Chapter 8: President Huo is on a date!!!
Xie Qing looked at Huo Yunting at work and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
No wonder I've set my sights on him; he's incredibly charming when he's focused on his work.
Xie Qing sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
But only Huo Yunting himself knew whether he was serious or not.
Ten minutes have passed since I started working, and in those ten minutes, I haven't been able to read a single word of the document in front of me.
My brain felt like it had been coated with Xie Qing's sweet talk, and I couldn't get it working no matter what I did.
Coupled with the other party's intense gaze, he felt even more uneasy.
She wanted to tell him to look away, but deep down she wished that the intense gaze could linger a little longer.
This conflicting feeling made him unable to concentrate on his work at all, and he just sat in his office chair lost in thought.
He felt a little annoyed that he was so easily swayed by others.
Huo Yunting didn't know how long he had been thinking when he suddenly realized that the gaze that should have been on him had disappeared for a while.
Why aren't you watching anymore? Huo Yunting asked, puzzled.
He picked up a document, pretending to read it carefully, but actually glanced at Xie Qing out of the corner of his eye.
He discovered that the person who had been disturbing his peace of mind was lying on the sofa, fast asleep, completely oblivious to everything!
Yes, she really fell asleep!
Huo Yunting felt indignant, as if he had been made a fool of. He put down the documents in his hand, got up, and walked to the sofa.
Xie Qing lay on the sofa, breathing steadily, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if he were having a sweet dream. The room lights shone on him, making him look like a glowing porcelain doll.
I hadn't seen her for a month. Her skin was fair, her hair was shorter, revealing her beautiful eyebrows and eyes. She was stunningly beautiful.
Looking at Xie Qing's sleeping face, Huo Yunting's anger inexplicably died down.
Xie Qing seemed to feel uncomfortable, so she turned over, revealing her fair waist.
Huo Yunting's gaze fell on Xie Qing's fair waist, and another kind of 'fire' rose up, his eyes becoming somewhat fiery.
Realizing his own desire for Xie Qing, Huo Yunting forced himself to look away.
After a while, he sighed helplessly and finally pulled Xie Qing's clothes down a bit to prevent her from being exposed.
Just then, his hand inadvertently touched Xie Qing's waist, and a chill ran through him, causing him to frown.
Although it is summer, the air feels a bit cold because the indoor air conditioning is set too low.
Huo Yunting carried Xie Qing into the lounge, gently placed him on the bed, and covered him with a thin blanket.
Next, he turned on the air conditioner in the lounge and adjusted it to a comfortable temperature to ensure Xie Qing wouldn't catch a cold. After doing all this, he slowly left the lounge and gently closed the door.
Huo Yunting sat back in his office chair and began his afternoon work.
If Huo Yunting's good friend Qi Xian saw this scene, he would definitely roll his eyes and say sarcastically: "Fine, fine, back when I slept here, you didn't care if I was cold, and you even complained that I took up space. You really are my 'good brother' -`д′-."
...
'Boom dong dong'
When the knocking sounded, Huo Yunting simply said "Come in" without even looking up, and continued working on his tasks.
Chu Luo walked in, holding a document in her hand. "Boss, there's a document here that needs your signature."
He glanced around out of the corner of his eye but didn't see Xie Qing anywhere. Had she left? No way!
"Okay, put it here. Also, make sure the door closes quietly," Huo Yunting said.
Chu Luo was taken aback. Could it be that he opened the door too loudly and disturbed the boss?
Huo Yunting looked up and saw Chu Luo still standing there, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Chu Luo immediately snapped out of her daze and said, "Boss, the Gu Group sent someone to ask how you've decided on the cooperation."
Huo Yunting recently bought a piece of land in Nancheng. This land has great commercial value, and many developers are vying to cooperate with Huo's Group in order to get a share of the profits. Gu's Group is one of them.
It must be said that Gu's Group is indeed quite good at development, and the two groups have cooperated in this area before.
If we're talking about cooperation, the Gu family is undoubtedly a great choice.
But Huo Yunting was inexplicably annoyed, and the thought of Xie Qing's unwavering devotion to Gu Yan made him even more annoyed.
Although he guessed that the Xie Qing of today and the Xie Qing of the past might not be the same person, he ultimately had no concrete evidence to prove it.
"Tell the Gu family to give up another 10% discount, or there's no point in talking."
