Ling Nuan's move was an open scheme.
News about the meeting would soon reach Huo Xiao and Shen Shaoqing.
However, for Shen Shaoqing, he actually had no better choice. Even if he knew there was a pit ahead, he had to keep jumping in.
As long as he had the ability to keep Qing Nuan running normally, Ling Nuan's open scheme would end in failure.
After the meeting ended, Ling Nuan left with Huo Linsheng.
When there was no one else around, Huo Linsheng sized her up with a half - smile. "I underestimated your abilities."
Ling Nuan looked innocent. "It's all thanks to your good teachings, Mr. Huo."
A faint smile escaped from Huo Linsheng's lips. He asked, "What did I teach you?"
Ling Nuan answered confidently without a hint of guilt. "Capitalism. Exploit others and leave them with nothing."
That's exactly how Huo Linsheng exploited her!
Huo Linsheng let out a chuckle. "My students aren't as stupid as you."
Ling Nuan looked up in surprise.
"Your methods are good, but you have to remember that anyone can charge into battle. The most important thing is to stay firmly in the rear and have an overall view of the situation," Huo Linsheng commented.
Ling Nuan was taken aback for a moment.
She was surprised that Huo Linsheng wasn't just teasing her but actually teaching her.
At the same time, she really had to reflect on herself.
She really shouldn't handle everything personally.
Huo Linsheng reminded her again. "You did a good job with Qi Yang and Zhao Leli's matter."
So far, Huo Xiao still hadn't figured out that the real culprit behind this was actually Ling Nuan.
Speaking of these two people, Ling Nuan remembered the message Huo Qishu had sent not long ago... Qi Yang and Zhao Leli were quite interesting people. Considering how angry they had made Huo Xiao, Ling Nuan decided to unilaterally reconcile with them!
After returning to the office, Ling Nuan went back to her post to work, while Fang Chao followed Huo Linsheng to his office.
After they finished discussing business, Fang Chao rarely looked a bit flustered.
"Do you have something to say?" Huo Linsheng asked proactively.
Fang Chao smiled sheepishly. "Mr. Huo, can I take three days of annual leave?"
"Something going on?" Huo Linsheng didn't agree immediately but asked.
Fang Chao scratched his head. "My girlfriend is coming to Jing City in a few days. I want to take a few days off to accompany her."
He even played the pity card. "Last time she came, I was working overtime. We barely had a few words. This time it's her birthday, so..." Fang Chao clasped his hands together and pleaded with Huo Linsheng. "Boss, please be kind. Otherwise, I'll be a bachelor."
Huo Linsheng snorted. "Go to the HR department."
Fang Chao immediately beamed with joy. "Thank you, Mr. Huo! I'll work overtime when I come back from the vacation!"
Fang Chao happily turned around to leave. Before he reached the door, he was suddenly called back by Huo Linsheng.
"Does Mr. Huo have something else to say?" Fang Chao was a bit surprised.
Huo Linsheng was playing with a pen in his hand. He couldn't help but recall Xu Shichen's words - "Apart from sleeping together, do you have anything else in common with a couple?"
"How do you get along with your girlfriend?" Huo Linsheng asked.
Fang Chao looked confused, but he answered truthfully. "When we were in school, we watched movies together, went to the library, and traveled when we had time. After graduation, we were busy. Just being able to meet was good."
After answering, Fang Chao vaguely realized the purpose of Huo Linsheng's question. He immediately added, "Although we can't meet often, on anniversaries and festivals, I always buy her gifts and flowers. On normal days, I also order her milk tea and snacks for delivery. The most important thing is to share our lives."
"Share our lives?" Huo Linsheng was a bit surprised.
Fang Chao nodded. "My girlfriend and I are in a long - distance relationship, so she's prone to feeling insecure. Lack of security can lead to relationship problems. Since I can't be with her, I can only improve the situation in other ways."
"Actively share my life with her so that she knows what I'm doing. Even if she's not around, she can still be a part of my life. A relationship needs to be maintained. Moreover, when you care about someone, you'll have a strong desire to share. Boss, don't think that sharing is just a small thing. It's definitely the best way to keep a relationship warm."
Huo Linsheng pondered.
Fang Chao quietly reminded him. "Actually, security is very important in a relationship. It's not just long - distance relationships that lack security. If there's a big gap in status between the two lovers, the one with the lower status will also feel insecure."
He almost blurted out, Boss, there's a big status gap between you and Ling Nuan. She will also feel insecure.
You have to make her feel secure.
Huo Linsheng pinched the tip of the pen and asked, "Apart from sharing life and giving gifts, what else?"
Fang Chao replied, "The details of getting along. Everyone is different, so I can't say much. But Boss, when your girlfriend is happy, you should comfort her. When she's unhappy, you should comfort her even more. As long as you comfort her sincerely, she will definitely feel secure and fall in love with you deeply!"
Huo Linsheng listened to his words, but no one knew whether he believed them or not.
He just commented, "You seem to have quite a lot of dating experience?"
Fang Chao laughed dryly. "It's all thanks to my girlfriend's good guidance."
Huo Linsheng laughed and said, "Go to the finance department to get a one - month bonus. Since your girlfriend is coming, be more generous."
Fang Chao was almost moved to tears.
"Thank you, Mr. Huo!"
Which boss would give his subordinates a dating fund?
Where could you find such a good boss?
Fang Chao was very smart. "Boss, I wish you and Miss Ling a long - lasting and happy relationship!"
Huo Linsheng didn't respond, but the smile on his face was genuine.
No wonder Fang Chao could be his confidant!
After Fang Chao left, Huo Linsheng opened the WeChat chat window between him and Ling Nuan.
Huo Linsheng didn't like typing and chatting very much. Ling Nuan was already the person he chatted with most frequently, but when he scrolled down the chat records, they ended quickly.
Huo Linsheng had listened to what Fang Chao said, but he was still a bit confused about how to do it.
After much thought, Huo Linsheng poked open Fang Chao's WeChat. "Send me your chat records with your girlfriend."
Fang Chao: "?"
Fang Chao was shocked and on the verge of collapse.
Fang Chao wanted to play dead.
But the next message from Huo Linsheng was a transfer of 10,000 yuan.
Fang Chao quickly replied, "Okay, Mr. Huo."
Then he quickly sent a bunch of chat records between them.
Don't be fooled by Fang Chao's steady work style. In front of his girlfriend...
"Baby, I miss you so much."
"Baby! I saw a bag that's super suitable for you. Do you like it?"
"Baby, look at this cloud. Doesn't it look like my heart missing you?"
"Baby, I'm still working overtime. I'm so pitiful, lonely, and sad."
"Baby baby baby!"
"..."
As he scrolled through, Huo Linsheng felt like his head was filled with "baby, baby", with Fang Chao's abnormal, somewhat coquettish tone.
It left Huo Linsheng speechless.
"I must be crazy to ask Fang Chao for advice."
Was this something he could learn from?
Well, he could probably learn a little.
