Huo Qinian has always had many faces. Lazy, willful, romantic, mean... He can easily play these roles. But in serious business occasions, his demeanor is often much more restrained, appearing calm and wise, which is in line with the image of a group president.
But no matter how calm and restrained he is, he also has a "carnivorous nature". In other words, just looking at him, everyone knows that this is definitely not a character that is easy to fool.
But this time, Huo Qinian on the TV screen is a little different. His "aggression" seems to be well hidden. It's like a sharp blade hidden in its sheath, with its edge restrained. The whole person suddenly becomes calm and has a real sense of heaviness.
Hearing what the female host said, he smiled and replied: "Thank you for your concern, but as for choosing a partner... Honestly, I have never thought about it. I should say that before I considered this issue, I already had someone in my heart who I wanted to spend my life with. So this question doesn't mean much to me."
When he said this, his eyes seemed to be shining, and the whole person looked very gentle.
The female host was stunned. Soon, her expression became excited, as if she saw the bright traffic.
She may not realize it herself, but her voice already contained an exaggerated smile: "It seems that Mr. Huo already has someone in his heart, which is unfortunate news for the majority of female compatriots.
"I wonder if Mr. Huo would be convenient to tell us about your current emotional state? "
This question..." Huo Qinian was rarely silent for a moment, then he said: "I have done a lot of wrong things before and hurt her heart. So right now, I am still in the stage of unilaterally seeking reconciliation."
The female host seemed a little surprised.
There was a hint of loss in Huo Qinian's expression, "Although I am reluctant to admit this, there are indeed some things I am not very good at. For example, I always mess up things related to her again and again, making her angry...
"In terms of feelings, I am indeed very bad, it can be said that I have failed miserably..."
Huo Qinian is not a person who is used to showing weakness, so this "helpless" look only lasted for a moment and quickly disappeared.
He began to control the situation again, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "If the relationship with girlfriend or wife is also included in the considerations when your station invites guests, I estimate that with my performance, you will definitely not invite me today."
The female host laughed exaggeratedly, but still did not believe it: "As far as I know, there are many young female viewers on the Internet who jokingly call you the kind of 'domineering president' that often appears in novels... With President Huo's strength, who can bear to reject you?"
"Domineering president?" Huo Qinian laughed, "I may be a little disappointed, but in my opinion, this may be an insult. Whether in business or in love, the 'domineering president' will not go far.
"Business cooperation emphasizes harmony and wealth, as for feelings..." Huo Qinian said self-deprecatingly, "My personal experience tells me that being overbearing will only push your loved one further and further away."
At this point, he showed a thoughtful look, "It seems that netizens have sharp eyes and have not wronged me.
"So what I have to do next is to 'de-overbear'?"
The female host didn't even know whether he was joking or serious for a moment, and could only say dryly: "It seems that your loved one is a person with a strong personality."
She said, "So, Mr. Huo, do you want to take this opportunity to say something to your loved one?"
Huo Qinian's eyes moved slightly, as if he was really tempted.
But he finally laughed and shook his head, "Forget it, she won't like it. She is not a high-profile person, I have already been ostentatious enough today..."
Huo Qinian on the TV screen had a helpless look on his face, but the light in his eyes was very soft.
This sudden soft light was very moving and not hypocritical. No matter who saw it, no one would doubt his sincerity towards the "dream girl" he mentioned.
A person who has always been domineering and arrogant suddenly showed such a side, which really gave people a feeling of "a tiger sniffing a rose". Moreover, he was not afraid to "expose his shortcomings" in public, just to tell the world that he has someone in his heart.
Isn't this still a domineering president? Isn't this the romance of a domineering president?
The nanny, who was deeply poisoned by the novels of domineering presidents, covered her chest with her hands and turned her head quietly several times, trying to see Su Yunbai's expression.
Su Yunbai lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze only focused on the dishes in front of her, as if she was impressed by how tempting the food tonight was.
She naturally heard what Huo Qinian said.
She never turned her head to look at the TV screen, she only heard the sound, so at first, she thought it was another trick played by Huo Qinian.
If she didn't know Teacher Tan very well, she would even think that tonight was a series of traps.
How could it be such a coincidence, right? Teacher Tan had just sold the food for him, and he could continue to sell it in front of her the next moment. If everything was attributed to coincidence, his luck was a little too good.
But Huo Qinian's next words dispelled Su Yunbai's doubts.
If this was really a setup, it would be enough for Huo Qinian to "confess passionately" on TV, and there was no need to "expose his shortcomings", because the latter had a somewhat repetitive effect with what Teacher Tan said before. Mr.
Huo was meticulous, and the setup he arranged was not so crude.
Besides, with his personality, he might not be willing to let Su Yunbai know about his evil past.
Without the suspicion of setting up a setup, Su Yunbai could look at what Huo Qinian said with a more rational eye.
To be honest, she was a little surprised.
