Chapter 5: The Fish Bites the Hook but Then Gets Away

Huo Linsheng's cold look was intimidating.

Ling Nuan felt nervous. Her legs trembled slightly, but she still managed to look calm.

"Mr. Huo, have you misunderstood something?" Ling Nuan still wore a smile. "It's true that I want to seduce you, but the position of the secretary to the president of Huo Group is also very appealing to me. I participated in the interview through the normal process. Do you doubt my ability or the recruitment ability of your subordinates?"

"Oh? Are you saying that you can separate personal feelings from work?" Huo Linsheng asked.

"Yes," Ling Nuan replied. "During work, I will always remember my identity and won't do anything that goes against the rules of an employee. Mr. Huo, you can rest assured."

Huo Linsheng sat up straight. His fingertips landed on the shirt button on Ling Nuan's chest and deftly undid it, revealing the charming scenery under the fabric.

"Then what are you doing now?" Huo Linsheng asked.

Ling Nuan stood up straight and fastened the undone button again. "It was you who brought up personal matters first, Mr. Huo."

She put on her standard smile again, with a respectful attitude, and instantly entered the work mode.

"Mr. Huo, did you call me here for something?" Ling Nuan asked, as if the little episode in the middle had never happened.

Huo Linsheng looked at Ling Nuan with a half - smile.

Ling Nuan felt nervous.

Huo Linsheng was only interested in her body and had no intention of being used by her. But if it weren't for revenge, she would be crazy to offer herself up to be slept with without a proper name!

She couldn't agree to Huo Linsheng's condition of cutting off all ties with Shen Shaoqing. She could only increase the stakes to make Huo Linsheng interested enough in her.

After a moment, a glint of amusement flashed in Huo Linsheng's eyes. "Congratulations. You've passed the interview."

Ling Nuan felt slightly relieved.

People all like to be different, and Huo Linsheng was no exception. This time, she should have...

"By the way, Secretary Ling, I forgot to tell you that I don't date people from my own company." Huo Linsheng added slowly, with a strong sense of watching a good show.

Ling Nuan: "..."

Ling Nuan had dug her own grave.

She did manage to get into Huo Group and became a member of Huo Linsheng's secretary team, but her relationship with Huo Linsheng was even worse than at the beginning!

During work, they dealt with things professionally.

After work, as soon as Huo Linsheng left, Ling Nuan immediately followed.

Before she could catch up, Huo Linsheng's half - smiling gaze fell on her. "Sorry, I have an appointment tonight."

Ling Nuan kept silent.

Huo Linsheng asked her again, "Does Secretary Ling like threesomes?"

"Mr. Huo, you like to joke. Have a nice trip, Mr. Huo."

Finally, Ling Nuan caught Huo Linsheng in a bar when he was slightly drunk. She seized the opportunity and got closer.

Before she could touch Huo Linsheng, someone grabbed her wrist and kindly reminded her, "Secretary Ling, it's not easy to find a job these days, and it's even harder to find a good one. Don't waste it."

Since she couldn't take advantage of Huo Linsheng when he was vulnerable, Ling Nuan changed her plan and created an opportunity for Huo Linsheng to take advantage of her.

She pretended to be drunk and fell into Huo Linsheng's arms.

Huo Linsheng glanced at her casually and then casually pushed her to a passing strange man.

"Do you want to pick up a drunk girl?"

Ling Nuan was so angry that she jumped out of the strange man's arms.

The strange man looked blank. "Beauty, you're not drunk?"

"Get lost!" Ling Nuan angrily threw out a sentence and turned around to leave.

Huo Linsheng watched Ling Nuan leave with a smile. Then he turned around and met a pair of teasing eyes.

"This girl is really hot. Why don't you develop something with her?" The strange man, who was Huo Linsheng's friend Xu Shichen, joked.

Huo Linsheng glanced at him. "Are you that idle?"

Xu Shichen put his arm around Huo Linsheng's shoulder and said earnestly, "Look at you. You're not young anymore. If you don't find a woman soon, I'm afraid you'll turn into a pervert."

"Get out of here."

Xu Shichen immediately made a gesture of zipping his mouth, but his eyes looked in the direction Ling Nuan left, and he said with a look of watching a good show.

"This girl is good - looking. Once she's in this place, it's like a lamb in a den of wolves. Linsheng, are you really not going to take care of her?"

"Stop being so noisy." Huo Linsheng was cold and left without looking back, as if he didn't care at all.

Ling Nuan angrily returned to the bar counter.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. After drinking the cocktail the bartender served in one gulp, it wasn't enough. She knocked the glass on the table. "One more!"

Ling Nuan's drinking capacity was not bad, but in order to make the act more realistic, she had already drunk a lot when she fell into Huo Linsheng's arms. Now, being angry and drinking a few more glasses, the after - effect of the cocktail kicked in, and her head started to feel dizzy.

Noticing this, Ling Nuan immediately stopped. Keeping her last bit of sanity, she prepared to leave this place full of trouble.

But before she could take two steps, a sleazy man blocked her way.

"Beauty, let's make friends."

Ling Nuan frowned. "Not interested. Get out of the way."

But the man stepped forward instead of backing off.

"Beauty, you're not giving me face? Do you know who I am? It's an honor for me to want to be friends with you." As he said, he grabbed Ling Nuan and pushed her back to the bar counter.

"Get out of here!" Ling Nuan was a bit annoyed.

However, her strength was no match for the man's.

The man firmly pressed her in front of the bar counter, then picked up a glass of wine and brought it to Ling Nuan's lips.

"Beauty, have a drink. If you do, I'll let you go." The man said with a smile, his lecherous eyes scanning Ling Nuan's body back and forth, clearly revealing his purpose.

He just wanted to get Ling Nuan drunk and sleep with her.

"I won't drink. Get out of here!" Ling Nuan was angry and warned, "My boyfriend will come soon."

The man sneered. "Boyfriend? Beauty, I've been watching you for a long time. You've been drinking alone here. Do you think you can fool me? You're still too naive." Saying that, he brought the wine closer to Ling Nuan's lips and forced her, "Drink."

The forced action was interrupted by an external force.

The man was yanked and staggered, and the glass fell to the ground.

"Who the hell are you?" The man sat on the ground and shouted at the person who yanked him.

Huo Linsheng looked at the man coldly. "Didn't you hear her say 'get out'?"

The man was about to say something else when the sudden appearance of the security guards directly carried him out.

Huo Linsheng turned to look at Ling Nuan.

"Huo Linsheng." Ling Nuan gave him a relieved smile, and then fainted directly.

Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, Huo Linsheng stepped forward. Ling Nuan fell into his arms.

Before completely losing consciousness, Ling Nuan's lips curled slightly.

"The fish has bitten the hook."

To deceive Huo Linsheng, Ling Nuan really went all out.

She really drank and really got drunk.

Xu Shichen came up with a gossipy look and joked, "Some people are really stubborn with their words, but their bodies are quite honest."

Huo Linsheng ignored him and carried Ling Nuan out horizontally.

Xu Shichen didn't follow at first. Looking at Huo Linsheng, he sighed with emotion, "Sure enough, the longer you live, the more you'll see."

"What are you standing there for? Follow me." Huo Linsheng's voice suddenly came.

Xu Shichen was stunned for a moment and subconsciously replied, "Coming."

After catching up with Huo Linsheng, he realized, "Why did you call me?"

Was this the time when he, a third - party, needed to be a light - bulb?

Huo Linsheng just gave Xu Shichen a meaningful look and replied, "Go to your place."

Xu Shichen: "?"

Huo Linsheng curled his lips. "I'll give you a romantic encounter."
