After Huo Xiao took all the blame on himself, fewer people started to scold Yan Xi.
But netizens focused their fire on Huo Xiao, and the comment section under his Weibo post was completely flooded.
All of Huo Xiao's past was exposed in an instant.
Some employees who had been fired by him came out to say that he was harsh on his employees and was moody. The women who had been rejected by him also started to play the victim.
In just two days, Huo Xiao went from being praised by the entire network to being criticized by the entire network, and his reputation plummeted.
System 5555 also reminded Yan Xi that his task progress had suddenly increased by 65%.
Yan Xi felt strange. Even if their affair was discovered and Huo Xiao's reputation was damaged, it shouldn't be so exaggerated, right?
After all, he was also involved in the incident, so he deserved to be scolded by the whole network and his reputation was not good either.
Remembering that Huo Xiao had specifically told him not to read any news online, Yan Xi hurriedly turned on his phone to search the Internet.
Sure enough, the direction of public opinion changed.
Huo Xiao was scolded like a sieve, and he and Su Ying became innocent victims.
Moreover, it was Huo Xiao who took the initiative and personally took all the blame.
Yan Xi felt mixed emotions and immediately called Huo Xiao.
Huo Xiao, demoted but having to deal with the negative impact caused by him, was so busy at the company that he kept himself busy. He had serious dark circles and bags under his eyes, and bloodshot eyes. He looked like he hadn't slept well in the past two days. When he found out that Yan Xi had called, he quickly stopped his work and pretended to be relaxed and answered the phone: "Yan Xi, what's wrong?"
“I’ve read all the news online.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiao's face froze and he didn't speak immediately.
Yan Xi asked with a stern face, "Why are you doing this? Don't you want your future? If you talk like this, how are you going to gain a foothold in the imperial capital, or even in the business and financial circles?"
Huo Xiao lowered his eyes, touched the mouse beside him, and said in a low voice, "I don't want to see them scolding you like that, and this is my fault in the first place, it has nothing to do with you."
"What do you mean it doesn't matter?" Yan Xi couldn't sit still anymore and said excitedly, "Huo Xiao, we are lovers now and will be lifelong partners. Your business is my business. We share the same fate. You don't want to see them scolding me, and I don't want to either. You haven't come to see me these past few days, and you don't allow me to come to see you. Are you planning to completely sever ties with me?"
Huo Xiao: "That's not what I meant. I said I would protect you. At this critical moment, I can't let them stimulate... you."
The doctor said that he can't withstand any more severe blows now, otherwise it will be very dangerous.
Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant, and her nose felt hot, "Huo Xiao, you idiot."
He found that his voice was a little trembling, and he hurriedly adjusted his breathing, fearing that Huo Xiao would hear it.
This guy still thinks he doesn't know.
Even now she still wants to hide it from him.
But in order to reassure him, Yan Xi pretended to be stupid and pretended that she knew nothing.
Huo Xiao asked him to stay in the hospital, and he stayed there obediently without asking why.
Huo Xiao chuckled, not angry at all, "This is the first time I've heard someone call me stupid."
Yan Xi snorted and rolled his eyes, "Humph, what's the matter, are you still proud?"
Huo Xiao: "Well, I am indeed very proud."
Yan Xi: “…”
"Don't talk nonsense to me. You must come over tonight and show me yourself. Let me see if you have become particularly haggard and ugly."
"good."
"You have to come over. If you don't come over, I'll leave the hospital and run out onto the street to be scolded."
Hearing this, Huo Xiao felt helpless and said, "I will definitely come."
"Yeah, mua, bye." Yan Xi was so disgusted that he almost drove System 5555 to death.
System 5555: "I feel a little full."
Yan Xi: "Oh, you're eating dog food. Don't eat too much, or you'll turn into a dog."
System 5555: “…” If you don’t force-feed me, would I eat so much?
——
Around eleven o'clock in the evening, the busy Huo Xiao could finally stop.
As soon as he stopped, he found that his back, shoulders and neck were sore. The slightest movement made him frown in pain.
With a "Ding Dong" sound, Liu Yang sent a message to remind him to come downstairs quickly. He was already waiting downstairs.
[Boss, if you don’t come down, I’m going to fall asleep.]
Huo Xiao replied to him straightforwardly: [Go back, it’s not good to drive while tired.]
Liu Yang: […I was just joking.]
Hey, Mr. Huo... you have no sense of humor at all. No, he is no longer Mr. Huo. He has been demoted to a small project manager.
However, Liu Yang felt that he would be able to make a comeback!
Huo Xiao, the last one to leave, packed up his documents and prepared to turn off the lights, but the moment he stood up, the lights flickered. Huo Xiao stood up and looked up in confusion. When he lowered his head again, there was a person at the office door.
He was hiding in the darkness, and Huo Xiao couldn't see his face clearly, but the man dressed in ancient costume made him alert and tensed up. "Who are you?"
The man stepped forward, revealing his blurry face. His tone was flat as he spoke, "I didn't expect you to be able to turn the tide in just a few days. And even win his heart. Honestly, I underestimated you."
Seeing him, Huo Xiao instantly remembered the stranger he had seen on the street before. He clenched his fists, took a defensive stance, and narrowed his eyes. "It's you again! What do you want to do? We have no grudges against each other, why are you doing this to me?"