In Su Yunbai's impression, this was the first time that Huo Qinian admitted that he had "shortcomings" in public.
He is the president of a group. Regardless of how he behaves in private, his every word and action in public represents the image of the group, so he is always very careful and never acts recklessly. From this perspective, President Huo is indeed a very qualified president.
But this time, Huo Qinian, who has always been "invincible", suddenly put aside his perfect face and seemed down-to-earth.
It is no wonder that the female host was so excited, after all, this is real traffic.
Su Yunbai was indeed touched, especially after listening to what Teacher Tan said.
Although he is reluctant to admit it, people look at people with inherent impressions. In Su Yunbai's view now, Huo Qinian is the image of an arrogant "President Huo".
He was always at ease in front of her, and even his gesture of redemption was condescending like Huo Qinian.
But Teacher Tan's words, to some extent, broke the inherent impression that Huo Qinian had left on Su Yunbai. So when he recalled what Huo Qinian had done, it seemed that he was a little stretched in every aspect.
Or maybe this is not a fixed impression, but Huo Qinian himself behaves so annoyingly. But with the previous situation, it seems that his "high and mighty" has become at least a reasonable thing.
But that's all.
Su Yunbai knows the nanny's observation of words and expressions, and can also see that Teacher Tan is hesitant to speak... She knows what they mean, and she is willing to believe that Huo Qinian does not want to win her back out of ridiculous unwillingness, but really has her in his heart.
She can even believe that maybe their beginning was not all about taking advantage, but a bit of sincerity.
But so what? At least at this moment, she can't deceive her own heart, let alone be moved by self-deception.
The missing piece of the puzzle is finally completed. She finally realized that all her efforts over the years were used to fill the hole in Huo Qinian's heart.
She could accept this explanation. It was good, at least in this relationship, she was not so wicked as to be purely sentimental.
But let's put it one thing at a time. Nothing in the world is inexhaustible, let alone feelings?
The love she could entrust was only so much. She gave it away, and there would be nothing left for herself.
She had finally climbed out of the hole in Huo Qinian's heart, why did she fall into the pit again?
To put it more bluntly and cold-bloodedly, as human beings, everyone has different personal circumstances and everyone has to be responsible for their own lives. Why should she be so unlucky and pay for Huo Qinian's past?
He had a miserable childhood, and her father and mother didn't love her! Why doesn't he need to warm her heart?
That doesn't make sense.
She can let go of the past, and part ways with him from now on, both living happily.
This is already the best ending.
If he is still not used to it for a while, then, she can leave early.
Although Su Yunbai has made up her mind to go abroad, she can't just leave like that.
First of all, the most important thing is the project she has on hand. This project will last for two years, and now she wants to complete the project within one year. This has compressed the time by half, so you can imagine how busy she is.
Generally speaking, projects only apply for extensions, and it is rare for them to be completed early. Therefore, Su Yunbai still has a lot of procedures to go through.
Besides, should the graduate students on hand be arranged to graduate early or transfer to another group? The former requires students to work day and night to produce results in advance, while the latter requires Su Yunbai to contact reliable teachers who have vacancies on hand, and at the same time, she has to report to the school...
All these things are a lot of worries.
For these two things, Su Yunbai has been running to the 18th floor these days - this is the floor where the offices of the leaders of the school are located.
Her family knows her own affairs, and everything she does is to prepare for leaving, but others don’t know, and think that Su Yunbai is like them, frequently reporting work to the leaders.
This is clearly a sign of participating in the election for professor!
Su Yunbai couldn’t tell her "competitors" in advance that she was leaving, and there was no reason for it. Besides, in the workplace, she didn't want to reveal her true colors until the last moment, so she didn't take the initiative to explain.
The people with vested interests couldn't help but tense up.
But Su Yunbai didn't expect that in this silent tug-of-war, the first person to jump out was not the people with vested interests, but Associate Professor Wu Zhien.
Su Yunbai stood outside the office door of Vice Dean Ye, ready to knock on the door, and first heard Wu Zhien's righteous voice: "Dean, it's not that I want to ruin Teacher Su's reputation behind her back, but as far as I know, Mr. Huo of the Huo Group has been pursuing Teacher Su.
"You also know that the Huo Group is the big boss behind Leading Technology. How much of the credit do you think is due to the software developed by Teacher Su? "
Su Yunbai: ...
Okay, Associate Professor Wu is really a "person of temperament", he is so straightforward when he is a villain, not at all subtle.
At this level, Su Yunbai really can't be very vigilant.
She reached out her hand and knocked on the door of the office, attracting the attention of the two leaders inside the door, including Wu Zhien, and then said: "Dean Ye, Secretary Zhang, are you looking for me?"
Before she finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor.
Su Yunbai almost suspected that she had heard it wrong, and turned around subconsciously.
On the other side of the corridor, the person who was striding towards him, who else could it be but Huo Qinian?
