As soon as Huo Yan returned to her room, she flew into a rage, throwing and smashing things with great fanfare.
The maids beside her wanted to dissuade her but couldn't. Some of them were even used to Huo Yan's tantrums.
Huo Yan's assistant was standing outside the door. From time to time, the assistant had to dodge the things thrown by Huo Yan. But sometimes, it was too late to avoid them, and the assistant was in quite a mess.
"Go and call Qi Nian here for me," Huo Yan pointed at the assistant at the door and shouted.
The assistant was obviously stunned by her lion's roar. It took several seconds to steady the figure.
"But Ms. Huo, if we call Qi Nian here now, it may attract attention in the Huo Mansion. I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Fortunately, the assistant beside Huo Yan hadn't lost her wits.
These words made Huo Yan suddenly come to her senses. Indeed, Qi Nian's existence was a secret. If the Huo family found out that Huo Yan had secretly kept a computer expert, she wouldn't be able to explain herself, which was like walking straight into the muzzle of a gun.
Fortunately, Huo Yan reacted quickly and stopped her irrational behavior in time. But now, she couldn't wait to find Qi Nian.
"Go and drive. I'm going out. Take me to find Qi Nian," Huo Yan gave the order to the assistant again.
"Yes," the assistant left quickly. But what Huo Yan didn't notice was that the little maid beside her also left.
Since Huo Cheng had left the Huo Mansion, after this precedent, the order to ban their going out was actually in name only.
After getting in the car, Huo Yan noticed that the assistant was driving in the wrong direction and then asked:
"Aren't we going to the company?"
"No, Ms. Huo. Qi Nian hasn't come to work in the company for the past few days. He should be at home now. We'll go to his place to find him," the assistant replied truthfully.
"He's quite at ease," Huo Yan snorted.
The assistant driving the car hesitated to speak. In fact, the assistant really wanted to say that Qi Nian had encountered some things recently.
Qi Nian always hoped to make a career in the computer field. But with Huo Yan, she always held Qi Nian back and always made him do things that hackers did. Although the salary was quite high, these were all things that Qi Nian didn't like.
The assistant had a good relationship with Qi Nian. The assistant had heard Qi Nian complain about it when they were drinking before.
Thinking about Qi Nian, he was talented, a genius in the computer field. It was just that he was a bit unlucky. His previous boss only knew how to take advantage of him and even plagiarized what Qi Nian had created. In the end, the boss bit Qi Nian back. Not only didn't the boss give Qi Nian a single cent, but also made Qi Nian bear a lawsuit.
It was the same with Huo Yan. Although Huo Yan paid Qi Nian a high salary and he had money, what Qi Nian wanted still hadn't been achieved. Qi Nian wanted to do something, but Huo Yan never let him get involved. Instead, things like hacking, stealing passwords, changing passwords, and invading systems were all Qi Nian's business.
Qi Nian didn't like doing these things and even disliked them to some extent. He didn't think that just because one had certain skills, one must damage others to achieve one's own goals.
But the biggest difference between Qi Nian and Huo Yan was that Huo Yan was such a person, but Qi Nian wasn't.
If it weren't for the fact that it was Ms. Huo who had helped him when he was down and out, the assistant thought that Qi Nian would have left long ago.
The assistant silently lit a candle for Qi Nian in his heart. Now that the young miss was going there, he didn't know how she would throw a tantrum.
Qi Nian happened to have an extremely good temper. Every time Huo Yan lost her temper, he would keep silent. After Huo Yan finished venting, he would even prepare a cup of tea for her. He was simply the model of a warm - hearted man. The assistant even felt touched.
If it weren't for knowing what kind of girls Qi Nian liked, the assistant sometimes really thought that Qi Nian had feelings for Huo Yan.
Maybe it was just because Qi Nian thought that Huo Yan had helped him when he was in the most difficult time, so he would be like this. Otherwise, it was just that he was born with a good temper. Well, it must be so.
The assistant couldn't help but glance at Huo Yan in the rear - view mirror a few times. She was beautiful, but it was precisely because she was too beautiful. Coupled with her angry expression now, the assistant still thought she was a she - devil. Well... at most, a good - looking she - devil.
Soon, the assistant drove the car downstairs to Qi Nian's place.
"Ms. Huo, Qi Nian's home is on the 6th floor, Room 6302," the assistant opened the car door and stood aside respectfully.
"What? Aren't you going up with me?" Huo Yan asked in return.
Wasn't this to create an opportunity for the two of them? The assistant scratched his head and still asked Huo Yan, "Do you need me to, Ms. Huo?"
Huo Yan gave the assistant a sidelong glance. No one knew what it meant. She just left a sentence "Bring the computer" and walked forward.
It turned out that she had some work for Qi Nian again. The assistant shook his head helplessly. What was uncomfortable wasn't himself, but Qi Nian. I'm afraid Qi Nian would have to do the things he disliked most again this time. The assistant even felt sorry for Qi Nian.
Just as the assistant was thinking like this, when he took out the computer from the car and was about to close the car door, he suddenly saw Qi Nian walking into the community from outside.
"Qi Nian! Qi Nian! Over here..." The assistant shouted hoarsely several times, which even attracted Huo Yan in front. Huo Yan stopped in her tracks and naturally looked back and saw Qi Nian.
When the assistant raised his voice, he subconsciously looked at Huo Yan in front.
The assistant thought it would be a disaster, but unexpectedly, Huo Yan just stood there.
This really wasn't like her character, the assistant sighed.
The assistant, who didn't want to go to Qi Nian's place just now, suddenly wanted to go now to see what the situation was between Huo Yan and Qi Nian.
If Huo Yan's reaction was very abnormal, then Qi Nian's reaction was extremely abnormal.
Qi Nian seemed not to hear the assistant calling him at all. He looked dejected, and his clothes were a bit messy.
Oh my god, how did Qi Nian become like this? The assistant was very surprised. He looked like he had lost his soul.
"Qi Nian, you're back. I'm here with Ms. Huo," the assistant said the words "Ms. Huo" very clearly.
While saying this, the assistant winked at Qi Nian, hoping that Qi Nian could understand his meaning. But unfortunately, Qi Nian didn't understand.
"What's wrong? Don't wink like that. What's wrong with your eyes?"
The assistant said that he completely gave up. How could there be such a person in the world.
"Don't wink like that. What's wrong with your eyes?" This was really the first time the assistant had heard someone say this to him.
He was really a straight - laced man. Well, the assistant said he gave up. It wasn't that he didn't want to help his brother, but that his brother was just too inexperienced to be helped.
"Our Ms. Huo has something to talk to you about. Go quickly," the assistant waved his hand helplessly and led Qi Nian in front of Huo Yan.
