Chapter 1948: Chapter 1948: I Am Your Greatest Weakness (request for a recommendation ticket)
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips speechlessly.
He looked at Gu Nianzhi quietly for a while and calmly said, “I really didn’t realize that one of your two weaknesses was your true nature as a foodie.”
Gu Nianzhi shrugged and asked with a smile, “You only understand now? Then what is my other weakness?”
“Me.”Huo Shaoheng pointed at himself impolitely. “I’m your biggest weakness.”
This time, it was Gu Nianzhi’s turn to be speechless.
She tried not to laugh as she tiptoed and patted Huo Shaoheng on the head. “Huo Shao, I didn’t realize before that you’re this narcissistic.”
“Wrong, this isn’t narcissism, this is confidence.”Huo Shaoheng bowed and kissed her face. “Mrs. Huo, as long as you put your heart into it, you’ll still discover more of Mr. Huo’s strengths.”
“If narcissism is also a virtue, it’s better if I don’t know too much about him.”Gu Nianzhi giggled and kissed him back. “Okay, that’s enough. Mr. Huo, let’s go to Mrs. Song’s house, Okay? !”
A sly light flashed through her jet-black eyes. At that moment, her expression was lively and lively, like a beam of light illuminating the unknown course of his life.
Because of her, there was one more reason for the world to be worth fighting for.
Huo Shaoheng obeyed her. “Alright, since Mrs. Huo wants to go, let’s go and be three big, shiny lightbulbs.”
He closed the door behind him and led Gu Nianzhi downstairs.
Gu Nianzhi looked at him with a smile and whispered, “Huo Shao, do you think highly of President Lu and Mrs. Song? Does your father know what you’re doing?”
Huo Shaoheng took her hand and said nonchalantly, “They’re adults now. It doesn’t matter if I think highly of them or not. What matters is that they know what they’re doing.”
Gu Nianzhi smiled and leaned her head against Huo Shaoheng’s shoulder. “Huo Shao, then you’re so relieved of me because I’m an adult and know what I’m doing, right?”
“Dream on.”Huo Shaoheng knocked her head without hesitation. “When have you ever let anyone rest assured?”
Gu Nianzhi gnashed her teeth. She wanted to bite him.
Huo Shaoheng pretended not to see her and walked down the stairs with a solemn expression.
The orderly standing guard downstairs immediately straightened up and saluted him continuously.
“Hello, Chief.”
“Hello, Chief.”
Huo Shaoheng nodded without batting an eyelid and led gu nianzhi out of his official residence.
..
At that moment, in a four-person booth near the back window of the Hong Hotel Lobby, Yi Xinyan was gently shaking a glass of red wine in her hand. She glanced at Dou aiyan, who was still in a daze, she asked plainly, “Dou aiyan, didn’t you go to the second floor with Miss Guo to see Mr. Hong Just Now? Why does it seem like Mr. Hong doesn’t know that you guys have been there?”
Dou aiyan rolled her eyes and said, “Miss Yi, we wanted to go to the second floor just now, but before we went up, we saw an extremely handsome man coming down from the second floor.”
“Miss Guo hesitated.”
“She pulled me to a place that the person at the corner of the corridor couldn’t see. She waited for that person to leave before she came out.”
“Later, she said that since he had already left, it was useless to go. The two of US came back.”
“Oh? Is That So?”Yi Xinyan lowered her head and sipped a glass of red wine. “You came back just like that?”
After returning, she brought them here.
“Yes.”Dou aiyan nodded, looking completely innocent as if she did not know what had happened.
Yi Xinyan continued to ask, “Mr. Hong gave up this reserved seat just for the person you saw? Who is that person? Miss Guo should know him, right? Otherwise, why would she not dare to go upstairs the moment she saw him?”
Dou Aiyan did not want to say that name. She frowned and turned her head away. She looked at him and said, “Why is Hui Ning still not coming down? She has been gone for half an hour, right?”
Yi Xinyan’s expression was slightly cold. She put down the wine glass in her hand and lowered her voice, which was eight degrees lower than her normal voice.
“Dou aiyan, you went to the second floor with Miss Guo. who exactly did you see coming down? Did Mr. Hong give up this reserved seat just for this person? I don’t want to ask a third time.”
Dou aiyan pursed her lips and secretly looked at associate director Jia who was sitting beside her. However, even associate director Jia seemed to be submissive to Yi Xinyan.
Dou aiyan was very puzzled.
One was clearly the VP, and the other was only the chief analyst. Why would the VP have to look at the Chief Analyst’s face? This didn’t make sense.
Then, she glanced at Yi Xinyan’s delicate and beautiful face from the corner of her eyes. Dou aiyan thought maliciously that this woman, whose surname was Yi, had a very ordinary family background.
However, she had become the chief analyst of the world’s largest Carlyle investment company at such a young age. It was probably either the man who slept with her was awesome or the man who slept with her mother was awesome..
