Chapter 139 Washing Away Mrs. Huo's Identity
She didn't care about other people's opinions or views, but she desperately wanted to shed the identity of Mrs. Huo!
She wanted to prove to him that even without him, she could still live a good life. She said that she hadn't earned money in the five years of their marriage because he told her that he was responsible for earning money to support the family, while she was responsible for raising the children and loving him, not because she couldn't earn money.
at this point.
Huo Zhizhou didn't know.
He didn't know that the words he deliberately said to anger Jiang Ruan and make her want a divorce had become the most difficult thorn to remove from Jiang Ruan's heart.
Because he didn't know, even though he loved her and understood her very well, he couldn't understand why she had such strong emotions at this moment: "I didn't ruin your job, nor did I try to interfere with your work."
“In everyone’s eyes, I’m just an ordinary employee.” Jiang Ruan retorted, “You’re a person worth hundreds of billions, and you’re bringing me breakfast. What do you think they’ll think?”
“You work hard, and your boss appreciates you,” Huo Zhizhou said, his thin lips slightly parted.
Jiang Ruan opened her mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.
What he said isn't wrong, but in most cases it will only make people think that the relationship is special or something else. Only a very few people would think the way he does.
"Don't do these meaningless things anymore. I'm just an ordinary employee of Yuanyi." Jiang Ruan just wants to work hard. "I can't withstand the onslaught of rumors, and I don't want my efforts to be in vain."
After saying that, she turned and left without waiting for Huo Zhizhou's reaction.
"Wait a minute," Huo Zhizhou called out to her.
Jiang Ruan had her back to him, her words filled with distance and indifference: "Is there anything else, Mr. Huo?"
"Go back and prepare today. I'm going on a business trip to another city for training next Monday." Huo Zhizhou handed her the document next to him. "It will last for a week."
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Jiang Ruan turned around: "Business trip?"
She took the documents from his hand, glanced at them, and finally her gaze fell on the words "game company under the Huo Group".
“Your painting skills are all quite good, but there’s still a gap compared to those under the Huo Group,” Huo Zhizhou told her, partly out of personal motives and partly out of business. “Go and learn, and strive to make this game the best it can be.”
Jiang Ruan hesitated, holding the document in her hand.
Huo Zhizhou added, "You should also want your first game, which you're officially participating in, to be presented in the most perfect state."
"Why not leave them here as well?" Jiang Ruan changed the subject.
"I need to ask you first. If you're not available or don't want to go, I'll reject this plan," Huo Zhizhou said directly. "I'll only formally notify you if you want to go."
He can increase Yuan Yi's value through other means. Whether the game will be perfectly presented is not his concern. Even if it is not perfect, he can still fulfill his promise to President Song.
He saw Jiang Ruan's efforts in this matter.
He wanted to help her achieve her goals.
"I'm just an employee, I can't make such a big decision, let alone take on such a huge burden." Jiang Ruan didn't like this; the workplace shouldn't be as casual as it is in private.
Huo Zhizhou understood what she meant.
He didn't ask for her opinion again, and directly issued the notice: "Tell the rest of them about this. We'll be leaving next Monday."
"I understand." Jiang Ruan's red lips parted slightly.
She took the document back to her workstation. Besides her, Xue Qian and several others were also on the business trip, some in charge of the scenes, some in charge of the characters, and some in charge of the planning.
She notified them one by one.
Xue Qian was somewhat surprised when she saw it: "Has President Huo gone mad?"
Jiang Ruan: "?"
"He invited us to his company to learn, isn't he afraid someone will steal their ideas?" Xue Qian asked curiously.
“You’re wrong about that,” the concept artist in charge of the scenes said. “Anyone who has ever plagiarized or stolen their work has been sued by their lawyers, and they have a 100% success rate.”
"Jiang Ruan, what exactly is your relationship with President Huo? Why are you being asked to inform him about this?" someone asked.
"I saw that he brought you breakfast this morning."
Does he like you?
The gossip that had been suppressed before resurfaced after this incident, and almost everyone had their own guesses, looking at her with curiosity. Jiang Ruan didn't like this, but she couldn't change people's minds.
"Can you guys stop thinking about love all the time?" Xue Qian said. "Bringing you breakfast means you like it, but does that mean he likes you if he brings you breakfast every day?"
"It's good that you're notifying people. Since everyone here has been assigned notification tasks by Director Luo, does Director Luo like you too?"
Xue Qian unleashed a torrent of words.
No one could argue with her, so they didn't dare to be as gossipy as before.
“Director Luo and President Huo are not of the same status.” Liang Qi, who hadn’t said much until now, spoke up. Ever since Jiang Ruan overheard their conversation, their relationship had gradually deteriorated.
At first, she wanted to ease the tension.
But Jiang Ruan always ignored her and acted superior, so she couldn't be bothered to try to please her.
"Most importantly, Director Luo always calls us by our first names when he asks us to do anything," Liang Qi continued. "But President Huo calls her Ruan Ruan. And considering what happened before, do you dare say that President Huo has simple feelings for Jiang Ruan?"
Everyone pursed their lips, not daring to say anything more.
Liang Xi's words were too direct; they didn't sound like gossip, but rather like he was eager to condemn something.
Xue Qian had never liked her, so much so that she blurted out a sarcastic remark: "What does it matter to you whether I'm simple or not? It's just a title, and you're already happy about it?"
"I'm just stating the facts," Liang Xi said calmly. "If she really had nothing to do with President Huo, why doesn't she deny it?"
These words came out.
All eyes were on Jiang Ruan.
In fact, most people are just bored and gossiping, simply watching the drama unfold.
Only a very few people, like Liang Xi, are eager to learn about someone's scandals through gossip, using them as fodder for conversation.
"Jiang Ruan." Seeing that things had progressed sufficiently, Bai Jian asked her in a calm voice, "Do you have anything to explain or deny?"
Jiang Ruan: "No."
Liang Qi spread her hands: "Look, even she herself..."
Jiang Ruan continued, "I can't bite back every time a dog bites me. It's a waste of time and energy, not worth it."
"You!" Liang Qi was caught off guard by this remark, and her face flushed red instantly.
Jiang Ruan didn't even glance at her.
Liang Qi clenched her fists and finally blurted out, "Don't think I don't know what kind of relationship you have with President Huo. You're just a mistress who can't be seen in public. What's so great about you?"
"If I were really Huo Zhizhou's mistress, do you think you could still stay in Yuanyi?" Jiang Ruan said, her gaze fixed on her, carrying a sense of pressure.
Liang Qi's expression froze.
Jiang Ruan then said, "Do you have any evidence that I'm a mistress?"
