Chapter 78 Follow Your Heart
On Friday, Yan Xisui appeared in the new employee training room on time.
When everyone saw her appear, they were all shocked. She was the rumored first love of Mr. Huo!
She is Yan Xisui!
The news that Yan Xisui was asked by Xu Qingsui to attend the employee training class had already spread throughout the company. Everyone thought that she would not attend. No matter how powerful Xu Qingsui was, he could not compare to Bai Yueguang's lethality.
But now it seems that the old love is no match for the new love.
For a while, everyone in the company was talking about it.
No matter where Xu Qingsui went, people became respectful towards her, but as soon as she left, they would start whispering and discussing the true relationship between her and Huo Xilin.
This situation made Xu Qingsui feel very uncomfortable.
From the beginning to the end, she only wanted to gain recognition from everyone based on her own strength, not because of Huo Xilin.
Xu Qingsui placed the document on Huo Xilin's desk, hesitating a little.
Seeing her standing in front of him, Huo Xilin seemed to be hesitant to speak, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"
Xu Qingsui thought for a moment, then followed his heart and asked, "Have you heard about the gossip circulating in the company recently?"
Huo Xilin raised his eyebrows and said noncommittally: "I heard about it, and then what?"
Seeing Huo Xilin's nonchalant look, Xu Qingsui couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
She sighed and said, "Everyone in the company says that I got to my position because of you. Actually, they are right. If it weren't for my relationship with you, I wouldn't be able to be a special assistant now."
"So?" Huo Xilin asked, "You care about what they say now, so you don't want to do it anymore, right?"
He really did understand her.
Xu Qingsui nodded: "This is unfair to them, and it's not good for your reputation. Besides, I want to get what I want through my own efforts."
Huo Xilin chuckled: "Xu Qingsui, you have experienced so many cruel things, how can you still be so naive?"
"Let me ask you, is there anything truly fair in this world? You said those rumors were bad for my reputation. What reputation? They said I was blinded by lust? Do you think I care about that?"
Huo Xilin's words left Xu Qingsui speechless. She could only remain silent and wait for him to continue.
Huo Xilin stood up, walked around the desk, stood in front of Xu Qingsui, and looked down at her.
Xu Qingsui felt a lot of pressure. She tried her best to stay calm and not show any fear or timidity.
"Do you know what others look like when they stand in front of me?" Huo Xilin suddenly asked.
Xu Qingsui looked up in confusion. She confidently recalled the scenes of the company's employees getting along with Huo Xilin. It seemed that everyone was afraid of Huo Xilin, except her and Yan Xisui, who were relatively calm in front of him.
"I'm telling you the truth. The reason I let you be my special assistant is not because I want to give you special treatment, nor because of your relationship with me, but because it's a good match!"
"Others are always submissive and respectful in front of me, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. Being able to get along with me calmly is a manifestation of strength. Xu Qingsui, sometimes you underestimate yourself and my decision-making."
Xu Qingsui opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't say the words.
"Do you know what your only shortcoming is?" Huo Xilin asked.
Xu Qingsui shook her head. After listening to Huo Xilin's words, she had an illusion that she didn't seem to understand herself, nor did she seem to understand him very well.
"Your only shortcoming is that you care too much about what others think of you. You always live in the eyes of others. You will meet many, many people in your life. No matter what you do, there will be people who will talk about it. Do you care about what you hear?"
Xu Qingsui was speechless. Huo Xilin hit the nail on the head. She cared too much about what others thought of her. She always wanted to do things perfectly, so perfectly that no one could use her to gossip about her.
"People have to follow their own hearts in this life to live a truly easy life. Xu Qingsui, I'm giving you a chance to make your own choice. It's up to you whether you want to be a special assistant or not. Please consider it." After Huo Xilin finished speaking, he raised his hand and gently patted her head, as if to comfort her.
This was a familiar feeling that made Xu Qingsui's heart feel particularly calm.
Follow your heart...
Does she really not want the position of special assistant?
Of course she wanted it. Working with Huo Xilin, she grew very fast. She could learn many things, meet many people, and even go to many places. Huo Xilin was also very patient with her. No matter how naive the questions she asked were, he would answer them carefully.
Unconsciously, he had become a beacon on her life path, teaching her the ways of the world and leading her to a wider world.
Huo Xilin took two cups of coffee and looked at Xu Qingsui's determined eyes. He raised the corners of his lips slightly, handed one of the cups of coffee to her, and asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Xu Qingsui nodded vigorously: "Boss Huo, I'm sorry that I failed your expectations of me. Please give me another chance, and I will definitely follow you unwaveringly!"
Huo Xilin almost spit out the coffee he had just taken a sip of.
He had never seen such a quirky side of Xu Qingsui before. It was really rare.
Huo Xilin had a smile in his eyes without realizing it. He liked Xu Qingsui like this.
"Do you know what to do when facing rumors in the company in the future?"
Xu Qingsui nodded vigorously: "Just ignore it."
No matter how strict the company rules are, they cannot control other people's mouths. Even if they don't say it in the company, they will say it somewhere else. Where there are people, there is gossip, and no one can forcibly stop it.
Since you can't control others, then control yourself. As long as she doesn't care, what does it matter what others say?
Seeing that Xu Qingsui had figured it out, Huo Xilin nodded with satisfaction and couldn't help but sighed: "I'm almost becoming your mentor now."
"Mr. Huo, thank you." Xu Qingsui was grateful and expressed his feelings with words.
"I've told you many times. I don't care about verbal thanks." Huo Xilin moved closer to Xu Qingsui. Their eyes met, and their breaths intertwined.
"Do you know how to express your gratitude?" Huo Xilin raised his thin lips slightly and exhaled a hot breath lightly.
Xu Qingsui's face was very hot. She could still remain calm in the face of the majestic Huo Xilin, but when faced with the bewitching aura of Huo Xilin, she subconsciously just wanted to escape.
