Ten years in Huating have been turbulent, with behind-the-scenes capital always omnipresent. Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents always churn; lights flicker on and off, and human affairs ebb a...
When Huo Zhongyuan returned to Huating, the city lights were already on.
Upon exiting the airport, Xiao Zou was already waiting in the parking lot outside the airport.
He saw President Huo's tall figure in the distance, quickly opened the door and got out of the car, then opened the back door.
"Mr. Huo, you've worked hard!"
"Um!"
Huo Zhongyuan handed his luggage to Xiao Zou and bent down to sit in the back seat.
After Xiao Zou put his luggage away and got into the car, he instructed, "We're going to Yuanxing International Center."
"Yes, Mr. Huo, please have a seat!"
Xiao Zou was not surprised at all; he drove steadily, just like his personality.
This is also why Huo Zhongyuan never considered replacing him, even after using him for eight years.
The route from the airport to Yuanxing International is during the evening rush hour, which is the most congested time of day.
Normally, it might take two hours to get there, but Xiao Zou still managed to arrive at the Yuanxing International building before 7 p.m. thanks to his superb skills.
"Remember to remind me next month so I can give you a raise!"
Huo Zhongyuan's words before getting out of the car brought a smile to Xiao Zou's face, who was usually not good with words, and he shouted his thanks behind Huo Zhongyuan's back.
It's rare to find such a considerate driver, and Huo Zhongyuan didn't hesitate to express his appreciation by giving him a raise.
The Law Offices of Rodton occupied the seventeenth and eighteenth floors of Yuanxing International and had an elevator that went directly to the floors.
However, this privilege is only for employees; visitors like Huo Zhongyuan can only use the regular elevator.
Being in the same financial industry, I naturally encountered many familiar faces.
Before she could even finish exchanging greetings, Qin Suisui, sitting in her office, already knew that Huo Zhongyuan from Jiaming Investment Bank was almost on the eighteenth floor.
After hanging up the ventilation phone, Qin Suisui couldn't help but laugh.
She got up and left the office, then went to the elevator lobby on her floor to wait.
As the elevator doors slowly opened, the first thing Huo Zhongyuan saw was his smiling girlfriend.
His bright smile swept away his fatigue.
He raised an eyebrow: "Sui Sui, are you waiting for me?"
"I've been waiting for you!"
Qin Suisui reached out and took his arm, her smile serene.
"How could you...?"
Before he could finish speaking, he remembered the groups of people he had encountered downstairs earlier, and it seemed that someone had already contacted them by phone.
"Looks like my social circle is still too small; I know people everywhere!"
Huo Zhongyuan looked down at her and teased her softly.
"You have no privacy at all. I was trying to give you a surprise."
"Aren't you surprised that I'm standing outside the elevator to greet you?"
Qin Suisui looked up and gave him a reproachful glare.
"It's different. Wanting to surprise you and you surprising me are two different experiences!"
Huo Zhongyuan reached out and took Sui Sui's hand, which was linked with his arm, and followed her into the office.
As soon as the office door closed, he turned around, pressed against her, and leaned down to kiss her, his kisses landing on her face and the corners of her lips, his tongue lingering between them.
The office was so quiet that only their breathing could be heard.
By the time Qin Suisui realized what was happening, she was sitting on the desk, her waist held by him, and she was tilting her head back to receive him.
"Senior brother~"
A moan escaped her lips as she murmured softly.
Huo Zhongyuan was captivated by her kisses; she always managed to move him to the point of being unable to extricate himself.
The soft breaths in his ear gradually brought him back to his senses. He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers, controlling his desire.
He held the person beneath him tightly, and only slowly let go after a long time.
His deep eyes revealed a bone-chilling desire.
"Sui Sui, when will you be ready!"
His voice was filled with intense desire.
Qin Suisui's cheeks flushed red, but she forced herself to squeeze off the table, trying to appear calm.
Distracted by Huo Zhongyuan's gaze, she lowered her head, smoothed her hair, and spoke evasively.
I'm hungry now!
"Sui Sui, I'm hungry too!"
Huo Zhongyuan reached out and pressed down on her buttocks, letting her feel his hunger.
"You scoundrel!"
Qin Suisui's cheeks burned as she looked up and glared at him.
Huo Zhongyuan chuckled softly, his tone languid.
He bent down and kissed her hard, then put her down.
"Let's go, let's eat first!"
This pointed remark made Qin Suisui hold back for a long time, but in the end she pinched his waist hard until he whispered in her ear to beg for mercy.
Qin Suisui rode the elevator under the strange looks from everyone, wondering why the other people's gazes were so bizarre.
Suddenly, I saw my swollen lips reflected in the smooth mirror of the elevator, and then I understood why everyone's expressions were so restrained.
It was a suppressed smile!
"Huo Zhongyuan!"
She was still angry even after the waiter led her to her seat.
"Sweetie, I'll be more careful next time, don't be angry, okay~"
It was rare to see Sui Sui act so petulantly, so Huo Zhongyuan gently coaxed her with great interest.
Qin Suisui glanced up at him, then looked down at her WeChat Moments.
Suddenly a message popped up.
Mu Jinjin sent her a voice message and also sent her a screenshot.
She put on her headphones and turned on voice communication.
After listening to the voice message, she looked at the man opposite her with a complicated expression.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Zhongyuan put some of her favorite fish on her plate.
Why that expression?
Qin Suisui rested the back of her hand on her forehead, lowered her head, and pursed her lips slightly.
"I heard you laid off a female secretary at the Huo Corporation today!"
Huo Zhongyuan paused in his chopsticks, then nodded.
"You're so well-informed?" Sui Sui already knows!
"Was the reason for the layoff malicious?"
Qin Suisui finally couldn't help but chuckle. She covered her mouth with her hand, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"So happy!"
Huo Zhongyuan shook his head and sighed softly.
"Aren't you happy to see me make a fool of myself!"
He narrowed his eyes, his gaze threatening.
No, absolutely not!
Qin Suisui quickly shook her head, her eyes moist with laughter.
"Where did you get this information?"
Huo Zhongyuan was curious how Sui Sui, who was far away in Huating, could find out about the Huo family's movements so quickly.
Qin Suisui shrugged, her expression seemingly helpless. "My classmate's law firm happens to serve your Huo Group, and she has a good relationship with one of Huo's employees, so..."
After saying that, she wrinkled her nose and spoke in a deliberately threatening tone.
"So, Senior Brother Huo, you'd better be careful. I have a spy watching you all the time!"
"Girlfriends are welcome to supervise at any time."
Huo Zhongyuan raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips, his expression suggestive.
He suddenly leaned close to her and whispered, "Sui Sui, is there a reward?"
Qin Suisui lightly touched his forehead with her finger, looking at him with a smile: "It seems not!"
"It seems so! There's a possibility. I guess I need to work harder!"
Huo Zhongyuan sat back down and nodded as if he understood.
Qin Suisui let out another light laugh.
She felt increasingly relaxed in front of Senior Brother Huo; he could always easily influence her emotions.
Just like now, her smile hasn't faded at all tonight.
Huo Zhongyuan gazed at her with doting eyes, watching her smile radiantly.
