Chapter 347: Deep into the Wood
"Mr. Huo, are you kidding?"
Xiao Tuo knew everything about what his daughter had encountered in Rongcheng, and he also knew about the entanglement between Xiao Muzhen and Huo Yunting. Now that he had finally made her forget the past, how could he let the two of them be together again?
Huo Yunting said seriously, "Boss Xiao, I'm not kidding."
Xiao Tuo put down the teacup and his expression became solemn and serious.
"My daughter has a spoiled personality and I'm afraid she won't get along with Mr. Huo."
Huo Yunting's eyes turned cold. Was he planning to reject him?
"We haven't even met yet, so how does Mr. Xiao know we're not suitable? If Mr. Xiao is willing to arrange a blind date for me and Ms. Xiao, I can give up the Repulse Bay project and hand it over to the Xiao family."
Xiao Tuo's eyes suddenly turned extremely cold. "Boss Huo, I won't use my daughter to gain benefits. I think what Boss Huo needs is a family that can exchange family affection for benefits. You've found the wrong person!"
After saying that, Xiao Tuo stood up and left.
Even when he got home, his face still looked extremely ugly.
Seeing him like this, Xun Zi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? Is there anyone in the capital who dares to make you angry?"
Xiao Tuo said unhappily: "I met with Huo Yunting tonight."
Upon hearing this, Xun Zi quickly glanced at the stairs and found that Xiao Muzhen was not there, so she quickly pulled him into the room.
"Why are you bringing up Huo Yunting at home?! Zhenzhen has finally forgotten the past, and I don't want her to think about it again."
Xiao Tuo frowned. "I know. Huo Yunting found me today and asked me to introduce him to Zhenzhen for a blind date. I guess Zhenzhen's affairs can't be hidden for much longer."
Xun Zi pursed her lips, her face solemn. "I didn't expect the Huo family to develop so quickly. Three years ago, we sent Zhenzhen abroad to study so that she and Huo Yunting wouldn't meet. Now we can't send her away for another three years. They're bound to meet sooner or later."
Xiao Tuo was silent for a while, then said coldly, "No matter what, I won't let him hurt Zhenzhen again, nor will I agree to them being together again!"
Xun Zi sighed, "I still remember how desperate Zhen Zhen was three years ago. I finally managed to make her forget Huo Yunting. Now she's happy, and that's enough. I don't want her to continue to be entangled with Huo Yunting."
"But looking at Huo Yunting's expression, he has obviously guessed that Zhenzhen is his ex-wife. I guess he won't give up easily."
Xun Zi snorted coldly, her voice tinged with anger. "So what if he won't give up easily?! Is the Xiao family still afraid of him?! He's not worthy of Zhenzhen at all. I just hope Zhenzhen can live a peaceful and happy life for the rest of her life, without any more troubles!"
"Alright, let's take this matter one step at a time. I'm going to the study to deal with the documents. You go to bed first."
After Xiao Tuo left, Xun Zi thought about it and still felt uneasy, so she immediately called her best friend and asked her to find some more photos of young talents. It didn't matter if their conditions were not so good, the most important thing was that they had good character.
After the Q&A session with her best friend, Xun Zi finally felt much more at ease.
As long as Huo Yunting lets her be with another man before he finds Xiao Muzhen, she doesn't believe that Huo Yunting would dare to snatch her away by force!
The next morning, Xiao Muzhen just went downstairs to go to work, and saw two tall and strong bodyguards in black standing in the living room.
There was a flicker of doubt in her eyes, "Mom, are you going out?"
It seems that Xun Zi never made such a big fuss when she went shopping before?
Xun Zi waved at her, called Xiao Muzhen to her side, and slowly said: "Zhenzhen, I am worried about you going to work, so I found two bodyguards to protect you. These two are the best selected from the Dragon Group. One is called Long Tian and the other is called Long Di. They are two brothers and will be responsible for protecting your safety from now on."
Xiao Muzhen's eyes were full of surprise, and she refused directly: "Mom, no need. I'm just going to work, not to do anything dangerous. A member of the Dragon Group is worth ten of them, so it would be a waste to use them to protect me. Besides, I have the ability to protect myself."
As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of surprise flashed in Long Tian and Long Di's eyes. They obviously didn't expect Xiao Muzhen to be so reasonable. At first, they thought that they had to protect a delicate young lady who treated them like servants, and they were very reluctant in their hearts.
"No, you're a girl, and you have to commute so far every day. If someone in the company bullies you, we won't be able to get there immediately. I feel more at ease sending two people to stay with you."
Xiao Muzhen looked helpless, "Mom, I really don't need it. Besides, if I bring two bodyguards to work, those who know will say I'm going to work, and those who don't know won't know what to say. Anyway, I don't want these two bodyguards!"
After saying that, Xiao Muzhen turned around and left.
Her father and brothers didn't ask the Dragon Group to protect them closely, so she didn't need them even more.
Xun Zi glanced at Long Tian and Long Di, who were standing there, and said calmly, "Why are you still here? From now on, Zhen Zhen is the one you are sworn to protect. As for returning to the Dragon Group, you don't have to think about it. The moment you leave the Dragon Group, you are no longer a member of the Dragon Group."
Upon hearing this, the two's eyes darkened. Long Tian was silent for a few seconds, but he couldn't help but say, "Madam, we want to go on a mission, even if it means sacrifice, but we don't want to follow the young lady around all day doing nothing."
Xun Zi sneered, "Do you think you'll be safe and secure by Zhen Zhen's side? From today on, she'll be surrounded by all sorts of dangers, no less dangerous than the missions you're on. If you don't want to protect her, just leave."
Long Tian wanted to speak again, but was pulled back by Long Di next to him.
"Madam, we will definitely protect the young lady, even if it means sacrificing our own lives!"
Being dragged out of the Xiao family villa by Long Di, Long Tiancai angrily said: "Why didn't you let me speak just now?! I have suffered for more than ten years, not just to follow a young lady around as a servant all day long!"
"If you had continued what you said just now, Madam would have really driven us away. The only way now is to stay with the eldest lady first and wait for an opportunity to apply to return to the Dragon Group later."
Long Tian's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction and indignation. "I would rather live in the midst of gunfire and rain of bullets every day than be so frustrated by being by the young lady's side."
Long Di smiled bitterly, "Who isn't? But do we have any choice now? Let's go..."
Xiao Muzhen had no idea that Xun Zi asked Long Tian and Long Di to continue protecting her, so she drove directly to Qingshang.
The HR manager personally took her through the onboarding process and then led her to the office. He said with a smile, "Miss Xiao, the Second Young Master said you didn't want to be too high-profile, so I didn't let anyone know you were a member of the Xiao family. I hope Miss Xiao won't be angry."
Xiao Muzhen nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you, Manager Wang. This is great. My brothers also started out as employees in the company. I don't want to be noticed just because I'm a member of the Xiao family. I hope my colleagues will pay attention to my work."
Looking at Xiao Muzhen's graceful and elegant demeanor, the HR manager looked at her with a higher regard in his heart.
"Okay, Miss Xiao, if you have anything, you can come to my office anytime."
Xiao Muzhen was somewhat helpless, "Manager Wang, just call me Xiao Sheji from now on."
"OK."
After Manager Wang left, Xiao Muzhen began to familiarize herself with the work. Since she had just joined the company and had not yet been assigned an assistant, she had to do many things herself.
However, what she didn't know was that because Manager Wang personally took her to visit the company, it had already caused discussion in the design department.
"Did you see the new designer who joined today? Manager Wang personally took her through the onboarding process and the company tour, and even showed her to the office. Could she be a parachuted-in designer?"
