After Turning Around, I Exploded in the Legal Circle

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...

Chapter 216 Impatience

Qin Suisui was in a low mood all afternoon because of Hong Chang's phone call. Huo Zhongyuan called her several times in a row, but Qin Suisui did not answer.

He then called Yue Hongxin, who happened to be on the phone with Hong Chang.

Huo Zhongyuan glanced at the time, feeling inexplicably anxious and restless.

Sui Sui will be leading a team to M country next week, and there have been some unexpected events lately.

Now, except when Sui Sui is at work, he always spends all his time with her. He even hired two professional bodyguards at great expense to secretly follow Sui Sui.

He worried that if the Xixida Group failed in one attempt, they would devise another and use some underhanded methods to prevent Sui Sui's team from going to M Country.

Such accidents have happened before!

His heart pounded, and without caring whether it was work hours, he grabbed his car keys and walked straight out of the office.

"Mr. Huo, will you be coming back after you go out? Mr. Ji has arranged to meet you at five o'clock."

Huo Zhongyuan's assistant, Guan Shuzhan, quickly got up and chased after him.

Huo Zhongyuan paused, his expression serious: "Call Ji Pengfei and change the time to 9 a.m. tomorrow."

"ah!"

"Mr. Huo, Mr. Ji is flying to Singapore tomorrow morning!"

"Then let's make an appointment when he gets back!"

Huo Zhongyuan completely ignored Guan Shuzhan's surprise and walked straight out.

Guan Shuzhan stopped in his tracks, his expression momentarily blank. What was going on? What had happened?

He had been with the company for five or six years, and this was the first time he had seen President Huo so emotionally out of control.

"Has President Huo left?"

Secretary Heng walked over and saw Guan Shuzhan standing in the aisle. She looked around.

"Assistant Guan, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, it's nothing!"

Guan Shuzhan frowned, head down in deep thought, still unable to figure it out. Never mind, he decided to go back to his office first; he still needed to contact President Ji.

"Assistant Guan, I'm asking you, where is President Huo?"

Secretary Heng followed behind him, asking questions, not understanding that Assistant Guan, who was always shrewd and capable, had this side to him.

"Mr. Huo has gone out on business and won't be back this afternoon. We can talk about it tomorrow."

Guan Shuzhan finished speaking, turned around and pushed open the office door. He glanced at the time; it was almost five o'clock. He quickly contacted President Ji and asked him not to come over today.

Huo Zhongyuan finally felt extremely anxious. He drove to the Yuanxing International building as fast as he could and parked his car haphazardly, regardless of whether it was illegally parked.

After getting off the car, I strode towards Yuanxing International.

"Ding~"

The elevator doors opened, and ignoring Doya's smiling face, he walked directly towards Sui Sui's office.

Just as Doya's smile appeared, she saw President Huo ignore her and hurriedly walk inside.

She stepped out from behind the counter, watching Huo Zhongyuan's hurried figure, and muttered softly, "What happened? Did something go wrong?"

"Sui Sui!"

Huo Zhongyuan pushed the door open and entered, startling the people who were checking the plan in the small conference room, who all looked up at him.

"Senior brother, what brings you here?"

Qin Suisui got up from the small conference table and walked towards him.

The moment Huo Zhongyuan saw Sui Sui, his tense emotions instantly calmed down.

He frowned, his face unusually serious.

"Sui Sui, I called you, why didn't you answer?"

"ah!"

Qin Suisui glanced at him blankly, then realized that her senior brother's expression was more serious than ever before. She quickly walked to her desk, picked up her phone, and took a look.

In just half an hour, I received over a dozen missed calls! What's going on?

"Senior, we were in a meeting just now, and our phones were on silent!"

She had never seen her senior brother so flustered, and asked hesitantly, "Why did you urgently need to see me?"

"fine!"

Huo Zhongyuan raised his hand as if to pat her head, but seeing that everyone in the small conference room was watching them, he lowered his hand and sighed softly.

I'm worried about you!

He had never mentioned hiring bodyguards to Sui Sui, fearing it would frighten her, so he had never brought it up.

"Worried about me?"

Qin Suisui was slightly taken aback, then raised the corners of her lips, smiling gently and sweetly.

“Aside from work, I spend almost all my time with him. What are you worried about?”

She glanced at her colleagues behind her, then grabbed her senior's hand and walked outside.

The two walked to the tea room, and Qin Suisui looked up at him with bright eyes.

"Please sit down for a while, I'll make you a cup of coffee, okay?"

"good!"

Huo Zhongyuan sat down opposite Qin Suisui and watched her. He saw her grinding coffee beans with her head down. Her fingers were slender and white, and her movements were graceful. Her black hair fell to her chest, and a few strands of hair clung to her cheeks. The black and white hair was distinct, and she had an extremely stunning beauty.

Qin Suisui felt his gaze, looked up at him, and smiled sweetly.

"Senior, are you going back to the company later?"

"I'm not going to the office; I'll wait for you here after get off work!"

That stretch of road had exhausted his energy.

"I might have to stay a little longer!"

Qin Suisui walked up to him with a coffee cup in her hand, and after he took it, she sat down next to him.

She linked her arm with his and looked up at him with a sweet smile.

She instinctively knew that this would soothe her senior brother's emotions and prevent him from tormenting her that night.

Huo Zhongyuan took a sip of coffee with his right hand and pinched her waist with his left.

I'll wait for you no matter how late it is!

Qin Suisui stepped aside and glanced at him sideways.

"Senior brother, please sit here for a while. I'm going to a meeting!"

"Okay, don't worry about me, go to work!"

Huo Zhongyuan put down his coffee cup. He didn't like being disturbed when he was working, so of course he wouldn't stop Sui Sui from taking her work seriously.
