Chapter 25 His Thoughtfulness and Tenderness
Lin Xiaoyu was startled and quickly moved away.
Huo Sili looked past Lin Xiaoyu at Jiang Qin. His handsome face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. When he spoke, his voice was cold and heavy. "There is a problem with the file for Director Wang. He didn't answer the phone and didn't reply to the message. What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Qin's brows furrowed instantly. Although she was in a hurry to go to the hospital yesterday, she had checked the document six times. How could there be a problem?
But he didn't answer the phone, didn't reply the message...
Jiang Qin quickly picked up the phone on the desk and took a look. She realized that she had turned off the notification volume last night in order to turn off the alert sound of Xie Youan's WeChat messages, and she hadn't turned it back on since then.
In addition, she had been concentrating on teaching Lin Xiaoyu new work content, and her cell phone was out of her sight, so she naturally had no idea that Huo Sili called or sent a message.
When Huo Sili came in, Lin Xiaoyu quickly slipped out through the gap and gently closed the door.
He had only been in for two minutes, but the temperature in the president's office seemed to be dropping rapidly due to his cold expression, until it froze.
Jiang Qin stood up and looked at the man who was approaching her with a cold face. Without hesitation, she quickly explained, "I turned off the volume last night and forgot to turn it back on. My phone was placed next to me and I didn't pay attention to it just now. I didn't mean to ignore your call or reply to your message."
Horsley didn't react, his face remained cold.
Jiang Qin didn't care what he thought and continued, "I checked the file six times yesterday. I can guarantee that there will be no problem with the file."
Horsley saw that she was still unmoved by her explanation, and walked towards her without slowing down.
He is nearly 1.9 meters tall and has been exercising all year round, so he is tall, slender, strong and well-proportioned. She is only 1.65 meters tall and just under 1.7 meters with high heels. She is quiet by nature and the only sport she loves is yoga.
At such a close distance, no matter your height or body shape, it would be a lie to say that there is no pressure.
Jiang Qin looked up at Huo Sili and felt a little ridiculously frightened for a moment.
This man used to be her lover, and she always felt absolutely safe around him. But now, she couldn't guarantee what kind of image of her existed in Horsley's heart, or even how he would treat her when he was unhappy.
But if she really made a mistake at work, then she would have no problem admitting it or accepting his scolding.
But she checked the document six times yesterday and it was all fine. Now she is told that there is a problem with the document. How can she believe it?
At this moment, Horsley's hand holding the bag suddenly moved.
After he entered the room, Jiang Qin kept looking at him and did not notice that he was holding a bag in his hand.
Seeing him suddenly make a move, her pupils shrank sharply, her heart suddenly turned cold, and thinking of the child in her belly, she almost instinctively took a big step back to the side and quickly went behind the office chair.
However, the next second, Jiang Qin saw a packaging bag that looked very familiar to her placed on the table by Huo Sili.
It only took Jiang Qin a second to recognize the bag. This was the signature snack from the teahouse that she particularly liked to eat for a while. She really didn't understand it, but she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed for a moment.
Looking at Huo Sili again, Huo Sili's face was not cold, but dark as ink, which reminded Jiang Qin of the charcoal without sparks in the fire basket that she and her grandmother used to keep warm in the countryside in winter when she was a child.
"Why are you hiding?" he asked her.
Jiang Qin wanted to ask, what else could it be? I’m afraid you’ll go crazy and hit someone.
Horsley's second sentence came out: "Do you think I will hit you?"
Jiang Qin stopped talking and thought, isn't this quite self-aware?
But she didn't say anything, but Horsley seemed to be angry with her. He turned and walked into the inner room, and said something coldly with his back to her.
"Come in after snack to deal with the paperwork!"
Jiang Qin's eyes widened a little. She really didn't understand what was wrong with this man today. He had a cold face when he walked in, but he was holding her favorite snacks in his hand.
The packaging bags of the teahouse are very cute, printed with an original cartoon pattern. After Jiang Qin looked at the cartoon character on the bag, she gave up on having snacks at the moment.
