Jian Yunong made this kind of mistake when she first arrived. At that time, she was poked on the head ten times by Mist Shenshen, who almost warned her by pulling her ear that details determine success or failure.
Last night, she confirmed everything over and over again before submitting it, not daring to overlook even a single punctuation mark.
But why did such a big oversight occur?
"That's not... I clearly..."
"Enough, explanations are just excuses. Incompetent people always have various justifications."
Linda did not want to waste time on such matters.
"This is a problem discovered by the Chairman, and it was brought up in the Board of Directors meeting."
She shot a cold glance at Jian Yunong.
"This time, it's really over!"
"I heard that there is a very formidable person on the Board of Directors this time. Previously, someone was fired for not handling a detail properly, even though they were hired at a high salary by our hotel as a Senior Manager."
"If you get fired this time, you'll never be able to work in the hotel industry again. The entire industry will not welcome someone who has been fired for making such a mistake."
Jian Yunong followed Linda into the elevator.
Linda secretly observed Jian Yunong and noticed that she surprisingly showed no signs of fear or panic.
Did she really think that Huo Jincheng could protect her?
That was truly naive.
With that person around, no one could protect Jian Yunong.
The office door was knocked on.
"Come in."
A stern female voice came from inside.
Jian Yunong lowered her head and walked in.
"I'm sorry, I submitted it at ten o'clock last night. It was too rushed."
She explained with her head down, not holding out much hope, especially regarding Huo Jincheng.
A helpless sigh came from above her.
"What can I say to you? Both of you are staying in a hotel instead of going home. He is a man; it's only right for him to handle these business matters. What are you, a pregnant woman, doing getting so involved?"
Jian Yunong looked up in surprise, not expecting to see Huo's mother sitting in Huo Jincheng's place, while Huo Jincheng stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his tall figure silhouetted against the light.
"How can I possibly say anything good about you? Is the Huo Family going bankrupt? You, a pregnant woman, are so busy! Still working overtime at ten o'clock! None of you are reliable! Dinner at the old house tonight!"
Huo Mother threw a fit and stormed out.
Jian Yunong felt as if all her strength had drained away, and she sank onto the sofa.
"Do you feel relieved?"
Huo Jincheng walked in front of Jian Yunong, his handsome features carrying an icy demeanor. Jian Yunong had no energy to deal with him and nodded absentmindedly.
"Our accounts are not settled yet."
"Yes."
Jian Yunong almost forgot, "How could you take my things without my permission? How could you not even say a word?"
She was going crazy; this man still had that expression as if he were in the right.
Huo Jincheng suddenly closed in, trapping Jian Yunong between the sofa and his chest.
His cold gaze was profound.
"I ask you, where is the marriage certificate?"
"In the dormitory, leaning against the table..."
Jian Yunong was suddenly pierced by the coldness in his eyes, leaving her speechless.
Huo Jincheng looked a bit scary like this.
"I didn't let anyone know that we got married!" Jian Yunong replied weakly.
The anger in Huo Jincheng's eyes churned.
Being looked down upon by such a fool made Huo Jincheng feel very displeased inside.
"You casually put the marriage certificate away and still say you didn't tell anyone?"
He darkly pinched Jian Yunong's face, forcing her to meet his gaze.
The two were very close, their breaths mingling.
Jian Yunong didn't think she had done anything wrong and explained, "No one cares. The key is, would anyone believe it if I said it? President, can you have a little confidence in yourself? Even my roommate thinks it's impossible for me to be related to you."
If even a fool knows this logic, how could a corporate president not understand?
But is this the point?!
Huo Jincheng let out a cold snort, about to say something when the office door was suddenly pushed open.
Linda stood at the doorway, completely stunned.
From her perspective, it looked like the two were kissing, entangled in each other.
She froze for several seconds until Huo Jincheng commanded displeasedly, "Get out of here now!"
Huo Jincheng's tone was unusually stern.
Linda had never been so indiscreet, especially not when Huo Jincheng was angry and she failed to read the room.
"I'm sorry."
Linda's eyes instantly turned red as she lowered her head and closed the door.
"It seems she likes you."
Jian Yunong placed her hand on his chest, trying to push him away a bit.
"Don't change the subject."
Huo Jincheng straightened up, looking down at her. "We're having dinner at the old house tonight."
"Got it."
Jian Yunong immediately deflated, standing up dejectedly and walking outside.
"Where are you going?"
Huo Jincheng sometimes really wanted to tie Jian Yunong up; couldn't she just sit quietly?
"Back to the office!"
Jian Yunong looked down at her watch. "Is it just you who has work? I'm a working person too, you know?"
Huo Jincheng picked up the report that had errors, raising an eyebrow at her. "This kind of work? If it weren't for your pregnancy, you'd be famous in the hotel industry for this mistake, and no hotel would want you."
"Is it really that scary?"
As a son, he couldn't speak ill of his mother. Huo Jincheng sat down expressionlessly. "You should just quit."
"I won't!"
