Chapter 37 Caught in the act
"Hidden illness?" Colleagues looked at each other in confusion.
Jian Mo didn't want to spread rumors about Huo Qichen, but thinking about how much advantage she had given him this morning, she had to take it back!
So she lied calmly, "Yeah, it's my husband. He's had bad legs and feet since he was a kid, so he doesn't like to see people. Men, after all, have a stronger sense of self-esteem in this regard, you know."
After these words were spoken, the design department fell silent for a few seconds, looking at Jian Mo with eyes full of sympathy. Even Song Ke sneered, "You really are a saint. You are willing to sacrifice the rest of your life for this."
"You can't say that. Who made him love me to death? Love is a wonderful thing. Even if the mountains fall and the sky merge, I will never break up with you!"
Jian Mo put her hands on the sides of her face and exaggeratedly imagined how Huo Qichen loved her to death, and she was shaking with laughter.
"Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo...are you off work?" Xiao Chen suddenly looked behind Jian Mo, his voice shaking.
Jian Mo's smile had not yet faded, "Mr. Huo, what Mr. Huo?"
However, when she turned her head, Huo Qichen's handsome face appeared in front of her, just like the scene when she woke up in the morning.
As gloomy as ever.
He put his hands in his pockets, his black trousers tightly wrapped around his legs. When he looked down at Jian Mo, there was always a strong sense of oppression.
"..." Jian Mo took a step back in fright, and accidentally tripped over a chair, falling to the ground in a strange posture.
The office suddenly burst into laughter.
Help, why is it that ever since I met Huo Qichen, dramas keep happening every day!
Huo Qichen glanced at the woman lying on the ground, a smile flashed across his originally gloomy eyes, and he replied to Xiao Chen, "Well, I passed by the design department and came to take a look. Let's go home from get off work."
After saying that, he strode away, and Mu Yi hurriedly followed him. After walking a few steps, he turned back and saw Jian Mo had just gotten up and was rubbing his wrist.
Mu Yi's eyes dimmed slightly.
Huo Qichen had a social event today and brought along Mr. Li from the Human Resources Department. He was considered a veteran of the company and was trustworthy.
When the social gathering ended, Huo Qichen casually said, "There's a vacancy in the design department. It's not going to last long. Do you have anyone in mind who can take over?"
Mr. Li was stunned by the question and his mind raced, thinking about the man's intention in asking this question.
Ever since he asked him to help Jian Mo last time, he guessed that there was something fishy going on.
In the night, Huo Qichen glanced at him with a very penetrating look, "Don't always try to guess what I'm thinking. Just say what you think."
"...I think both Jian Mo and Song Ke are quite capable. Jian Mo is bold and decisive, and capable of taking on major responsibilities. Her downside is that she's only recently emerged, and compared to Song Ke, she's less experienced and accomplished. But Song Ke is different. She's signed many contracts for the Huo company and won many awards in recent years, so I personally think Song Ke is definitely superior."
Mr. Li looked at the young man's face, afraid that he might say something wrong.
Even though he is so much younger than me, his aura is so suffocating.
"Then what?"
Mr. Li didn't understand, "And then... what?"
Huo Qichen's tone was cold, "You mentioned Jian Mo's shortcomings, but you didn't mention Song Ke's shortcomings."
Mr. Li was stunned on the spot. Mu Yi, who had been standing by and observing his words and expressions, spoke up to help. "Mr. Li has a point, but when someone with more experience takes the position, we must not let them be like Wang Juan did last time, where her unworthy character caused a major impact."
After saying that, she looked at Huo Qichen cautiously. The man was looking into the distance with a superior jawline. It was unknown what he was thinking.
According to her understanding of Huo Qichen, even if he has biases towards someone, he will still handle things impartially.
About half a minute later, Huo Qichen nodded and said, "Go back. I'll think about it."
