Chapter 603: Burning with Anxiety
Xiao family.
Xun Zi was watching TV when the phone next to her suddenly vibrated.
She unlocked the phone, saw the message, pursed her lips, got up, went back to the bedroom, and dialed the number.
"What did you find out?"
"Madam, Mr. Xiao has been meeting with Huo Yunting's secretary almost every week lately, but each meeting is very short, so I don't know what they are talking about."
Xun Zi was silent for a moment, then whispered, "I understand. Keep watching, and tell me if you find anything!"
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Xun Zi thought for a while and made a decision in his heart.
Near noon the next day, Xun Zi walked into the Xiao family carrying a lunch box.
After reaching the top floor, the secretary immediately came to greet me.
"Mrs. Xiao, Mr. Xiao is still in a meeting."
Xun Zi smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll go to his office and wait for him."
"OK."
After entering Xiao Tuo's office and closing the door, Xun Zi put down her lunch box and took out a bug from her bag.
She stared at the eavesdropping device for a while, and finally made up her mind. She slowly walked to Xiao Tuo's office and squatted down.
When Xiao Tuo came out of the meeting, he saw Xun Zi in his office and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Azi, why are you here today?"
Xun Zi raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, then said unhappily, "Why? Are you finding me annoying?"
"How could that be? I just want you to have a good rest and not have to bring me food all the time."
"I'm just bored eating at home alone. If you can get Zhenzhen to come home and keep me company, I won't bother you anymore."
Xiao Tuo: “…”
"Okay, come and eat quickly. I've been waiting for you for a long time and the food is cold."
"Next time, you can eat first and don't have to wait for me. The company has been busy lately and has to attend meetings frequently."
Xun Zi smiled, looked at him and said, "Just now you told me that I don't have to come here all the time, and now you're saying it'll be next time?"
"If you're willing to come over, I'd certainly like to see you every day."
"Well, I don't have time. I have a shopping appointment tomorrow. You can ask your secretary to order takeout."
After the two finished their meal, Xun Zi packed up her things and left.
When she got back to the car, she didn't start it in a hurry. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and opened an app.
Soon, a voice came from the phone.
"Mr. Xiao, these are the contracts for several recent mergers and acquisitions. Please take a look and see if there are any problems."
"Okay, leave it there. I'll look at it later."
Hearing the clear voice inside, Xun Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, we just have to wait for the next time Ke Ning comes to see Xiao Tuo, and then we will know what they are doing behind the scenes.
After returning home, Xun Zi called Xiao Muzhen and asked her to come back for dinner in the evening.
After what happened with Qingshang last time, she didn't plan to let Xiao Muzhen continue working outside and decided to let her join the Xiao Group. With Xiao Tuo looking after her, no one would dare to bully Xiao Muzhen.
In the evening, Xiao Muzhen walked into the Xiao family.
Xun Zi saw her and smiled, "Zhenzhen is back, come and sit down, I have something to tell you."
Seeing her happy smile, Xiao Muzhen paused for a moment, "Mom, you're not going to arrange another blind date for me, are you? I won't go!"
Xun Zi choked for a moment, then said unhappily, "Do you think I'm that kind of person?! You made it so clear last time. I won't make any arrangements for you in the near future."
"Recently?"
Xiao Muzhen raised his eyebrows, looking a little unhappy.
"What else?! Do you think that if you never fall in love, I'll have to watch you stay single for the rest of your life?!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. What do you want from me tonight?"
"Come here first."
Xiao Muzhen walked over and sat down opposite her, looking a little wary.
"Mom, are you coming up with some new trick to trick me into a blind date?"
"I'm going to be sad if you doubt me like this!"
Xun Zi glared at her, dissatisfaction in her eyes.
Xiao Muzhen curled her lips and said, "That's because you've cheated me several times, so I don't dare to trust you anymore."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I plan to let you work at Xiao's."
Xiao Muzhen was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "I'm not going."
"If you don't go, then go on a blind date!"
Xiao Muzhen: "..."
Is there any necessary connection between the two?!
Seeing her speechless face, Xun Zi sighed and said, "You said before that I interfered with your feelings. I thought about it and it's not right to force you to go on a blind date. But if you stay at home all the time, you won't have the chance to meet men outside, and you definitely won't have the chance to fall in love."
"Besides, it's not healthy for you to stay at home every day, so I plan to let you work at Xiao's and get to know more people. Maybe you can find the right person."
Xiao Muzhen was about to refuse, but Xun Zi continued, "Blind date or go to Xiao's, you choose one."
After struggling for a while, Xiao Muzhen finally compromised.
"Okay, I'll go to Xiao's, but I have to make it clear first that I want to choose the department myself, and then you can't go to Xiao's to find me, and you can't let others know my identity."
Xun Zi agreed directly, "Okay."
Seeing that she agreed so readily, Xiao Muzhen felt like he had fallen into a trap.
"Mom, you're not going to arrange for me to meet a man behind my back again, are you?"
"No, I'm not that free. Besides, didn't you say you can choose the department yourself? How else can I arrange it?"
"Oh well."
When Xiao Tuo came back, Xun Zi mentioned this matter while eating. Xiao Muzhen had hoped that Xiao Tuo would refuse, but she didn't expect Xiao Tuo to agree directly.
"That's fine. I was planning to give you a branch to manage in the near future. It's not bad for you to learn something at Xiao's now."
Xiao Muzhen silently took a mouthful of rice and looked at Xiao Tuo with resentment.
"By the way, which department do you want to go to?"
"Let's go to the design department. It's also my specialty."
Xiao Tuo nodded. "That's fine, but I admire the chief designer of the design department. If you go straight in and become the chief designer, people will definitely think you're using a backdoor. Even if you really have the real talent, others will look down on you."
"How about this? You start as an ordinary designer. There's a bidding meeting next week. If your design can get a recommendation from the department head, I'll propose a promotion to chief designer."
"good."
Xiao Muzhen was not very interested in the chief designer.
Seeing that she didn't seem interested, Xiao Tuo couldn't help but frown.
"Zhenzhen, are you still thinking about Huo Yunting? Haven't you gotten over that incident?"
Xiao Muzhen was stunned for a moment, and the hand holding the chopsticks tightened unconsciously.
After a while, she lowered her head and said, "No, I just want to be a designer, just drawing, and not do anything else. Besides, my ability won't change whether I'm the chief designer or not."
