Gu Sisi pursed her lips.
She knew that Huo Cheng must have arranged for someone to ask for leave on her behalf. This reason was quite reasonable.
"It's okay, it's okay. Don't worry. It's just like a common viral cold. Once you recover, it won't have any impact on your body," Gu Sisi emphasized deliberately.
She was afraid that her colleagues and superiors would form a false impression that she was in poor health.
If they really thought so and felt that she was incompetent for any work, it would be a great loss.
Huang Fangjuan nodded with a smile and heaved a sigh of relief.
"That's good. We were all worried about you when we talked about you. It's been such a long time."
Gu Sisi waved her hand. "It has really been a long time. I also need to make up for the work I missed during this period."
She sat down at her desk. Before she could settle down, something suddenly appeared in front of her.
Gu Sisi looked up in confusion. It was Huang Fangjuan's face. "Sister Juan, what's this?"
"We were busy some time ago, so we didn't visit you. By the time we were free, you were already back. We all wanted to make it up to you, so we bought some things."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone brought something and put it in front of Gu Sisi.
One after another, they kept coming until there was a pile in front of Gu Sisi.
She finally managed to say, "This... this?"
She understood what Sister Juan meant, but did everyone buy something?
"This is everyone's kindness. Just accept it," Sister Juan patted Gu Sisi on the shoulder.
Gu Sisi stared at the pile in front of her. There were dolls, all kinds of snacks, and even some valuable items. All in all, these things were worth quite a lot.
However, among these people, Gu Sisi had only talked to most of them a few times. After all, she had joined the drama crew soon after starting work and had always been with Sister Juan.
Didn't they worry that she might not stay in this company for long, or might leave in a few days after coming back this time?
In the past, Gu Sisi was the senior in the company and always took care of others.
Now, the feeling of being taken care of was actually quite nice.
Gu Sisi felt complicated, with a mix of joy and worry in her heart.
Most importantly, she wasn't really sick. So, more than anything, she felt a bit strange, as if she had deceived their sincere feelings.
"Then I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight," Gu Sisi said hesitantly, afraid that others would not agree and she wouldn't be able to make it up.
Hearing this, the people around put down their work and looked at each other. Sister Juan nodded. "That's good. Today is the day when Sisi returns to work, and she's recovered from her illness. It's worth celebrating."
"Then we'll trouble you. You should really spend a lot today," someone said exaggeratedly.
Several people expressed their agreement, and the others echoed.
"It's my pleasure, it's my pleasure," Gu Sisi said with a smile.
Gu Sisi didn't have high expectations when she came to this company, but in this kind of environment, she felt a bit lucky and was grateful for her good fortune.
If it weren't for this place, Gu Sisi wouldn't have made such rapid progress, nor would she have experienced such considerate care. Although she wasn't really sick, she still felt warm in her heart.
This was an unexpected fortune for Gu Sisi.
...
"Mr. Huo," Chen Fang rushed over. Huo Cheng was buried in his work. Hearing the sound, he didn't move at all.
"What's up?" Huo Cheng asked softly.
A look of hesitation flashed across Chen Fang's face, but thinking of the urgency, he immediately said, "Mr. Huo, we investigated last time and found no abnormalities among the people around the person who kidnapped the young mistress. But after our re - investigation, we found something strange."
Huo Cheng frowned, and a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"The mother of the criminal's wife had an extra two million in her bank card," Chen Fang pointed out the unreasonable point.
The economic situation of the family of the criminal who kidnapped Gu Sisi and died was very ordinary, even poor. It was extremely unreasonable for such a large amount of money to appear in such a family.
"Have you investigated the source?"
Chen Fang nodded. "I checked the source. The card number shows that... " He paused for a moment and then continued, "It's from the second young master of the Huo family."
Finally, there was a clue to this matter.
"What do you want from me?" The second young master of the Huo family folded his arms and stared closely at the person in front of him.
This time, it was Huo Cheng who invited him to meet in a private room without telling him the purpose.
Huo Cheng didn't say a word. He didn't speak directly.
Instead, he leisurely sipped the tea in his cup. After finishing it, he raised his eyebrows, as if he had just noticed the person sitting in front of him.
"Second brother, have you been very busy recently? You don't even have the time to sit down and have a cup of tea with me?" Huo Cheng hooked the corner of his mouth and lowered his eyes. It was hard to tell what was in them.
The second young master of the Huo family sneered and looked at the tea in his cup, shaking his head. "I don't think we're in a relationship where we can sit and have tea leisurely."
"Then what kind of relationship do you think we are? Mutual harm?" Huo Cheng looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
The second young master of the Huo family didn't know what Huo Cheng meant, but he still played it safe. "It's whatever you think it is."
"I don't think my opinion counts," Huo Cheng stood up, took out a photo from his sleeve and put it in front of him. "Do you know this person, second brother?"
The photo in front of him was exactly the photo of the person who kidnapped Gu Sisi that night. The second young master of the Huo family didn't even take a look. He stood up. "If you just want me to recognize someone, I can tell you in advance that I know nothing."
With that, he was about to leave.
"Then you should not forget that you transferred two million to him," Huo Cheng said calmly.
The person who had walked a few steps turned back and twitched the corner of his mouth. "What do you mean?"
Huo Cheng stood up and got closer. "Do you need me to read out your card number, second brother?"
He fell silent and stood still.
Huo Cheng sneered. "Indeed, you're right. We are in a relationship of mutual harm."
The second young master of the Huo family didn't refute. "Are you just finding out now? Even if it was me, so what?"
Huo Cheng spread his hands. "It's nothing. I just want to confirm before I take action and find a good opportunity by the way."
The second young master of the Huo family's face changed greatly. "What are you going to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door and the area behind Huo Cheng were filled with people.
There was no place to hide in this room.
It was about six o'clock in the afternoon, still early. Even if something happened to the second young master of the Huo family now, no one would notice.
Just as Huo Cheng was about to raise his hand to give the order to take action, his phone rang.
"What? Speak!" Huo Cheng said concisely.
"Mr. Huo, something is wrong," it was Chen Fang's voice. At this moment, he was staring closely at the computer, looking at the second young master of the Huo family's transfer records.
"Three days before the last transfer, there was another transfer. There was a three - day interval between the last transfer and the actual action."
"So, I suspect that the young mistress is in danger."
