Of course Huo Qinian would not go back. He ignored Mr. Huo's roar on the phone and even responded calmly: "I know, I will go back as soon as possible."
Mr. Huo knew that he didn't take it to heart.
He didn't waste his words and just sneered: "You will regret it sooner or later!"
Huo Qinian raised his eyebrows and didn't even bother to show his disdain.
After hanging up the phone, he went to meetings and discussed cooperation. He didn't take this matter to heart at all.
Three days later, the contract was signed, and Huo Qinian handed over the remaining matters to the accompanying vice president and flew back to China first.
That night, before his "friends" called him out, he received a call from Teacher Tan: "Qinian, I know you are busy, but there should be time for you to come to your aunt's place for dinner, right?"
Huo Qinian couldn't help showing a toothache expression when he heard it, and agreed.
Teacher Tan has been taking good care of Huo Qinian since he was a child. When he was in high school, his mother was seriously ill, and Mr. Huo didn't pay much attention to him. If it weren't for Teacher Tan suppressing his temper and urging him to make progress, he might have really become a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, play, and fight.
That's why, in Huo Qinian's heart, Teacher Tan is almost like a mother. He could ignore Mr. Huo's words, but he really didn't want to be unruly with Teacher Tan.
Huo Qinian packed up early, and even didn't drive Zhang Yang's car. He just picked a low-key black business car and drove to Teacher Tan alone.
As soon as he entered the door, he looked up and down at Teacher Tan seriously and sighed: "Teacher Tan, you are younger again. Why are you going backwards as you grow older?"
Teacher Tan glared at him, but it took less than two seconds before he lost his composure.
She laughed and scolded, "Is this how you use the word? It's not serious!"
"How am I not serious? Look at the way I'm dressed. What do you call this? This is called serious."
Huo Qinian hugged Teacher Tan and went into the house. "I smell the scent of boiled pork slices. Is it made by Aunt He? It's so delicious. When are we going to eat?
"You don't know, I haven't had a good meal for three or four days..."
Huo Qinian kept talking. He talked about the gift he brought for Teacher Tan, the sudden parade abroad, the local food that was nothing new, and complained about how bad the Chinese food invited by the partner was, and how he almost couldn't hold back at the table.
He alone could describe the liveliness of ten people.
In fact, as long as Huo Qinian wanted to, he was a very pleasing person. When Teacher Tan faced him, even if he had a stern face at first, he would soon change his attitude. .
He has always been gifted in interpersonal communication. If he had put in a little more effort, the damage would have been even greater.
So for many things, it's not that he can't do them, but that he simply doesn't care.
Just look at his current attitude and you'll know: from the moment he entered the door until now, he hasn't said a word about Xiaobai.
Teacher Tan saw it and couldn't help sighing in her heart.
She didn't want to spoil the fun before the meal, so she chatted with Huo Qinian in a lively and noisy manner, making the dinner a great pleasure for the guests.
After Huo Qinian put down his chopsticks, she sighed quietly and said, "You are a likable child. I often think, it would be great if Xiaobai had your ability. It doesn't have to be much, just three points will do. "
Huo Qinian knew that he couldn't escape tonight.
He couldn't help but sigh: "Aunt, I've talked to you about so many things, how come you still remember this?"
Teacher Tan glared at him, "I'm not that old yet, am I?"
"Don't be angry. I think Teacher Su's ability is not only not bad, but very good. The old man at home and you like her so much... I can't compare with her ability." Huo Qinian smiled.
Teacher Tan heard the sharpness in his words and couldn't help saying, "Don't fool me. Xiaobai has such a good temper. If you didn't do it well, why would she leave you?"
Huo Qinian spread his hands, "Look, I didn't say anything nonsense, did I? Nothing has happened yet, and you all think it's my fault. Teacher Su is much better than me in this respect. "
"Why, do you still think you've been wronged?"
"Aunt, she was the one who proposed the divorce." Huo Qinian said, "My friends were all there at the time, and one of her friends got drunk and poured wine on one of my friends.
