As a result, the atmosphere became slightly awkward.

Even the people at the next table seemed to sense the different atmosphere and turned to look over.

Ai Chen's face burned, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes where no one could see, but he regained his composure when he turned his head, and even asked again, "Sir, when exactly can I be transferred to headquarters? I've mentioned it several times before, and I should be qualified, right?"

You're not going to answer me? I'm going to make you answer me no matter what.

Nangong Jue picked up a tissue and wiped Le Yao's mouth before glancing at Ai Chen: "As for personnel transfers, you should ask Huo Yi; he's in charge of those things."

Just then, Huo Yi brought over the food and sat down next to Nangong Jue: "Lord Jue, I just heard you calling me?"

"Assistant Ai needs to talk to you." After saying that, Nangong Jue lowered his head, finished the last bite of noodles, and put down his chopsticks.

Le Yao finished her food because she had ordered a small bowl.

Nangong Jue took the bowls and chopsticks for the two of them to the collection area, then came over, signed Le Yao's hand, and left.

Ai Chen couldn't control her emotions anymore, but because there were so many people around, she could only stir the rice in her bowl vigorously a few times.

“I’m telling you, Amy,” Huo Yi moved over a bit and said with a grin, “I’m giving you one last piece of advice: if it’s not yours, don’t force it.”

Amy suddenly looked up.

Huo Yi was startled because the look in the other person's eyes was terrifying. He quickly patted his chest and said, "Don't scare me. I'm only saying this because we've worked together for so long. The Duke won't accept you. What can you do even if you cause trouble? You might just ruin that friendship. If I were you, I would..."

Amy suddenly got up and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute," Huo Yi called out to her. "We haven't eaten yet. We don't allow food to be wasted here."

"you……"

Huo Yi pointed to the large characters on the wall: "See? These are the company's rules and regulations. Every branch office has them too. As the head of the region, you must know them, right? Wasting food is a crime, but the company's punishments are still quite humane. The first time is a warning, the second time is a tenfold fine and a public reprimand, the third time is being banned from eating in the cafeteria and having your annual bonus deducted, and the fourth time is being fired..." As he spoke, he pointed to her plate, "Take only what you can eat. That's common sense."

Ai Chen felt like she was going crazy, but with so many people around, she really couldn't do whatever she wanted. So, she could only sit down, finish her food in a huff, and then leave.

Huo Yi glanced at Ai Chen's retreating figure and curled his lip.

"You're really something." After Ai Chen left, Fang Ming took his plate and sat down opposite Huo Yi.

"This was actually your job, but I did it for you." Huo Yi glanced at Fang Ming. "How are you going to thank me?"

"At worst, I'll put in a good word for you with my sister?" Fang Ming raised an eyebrow slightly. "You know, although Xiao Tao is my cousin, she's been my closest relative since childhood, so my words still carry weight."

"Then it's settled." Huo Yi's eyes lit up immediately. "Brother-in-law."
