The next day, Jiang Can dragged her aching body to work.
Fu Xiuyu assigned her many more tasks, completely unaware of her unusual behavior. Jiang Can was too embarrassed to tell her about it, so she could only force herself to work despite her exhaustion.
While busy, I secretly sighed, determined never to let this man run wild just because of a few touching words!
Suddenly someone knocked on her desk, accompanied by a loud voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Jiang Can looked up and saw Fu Xiuyu standing in front of her.
Her office was located just outside the president's office, making it convenient for Fu Xiuyu to call her at any time.
"Oh, no." Jiang Can shook her head awkwardly.
Fu Xiuyu squinted, a smile playing on her lips, and lowered her voice, saying, "Could it be... that we were too rough last night?"
Jiang Can was shocked, her face flushed crimson, and she jumped to her feet. "President Fu, you..."
"It's nothing, it's nothing, what's there to be embarrassed about with me!" Fu Xiuyu laughed heartily. "How about this, I'll give you half a day off, go back and get some rest..."
"No, let's not!" Jiang Can hurriedly interrupted.
If I take half a day off and go back, Huo Zhixing will definitely take advantage of me again!
Thinking of this, she suddenly shuddered... It seemed that Huo Zhixing was always home whenever Fu Xiuyu said she would have a day off...
What else can Huo Zhixing do at home? Of course, he asks her for pocket money!
Jiang Can glanced at Fu Xiuyu's sly smile and instantly understood...
She truly is my mother!
"Yes, yes!" Fu Xiuyu pulled her up, her eyes crinkling into slits with laughter. "Health is the foundation of everything! Only when you're well-rested can I hold my grandson sooner..."
"Oh no, no! It's... that way we can create more value for the company!"
Honestly, I accidentally let slip my true feelings again!
Jiang Can smiled helplessly, and then saw Fu Xiuyu immediately take out her phone.
"Hello, son?"
"What? You're not home? Oh... the auction?"
"Okay, that works!" Fu Xiuyu nodded. "I'll take Cancan over to you right away!"
While Jiang Can was still in a daze, Fu Xiuyu had already pushed her out of the president's office and taken her downstairs by her personal driver.
...
The auction was a grand affair, attracting celebrities and collectors from all over the world.
Huo Zhixing didn't want to show up, but since the Huo family was assisting in the event, he had to be there. Just as he was feeling annoyed, he received a call from his mother, telling him to bring Jiang Can over.
His icy expression softened with a smile again.
A mother is a mother; she creates every opportunity for her son and daughter-in-law to be alone together.
Therefore, he cannot disappoint his mother's hopes; he must marry Jiang Can this year!
Oh no, it's that he married into the family.
It would be best if she was pregnant when they got married...
No, that's not right. The little dumpling in the dream was fierce, he doesn't want that!
Fang Han watched his expression shift from dark to light, and suddenly remembered Bai Jingyuan's question—
What are the symptoms of mental illness?
It seems that's how it is.
Fang Han sighed, just then Jiang Can walked gracefully over from not far away.
It was as if all the light in the world was falling on her.
Huo Zhixing laughed heartily, took her hand, and the two of them standing together attracted a lot of attention.
"What do you want later?" he whispered. "I'll take a picture of it."
"No need." Jiang Can stretched slightly, smiled and said, "I just hope the event ends soon so I can go back and get a good night's sleep."
"Sleep? Sure!" he laughed. "I'll keep you company."
"Huo Zhixing!" Jiang Can scolded him softly, "I meant real sleep, not the kind you're talking about..."
Which one am I referring to?
"..."
Jiang Can remained silent, having been tricked again.
Huo Zhixing put his arm around her slender waist.
Several foreigners passed by them, and Huo Zhixing raised his glass and smiled in greeting.
His gesture of raising his glass conveniently blocked Jiang Can's view.
Fang Han continued to sigh, realizing deeply that following them was a mistake!
I wonder if we could discuss with his son about adding a clause to employee benefits: guaranteed girlfriend placement?
well……
Just then, a figure in a rose-red dress walked towards the two of them from a distance, holding a champagne glass.
Huo Zhixing was about to leave, but Jiang Can tugged at him and gave him a wink.
It's just Yao Manning, isn't it? She's not some monster...
Jiang Can pouted and immediately switched to battle mode.
"Miss Yao!" she greeted with a radiant smile.
"Oh, so Miss Jiang is here too!" Yao Manning raised her chin, maintaining a superficial politeness.
Huo Zhixing didn't want to say much to Yao Manning, so he whispered to Jiang Can, "There are some friends over there, I'll take you to meet them."
“Hey, Zhixing!” Yao Manning walked up to him. “I just happened to run into you. There’s something I’d like to discuss with you about the West Suburbs project.”
Huo Zhixing gave her a cold glance. "What?"
"The project is progressing smoothly so far, but two partners feel that the construction period is too long and they can't afford to wait, so they want to withdraw early."
"It's not a big deal," he said casually. "As long as the procedures comply with the agreement, we won't stop them from withdrawing if they want to."
“Hmm,” Yao Manning said softly, “but this might delay the construction period. To prevent this from happening, I’ve recommended two more partners. I’ve sent the list and information to your email. Please take a look!”
"good."
"Zhixing!" Yao Manning looked at him. "Anyway, the auction hasn't started yet, so why don't you take a look first? We can discuss it then, right?"
She deliberately emphasized the words "us" so that Jiang Can could hear them.
Even if she can't get Huo Zhixing, she won't let Jiang Can have it too easy!
Huo Zhixing glanced at her, his arm still around Jiang Can. "We need to report to the boss before making a decision about changing partners."
"Boss?" These two words were completely unexpected by Yao Manning.
"Yes." Huo Zhixing's expression was cold as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly, "He's the overall person in charge of the entire western suburbs project!"
"But... you acquired this land, and you're responsible for it!"
“No, that’s not it.” He smiled. “The boss is my wife.”
Jiang Can paused for a moment, but quickly realized that this was just something he said to Yao Manning!
He just wanted to avoid getting entangled with Yao Manning.
She chuckled softly, her little head involuntarily leaning against his shoulder.
Yao Manning gritted her teeth, thinking he was joking, and gave Jiang Can a cold look before saying softly, "Zhixing, Miss Jiang doesn't seem to know much about business matters."
"I will produce the detailed analysis report. She just needs to be able to understand it."
"This is no child's play!" Yao Manning's expression changed. "Are you really going to let her make the decision?"
"Otherwise what?" Huo Zhixing curled his lips, his eyes full of mockery.
"Ha, I never would have guessed that the Third Master of the Huo family would listen to women so much!"
"No, that's not true," Huo Zhixing laughed. "You're a woman too, and I've never heard of you before!"
