Upon hearing Huo Minxue's words, Wu Xingchao's face showed a hint of helplessness.
"Minxue, besides your work, you should also pay more attention to what's happening outside of work."
"What's going on outside? Has any major news happened recently?" Huo Minxue frowned.
If he can make it home from get off work every day, he will watch the news broadcast.
However, his thoughts have been a bit scattered lately, and he hasn't looked at it for several days.
“It’s not major news, it’s your own business.” Wu Xingchao didn’t beat around the bush with Huo Minxue anymore.
Otherwise, given his temperament, he probably would never have figured it out.
"My business? What happened to me?" Huo Minxue was even more puzzled.
"Are you aware that there are rumors circulating about you at work?"
"What rumor?"
"It means you have an immoral private life and are having affairs with other women."
"What?!" A look of shock crossed Huo Minxue's face.
“You are a student I mentored, and I know your personality better than anyone. Tell me honestly, do you have a boyfriend?” Wu Xingchao asked.
"No." Huo Minxue shook his head.
"Was it because you were getting close to a female colleague? Or was it because a colleague at work saw you?" Wu Xingchao asked.
"I..." Huo Minxue was about to speak when he suddenly remembered something and stopped mid-sentence.
"Did you guess it?" Wu Xingchao understood immediately upon seeing his reaction.
"I guess so." Huo Minxue nodded.
“I’ve been attending a seminar in another province recently. I just got back to my office this morning and received an anonymous whistleblower letter, which is why I’m here to find out what’s going on.”
"Teacher, I haven't been having any illicit relationships with men or women," Huo Minxue said seriously.
"Of course I believe you. I've already given instructions not to spread rumors anymore. Even though the policies have been relaxed, spreading such rumors is still bad for your reputation. Have you had any conflicts with your colleagues at work recently?"
Wu Xingchao highly values Huo Minxue. Although he has never said it publicly, he will definitely pass his position to Huo Minxue when he retires.
Therefore, he did not want any gossip to ruin his valued successor.
"Teacher, I will find out more about this. Thank you for your concern." Huo Minxue said apologetically.
"Why are you being so polite with me? But to be honest, you really need to take care of your personal life. I met quite a few promising young women at the conference I attended recently, and I even got their contact information. If you have time, I can help you make some arrangements," Wu Xingchao said.
"No need, teacher," Huo Minxue politely declined.
"You can't refuse this time. The reason these rumors are circulating at work is because you haven't settled your personal life. Make time this Saturday and go meet the girl. You're in the same industry, so even if you can't become family, it'll be easier to communicate in the future if you become friends."
"I..." Huo Minxue wanted to say something, but Wu Xingchao interrupted him.
"Alright, go out first, I still have a lot of work to do." Wu Xingchao said, picking up the documents beside him.
Huo Minxue could tell from his expression that he wouldn't change his mind.
He simply sighed softly, turned around, and left.