Yi Xinyan frowned slightly and waited for a while. Seeing that Dou aiyan still did not speak, she did not ask anymore. She picked up her bag and stood up. She said coldly to Dou aiyan, “You’re fired.”
“You don’t have to go back to the Carlyle branch office. I’ll inform the IT department to invalidate all your accounts. I’ll have your personal items sent to your contact address by express delivery.”
Dou aiyan was shocked. She stood up abruptly and said, “Miss Yi, you can’t Fire Me! I’m not from your department!”
She was clearly an intern in the legal department of Carlyle Investment Company Limited, while Yi Xinyan was the chief analyst of the Pacific Rim Region. They were completely unrelated!
Even if you crossed the line to gain power, you shouldn’t do it like this!
Yi Xinyan raised her eyebrows and looked at her. She said coldly, “I don’t think you know that apart from being the chief analyst, I am also a member of Carlyle’s board of directors.”
The appointment and removal of a small intern naturally had absolute authority.
Would the human resources department send back the opinions of the company’s board of Directors for an intern?
Moreover, the company’s board of directors was the true manager of the company.
Dou aiyan’s expression changed abruptly. She opened her mouth and wanted to beg for mercy, but she could not say a word as she watched Yi Xinyan leave without turning her head back.
Only then did associate director Jia Stand Up and say in a low voice,”... why didn’t you say anything just now? She is famous in our company for having a sour face and a hard heart. People call her demoness Yi.”
“Demoness Yi asked you a question, and you still dare not answer?”
Dou aiyan said with a bitter face, “Associate director Jia, I really didn’t know that this matter was so serious... and I thought that I was an intern in the legal department. No matter how powerful demoness Yi is, how could she control me? !”
If she had known that Yi Xinyan was a member of the board of directors, she would have told everything that she knew!
“Associate director Jia, please help me plead for mercy, okay? !”Dou aiyan begged bitterly, “My uncle has a deep relationship with you, you must help me this time!”
Associate Director Jia Sighed, “Aiyan, I do have a good relationship with your uncle, but you can’t rely on my relationship with your uncle to cause trouble again and again in our company... no matter how good I am, I can’t stop you from seeking your own death.”
Dou aiyan spat in her heart and cursed silently. If you’re really good, I’ll be fine no matter how much I seek my own death.
Now, I’ve only failed to answer a person’s question in time, and I’ve been made to lose my position. This shows that you’re not good at all..
Of course, although she cursed silently, she didn’t dare to say it in front of him.
She still begged associate director Jia in a low voice and called her uncle and aunt.
Dou Aiyan’s aunt took pity on her because she was the only daughter of her sister. She still loved her very much.
Her uncle also interceded on her behalf. Associate Director Jia finally relented.
He called Yi Xinyan and saved Dou Aiyan’s internship position at the cost of giving her a few new cases.
Dou aiyan learned a little from this incident.
..
In the small meeting room on the other side of the hall, Hong Ziqi walked around with his arms crossed and a heavy expression on his face. He recalled every detail of the time he had known Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi.
From his own point of view of women, Huo Shaoheng probably treated gu nianzhi like a pet.
However, if the pet was not only cultured, but also intelligent, it would be more troublesome.
It was highly likely that men would not be able to escape this type of woman.
Moreover, the two of them were engaged to be hosted by the Russian president, Putin. He used to watch the grand ceremony as a soap opera, but now that he thought about it, the significance was truly extraordinary.
Guo Huining had offended Gu Nianzhi. It seemed that she had really offended Huo Shaoheng..
The more Hong Ziqi thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. After a while, he took out his phone and planned to give Huo Shaoheng a call to explain himself. He would say some soft words to salvage the misunderstanding.
He would also give Huo Shaoheng a big gift.
Although Xue Jingjiang had asked him to give Gu Nianzhi a gift, he was somewhat unwilling.
He wasn’t short of money, but this gift had to be given to the right person.
Huo Shaoheng was obviously more powerful than Gu Nianzhi.
However, judging from Huo Shaoheng’s behavior, he probably wouldn’t accept the gift.
So he could only give it to the Huo Family?
Hong Ziqi thought as he dialed Huo Shaoheng’s number.
However, after dialing for a long time, the line was still busy.
He was anxious and sent a text message to Huo Shaoheng.
That text message couldn’t be sent at all!
Hong Ziqi finally understood. His face turned pale and his voice trembled as he said,”... Huo has blacklisted me.”
Guo Huining’s heart skipped a beat. Her entire body went cold, but she still forced herself to remain calm. She said in a low voice, “What’s going on? Huo is such a high-status person. is he really that narrow-minded?”
She had offended the Hong family for the sake of a woman. Guo huining was both afraid of Huo Shaoheng and disapproved of him at the same time.
