Chapter 45: Suffering the consequences
Fortunately, the car's glass is one-way, so people inside can see outside, but people outside cannot see inside clearly.
Otherwise, with so many people coming and going, Xu Qingsui would wish he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
She reaped the fruits of her own actions. It turns out that not everyone can play jokes on capitalists.
"Mr. Huo, I was wrong." Taking advantage of the time to take a breath, Xu Qingsui begged for mercy pitifully.
Her eyes were red and her lips were shining brightly, just like a peach with dewdrops hanging on it, ready to be picked, which made Huo Xilin feel itchy.
He cursed softly: "Fairy!"
If they were not in the car and Huo Xilin still had a bit of rationality, he would really want to eat her up.
"Go back and see how I deal with you. I'll let you see how powerful capitalists really are." After Huo Xilin finished speaking, he suppressed his anger and returned to the driving seat, trying hard to suppress the restlessness in his heart and not look at Xu Qingsui.
At this moment, Xu Qingsui simply pretended to be dead and pretended not to hear what he said.
It was getting dark when they returned. Xu Qingsui was lying on the passenger seat and fell asleep without knowing when.
The autumn evening breeze blew past, carrying with it dead branches and leaves, bringing waves of coolness.
Huo Xilin opened the car door, took off his coat and put it on Xu Qingsui, then picked her up carefully.
Xu Qingsui woke up when Huo Xilin pressed the elevator floor button.
She opened her hazy eyes, still a little confused by the scene before her.
"Awake." Huo Xilin looked at her dazed appearance and thought she was very cute.
"Where is this?" Xu Qingsui asked softly.
"We'll be home soon." As he was speaking, the elevator door opened and he strode out.
The large apartment where Huo Xilin lives has one household per elevator, so the door to his home is right after he gets out of the elevator.
After knocking gently on the door, Aunt Wang opened it soon. Seeing Boss Huo holding Mrs. Huo, she quickly stepped aside to make way for him, saying enviously, "Boss Huo and Mrs. Huo have a really good relationship."
At this moment, Xu Qingsui finally woke up completely and found himself lying in Huo Xilin's arms.
So he just carried her from the parking lot into the house in this princess-like posture?
Xu Qingsui shyly broke free from Huo Xilin's arms and whispered, "I fell asleep, why didn't you wake me up?"
"It's rare to see you sleeping so soundly, I can't help but want you to sleep a little longer."
Huo Xilin's tone was so gentle and doting that he himself didn't even notice it.
Xu Qingsui couldn't tell what had changed in his heart, he just felt like something was biting at him.
She shook her head, trying to calm herself down.
"I'm going to wash my hands." She was like a coward, eager to escape from the gentle trap that Huo Xilin had set for her.
Huo Xilin laughed softly behind her.
Xu Qingsui's heart beat faster. Although this man usually looked cold, as long as he smiled, he had a charm that no one could resist.
Cold water was poured over his cheeks again and again. Xu Qingsui looked up at himself in the mirror and saw that he really looked like a young woman with amorous feelings.
She slapped her face hard, and the pain brought her back to reality.
She left the bathroom only after she calmed down. Dinner was already on the table, and Aunt Wang changed her shoes in front of the shoe cabinet. "Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo, have finished eating. I'm leaving get off work first."
With the sound of a door closing, Xu Qingsui and Huo Xilin were the only ones left in the huge dining room.
Huo Xilin gestured with his eyes for Xu Qingsui to sit next to him.
She made a bowl of soup for her: "Try it. I noticed that you have a poor appetite recently, so I asked Aunt Wang to make the old duck soup. It is very appetizing."
"Thanks."
Next, the two of them ate quietly. Huo Xi would pick up some food for her from time to time, and every time he picked up something she liked, he would even pick out the peppercorns that she didn't like.
Every time Xu Qingsui was with Huo Xilin, he always had an illusion that he seemed to know her very well.
Her background could be checked, but how did he know her living habits and interests?
Or is all this just a coincidence.
Xu Qingsui finished his dinner absentmindedly.
Huo Xilin put down his chopsticks and asked seriously, "Your department has taken over a foreign project. Did Guo Lin ask you to go on a business trip with him?"
Sure enough, any movement in the company could not escape Huo Xilin's eyes and ears.
Manager Guo told her the news when he was about to get off work, but she didn't expect that he already knew it.
Xu Qingsui nodded and asked, "Don't you want me to go?"
Huo Xilin did not answer her question directly, but asked in return: "What do you think? I want to hear your opinion."
Xu Qingsui hesitated for a moment, and finally said what he really thought: "I want to go!"
She didn't want to miss such a good opportunity. With the experience of this business trip, perhaps as Manager Guo said, she could move up to a higher level in the company.
What's more, she also wanted to go out and broaden her horizons.
Huo Xilin was silent for a long time.
Xu Qingsui was very nervous. She thought that Huo Xilin would not agree to let her go.
She lowered her head, seeming to have accepted her fate.
"Okay, if you want to go, then go."
Xu Qingsui looked up in shock: "Really?"
"Well, you should reply to Manager Guo tomorrow. There are still three days left, so you can take this opportunity to prepare." After saying that, Huo Xilin put the dishes into the kitchen and studied how to wash dishes with the dishwasher.
Xu Qingsui was in a good mood. He followed Huo Xilin and found it funny to see him studying the dishwasher.
As the president of the Huo Group, he has the power to command thousands of troops, but he is helpless against a small dishwasher.
"Let me do it." After Xu Qingsui's operation, the dishwasher started working normally.
"You seem very proud?" Huo Xilin said pretending to be displeased.
He was a president, but he was humiliated by a small employee. He had to vent his anger.
He simply picked the person up and carried him horizontally, then walked straight into the bathroom.
Xu Qingsui once again experienced the consequences of his own actions.
The next day, Xu Qingsui told Manager Guo about his decision to go on the business trip.
But Manager Guo, who should have been happy, had a worried look on his face.
Xu Qingsui's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling, so he asked hurriedly, "Manager, is there something wrong?"
Manager Guo nodded, then shook his head: "There is a little change, but it has no impact on you."
"First, you hand in the documents you need to use to the finance office, and they will book a flight for you. By the way, have you applied for a visa?"
Xu Qingsui nodded: "I have a visa."
"Okay, then go ahead." After Manager Guo finished speaking, he looked at Xu Qingsui, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and his face became even more bitter and resentful, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
