The sarcasm in Su Yunbai's words was too obvious.
Huo Qinian's face tensed for a moment.
This time he was really sure that it was not his illusion. Su Yunbai didn't want to talk to him properly today.
It should be said that she didn't want to talk to him properly, but... but she no longer cared about other things. For example, his mood. Thinking of
this, the fire in Huo Qinian's heart suddenly dissipated, and an inexplicable grievance rose in his heart.
He looked at the red light that was turning on in front of the road, and tried to suppress his strange emotions. He said seriously: "Since I am wrong, please tell me."
Su Yunbai heard this, turned her head and looked at him, her expression was very serious.
After a long while, she suddenly smiled.
In Huo Qinian's impression, Su Yunbai's smile is often very subtle. Just like the impression she gives people, she always feels like she is suppressing something, without any sharp edge, only softness and roundaboutness.
But this time, her smile was bigger. Her eyebrows were naturally curved, and her eyelashes were pressed down, making her face dark. She looked like a lotus with dew on it, with a shimmering and refreshing feeling.
Huo Qinian was suddenly stunned, and his heart moved.
Is this... is this meant to encourage?
Su Yunbai really found it funny.
She didn't expect that the first time she heard the three words "I was wrong" from Huo Qinian's mouth was at this time.
What's the mood? There was no grievance, emotion, or sweetness after suffering as she thought... All these emotions that she once thought she might have, in fact, were not there.
Her real mood at this moment was like watching a shower of rain outside the window, watching the fallen leaves drifting naturally under the treetops, watching the strangers hurriedly passing by the street corner...
She knew they were there, but she also knew very clearly that these were just some details of life that had little to do with her.
It was over once it had happened, and it didn't have such a great, earth-shattering meaning.
No, it actually still had meaning.
Such emotions were really long gone for her.
She always habitually invested too much energy in things related to Huo Qinian, and gave extraordinary meaning to some things that were originally ordinary.
So the mediocre people disturbed themselves, and they trapped themselves.
It shouldn't be like this.
Many things don't have much meaning.
In a busy and chaotic life, isn't it a very poetic thing to be able to watch a burst of rain, a falling leaf, and a stranger on the street corner?
Su Yunbai thought of this, and suddenly felt that she was wasting her time in the car, arguing with Huo Qinian.
The green light at the intersection came on.
Su Yunbai got up, passed the intersection, and suddenly pulled to the side of the road and stopped the car.
She turned to look at Huo Qinian: "Mr. Huo, I'll take you here."
No matter how quick-thinking Huo Qinian was, he was caught off guard by this development.
What does it mean?
Is she rushing him to get out of the car?
Huo Qinian frowned: "I don't understand what you mean."
Is this woman too fickle? Didn't we have a good chat just now?
Su Yunbai smiled faintly: "Mr. Huo, I am the outgoing director of the R&D department, and I have always been responsible for R&D. If you have any questions about the management and operation of Linghang Technology, you should not ask me.
"If you want to know something, just check it yourself. I think this is really a trivial matter for Mr. Huo. After all, many people are willing to give Mr. Huo face.
"I can't help, so I won't waste Mr. Huo's time."
Huo Qinian understood and laughed: "Are you chasing me away?"
Su Yunbai said: "Mr. Huo, you are going to Qingxi Club, which is not the same road as me." She paused, and then said, "From the beginning, we were not on the same road."
The car door was opened and then slammed shut.
The car drove away.
Huo Qinian was so angry that his face turned blue.
He had never been treated so
badly before! Did she really think he was begging her? !
It was a joke! Without her, Su Yunbai, could Linghang Technology not be able to move forward?
Teacher Tan was still a little confused when she heard the nanny's words: "Who did you say came? Qinian?"
The nanny nodded and lowered her voice and said: "You should go and see him. He doesn't look very happy."
Teacher Tan hurriedly got up and walked out.
In the living room, Huo Qinian was sitting on the sofa with a big horse and a golden sword, holding a bottle of ice water and pouring it into his mouth.
He looked a little wolfish. Sweat was pouring from his forehead, and a large area of his gray shirt was wet, even the collar was wet with sweat.
