Huo Yeshuo walked quickly and angrily toward Lin Zhenzhen.
"Ah, I've had some water and I feel much better. Thank you so much! I'll be going now, no need to trouble you to see me off. Goodbye!"
Lin Zhenzhen took off running.
"stop."
Lin Zhenzhen stopped abruptly, looking miserable, and slowly turned around.
"Mr. Huo, is there anything else?"
Huo Yeshuo stepped forward, "That night..."
Lin Zhenzhen swallowed hard and repeated, "That night..."
Huo Yeshuo frowned, his eyes filled with displeasure: "What did you say to Qin Chuan that night?"
"Huh?" Lin Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, then her mind raced and she immediately realized that Huo Yeshuo had not yet discovered that she had been secretly photographed.
“He didn’t say anything.” Lin Zhenzhen seemed to be trying to think. “Dr. Qin saw that I was sitting on the chair in the corridor and came over to check on me. Then he said a bunch of things that I couldn’t understand.”
"Later I realized that Dr. Qin was telling me not to bother Mr. Huo anymore. I had no choice but to ask him for money."
With each word Lin Zhenzhen spoke, Huo Yeshuo's face darkened further.
Finally, he frowned, gritted his teeth, and said, "That idiot."
"What's wrong?" Of course, Lin Zhenzhen wouldn't admit that she had been talking nonsense and was deliberately leading Qin Chuan in a strange direction.
She tilted her head, looking innocent and naive: "Did Dr. Qin say something to you?"
Huo Yeshuo looked up at her, but he didn't say anything. He just carefully examined Lin Zhenzhen with his eyes.
In such lighting conditions, his pupils appeared extremely dark, a deep, unfathomable black.
Although Huo Yeshuo has a noble appearance, his temperament is cold and aloof, and he is always serious. Even seasoned businessmen would feel a little intimidated when dealing with him.
But Lin Zhenzhen is different. Not to mention that after so many years in the entertainment industry, her mental fortitude is stronger than most people's. The experiences she's had in so many small worlds have forged an invulnerable heart in her.
It's just playing dumb and acting innocent, no big deal!
Lin Zhenzhen's eyes slowly widened, her round black pupils trembling slightly, giving a demonstrative lesson in pupil dilation.
"Was it because my request to borrow money from Dr. Qin was too abrupt and caused you any trouble, Mr. Huo?"
Before Huo Yeshuo could even speak.
She quickly shook her head and explained to herself, "But Mr. Huo and I are just strangers who met by chance, so it shouldn't have any impact. Could it be that Dr. Qin has misunderstood something?"
Huo Yeshuo parted his thin lips slightly.
However, Lin Zhenzhen had no intention of handing the initiative over to the other party and decisively interrupted his prelude.
She took a step back, faced Huo Yeshuo, and bowed deeply.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Huo, all of this is because of me. I'm truly sorry for the trouble I've caused you. But please rest assured, I will talk to Dr. Qin and explain everything clearly."
"..." Huo Yeshuo shut his mouth, looked away, and strode toward the elevator.
Judging from his expression, I don't know if he believed it or not, but he was definitely speechless with himself.
This was exactly the effect Lin Zhenzhen wanted. She shamelessly sidled up to them and took the same elevator downstairs with the two of them.
Kangkong Pharmaceutical's elevators are of excellent quality; they went directly from the 56th floor to the 2nd floor in about ten seconds.
The dark gray metallic elevator doors perfectly separated the inside from the outside. During this time, Huo Yeshuo was undisturbed and focused on replying to messages on his phone.
Before the elevator doors opened, he had already finished dealing with the pile of unread messages and turned around to take the documents from Zhang Minglang's hand.
He was like a machine with a strict program, every minute, every second, and every step was planned in advance.
Huo Yeshuo sacrificed some of the fun in his life in exchange for work efficiency that was truly admirable.
"Ding!" The sound of this elevator opening seemed different from the others, like the sound of a metal bell being struck.
Lin Zhenzhen vaguely felt that the voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
The moment the door opened, the clamor of the crowd and the clatter of plates rushed in.
Huo Yeshuo put down the documents and strode forward. Zhang Minglang took two steps and then turned to look at her.
Lin Zhenzhen immediately smiled and waved cheerfully, "Thank you, Assistant Zhang. Goodbye!"
"And Mr. Huo, bye-bye!"
Zhang Tianlang slipped again, not daring to look at his boss's expression.
It has to be said that it is a miracle that someone who is so rare can grow up so safely and peacefully!
Lin Zhenzhen randomly picked a Shaxian snack shop downstairs for lunch.
During this time, Lu Yangyun called her and asked why she didn't report to work at Lu's today.
With a mouthful of rice stuck in her throat, Lin Zhenzhen lowered her voice and said, "Brother Yangyun, I told you I don't want to rely on your connections to make a living."
After two days of calm, Lu Yangyun's emotions have basically stabilized.
He didn't stop Lin Zhenzhen anymore, but comforted her, saying that if she felt tired, she could come back to him anytime and not to push herself.
"If my precious little girl is bullied by others, it will break my heart."
Lin Zhenzhen rolled her eyes, patted her chest, and suppressed the acid reflux that was rising in her throat.
"Yes, I know. Brother Yangyun is the best to me."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhenzhen angrily slammed her chopsticks down.
This stinky man is so greasy, he's made her lose her appetite.
The system remained silent: […Really? I thought you were already stuffed.]
Lin Zhenzhen picked up her bag and left in a huff.
She guessed that the reason Lu Yangyun was so easy to talk to was not only because her previous attitude had been firm enough.
Another major reason is that, in order to maximize the man's protective instincts, the original owner always acted clingy and weak, a modern-day parasitic vine that couldn't lift a finger or carry a load.
In Lu Yangyun's eyes, Lingzhen couldn't endure hardship or fatigue and could only survive by relying on his protection.
Lu Yangyun might even be pleased with her whim, because he's convinced she'll admit defeat and back down.
Once she experiences failure, all the thorns she had left will fall away, and she will face reality, becoming more and more dependent on him and more and more inseparable from him.
The more spirited she is now, the more pathetic she becomes when she comes back to him crying.
Lin Zhenzhen guessed correctly; after Lu Yangyun hung up her call, he immediately dialed the internal line.
"Keep an eye on Aya's movements. She doesn't need to report everything to me. I just need to know which company she went to and who she met."
"Help her? No, no need. I'll tell you what to do when necessary."
