    For the refusal of Lu Deng, what came before the weekend was Huo Yuandong's questioning.

    When the company went upstairs, Song Yuran didn't even have time to get up and ask the other party why he came here. Huo Yuandong had already walked to the door of the general manager's office. He pushed the door and walked in without knocking.

    Huo Qingzhi inside was standing by the window on the phone. When she heard the voice, she turned around, paused for a second, and said to the uninvited guest: "Please knock on the door before coming in next time."

    Huo Qingzhi was on the phone, and Huo Yuandong didn't know how to attack directly in front of the owner of an unknown company on the other end of the phone, so he stood there with a bad expression.

    Song Yuran, who rushed over, looked at the scene in the office and despised the other party's rude behavior in her heart, but because of her status, she had no choice but to say to Huo Yuandong: "Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo is busy, please follow me to the reception room.”

    Just two steps away, Huo Qingzhi had already ended the call with the other end and said, "No need."

    She looked at Song Yuran, "Secretary Song, go and pour two cups of tea."

    Song Yuran obediently replied, "Okay."

    This way of hospitality made Huo Yuandong barely recover his complexion, and he raised his foot to walk to the sofa in the rest area on one side of the office, but Huo Qingzhi walked to the desk in the opposite direction and sat down directly on the boss chair.

    The simple office chair opposite was still empty.

    After sitting down, Huo Qingzhi didn't intend to move any more, she smiled at Huo Yuandong: "I don't know what can make uncle so aggressive."

    Huo Yuandong turned around and could only walk towards the office chair opposite Huo Qingzhi.

    Office chairs are not as elegant as boss chairs, and their comfort is not as good as the leather sofas in the rest area. Perhaps it is due to the high utilization rate, and the originally soft seat cushions are compressed and hard.

    But these are not what Huo Yuandong cares about right now.

    "I heard that Luden planned to give us a booth for free at the autumn clothing show, but you actually refused?"

    "Yes." Huo Qingzhi said calmly, "Is there any problem?"

    "It's a big problem!" Huo Yuandong's face darkened, "It's fine for you to go to cooperate with a small website in a whimsical way, but now you don't want the resources of a large group, what are you going to do?"

    "Compared to this, I'm more curious about how Uncle got the news?" Huo Qingzhi said with a half-smile, "It seems that only Secretary Song knows that Lu Deng is going to provide us with a booth in the whole company except me.How long did it take to reply, uncle is so well informed?"

    "..." Changing his focus, Huo Yuandong was like a lighted squib. He stroked his beard and pretended to be calm: "Of course, Mr. Lu Deng told me that the company was in a difficult situation.Is it normal for us to have contact with the investment that was finally brought in?"

    Fearing that the other party would continue to ask about this topic, Huo Yuandong quickly changed the topic: "Now that Lu Deng intends to show his favor to us, but you are so confused, do you understand the truth that colleagues are not enemies?What will you do next?"

    "Of course I have my reasons for refusing." The corners of Huo Qingzhi's lips twitched, and the mockery was even more serious: "Uncle, if you can't figure it out clearly, I may not be clear."

    "What do you know? I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. Don't forget that I managed the company before you, and I know how it works. Nowadays, the clothing industry is highly competitive, like ours.It’s a great thing for a medium-sized company to take advantage of this shareholder spirit. Look at how many companies are crowded out and want to rent a booth! But you are so ignorant!”

    "I'm afraid it's not a cooperation?" Huo Qingzhi paused, "Uncle has great powers, so he doesn't know that Lu Deng has made private acquisitions in the past few years, right? Xingxing, who was once in the sky, has fallen to the point of layoffs now? I thinkMy uncle who eats more salt than me knows why."

    Huo Yuandong couldn't help but rubbed his hands under the table on his knees awkwardly, and said vaguely: "Lu Deng wants to buy our company? Why don't I know."

    "Not now." Huo Qingzhi leaned back into the boss's chair, "Who can tell what will happen afterwards?"

    "Since my uncle kept saying that Hua Sen was the brainchild of my mother and your own sister." She threw the problem back: "Then do you think it's time to take over this booth?"

    Huo Yuandong suddenly found a huge hole in front of him.

