Ling Nuan had been avoiding Huo Linsheng for several days.
She slaved away at the company during the day and was bullied at night. Even an immortal wouldn't be able to bear it.
Ling Nuan wracked her brains to avoid him, but in the end, she had to enter Huo Linsheng's office because there were documents that needed his signature.
She stared longingly at Huo Linsheng as he signed. As soon as he finished, she grabbed the documents and was about to leave. "Mr. Huo, if there's nothing else, I'll go now."
After saying that, without waiting for Huo Linsheng's reaction, she turned around and was about to run.
Huo Linsheng leaned back in his chair, smiling with the corners of his eyes as he watched her run.
Just as she was about to reach the door, he leisurely said, "The bodyguards for your grandma have been decided. Don't you want to take a look?"
Ling Nuan's hand was already on the doorknob. Hearing Huo Linsheng's words, she stopped and turned around.
"Since Secretary Ling isn't concerned, I'll just let them decide at will." Huo Linsheng said with a feigned look of regret, then pretended to be busy with work.
Ling Nuan immediately rushed back.
"Mr. Huo." Ling Nuan looked at him with a beaming smile.
Huo Linsheng feigned surprise. "Didn't Secretary Ling already leave? Is there something else?"
Ling Nuan smiled at him and blinked her eyes.
Huo Linsheng didn't take the bait. "Does Secretary Ling have an eye problem?"
Ling Nuan: "..."
"Mr. Huo, when are we going to see the bodyguards?" Ling Nuan had no choice but to be more direct.
Huo Linsheng raised his eyes and glanced at her. "Now you're in a hurry?"
Ling Nuan grabbed Huo Linsheng's sleeve and gently shook it. "I was wrong."
Huo Linsheng let out a low laugh and handed her the resume he had prepared long ago.
"These two are the people I've selected for you, and these six are the ones who made it to the second round. You can take a look too."
Ling Nuan was pleasantly surprised.
After reading the resumes, she was even more delighted.
The two bodyguards arranged by Huo Linsheng were a man and a woman. On the woman's resume, it was also stated that she had a nutritionist certificate.
"Considering that you probably don't want your grandma to notice, it might be more appropriate to let her take care of your grandma in the name of a nanny. The other one can stand by in the dark. If there are no problems, you can take them away tonight."
"No problems." Ling Nuan was very satisfied.
While being satisfied, when she looked at Huo Linsheng, she felt a bit like an ungrateful person.
The great president took time out of his busy schedule to help her with this small matter, yet she had been avoiding him. She was really being a jerk!
"Thank you." Ling Nuan said somewhat shyly.
Huo Linsheng hooked the corner of his mouth and replied, "I hope some people won't just pay lip service."
Saying that, he took out two business cards. "Contact them yourself."
Ling Nuan immediately contacted the two bodyguards. As soon as she got off work that day, she took the female bodyguard to Grandma Xun's house.
As soon as Grandma Xun heard about the nanny, she waved her hand repeatedly and refused. "Nuan Nuan, Grandma has hands and feet. I don't need anyone to take care of me. Don't waste that money."
Ling Nuan said, "Grandma, you have to listen to me on this matter. The last time you suddenly fainted, if Aunt Wang hadn't found you in time, what would I do in the future?"
"That was an accident." Grandma Xun struggled.
Ling Nuan looked at Grandma Xun with a wronged expression. "Grandma, can't you just let me feel at ease? I've just changed to a new job. You don't have to worry about me not having enough money. Moreover, I've been worried because there's no one taking care of you around. I won't be able to work with peace of mind. What if I cause trouble then?"
Grandma Xun was still hesitating. Ling Nuan immediately reddened her eyes and shed two or three tears. "Grandma, you're my only relative."
"Nuan Nuan, don't cry. Don't cry. Grandma agrees to you." As soon as Grandma Xun saw Ling Nuan crying, her heart softened.
