"this......"
"It was I who replied."
Huo Yeshuo slightly raised his chin, his eyes flashed, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line, seemingly not thinking that there was anything wrong with what he was doing.
Lin Zhenzhen lowered her head and muttered softly, "How could you look at my phone like that?"
"I'm sorry." Huo Yeshuo put one hand in his pocket. "But I didn't mean to pry into your privacy. It must be a problem with your phone."
Lin Zhenzhen looked up at him.
Huo Yeshuo continued, "These voice messages were all played automatically. I saw that she seemed very anxious, so I took it upon myself to explain the situation."
"Auto-play?" Lin Zhenzhen frowned, her eyes showing apology.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was like this. This phone broke once and has been having a lot of strange problems ever since."
Hearing her distant and polite words, Huo Yeshuo's brows furrowed unconsciously.
He suppressed the inexplicable annoyance that was rising in his heart and replied curtly that he was fine.
"But have you listened to all the audio in here?"
Lin Zhenzhen seemed a little uneasy, her fingers fidgeting up and down, her knuckles turning slightly white.
"No." Huo Yeshuo paused. "The message notification sound was too noisy, so I briefly explained and then turned off my phone."
Lin Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Huo Yeshuo changed the subject, a cold glint in his dark eyes: "However, she said Luo Meng was targeting you?"
Lin Zhenzhen looked up abruptly, her face filled with panic: "President Huo, we didn't mean to gossip about our superiors, it's just..."
Huo Yeshuo felt even more annoyed. Was he really that scary?
Or does she think he's so stupid he lacks even basic judgment?
"Alright, no need to explain."
Lin Zhenzhen shut her mouth, and her eyes immediately reddened.
Huo Yeshuo clenched his fist in frustration, trying to soften his tone: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter fairly and justly."
"ah?"
Huo Yeshuo frowned and patiently explained, "Luo Meng, as the CFO, brought her personal emotions into her work, increasing her workload without purpose and slowing down the entire department's progress."
"Moreover, they disregarded the health of their employees and almost caused a huge negative impact on the company."
Lin Zhenzhen stared wide-eyed, looking somewhat silly.
"So you knew everything all along."
Huo Yeshuo gave a faint "hmm": "I heard it from the autoplaying voice message."
Lin Zhenzhen's eyelids twitched, and her thick, long eyelashes fluttered twice.
"but……"
"Okay, there are indeed some chat logs from even higher up."
Huo Yeshuo looked at her and added, "I didn't mean to look; it's just that my reading speed has always been faster than most people's."
Lin Zhenzhen lowered her head, revealing her fluffy, soft head and a round hair whorl.
Huo Yeshuo's gaze lingered there for a long time.
A strange and terrifying thought popped into his mind.
He suddenly wanted to reach out and rub that soft head to see if it felt the same as he imagined.
"Thank you." Lin Zhenzhen looked up and smiled, her dimples on both sides of her cheeks making Huo Yeshuo somewhat lost in thought.
He looked away and said awkwardly, "No need to thank me. I'm not helping you; I'm just doing my duty."
"I mean, thank you for bringing me to the hospital."
Lin Zhenzhen's eyes curved into a beautiful arc: "This is the second time you've saved me."
Huo Yeshuo left in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to attend to.
Lin Zhenzhen stood there, calmly watching him leave.
[Get out here, you pig! How much favorability does Huo Yeshuo have towards me now?]
[Let me see, wow, you're 50! Host, you're amazing!]
Hehe, your tone sounds so fake.
Hehe, but my plan is going very smoothly!
Look, Huo Yeshuo successfully rescued Luo Meng and also learned the full story of her workplace bullying. Although there were a few minor setbacks along the way, they were all resolved smoothly~
You almost suffocated me = a minor setback? Haha, you're really something.
Besides, your ridiculous plan is full of flaws. If any small part of it goes wrong, it won't be able to proceed at all. It would be a miracle if it succeeds.
Lin Zhenzhen felt exhausted and was just about to lie down and rest when there was a soft knocking on the door.
