Xue Chen covered his injured heart and spoke weakly.
"Look at your tone! I'm here to give you good news, and you're talking to me like that!"
Huo Beiting had long been accustomed to Xue Chen's acting talent, and continued to watch him perform without being moved at all.
I was standing on the stage performing, but the audience below didn't react at all. After a long time, the actors themselves lost motivation.
He put away his playful smile and placed the piece of paper in front of Huo Beiting with a serious face.
"Didn't Cheng Zijue call me a few days ago and say that there's an assistant named Lu Dong at Gu Mingche's place who wants to work with him? Maybe there hasn't been any movement from Cheng Zijue, so he called me again today."
Huo Beiting raised his eyebrows slightly and took the piece of paper. There was a long list of names on it. Although he couldn't understand it very well, Huo Beiting was not in a hurry at all. He knew that Xue Chen would tell him sooner or later.
"Lu Dong wants to work with us to bring down Gu Mingche. To show her sincerity, she directly mentioned several people that Gu Mingche has planted in various companies. You should be familiar with several of them. Our company is okay, there are only three, and those three people are not in very high positions. But over at Yan's... I know of five or six, and there are some I don't know."
Huo Beiting's originally leisurely expression suddenly became tense, and he looked at the paper seriously.
He was not particularly familiar with most of the people above him. He had only heard of a few of them occasionally from Yan Qing's mouth. He remembered that the people Yan Qing mentioned held quite high positions.
If what Lu Dong said was true, then Gu Mingche was really capable. He was able to arrange so many spies in Yan's without making a sound, and there were even people in his own company.
"Have you investigated?"
Huo Beiting remembered those people in his mind, then put down the paper calmly, as if what had just happened was just a trivial matter.
But little do they know that if this happened to someone else, knowing that there were so many obstacles arranged by others in their company, they would probably go crazy.
At this moment, Xue Chen secretly admired Huo Beiting's good composure in his heart.
Just now when he received the call and heard the news, he couldn't help but feel excited.
He thought he was a person with relatively good self-control, but compared with Huo Beiting, he was still far behind.
"Not yet, but I think what Lu Dong said is true. Let's not talk about the situation at Yan's for now. I don't know much about it. But regarding these few people in our company, when you asked me to check the situation at Yan's, they behaved a little strangely. That's why I didn't promote them even though they have outstanding abilities."
Huo Beiting nodded and placed the paper in front of Xue Chen.
"We still need to investigate first. If what Lu Dong said is true... having someone like him who can help us all the time is a good choice. But we must investigate it thoroughly. This matter is very serious."
Xue Chen nodded. He understood, so after hanging up the phone, he went to Huo Beiting's office to tell him about this matter.
"By the way, let's investigate why Lu Dong and Hui have such a strong hatred for Gu Mingche. Logically, they are just an employer-employee relationship. What happened to make Lu Dong act like this? Be careful that Gu Mingche doesn't abandon his position to save his boss, otherwise we will lose more."
Xue Chen nodded and told Huo Beiting the reason Lu Dong gave on the phone.
"Lu Dong said that Gu Mingche was hurting the person she loved. If she wasn't lying, then this reason would make sense. If it were me, and the person I loved was hurt by someone else, and I didn't have the ability to deal with him, I would also choose this method."
Huo Beiting thought about it and was still a little worried about letting Xue Chen investigate Lu Dong's situation.
His gaze returned to Lu Dong.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Dong looked around carefully. Mei Yu found something wrong, so he breathed a sigh of relief, put away his phone and prepared to go downstairs to eat.
But when she went downstairs, she found that Xu Guang was actually standing at the stairs. She didn't know how long he had been standing there, and whether he had heard what she had just said on the phone.
Lu Dong greeted Xu Guang stiffly.
"Assistant Xu, it's so late, why haven't you gone to eat yet?"
Xu Guang shook the document in his hand and said.
"Boss Gu asked me to come up and get a document."
Hearing this, Lu Dong breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that even if Xu Guang had come a long time ago, he should still be in the office. The office was far away from here and was soundproofed, so he should not have heard her call.
"Is that so? Then Assistant Xu, take the documents and go downstairs to eat! It's getting late, and I'm going over too."
Lu Dong was about to leave, but just as he passed by Xu Guang, he was grabbed by the wrist.
"But... I just heard you talking to someone on the phone after I got the documents... Why did you do this? Is it really for the person you love like you said?"
Lu Dong turned his head stiffly and opened his mouth several times but couldn't say a word.
"Who do you love? Me?"
Xu Guang said the last three words very softly, so softly that if Lu Dong and Xu Guang were not very close, she probably would not have been able to hear what Xu Guang said in the end.
Lu Dong's little thoughts were completely exposed in front of Xu Guang. She was a little embarrassed and scared, but more worried.
She was worried that Xu Guang would dislike her, worried that Xu Guang would despise her, and worried that Xu Guang would tell Gu Mingche about the content of her phone call.
In just one second, Lu Dong thought a lot, and soon her face turned pale, frighteningly pale.
"What's wrong with you? I'm not going to eat you."
As Xu Guang spoke, he held Lu Dong in his arms and slowly patted Lu Dong's back as if he was coaxing a child.
Lu Dong was completely stunned. She never expected that Xu Guang would hug her!
Lu Dong's body was pressed tightly against Xu Guang's, her expression dull, as if she was no longer herself.
"Actually, I like you a little bit. After listening to your phone call, I found that I like you even more. But you also saw that I am afraid I can't give you happiness right now, so are you willing to wait for me?"
Xu Guang said quietly.
Lu Dong never dared to imagine that Xu Guang would actually like her. He was such an outstanding person, but she was very ordinary, so ordinary that if you threw her into the street, you could grab a lot of her.
Xu Guang saw what Lu Dong was thinking, so he continued.
"Don't think too much. You're actually very good and bold. I like your attentiveness and your boldness. I see many different aspects of you. Would you like to give me a chance to explore them?"
