Chapter 223: Work Goes Wrong
She handed over a small paper bag and said, "I saw that Brother Huo hasn't eaten yet. Please give this to him for me. If he asked you to lose it, please tell him to remember to eat."
The secretary was about to refuse, but the other party interrupted him, "Don't forget, my last name is Wen."
This surname is enough to scare people.
The secretary took it hesitantly, and Wen Yuan bent down to thank him.
But he was still nervous when he handed it to Huo Qichen. After explaining the whole story, Huo Qichen didn't even show much emotion. As expected, he just said, "It's lost."
The secretary choked and thought that she had guessed Huo Qichen right.
Before throwing the things into the trash can, he opened it and took a look. There were some exquisite food inside, all of which were what Huo Qichen usually liked, and a note.
Huo Qichen didn't even look at it...
The secretary hardened his heart and threw the things into the trash can.
Wen Yuan, who was far away, saw the whole scene. She looked away, feeling so sad that she couldn't breathe.
The meeting will last for one day, which means that Wen Yuan and Huo Qi Chen can stay in the same place during this day.
Although they are not together in the true sense, this is enough to make Wen Yuan happy.
Because of work reasons, the secretary often met Wen Yuan. He felt very pressured, fearing that she would ask him to say something unpleasant in front of Huo Qi Chen again, but that didn't happen.
Wen Yuan seemed to come to her senses and was just polite and businesslike towards him, without saying anything else.
She was in charge of the entire meeting, a task assigned to her by her superior. Normally, she would have been more restrained and not been aggressive, but since this meeting involved Huo Qi Chen, she happily took it on.
She had already caused dissatisfaction among many colleagues before, and now she was even more angry and caused a lot of trouble for Wen Yuan.
The ways of the world are the same everywhere. Moreover, she deliberately concealed her identity, which made people disrespect her.
In the evening, the sky was filled with rosy clouds. In the hotel's buffet restaurant, Wen Yuan sat in a corner by the window, editing something on her laptop, with only a cup of black coffee at hand.
She looked focused, the sunset rays shining through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto her face, and she looked very gentle.
At this moment, two colleagues who were sitting with her came over and whispered, "Wen Yuan?"
Wen Yuan looked up.
In fact, their qualifications are higher than Wen Yuan's, so they are the most dissatisfied that this meeting was given to Wen Yuan to write.
Suddenly being so gentle, Wen Yuan narrowed her eyes: "What's wrong?"
They looked embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking, "We need to send the article we are about to publish to Huo's for review, but we just discovered that there is a big mistake we made due to negligence... Can you help explain it or find a way to get it back for revisions?"
Wen Yuan understood and asked, why is he suddenly so good-tempered? It turns out that he is making things difficult for her again.
She sneered, "Such an important article, you are so careless, it will affect the entire company!"
She knew Huo Qichen's temper best. He couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes, and making mistakes in small matters was unforgivable. If he found out about this, their company would lose the right to report on this matter. It would even affect their future path. This loss would be devastating.
The women in front of him were really panicked and softened their tempers. "We didn't mean to do that. We just checked and found that it had been handed in. We saw that you and Mr. Huo's secretary seemed to know each other. Can you help us?"
They hardened their hearts and continued, "Besides, we are on the same road. If something really happens, you will be held responsible."
This is to drag her down with him.
Wen Yuan was so angry that she laughed, her words sharp, "Then do you think that if I try my best to deny any involvement, will the higher-ups believe me? You also said that I know Huo Qichen's secretary. If he helps to exonerate me, you will be the only ones to be punished."
She had always been gentle and had never spoken so harshly. The other party was shocked by her and felt that she had hit a sore spot. She was so angry that she almost jumped up and down, "Wen Yuan!"
Wen Yuan didn't want to talk to them anymore, so she closed the computer, held it in her arms and left.
It's not that she doesn't want to help, but she really can't accept being forced to help with this attitude.
After returning to the room, she calmed down a little. She said it so absolutely, but she was not sure in her heart. She just wanted to scare them.
Get the manuscript back. It seems that she has to do this now, whether she wants to or not.
But how to do it?
Wen Yuan has always hoped that she could appear in front of Huo Qichen cleanly and not be looked down upon by him. If she spoke directly, whether Huo Qichen would pay attention to her was another matter, but even if he did, he would definitely not have a good impression of her because he hated people who made mistakes.
The more Wen Yuan thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she threw her phone to the ground.
But in the end, he resigned himself to his fate, picked up his phone, and walked out of the room.
She calculated that Huo Qichen was having dinner at this time. She had heard about the room he was staying in before, so she entered the elevator with ease, but before going in, she went to the hotel's logistics department.
She showed her ID to prove her identity. "Because I'm a mysophobe, I want to clean my room myself. Can I borrow one of your clothes?"
They carefully checked her ID and lent her a set of cleaning staff clothes without any doubt.
Wen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and changed her clothes. She felt a little desperate while doing so. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Wen family. Why did she end up like this?
There were people guarding outside Huo Qichen's room, as meticulous and reserved as before. Wen Yuan was wearing a mask, so they didn't recognize her and let her in on the pretext of "cleaning."
The hotel's presidential suite was fully equipped with many things, but the huge room was empty. He must not be there.
In order to show that she was really cleaning, Wen Yuan really tidied up briefly, and then moved to Huo Qi Chen's bedroom. Under the light, everything was lying quietly, and Wen Yuan could smell the smell of tobacco on Huo Qi Chen.
She suddenly felt a little sad and squatted down to help him tidy up the things on the bedside table.
It's strange. Huo Qichen has always been a tidy person, but his bedside table is a mess.
After sorting it out, I realized that it was piled with picture albums and notes, all covered with marks. On the blank space, there was a picture of a pig, and three words were written very clearly next to it: Huo Qichen.
Wen Yuan opened the title page almost tremblingly, and sure enough, the name on it was Jian Mo.
Her handwriting is very beautiful.
There are also several small rubber bands and hairpins placed next to the album, which are obviously used by women. There are even sanitary napkins prepared!
Wen Yuan was certain that Jian Mo and Huo Qi Chen lived here together. Seeing how they got along from a close distance, they must have a relaxed life, otherwise Huo Qi Chen would not allow Jian Mo to be so casual in his place.
Letting her into his world is itself a kind of trust and...love.
This is something Wen Yuan never got in her entire life.
She forced back the soreness in her eyes and entered the study next to the bedroom without permission.
