Chapter 215
In Hei Huo Mian's office, Hei Huo Mian looked at Li You who followed him into the office and closed the door. He took the tablet handed to him and checked the key points reported by the other party during the meeting just now.
"In the past half month, Qichu has been unusually calm. According to intelligence:
All the ghost soldiers suddenly disappeared half a month ago, and there has been no news since then."
"There are rumors that it was you, Emperor Ming, who invited other committee members to participate in the investigation and supervision in the name of 'fairness, justice and openness', which led to Qi Chu being temporarily suspended and dismissed due to the impact of this series of events. As a result, the strongest opponent in the election was easily eliminated." Li You glanced at Hei Huomian and added:
"——From this, we can infer that you are the culprit who secretly framed Qi Chu."
"There's even a rumor going around in the underworld:
The rumors about the so-called ghost soldiers around the underworld were actually rumors that you, the Underworld Emperor, had secretly gathered the ghost soldiers in an attempt to overthrow the election system and become the Underworld Emperor for life. The rumors were only pushed onto Qi Chu after the truth was revealed."
Li You frowned and hesitated, glancing at Hei Huo Mian two or three times before he spoke word by word:
"Could this be Qi Chu's strategy of using stillness to control movement and retreating to advance?"
The leader of the secret guards nodded in agreement and slowly tested the situation:
"Emperor Hades, there is a saying that goes 'the calm before the storm'. Should we declare a state of emergency immediately?"
At the same time, at the meeting of the Mingxin Department.
The other department managers, some of whom believed that Bai Shuiru won the design competition championship by improper means, saw Hei Huomian leave without warning and regarded this as dissatisfaction with Bai Shuiru's design and a loss of face for their chairman, so they immediately took the opportunity to ridicule Bai Shuiru:
"Even the chairman can't stand your idea."
"It's not new to use hair as a token of love. There is a category of 'mourning jewellery' and 'funeral jewellery' in Western jewellery, which is designed to commemorate deceased relatives and lovers. During the reign of Queen Victoria, the popularity of mourning jewellery reached its peak. Do you want a Renaissance?" A manager shook his head with a mocking look on his face:
"But~, you also have to consider our traditional culture of Biluo Country. The Yin and Yang are separated, and people go their separate ways... Tsk, it always seems a bit unlucky."
"You are not a professional, so you don't have much common sense~!"
"Last year, our country also proposed to use the traditional culture of tying the hair during marriage, combined with laboratory-grown gems, to grow diamond rings unique to the couple using their hair."
"Indeed, 'mourning jewelry' and 'funeral jewelry' are only available as hidden items for customers to customize, but I am talking about our vast 'living' market. If you braid your hair into traditional Chinese knots, such as a love knot, you may be able to win the favor of lovers." Bai Shuiru insisted on her own design, explaining calmly:
"You know, although hair looks very fragile on the surface, compared to other human organs, it can still be preserved for at least fifty years under the same natural changes in temperature, humidity, etc., and it can resist many kinds of acids and corrosive chemicals unless burned. Not to mention being sealed in a pendant?"
"Compared to teeth, which are obviously bone-like and can easily make people feel fear of death and disability, hair is obviously warmer and easier to regenerate, making it the perfect token of love between lovers."
"With the chairman's vision and perspective, wouldn't you have thought of these so-called creative ideas of yours?"
"This idea of mine has already been accepted..."
Just as Bai Shuiru was about to explain, the door to the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and someone walked in, raised his voice of approval and replied:
"I think this idea of 'tying the knot' is both traditional and innovative. Young people in our country now not only appreciate their country's traditional culture, but are also very willing to explore and inherit it. So I think this design is very conducive to promoting traditional culture, and it will also bring a good reputation to our Ming Xin Group."
"Make a model according to this idea and let the facts explain everything." Hei Huomian's aura of "no strangers allowed in" became more and more full, and he swept everyone present decisively. Finally, after contacting and communicating with Bai Shuiru, he signaled:
"Continue the meeting to the next item."
Why do I always feel like there's something weird about Hei Huo Mian?
Bai Shuiru had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were always looking up and down at the other person.
Got it!
Bai Shuiru's eyes lit up, and her gaze finally stopped at Hei Huomian's lips:
Those were tiger teeth, even sharper than a vampire's fangs.
It's a clone!
Could it be that the Underworld has another urgent matter and wants Hei Huomian to attend the meeting?
At the same time, in the high-level meeting room of the underworld.
The ten kings of hell took turns to appeal with great emotion, but the theme kept coming back to the same theme:
"Emperor Ming, the most urgent thing is to clarify that this matter has nothing to do with you, otherwise it will inevitably affect your candidacy."
Humph, you are only pretending to be loyal to me again because your backer has fallen.
Hei Huomian lowered his eyes and leisurely scraped the tea foam in the tea bowl. His sunglasses and thick long eyelashes successfully concealed all the sarcasm in his eyes:
"I have not yet decided whether to run for re-election as the next Hades Emperor. This incident has given me a good opportunity to announce:
Give up running for re-election.”
The Ten Kings of Hell looked at each other, and soon returned to their previous noisy behavior:
"We object! Even if you don't care about yourself, you have to care about the peace of this place and the reincarnation of the 4 million people in this place after being punished."
"Even so, Pang Piao will think that your announcement of giving up the election is just a pretense, and that you are already gathering troops and will be the Hades once the event is accomplished."
Hei Huomian took a sip of hot tea and said, "I've made up my mind. Let's adjourn." The moment he put the teacup back on the table, he instantly disappeared.
King Qin Guang suddenly put the thermos cup on the table and cursed:
"Bastard!"
"Then what do we do now?"
"Hmph!" When King Qin Guang heard his phone vibrate, he picked it up to check for new messages, then put the phone down on the table with a "pop". "He made the decision long ago, and even prepared the draft, 'The current Hades Emperor has announced his withdrawal from the election, who will be the next Hades Emperor?' What else can we do?!"
"Could it be..."
