Since the matter involved Huo Xiao, the company finally decided not to call the police for the time being.
But Zhao Ran was immediately fired.
A security guard watched as she packed her things, fearing that she might take even the slightest thing from the company.
No one had expected that, four months later, the former Wang Qin had turned into Zhao Ran.
"What's going on? Didn't Sister Zhao go to the meeting with General Manager Huo? Why was she suddenly fired?"
"A normal dismissal wouldn't be like this. What on earth did she do?"
"First, Ling Nuan was harassed in the company, and now Sister Zhao is fired. I'm starting to feel a bit panicked. What's going on?"
The secretaries whispered to each other.
The incident was so shocking that they couldn't help but gossip a bit. However, no one dared to go up and ask Zhao Ran.
Looking at this scene, Zhao Ran couldn't help but think of Wang Qin. Hatred, regret, and all kinds of painful emotions were mixed together. In the end, all that was left was resignation.
She could take action against Ling Nuan, but she couldn't fight against Huo Linsheng's fiancée.
While Zhao Ran was packing her things, Ling Nuan was still attending the meeting with Huo Linsheng.
Putting aside the farce, once Huo Linsheng took control of the situation, things became much simpler.
"Cut off all the opponent's external channels. The legal department should prepare in advance. If this was done by Huo Xiao, all the expenses will be borne by him alone. If not, be ready to sue at any time."
"Continue the product debugging. The company has hired so many people. There's no reason why the product effect we achieve should be worse than that of a thief."
Huo Linsheng gave the solution, and everyone just had to follow it.
The directors had no objections.
However, one director hesitated and said, "If this matter gets out, it may have an impact on our company's reputation."
To put it bluntly, they were afraid of being laughed at.
Huo Linsheng snorted softly and said, "Impact? Then we'll make an example of someone and show them clearly that the Huo Corporation is not to be offended!"
After saying that, Huo Linsheng got up briskly and said, "The meeting is adjourned."
As soon as Huo Linsheng left, Ling Nuan and Fang Chao naturally followed.
Along the way, Fang Chao was telling Huo Linsheng about Huo Xiao.
Obviously, he had found out more than what was revealed in the meeting.
"It's confirmed that it was Huo Xiao. I found out that Zhang Wang had contact with people from the opponent's company."
Huo Linsheng snorted softly and said, "Send all the information you've found to Second Brother."
As they were talking, the three of them got off the elevator and returned to the top floor.
Fang Chao responded with a "Sure" and turned to get busy. Only Ling Nuan was left beside Huo Linsheng.
"General Manager Huo, can I go back to work now?" Ling Nuan asked tentatively, while carefully preparing to slip away at any moment.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Huo Linsheng had cooperated with her during the meeting. Based on what she knew about him, he would surely settle the score with her later.
However, before she could take two steps, Huo Linsheng suddenly reached out.
Ling Nuan was wearing a dress with a waistband today. With a simple hook of his finger, Huo Linsheng caught the waistband and pulled her into his arms.
She was completely caught off guard.
Just like that, she was yanked into his arms.
"Where are you running to?" Huo Linsheng asked.
Ling Nuan was stunned, especially when she met everyone's shocked gazes.
They were standing in front of the secretaries' work area. Everyone had noticed them as soon as they entered.
It wasn't strange for Ling Nuan to go to the meeting with Huo Linsheng and come back with him. But who could tell them why General Manager Huo had pulled Ling Nuan so daintily into his arms and showed no sign of letting go?
"General Manager Huo," Ling Nuan called out, emphasizing each word, trying to remind him that this was not an appropriate occasion for such actions.
In the meeting room, there were only high - level executives, and their mouths were usually quite tight. When Huo Linsheng did that, only a small number of people knew about it. But now... Did he want to make it known to everyone in the company?
Huo Linsheng knew it well but pretended not to. He gently twitched the corner of his mouth and replied, "It's too late to admit your mistake now."
Ling Nuan: "..."
Right in front of everyone's eyes, Huo Linsheng simply put his arm around Ling Nuan and walked into the office.
After they left, there was a moment of terrifying silence around, as if everyone had their breath caught.
It wasn't until a while later that everyone seemed to remember how to breathe. The moment they exhaled, the entire top floor erupted.
"What's going on? Ling Nuan and General Manager Huo?"
"No way. Didn't Ling Nuan have something going on with Assistant Fang?"
Lin Lan suddenly remembered that day in the tea - room. It seemed that besides Fang Chao, Huo Linsheng was also there!
So, the one involved with Ling Nuan was General Manager Huo?
Assistant Fang took care of Ling Nuan because of General Manager Huo's instructions, or rather, he was in the know!
Everyone looked at each other, suddenly feeling as if the sky was falling.
"What's the relationship between Ling Nuan and General Manager Huo? If they're boyfriend and girlfriend... and we've been排挤 her like this..."
They felt dizzy.
Since they were in the company, they didn't dare to say much. But when their eyes met, they couldn't help but speculate that Ling Nuan might just be General Manager Huo's mistress.
After all, with the identities of a president and a secretary, and Ling Nuan's family background was far from being able to match that of a wealthy family.
Zhao Ran put the last thing into the box. Looking at her former colleagues still speculating, she suddenly let out a self - mocking laugh.
Her laugh attracted everyone's attention.
Zhao Ran looked at them and said, "Consider this the last good deed I do before I leave." She told them the answer, "Ling Nuan is General Manager Huo's fiancée."
Don't end up like her.
Zhao Ran had thought about many things. In the end, she found that she still hated Ling Nuan. She hated that Ling Nuan and Huo Linsheng had hidden this relationship. If she had known earlier... How could she have taken such a risk?
Zhao Ran didn't care what others thought. She picked up her things and left.
After she left, the top floor completely exploded.
"Fiancée!"
"Ling Nuan is General Manager Huo's fiancée?"
"I'm dead. Completely dead, with a few layers of soil on top of me."
"..."
Ling Nuan didn't know how devastated they were. Right now, she was in trouble herself.
After she was pulled into the office by Huo Linsheng and the door was closed, Huo Linsheng mercilessly slapped her on the butt.
Ling Nuan struggled a bit.
She managed to avoid the second slap, but she was pinned against the door.
"You're quite something, Ling Nuan," Huo Linsheng said with a half - smile.
Ling Nuan stood at attention and begged for mercy. She coquettishly tugged at Huo Linsheng's sleeve and said, "General Manager Huo."
Huo Linsheng held back his smile and didn't say a word. He just looked at her meaningfully.
Ling Nuan tried to downplay her guilt. "General Manager Huo, I didn't expect Zhao Ran and Huo Xiao to make such a big fuss. And although I hid it, I did help the company get rid of a cancer. I should at least get some credit, right?"
After saying that, Ling Nuan suddenly felt that these words sounded familiar. Wang Qin had said something similar back then.
Huo Linsheng laughed and lifted Ling Nuan's chin. "You didn't know?"
Ling Nuan... fell silent.
