Chapter 171: Bread and Butter
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Where do you live? I’ll send you home.” Seeing that Qiao An was drunk, Huo Xiaoran was rarely kind.
Qiao An instantly woke up. She stood up shakily and rejected Huo Xiaoran in a panic. “CEO, I can go home by myself. There’s no need to trouble you.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at her swaying body and said doubtfully, “Are you sure you can go home by yourself?”
Qiao An nodded eagerly.
Huo Xiaoran threw her aside and strode away.
Qiao An ran unsteadily to the sidewalk and reached for a cab.
She was really drunk and stopped cars when she saw them. However, many drivers were unwilling to drive her when they saw her. When a Rolls-Royce stopped in front of her, she opened the door and entered without a word.
Huo Xiaoran sat in the back seat and gave her a death stare.
Qiao An caught the wind and got even more drunk.
She leaned close to Huo Xiaoran and murmured, “Where have I seen you before? Do I know you very well?”
“No,” Huo Xiaoran said angrily.
Qiao An broke out in a cold sweat at the sound of his voice.
......
“I want to get out of the car.” She frantically went to open the door.
Huo Xiaoran instructed the driver, “Lock the window and drive.”
The driver hit the gas and sped away.
Qiao An’s body was thrown forward heavily and she fell back into the back seat.
“I want to get out of the car.” She glared at Huo Xiaoran resentfully.
Huo Xiaoran ignored her request and asked indifferently, “Where do you live?”
Qiao An casually named a street.
When the Rolls-Royce dropped her off on that street, she pointed casually at a building. “Okay, okay, my home is here. Put me down.”
Huo Xiaoran looked at the writing building in front of him and asked coldly, “Are you sure?”
Qiao An said, “Positive, positive.”
“This is an office building. Does your family live in an office building?”
Ugh!
Qiao An was embarrassed.
“My house is just past this office building.” Fortunately, she reacted quickly.
Huo Xiaoran asked, “Is it Huaman City?”
When Qiao An heard the name of her building, her face turned pale.
Damn, she had tried her best to hide her residence, but this guy still guessed it.
“Oh.” She nodded reluctantly.
Huo Xiaoran’s slender fingers rested lazily on the car door, and his handsome face fell into deep thought.
Huaman City was a school district house in the best area of the capital ten years ago. Those who could buy a house in Huaman City were all rich.
And his assistant was living in a luxurious school district house with a meager salary. This matter was unusual.
“Go to Huaman City,” Huo Xiaoran instructed the driver.
The driver drove to HuamanCity and Huo Xiaoran suggested gentlemanly, “I’ll send you upstairs.”
Qiao An was so frightened that her soul left her body. She held the door handle tightly and refused to get out of the car.
Huo Xiaoran looked at her strange actions and could only blame all her abnormality on her alcohol tolerance.
“Why don’t you get out of the car?” he asked her.
Jo Ann made up a reason. “I’m afraid the neighbors will misunderstand that you’re providing for me.”
Huo Xiaoran resisted the urge to kick her out of the car.
He didn’t even despise her, but was she despising him?
He, Huo Xiaoran, had always been a man that was pestered by women.
Wait a minute, why was this woman’s brain so similar to someone’s?
Huo Xiaoran stared at her deeply, his gaze seriously tracing her eyebrows. The shape of her eyes was indeed slightly different from Qiao An’s. They shouldn’t be the same person.
“Get home on your own.” He dropped his demeanor.
This time, Qiao An scrambled out of the car and slipped away quickly.
The driver was dumbfounded when he saw Qiao An running faster than a rabbit. Did CEO Huo liked such an assistant?
He did not see Huo Xiaoran’s pale face.
“Go back.”
When Qiao An returned home, she rushed to the bathroom and vomited. Only when she was almost done vomiting did she feel a little relieved.
She lay weakly on the big bed, her head aching as she stared at the ceiling in despair.
It turned out that being Huo Xiaoran’s assistant was really a torture for her, who didn’t know how to drink.
However, according to her revenge plan, the first step was to do her best as an assistant and make him trust her. Only then could she carry out her revenge plan.
She could only tell herself to just bear with it a little longer.
However, Qiao An also understood that a big shot like Huo Xiaoran had to socialize every day as part of his job.
There were drinks, balls, banquets, and all kinds of socializing.
After all, the business of capitalists came from drinking.
She had to negotiate with him.
The next day.
She recalled that when she went to work yesterday, the big CEO actually arrived at the company before her. As an outstanding assistant, how could she let the big CEO go to work before her?
So today, Qiao An woke up earlier and put on makeup faster. After sending the children to school, she ran desperately to the subway.
She arrived half an hour earlier than yesterday.
Qiao An felt that the CEO definitely didn’t arrive earlier than her today. Seeing that he had hired such a dedicated assistant, he should be secretly happy.
However, when Qiao An stepped into the office and saw the elegant figure on the CEO’s chair, Qiao An was petrified.
“President, good morning.” She greeted him with a stiff expression.
Why did this guy love his job so much?
Huo Xiaoran was busy flipping through the documents and ordered without looking up, “Strong coffee.”
“Okay.” Qiao An quickly poured him a cup of strong coffee.
Huo Xiaoran had just picked up the coffee and drank it when he was scalded by the hot coffee. Then, he looked at Qiao An resentfully.
“You’re so clumsy.”
Qiao An quickly apologized. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I forgot to remind you that there’s no cold water.”
However, she was secretly happy. He deserved it.
Huo Xiaoran looked into Qiao An’s bright eyes and said coldly, “Revenge?”
Qiao An’s face fell. This guy could read minds?
“Hehe, CEO, how would I dare to take revenge on you?” She did not notice the hidden meaning in her CEO’s words.
“Hmm? Why? Are you dissatisfied with the drinking?”
Qiao An wanted to slap his mouth and change the topic. “No, no, no, CEO, why should I take revenge on you? You gave me a job and a salary. You’re my bread and butter. I should thank you.”
Huo Xiaoran smiled. “Too fake.”
Qiao An was speechless.
‘It’s your fault for being too shrewd.’
She still had to flatter him. “CEO, I was just saying what I was thinking.”
Huo Xiaoran climbed up the pole. “In that case, prepare to attend a banquet with me tonight. Be my dance partner.”
Qiao An was dumbfounded.
“CEO, I don’t know how to drink.” She smiled bitterly.
“Am I not your bread and butter?” Huo Xiaoran asked her.
“Yes, yes, yes.” There was no way Qiao An would put her foot in her mouth.
“Then take it as drinking a few glasses of wine for your bread and butter,” Huo Xiaoran said coldly.
Qiao An was speechless.
She wanted to swear.
This guy was too damn dark.
