Huo Jincheng's cold gaze swept over, and the people behind him immediately fell silent, lowering their heads and daring not to make a sound.
His Daughter-in-law could only smile at him; absolutely no one else was allowed to smile!
Huo Jincheng estimated that the situation inside was about right, so he pushed the door open at that moment.
The group of secretaries from the Board of Directors were about to confront Jian Yunong when they suddenly saw Huo Jincheng enter. Instantly, they all adopted a pitiful demeanor, each putting on a face that looked like they were about to cry.
"What’s going on?"
Huo Jincheng's voice was deep, and just a gentle remark carried immense authority.
Everyone knew that Huo Jincheng appeared very unapproachable and was someone who had very strict work standards. Someone stepped forward, wanting to report Jian Yunong's situation.
Huo Jincheng's icy voice rang out, "Have you all thrown your professional ethics to the dogs? Look at what you all look like. If I hadn't come in suddenly, I wouldn't have known you were in this state at work. Go to Financial and collect this month's salary, then leave."
Everyone present was stunned. Why were they being fired when it was clearly Jian Yunong's fault?
One brave soul spoke up, "Mr. Huo... this is because of Jian Yunong..."
But at that moment, Huo Jincheng wrapped his arm around Jian Yunong's waist and gently kissed her cheek. "If someone bullies you, just call me. You don’t need to handle it yourself."
The cold man switched to a gentle tone with Jian Yunong, affectionate and indulgent.
Jian Yunong slightly shrank her neck, feeling a bit uncomfortable being with Huo Jincheng in such an occasion. Wasn't he always clear about separating work from personal matters? The first time they met at Dynasty, Jian Yunong had witnessed how terrifyingly strict this man could be.
"Find someone to clean this place. Also... them." Huo Jincheng's tone was extremely flat, his emotionless gaze sweeping over them. "Have security take them away."
There was clearly no hint of disdain in his tone, yet each of them felt utterly scorned.
Lost this job...
What big hotel can I work as a secretary in the future?
It's impossible!
Most of the high-end hotels in A City have already been acquired by Huo Jincheng.
Jian Yunong entered the chairman's office for the first time, which was twice the size of the entire Public Relations Department.
Sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the whole city seemed to be crawling beneath her feet.
She felt a bit dazed.
Huo Jincheng hugged her from behind, "In the future, I will develop this area into a CBD. I bought Dynasty not just to run this hotel. Do you like this feeling? Everything is beneath your feet; you look down on everything and have control over it..."
Jian Yunong was very obedient in his arms, quiet to the point of being abnormal. After a while, she weakly said, "I think I'm a bit dizzy... my legs feel a bit weak... can you carry me out of here... I can't walk anymore."
Huo Jincheng: "..."
He thought she liked this feeling, but it turned out... he overestimated her!
After being carried to the sofa, Jian Yunong felt as if she had returned from hell to the real world.
Her small face was pale, and Huo Jincheng held her in his arms, gently stroking her back. He picked up the phone on the table and instructed his assistant to bring in a glass of water.
"Please enjoy."
"Thank you."
Jian Yunong thanked him, and Huo Jincheng let out a light snort. The assistant laughed awkwardly, "I just did it as a small favor; it was all Mr. Huo's instructions."
The assistant quickly closed the door and left, fearing that if he stayed any longer, he would become collateral damage in his boss's gaze.
"Don't you want to thank me?" Huo Jincheng said unhappily, sliding his finger across Jian Yunong's nose.
"Thank you... for making my acrophobia act up there?" Jian Yunong couldn't help but complain. If he hadn't suddenly hugged her from behind, she wouldn't have been standing there too scared to move.
Huo Jincheng gritted his teeth, "It's my fault, all my fault. Is that enough?"
Jian Yunong remained silent, delicately sipping her tea before softly saying, "Thank you."
"Thank me for what? Wasn't it me who triggered your acrophobia?"
Huo Jincheng leaned back against the chair, raising his chin arrogantly as he looked at Jian Yunong, clearly displeased.
"Thank you... for helping me just now."
Jian Yunong felt a warmth in her heart. She knew nothing about this hotel job and often got bullied. She didn't dare tell Mist Shenshen, fearing that Mist Shenshen would think less of her.
"I actually thought you might scold me..."
Jian Yunong raised her eyebrows slightly, "Thank you for not firing me."
"Fire you?" Huo Jincheng lifted Jian Yunong's face, forcing her to look at him. "You are my wife; of course, I will stand by you."
"You are so fierce..."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Huo Jincheng's expression turned dangerous. "Am I fierce to you?"
She probably has never seen what he looks like when he gets really fierce.
"That's not... I mean, you have your standards. Helping me like this isn't right," he said. He is the leader of the company; how can management be good if he protects his own?
Jian Yunong, although a rookie, understood this principle.
Feeling grateful towards Huo Jincheng was one thing, but she was more worried about him.
"This is my company. I can do whatever I want. Can’t I decide who to use? What’s the point of having a company like this?"
