Shang Manyue's hand holding the door handle suddenly clenched.

Although she didn't hear the whole story, she could roughly guess what it was just from this one sentence.

Ever since Huo Jingbo and Jiang Yuan got engaged, although Mrs. Huo was no longer obsessed with him and Jiang Yuan, she still spared no effort to find a new marriage partner for Huo Jingbo.

Mrs. Huo never looked down on her.

Huo Jingbo had always refused before, but now that he has broken up with her, he will not refuse anymore.

Too……

It was not the first day that she knew about Huo Jingbo's cold and decisive nature. It was very consistent with his personality that he would do such a thing.

The burning heat in my heart was extinguished in an instant.

She is no longer the Shang Manyue who would go against the wall even if it meant breaking her way. Now she will not force a relationship that does not belong to her.

Shang Manyue slowly loosened her hand, turned and left.

Secretary Song had just returned from the tea room after making coffee when she saw Shang Manyue walking out in a daze. She called out to him a few times, but he seemed not to hear her and disappeared from her sight.

Secretary Song frowned. Was this... did the talks break down or were they not discussed at all?

The relationship between the big boss and his wife is really worrying.

Secretary Song walked into the office with a cup of coffee. Huo Jingbo had just finished a call and threw his phone on the desk and gave instructions.

"I have a private dinner tonight, so there's no need to arrange any schedule for me."

Private dinner?

Are you going on another blind date?

When he was in City B before, Mrs. Huo had called him several times to urge him to do so, and she had overheard it once or twice by chance.

Secretary Song didn't dare to ask. After she put the coffee on the table, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Huo, your wife came to see you just now, but she just stood at the door for a while and left directly. When she left... her face was not very good. Do you... want to give her a call and ask?"

Huo Jingbo leaned back in the leather chair, raised his eyelids lazily and glanced at Secretary Song.

Although his eyes were calm and composed, Secretary Song shuddered all over and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.

The man opened his lips, his voice almost cold, "Secretary Song, since your work is so unsaturated, why not send it out..."

"Boss Huo, I'm so busy. I'm going to go out and do some work now. Just treat my words as bullshit and forget it..."

Secretary Song said, then turned and ran.

She didn't want to be sent to places like Africa at all.

The office door was closed, and Huo Jingbo tapped the table lightly with his long fingers, his handsome face showing a gloomy expression.

……

Shang Manyue did not let herself be immersed in the sad mood. After she returned to the company, she was in meetings for the whole afternoon.

She was also glad that she still had a busy job that could divert her attention.

At first, she returned to Hong Kong City to take over the company just for Brian, but over the past few months, as the company grew step by step, she gradually fell in love with the feeling of striving for a career.

Be able to achieve self-growth and value, and no longer just be a rich lady in a deep house.

No matter how difficult the work is, every day is a new challenge, and when it is completed, the sense of satisfaction is incomparable to anything else.

Secretary He was originally quite worried about Shang Manyue, but now seeing her condition, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

She also laughed and joked, "As expected, women still need to have a career. Careers will never go away, but men may not!"

Shang Manyue smiled, signed her name on the document neatly, and then handed it back to her.

Secretary He took it and said, "Mr. Xiao Shang, the supplier has invited you to dinner tonight. Can you...?"

Shang Manyue said without hesitation, "Of course, this supplier is very important to us. If we can negotiate this batch of materials, our Shangshi's stock price will double in the next year. We must treat them well."

Secretary He: "Okay, I understand."

Eight o'clock in the evening, Hong Kong City First Hotel.

Shang Manyue hosted the supplier Chen Yu in the VIP room. Chen Yu was of the same age as Shang Manyue, had a dignified bearing, and wore glasses and looked very gentle.

When Chen Yu saw Shang Manyue, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Jason has always promised me that although Ms. Shang is a beauty, her abilities should not be underestimated. I wondered how beautiful and capable she must be to be praised by Jason. Now I see..."

He paused deliberately.

Shang Manyue chuckled and naturally asked, "How is it? Are you disappointed?"

Chen Yu shook his head, "Not only am I not disappointed, I also feel that...what he said is too conservative."

He met her gaze, making no effort to hide his admiration for her.

All the interactions between adult men and women are straightforward, unlike those among young people who hide their feelings.

But this kind of straightforwardness does not make people feel uncomfortable, but rather is very measured.

After all, a gentleman loves a beautiful lady, and there is nothing wrong with that.

After finishing the business, Chen Yu drank a sip of tea and rarely showed a hint of shyness, "Mr. Xiao Shang, I wonder if you... have a boyfriend?"

He was frank, and Shang Manyue naturally responded with sincerity, "No, I'm divorced and have children. I have two children. The older one is over five years old, and the younger one is almost two years old."

Chen Yu has lived abroad for many years and only returned to Hong Kong this year to develop his career. He is not familiar with the things here, so he did not contact Shang Manyue and the former Mrs. Huo at the first time.

He was just surprised by her answer.

Shang Manyue looks very young and elegant, you really can’t tell that the child is this big already.

But he was not discouraged. He is in his thirties this year and has been married before, but he has no children. He and his ex-wife were in a family marriage and they later broke up peacefully. They are still good friends now.

After all, he is old and his family is pushing him hard. It is rare to see a good one, so he still wants to fight for himself.

"I wonder if Mr. Xiao Shang has considered remarrying? I like children too."

Shang Manyue was slightly stunned, as if she didn't expect his attack to be so fast.

Although she doesn't mind it, she really doesn't have the heart to enter into a new relationship at the moment.

She could only decline politely.

Chen Yu nodded in understanding, "I understand, but... we will have a lot of time to meet each other when we work together. I won't give up easily."

After eating and drinking, Chen Yu and Shang Manyue walked out of the box. Unexpectedly, when they walked out of the hall, they happened to see Huo Jingbo and a woman with excellent temperament and stunning appearance walking out from the other side.

The woman was wearing a long dress with her hair tied up high. Her every move was full of charm, and she was so beautiful that all the guests passing by looked at her sideways.

She was holding Huo Jingbo's arm and walking side by side with him.

They look like a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman.

Shang Manyue looked over and was stunned.

She didn't expect that Huo Jingbo and someone else... had also made an appointment to have dinner here.

Maybe it's true that enemies always meet in a narrow road.

At the same time, Huo Jingbo's dark eyes fell on Shang Manyue and... the man beside her.

His black eyes narrowed deeply.
