Chapter 79 Why aren't you talking?
Jiang Qin picked up her phone and saw the WeChat message from Huo Sili.
[Things are almost done, I will come back early]
The hand holding the pen noticed something unusual, and when Jiang Qin came to her senses, she saw that the tip of the pen had poked a small hole in the paper.
Jiang Qin: “…”
Fortunately, when she was reviewing a document, if there was anything else that needed to be done in line, she would immediately remove the pen tip from the document to avoid damaging the document.
The tip of the pen poked the paper in her itinerary.
Jiang Qin's gaze fell back on the phone screen.
So, when Huo Sili said to do it in advance, he didn't say the specific day. Does he want to launch a surprise attack?
Having worked as Huo Sili's personal secretary for two years, Jiang Qin knew how strong Huo Sili's time management skills were.
He didn't say the specific time, so there is only one possibility.
That means he didn't want to say it and deliberately didn't say it.
As for the possibility or maybe in terms of time, it would never appear in Horsley's logic.
And realizing this, knowing that he did it on purpose.
Or to put it more bluntly, he was basically putting a mental chastity chain on her.
I don't think there is anything wrong with bringing other women home to spend the night.
She gave him a ride for a minute or two and explained everything to him, but he still thought there was something wrong with her.
Don't be so double-standard.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qin just felt annoyed. She picked up her phone and wanted to block Huo Sili again.
But after thinking about it, I realized that it was working hours now, so I finally endured it. But of course, it was only a shallow endurance.
As soon as she gets off work, she will kick him back to the blacklist!
Obviously, Huo Sili, who was far away in a foreign place, had no idea what Jiang Qin was thinking.
After sending the message, he stared at his phone for a long time.
But I didn’t see Jiang Qin replying.
Because the work was urgent, I hardly slept last night. I was dealing with the problem all night long, and then I continued to work all day today.
My eyelids are really drooping at this moment.
Unable to bear it any longer, he put his phone aside with the screen on, and fell into a deep sleep leaning on the pillow.
…
In the CEO's office at Huo's headquarters, it was twelve o'clock in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Qin left her workstation, not to go to the restaurant, but to the bathroom.
Maybe it was because today was warmer than usual, but her sleepiness symptoms were obviously more severe than usual.
I was replying to an email just now, and as I was typing away on the keyboard, I couldn’t help but start “fishing” again.
But Jiang Qin never expected that she could get to eat her own melon just like that.
And it’s very different from the stereotype.
The ones gossiping were not girls, but two men.
As expected, the gossip-mongering woman, in her opinion, was more like a gossipy man - some "real men" were the ones who were best at spreading rumors.
"Are Secretary Jiang and Mr. Huo in a relationship of support?"
Jiang Qin had just walked to the corner leading to the bathroom when she heard a young male voice talking about her with obvious ill intentions.
Another male voice replied: "Hey, that's not a good thing to say."
But as he said this, his tone showed obvious interest, and he was clearly trying to provoke the other party to continue.
Sure enough, the person who started the conversation continued quickly.
"No way, I'm not making this up! You don't know, one day at noon, Secretary Jiang almost fell down, and President Huo went to check on her, and she yelled at her! It was so loud, it scared me!"
He paused, as if realizing belatedly that this was the company, not an uninhabited area, and it was time to get off work.
He probably looked around, paused, and lowered his voice to add, "It wasn't just me. Several people heard it at the time. If you don't believe me, ask the people in the Information Department. They were there at the time."
Another audience member was a little shocked. "No way, damn, is this true?"
At first, I was excited. “That’s right.”
As he spoke, he clicked his tongue again, "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen Secretary Jiang get angry. It's also the first time I've ever seen anyone dare to get angry at President Huo!"
"What was Mr. Huo's reaction at that time? Was he not angry?"
"Why are you so angry? It's like you're trying to coax a lover. That's why I suspect they are in a relationship of keeping someone as their mistress. Otherwise, which boss wouldn't be angry if a subordinate yelled at him?"
"That's true." Another person continued, "The key point is, that's Mr. Huo. If what you said is true, then I also think that their relationship is not simple, but keeping a mistress..."
"What's wrong with keeping a mistress? You're just too honest. Don't you know that some women will do anything to get ahead?"
"Don't say that." Another person pretended to be polite, but he was exposed in less than half a second -
"But what you said makes sense. I had a female classmate who went to work in a hotel after graduation. I heard that their hotel..."
