After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

Mr. Huo's words were meant to put pressure on everyone, but they were also meant to remind everyone that he was still the chairman of the Huo Group, and the power was still in his hands, so what others said didn't count.

"Now, who objects to Zhu Jin becoming the chief designer of our Huo Group?"

As soon as Mr. Huo finished speaking, a few people who didn't understand almost raised their hands, but quickly put their hands down at the signal of the people around them, fearing that if they slowed down a step, they would be discovered.

"It seems that everyone agrees with me." Mr. Huo glanced around and found that no one raised their hand. He nodded with satisfaction, "Then it's decided. Jingxiu, what do you think?"

Huo Jingxiu, who was sitting next to him, nodded and agreed, "Yes, you are right."

"If you have anything else to do, go ahead. I'm an old man who just came to take a look. I hope I haven't caused you any trouble or annoyance." Mr. Huo nodded to everyone, stood up and let Zhu Jin support him to leave the meeting room.

Zhu Jin didn't say a word from beginning to end, and quietly helped Mr. Huo leave.

"Do you want to go back or..." Zhu Jin asked.

From the conference room on the top floor to the lobby on the top floor, one has to go through a long corridor. On one side of the corridor is a transparent, high-gloss glass wall, through which you can see the beautiful scenery outside the window.

The towering skyscrapers and the bustling traffic are all in sight.

Mr. Huo stopped and looked outside with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Zhu Jin stood beside him.

"Let's go to the office. There are some things I still need to talk to you about." said Mr. Huo.

Zhu Jin nodded and said, "Yes."

The two of them deliberately slowed down their pace in the corridor to listen to the sirens and the hustle and bustle of work outside the tall buildings, and only quickened their pace together when the short high-altitude glass corridor disappeared.

In the chairman's office.

Mr. Huo sat at the tea table and pointed to the opposite side of him. "Sit down. Don't be restrained or nervous. I just came to talk to you about something."

He said so, but it didn't stop Zhu Jin from being nervous at all.

After she sat down, her whole back was tense, and her hands were placed on her knees, fearing that her words and actions would make Mr. Huo feel that they were not proper.

Mr. Huo glanced at her, and seeing how nervous she was, he just smiled.

"Although I haven't been with you for a long time, I was surprised to find that you have a good temper and a good personality." Mr. Huo said, "When I first saw your design, I thought it was very creative, but I didn't expect you to be able to give such a good answer."

"You're too kind. I was just doing what I should do," Zhu Jin replied.

Mr. Huo saw her nervousness and she didn't know where to put her hands. He smiled and shook his head, "What do you think about your being awarded the title of chief designer?"

Zhu Jin glanced at Mr. Huo stealthily, then carefully considered his words, thinking about how to answer this question more appropriately.

If I say I'm happy, will people think I'm too profit-oriented?

But if I say that I am unhappy, it seems too hypocritical.

How to answer becomes a question.

Seeing that she had not replied for a long time, Mr. Huo did not urge her, but just made tea, poured tea, and drank tea by himself.

"I am happy. After all, I have been recognized by everyone."

Zhu Jin replied, "But, I am also a little worried. After what happened today, will others think that I actually took a shortcut to get in?"

Before, when Zhu Jin suddenly joined the design department, everyone was just speculating who she was.

And today, Mr. Huo’s actions put the final nail in the coffin, confirming Zhu Jin’s identity.

Those who want to bully or look down on Zhu Jin will restrain themselves in the future, and some may even want to please him.

"I'm just telling the truth. You didn't want to reveal how you got in because you hoped to gain a foothold in the Huo Group through your own efforts." Mr. Huo sipped his tea, "and..."

Before Mr. Huo could finish his words, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"Come in." said Mr. Huo.

President Yan came in with his signature thermos cup. He sat on the side and glanced at the tea on the tea table. "Oh, you are willing to take out such precious tea leaves?"

Mr. Huo glanced at him indifferently, "Humph, you make it sound like you drank less when I was away."

"Oh, it was not illegal at that time, but I was afraid you would know, so I could only take a little secretly." Mr. Yan said with a smile.

Mr. Huo rolled his eyes unceremoniously, "A little? My teapot is almost empty, and you have the nerve to say that's a little."

"Oh, we're friends." President Yan cheerfully brought the tea that Grandpa Huo had just brewed but had not had time to drink to himself. He took a sip slowly, and the aroma filled the air, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.

"Your granddaughter-in-law is a capable one, much better than the others in your family." Mr. Yan praised her generously.

Zhu Jin was startled and sat up straighter.

"It's really amazing." Mr. Huo nodded affirmatively, "Much better than those people in your family who only know how to rely on their parents."

Mr. Yan was not angry. "My family has a lot of money, so I can only let them eat it. But those kids in your family..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Huo interrupted with a frown, "The children have grown up and have their own ideas."

Mr. Yan said nothing and just drank his tea.

"You are now capable enough to gain a foothold in the Huo Group." Mr. Huo looked at Zhu Jin and continued the previous topic, "Besides, I think you also understand. You represent not only yourself in the Huo Group, but also Jingcheng."

Mr. Huo came here specially today, not for his granddaughter-in-law Zhu Jin, but for Huo Jingcheng.

The second branch of the Huo family now has no staff in the company, and Huo Jingcheng is unwilling to come back in the short term. If Zhu Jin is not allowed to climb to a high enough position, I am afraid that Huo Jingcheng will not even have a position when he returns in the future.

This is the road that Mr. Huo paved for him.

However, we have to say that Zhu Jin, the granddaughter-in-law, has done a good job, otherwise it would be useless for Mr. Huo to think too much.

"I know what you mean." Zhu Jin said.

She naturally understood the reason.

Mr. Huo felt that he was always good at judging people, which was why he let Zhu Jin in at the beginning.

"As for the rest, I won't say much, old man. In the company, most of the things you need to fight for yourself."

"If you continue to not fight for what you have, you will be eaten by others until not even a bone is left."

After saying that, he waved at the person, signaling him to leave.

Zhu Jin nodded to Mr. Yan, "Then I'll go down first. Thank you very much, Grandpa, for what happened today. I also want to thank Mr. Yan for speaking up for me."

Zhu Jin was basically certain that when the surveillance incident occurred and his manuscript was judged to be plagiarized, he was not directly kicked out of the company, but was given a chance to prove himself.

This matter was probably also the work of Mr. Huo.

Although Mr. Huo seems to only care about the Huo Group's year-end report, he is actually the real person in charge of the Huo Group.
