Chapter 3 Are you familiar with him?
"Are you working at Huo's headquarters now? I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are still as outstanding as ever."
In the supermarket, Xie Youan walked beside Jiang Qin carrying a shopping basket and said sincerely.
Jiang Qin smiled faintly, "Thank you for the compliment, you are also very good."
Jiang Qin meant what she said. After a conversation just now, she learned that Xie Youan, who was the same age as her, was already the president of Yunteng Technology. Huo's company had cooperated with Yunteng Technology before, and its strength was evident.
Hearing this, Xie Youan, who was beside Jiang Qin, didn't know what he was thinking, but his eyes darkened a little.
However, these emotions were quickly concealed, and he turned to Jiang Qin and said, "By the way, didn't you like painting very much before? This time I returned to China for a long time, and I specially prepared a gift for you. In fact, I planned to contact you in the next few days."
This surprised Jiang Qin. "Gift? For me?"
In Jiang Qin's impression, she and Xie Youan did not seem to be that close. Although they were high school classmates, to be precise, they were in the same school and grade, not in the same class. In fact, when she recalled it, she felt that they were at most nodding acquaintances.
Xie Youan nodded and was about to continue speaking when an abrupt voice interrupted their conversation.
"Secretary Jiang?" The male voice sounded particularly familiar to Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin paused slightly, looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Huo Sili pushing a shopping cart between the shelves on the side, with Li Xueqian beside him.
Strangely enough, when they met, Jiang Qin subconsciously noticed the tie on Huo Sili's collar.
That was the birthday present she gave him in the second year of their secret marriage.
It was quite expensive, a private order from a famous brand. She came from an ordinary family and was used to being frugal, but she didn't feel bad about spending money on him at that time.
But at this moment... Jiang Qin realized it belatedly and felt heartbroken.
However, although she was the one who was hurt, it was Horsley who looked even more unhappy.
"What a coincidence, Secretary Jiang and President Xie are having a very pleasant chat." Huo Sili walked over here pushing a shopping cart.
Jiang Qin really didn't know what to say to him, because it was obvious that Huo Sili was the first to complain.
She just felt tired. The insomnia yesterday and the emotional blow in the morning were not redeemed by the short lunch break at noon. Now facing Huo Sili, Jiang Qin didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Jiang Qin?" Looking at Jiang Qin's back, Xie Youan was obviously surprised.
The man glanced at Huo Sili and said, "Mr. Huo, I'm sorry. I have to leave first."
Jiang Qin's act of turning a deaf ear to his words undoubtedly touched Huo Sili's sore spot.
His face darkened. Li Xueqian beside him glanced at Jiang Qin who was walking away quickly, then glanced at the young man who was chasing Jiang Qin, raised her eyebrows slightly, and finally moved her gaze back to Huo Sili's face.
"Brother Sili, do you want to chase her?" Li Xueqin said in a harmless tone.
Huo Sili suddenly gave him a cold look and asked, "Why should I chase after her?"
Li Xueqin froze, then she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag. Yes, she also found out that Huo Sili's wife was Jiang Qin from Yuan Lianqing. By saying that just now, wasn't she telling him that she had secretly inquired about his private life?
This obviously did not fit in with the image she had established in front of Horsley.
Thinking of this in a flash, Li Xueqian quickly threw the pot away and asked, "Ah, isn't she?"
"But when Aunt Yuan called me earlier, she told me that Brother Sili, you married your secretary, whose last name is Jiang, and they are secretly married."
Li Xueqian's voice became smaller and smaller. "Did I hear it wrongly?"
Li Xueqian didn't get an answer, and Huo Sili's eyes had already moved away from her face and looked into the distance.
With a woman's sixth sense, Li Xueqian knew that Huo Sili was looking for Jiang Qin, and she couldn't help feeling resentful.
A girl from an ordinary family, who only relied on her resemblance to her to win the favor of Horsley, even dared to throw a tantrum in front of Horsley.
Of course, the same goes for Huo Sili. She is the eldest daughter of Beijing. Even if she is looking for a substitute based on her image, she should find someone from a higher family background, right? Is a woman of such a lowly status worthy of being her substitute?
"Have you bought enough? I'll pay the bill."
Li Xueqian frowned, "Brother Sili, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Horsley walked away quickly with the shopping cart.
"It's a bit late, and my car is parked nearby, how about I take you home?"
At the supermarket exit, Xie Youan looked at Jiang Qin and said.
Jiang Qin shook her head and refused gently, "No, you must be tired after just returning home today. You can go back. I can take a taxi by myself."
Xie Youan wanted to say something, but when he saw the gentle smile on Jiang Qin's lips, he suddenly became silent.
He smiled back, "Okay then, be safe. I'll give you the gift some time. How about Saturday? Are you free?"
"I have social engagements all day Saturday, Secretary Jiang."
Huo Sili's voice interrupted. Jiang Qin frowned slightly, looked back, and then quickly turned her head back.
"Well, I'm really not free on Saturday."
"So, Sunday?"
"I'm not free on Sunday either." Horsley walked over quickly, carrying two large bags of snacks.
Xie Youan's expression changed, and Jiang Qin also frowned, but soon spoke in a low voice.
"Don't pay attention to him. He is like this. He can't distinguish between work and life. He is a leader without boundaries. He is annoying."
Xie Youan glanced at Huo Sili and felt that Jiang Qin's words were quite suitable for Huo Sili's current situation. He was indeed annoying.
Jiang Qin looked over and said, "Okay, you go back. I'm also going to take a taxi back."
Xie Youan glanced at Huo Sili again, then looked at Jiang Qin and smiled, "Okay, I'll be leaving now. Call me anytime if you need help."
Jiang Qin nodded politely, then picked up her phone, walked aside, and hailed a taxi.
There was an arm across her waist. Jiang Qin was startled and turned around, only to find that Huo Sili had quietly followed her and the two bags in his hands were gone.
She was held tightly by the waist and walked towards the parking lot, resisting to get rid of it.
"You don't want to leave like this, do you want me to carry you into the car?"
However, the man was so strong that he couldn't be shaken at all, and he still said so.
Huo Sili had really carried her into the car in public before, but Jiang Qin couldn't see through the Huo Sili of today.
People were coming and going. Thinking of this, Jiang Qin didn't dare to move. Huo Sili's face was too conspicuous and he was not wearing a mask.
She always remembered that they were in a secret marriage and could not make it public.
Well, they are about to get divorced, so what’s the big deal about it being in the news at this time?
Jiang Qin stopped struggling, but in the dark night, she still gave Huo Sili a cold look.
This man was her first love and her husband, but now, love has turned into resentment.
The car started and Jiang Qin turned her head to the side. Suddenly, her cell phone vibrated. It was the sound of an incoming email.
Jiang Qin took it out and looked at it, her eyes suddenly lit up. She majored in fine arts, and the job of secretary was not her original choice. She became Huo Sili's secretary for various reasons.
She has been thinking about changing jobs for years, especially after she realized that Horsley had changed his mind. However, all the resumes she sent out fell into the sea, or she was contacted but it turned out to be a fake recruitment and full of scams.
Unexpectedly, today, the overseas company she most wanted to work for actually gave her an offer, and the employment period was four months.
Four months was enough time for her and Horsley to complete the divorce procedures, and there was also ample time to apply for an overseas visa.
Jiang Qin read it carefully, clicked to confirm receipt without hesitation, and jumped to sign the employment agreement.
Huo Sili beside him suddenly said, "Are you familiar with Xie Youan?"