Jiang Qin quickly found a few archived documents, carried them into the inner room, looked at Huo Sili, and went straight to the point.
"What exactly went wrong with the document given to Director Wang?"
Horsley looked up at her and motioned for her to go to the printer.
The photocopied document came out, Jiang Qin picked it up and flipped through it quickly. When she scanned the second page, she clearly saw that a value had been changed in just two seconds, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
"This is not the document I gave to President Wang. The numbers on it are wrong. The mistake is too obvious." Jiang Qin walked towards Huo Sili with the incorrect document and said firmly.
Huo Sili took the document and started to look through it. Jiang Qin took out the documents she was holding, opened one of them, turned to the second page, and put it on Huo Sili's desk.
"This is a backup of the original. It's exactly the same. Since we have a lot of cooperation with Wang's, I thought it would be better to be prepared. I printed two copies at once. The document I gave to Mr. Wang should be exactly the same as this one."
"If Mr. Huo doesn't believe me, you can check the work records of the printer outside yesterday."
Horsley picked it up and glanced at it quickly, his expression as cold as winter.
Jiang Qin knew, and he also knew that it was not her fault.
She was about to say something when suddenly, Horsley looked up at her and asked, "Who did you give the document to yesterday?"
Jiang Qin: "The male secretary who accompanied Mr. Wang the entire time during the social event on Saturday was named Zhong."
Huo Sili nodded, his tone calming down, "Okay, I got it. Now print another copy, seal it and send it to Director Wang. Remember, deliver it to Director Wang in person."
Jiang Qin heard this and suddenly understood.
Huo Sili glanced at the time and said, "Go ahead. Let He Xu accompany me to the meeting later. I will explain the matter to Director Wang, and you should also learn from it."
Jiang Qin never thought that the secretary who followed Mr. Wang closely could have any evil intentions, but what Huo Sili said made sense, so she did not refute it.
Large groups are complex and intertwined, and the interpersonal interest relationships within them are indeed not easy for outsiders to see clearly. When superiors fight, subordinates suffer. Of course, maybe Director Wang is also taking the opportunity to clean up his own house.
After thinking it through, Jiang Qin no longer thought it was a big deal and quickly went to do his work.
As it turned out, the situation was just as she had guessed. Director Wang was indeed taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents. When she arrived, Secretary Zhong was no longer by Director Wang's side.
Instead, there was another male secretary whom Jiang Qin had also met on Saturday but whom she did not have a deep impression of.
When he saw her, Director Wang was still very kind and invited her to stay for lunch. However, thinking of Secretary Zhong who had been secretly "eliminated", she declined the offer.
When Jiang Qin returned to Huo's, it was already past midnight because of the traffic jam, so she went straight to the restaurant.
Just as I was picking up my food, a familiar loud voice sounded from behind me.
"Let me tell you, she relies on her face and figure to get to the top. If she can't even deliver a document, what else can she do? This world is really like that. The capable can't beat the pretty."
It’s Liu Wenli.
This person made similar remarks more than once or twice, but Jiang Qin ignored them.
She suddenly wanted to drink lemonade, so she found a seat she liked, put down her tray and went to get it.
She took a fancy to a cup and was about to reach out to take it, but a slender hand took it before her.
Jiang Qin was startled when she smelled the familiar light woody scent. Huo Sili was holding the glass of iced lemonade and looked down at her.
"You can't drink it with ice."
Behind him, Liu Wenli and several secretaries from the Food Department looked over here and their eyes widened immediately.
Liu Wenli winked at everyone around her, her face full of indignation, "Did you see that? Did you see that? She started to seduce Mr. Huo in front of so many people. She is so shameless."
A secretary who was close to her said, "I really can't tell. When you said that before, I didn't believe it. Look at her like that. Isn't she seducing me?"
Both of them spoke in low voices at this time. The restaurant was noisy, and Jiang Qin and Huo Sili were standing far away and did not hear anything.
But at this time, Jiang Qin naturally realized that something was wrong.
She and he are in a secret marriage, and only He Xu in the company knows about her marriage to him. His behavior will only lead others to misunderstand her.
