Chapter 685 She is jealous
The soundproofing in the office was actually pretty good, except that the girl's voice and laughter were a little too loud.
It's like the chirping of a lark, clear and melodious.
There were some subtle changes in Qiao Xi's heart.
Finally, he reached out and knocked on the office door.
"Come in."
Huo Xingzhou's voice came from inside, and even the girl's laughter stopped.
When Qiao Xi opened the door, she saw that there were only two people in the office.
The girl on the sofa, holding a cup of coffee, was dressed stylishly. She wore a Chanel couture pale pink gown underneath, a trench coat casually draped over it. She was thin but well-proportioned, and a pair of high leather boots made her legs look slender and straight.
The face is pure and clean, and the makeup is exquisite.
The long, thick, black hair was vertical, shiny and smooth.
Qiao Xi looked at her and felt that she looked familiar.
When the girl saw her, she also smiled warmly and said, "Brother Huo, this is my sister-in-law!"
She stood up and walked in front of Qiao Xi and praised, "Sister-in-law is so beautiful, I am Xia Sisi."
Xia Sisi?
The most popular pure little flower in the entertainment industry, no actress of the same type can compete with her. She has been making a name for herself in the entertainment industry since she was a child and debuted as a child star.
Her acting skills are outstanding and her aura is compelling.
He has a very good reputation and a mild temper.
The fans accumulated over the years are devoted followers and there has never been any scandal about him.
No wonder it looks familiar.
Qiao Xi smiled, nodded, and said, "Hello, I'm Qiao Xi."
"Sister-in-law, I've heard of you for a long time. I was hoping to make an appointment with you to take my pulse one day, but Brother Huo hid you so well that I didn't even have the chance to meet you." Xia Sisi complimented her as soon as she saw her.
Qiao Xi raised her brows and looked at Huo Xingzhou on the other side of the office.
Huo Xingzhou stood up and walked over to her side with his long legs. He took the thermos from her and explained, "Tianyuan Group is looking for a new spokesperson, and Miss Xia is one of the candidates. Her brother is the doctor I mentioned, Xia Yongan, who is attending physician to Xiang Mingzhu."
“So that’s the relationship.”
Qiao Xi thought that another person like Xu Xingluo had come.
Huo Xingzhou met Xia Yongan when he was studying abroad, and she had heard him talk about him.
Xia Sisi was very tactful. Seeing that the couple had something to say, she spoke up, "I've delivered your message. I'll be leaving now. I won't disturb your world of two."
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Old Chen, go and see him off."
"Yes, Master."
Old Chen followed Xia Sisi out and gently closed the office door.
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou were the only ones left in the huge office.
She took the thermos back from Huo Xingzhou's hand, opened the lid, took out all the food inside and placed it on the coffee table.
"They're just some simple dishes, stir-fried chrysanthemum and corn and pork rib soup. Just eat a little." Her tone was neither lukewarm nor indifferent as she handed him a bowl of dumplings. "These are small round dumplings. I cooked a few of them."
Huo Xingzhou took the small bowl of dumplings but did not eat it. Instead, he put it aside.
He walked to the side of the sofa, looked down at her, scratched her chin lightly with his fingers and said, "Who made you unhappy?"
Qiao Xi raised her head, and her almond-shaped eyes looked at him so pure and clear: "I'm not unhappy."
Huo Xingzhou slowly bent down, a faint smile in his deep and cold eyes, and the tip of his tall nose was almost touching hers.
The breath is intertwined.
The voice is slightly hoarse.
"You're unhappy."
Qiao Xi blinked slowly, met his gaze and said, "Brother Huo? I didn't expect you to have such a beautiful sister."
There was a sour smell in the air.
The corners of Huo Xingzhou's mouth sank slightly, and the curves of the corners of his eyes rose.
"Jealous?"
"I'm not jealous."
"Still not admitting it?" He bit the corner of her lips gently. "Is it so difficult to make me happy?"
That photo of her had made him jealous countless times.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips tightly, and there was still some residual warmth from him at the corners of her lips.
She lowered her voice and said, "A little bit."
Huo Xingzhou pinched her cheek and laughed, "She is Xia Yongan's sister, and she brought a message to Xia Yongan. For his sake, I agreed to let her try to be the spokesperson for Tianyuan Group. This is an exchange."
A group’s spokesperson may represent the appreciation of senior leadership.
It also represents a kind of connection in the entertainment industry, so many movie stars are competing to be the spokesperson for Tianyuan Group.
Qiao Xi asked, "Didn't you decide on her directly?"
"Give us only one chance, and who will win in the end will depend on our ability."
Qiao Xi pursed her lips slightly and looked at him.
But among so many spokespersons, he met Xia Sisi alone, and Xia Sisi even called him Brother Huo. If... those senior leaders valued Huo Xingzhou's opinions, the spokesperson position would most likely belong to Xia Sisi.
It's said that it depends on one's own ability, but... there will be some bias.
"Brother Huo."
She shouted word by word.
"Still jealous." Huo Xingzhou sat beside her, put his arm around her waist and said, "It doesn't matter what others call you, but only you can call me husband. You will always be different from others."
His eyes dimmed slightly.
He would not allow Xia Sisi to shout like that next time. He knew that she wanted to use this to deepen the impression of her among the top management and make them favor her.
Said.
He pulled out his phone, dialed a shortcut number, and said, "When selecting a spokesperson for the Tianyuan Group, we only consider character and professional ability. Nothing else matters. No one's connections will do, not even mine. I hope you can be fair and impartial in this matter and not affect the company's image in society."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Qiao Xi looked at him in surprise.
Huo Xingzhou turned his head and glanced at her. "What's wrong? Do you think I will really show favoritism? I have some understanding of what you are thinking."
The last bit of grudge in Qiao Xi's heart disappeared.
She was visibly pleased.
"Have some soup." She pushed the corn and pork ribs soup in front of him with some courtesy. "My husband is hungry after a day of work."
"Sweet talk."
Huo Xingzhou was drinking soup from a bowl and praised it, "Not only is it sweet, but the soup is also good. Compared to Xiaoyuan's, it has a different taste."
The smile on Qiao Xi's face grew even wider. She shifted her seat and moved closer to him, saying, "I caused a scene at the Chinese Medicine Association today and brought Cheng Qingnian home! Now she lives next door to Grandpa Cheng. If only her illness could be cured...that would be great."
"Our little miracle doctor is really amazing."
Qiao Xi's ears felt slightly hot. "Don't praise me too much, but today the Lu family's father and daughter are furious! Especially Lu Yingxue. I even took the opportunity to get her hair! It's just right for me to do a paternity test with Cheng Qingnian."
Huo Xingzhou nodded: "Well done. But there is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow, so it will be hard for a few more days."
"Will tomorrow's scene be grand?" Huo Xingzhou didn't say such things easily, and Qiao Xi felt a little uneasy.