When Teacher Tan arrived, Huo Qinian had already drunk enough ice water. He tightened the bottle cap and put the cool bottle on his forehead.
Teacher Tan immediately stopped him: "I've told you so many times, don't be greedy after sweating. You're so old, why are you still the same as before?"
Huo Qinian didn't resist and let her take the water from his hand, but his expression was not very good.
Teacher Tan sat in front of him, frowning slightly: "Where are you from? Why are you sweating so much? Where's your driver?"
The more she asked, the darker Huo Qinian's face became.
Could he tell Teacher Tan that he was abandoned by Su Yunbai halfway and didn't want to call the driver, so he walked to Teacher Tan by himself?
He still has some shame!
Huo Qinian said as if nothing had happened: "I just happened to be nearby, and thought that the sun had set, so I took a stroll. It just happened to be not far from where you are.
" "Who would have thought that walking would be quite time-consuming and laborious."
Teacher Tan was an experienced man, how could he not see that Huo Qinian was trying to whitewash the situation?
But... just happened to be nearby?
This was A Garden, how could he be so close to A Garden?
Could it be that this kid went to look for Xiaobai and got mad at him?
Teacher Tan was not anxious at all when she thought of this.
She was not anxious, but she could not help being curious.
She was the one who looked after the grown-up child, and she knew what was going on. Huo Qinian was not a good-tempered person. He looked like he was obviously upset but he was still suppressing himself...
It was very abnormal.
Teacher Tan asked, "You haven't eaten yet? What do you want to eat? I'll ask someone to make it for you."
Huo Qinian said uninterested, "Don't bother. It's too hot. I don't have much appetite."
Teacher Tan, "How about trying cold noodles? I'm old and it's not easy for me to eat too much cold food. I think Xiaobai likes it very much."
Upon hearing this, Huo Qinian couldn't help but change his mind and said, "Cold noodles? Isn't this a food from the Northeast?"
Teacher Tan raised his eyebrows slightly, "In this day and age, food is just a regional specialty and is no longer limited to a region. Although Xiaobai is not from the Northeast, he just happens to have the right temper. Why can't he like to eat it?
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you want to do it or not?"
Huo Qinian said reluctantly, "Then let's try it. So that you don't have to nag me every day for not eating..."
Teacher Tan: "Then you should cool down first, and I'll let someone do it for you when the heat is gone. Otherwise, you will get sick from the alternating hot and cold."
Huo Qinian responded indifferently.
Teacher Tan looked at his face and tentatively said: "Xiaobai reported to the hospital that she wanted to resign from Linghang Technology. By the way, she called you with her resignation report, right?"
The cloud on Huo Qinian's face suddenly became heavy.
Teacher Tan had already figured out his temper and was not afraid at all. He even added fuel to the fire: "Why did I vaguely hear that you guys were very optimistic about her? How come she was leaving and you didn't even try to keep her?"
Huo Qinian endured and endured, but couldn't help it: "The temple is small and can't accommodate such a big Buddha. "
Teacher Tan was so surprised that she didn't laugh out loud.
Look at this resentful face.
She hasn't seen such a bad temper for many years, and she really missed it for a moment.
Teacher Tan didn't dare to show a look of watching a good show, just a look of surprise: "You mean... Xiaobai wants to change jobs? I haven't heard her mention it."
Huo Qinian said: "...probably not."
Teacher Tan: "So she just wants to leave? If she wants to leave, just leave. There is a lot of talent flow in your big group every year, right? You are not a person without that kind of mind, why do you look so unhappy?
"Could it be that Xiao Bai started to get cocky after she achieved some success?"
Teacher Tan looked angry. "How can this be possible? She was brought up by the new class! Isn't this child the most grateful? How can she be so proud after achieving some success? Don't worry, I'll tell her off!"
As she said this, she hurriedly took out her cell phone to make a call.
Huo Qinian quickly stopped her and said, "Auntie, I can handle this myself."
Teacher Tan said with a stern face, "You are considering my face and can't tell her off, right? Auntie won't make it difficult for you. Don't worry, I will definitely teach my own students a lesson regardless of their talent. "
If Huo Qinian didn't know that Teacher Tan was deliberately playing him, he wouldn't have to be Mr. Huo.