This man was truly overwhelmingly assertive.
"But is just saying thank you enough? Hmm?" Huo Jincheng's voice grew closer, his breath brushing against her cheek. Jian Yunong realized she had been sitting in his lap the whole time and had no way to escape.
"You... you can't do this... this is office... harassment!"
Jian Yunong blurted out, prompting Huo Jincheng to chuckle softly. "Did your aunt not tell you that this is part of the job when she sent you here?"
Jian Yunong: "..."
Huo Jincheng leaned in for a kiss, and Jian Yunong found herself unable to escape, having to passively endure it.
"But..."
As the deep kiss ended, Jian Yunong's face turned red. "But I'm here to work. If you keep doing this, it will affect my job."
Jian Yunong felt deeply that her aunt had set her up.
She couldn't understand why her aunt treated her this way.
She was really afraid of Huo Jincheng. He always hugged her and kissed her without warning.
Huo Jincheng rested his chin on Jian Yunong's shoulder, rubbing his face against her cheek, and whispered, "Your job is me. Be good, okay?"
Huo Jincheng placed her on the sofa and sat down behind the desk.
How could Jian Yunong sit quietly here? Huo Jincheng was busy, and she felt guilty just sitting there like a lord as a little secretary.
Just as Jian Yunong stood up, Huo Jincheng's cold voice rang out, "Where are you going?"
Wasn't he focused on his work? He was so serious about it that she had already lowered her voice, so how did he notice?
"I want to..."
"Sit down."
"Why..."
"What good thing will you do?"
Huo Jincheng glanced at her, and Jian Yunong immediately showed her displeasure. "So sitting here watching you work is a good thing?"
"Yes, it means you're being good by keeping me company while I work."
"But I'm here to learn things; I'm here to work." Jian Yunong protested. Did he really need her to keep him company while working? She was clearly just sitting here doing nothing.
Even if he needed any information, he would just instruct the assistant outside to come in.
"I feel like I'm just a decoration." Jian Yunong fidgeted with her hands. "Aren't you the one who hates supporting useless people the most?"
"Do you think you look like a vase?" Huo Jincheng quickly scanned her from head to toe.
Jian Yunong: "..."
This meant she wasn't pretty enough to be a vase.
"You are Mrs. Huo; you don't have to do anything."
Huo Jincheng stood up, tossing the report aside, and ruffled Jian Yunong's hair. "Do you want to sleep or play on the tablet?"
Jian Yunong clenched her fists. "What if we get divorced in the future? By then, I'll be older, still won't know anything, and no man will want me. I won't even be able to support myself..."
The more she thought about it, the more pitiful she felt.
Jian Yunong was almost in tears.
She wasn't as capable as Mist Shenshen; she didn't have such a sharp mind, and she couldn't always rely on her aunt.
Huo Jincheng was treating her like a useless person!
"It won't happen." Huo Jincheng's eyes gradually filled with coldness, and his cool lips landed on Jian Yunong's. "We won't get divorced. Mrs. Huo, do you think I would let you find another man?"
Jian Yunong remained silent.
How long could a man's affection last?
He was interested in her now, so of course he would say that.
On her first day at the Secretariat, Jian Yunong had been so bored on the sofa that she fell asleep.
After work, Jian Yunong excused herself to go to the restroom, letting Huo Jincheng leave first.
Huo Jincheng's car was waiting for her at the hotel entrance.
After waiting for five minutes, Huo Jincheng, sitting in the car, finally saw the tardy Jian Yunong.
This was the peak time for people leaving the hotel.
The assistant got out of the car and was about to open the door for Jian Yunong when she suddenly turned on her heel, as if she couldn't see Huo Jincheng's car at all, and walked towards the Subway Station.
"Look, isn't that Mr. Huo's car?"
"It looks like he's waiting for someone. Who could it be? It seems so happy!"
Happy? The female protagonist of this situation, Jian Yunong, really wanted to tell those two chatting colleagues that it was not happy at all!
Just as she was about to enter the Subway Station, Jian Yunong's phone rang.
"Hello..."
"Where are you? I'm still waiting for you!"
Huo Jincheng's voice sounded quite displeased.
Who asked him to wait? Still in such a conspicuous place!
Jian Yunong chuckled awkwardly three times, "I forgot! Sorry, I've already gotten on the subway. Why don't you just take your car? I might get home before you do. There might be traffic, so take your time."
Jian Yunong hung up the phone, feeling quite impressed with her own cleverness.
She hurriedly entered the subway, surrounded by a crowded mass of people, feeling like a sardine in a can.
Suddenly, she felt a hand seemingly touching her...
Jian Yunong instinctively wanted to move away, but her strength was too small; in this crowded carriage, she couldn't budge an inch.
She was about to cry!
"Make way!"
Huo Jincheng's voice was like a divine presence, appearing in her ear and guiding her to a safe corner.
"Is crying all you can do? Hmm?"
Huo Jincheng's tone was very cold.
Jian Yunong stared at him blankly, "Why are you here?"
