Chapter 69 Crossing the Line
"Okay, I will work hard!" Xu Qingsui secretly made up her mind that she must work harder to make herself worthy of this position.
"Then what do I need to do next? Please let Mr. Huo tell me the task." Xu Qingsui sat upright, like an obedient student.
Huo Xilin picked up a stack of documents that had been prepared on the table and moved them to Xu Qingsui's table: "Here are some of the company's successful project cases in recent years. You can familiarize yourself with them first, especially the business model and management model of the partner company, as well as the personality of the president of the other company."
The things that Huo Xilin handed over to Xu Qingsui were all confidential information of the Huo Group over the years. Except for the annual board meeting when they were circulated to shareholders, only Huo Xilin was qualified to view them at other times. Anyone else who wanted to view them had to get his consent.
And now, he was easily handed over to Xu Qingsui.
Does he trust her like this?
Xu Qingsui picked up the top book and started reading. It recorded a bridge construction project that had made a sensation in the world a few years ago. Now the bridge has been completed and opened to traffic. Most people around the world are familiar with the name of the bridge.
"You take a look first. If you have any questions, you can ask me." After saying that, Huo Xilin returned to his seat to continue processing the documents.
Xu Qingsui read very seriously. She was very interested in these projects. Every time she turned a book, it was like opening the door to a new world. This was knowledge that she could not access anywhere else.
She was so serious that she didn't even notice someone coming in.
When Yan Xisui saw Xu Qingsui sitting by the window, she was shocked and jealous: "Brother Lin, why is she here?"
Huo Xi didn't even raise his head and responded casually: "She will be my special assistant in the future. This is her office."
Special assistant?
Yan Xisui couldn't believe her ears. Xu Qingsui hadn't been to the company for such a long time, and as soon as he came back, he was transferred to Huo Xilin as a special assistant. Why?
She worked hard for a long time and even borrowed the relationship of Mrs. Huo to get a small secretary position.
Yan Xisui tried hard to calm herself down. She knew Huo Xilin hated others influencing his decisions, and she couldn't let herself leave a bad impression in his mind.
"Brother Lin, although Miss Xu is quite capable, isn't it a little inappropriate for her to be your special assistant? If my godmother knew, she would have objections, and she would have a bad impression of Miss Xu."
Without waiting for Huo Xilin to speak, Yan Xisui hurriedly explained for herself: "I'm not questioning whether your decision is wrong. I'm just afraid that godmother will be angry and it will be bad for her health. And I'm also afraid that this little thing will affect the mother-son relationship between you and godmother."
Huo Xilin did not appreciate Yan Xisui's seemingly caring words. He said coldly, "This doesn't seem to be something you should care about, right?"
Yan Xisui looked stunned, and then a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face. She was obviously extremely angry in her heart, but she couldn't show it, so she could only endure it for the time being.
She pretended to be sad and upset and said, "Brother Lin, you said that even if we are not lovers anymore, we can still be brother and sister. Just think of it as me, your sister, worrying about you and thinking about you. Is this wrong?"
"Even siblings should have a sense of propriety and boundaries. Moreover, this is a company. I am the superior and you are the subordinate. Don't you know what you should and shouldn't manage? Perhaps you should attend some work training."
Yan Xisui: “…”
Huo Xilin actually didn't give her face in front of Xu Qingsui, or was he doing it on purpose for Xu Qingsui to see?
It must have been that woman who instigated it. Yan Xisui glanced at Xu Qingsui and found that she was still reading a book and didn't seem to care about what was happening on their side.
But the more Xu Qingsui acted as if it had nothing to do with him, the angrier Yan Xisui became. She must have done it on purpose to show her, even though she was obviously very happy in her heart.
I don't know what kind of seductive tricks she used to make Huo Xilin make an exception and promote her to be a special assistant, and even arranged their offices together. It was obvious that she had bad intentions!
"Is there anything else? If not, get out." Seeing Yan Xisui still standing there in a daze, Huo Xilin simply ordered her to leave.
"Yes!" Yan Xisui gritted her teeth and said what she was thinking: "Brother Lin, I want to work here too. Please put my desk next to Special Assistant Xu!"
"No!" Huo Xilin simply refused.
"Why can she do it but I can't?" Yan Xisui pointed at Xu Qingsui: "Didn't she get to this position by selling her body? Brother Lin, if she can give you something, so can I!"
Yan Xisui wanted to endure it, but she couldn't. She was unwilling to accept it. Huo Xilin clearly belonged to her from the beginning, but Xu Qingsui took him away from her just because he looked like her.
What right does a substitute have to compete with her?
"Yan Xisui, please watch your words!" For the first time, Huo Xilin was visibly angry.
Yan Xisui stood there in a daze. She couldn't believe her eyes at that moment. Even when she looked into Huo Xilin's eyes, a feeling of fear arose in her heart.
She had never seen Huo Xilin like this before.
At this moment, she was not sure whether Huo Xilin was just physically obsessed with Xu Qingsui or was truly in love with him.
Xu Qingsui was finally startled by the noise they made. She looked up at Yan Xisui, who was filled with fear, and Huo Xilin, who was filled with anger.
She was so focused on reading the documents just now that she didn't even know what they were arguing about.
"Get out!" Huo Xilin said.
Yan Xisui ran out of the office crying, and cast a hateful look at Xu Qingsui as she left.
Xu Qingsui was puzzled by the look and guessed that maybe the quarrel between the two was related to her.
"Mr. Huo, is it because my identity as special assistant has caused dissatisfaction among the company's employees?" Xu Qingsui asked in a low voice.
Huo Xilin snorted coldly: "They don't have the guts to be dissatisfied with the decision I made!"
"So what was the argument between you and Miss Yan just now?" Xu Qingsui asked tentatively.
But after asking, she regretted it. She was just a subordinate and should just complete the tasks assigned by her boss. How could she ask about her boss's private affairs?
So she quickly said, "I'm sorry, I crossed the line and shouldn't have asked about your private affairs."
Huo Xilin's expression softened, and he changed his cold attitude towards Yan Xisui and said gently: "Whether you are Mrs. Huo or Special Assistant Xu, you have the right to ask about my private affairs."
"Secretary Yan violated the company's rules and regulations. We asked her to go to training for another day on Friday. If she still doesn't comply with the rules, she will be fired next time. You will handle this matter."