Huo Yunting's voice was cold and extremely oppressive.
Upon hearing this, Chu Luo wondered what the Gu family had done recently to offend the boss.
Chu Luo had read Gu's tender documents, which stated that the profit sharing was 60% for Huo, 40% for Gu, and the majority for Huo.
If the profit margin is reduced by another 10%, the Huo family will take 70%, while the Gu Group will only get 30% of the profit.
Don't underestimate this 10%; it could be hundreds of millions or even billions.
The boss is indeed a capitalist; he immediately asked for 10%.
Chu Luo nodded, without questioning Huo Yunting's decision, "Okay, boss."
Just as Chu Luo was about to leave, the sound of the door opening came from inside the room, and then he saw Xie Qing, who was still sleepy-eyed.
Oh my god! Oh my god!! What did I just see?!
He actually came out of the boss's lounge. You know, the boss never lets anyone into his private space. Even when Young Master Qi came to play, he never went in.
Huo Yunting glanced at Chu Luo and gestured for him to leave.
Chu Luo understood instantly and quickly left.
Xie rubbed his eyes and saw what appeared to be a person standing in front of his desk, but before he could see their face clearly, the person darted away as if being chased by a ghost.
Xie Qing: ? ? ?
Huo Yunting asked, "Are you awake?"
Xie Qing smiled and walked towards Huo Yunting, saying, "You're the one who carried me inside."
Huo Yunting: "You sleepwalked in there."
Xie raised an eyebrow. "You mean I sleepwalked into your lounge, then found a blanket to cover myself with, and finally knew to turn on the air conditioner and adjust the temperature?"
"Hmm." Huo Yunting nodded seriously, seemingly agreeing with this statement.
Xie Qing had a 'Do you think I believe you?' look on her face, glancing at the clock on the wall out of the corner of her eye; it was almost five o'clock.
"Sigh, I was hoping to have a candlelight dinner with you," Xie Qing said with regret. "But that might not be possible now, I have to go to the company."
Xie Qing was woken up by his phone vibrating. Sister Ting called him, asking him to go to [Infinite Entertainment] to sign a variety show contract, and there were some other things she needed to tell him.
Huo Yunting paused for a moment while typing, then closed the computer.
Huo Yunting stood up. "Let's go."
Xie Qing: "?"
Xie Qing: "You...you mean you agree to have a candlelight dinner with me?!"
Xie Qing was shocked. He hadn't expected Huo Yunting to agree when he said those words!
No, he really agreed, Xie Qing thought. Maybe she should tell Sister Ting that they should go tomorrow.
Xie Qing even started thinking about what kind of reason he should come up with to reasonably 'stand up' Sister Ting.
Huo Yunting lifted his eyelids. "You're overthinking it. It's five o'clock. I'm off work. I'll give you a ride there."
Xie Qing: He knew it! (|||?︵?.)
But that works too. When pursuing someone, you can't rush things.
...
"Mr. Huo... Hello, Mr. Huo."
Inside the elevator, an employee stammered a greeting to his immediate supervisor.
Huo Yunting nodded and reached out to press the button for the basement level.
The employee stood in the corner of the elevator, even though the elevator was quite spacious and there were only three people inside.
Xie Qing observed that the employee's legs seemed to be trembling slightly, and he was sweating.
'Ding'
The elevator stopped, and the employee darted out. The employees who were about to get on the elevator, upon seeing that it was their CEO Huo inside, all retracted their steps.
"Mr. Huo, please go first. There are too many of us, it's too crowded."
As soon as the elevator doors closed, the employees outside breathed a sigh of relief.
LOL, who wants to hang out with their boss all the time, especially someone who just got scolded in a meeting this morning?
Suddenly, a weak, questioning voice sounded, "Why is President Huo coming down at this hour? Doesn't President Huo usually work overtime until nine o'clock at night before going home?"
The others were taken aback, but then they realized what was happening.
"Yeah, when has President Huo ever left work on time? Did the sun rise in the west today?!"
"Do you think President Huo might be going on a date? The person who delivered flowers to President Huo at noon today was also on board."
"Yes, that's possible."
"I have to say, Mr. Huo's girlfriend is really good-looking; they're a perfect match."
"..."
The employees were discussing it enthusiastically, and soon the news that "President Huo went on a date with his girlfriend after get off work" swept through the entire company like a tornado, with some even shipping them as a couple.