He looked helpless: "Aunt!"
Teacher Tan's expression changed: "Tell me? What's going on?"
Huo Qinian avoided the question.
Teacher Tan said faintly: "If it's something else, I really don't want to care. But Qinian, Xiaobai is my student! If it's ancient times, a teacher is a father for life!
"She can't live with you now, and her grandmother passed away. It's better for her to have no parents... You say in this situation, she calls me teacher, and I treat her as half an elder, isn't it too much?
"Tell me honestly, did you bully her again?"
Huo Qinian's temper flared up all of a sudden: "What do you mean by 'I bullied her again'? How could I bully her?"
He couldn't help but recount what he had talked about with Su Yunbai in the car today, his voice filled with anger: "I asked her in a nice way why she had to leave Linghang Technology, and was willing to give her a promotion and a pay raise, but what was her attitude? She said nothing when I asked her something, is this a cooperative attitude?!"
Teacher Tan's expression also became a little serious.
She looked at Huo Qinian for a long while, and said: "Let's not talk about anything else. Ask yourself first, are you angry now because Xiaobai has a bad attitude, or just because she is Xiaobai?"
Huo Qinian frowned.
What does this mean? Is he saying that he treats people differently from things?
For a group president, this accusation is a bit serious.
Teacher Tan waved his hands: "Don't deny it so quickly. Let me ask you, how many people have you met in recent years who are really arrogant? Do you get so angry every time you meet someone and find that they treat you badly? I mean the kind of anger that goes to your heart."
Huo Qinian was stunned by the question.
In fact, if Teacher Tan hadn't asked him, he would never have thought about this question.
As a group president, Huo Qinian has to deal with too many people every day. Those who are arrogant, those who take advantage of their seniority, those who are two-faced, those who change with the wind...
If you really talk about it, the way these people behave, especially the messy things they have done, are often infuriating.
So will he be very angry?
Yes, he would even make everyone in the group tremble with fear because of his anger, and make them behave themselves.
But at the same time, he knew very well in his heart that he was not just angry. He used his temper more as a means of intimidation, and he didn't really take it to heart.
He was furious in the company one foot, and the next he could gather a group of bad friends to get drunk and dream. Work is work, life is life, he has always separated them.
His attitude towards these people is like a cat playing with a mouse, a gentleman using things, making alliances, dividing and conquering...
He uses means and strategies on them. So some things, no matter how annoying they are, he never really takes them to heart.
But for Su Yunbai...
Teacher Tan sighed softly: "Qinian, do you still remember how you overpowered Vice President Zhang back then?"
Huo Qinian pursed his lips.
Of course he remembered.
In this day and age, it is no longer possible to follow the old saying that the son inherits the father's business. Mr. Huo handed over the affairs
of the group to Huo Qinian, but he may not be able to secure the position of president. It depends on Huo Qinian's own ability. At Huo Qinian's age, he is still too young to be the president of a group. Being young gives people a feeling that he is unreliable.
Vice President Zhang is a veteran of the group and the backbone of the group. If the group is to be handed over to professional managers, Vice President Zhang will be the best candidate.
People with ability always have a bad temper. Vice President Zhang was dissatisfied with Huo Qinian at the beginning. He even disdained to hide his dissatisfaction and dared to openly embarrass Huo Qinian at the company meeting and blocked him on large and small documents and reports, just to make him give up...
What was the result? Today's Vice President Zhang is still Vice President Zhang, but he is Huo Qinian's right-hand man.
Huo Qinian has the ability and the heart.
Teacher Tan said: "Put it in your mind. If Vice President Zhang is replaced by Xiaobai..."
Huo Qinian wanted to explain. He wanted to say that things cannot be discussed so simply, and that Su Yunbai is not such a person who will embarrass others...
He wanted to say many reasons why this "if" is not true, but at this moment, he couldn't help but put it in his mind.
If Su Yunbai is the attitude that Vice President Zhang once had...
Huo Qinian's face was not right just thinking about it.
Teacher Tan sighed: "Qian Nian, have you never thought about this? Why are you always so harsh on Xiao Bai for the same thing? What did Xiao Bai do to you that you have to bully her like this?"
