The final investigation results unanimously pointed to Huang Peilan.
When others learned that Huang Peilan had indeed spread the rumors, those who had previously spoken up for her felt like slapping themselves to death.
How could I be so blind as to be deceived by such a vicious person?
This incident caused a huge uproar, and Huang Peilan's own abilities simply couldn't keep up with the lab's progress.
Finally, Huo Minxue discussed it with Wu Xingchao and decided to fire her.
Huo Minxue didn't touch the others who spoke up for Huang Peilan; they were just being misled. Besides, firing too many people at once would affect the progress of the experiment.
When they learned that only Huang Peilan had been fired, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but then they began to openly and secretly inquire about Huo Minxue's family background.
Eventually, someone traced it back to Su Miaomiao and learned that Miaosheng Shopping Mall and Miaosheng Real Estate were both owned by the Huo family. As a result, the female colleagues at her workplace were even more enthusiastic about Huo Minxue than they had been about Huang Peilan.
This seriously hindered Huo Minxue's life at work.
Wu Xingchao watched him with amusement as he hid in Wu Xingchao's office for lunch countless times.
"See? I told you before, you should settle your personal life sooner rather than later. If you get married, the single women at work won't be as enthusiastic towards you."
“They’re not interested in me as a person,” Huo Minxue said, continuing to eat.
"Look at what you're saying. If we didn't value you as a person, what else could we value?"
"They didn't know Miaomiao was my sister, otherwise they wouldn't have been so enthusiastic towards me."
"So what? Everyone hopes to find a good husband and have a better life in the future. You have to understand." Wu Xingchao has lived to this age and has seen through these things.
"I don't think it should be like this," Huo Minxue said, continuing to eat.
"Then what do you think it should be like? If you continue like this, you'll end up alone for the rest of your life."
"Being alone isn't so bad."
"Nonsense! I've made an appointment for you at the Beijing Grand Hotel tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. It's the daughter of an old classmate of mine. I've met her before; she's beautiful and generous, and she even studied abroad. Go and meet her."
Upon hearing this, Huo Minxue immediately looked up and was about to speak when Wu Xingchao spoke first.
“If you don’t go, I won’t allow you to come here for lunch anymore.”
Huo Minxue: "..."
"Think carefully whether you want to face one girl or countless girls in your workplace," Wu Xingchao said, his voice rising slightly at the end.
Senior Huo Min sighed.
"I see."
"That's more like it. Dress up nicely tomorrow; the girl is quite attractive."
"oh."
"Oh what? I'm sending you on a blind date, not to the battlefield."
It's better to stay on the battlefield.
Huo Minxue muttered to himself.
...
the next day.
Huo Minxue arrived at the restaurant half an hour early.
Because of his upbringing, even if he didn't want to attend this blind date, he wouldn't do anything to keep the woman waiting.
Huo Minxue wore a black trench coat today, with a white shirt underneath, black trousers, and thin-soled leather shoes.