    If it is right, Watson accepts this, and if Lu Deng makes a fuss about the exhibition in the future, which will affect the company's interests, he will not be able to escape responsibility now, and he will be suspected of betraying the company.

    But if it wasn't right, I would be like a fool who has no brains and no opinion, who hastily came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

    No answer was appropriate, and the atmosphere became stalemate because of Huo Yuandong's silence.

    Knock Knock——

    The conscientious Secretary Song knocked on the door with two cups of brewed tea.

    "Boss Huo, Mr. Huo, your tea."

    With the entry of a third person into the office, it eased a lot.

    Huo Yuandong adjusted his neckline pretendingly, took a deep breath, and said reluctantly: "My personal opinion is nothing."

    "Since uncle is so clear, please think twice in the future." Huo Qingzhi smiled emotionlessly, and his eyes fell on the cup of steaming tea in front of Huo Yuandong, "Uncle came here in a hurry, try the new officeof tea."

    Mingming's tone sounded polite and polite, but from Huo Yuandong's ears, he felt very uncomfortable. He knew very well that he had lost so badly in the game just now, how could he be in the mood to drink tea.

    "I still have something to do, so I won't drink." Huo Yuandong got up, and glanced at the chair behind him, "It's time to change the chair in the office, it's really uncomfortable to sit on."

    "Secretary Song, see off the guests."

    Until Huo Yuandong walked out, Huo Qingzhi was still sitting on the boss's chair, and he didn't move his position the whole time.

    Song Yuran looked back at Huo Qingzhi, worried that the old fox had tripped Huo Qingzhi because he wasn't there just now, but the moment he met his gaze, the other person blinked at her and laughed silently.

    It seems to be all right.

    Huo Yuandong naturally didn't know about the interaction between the two of them, and he felt very aggrieved. He just felt that his niece was very different from before, and would start to express and insist on his own ideas.

    After thinking about it, he caught a glimpse of Song Yuran who was leading the way ahead. He collected himself and pretended to be kind and said, "Xiao Song."

    Song Yuran stopped and turned around, "Yes, Mr. Huo has any orders."

    "It's nothing." Huo Yuandong walked to the window sill next to the elevator entrance, looked at the dark clouds outside the window, and said, "I remember you have been in the secretary's office for a while, are you still used to it?"

    "Habit."

    "That's good." Huo Yuandong stroked the stubble on his chin, turned around and looked at Song Yuran pretending to be deep, and said: "As a secretary, you are equivalent to the boss' right-hand man. You must work hard to live up to Qingzhi's love for you.trust."

    Song Yuran smirked professionally: "I will, thank you Mr. Huo for your advice."

    "Hmm." Huo Yuandong nodded, his voice paused, and the topic changed: "Of course, if it is really classified, the secretary can be regarded as one of the top managers. Since you are a manager, you can't just focus on completing the work for many things.If things are done hastily, then you have to learn to share the worries for the leaders.”

    "Oh?" Song Yuran acted as if suddenly enlightened and very interested.

    This expression asking for advice also successfully gave Huo Yuandong the idea to continue, "After the leader makes a decision, the secretary can't just think about implementing it blindly, but must have his own independent thinking. Think about it, is such a decision really important to the company?beneficial."

    "You see why the emperors in ancient times set up the post of prime minister? That is, the emperor hoped that when he made a mistake, someone would dare to come out and advise him."

    "Mr. Huo, are you referring to the autumn clothing exhibition of Luden Group?"

    Song Yuran smiled on the surface, and guessed the purpose of Huo Yuandong's visit this time. He probably wanted to make Huo Qingzhi change his mind and accept Lu Deng's offer to hit a wall. Now he wants to brainwash himself and block himself from the gun to lobbyHuo Qingzhi changed his mind.

    Huo Yuandong asked: "What do you think about this matter?"

    Song Yuran just didn't fall for it, and said humbly, "Mr. Huo, I'm just a part-time worker. How dare I comment on the boss's decision. President Huo's decision naturally has her considerations. This is not what I should think about."