"I asked her to apologize on behalf of her friends, but she refused to do so. Instead, she said she wanted a divorce... So what if she wants a divorce? Why should I be afraid?
" "Please judge, is this my fault?"
Teacher Tan didn't quite believe it. "With so many people around, why did Xiaobai's friend come to your friend?"
Huo Qinian said, "Aunt, aren't you right? Victim theory?"
"Don't rush to put a accusation on me. "I ask you," Teacher Tan frowned, "could your friend be a girl?"
"It has little to do with whether it's a boy or a girl."
Teacher Tan guessed it at once: "The one from the Qu family?"
Huo Qinian paused.
Teacher Tan was really angry this time, "You can't have any thoughts about the girl from the Qu family, right? Qinian, we can't make such a mistake in principle..."
"I don't." Huo Qinian said, "Aunt, what happened between Qingyin and me is really not what you think."
"Then why did you get divorced?"
"These two things are not causally related. I think I did nothing wrong, but Teacher Su is always suspicious. Aunt, she's too much!"
"Then explain it clearly to Xiaobai. "
I explained it, but it was no use."
Teacher Tan was silent for a moment, and then said, "Is your explanation just lip service?"
Huo Qinian raised an eyebrow.
Teacher Tan said, "Qinian, just think of me as biased. You have so many friends, both men and women, but when it comes to this kind of thing, my first reaction is the child from the Qu family. Why do you think that is?"
She looked at Huo Qinian with a deep look in her eyes, "Ask yourself, do you really know what you are doing? Did you really not do anything to mislead Xiaobai?"
Huo Qinian did not answer.
Teacher Tan continued, "When you needed to get married before, the Qu family clearly had an opportunity, but you avoided it. I know your temper to some extent. You are not the type of person who can accept such a person who changes with the wind.
"After this incident, you really distanced yourself from the Qu family.
" "But why did you change so suddenly when it comes to that little girl from the Qu family?"
"Because I owe her a favor, and now I'm repaying her." Huo Qinian said, "Don't ask about this, I know what I'm doing.
"Besides, don't you know me? If I really have any feelings for her, why would I get a divorce now?
"This matter has nothing to do with her, it's just a matter between me and Teacher Su..." "
Does Xiaobai know about this?"
Huo Qinian didn't respond.
That means she doesn't know.
Teacher Tan was a little angry, "Qinian, you are husband and wife! If you want to repay the favor of the girl from the Qu family, why don't you explain it clearly to Xiaobai? She is not a willful person."
Huo Qinian also got angry, "Why should I explain to her? If we don't even have such trust, it only means that we are not suitable. "
When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something and said meaningfully, "We were not suitable in the first place. It's just right, don't add unnecessary sunk costs to each other."
Teacher Tan was surprised, "What do you mean by 'not suitable in the first place'?"
Huo Qinian was silent for a moment, "She and I are different people."
Teacher Tan asked back, "What kind of person do you think she is?"
Huo Qinian said frankly, "I don't know, but she is definitely different from me. I know that the divorce is a bit sudden, but then I thought about it and this may not be a bad time.
"We are different, and sooner or later we will gradually drift apart. In this case, it's better to hurry up than later."
Teacher Tan was silent for a long time and sighed quietly.
She stopped talking about divorce and said tiredly, "Qinian, I hope you have really thought it through. Don't be so arrogant. I'm afraid you will regret it in the future."
The smile on Huo Qinian's face was only superficial. "Regret? Impossible! Besides, I'm not afraid myself, so why are you worried?"
That night, Huo Qinian went to sleep with anger.
No matter how open-minded he was, he was criticized twice in a row, and he was the one being blamed every time. It was inevitable that he felt unhappy.
What kind of magic potion did Su Yunbai feed them?
Especially... why did he always say that he would regret it?
What did he have to regret?
Huo Qinian held his breath, and this breath reached a new peak when he went to work the next day.
——The person in charge of personnel handed him a report on the job changes of senior management personnel in each branch. Su Yunbai's name appeared on the list of resignation intentions, and he was the first one.
