Ling Nuan and Huo Linsheng seemed to have reconciled in a rather strange way.
When Ling Nuan arrived at the company and just sat down at her desk, Huo Linsheng came over.
He glanced at Ling Nuan expressionlessly. "Unauthorized absence from work. Your salary will be deducted."
Ling Nuan was in a great mood.
The fact that Huo Linsheng still let her come to the company meant that there was still room for negotiation regarding what had been said at the Huo family's old mansion yesterday!
She could still continue her plan.
Once her plan could proceed, Ling Nuan became reasonable. Putting herself in Huo Linsheng's shoes, she thought about whether she would be angry if she were him.
Of course she would be angry. So she could understand all of Huo Linsheng's actions. As long as he didn't stop her plan, Ling Nuan was willing to coax him unconditionally.
"Okay! Mr. Huo, I was wrong. I'll surely regard the company as my home from now on." Ling Nuan didn't forget to show her loyalty. But since they were in the company and there were colleagues around, it wasn't appropriate for her to say too much.
Huo Linsheng gave a soft snort and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Ling Nuan shook her head.
"Do you want to starve yourself and fake a work - related injury?" Huo Linsheng mocked.
Ling Nuan: "..."
Although she intended to coax him unconditionally, it was really hard for Ling Nuan to respond to Huo Linsheng's words.
"Let Fang Chao buy something for you to eat. Go to the tea - room and finish your breakfast before starting work." Huo Linsheng gave her a casual glance and then turned away.
Ling Nuan couldn't help biting her lip.
Did he really have to show his concern with a cold face?
What if she didn't understand his intention?
Just as Ling Nuan was grumbling inwardly, Lin Lan came over, with a look of relief on her face. "Sure enough, now that you're here, Mr. Huo is in a better mood."
Ling Nuan was shocked. "His face is so gloomy. You call this being in a better mood?"
Lin Lan sighed. "You haven't seen Mr. Huo when he's really angry."
Ling Nuan was skeptical about this.
However, when she got to the tea - room and saw the breakfast that had been prepared for her, all her favorite foods, and considering that lunchtime was approaching soon, the breakfast was the kind that wouldn't fill her up too much. Ling Nuan couldn't help smiling.
The argument at the old mansion didn't affect Ling Nuan's work at the company.
At first, she was a bit worried. She probed Fang Chao with a question. "Assistant Fang, has there been any change in my work?"
Fang Chao looked blank. "What change?" Then, as if he had just realized something, he said, "By the way, Secretary Ling, you missed the morning meeting. I asked Lin Lan to take notes for you. You can ask Lin Lan for them."
Only then did Ling Nuan completely relax.
"Okay, I see. I'm sorry for causing you trouble." Ling Nuan was in a happy mood and didn't forget to apologize to Fang Chao.
Fang Chao sighed. "Next time, please don't disappear suddenly. Work is a minor issue. The main thing is," he pointed upwards with his finger, looking humble, "I can't bear the pressure."
Ling Nuan couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, she asked, "Where is he?"
After Huo Linsheng told her to have breakfast, he had disappeared.
Hearing this, Fang Chao replied, "Mr. Huo has gone out. It seems he has a private meeting. He should be back before noon."
Hearing this, Ling Nuan thanked Fang Chao again.
Then she returned to her work station and continued her work.
Although this time it was just a false alarm, Ling Nuan still became vigilant. Huo Linsheng was indeed good to her, but when it came to Huo Xiao, now that she had calmed down and thought from Huo Linsheng's perspective, it was really difficult for him to make a proper choice.
Moreover, even if Huo Linsheng really favored her, there was still Huo Xiao causing trouble, and Shen Shaoqing, who was muddle - headed, constantly creating problems. Ling Nuan was now full of a sense of crisis.
She had to speed up. Only by resolving the matter related to Qing Nuan could she feel at ease.
While Ling Nuan was busy with her work, Huo Linsheng arrived at Qin's Collagen Beauty.
"Someone is looking for me?" Qin Huan looked surprised when she saw the assistant who came to deliver the message.
The assistant also looked a bit blank. "It was notified from the president's office. I don't know who it is. But judging from the tone, it seems to be someone important. I was told that no matter what the manager is doing, she should immediately put down her work and go to the meeting room on the twelfth floor to meet the guest."
Hearing this, Qin Huan was suspicious. She thought of a few possible people in her mind, but she couldn't make a definite decision for the moment.
Since the other party had specifically instructed, Qin Huan didn't waste any time on this matter.
She nodded. After assigning her current work to the assistant, she immediately headed towards the meeting room on the twelfth floor.
The large meeting room was extremely quiet.
When Qin Huan reached the door of the meeting room, the door was closed. She couldn't see what was going on inside, and there was no sound at all, so she couldn't figure out anything.
She reached out and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A male voice came from inside.
Qin Huan thought the voice sounded a bit familiar, but not very familiar. While still feeling confused, she had already turned the doorknob and pushed the door open.
After entering the meeting room, Qin Huan saw a man sitting with his back to her.
As if hearing the sound of her opening the door, the man turned his chair around and faced her.
Qin Huan was able to see the man's appearance clearly, and then she was shocked.
"Mr. Huo..." Qin Huan's heart skipped a beat.
She had anticipated that Huo Linsheng might discover her and that he might come looking for her. But she never expected that Huo Linsheng would come in person and directly come to the company.
There was a moment of panic in her heart, but soon she regained her composure and showed a polite smile to Huo Linsheng. "I heard that you're looking for me, Mr. Huo. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Huo Linsheng's gaze fell on Qin Huan, and his tone was cold. "Miss Qin, it's important for a person to have self - awareness."
Qin Huan was startled.
She thought that if Huo Linsheng came to her, he might ask about Ling Nuan. But she didn't expect that Huo Linsheng's purpose was just to warn her.
Huo Linsheng really had no interest in wasting words with Qin Huan.
He stood up and walked towards Qin Huan.
"I don't care what your purpose is or who you're working for. I just want to remind Miss Qin that you shouldn't overstep your bounds. If you cross the line and get your hands chopped off, it won't be worth it. What do you think, Miss Qin?" A smile curled up on Huo Linsheng's cold face.
This smile that didn't reach his eyes made Qin Huan tremble with fear from the bottom of her heart.
"Mr. Huo, I think you may have misunderstood something. I..."
Qin Huan was panicked, but she couldn't just admit this matter.
Huo Linsheng didn't want her to interfere anymore, but this wasn't something she could just stop doing if she wanted to.
She tried to struggle.
"Do you think I'm easy to deceive?" Huo Linsheng interrupted her.
Qin Huan: "..."
"Miss Qin has too much energy. You can pay attention to the current situation of your company. I believe that as a smart person, Miss Qin should know what choice to make."
After saying this, Huo Linsheng withdrew his gaze and left.
What was Qin Huan's purpose?
Who was the person behind her?
By cutting off Qin Huan's arm, the person behind the scenes would surely show their true colors.
