Lu Ziyao and Lu Xiaomo subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice. It was a pot-bellied CEO of a company whom they were not very familiar with.
Although they were not very familiar with each other, Lu Ziyao had seen him before. After all, she had gone out to discuss business with Huo Siyan and had gotten to know quite a few people.
"Mr. Chen."
Lu Xiaomo greeted everyone in a fairly calm tone. In fact, he didn't like such social engagements and just wanted to show up occasionally.
Huo Siyan had never noticed before, but in fact, Lu Xiaomo had interacted with Lu Ziyao at the cocktail party before, but it was not as intimate as it is now. Instead, it was a bit more serious, with the feeling of just polite talk.
What does that feel like?
How do I say this?
Lu Ziyao glanced at the venue and saw a familiar figure. Then, she would have the opportunity to see what serious and formal speeches were.
"What's the meaning of everyone coming to this corner instead of chatting in a bright place?"
Lu Xiaomo couldn't help but make a joke, he felt it was very unscientific!
"It's because Mr. Lu is hiding here with a beautiful woman by his side. We are just envious and come over to take a look."
Mr. Chen also replied with a smile, his eyes fixed on Lu Ziyao: "Isn't this Secretary Lu?"
"Hello, Mr. Chen."
Lu Ziyao maintained a professional smile and nodded to him as a greeting.
"Secretary Lu isn't Mr. Huo's secretary, so why does she seem so close to Mr. Lu? Could it be that Secretary Lu is Mr. Lu's girlfriend?"
Mr. Chen seemed to be enjoying the fun and continued to tease, "Then isn't Mr. Huo worried that Secretary Lu will leak company secrets?"
"Beautiful women are always restless. I heard that she was chasing after Mr. Huo before, and now she's even reaching out to Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu, you better be careful!"
"Who knows, maybe Secretary Lu is a spy that President Huo has planted next to you!"
After Mr. Chen finished speaking, the scene was very awkward for a while. No one present spoke, but it was obvious that Lu Ziyao and Lu Xiaomo's faces suddenly turned cold.
Mr. Chen couldn't figure out the situation between the two people now. He could only laugh dryly twice: "Hahaha, just a joke, don't take it too seriously!"
He also glanced at the few people following him, and those people reacted slowly and laughed a few times.
"Is it funny?"
Lu Ziyao asked coldly, "Mr. Chen was just joking, but the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Maybe someone will take it seriously. Maybe tomorrow there will be rumors that I leaked company secrets. What should I do then?"
"It's just a joke, who dares to spread it outside?" Mr. Chen's face was not very good when he was coldly retorted by Lu Ziyao, but there were many people here, so he was the first to speak out. Especially since Lu Ziyao and Lu Xiaomo seemed to have a good relationship, and she was Mr. Huo's secretary, so he had to give her some face.
Don't fall into his hands in the future, because then he will definitely not be polite to her.
"Fortunately, I have already resigned, otherwise I really can't explain it clearly."
Lu Ziyao couldn't help but snort coldly. What annoyed her most was this kind of hypocritical person. He seemed to be joking, but his eyes had already betrayed him. It was not obvious what he meant by bringing a group of people here.
Lu Ziyao felt that it was particularly similar. Who was he trying to offend? Lu Xiaomo or Huo Siyan?
Or maybe it was her?
Of course, she didn’t think she was that important, so it must be between Lu Xiaomo and Huo Siyan.
He wanted to sacrifice her to sow discord between them, but his method wasn't very clever.
"I have a good relationship with any rival company, so I don't need to worry too much about company secrets being leaked." Lu Ziyao looked at Mr. Chen with amusement. There was not only boasting at the cocktail party, but also a lot of hypocritical tricks.
"Mr. Chen, this is boring. Why bully a little girl?" Lu Xiaomo wanted to speak just now, but Lu Ziyao spoke faster. Lu Xiaomo could only wait until Lu Ziyao finished speaking before speaking.
His eyes were unfriendly but his tone was very sullen. It could be said that Lu Xiaomo was using practical actions to prove that he was very unhappy.
"Mr. Chen, are you saying that I like to play tricks in business, and that I like to do these low-brow things?"
Regardless of whether he meant this or not, Lu Xiaomo assumed that he meant this: "Since Mr. Chen has a lot of opinions about my character, then I think we should just leave our cooperation at this level, so that Mr. Chen won't be worried about me and lose sleep every day after we cooperate."
"Mr. Lu, it's just a joke, there's no need to bring it up into cooperation!"
Mr. Chen's expression changed slightly, and he said with a smile, "I'm just kindly reminding Mr. Lu. After all, Secretary Lu was so in love with Mr. Huo before, and now she's being so attentive to you, Mr. Lu. It's inevitable that people will doubt her intentions."
"What you said just now was not just a kind reminder to me, but also regarded me as a villain. Since Mr. Chen thinks so, I have nothing to say."
Lu Xiaomo also didn't like Mr. Chen's sarcastic tone. What did he mean? Did he think others were fools and couldn't hear it?
"Mr. Lu, don't confuse good with bad. I..." Mr. Chen wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lu Xiaomo: "Do you want to talk to Mr. Huo directly?"
"What are you talking about?"
Huo Siyan came over with Lu Heze in his arms, and just happened to hear these incoherent words.
Just now he saw several people heading towards Lu Ziyao and surrounding her. Huo Siyan apologized to the people he was talking to and said he had something to do and would come over later to talk.
Qin Guan was still there helping him deal with the situation. When he came over, he heard Lu Xiaomo's words and could clearly feel that Lu Ziyao was in a bad mood and seemed quite unhappy.
"How come Liao Zizi leaked your company's secrets to me?"
When Lu Xiaomo talked about this, his tone was full of sarcasm: "We're still talking about how you let Zizi go undercover by my side and steal my company's secrets."
When he heard the first sentence Lu Xiaomo said, Lu Xiaomo frowned. When he heard the rest, his brows frowned even deeper, and he felt a sense of confusion.
What kind of nonsense is this?
"Mr. Huo, what do you think?"
After Huo Siyan came over, Mr. Chen didn't dare to speak. After listening to Lu Xiaomo repeating it and seeing Mr. Huo's indifferent face and frowning brows, he couldn't help but feel a chill on his back and became panicked.
He was just talking about a small secretary, and it's not like he would just give up on a cooperation worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Lu Xiaomo is still too young. He doesn't consider the consequences of what he says or does. He only knows how to show off and act like a hero in front of women. Later, he realized how wrong his decision was.
Mr. Huo is different. He would never be like that.
