At noon, Shuxin arrived at the Huo Corporation. Song Li was waiting for her in the hall and led her upstairs. "Miss Shu, The Fifth Lord is in a meeting. He asked me to come down and pick you up. You can wait in the office for a while. Ten minutes at most."
"Okay." Shuxin felt that yesterday's engagement party had affected her small company. The Huo Corporation must have had a greater impact. Otherwise, Huo Yanqing wouldn't have come to the company so early in the morning. She asked, "Secretary Song, why is Yanqing so busy today? Did yesterday's engagement party affect the company in any way? "
Song Li's gaze was evasive. "No, it's just a normal company matter."
Shuxin stared at Song Li for two seconds. "… Oh."
Song Li led Shuxin into the president's office and then went to the conference room.
After a while, someone from the secretary's office brought tea.
Shuxin had helped Huo Yanqing deal with the Huo Corporation's affairs before, so she knew everyone in the secretary's office.
Shuxin stopped the person who brought the tea. "Sister Yang, can I ask you something?"
Sister Yang said respectfully, "Boss Shu, please ask."
"Is there anything unusual about the Huo Corporation today?"
Sister Yang glanced at Shuxin and seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak.
Shuxin guessed that it had something to do with yesterday's engagement party, and it wasn't a good thing. Otherwise, Song Li would have told her. She smiled and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. It's okay."
Sister Yang rubbed her hands and observed Shuxin's expression as she said, "The company's stock market began to fall as soon as it opened this morning. At ten o 'clock, the company's shareholders came to the president to ask for an explanation. They said … that the stock fell because your father and you hurt someone at the engagement party yesterday, which caused a negative impact and affected the company's reputation. They also said …"
Shuxin nodded to Sister Yang. "It's okay. Go on."
"They also said that a person like you is not suitable to be the president's wife." Sister Yang whispered.
Shuxin was silent for two seconds. "Okay, I got it. Thank you. You can leave now."
Not long after Sister Yang left, someone from the restaurant delivered the dishes.
Since Shuxin often came over to accompany Huo Yanqing for dinner, Huo Yanqing had renovated the spacious office, adding a small dining room and a lounge.
The dining room wasn't big. There was only a small round table and two chairs. There was also a large bonsai placed next to the French window.
Shuxin placed the dishes on the small round table and went to the pantry to make two cups of coffee. Just as she sat down, Huo Yanqing came back from the meeting.
Song Li walked Huo Yanqing to the office door and left.
Shuxin walked over and took Huo Yanqing's hand to sit down in the dining room. She asked him as she served him food, "Are you busy today?"
"Mm." Huo Yanqing raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows.
"Shall I give you a massage after dinner? It'll be easier. "
"Okay."
After serving the dishes, the two of them began to eat. Shuxin glanced at Huo Yanqing from time to time. Seeing that he had no intention of speaking even though they were almost done eating, she took the initiative to ask, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Huo Yanqing elegantly swallowed the food in his mouth. "Does it still hurt down there?"
Shuxin's face instantly turned red. She poked at the rice in her bowl and said softly, "Who told you to say that?"
"Then what do you want me to say?" Huo Yanqing's lips curled into a thin smile. "You want to ask me how I feel?"
"Of course not." Shuxin's little face turned even redder.
Huo Yanqing frowned slightly and pretended to think. After a few seconds, he said, "I didn't have enough fun last night. Can we still come tonight?"
Shuxin's cheeks were burning hot. She put the bowl and chopsticks on the table and got up. "You're so annoying. I'm ignoring you."