Jian Yunong turned on her heel and walked back to Huo Jincheng's desk, looking at him across the large boss's desk. "What I do is no less impressive than what you do, and my contributions are significant too. But this big group of yours is made up of people like us who may seem insignificant. Don't underestimate me; what I do has meaning."
Her words were righteous, but they did not sway Huo Jincheng.
He merely curled the corners of his lips, a gesture that made his thin lips appear charming yet dangerous. Jian Yunong sensed the disdain.
"In business, it's all about business. I only look at how much value you create for me. What does meaning matter? It's just your self-comfort."
Jian Yunong's breath caught, her shoulders slumping.
These words were the same as what Aunt Wu Shenshen had said.
Only children would use values to judge whether things have meaning, whether they are right or wrong.
But in the adult world, everything is measured by pros and cons.
"Jian Yunong, there won't be a next time."
Before closing the door, Huo Jincheng's voice echoed behind her.
Jian Yunong instinctively turned to look at him.
Huo Jincheng was already busy, the light from the LCD screen illuminating his face, highlighting his distinct and three-dimensional features.
For some reason, she felt a warmth in her heart.
Mist Shenshen would say the same to her, with a stern tone indicating there would be no next time.
The deceased mother would say this too, there won't be a next time.
Jian Yunong suppressed the sudden surge of longing in her eyes and happened to run into Linda as she walked out.
Linda had already returned to normal by this time; if one didn't look closely, it was impossible to tell that there was a faint redness in her eyes, likely from crying.
"The Financial report for this month is here," she calmly instructed over the phone, having long lost the panic she had when she first entered Huo Jincheng's office.
Linda didn't look at Jian Yunong and walked past her directly, knocking firmly on Huo Jincheng's office door.
Jian Yunong didn't turn back. She returned to the second-floor office and worked non-stop for the entire afternoon.
"Jian Yunong, the chairman's secretary wants you to go up."
At the end of the workday, the Public Relations Department agent shouted this, making Jian Yunong once again the focus of everyone's attention.
"I'm going to deliver today's report."
Jian Yunong felt a bit guilty but pretended to be calm as she walked out of the office.
The elevator opened just as Huo Jincheng was coming out.
"Here’s the report." Jian Yunong had spent an entire afternoon redoing it, only for Huo Jincheng to take it and hand it directly to Linda.
"Let's go."
Huo Jincheng stepped into the elevator first. Seeing Jian Yunong still standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Did you forget what we're doing tonight?"
Today, Mother Huo said they were going home for dinner!
Jian Yunong immediately followed him inside.
She was still a bit reluctant.
"If you take any longer, starting tomorrow, you won't have to come to work anymore. My mom is someone who means what she says."
Huo Jincheng stepped out of the elevator first, and this time Jian Yunong didn't dare to hesitate.
The two of them walked one after the other in the underground parking lot.
"Which car is yours?"
This underground parking lot was filled with luxury cars, and when Huo Jincheng stopped, Jian Yunong thought he couldn't find his car.
"All of them."
"Huh?"
When Jian Yunong was surprised, Huo Jincheng seemed to have finally decided which car to take and walked directly in front of Knight Seventeen.
"Get in."
He gestured for Jian Yunong to come over.
Jian Yunong looked down at her pencil skirt. She estimated that climbing in might be a bit difficult.
Huo Jincheng got out of the car again, placing his hand on Jian Yunong's waist. Before she could react, he had already picked her up and placed her in the passenger seat.
"I'm not disabled," she couldn't help but retort.
Immediately, she received a light tap on her head.
Huo Jincheng stood with his arms crossed beside the passenger seat, looking at her. "Do you hear the sound of the ocean in your head?"
"What’s wrong with me?"
Jian Yunong had no idea what had provoked him this time.
Suddenly, Huo Jincheng leaned in close, and for a moment, Jian Yunong thought he was going to kiss her, so she shut her eyes in fright.
In the end, she only felt a tightness around her chest. She opened her eyes and realized Huo Jincheng was just fastening her seatbelt.
Her face felt a bit hot.
Jian Yunong awkwardly touched her cheek.
Fortunately, Huo Jincheng seemed to have not noticed her earlier self-indulgence; his attention was focused on driving.
Jian Yunong silently lowered her head and counted sheep.
The car arrived at the Huo Family Old Residence.
As soon as Huo Jincheng's car came to a stop, Jian Yunong had already pushed open the door and jumped out.
"There's no need to rush; Grandpa and Grandma must have prepared a feast for you," Huo Jincheng's voice sounded nonchalant.
Jian Yunong was actually a bit afraid he would hug her again like he did when she got in the car. Following Huo Jincheng's words, she said, "I'm just afraid that if we arrive late, there won't be anything left to eat."
Huo Jincheng glanced at her lightly. "Just don't run to the kitchen again later."
"That was an accident. An accident!" Jian Yunong emphasized. "It's my first time at your house; it's normal for me to get lost! No one was guiding me!"