    After she finished speaking, she saw that the smile on Huo Yuandong's face was a little broken, she just felt uncomfortable, and continued to make up the knife: "Besides, Mr. Huo, you also said that you should share the worries of the leader. Since the leader decides, I will intervene in this matter."Does that mean adding to the chaos?"

    "I am also very clear about my identity. I can't be the prime minister anymore. It is an act of arrogance to interfere with the boss's decision with a face."

    She showed a perfect smile without any flaws: "What do you think? Mr. Huo."

    Obviously he was talking about himself, but Huo Yuandong felt very uncomfortable in a daze, and felt uncomfortable being accused of being scolded.

    He felt more and more that what Song Yuran said was scolding him for being too lenient and shameless. After a while, he waved his hands and let out a sneer from his nasal cavity, and stopped pretending to her.

    "Mr. Huo, go slowly~"

    But when he closed the elevator door at the end, he saw the secretary bowing to her. The perfect smile on his face made him unable to vent his anger.

    As soon as Song Yuran returned to the office, he saw Huo Qingzhi standing at his desk, holding a "Employee Handbook" in his hand and pretending to read it.

    Seeing himself coming back, Mr. Huo barely raised his eyelids, "Why is it taking so long?"

    "Oh." Song Yu ran to the workstation, and said with a nonchalant expression, "That Mr. Huo is teaching me."

    Snapped

    The booklet snapped shut.

    Huo Qingzhi frowned, "I didn't make things difficult for you."

    "No, why is such a hard-working and good employee making things difficult for me?" As long as I do a good job on the surface, the other party will only be sullen, and at most will hide under the quilt and cannot sleep at night.

    It is also thanks to Huo Yuandong's face-saving and hypocritical character.

    "Then what did he tell you?"

    "Hmm..." Song Yuran thought for a while, "Maybe he wants to brainwash me."

    "Oh?" Huo Qingzhi raised his eyebrows, and asked knowingly, "Has the brainwashing succeeded?"

    Song Yuran took the "Employee Rules" from her fingers, opened a page, casually pointed to the text on it and said, "This is given to me by the previous secretary, let me always remember the rules above, do you see that I am not correct?"Are you doing it?"

    Huo Qingzhi glanced at her fingertips.

    The words pointed by the fingertips are: Obey the leader, be the best employee, and never shirk your duties.

    "Really?" Huo Qingzhi raised his lips, "In that case, Yiqiao is moving tonight, I'll help, you can go too."

    "Why do I have to go too?" Song Yuran asked reflexively, turning his head to look at the employee handbook in his hand, and saw that line of text at a glance.

    "Didn't you say 'Is it in progress'?" Huo Qingzhi read it back to her: "Obey the leader, be the best employee, and never shirk your duties."

    "Helping with moving is not the job of a secretary. I have the right to refuse." Secretary Song said confidently.

    Soon, her momentum weakened: "Of course, if you ask me out in private, we can do it quietly."

    She pointed to the Employee Handbook: "One size."

    Pointing to himself again, "Return to one size."

    Huo Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and felt that Secretary Song, who was fighting for his position based on reason, was a little cute, and said with a slight smile, "No matter what size, it belongs to me."

    Secretary Song didn't turn the corner all of a sudden, and gave a hiss in doubt.

    There is nothing wrong with these words, but always feel that something is wrong.

    Really puzzling.

    "Why, the clever little head can't turn the corner?" Mr. Huo patted her on the head lightly and teased.

    "No." Song Yuran didn't bother to think about it, "I think Mr. Huo's hin makes sense."

    "However, why did you ask me?" Song Yuran looked puzzled, "Why didn't you ask Sister Yushu to help move it?"

    For things like moving, Shen Yushu has a car, so it will be more convenient than her, right?

    "I'll find an excuse to stay with you for a while, can't I?" Boss Huo said it as a matter of course.

    These words sounded rather ambiguous, Song Yuran couldn't help but fantasize, it can be seen from Mr. Huo's calm expression, it seems that these words are as natural as she usually asks herself to go downstairs to buy a drink, as if... She just thinks too much.

    What a scheming straight girl!

    The author has something to say:

    Mr. Huo: The straight girl is actually myself (beautiful girl choking jpg)
