110. Does Mr. Huo have a woman?
Xie Yaoyao received another 500,000 yuan, but she still felt a little uneasy.
Although Huo Yanxi was incredibly wealthy, a few hundred thousand was nothing more than a drop in the ocean for him.
But she still couldn't bring herself to take advantage of him without feeling guilty.
She was looking at her account balance, wondering whether she should buy Huo Yanxi a gift to express her gratitude, when her phone suddenly vibrated.
She glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Liang Zhen.
Xie Yaoyao pursed her lips, picked up her phone, walked to the French windows, and answered the call, "What's wrong?"
Liang Zhen's voice sounded urgent, "Yaoyao, let's meet. I have something I want to tell you."
Xie Yaoyao didn't know why Liang Zhen wanted to see her, but she still agreed.
"Okay, tell me the address, I'm free this afternoon."
Liang Zhen seemed relieved. "Okay, let's meet at Starbucks in Victoria Harbour. I'll send you the location in a bit."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Yaoyao turned around, clutching her phone, and saw Huo Zidu standing behind her.
Young Master Huo has been eating and drinking well lately, his face has gotten fuller, and he seems to have grown a few centimeters taller, now almost as tall as Xie Yaoyao.
He crossed his arms. "You're going out again? Xie Yaoyao, my uncle paid a fortune to hire you to teach me. What's with you running around every day? Are you neglecting your duties?"
Xie Yaoyao looked at his annoying capitalist appearance and reached out to ruffle his hair.
"Little brat, I don't have any classes this afternoon, why can't I go out?"
Huo Zidu has been stuck at home taking academic classes lately and is very frustrated. "I want to go out with you."
"no!"
Xie Yaoyao refused him without even thinking; she couldn't take him out.
It's good that nothing happened; if something had, the Huo family would have skinned her alive.
Huo Zidu crossed his arms, looking like a little adult, and said, "Anyway, I don't care, I want to go out and play with you."
Xie Yaoyao raised her phone and threatened, "Fine, then I'll call your uncle. If he agrees, I'll take you there."
"Go ahead and hit me."
Xie Yaoyao gritted her teeth and was lifted up by a little brat. "Fine, I'll fight you. I'm not afraid of you."
As she spoke, she found Huo Yanxi's phone number and mustered up her courage to call him.
When Huo Yanxi's phone vibrated, he was in a low mood, his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone in the conference room.
"Everyone, let me remind you that you are not on the government payroll. You don't just show up at the company today and consider your task done. You will still get paid this month, and the company will still keep you."
“If you are just occupying positions without creating value, the Huo Group will not keep useless people.”
No one dared to breathe loudly.
The project manager, who had just finished speaking, was particularly embarrassed; his face turned bright red, and he wished he could disappear.
Just then, Huo Yanxi's phone rang, and everyone looked at him.
The man, who had just been furious, saw the caller ID, and the coldness in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a gentle smile.
He stood up, his sharp gaze sweeping over everyone. "Today's meeting is over. Each department, submit a two-thousand-word self-criticism. If this kind of basic mistake happens again at the next meeting, you'll have to come back again."
After saying that, he left the conference room like a whirlwind.
Once he left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "We wonder who made that call. They really saved our lives."
"Judging from the way Mr. Huo is smiling so smugly, could the person opposite him be a woman?"
"Does Mr. Huo have a woman?"
Everyone was puzzled, for they all knew that Huo Yanxi was celibate and lived like a celibate Buddhist monk.
When Huo Yanxi first joined the company, a senior leader tried to win him over by giving him a beautiful woman.
To everyone's surprise, Huo Yanxi didn't even glance at her, directly sent the beauty away, and then collected evidence of the high-ranking leader's crimes and handed it over to the police.
From then on, no one dared to send Huo Yanxi women, lest they offend him.
"No way, isn't President Huo a misogynist? Last time, when the Zhang family's daughter faked a fall, President Huo could have easily caught her, but he just stepped aside, letting her fall straight to the ground. It was quite a joke. Everyone said that President Huo is immune to all women, and no woman can get close to him."
“There are always exceptions, right? Let’s bet three cents that the phone call just now wasn’t from a woman.”
"Three cents? If you're any stingier, your horse racing bets will cost more than that."
Hearing their excited chatter, Pei Yan patted the table and said, "I saw the caller ID. How about we bet on afternoon tea? The loser buys afternoon tea for the winner."
With Pei Yan's involvement, everyone agreed.
"Place your bets and don't buy. If you think the person making the call is a woman, stand on the right; if not, stand on the left."
Everyone got up and ran to the right, but a few stubborn people still stood on the left.
Pei Yan waited for everyone to choose their positions and then announced the answer, "My fellow countrymen on the left, I'll be relying on you for afternoon tea these next few days."
The people who chose the wrong spots looked at each other, complaining bitterly.
Pei Yan earned his afternoon tea for a few days, then left with his things, full of pride and satisfaction, his back view concealing his achievements and fame.
Huo Yanxi returned to his office and answered Xie Yaoyao's call, his tone even appearing relaxed and at ease.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing his light voice, Xie Yaoyao was a little confused. "Well, there's something I want your nephew to tell you."
Xie Yaoyao turned on speakerphone and gestured towards Huo Zidu, letting him speak for himself.
On the other end of the phone, Huo Yanxi's face suddenly darkened. "Instead of paying attention in class, do you want to go back to America?"
Huo Zidu pursed his lips. "You don't need to scare me. I'm telling you, Teacher Xie is going on a date with her husband this afternoon, and I'm planning to go with her. So, are you going to let me go or not?"
Xie Yaoyao: "..."
He knows the art of speaking; he clearly wants to be a tagalong.
Now look at her, as if she neglected her duties.
Huo Yanxi's expression immediately darkened; he had forgotten about Liang Zhen.
"I'll give you half a day off this afternoon, so don't cause any trouble for Teacher Xie."
Huo Yanxi said this, but in his heart he was thinking of causing her trouble as soon as possible, and it would be best if she could not go on a date with that Liang Zhen.
Huo Zidu raised an eyebrow at Xie Yaoyao smugly, "See? I told you Uncle would agree to let me go with you."
Xie Yaoyao took back her phone and turned off the speakerphone. "President Huo, I think tutoring requires perseverance. Let Young Master Huo have his tutoring at home."
Huo Yanxi's voice was cold and deep, "Studying also requires a balance between work and rest. I'll leave Huo Zidu in the care of Teacher Xie."
Xie Yaoyao wanted to say something more, but Huo Yanxi had already hung up the phone.
She turned around and saw Huo Zidu's smug look, and couldn't help but press her temples.
Why did he suddenly become so attached to her?
She was having a headache when Xie Ziyu ran over with Doubao, saying, "Mommy, I want to go out and play with you too."
Xie Yaoyao brought Huo Zidu, so there's no reason why she shouldn't bring Xie Ziyu as well.
Since bringing one is the same as bringing two, I might as well bring them all.
