Chapter 8: Duplicity



"Who's calling?"

Huo Siyan spoke, and everyone in the conference room focused their attention on Jiang Chen.

"It's Secretary Lu's call." Jiang Chen was still secretly looking at Huo Siyan's expression. He saw that their President Huo frowned, glanced at the mobile phone on the table, and frowned even deeper.

"I'm dead?"

Jiang Chen has been Huo Siyan's special assistant for many years. Judging from their President Huo's reaction just now, he was obviously waiting for Secretary Lu's call, but he didn't get it.

So, he didn't dare to hang up the phone easily.

Everyone knew something about Secretary Lu and their President Huo over the years. It was simply that Secretary Lu liked their President Huo, but their President Huo remained unmoved.

Now that Secretary Lu is not here, their President Huo seems to be in a slightly off mood.

"Hang it up for me to see."

Huo Siyan's voice became even colder. He hadn't even answered Lu Ziyao's call, and you answered it and you want to hang up?

Jiang Chen was very tired. This was a meeting, so how could he just answer the phone? Now if he didn't answer the phone, it would become his problem.

Mr. Huo, your double standards are quite obvious!

"Then I'll go out..." Before Jiang Chen finished speaking, Huo Siyan glared at him and immediately changed the subject: "I'll answer it right away."

Huo Siyan then withdrew his gaze, turned his face away, and pretended not to care about the call.

Everyone in the conference room is a smart person. Everyone can see that President Huo is saying one thing and thinking another, but no one dares to show it.

Secretary Lu is quite amazing!

"Secretary Lu." Jiang Chen answered the phone while still secretly observing the expression of their CEO Huo.

"Why didn't you come to work today? You had a meeting this morning...ah? Resigning?" Jiang Chen briefly explained the reason why he called Lu Ziyao in the morning. Before he finished speaking, he heard Lu Ziyao say even faster that she had resigned?

Jiang Chen was a little surprised, and Huo Siyan also turned his head suddenly to look at Jiang Chen. Resign?

It seems that their President Huo doesn't seem to know that Secretary Lu is going to resign. Jiang Chen is also a smart man. Of course, he knows that the most important thing to do now is to stabilize Lu Ziyao first.

It's obvious that there's some conflict between the two.

One of them was stubborn and refused to speak, while the other resigned out of anger. If they were not given a chance to talk face to face, they might really break up.

As Mr. Huo's close assistant, Jiang Chensheng knew how heavy the burden on his shoulders was, but he still stepped forward resolutely.

"Secretary Lu, I haven't received any news about your resignation yet. Even if you want to resign, you have to come and hand over your work in person."

Jiang Chen said this righteously, as if he had no selfish intentions at all.

"Uh." Lu Ziyao said something on the other end of the phone, which made Jiang Chen look at Huo Siyan, not knowing what to say.

Before Jiang Chen could say anything, the call was hung up.

Huo Siyan looked at Jiang Chen. He clearly wanted to know what Lu Ziyao had said just now, but he just didn't ask.

"Secretary Lu said she didn't have any work to hand over. If she had to come over to handle the paperwork, she said she would wait for a certain day..."

Jiang Chen was reluctant to say the following words directly in front of Huo Siyan, but he could tell that Secretary Lu was serious.

"What did she say?" Huo Siyan's face darkened. He had a hunch that what Jiang Chen hadn't finished saying was related to him, and it wasn't something good, otherwise he wouldn't have been so hesitant.
