Huo Cheng quickly put on the coat on the chair, gave Chen Fang a look, and then left.
The people left in the meeting room looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Everyone, the president has something urgent. The meeting will be rescheduled. We'll inform you later."
Chen Fang interrupted everyone's discussion and quickly followed behind President Huo.
"Do you want me to go with you?" Chen Fang thought it was something important.
"No."
Chen Fang stopped in his tracks. He always felt that this answer came out of the blue.
When Huo Cheng arrived, Gu Sisi was sitting on a roadside bench, looking like an abandoned kitten.
A pair of shiny leather shoes appeared in front of her, and the familiar voice sounded above her head.
"Let's go home!"
"Okay."
The two seemed as if they had never had a conflict.
Huo Cheng drove rapidly on the road. Through the rear - view mirror, he looked at Gu Sisi in the passenger seat with her eyes tightly closed, seemingly already asleep.
He felt that Gu Sisi might have known something, and there was a faint worry in his heart.
"Huo Cheng." Gu Sisi called out with her eyes closed.
He frowned tightly, and his worry deepened.
"Was Peng Die and General Manager Wang's dismissal related to what happened that night?"
Gu Sisi's tone was very definite. She opened her eyes and stared at him without blinking.
Huo Cheng felt a twinge of pain seeing Gu Sisi like this. He stroked her head and after a long while said, "Just leave this matter to me."
Gu Sisi grabbed Huo Cheng's hand tightly. Her eyes were filled with pleading. "Tell me the truth, okay? I'll go crazy if I don't know."
Huo Cheng stared straight ahead and forcefully pulled his hand out of Gu Sisi's. He stepped on the brake and stopped the car by the roadside.
"Yes." Huo Cheng lit a cigarette.
Gu Sisi blinked in the smoke and also learned the whole story.
It turned out that there had been something wrong with this matter from the very beginning.
It was Peng Die who recommended her to General Manager Wang. The reason behind this was that she had participated in this competition a few years ago and knew that the judge Ouyang would engage in sexual harassment. She had refused at that time, so she didn't win any prize. But this time, she deliberately pushed Gu Sisi into the situation.
General Manager Wang was dismissed because, firstly, he was framed by Peng Die, and secondly, as a superior, he couldn't escape the responsibility when his subordinate got into trouble.
"Is that so?" Gu Sisi lowered her head and said nothing more.
They didn't speak again until they got home.
"Madam, are you okay?" Sister Hu looked at the closed door with a worried face.
"It's okay. Let her calm down."
He didn't know if Gu Sisi could bear the truth, which was why he had chosen not to tell her. But judging from the result, Gu Sisi had a strong reaction to being kept in the dark. It was really a last - ditch effort.
Huo Cheng looked at Gu Sisi's door worriedly, and finally turned around and walked into the study next to it.
Gu Sisi was sitting behind the door. She was completely in a mess. Along the way, there had been intrigues everywhere. If it hadn't been for her good luck and somehow a way out, she couldn't even imagine what situation she would be in now.
She knew that Huo Cheng had good intentions for her. She lay in bed, watching the sky gradually turn dark and then turn white again.
She knew she was suffering from insomnia and couldn't let it go at all.
She sat up angrily, walked into the bathroom, and looked at herself in the mirror. The huge dark circles under her eyes reminded her that she hadn't slept all night.
She splashed water on her face and sobbed sadly.
Those people had already been punished. Why couldn't she fall asleep?
"Madam." Sister Hu knocked on the door gently.
Gu Sisi made a cheering gesture to herself in the mirror, cheered herself up, and then walked out.
When Gu Sisi opened the door,
she saw Sister Hu leading a few people in with breakfast.
"What's this?"
She was puzzled.
"This morning, the young master ordered that if you didn't want to go downstairs for breakfast, we would bring it in for you until you wanted to go downstairs." Sister Hu said slowly, then looked at Gu Sisi with a worried look in her eyes. "Madam, you look in a bad state. Do you want me to call a doctor for you?"
Gu Sisi scratched her head impatiently. She didn't know what Huo Cheng was up to.
But she also understood that indeed in the past few days, her state had been bad. As for her current bad state, she knew exactly why. It would be strange if anyone could be in a good state after staying up all night.
"No need. And there's no need to carry it back downstairs. Don't bring lunch up today." Gu Sisi wanted to cry but had no tears. It seemed that from now on, she could only have lunch at home.
After everyone left, Gu Sisi had breakfast and then relaxed, living like an old person.
"Are you at home? Do you want me to send a driver to take you shopping?" Huo Cheng called.
Gu Sisi rolled around on the bed a few times. She was a bit listless. She tried to raise her voice. "No, thanks!"
Then she buried her head in the pillow and said in a muffled voice, "I'm too lazy to go out."
Look at her. In just such a short period of time, she had become too lazy to even go out.
She believed that in the future, she would adapt well.
She thought to herself trying to find some joy in the hardship.
Since she had said so, Huo Cheng didn't try to persuade her anymore. He just wanted to finish his work quickly and go back home earlier.
"Then you have a good rest at home."
"Okay~" After the call ended, Gu Sisi turned over and lay on her stomach on the bed, trying to force herself to sleep. But for a long time, her mind was still very active.
She had to sit up. She was simply speechless. It was a rare bout of insomnia in her life.
She opened the door abruptly and saw Sister Hu raising her hand, about to knock on the door.
"Ah?" Gu Sisi blinked her eyes.
Sister Hu was obviously also startled. She took a few seconds to recover and then said, "Madam, Mr. Jiang said he has something to talk to you about."
"Mr. Jiang?" Gu Sisi glanced downstairs but didn't see anyone. She asked hesitantly, "Jiang Lihao?"
"Yes." It seemed that Sister Hu knew him.
After all, he was familiar with Huo Cheng. It was normal for Sister Hu to know him. However, Gu Sisi vaguely guessed that Sister Hu probably didn't know that he had lost his memory.
"Okay, I was just about to go downstairs."
The two went downstairs together. When Gu Sisi sat on the sofa, he just walked in.
He looked at her angrily. "Didn't I tell you to come and see me? Why didn't you?"
Gu Sisi rolled her eyes secretly. With so many things happening to her these days, it would be strange if she could go.
But thinking of what Huo Cheng had told her, she patiently said, "Can you be more mature?"
"Where am I being immature?" Jiang Lihao pressed her.
Forget it. Gu Sisi was too lazy to get entangled in this topic with him.
She said to Sister Hu, "Sister Hu, you can go downstairs and take a rest first."
"Yes, Madam."
After seeing Sister Hu leave, she felt more at ease. She didn't want Sister Hu to be shocked. He couldn't be in a state of amnesia forever, right? She wondered how he would regain his lost face in front of these people in the future.
Gu Sisi thought it was funny to herself. Well, she might as well just do a good deed.
"What are you laughing at? Are you mocking me?" Jiang Lihao said in a muffled voice.
Now his head wound seemed to have healed a lot. He had even taken off the bandage. His appearance and dressing were similar to before he lost his memory. Outsiders couldn't tell anything was wrong.
It was precisely because of this that Gu Sisi felt even more emotional.
"No, don't think too much." Gu Sisi coaxed him like a child.
