Chapter 99: Great fear and despair overwhelmed her
Horsley said nothing.
One second, two seconds, Jiang Qin frowned, shook his head slightly and walked over.
But just as he approached and before he could touch the phone, Huo Sili took it first.
Then, Jiang Qin met the man's extremely dark eyes.
"It's my brother calling." Huo Sili's voice sounded quite indifferent.
Although his tone was calm, Jiang Qin was really confused by Huo Sili's words.
Who is he talking about? My brother's phone call...
Jiang Qin was already very sleepy, and for a moment she couldn't think straight.
Huo Sili’s elder brother, oh, Huo Chishen.
No... Huo Chi Shen! ?
Jiang Qin opened her eyes wide.
But just as she was about to say something, Horsley opened his mouth to stop her from saying anything.
"Aren't you two unfamiliar with each other? What time is it now? Did you often talk on the phone at night during the week I was away on business?"
Jiang Qin frowned.
But I was too sleepy and really didn't want to argue with him.
"Hang up now." Jiang Qin's voice became even colder.
To be exact, I am totally exhausted.
After saying that, Jiang Qin walked over Huo Sili and sat on the bed, lifted the quilt she had prepared in advance, and lay down in the quilt.
The set of movements can be described as flowing like water.
Huo Sili raised his eyebrows slightly, obviously a little surprised.
"Jiang Qin," he called softly, "Is he really dead?"
Jiang Qin had no time to pay attention to him. After a day of wandering outside, he wasn't tired, but she was really tired.
Jiang Qin closed her eyes and no longer cared about what was happening under the bed.
Huo Sili glanced at Jiang Qin, then looked at the word "Big Brother" that was lit on the screen of the mobile phone in his hand.
Beep, then he pressed his slender fingers hard and hung up.
Leaning over to look at the person on the bed, Jiang Qin was already asleep with her eyes closed.
Huo Sili raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his black pupils.
She had never been one to fall asleep easily.
On the contrary, in his impression, she had always had some difficulty falling asleep.
Because of this, he also specialized in studying foods that nourish the heart and calm the nerves at that time.
Those foods were included in the loving breakfast I made for her.
So, is she really asleep now, or...
Thinking of something, Huo Sili's expression couldn't help but feel a little cold. Or was he afraid, or trying to escape?
"Jiang Qin." Huo Sili called again, this time with a cold voice.
But Jiang Qin had really fallen asleep, so naturally she couldn't give him any response.
After waiting for a few seconds, Jiang Qin showed no reaction, not even her breathing changed.
Huo Sili seemed to finally believe that Jiang Qin was really asleep, and the coldness on his face disappeared.
However, he still kept looking at Jiang Qin.
After staring at Jiang Qin for a long while, Huo Sili finally seemed to react.
Da, da, I turned off the main lights in the room and turned on the bedside lamp on my side.
She took the spare clothes she had just taken out and tiptoed out.
…
In a blink of an eye, it's Tuesday.
Because of the anniversary celebration, all the employees of Huo’s company are not working today, but are preparing for the annual celebration activities which will start at 5 pm and end at 10 pm.
On the one hand, it is for fun, and on the other hand, the annual celebration has a very positive meaning for the Huo family. It is a great opportunity to invite partners to the Huo family and enhance the cooperative friendship between the two parties, and the effect has been good in the past.
Therefore, for this year's anniversary celebration, Huo's, like in previous years, invited many representatives of partner companies, executives, cooperating artist anchors, industry leaders, well-known scholars, etc. who have reached cooperation with Huo's to attend the annual celebration.
With so many people coming, reception arrangements are naturally necessary.
However, what really surprised Jiang Qin was that in the past she would be assigned to pick up one or two key figures, but this time, Huo Sili assigned all the work to He Xu and asked her to just stay in the office.
Perhaps it was because the surprise in her eyes was too strong that Horsley explained before she asked.
"Tonight's event won't end until 10 o'clock. As the chief secretary, you can't leave early tonight. Didn't the doctor tell you to get more sleep? Now that you have time, go get some sleep."
