To My Dear Mr. Huo

There was deliberation in his voice. He had decided to forget the whole thing

about He Xuanyao setting him up.

Since she was so senseless and adamant about coming for him, he told himself that he was not to be blamed for her approaching unhappiness.

“Okay,” Yang Wenchang said, with his eyes full of excitement. He was about to leave but thought of something else.

“Mr. Huo, there’s something I think I should tell you. It’s about our business cooperation with Ickes.”

“What is it?”

“The cooperation has been going on as planned, but there’s something wrong with signing the contract. It has led to the signing procedure being delayed for a few days.”

Normally, they should have had the contract signed by now.

Besides, considering Huo Yifan’s capability, it made no sense for the case to be dragging on for so long. Now, Yang Wenchang started doubting if something went wrong.

“What’s the problem?”

Huo Jinyao looked at Yang Wenchang and was going to ask him to sort it out, but just then, Yang Wenchang’s phone rang.

Yang Wenchang looked at Huo Jinyao and said, “It’s Micah from Ickes.”

Meeting Huo Jinyao’s eyes, he quickly picked up the phone. He was looking at Huo Jinyao while he put Micah on speaker and talked to him in English.

Huo Jinyao could hear what was being said on the other side very clearly. Micah wanted to meet him?

Yang Wenchang asked him silently with his eyes directed at him. Huo Jinyao shook his head, and Yang Wenchang immediately understood.

He told Micah that Huo Jinyao wouldn’t be available in the next few days. They had to check on Huo Jinyao’s schedule before they could decide on their next meeting.

Yang Wenchang hung up the phone and looked baffled. “Mr. Huo, what do you think Huo Yifan is planning right now?”

He had been working for Huo Jinyao for many years, so he knew for a fact that Huo Yifan targeted Huo Jinyao covertly. As to the reason why Huo Yifan did that, obviously, it was his bitterness at Huo Jinyao being the CEO.

“Don’t mind him. If Micah asks to meet me again, you can agree.”

“Okay,” Yang Wenchang said. “About Huo Yifan——”

“Don’t bother.” As long as Micah did his job, Huo Yifan wouldn’t just sit and wait. When the right time came, Huo Jinyao would know what was in Huo Yifan’s mind.

“Okay.” Yang Wenchang took the documents and planned to leave, but he thought of one last thing. “And, Mr. Huo, one person has passed the interview to substitute Zhang Yang as the temporary secretary. Her name was Ding Qing, a student from T University. She has started today.”

“You deal with those things. You don’t need to let me know.”

Yang Wenchang answered and left. Huo Jinyao became lost in his thoughts.

Huo Yifan had all the means and was a schemer. Even if he couldn’t nail down the cooperation with Ickes within the shortest time, he would not take it so long.

More importantly, there was no way of letting Ickes come back and talk to him. After all, if Huo Yifan did fail the cooperation case, he would end up being embarrassed at Tianyu Group.

Even Huo Mingguang couldn’t stand on Huo Yifan’s side if he failed. Was Huo Yifan really that stupid or did he have other plans?

No matter which one it was, Huo Jinyao was afraid. He needed to respond quickly and cope with the situation effectively.

Huo Jinyao heard a knock on the door and felt displeased. However, the person who had come was Su Qingsang.

It was her first time coming to the headquarters of Tianyu Group in Rong City. If she hadn’t meet Yang Wenchang just now, she would have been unable to come upstairs.

After all, even though she was the wife of the CEO at Tianyu Group, most people only heard her name but never actually saw her.

“Why are you here?” Seeing Su Qingsang, Huo Jinyao stood up and welcomed her.

“Mengwan and I were just shopping and walking around nearby, so I thought I would stop by to come and see you.”

“Um, you didn’t come and visit me on purpose?” Huo Jinyao put his hand on his chest, looking wounded by her words. “Honey, I am hurt.”

Su Qingsnag laughed at the way he looked. She lifted the little box in her hands. “Since you are hurt, I don’t think you can have dessert. I’ll take it out and give it to other people.”

“No way.” His beloved wife had bought it for him. Even if he didn’t love dessert, it couldn’t be given to anyone else.

Huo Jinyao took the box from her hand and put it on the coffee table. “Eh, didn’t you say you came with Su Qingsang? Where is she?”

“She is in the bathroom.”

They were around the area, and she had never seen the place which Huo Jinyao worked at, so she came with Shi Mengwan.

“Good, we can have dinner together.” Today, Huo Jinyao had received Wan Xianyang’s call again. “Xianyang said that he wanted to invite you to dinner.”

“Inviting me is an excuse. He wanted to invite Shi Mengwan, right?”

Su Qingsang blinked. How could she not know what Wan Xianyang was thinking?

“Do you accept the invitation or not?”

“I accept, but he and Shi Mengwan are really impossible.”

Su Qingsang had already asked Shi Mengwan about it. She was clearly not into him.

“Not to mention, she is leaving tomorrow.”

“I have to work and can’t keep her company all day long. She also has work to do in Lin City, so she and Xianyang are highly unlikely.”

When she was speaking, her phone rang. Shi Mengwan was ready and was waiting for her downstairs.

“I am going to leave. We can talk later about Wan Xianyang’s dinner.”

Since they were unlikely to end up together, it was better not to give him any hope.

Just as Su Qingsang was leaving, she pointed at the dessert on the coffee table and suddenly blew a kiss at Huo Jinyao. She snapped out right at the moment she caught his deep-set eyes.

Su Qingsang went out of the office and encountered a beautiful woman on her way to the elevator.

She was gorgeous. She was around five feet seven, tall and slim, with beautiful sidelines and impeccable makeup on her fair face.

She was wearing Gucci high heels and Chanel business suits. Su Qingsang was not familiar with luxury brands…

But she did she see her outfit on the magazine that was available at the spa she had gone to a few days ago.

Su Qingsang blinked. How was it that in Huo Jinyao’s office, there was such a beautiful woman? How incredible was Tianyu Group’s welfare?

She was holding a stack of documents, looking like an elite professional.

Su Qingsang was staring at her. At the same time, the woman was also staring at Su Qingsang.

Su Qingsang was only wearing sweatsuit today since she was hanging out with Shi Mengwan. She looked comfortable and casual.

Su Qingsang didn’t think that she was inferior to that woman, but she didn’t as look official and lacked gravitas.

Su Qingsang felt strange about her thoughts.

It could have been an illusion but strangely, Su Qingsang saw a flash of contempt in that woman’s eyes.

She wanted to see it clearly, but the woman immediately smiled with her lips curved upwards. The woman didn’t speak. Instead, with documents in her arms, she passed her and walked towards Huo Jinyao’s office.

When they passed each other, Su Qingsang heard her whisper, “nice to meet you, Mrs. Huo.”
