Chapter 52 Dilemma
Jian Mo clapped her hands and was about to leave when the door of the lounge suddenly opened.
Huo Qi Chen had just finished taking a shower, his hair was wet, and he was wearing a white shirt with two buttons on the collar undone, revealing his delicate collarbone.
The water on her hair slid down her neck. Jian Mo opened her eyes wide and swallowed subconsciously.
Huo Qichen stopped wiping his hair with a towel and narrowed his eyes: "Jian Mo? What are you doing up here?"
"I... uh, I came to bring you breakfast..."
For a moment, Jian Mo didn't know whether to leave or stay. She pointed at the food on the table with her clumsy hands.
How could she explain that she didn't mean it? She didn't expect that there was a shower in Huo Qichen's office!
Huo Qi Chen was suspicious and walked over. The curve of his body when he bent down was very attractive.
After reading the words on the sticky note, he curled his lips and said, "You still have some conscience."
But what are these greasy things?
Before Jian Mo could explain, she heard voices outside. It was the secretarial staff coming to work.
It's over, there's no way to explain it. Jian Mo was in a panic and frantically gestured to Huo Qichen, asking him to save her.
Huo Qichen pursed his lips and picked up his breakfast, "Come with me."
The lounge door was closed and locked.
Soon someone knocked on the door. It was Mu Yi's voice, "Mr. Huo, are you in there? I saw water droplets in the office."
Jian Mo leaned against the door, her heart in her throat, and she even forgot to breathe.
Huo Qichen sat down on the sofa, expressionless: "Well, I need to rest for a while, don't disturb me."
Mu Yi paused, "Did you work overtime last night? Why didn't you notify me to help? I..."
"go out."
Mu Yi froze for a few seconds, replied okay, and turned to leave.
Jian Mo slid and sat in front of Huo Qichen, her face full of despair. "What should I do now? Your secretary has come to work. How am I supposed to get out?"
Huo Qichen's office is closely connected to the secretary's office, so they can see anyone who goes out!
If she were caught coming out of his lounge... she would be famous.
Huo Qichen seemed not to hear, but opened the greasy lunch box, laid out the dishes one by one, and frowned in disgust: "What are these?"
"It's delicious!" Jian Mo became even more anxious and picked up the chopsticks to order. "It's flat meat, with thin skin and lots of meat. The shrimp inside is this big!"
"The meat buns are filled with the freshest pork belly and chopped green onions from the morning market. They are so delicious!"
"And this soy milk, made by soaking soybeans overnight and then hand-grinding them the next day, is absolutely authentic and nutritious."
Jian Mo knows them all like the back of her hand.
Huo Qi Chen narrowed her eyes. She was sitting in a room on the top floor of Haicheng at this moment. Behind her were rolling traffic and countless buildings. She was second only to the emperor, but she seemed so natural sitting here introducing cheap breakfast, without a bit of incongruity.
"I only eat toast and drink Americano in the morning."
Jian Mo's enthusiasm was abruptly extinguished. Although she knew that the things she bought were not worth mentioning to him, for some reason, she just hoped to get his approval.
"Well... this is a very luxurious breakfast for us working people. Don't regret it if you don't eat it. I'll eat it!"
Jian Mo pretended to be indifferent. She picked up a bun and was about to stuff it into her mouth when Huo Qichen suddenly grabbed it and said, "Who said I don't want to eat it?"
Huo Qichen eats very elegantly. Even when he eats buns, he is pleasing to the eye and not shy at all.
Jian Mo was a little stunned, and saw the corners of the man's eyes turned up, "The taste is just average, not as good as before."
She was even more surprised. This meant that Huo Qichen had also lived an ordinary life, but shouldn't he have lived a life of luxury since childhood?
"Yes...really? Have you eaten it?"
"When I was very young." Huo Qi Chen thought of something distant and did not elaborate.
Jian Mo understood and didn't ask any further questions. She turned around and saw the beautiful scenery below. She felt a sense of joy as if she was overlooking the world.
"It's really beautiful. It should be even more beautiful if you see the night view at night."
Huo Qichen took a sip of the soy milk and it was indeed as mellow as she said.
"like?"
"I like it, but I'm afraid you'll feel lonely if you stay here for too long." Jian Mo hugged her knees and sighed, "After all, it's lonely up there."
Hearing this, Huo Qichen paused his chewing movements slightly, and a palpitation began in his heart.
She was the first woman to come to his private lounge, and the first to express the emotions he had kept hidden for so many years.
But at that moment, Huo Qichen felt a sense of rejection in his heart. No, this person shouldn't be her...
"You know what it means to be lonely at the top? Have you figured out how to get out?"
Jian Mo immediately pulled herself out of her emo mood. "It's over! It's almost time. Song Ke will definitely give me trouble if she sees that I didn't clock in. Ah! I've lost my perfect attendance record this month!"
What could be more desperate than being in the company but not being able to punch in?
"Has Song Ke decided who to give the beverage company's order to?" Huo Qi Chen suddenly remembered this little thing.
"No, she probably wants to do it herself."
Jian Mo tried hard but didn't get a satisfactory result.
Huo Qichen leaned on the sofa, his collar open, looking a little lazy. "I heard your new director has a bad reputation. Why don't you complain to me?"
Jian Mo laughed out loud, "I'm not a child, and do you believe everything I say? If President Huo was partial, she wouldn't be given the position of director, right?"
She is quite insightful.
Huo Qichen stood up and walked to the cloakroom to put on a coat. "Wait here. Don't come out without my order."
Only after he left did Jian Mo dare to look around the place.
It's very big, at least 150 square meters, with a dressing room, a small bar, a bathroom, a bedroom, and everything you need.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is his second home.
Her legs were numb, so she crawled to the sofa and sat down, waiting for orders.
In the office.
"Go send this document to Planlan Capital. The details of the contract still need to be touched upon."
Mu Yi took the document and said yes. At the end, she couldn't help but secretly look at Huo Qichen. He looked the same as before.
He rarely stayed in the lounge these days, so why was he...
"Any questions?"
"Oh no, I'll be right there."
"Call the remaining people in. I have something to tell you."
"good."
There are four people in the secretariat, including Mu Yi, and they are all the most capable in coordination.
They walked into the office respectfully, feeling awe in the face of this indifferent man.
"Mr. Huo, you are looking for us."
Huo Qichen hummed, "Go to the Publicity Department and bring me the publicity plan for the new project."
"What's going on with the finance department? The new quarter's report hasn't been submitted yet. Go and rush them to see it. I want to see it today."
"And the venture capital, tell Alex that if we can't find suitable investment, the entire team will go home."