“Offering special features…!”
The male employee's voice suddenly stopped.
In the mirror, the woman's cold and beautiful face was reflected.
There was no expression on that face at this moment, and the calm gaze fell on the back of his head, but it made his back suddenly feel cold.
The man turned around immediately, obviously not expecting to be caught talking about someone behind their back, and his face turned red and white.
"Secretary Jiang, you, I..."
"I heard everything." Jiang Qin said expressionlessly.
I want to say that I not only heard it, but also recorded it out of habit.
After all, as the general secretary, she has always had a secret job mission, which is to monitor the company's public opinion at all times and serve as Huo Sili's eyes.
In fact, she wanted to listen for a while, but she was so sleepy and hungry that she decided to give up.
I wanted to wash my face quickly and go to the restaurant to pack my lunch, so I walked over.
The Huo's men's and women's restrooms appear symmetrical from the outside, with men on the left and women on the right, but the men's and women's washbasins are connected.
There are four washbasins for men and women, with a large green plant in the middle as a partition. The two men were chatting while washing their hands.
Jiang Qin glanced at the other person who had started the conversation.
Just a glance, then look back and turn on the faucet to wash your face.
The two men next to them looked at each other, what did this mean?
No pursuit? Still, didn’t hear much?
But that’s not right, she just said she heard it all!
Doesn't that mean...
Realizing this, the man who spoke first suddenly became anxious.
But he still forced a smile when he spoke, "Secretary Jiang, don't take it seriously, that's not what I meant."
"I'm just curious. After all, you and Mr. Huo..."
"What with Mr. Huo?"
The person who spoke was not Jiang Qin.
Jiang Qin was a little surprised when she heard the voice. After washing his face, he looked up and saw the person coming. His eyes suddenly widened.
"Mr. Lu? Long time no see."
Lu Xiuyuan, a member of the Lu family, a prominent medical family in Kyoto, is the head of a domestic pharmaceutical group and a good friend of Huo Sili.
He was very respectful to Jiang Qin, so Jiang Qin had a good impression of him.
When she and Huo Sili got their marriage certificate, among Huo Sili's good friends, Lu Xiuyuan was the first to know and the first to congratulate them.
Things like getting a marriage certificate, especially given her situation at the time, and receiving blessings were something she naturally kept in mind.
It had been at least half a year since Jiang Qin last saw Lu Xiuyuan, so she was quite surprised to see him now.
However, he soon realized that Lu Xiuyuan came probably because he had something to discuss and had to come down to see Huo Sili offline.
In fact, it is common for Horsley to go on business trips, so he naturally would not notify everyone when he goes on a business trip.
Lu Xiuyuan probably didn't contact Huo Sili in advance, or he didn't receive a reply, and the matter was urgent, so he came here to try his luck.
"Why don't you speak?"
At this time, after Lu Xiuyuan and Jiang Qin finished their greetings, his slightly cold gaze fell on the two male employees of the Huo company next to them again.
To be able to work in Huo’s, no matter how honest a person is, he or she must have the ability to read people’s expressions.
Lu Xiuyuan's dress and the noble demeanor he exudes are definitely not that of an ordinary person.
The two male employees turned pale immediately.
Thinking of what Lu Xiuyuan had said just now, he thought that since the other party could directly manage the Huo family's people, he must have a close relationship with Huo Sili.
I was just about to say something to save it.
However, she didn't say it. After Lu Xiuyuan appeared, Jiang Qin, who was inexplicably the focus of attention, spoke out.
"According to company rules and regulations, if you talk about a colleague behind his back, you will be charged 100 yuan per minute. If it is less than a minute, it will be counted as one minute. You can recall how long you talked about him behind his back."
When they heard that money would be deducted, the two men's faces suddenly became uglier.
The one who had been in the audience stared at the beginning.
The one who started it was not convinced and wanted to say something.
Jiang Qin turned around and left.
But he stopped after taking only two steps because Lu Xiuyuan called him.
Looking back, Lu Xiuyuan seemed to have washed his hands.
"Secretary Jiang, are we going to the restaurant? Let's go together."
Jiang Qin was a little surprised. Although Lu Xiuyuan respected her, in her impression, he had always been very sensible.
Huo Sili was not around, and according to Lu Xiuyuan's personality, he should have chosen to avoid suspicion, but why did he take the initiative to get close to her?
