Ling Nuan's direct superior was Zhao Ran.
Fang Chao didn't go to assign the tasks in person but left it to Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran placed a stack of files on Ling Nuan's desk. "You guys divide these projects and be in charge of your own parts. Ling Nuan is new here. You can choose first."
Ling Nuan was suspicious.
Before she could figure it out, she caught sight of the words "Qingnuan Technology" clearly written on the top file and was stunned for a moment.
Why did she go to great lengths to get into the Huo Corporation and become Huo Linsheng's secretary?
One reason was to get close to Huo Linsheng, but she didn't pin all her hopes on him.
Shen Shaoqing got together with Huo Xiao not because she fancied Huo Xiao's wealth but because of the Huo Corporation behind her. Shen Shaoqing's Qingnuan Technology wanted to ride on the coattails of the Huo Corporation.
If she became Huo Linsheng's secretary, over time, she would surely get in touch with the company's core projects, including the cooperation case between Qingnuan Technology and the Huo Corporation.
The long - awaited opportunity was right in front of her. Ling Nuan was indeed tempted for a moment.
But it was just a moment.
After skimming through the general content of these files, Ling Nuan picked the one she wanted and then passed the files to her colleagues.
Fang Chao informed Huo Linsheng of Ling Nuan's choice immediately.
Huo Linsheng wasn't surprised. He let out a laugh. "She's quite shrewd."
Fang Chao felt there was some big drama here, but he didn't quite understand it.
"Where is she? Ask her to come in," Huo Linsheng instructed.
Hearing this, Fang Chao replied, "Mr. Huo, Ling Nuan has gone to the Personnel Department to ask for leave."
"Ask for leave? Is she not feeling well?" Huo Linsheng immediately thought of her cold.
"Probably. She said she was going to the hospital," Fang Chao answered.
Huo Linsheng fell into deep thought.
...
Ling Nuan specifically asked for leave to pick up her grandma from the hospital.
When Huang Sheng found out, she insisted on coming to help.
After they completed the discharge procedures and were on their way back to the ward, they heard voices coming from inside before they even entered.
"Mom, this is Shaoqing's fiancée. Don't they make a perfect couple, a handsome man and a beautiful woman?" Zhao Shuting flattered as she spoke to Grandma Xun.
The words made Ling Nuan's face change.
She rushed into the ward quickly.
Grandma Xun was sitting on a wheelchair with a gloomy face. Xun Yao and Zhao Shuting were beside the old lady. There was also an uninvited guest sitting on the sofa.
Huo Xiao.
"Xun Yao, what are you guys up to again!" Ling Nuan was almost crazy with anger.
She quickly stepped forward, pushed Xun Yao and Zhao Shuting aside, and squatted in front of Grandma Xun.
"Grandma, are you okay?" Ling Nuan asked worriedly.
Grandma Xun had suffered a fit of rage this time. Being old, she had some minor health problems. This outburst of anger had brought out all the hidden health issues.
Fortunately, Aunt Wang, the neighbor, had helped and sent her to the hospital in time.
Her life had been saved, but the doctor had repeatedly warned that the old lady needed to rest quietly. A few more bouts of anger and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Ling Nuan wished she could kill Xun Yao and his wife.
Grandma Xun, who had been gloomy - faced, showed a faint smile when she saw Ling Nuan. She took Ling Nuan's hand. "Nuan Nuan, grandma is okay. Let's go home."
Ling Nuan nodded and got up to push Grandma Xun's wheelchair.
Huang Sheng immediately picked up the luggage that had been prepared.
Huo Xiao sat calmly on the sofa, smiling as she watched Ling Nuan walk out.
She didn't stop them. Her tone was as casual as if she were crushing an ant on the roadside. "Ling Nuan, this is not the end."
Ling Nuan stopped and turned to look at Huo Xiao. She still had her wits about her. She first gave Huang Sheng a look.
