Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Councilor Ding was astonished to hear this. On the other hand, Xie looked calm as though it was an everyday affair. Although he did not know what happened, he made sure not to let it show on his face. "Do you really think Miss Huo is good for nothing?"

Councilor Ding looked at Xie. After some time, he cleared his throat and said, "To be honest, people keep telling me she is."

Otherwise, why else would he ask Huo Wanying to help a couple of days ago?

"Councilor Ding, we shouldn't always believe rumors," said Xie in concern. "See? Don't we have Miss Huo to thank for making it alive?"

Councilor Ding thought about his recent interaction with Huo Yao. It was true that she was quite different from what the elders had mentioned.

For a start, she certainly did not look like a cocky and rude woman.

"I was judgmental."

Councilor Ding smiled sadly. He could sense waves of pain coming from his belly. He closed his eyes thinking about the contract signing tomorrow and could not help feeling worried. "I'm more worried about holding up the contract signing tomorrow."

After all, if he showed up to the contract signing in this state he was in, the other party would not empathize and might even think it was a sign of disrespect.

If they were unable to close the deal, he would do a disservice to Master Jinfeng and implicate Miss Huo's union assignment outcome…

Considering this, Councilor Ding looked at Xie and said, "Pass me your phone. I'm going to call back and see if anyone else can take over."

If someone else could come over now, they would still be in time for the contract signing.

Xie understood Councilor Ding's concerns. He nodded, took out his phone, and handed it to Councilor Ding.

Councilor Ding first called a few elders. When he failed to get a positive response, he could only call some other councilors he knew. In the end, people kept avoiding him or refusing to help.

Councilor Ding put down his phone looking very annoyed.

"Did no one want to come?" Xie already guessed the outcome looking at Councilor Ding's reaction.

Councilor Ding said nothing and simply punched the bed in frustration.

"If the elders really wanted to make it easy for Miss Huo to pass the test, they wouldn't have assigned this task to her," said Xie in a mocking tone.

To this day, he did not understand why the chief steward did not stop them when this happened. This did not seem like his style at all.

Councilor Ding pressed the injury on his belly and inhaled deeply. "Prepare more bandages for me. I will do my best to help Miss Huo secure the deal."

Xie parted his lips wanting to say something, but ended up simply replying. "Okay."

Someone had clearly plotted for this to happen. Why else would a small bomb get planted on the road on their way to Sangry Town to target Councilor Ding and Miss Huo's car specifically?

The culprit did not realize that Miss Huo had gotten off the car halfway and even Councilor Ding managed to survive.

Xie sighed. He suddenly detected someone's presence and turned to look at the door.

They saw Huo Yao standing at the door with her hands in her pockets. She looked tall and slender dressed in a dark coat, giving off a cool powerful aura.

She had been standing there for an unknown length of time.

Xie was stunned to see her and automatically stood up from his seat.

Huo Yao slowly walked over. She could smell blood in the air. She glanced at Xie and Councilor Ding. "I thought we're just here to sign a contract, right? We don't have to wait for tomorrow."

Her voice sounded calm as though she was talking about the weather. Xie and Councilor Ding were still in a daze from seeing her. Huo Yao took out her phone and called someone. "You have ten minutes to send the Huo family's contract over."
