Chapter 129 - 129:129, attractive people tend to look similar.
Huo Jingshen’s brow twitched.
He hung up the phone and opened WeChat.
As expected, the WJY WeChat group was in chaos.
Chu Xiuhuang sent a news link, “Big brother’s infidelity stole my headline.” Nangong Ci said, “All the female fans of the Fire Emperor Society must be crying. Brother Fire Emperor hasn’t been caught with his girlfriend in a hotel this month?”
Ming Jing: “Wasn’t the recent female companion beautiful enough?
Chu Xiuhuang: “It’s because the secretary’s taste has declined.
Nangong Ci: “You should urge your secretary to improve the quality of the female companions! It’s embarrassing!
Lu Chenyu: “Scumbag.”
Chu Xiuhuang: “Who the hell are you calling a scumbag, Fourth?”
Lu Chenyu: “Heh.”
Nangong Ci: “Something’s wrong with Fourth! Second brother, did you do something against Fourth again?”
Chu Xiuhuang: “Screw you!”
Ming Jing: “Hahahaha.”
Chu Xiuhuang: “Blaming me for not being able to marry a woman, it seems I’m also to blame for him being single right?”
Nangong Ci: “We had agreed to be ‘bros before hoes’, but it seems like only Fourth is sticking to it. Big brother is busy cheating, second brother is busy changing girlfriends, and I’m busy performing surgeries.”
Ming Jing: “I am busy developing new software.”
Lu Chenyu: “Heh.”
After a few seconds, Huo Jingshen sent a WeChat message with a “smile” emoji.
Chu Xiuhuang: “Shit, big brother is here.”
Nangong Ci: “Big brother must be upset on the inside, but still has to keep a smile on his face.”
Putting down his phone, Huo Jingshen reached for the intercom, “Come in.” Shortly, the office door opened and Ji Jie rolled in uneasily, “President Huo, the meeting room is ready…”
“How did you handle that report?” Huo Jingshen interrupted impatiently.
Ji Jie quickly responded, “President Huo, as soon as the report was released this afternoon, I contacted the magazine’s person in charge. They’ve pulled all the magazines ready for distribution, and enlisted their magazine’s official Weibo account to apologize. The intern reporter has been fired, and we’re working on deleting and screening the online report. The person responsible from the newspaper also wants to come personally deliver an apology this afternoon…” Huo Jingshen looked at him, indifferent, ”1 was asking what you did last night.” Ji lie’s legs wobbled, “President Huo, I deleted all the pictures from her camera last night. I didn’t expect she had used her phone to take them.
“You didn’t expect?” Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.
“That was my negligence at work, I promise it won’t happen again…
“There’s a next time?” Huo Jingshen raised his other eyebrow too.
Ji Jie was on the verge of tears, almost dropping to his knees, “President Huo, just say it. Whatever punishment you want. It’s all my fault.”
Please, just put me out of my misery!
With each word he uttered, he felt as if he were being meticulously tortured by
a cold-hearted demon. His poor heart couldn’t take much more.
“This month’s salary will be deducted. Your performance next month will determine the consequences,” Huo Jingshen stood up after speaking. “Go to the meeting room.”
“Thank you, President Huo.”
After all this commotion, Huo Jingshen, who never came late to work ever since he took office, was remarkably late for the executive meeting for the first time today.

The meeting didn’t finish until 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
Huo Jingshen had just returned to his office.
“Mr. Huo.”
Ji Jie walked in after knocking on the door, “The relevant person in charge of “Entertainment Weekly” has come. What do you think…”
“Send them away.”
“Understood, Mr. Huo.” Ji Jie immediately went out to execute the order. Huo Jingshen picked up his phone, sent a message on WeChat, “Baby, wait for me at the school.”
A few seconds later, Su Wanwan replied, “Come pick me up at Nangong
Hospital.”
Huo Jingshen called immediately, “Baby, are you hurt?”
“No.” Su Wanwan was confused. “Weiyi got hurt, I came here to accompany her.”
Huo Jingshen’s handsome brows lifted slightly, “I thought you got into a fight on your first day at school.”
At his words, the little girl wasn’t pleased, launching a counterattack, “What the hell do you mean by that? Do I look like someone who picks fights? Who’s the one provoking me every time? So, I can’t defend myself when someone hits me or curses at me?”
Huo Jingshen:”…”
Presumably because he had finished all his work and had some spare time, he began to preach, “There’s a solution to everything, but if all resolutions depend on violence, that is the behavior of a brute…”
“I am a brute! If you despise me, just divorce me!” After saying that, she hung up the phone.
Huo Jingshen:”…”
This girl, dare to hang up on him?
This is getting out of line!

At the hospital.
Su Wanwan huffed back into the sickroom.
“Wanwan, look how cute my turtles are. The emerald one is Xiao Xiaobai, and the black one is Xiao Baibai.”
Su Wanwan: “Ugly as hell!”
Mo Weiyi:”…”
Her phone dinged, it was a WeChat message from Huo Jingshen. Huo Jingshen: “Do you know the consequences of hanging up on me?
Then he added a trademark “smile” emoji.
Who’s he trying to scare?
Su Wanwan pouted, unimpressed.
“Knock, knock, knock,” there was a knock on the door.
“Princess.” Zhong Kai entered, dressed in a sleek black suit and wearing a standard smile.
Two men, similarly clad in suits, followed him carrying a large wooden crate. After setting it down, they both nodded politely to Mo Weiyi as if vassals before their queen.
Mo Weiyi blinked her sparkling cat eyes. “What brings you here?
“Princess, this is a gift Mr. Xiao sent us to deliver to you,” Zhong Kai politely announced..
