Chapter 233 Secretary Jiang, long time no see
Coincidentally, when Huo Sili received Jiang Qin's call, he was with Wen Chen.
The Huo family and the Wen family recently have an overseas cooperation project, and the two are discussing it in the Huo family’s president’s office.
Wen Chen's special assistants Lu Qi and He Xu were taking notes. When the cell phone rang, Huo Sili noticed that it was an unfamiliar number.
But even though it showed as an unfamiliar number, Huo Sili had already memorized the number by heart. He just never dared to hope that Jiang Qin would call him one day, and he was afraid of adding to her sadness, so he never added it to her address book.
So when the phone rang, Horsley glanced at her and his eyes lit up instantly.
His face was filled with joy, and his hand slid open the answer button almost instantly.
The other three people who noticed the change in Horsley's expression were a little curious.
But seeing Huo Sili quickly put the phone to his ear, and his voice was particularly gentle, as soft as the spring breeze in March, the other two people except Lu Qi also guessed a possibility in their hearts.
Who else could be as gentle as Huo Sili to Jiang Qin?
"Qinqin?"
Suddenly, they heard Huo Sili call out the name in a low voice with a tone of disbelief and hope, confirming their guess.
However, I saw with my own eyes that Horsley quickly got up from the sofa, walked quickly into the inner room, and quickly closed the door.
Wen Chen and He Xu didn't know what to say.
Do they look like the type to eavesdrop?
Lu Qi was Wen Chen's newly promoted special assistant. He knew nothing about Huo Sili and Jiang Qin and was just curious at the moment. However, his professional ethics were there, and Huo Sili, the special assistant, was also there, so he naturally didn't act foolishly and inquire about them at this time.
The three of them continued to look at the plan outside.
In the president's office, Jiang Qin's voice came from the phone held by Huo Sili, "Yes, it's me."
Then, she got straight to the point: "I want to ask you for a favor and take me to see Mr. Wen."
Wen Chen and Huo Sili are good brothers. I don’t know if Wen Chen knows about her “death” in a car accident three years ago.
Furthermore, even if Wen Chen didn't know that she was dead, even if she wanted to use Huo Sili, she had to use the identity of Huo Sili's former wife. Given Wen Chen's personality, he would most likely avoid suspicion if his brother's wife suddenly came to visit, and he might even simply not meet her.
Therefore, it would be safest and most efficient for Huo Sili to go to the Wen family with her.
This is what Jiang Qin thought.
When Huo Sili heard Jiang Qin's words, he was undoubtedly in a complicated mood for a moment. After he answered the call, the joy on his face faded visibly.
But I don’t know what he was thinking about, but soon, joy appeared on the man’s face again.
Yes, so what if she called him to ask for help?
At least, he just happened to be qualified to help her, unlike others who didn't even have the qualifications.
At least, she didn't call to warn him to stop disturbing her life.
Thinking of this, Huo Sili opened his thin lips and agreed to the matter: "Okay, when exactly?"
He paused and looked at the door, then said, "I'm with President Wen right now, discussing cooperation in the president's office at the headquarters. Qinqin, do you want to come over now? I'll ask He Xu to drive over to pick you up?"
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Qin paused. She had thought that Huo Sili probably wouldn't reject her, but she certainly didn't expect things to progress so quickly.
However, if the problem can be resolved sooner, it means that her Lele can sleep well one night earlier, and she can also focus more on finding a new venue, and perhaps find a suitable one sooner.
This way, the wedding will have a greater chance of going smoothly.
It can be said that there are only benefits and no harm.
I looked at the time. It was still early, only three o'clock in the afternoon.
Tiantian was not sleeping either. She was in the children's room with Song Xinye, Aunt Zhou and others. She was able to explain everything clearly to her daughter before leaving, so she didn't have to worry about Tiantian waking up from her sleep and finding that she was missing, which would make her little head think too much and worry too much.
Furthermore, the weather is pretty good right now. It’s not snowing and the sun is out. It’s a pretty suitable weather for traveling in Kyoto at this season.
Jiang Qin: "Well, I'll go there now, but there's no need for He Xu to pick me up. It's too much trouble. I'll call you when I get there, and you can ask him to pick me up outside the square downstairs."
It takes at least an hour and a half to get from here to Huo's, even with normal traffic jams.
It would take three hours to go back and forth, and it would be too much trouble to ask He Xu to come and pick it up. Jiang Qin felt that it was unnecessary.
Moreover, after three years, she didn't know how to get along with He Xu. After all, she knew very well the relationship between He Xu and Huo Sili. As Huo Sili's confidant, He Xu probably always considered Huo Sili in everything he did.
As for her faked death three years ago, what the old housekeeper said that day undoubtedly had a lot of negative effects on Huo Sili. He Xu probably had some opinions about her as well.
Three years is not just three days, it's enough time for things and people to change. Jiang Qin really doesn't know how to get along with him. She also doesn't want He Xu to keep telling her about Huo Sili's experiences in the past three years like the old housekeeper did that day.
