Chapter 116

ched from the side, and she quickly lowered her head and turned to leave in a hurry."Who's that rustling about" Old Master Huo glared displeasure at the shadowy corner.The housekeeper stopped, lifted...Fortunately, there was spare gauze in her medicine bag. She quickly cleaned the wound and applied a bandage to it.

Xia Xia's heart skipped a beat, "Auntie Yan, how could this be"

"It's fine, there are still some things left unsaid. We can deal with them later." Fu Yan said as she applied the ointment around the gauze, making it look like she had taken care of it. She then pulled Xiao Xia away from the bathroom.

Xia Xia felt really bad for Yan Jie. Her birthday was too miserable this year.

You're right, today is Fu Yan's birthday. Song Qing霜 kept her at Huo's Residence last night and surprisingly woke up early this morning to cook a bowl of noodles for her. This belated maternal love left Fu Yan somewhat stunned.

When Huo Yuan called her across the ocean, it was just to wish her a happy birthday. The gift he had sent her should have arrived in Nancheng by now, and she planned to pick it up after work.

Back in the conference room, General Lei saw that she had treated her wound. "Miss Fu, are you alright"

Fu Yan shook her head and smiled slightly. "I apologize for the delay, let's continue."

Before leaving Huoshi Group, Fu Yan went to the front desk to ask Cao Fang, she didn't see Cao Fang standing here when she came, and didn't know where he went.

Who knew the front desk told her, “Cao Assistant has already returned to the president's office.”

This is too much of a coincidence.

Fu Yan took out the car key, "Could you please help me give this to him"

The front desk lady suddenly realized, "You must be Miss Fu"

"I am."

"Cao, the assistant, instructed that if you come to return the key, please go directly to the CEO's office to find him."

Xia Xia stood beside them, her face full of curiosity. She and Fu Yan had arrived in a Bugatti, the first time Xia Xia had ever been in one. Excitedly, she asked Fu Yan where they got the car.

Fu Yan told her at the time that it was a friend's car.

She believed it.

But now she seemed to smell a hint of gossip, something fishy!

Is the CEO's office just someplace you can go to whenever

Not to mention outsiders, even employees within the company cannot go there easily.

An assistant, even if they have a lot of power, can just let people from outside companies go to the CEO's office whenever they want

The answer is obviously no.

Fu Yan pushed Xia over, her gossip-hungry face approaching. “It's almost quitting time in the old district, you should just head home now.”

Xiaoxia looked at her with a knowing expression, as if she knew she had a secret.

Fu Yan pretended not to see and said, "Leave."

"Saying that, the receptionist led her to the elevator and swiped her card directly into the executive elevator. She politely said, "Ms. Fu, please."

Upon reaching the top floor, Fu Yan stepped out of the elevator. As the sun was setting, large swathes of orange and yellow light streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the entire space in a warm glow. On the polished floor, it seemed as if a carpet of gold had been laid.

This was Fu Yan's first time coming to Huo Mingzheng's office at the Huo Corporation. This was where Huo Mingzheng worked, the closest place to him.

She came for an internship interview at Ho's company during her college years, but unfortunately, she didn't get through. She clearly remembered that the interviewer was very satisfied with her, and it wasn't just a polite way to tell her to go home and wait for news.

But she waited for three full days, only to be met with a tactful rejection from the world.

Not being able to come to work at Ho's became the biggest regret of her time, and it still is now.

She still wants to be closer to Huo Mingzheng.

"Why haven't you left yet" Huo Jingshu suddenly walked over from the corner, looking at her with displeasure.

When her gaze fell on the gauze on her hand, she paused her breath, "Are you going to report to the second brother"

Fu Yan felt amused, "I'm not that childish."rs to discuss with Huo Mingzheng."You're busy here, I won't bother you. Remember to eat. It's L八 today, and I made some L八 congee."Ho Mingzheng hummed softly and said faintly, "Cao Fang, please see Xi...