Hong Ziqi glared at Guo Huining. “He’s not narrow-minded. He only stood up for her because he has that woman in his heart. You Don’t understand men at all.”
Guo Huining was furious again. She was so angry that her hands were clenched into fists. She wanted nothing more than to punch Hong Ziqi’s annoying horse face!
But how could she dare to hit this man?
Although he was stupid and stupid, he was the only grandson of the Hong family’s patriarch. He was also the great-grandson that the Hong family’s ancestor doted on the most.
In the future, he would inherit most of the family business.
She took a deep breath and warned herself not to go against the rich and powerful, while holding back her anger, she said, “It’s not a matter of whether or not you understand men.”. Huo was in a high position, so many eyes were on him. He was not a fool. Why would he stake his own future for the sake of a meal?”
Hong Ziqi was puzzled. “Why would he stake his own future?”
Guo huining pointed at herself and said confidently, “Because of me. Do you think I’m easy to deal with? Or do you think I’m a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated by others?”
Hong Ziqi was slightly relieved that she was so confident.
He had been together with Guo Huining for so many years, and the only thing he admired was that she was smarter and more capable than him. She was a very important bargaining chip for him to inherit the family business.
It was just that his ancestor had never agreed to the marriage between the two of them. After being engaged for so many years, Guo Huining still had not been able to enter the Hong family.
Therefore, this was also the reason why Guo Huining valued the Hong Group’s overseas listing this time.
As long as she succeeded, Guo Huining would be a great contributor to the Hong family. Not only would she have a generous bonus, but she would also have very generous initial shares.
At that time, the Hong family would definitely agree to her marrying Hong Ziqi, because initial share of the company meant that she had a say in the Hong Corporation.
The Hong family would not push someone who had a say out of the company.
“That’s good. Huining, you have always been very smart. I believe that this time, you will solve this problem properly.”Hong Ziqi could not think of a way himself, so he could only shift the blame to Guo Huining as usual.
Guo huining heaved a sigh of relief and nodded reluctantly. “I’ll think of something.”
She had been thinking of a countermeasure ever since she had seen Huo Shaoheng come down from the second floor.
Anyway, she had already offended him. It was impossible for her to apologize to Gu Nianzhi, not in this lifetime.
The two of them left the small office, Hong Ziqi returned to the Hong family, and Guo Huining returned to the place where she had hosted her friends.
She realized that Dou Aiyan was the only one left.
Guo Huining could not help but raise her eyebrows and sit down in front of Dou aiyan. She looked around and asked, “Where are associate director Jia and Miss Yi?”
Dou aiyan said listlessly, “They left.”
The scene just now really scared Dou aiyan out of her wits.
She could not help but complain to guo huining, “Huining, why do you think I’m in the way of that Demoness Yi? I’m from the legal department! She’s from the stock analysis department! It’s completely unrelated!”
“What right does she have to fire me just because she wants to fire me? !”
Guo Huining was shocked,”... you’re fired? !”
“No, no!”Dou aiyan quickly waved her hand and shook her head, “I’m not fired. My uncle has a good relationship with associate director Jia.”
“But why would yi Xinyan dare to say that she would fire you?”Guo huining frowned, feeling that it didn’t make sense.
Dou Aiyan was still young. She wasn’t as shrewd as Guo Huining. After a few words, Guo Huining was able to get the truth out of her.
She cried and said, “Sister huining, I’ve only been at Carlyle for a few days. How would I know that Demoness Yi is also a member of the Carlyle’s board of Directors? ! HMPH! She doesn’t have any family background. I only heard that she graduated from a famous school. She must have a man backing her up! “Or maybe her mother has a man backing her up!”
Guo Huining’s face looked like she had been slapped in the face by someone. Her expression was very ugly.
Don’t scold the bald donkey in front of a monk. Dou aiyan saying that about Yi Xinyan was like slapping Guo Huining’s face!
That was because she, Guo Huining, also had an average family background. However, after graduating from a famous school, she relied on her fiancée relationship with Hong Ziqi to become a high-ranking official in the Hong Corporation at a young age..
She didn’t think that there was anything wrong with her, but if others said it out loud, it would be as sad as stepping on the tail of a cat.
Guo Huining’s face darkened and she said unhappily, “Aiyan, if you continue to speak like this, I don’t think that associate director Jia will be able to save you!”
If Yi Xinyan was a member of Carlyle’s board of directors, that would explain why associate director Jia kept looking at Yi Xinyan’s expression today.
Guo Huining weighed the pros and cons in her heart. While she was perfunctory with Dou aiyan, she was thinking about how to get closer to the Huo family.
She glanced at Dou aiyan and remembered what Xue Jingjiang had said today. She suddenly asked, “Aiyan, are you familiar with the Huo Family? If I want to apologize to the Huo family, who do you think is the most suitable person for me to look for?”