Jiang Qin hadn't really thought of this, and after hearing this, she suddenly felt annoyed.
But it also reminded her of one thing quickly, which was——
"When will the new colleagues be recruited? Are you recruiting? When you said 'let's talk about it later' before, it shouldn't be perfunctory to me, right?"
Recently, apart from accompanying the old lady for acupuncture, Jiang Qin has been basically thinking about and planning her future life abroad.
If Huo Sili hadn't said that just now, Jiang Qin would have really forgotten about the new colleague in the general secretary position.
After Jiang Qin finished speaking, she looked at Huo Sili and saw that there was no expression on the man's face.
She raised an eyebrow slightly, "Hmm?"
And maybe she saw it wrongly, but for a moment, Huo Sili, who was sitting in the boss chair, seemed to show some discomfort on his handsome face: "…I haven't recruited anyone yet. I'm recruiting."
Jiang Qin was skeptical, but for the time being she didn't know whether what Huo Sili said was true or not, so she nodded.
For the time being, she assumed that he had not lied to her, "That's fine."
After all, it is not easy to recruit a suitable person for the position of chief secretary.
Huo Sili nodded, and Jiang Qin was about to go back to the outer room. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and there were still two hours before the annual celebration.
Jiang Qin planned to use this time to review a batch of paper documents that were due tomorrow. After all, she planned to go to the embassy tomorrow to submit her visa application materials. If she finished reviewing them now, she could leave earlier tomorrow.
But just as he was about to walk out, Horsley suddenly stood up behind him.
Hearing his footsteps, Jiang Qin stopped immediately.
The reason is simple: she is now very afraid of being accidentally bumped into.
Jiang Qin walked aside to make way for Huo Sili.
Then she saw Horsley walk quickly past her and head straight for the outer door with rapid steps.
The door to the president's office was opened and a gust of cold wind blew in.
The door slammed against the wall with such force that the man couldn't even close it.
There was a hint of surprise in Jiang Qin's eyes.
Thump thump! Thump thump! …
The phone vibrated several times. Jiang Qin picked it up and looked at it, her pupils shrank.
#The popular young actress Li Xueqian had a car accident# ↑
My best friend Su Lejia sent me a message, and the top message was a share of the hot news mentioned above.
Below was a voice message from Su Lejia. Jiang Qin put on her headphones and clicked it.
"I said there will be retribution for being a mistress!" Su Lejia said in a happy tone.
"Qinqin, Qinqin, have you seen this news? Look at the one I sent you!"
"Look at the paparazzi photos, it's so tragic, it looks like an arm is broken, it's really retribution in this life, evil deeds will be punished by heaven! Really, I was feeling sleepy in the afternoon, now I see he's alert! Cool!"
Jiang Qin pursed her lips slightly and glanced at the president's office door which was still open.
He went over, closed the door, and sat back in his workstation.
Su Lejia was obviously really happy and posted a few more messages.
Jiang Qin heard everything, but she felt strange. She didn't feel happy at all when Li Xueqin got into a car accident.
Not at all.
Jiang Qin replied to Su Lejia and picked up the pen to concentrate on his work.
Half an hour, an hour, an hour and a half...
As the anniversary celebration was about to begin, Lin Xiaoyu called to remind her, and Jiang Qin finally reacted.
"Okay, I got it. I'll be right there."
After closing the pen, Jiang Qin stood up and headed to the commercial banquet hall on the eighth floor where Huo’s large-scale events were held.
But who would have thought that when I opened the door, I would suddenly bump into a strange man with a fat face.
Jiang Qin's pupils shrank sharply, and she subconsciously wanted to close the door. In broad daylight, she was attacked by great force and medicinal powder at the same time.
Bang——! !
The door was knocked open, and Jiang Qinqiang managed to steady himself so as not to fall, his eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? This is Huo!..."
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Qin felt an extremely strong sense of dizziness and her vision went dark.
The huge fear and despair that followed overwhelmed her, and suddenly, Jiang Qin lost all consciousness.