Whether you say she is too heartless or too cruel, Jiang Qin three years later really doesn't want to hear it.
I don't want to like any man anymore.
However, when she resigned, she was prohibited from entering the square outside the Huo Building without the Huo's employee card, so it was necessary to ask He Xu to come downstairs to pick her up.
Huo Sili wanted to say something, but Jiang Qin made the decision unilaterally.
"Okay, that's it. See you later. Thanks in advance."
Thanks……
Horsley frowned slightly, wanting to say no.
But on the other end, Jiang Qin had already pressed the hang-up button without any reluctance.
Listening to the crisp beep, the "thank you" that Jiang Qin just said seemed to still echo in my ears.
Huo Sili pursed his thin lips a little bit, his drooping eyelashes cast a shadow on his handsome and cold face, and his whole body was shrouded in dejection and loneliness again.
However, I thought I would be able to meet her soon.
This emotion quickly dissipated.
Horsley went into the inner room with built-in bathroom.
After a while, three people sitting on the sofa outside the president's office with the planning proposal in their hands read it over and over again. It was the first time they discussed cooperation and felt the helplessness of waiting for a long time for the meal in the restaurant they often visited.
Wen Chen looked at He Xu, and almost wanted to ask He Xu to go and ask what was going on.
Suddenly, the door of the lounge was opened from the inside, and Horsley walked out holding a cell phone with a calm look on his face.
Wen Chen glanced at Huo Sili, and raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing whether he discovered something.
But soon, Wen Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at the plan, wanting to continue talking to Huo Sili about the cooperation project plan.
But who would have thought, as soon as he opened his mouth, "My wife called and said she has something to talk to you about."
Horsley walked around to the front of the sofa and sat down, looking at him expressionlessly, and blurted out these words abruptly.
Wen Chen paused, and a hint of obvious doubt, confusion and absurdity appeared on his gentle and handsome face.
"What did Mr. Huo say just now?"
It’s not that Wen Chen didn’t hear clearly, but he really suspected that he was hallucinating.
After all, he still hadn't forgotten what happened three years ago when the couple went to the Wen family to discuss cooperation with him and Huo Sili got jealous and went crazy because his daughter Duoduo ran over and hugged Jiang Qin's legs and mistakenly called Jiang Qin "Mom".
So, when Huo Sili said just now that Jiang Qin called him because she had something to discuss with him, Wen Chen had a hunch that Huo Sili was jealous again.
After all, you're jealous of such a little kid, and such a cute little girl.
Wen Chen felt that it must be Huo Sili's own problem.
However, after saying this, Horsley repeated what he had just said and said.
"Okay, let's talk about the plan first. When my wife comes over, we can talk about personal matters."
Wen Chen felt wronged and absurd: "......!?"
Horsley began to look through the plan.
"Mr. Huo, no, Si Li, please don't talk nonsense."
Wen Chen felt that he needed to explain, "The last time Mrs. Huo and I met up close was three years ago when you and Mrs. Huo came to my house together to discuss cooperation.
"I did go to the old lady's birthday party, but I was several tables away from you, as you know."
Huo Sili glanced at Wen Chen, acting as if he was standing on a moral high ground.
Wen Chen was speechless again.
"We'll talk about personal matters later."
Wen Chen felt a sense of frustration that could not be washed away even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
He Xu and Lu Qi next to him looked at Wen Chen with something strange in their eyes.
Fortunately, there were few cars at this time and Jiang Qin arrived quickly.
Just after finishing the discussion and signing the document, Huo Sili received another call from Jiang Qin.
"I'm here, and the car can't get into the square."
Horsley's voice was very gentle: "What's the license plate number?"
Jiang Qin automatically switched to a robotic male voice and reported a license plate number.
After a few seconds, the patrolling security guard said we could drive in and led the way personally.
The car finally stopped at the entrance of the building, which was the only place where Horsley's car could be parked in the past three years.
After receiving the instructions, He Xu quickly took the elevator down.
Jiang Qin had just gotten off the car and was walking towards the gate when the elevator He Xu was riding in just reached the first floor.
However, before the elevator door opened, the receptionist and several security guards standing on the side had their eyes wide open and were all looking at her.
“Jiang, Secretary Jiang…!?”
Hearing this name again, Jiang Qin felt a little dazed.
Turning to look at the receptionist who called her that, Jiang Qin smiled and nodded.
"Well, long time no see."
The receptionist's eyes widened, her face was a little pale, and she was obviously excited. It was obvious that she probably knew about her car accident three years ago. "Hello, long time no see!"
Jiang Qin smiled and said nothing more.
He Xu, who walked out quickly, undoubtedly noticed the way people around him looked at Jiang Qin, so he glanced over.
Immediately, everyone around turned their gazes away, and He Xu walked up to Jiang Qin and said respectfully.
"Ma'am, please."
