Startled by the imposing manner, General Manager Cheng involuntarily took a step back. It took him a long time to find his voice. "Yes, yes."
The two got back into the car. Closing the door, they isolated themselves from the noisy outside world. Chen Fang started the car.
He asked in confusion, "General Manager Huo, since we suspect there's something fishy about this company, why didn't we continue to probe but instead tip off the enemy?"
Just hearing General Manager Huo reveal his surname had already surprised him enough. He never expected that General Manager Huo would even give his business card to the other party.
What if there really was someone backing that company? Then they would have completely exposed their identities.
"If we don't tip off the enemy, how will they panic and expose themselves from the shadows?" Huo Cheng lowered his eyes to conceal the glint in them. There was a half - smile on his lips.
...
General Manager Cheng paced around the office a few times. The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. That surname was simply impossible to ignore.
Gritting his teeth, he picked up the business card on the table. After making sure the office door was locked, he made a call.
After stating the matter, he waited for a while.
The person on the other end gave a soft "hmm". "Just stay calm."
After hanging up the phone, the person on the other end slowly raised his eyes, which were filled with a menacing look.
"Huo Cheng, huh?" the person murmured, his thin lips parting slightly.
While Yang Qian was working, she heard her subordinates chattering away.
When things weren't too busy, a little leisure was actually nice.
She didn't pay much attention at first, but when passing by, she accidentally caught a word.
Yang Qian frowned, turned around, and asked in disbelief, "What did you guys say about the comic department?"
Caught by their superior, the employees looked a bit embarrassed and mumbled weakly, "Nothing, really."
Yang Qian squinted her eyes. "What did you just say about the comic department? I heard it all. Speak up!"
Her expression was so intimidating that the subordinates couldn't bear the psychological pressure and told the truth.
"It's Gu Sisi."
It turned out that not long ago, a man came to see Gu Sisi. Since the man was very good - looking, combined with the previous rumors, some malicious people took notice and spread the news.
Of course, it wasn't a good thing. As usual, they were slandering Gu Sisi, saying she was "amazing".
"Shut up!" Yang Qian said fiercely.
Her employees fell silent and didn't dare to talk anymore.
Yang Qian snorted and rushed downstairs to the reception room, which was where, according to her subordinates, Sister Sisi had met someone.
The anger was still written all over her face. Obviously, there were still people looking at the reception room with strange looks.
Without thinking, Yang Qian pushed open the door, and the people around scattered.
The two people who were talking heard the sound and looked up.
"Qianqian," Gu Sisi called out.
Yang Qian slammed the door shut. She thought those people were so powerful, but now they had run far away. Cowards.
"Sister Sisi, listen to me..." Yang Qian wanted to tell Gu Sisi about the rumors outside, but when she turned around and saw the person in front of Sister Sisi, she suddenly stopped.
"What?" Gu Sisi asked in confusion.
Jiang Lihao didn't expect Yang Qian to come either. His face changed a bit, but then he quickly regained his composure.
Now wasn't the time to talk about this. Yang Qian made a silent conclusion in her heart.
"What are you doing here?" Yang Qian questioned.
It was because of him that Sister Sisi was slandered again.
The tone was inexplicably unfriendly. Jiang Lihao didn't feel good about it. He wasn't here to see her anyway.
"I have something to do," he said coldly.
"What kind of business needs to be discussed here?" Yang Qian asked.
"Does it concern you?" Jiang Lihao retorted.
The two suddenly started arguing. Just as Yang Qian was about to speak again and it seemed the argument would never end,
"Qianqian, do you have something to tell me?" Gu Sisi asked.
Yang Qian nodded. It was not a good time to speak, so her face turned red. She glared at Jiang Lihao fiercely.
"Don't be in a hurry. Sit down first. He just dropped by to see me," Gu Sisi explained gently.
Yang Qian couldn't just leave now. She was afraid those idle people outside would add fuel to the fire.
Yang Qian turned her face away awkwardly and sat down beside Gu Sisi.
"Then, sister - in - law, there's not much else I need to say. You must give the stuff to Brother Huo personally," Jiang Lihao said calmly. "Sister - in - law, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Saying that, Jiang Lihao stood up.
"Wait a minute," Gu Sisi called out. Looking at the time, she said, "It's almost noon. Have lunch with us before you go."
"No need..." Jiang Lihao was about to decline.
Yang Qian frowned and asked in confusion, "Sister Sisi, are you worried he has no food to eat?"
Although Gu Sisi didn't understand why the conflict between the two had suddenly erupted, she was about to explain and mediate.
"Sure," Jiang Lihao smiled and agreed, seemingly not taking Yang Qian's words to heart at all.
It seemed impossible to mediate the situation now. She would talk to them later.
"Do you want to go with us?" Gu Sisi asked Yang Qian.
Yang Qian hesitated. On one hand, she didn't want this scene to fall into the eyes of those with ulterior motives. On the other hand, she didn't want to sit at the same table with Jiang Lihao.
"What does she need to go for?"
"I'm going anyway."
The two started bickering again. It was already noon. Gu Sisi randomly chose a restaurant and led the two of them in.
After the three ordered their set meals, Gu Sisi said to Jiang Lihao, "Thank you in advance for the silver bracelets."
Seeing Yang Qian's confused look, Gu Sisi explained, "He came to ask me about the baby's hand and foot measurements just now. He wants to make a pair of silver bracelets for my baby."
Yang Qian silently thought, "Sure enough, it's the way rich people do things."
"I'm the baby's uncle. What's wrong with giving a pair of bracelets? What have you given to the baby, anyway?"
"How do you know I haven't given anything?"
The two started arguing again.
The atmosphere was really strange this time. Gu Sisi couldn't help but have some wild thoughts.
She joked, "Why don't you two just get together?"
As soon as she said this, the two who had been so arrogant fell silent and stopped talking. It was completely quiet.
Gu Sisi could tell there was something going on. It wasn't good for her to interfere. She quickly changed the topic.
"These days, only Huo Cheng can calm the baby down at night," Gu Sisi told them how Huo Cheng had started holding the baby often and now the baby couldn't do without him, which even made him lose sleep at night.
They found it funny and laughed.
At this moment, Jiang Lihao saw someone outside the window.
"Hey, isn't that your boyfriend? Why isn't he having lunch with you?" Jiang Li stared out of the window and smiled.
Gu Sisi looked in the direction he was looking. Sure enough, the man was wearing a company badge. This was the guy Yang Qian had said she had broken up with quickly.
She looked at Yang Qian. Yang Qian's face looked a bit ugly. Gu Sisi was just about to change the topic.
"How do you know he won't come to have lunch with me? I'll go and call him," Yang Qian said and then got up and left.
No one knew what the two said outside, but finally the man followed her in.
"Sit across from me," Yang Qian said. The three of them were originally sitting at a four - person table, and Yang Qian was sitting next to Gu Sisi. So the man Yang Qian brought in sat next to Jiang Lihao.
"Nice to meet you for the first time. Let me introduce myself. I'm from the post - production department of the company. My name is Zhang Zhe. You can just call me by my name."
