Chapter 338 Lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot



"Knock knock knock~"

A knock on the door pulled Lu Wanqing back to reality.

A tall, handsome young man in his early twenties stood at the door and knocked cautiously.

After she turned around, the young man asked with a light laugh:

"Mr. Lu, are you alright? I've come to report on the situation at the security department."

Lu Wanqing beckoned him in.

After he came in, she realized that the young man was over 1.85 meters tall, taller than Lin Ye, and had a very robust build, which was quite disproportionate to his delicate face.

If I had to describe them in one word, they would be what later generations would call "young and handsome men".

This was the first time she had ever heard of such a person in the security department.

After Huo Xiao came in, he quickly introduced himself and then summarized the incident.

It turns out that he had just joined the company a few months ago. He was quite skilled, and the head of the security department valued him highly.

This time, it was he who suggested that more people be sent to guard the inventory.

However, upon learning that the iron gate was almost breached by the rioters, and that it was Lu Wanqing who had managed to stop it, he regretted making that decision and came to apologize.

"I am willing to take responsibility for this incident and guarantee that I will never put President Lu in danger again."

Huo Xiao looked so devout that Lu Wanqing couldn't bring herself to say anything to criticize him.

Anyway, the matter has been resolved satisfactorily, and Yin Ke has been arrested, so there's no need to be too harsh on him.

"Huo Xiao, right? Then you'll stay by my side from now on. Since you're quite skilled, you can come with me on business trips."

Lu Wanqing sat behind her desk, habitually tapping the surface with her hand.

This shows that the decision was made after careful consideration.

In the future, she will be the owner of a garment factory, and she will inevitably be watched by many people. It's always good to have someone by her side to protect her.

Huo Xiao seemed very excited and grinned as he agreed.

"Do I still need to use the security department?" he asked.

Lu Wanqing waved her hand, "You can stay in the office next to mine. I'll be available whenever you call. Also, just wear casual clothes, no need to wear a uniform."

Also, keep an eye on Yin Ke for me during this time.

She didn't want to be recognized as having security guards when she went out.

Huo Xiao left with a smile, heading to the personnel department to ask for an office.

Lu Wanqing then began to look at the list of self-employed individuals that had been brought over earlier.

She always keeps her promises, but she will never allow anyone to take advantage of her.

After carefully reviewing and approving the list, she told Qiu Jianguo to take it away and bring it to him the next time she delivered goods to Abiao.

Although the wholesale store belongs to her and Abiao, the accounts are handled by an independent company, and every transaction is clear and transparent.

She also sent a trusted accountant from the factory to the wholesale store to help Ah Biao manage the accounts.

It's not that I don't trust Ah Biao, it's just that the store's turnover is getting bigger and bigger, and his bookkeeping method is outdated and needs to be taken over by professionals.

After a long and busy day, Lu Wanqing was about to leave work. As she stepped out of the office with her bag, Huo Xiao appeared in front of her as if he had been waiting for her at the door.

"Mr. Lu, it's time to go home. I'll take you home." He had changed into a shirt and jacket, with the collar wide open, giving him a gangster-like look.

Lu Wanqing smiled and told him that he didn't need to follow her after get off work.

"How can that be? So many people have seen you today. What if one of them is resentful and wants to get revenge on you?" Huo Xiao said, puffing out his cheeks.

She acted as if she would be framed if he wasn't around!

There was nothing she could do; the child was stubborn and insisted on coming along, so she could only nod in agreement.

Lu Wanqing rode her bicycle ahead, and he followed behind.

To be honest, it felt quite awkward, and she was also a little worried about being seen by Lin Ye.

Why did she suddenly decide to make him her bodyguard?

Fortunately, the streets were packed with bicycles during rush hour, so I just treated it as a convenient way home from get off work.

But to her utter surprise, when she went out the next day, Huo Xiao was sitting on his bicycle, supporting himself with his feet, staring intently at the gate.

Upon seeing her, he smiled shyly and followed behind her.

"Why are you here again?" Lu Wanqing asked, a little annoyed.

Huo Xiao said nonchalantly:

"Anyway, I live alone and not far away, so I might as well come and escort you to work."

Lu Wanqing took her left hand off the handle and scratched her brow. Was this child too honest, or did she just not understand what she was saying?

"Huo Xiao, I said I'm available whenever you call, not that I need you to protect me all the time. Get away from me right now, or I'll send you back to the security department!"

She had no choice but to make a harsh statement.

This trick worked. Upon hearing it, Huo Xiao rode past her as fast as lightning, as if he were riding on wheels of fire.

Lu Wanqing shook her head and smiled, riding slowly towards the factory.

At this moment, in a residential compound, Yao Na, wearing high heels and carrying an expensive leather bag, was also preparing to leave for work.

She has lived in her grandfather's house ever since he adopted her.

However, Grandpa has many romantic encounters; he might be sleeping somewhere else entirely.

Unexpectedly, just as she opened the door, her grandfather took out his key to open the door and was about to come in.

Before she could react, the old man's cane struck her face with a "smack".

Yao Na retreated back into the house and plopped down on the floor.

As the door closed, her grandfather's cane came crashing down on her head.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Don't hit me!" Yao Na was confused.

Grandpa usually spoils her and always gives in to her requests, so why did he suddenly go crazy today?

"You still have the nerve to beg for mercy, you filthy bitch! You eat my food and drink my water, and you're still out there flirting with other women..."

Her grandfather's barrage of insults made her realize that he probably knew about her philandering.

That shouldn't be the case; she's always very careful.

"I didn't, don't listen to other people's nonsense." The most likely scenario is that someone saw what she did, and since words are not enough, she can completely deny it.

She was moved to tears, and her performance was superb. Thanks to her years of stage experience, she could shed tears at will.

The old man pulled a photograph from his pocket and threw it on the ground, his chest heaving.

"Look at yourself, isn't that you in the photo? You've already been photographed, and you're still trying to deny it!"

When Yao Na picked up the photo, her face turned pale instantly. Wasn't this the photo that was taken at her behest?

However, Han Tao's face was obscured by something inside, so only her face could be seen.

How did the photos end up in his hands?

They really shot themselves in the foot!

Anyone who sees this photo will imagine her kissing a man!

"It's just a matter of perspective. Nothing happened between me and this man, I swear!" Yao Na tried her best to defend herself.

However, the more she tried to explain, the angrier the old man became. He broke her cane and replaced it with a rope.

He only stopped after Yao Na was knocked unconscious.