Ling Nuan immediately turned from sorrow to joy and took the initiative to introduce to Grandma Xun. "Grandma, this is Sister Li. She will take care of you at home from now on. If you have anything to find me, just let Sister Li contact me."
Ling Nuan stayed at Grandma Xun's place until around nine o'clock before leaving.
After arranging the bodyguards, Ling Nuan finally felt a bit more at ease. Thinking that all this was thanks to Huo Linsheng...
She took out her phone and sent a cute emoji to Huo Linsheng, a Q-version little person carefully sticking out one foot with the words "Are you there?" on top of its head.
As soon as the message was sent, Ling Nuan heard a car horn.
She subconsciously looked up. When she saw the car clearly, she was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of joy flashed through her heart. She quickly ran towards the car on the opposite side.
She opened the door and got in the car. Her movements were crisp and neat.
"Mr. Huo, why are you here?" Ling Nuan's voice was much more cheerful than usual.
Huo Linsheng was also stunned for a moment.
Normally, in front of him, Ling Nuan either tried every means to seduce him or tried every way to avoid him after causing trouble. It was rare for her to look so much like a young girl, full of vigor.
"Mr. Huo?" Seeing that he didn't say anything, Ling Nuan called out again.
Huo Linsheng came back to his senses and joked, "I'm here to see if my investment will yield any returns."
Ling Nuan silently cursed "capitalist" in her heart, and then took the initiative to pull over the seat belt and fasten it.
What other returns could there be between a man and a woman who had slept together?
To put it bluntly, it was just that kind of thing.
Actually, if Huo Linsheng wasn't so ruthless, the two of them would still get along very harmoniously.
At least in the beginning, Ling Nuan enjoyed it and was very energetic in cooperating with Huo Linsheng.
During the break, Ling Nuan leaned on Huo Linsheng's chest and sighed, "I slave away at the company during the day and in bed at night. Mr. Huo, can you give me a raise?"
Huo Linsheng pinched her waist. "Who has ever seen a cow or a horse riding on a person?"
Ling Nuan: "..."
"Who's the one exerting the effort?" Huo Linsheng asked again.
Ling Nuan: "..."
So, why was it that Huo Linsheng was the one exerting the effort, and yet he was also the one who was full of energy in the end, while she was the one who was exhausted to death?
...
The person in charge of the contact between the Qi Corporation and the Huo Corporation was also a president's secretary.
Ling Nuan got along well with the other party and also had some contact with the other party's general assistant. They had reached a preliminary agreement.
Everything was progressing smoothly. Only some details had not been communicated yet. After the communication was completed, the contract could be signed.
"Okay, 7:30 p.m. the day after tomorrow. Okay, we'll contact each other then." Ling Nuan made an appointment with the Qi Corporation. Just as she hung up the phone, there was a commotion behind her.
Huo Xiao was wearing high heels and was dressed to the nines, looking like a soldier going to war.
"Miss Huo."
"Miss Huo, why are you here?"
The employees greeted her one after another. Ling Nuan ignored her.
Huo Xiao took off her sunglasses and smiled charmingly at everyone. "I'm here to give my little uncle the wedding invitation."
The employees were immediately surprised. "Has Miss Huo's wedding date been set?"
"Congratulations, Miss Huo."
"Wish Miss Huo a happy marriage for a hundred years."
Huo Xiao smiled and took out several wedding invitations. "You're all welcome to come then."
Everyone was pleasantly surprised. "We have invitations too?"
"Of course." Huo Xiao said, then took one of the wedding invitations and walked up to Ling Nuan.
Ling Nuan was typing on the keyboard. Huo Xiao placed the wedding invitation on the keyboard, making it very conspicuous.
Ling Nuan looked up and met Huo Xiao's gaze.
Huo Xiao smiled at her, her eyes full of pride. "Ling Nuan, Shao Qing and I are getting married. You must come to our wedding."
