Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss
1556 They Were Acquainted
Huo Yao knew about the unwritten rules in the industry and was unsurprised. However, there was something strange with Jie Xi's extremely humble attitude. She tapped her finger on her knee gently as she pondered. For a moment there, she wondered if she looked like a petty woman.
"Since it has been resolved, don't worry about it." She waved her hand and was in a good mood.
Even though Jie Xi knew Huo Yao did not take it to heart, he apologized repeatedly. He finally stopped when his boss glanced at him.
Shortly after Jie Xi stepped aside, his phone rang in his pocket. He took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Wei Yong.
Jie Xi had to tender his resignation after going home. He felt angry just thinking about it, so he hung up the phone immediately and blacklisted Wei Yong.
Huo Yao failed to detect Jie Xi's reaction. Since the contract was settled, she stood up and went back to class.
J called her back. "Shall we have lunch?"
Liu Qian was about to place the contract in the drawer, but his hand trembled the moment he heard what J said. He turned to look at the young man in shock.
He wondered if J had a thing for Huo Yao.
As Liu Qian's imagination ran wild, Huo Yao said casually, "It's the school canteen. Are you sure?"
Liu Qian was stunned.
J glanced at Huo Yao. He naturally did not mind eating there. "Of course. Can you remove me from the blacklist first?"
Huo Yao raised her brow and quickly took out her phone and tapped on it. "All done."
J heaved a sigh of relief. He paused and said shamelessly, "You have to add me on WeChat as well."
Huo Yao looked at him sideways. "Aren't you a hacker? Why bother using WeChat?"
"I'm afraid you might blacklist me again one day." J felt very worried inside.
Huo Yao scoffed out loud. She opened her WeChat and let him scan her QR code.
Liu Qian watched in shock as everything transpired until he finally snapped out of it. He could not help feeling curious. "Did you already know Mr. Meng?"
Huo Yao acknowledged softly without denying their relationship.
Sure enough, he was right!
Liu Qian's cheeks twitched. The news was far more jaw-dropping than discovering that Mr. Meng was the CEO of DO Corporation.
No wonder she was unintimidated when they brought up DO Corporation.
Even after the institute tried to steal the project, she remained calm. She was unafraid to argue with Mr. Meng publicly and already knew that no one would make her apologize. In hindsight, it was all because he was a personal acquaintance.
The moment Liu Qian learned the truth, he looked at Huo Yao resentfully for not telling him sooner. She had concealed this very well!
When Huo Yao detected Liu Qian looking at her intently, she decided to make a run for it. "Bye-bye."
Liu Qian waved his hand powerlessly.
Before long, only Qi Hui and Liu Qian were left in the office.
Qi Hui's mind had turned to mush.
When he discovered that Mr. Meng was acquainted with Huo Yao, it was a bolt from the blue and he nearly lost balance.
Qi Hui's phone rang in his pocket. He trembled briefly before taking out his phone.
Wei Yong was calling him since he was unable to reach Jie Xi.
Sadly, Qi Hui did not dare to answer the phone. He did not want to tell Wei Yong about the updates regarding the project.
Qi Hui kept waiting until the call automatically got disconnected before he sighed in relief. However, he remained worried inside.
**
Huo Yao did not really make J eat at the school canteen. Instead, she brought him to a restaurant near the campus.