Huang Sheng understood and pushed Grandma Xun away first.
Huo Xiao didn't stop them. She just looked at Ling Nuan. "I really hate it when others covet what's mine. If there's a next time, I don't know if your dear grandma can take it."
Huo Xiao was actually very beautiful, but the words she said, combined with her arrogant and overbearing attitude, were really disgusting.
"Huo Xiao, I've said before, don't bother my grandma," Ling Nuan said coldly.
Huo Xiao sneered. "So, what are you going to do now?"
She got up from the sofa and walked towards Ling Nuan. "Apart from talking tough, what else can you do? Or do you think Uncle will always help you? Ling Nuan, it's not scary to be incompetent, but it's stupid to fight with me when you have no ability."
Ling Nuan kept a cold face and said nothing. For the time being, she really had no way to deal with Huo Xiao.
Seeing her like this, Huo Xiao laughed disdainfully. "Return Shaoqing's things to him and then get out of our world. Maybe I can spare you and your grandma."
Ling Nuan frowned. "His things?"
"Tsk." Huo Xiao glanced at Ling Nuan disdainfully. "Do you think some things become yours just because you've had them for a long time? Don't think that just because you started a business with Shaoqing, you can take his hard - won achievements for yourself!"
Ling Nuan understood.
When she left Qingnuan Technology, she didn't take a single cent from Shen Shaoqing. She only took the chip technology developed by her and her friends.
After she left, several technical talents she had recruited also left one after another. Qingnuan Technology, which could have taken a step forward, had its dream shattered because Ling Nuan had taken away the people and the technology.
These two people were really shameless.
"Crazy couple," Ling Nuan commented.
Huo Xiao was furious. "You! Ling Nuan, don't think that just because Uncle is protecting you now, I won't dare to do anything to you!"
Ling Nuan really had no way to deal with Huo Xiao. At least she couldn't hurt her for the time being, but she could scare her.
She looked at Huo Xiao and suddenly showed a smile.
There was a hint of madness in that smile.
"Huo Xiao, how dare you come in front of me alone? You tell me, what will happen if I just give you a gentle push?"
Huo Xiao's expression changed slightly. She protected her stomach and distanced herself from Ling Nuan. "If you dare to do anything to me, the Huo family won't let you go."
Ling Nuan smiled indifferently. "You've already forced me into a corner. Do you think I still care about that? If I can't live, it's not bad to drag you to hell with me."
"As long as I give you a gentle push, your baby that's not even three months old won't even have a chance to see the world."
As she said this, Ling Nuan walked towards Huo Xiao, as if she was really going to push her.
Huo Xiao was scared half to death.
She really thought Ling Nuan could do such a thing. She quickly dodged Ling Nuan and ran out of the ward.
After she got out of the ward, she didn't forget to turn back and threaten. "Ling Nuan, I won't let you go, and neither will anyone around you!"
Ling Nuan smiled slightly at Huo Xiao and pretended to run out to chase her.
Huo Xiao was extremely frightened and quickly ran away.
Ling Nuan sneered.
Seeing Huo Xiao leave, Huang Sheng immediately pushed Grandma Xun back. She couldn't help but complain. "What's wrong with this Huo Xiao again? Does she really think that scumbag Shen Shaoqing is some great catch?"
Ling Nuan twitched the corner of her mouth.
Sometimes, even if she could let go, as long as there was something on her that Shen Shaoqing wanted to get his hands on, like connections, technology, and herself, Shen Shaoqing wouldn't let her go.
As long as Shen Shaoqing couldn't let go, Huo Xiao would go crazy at any time.
Ling Nuan simply couldn't avoid this crazy couple.
Huang Sheng worried. "What if Huo Xiao goes crazy again..."
"It's okay. I..." Ling Nuan was just about to comfort her friend when she suddenly sensed something. She suddenly turned around and couldn't help but be stunned.
Huo Linsheng?
