ever since she became the design director of Dora Jewelry, the people below have been talking a lot. In addition, the several series she launched in succession have not made much splash, which has made the company doubt her ability. Now she must make achievements.
to prove one's strength.
If it weren't for Mo Yurou, Huo De wouldn't know Jiang Mo Yao at all, and because of Mo Yurou, Huo De wouldn't have a good impression of Jiang Mo Yao.
Although matters of love cannot be forced, Mr. Hodder is an extremely defensive person, especially after knowing some of the entanglements involved, he doesn't like the woman in front of him.
Jiang Moyao's hand was hanging in the air, but Huo De had no intention of shaking hands. Instead, he looked at Xiao Zichen and said.
"Mr. Xiao, please contact my assistant about cooperation. We can set a time and we can sit down and talk slowly. Sorry, let's take a step first."
After saying that, Hodder left the opening ceremony and walked into the convention and exhibition center.
"Zi Chen, what exactly is Mr. Hodder thinking? Look at his attitude just now. He shows no sincerity in cooperation at all."
As soon as Huo De left, Jiang Moyao complained. She was embarrassed in front of her beloved, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Xiao Zichen patted Jiang Moyao's hand and said something.
"Don't think too much. Vansite Jewelry is also here to participate in the exhibition this time. Mr. Hodder must have more things to do, but isn't there a dinner party tonight? Let's talk about it then! Okay, let's go to the booth to have a look first. I hope
This exhibition will allow Dora jewelry to go out of Asia."
Xiao Zichen said calmly. After speaking, he didn't care about Jiang Moyao's mood at this time, turned around and walked into the venue.
Being so left out, Jiang Moyao felt even more depressed, but when she saw that Xiao Zichen had no intention of waiting for her, she had no choice but to catch up in a hurry.
"Zi Chen, do I also want to go to the dinner party tonight?"
"Of course, you are the director of Dora Jewelry, and you are more familiar with the jewelry industry than I am."
Hearing what Xiao Zichen said, Jiang Moyao suddenly felt confident again, holding Xiao Zichen's arm, and said confidently.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help the company win the joint cooperation with Vansite."
"I have always had confidence in you, let's go, you will have to work harder these days."
Feeling that Xiao Zichen took him seriously, the dark clouds from before instantly dissipated.
It was approaching noon, and Mr. Hodder was reluctant to let Mo Yurou work hard at the venue and directly ordered her to go back and rest.
"Yurou, it's almost time. Leave this to Mike. You can go back and rest!"
Mike, Hodder's real assistant.
"Teacher, I'm not tired. You see there are so many things here, I can share some of them if I stay."
Mo Yurou didn't want to go back. She liked to be busy so that she wouldn't have random thoughts.
"Mo Yurou, be obedient. Go back now. You have to accompany me to the dinner party tonight. If you don't rest, your body won't be able to bear it."
"Ah, dinner, teacher, isn't Mike going?"
Mo Yurou was a little surprised. The teacher should have known that she didn't like to socialize. Moreover, at the dinner party, a group of men were drinking. When she got there, she couldn't accompany the drinks and create an atmosphere. She might have to be taken care of by others.
But Hodder had obviously made his decision long ago.
"Mike has to go to the airport to pick up Michelle and will be back later. Do you want me, a foreigner, to deal with them? You also know that my Chinese is not good."
Hodder sold out immediately.
Yes, Mo Yurou was embarrassed to refuse now. She knew that there was some intentional element in this, but it was hard for Mo Yurou to expose it.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work here, Teacher. I'll go back and rest first. See you in the evening."
"See you tonight."
After that, Mo Yurou left the convention and exhibition center.
On the first day of the exhibition, only professional visitors were open. Several entrances and exits were sealed. Mo Yurou came to the only exit. When she saw the densely erected iron pillars and looked at her wide wheelchair, she felt a little embarrassed.
.
It was already past the entry peak and it was lunch time. There were not many service staff at the entrance, and they were all far away from Mo Yurou.
Mo Yurou looked at the long and narrow passage about thirty meters away, looked at the wheelchair under her, and sighed softly.
It would be okay if she didn't have a wheelchair. She only used the wheelchair these two days to prevent the burden on her left leg. Walking would be no problem.
The key is that the wheelchair under her body is electric and custom-made. It weighs more than 40 kilograms. With Mo Yurou's current body, she cannot lift it at all.
Mo Yurou thought for a moment and was about to call a service person from a distance to help, when a familiar voice came from behind her.
"Want to go back?"
Mo Yurou paused and turned around. Xiao Zichen was walking towards this side like a gentle breeze. Mo Yurou just glanced at him and quickly came to his senses.
"Are you going back?"
Seeing that Mo Yurou didn't answer, Xiao Zichen spoke again.
Mo Yurou nodded and then controlled the wheelchair to leave.
"I'll help you."
"ah?"
Before Mo Yurou could react, Xiao Zichen directly picked up Mo Yurou and walked through the long and narrow aisle.
"Hey, put me down. I can walk by myself. Mr. Xiao just needs to help me get the wheelchair."
Mo Yurou didn't want to have too much involvement with Xiao Zichen, especially such an intimate act. Her calm heart could no longer be disturbed by these things.
"That night at the hospital, I heard the doctor say that your legs should rest more."
After hearing this, Mo Yurou didn't know whether she should be happy or angry. When she once longed for this man's attention, he didn't even give her a look, but now she was so considerate. What did he want?
