This was torture for Qi Nian. Usually, Qi Nian thought he would immediately agree to Huo Yan like he always did, but this time he hesitated.
"Don't forget what I told you." With these words, Huo Yan left with her assistant.
Perhaps because Qi Nian was usually so good-tempered, Huo Yan assumed he would agree.
After Huo Yan left, the figure of Huo Cheng appeared in Qi Nian's mind.
"I can let you do what you like."
"Whatever you want, I can satisfy you. You can develop in my subsidiary related to the Internet."
"Your great talent shouldn't be wasted."
"Do you think Huo Yan really treats you well?"
"..."
Huo Cheng's words kept churning in Qi Nian's heart, and finally stopped at this one.
Does she really treat me well?
Qi Nian was also asking himself. He knew very well how Huo Yan treated him on a daily basis.
He knew that Huo Yan had a bad temper, but he thought her heart was kind. He believed that if it hadn't been for Huo Yan back then, there wouldn't be the current Qi Nian.
Back then, Qi Nian was deceived by his previous boss. He had no money and was almost imprisoned.
It was also Huo Yan at that time who saved him from trouble, gave him a job, a house, and protected his reputation. It could be said that everything Qi Nian had now was given by Huo Yan.
Just based on this, Qi Nian thought he should resolutely refuse, but for some reason, he still hesitated.
You shouldn't think like this. Huo Yan has been kind to you!
Qi Nian put his hands on his head and pounded it hard.
At this moment, the computer rang.
It took a while for Qi Nian to raise his head.
He saw an email on the screen: After you read this, Huoshi will always welcome you.
The sender was Huo Cheng.
After struggling for a while in his heart, Qi Nian still opened it.
It was a very long document with a large amount of information.
From initial nonchalance to later disbelief, these were all Qi Nian's feelings while reading this email.
This email detailed Qi Nian's previous failed work experience, making him understand the whole truth and at the same time cutting off all his illusions.
The windows were tightly closed, and the curtains were drawn. During the daytime, the light in the room was no different from that at night.
Qi Nian just sat there. Unknowingly, it got dark.
There was a pack of cigarettes beside him. Qi Nian didn't like smoking usually. He would only smoke a couple of cigarettes occasionally to refresh himself when writing code at midnight.
This pack of cigarettes had been bought for more than half a month, and there was still more than half left. Now, they were all gone.
Looking at the cigarette ashes and butts all over the floor, Qi Nian smiled bitterly. When had he ever been so sloppy?
The phone flashed on and off. Looking at the text messages popping up one by one, they were all sent by Huo Yan.
At first, she kindly explained the details of the "acting" to Qi Nian. Probably because she was worried about Qi Nian's dull personality, and since Qi Nian didn't reply, Huo Yan began to explode later.
There were also messages from her assistant, asking Qi Nian to reply quickly, otherwise the young miss would explode. Qi Nian could even feel the assistant's despair through the screen.
Oh~
If it had been the previous Qi Nian, missing so many messages would have made him very self - blaming and uncomfortable. He should be holding the phone and carefully replying, apologizing to Huo Yan and explaining why he didn't reply in time.
But today, Qi Nian didn't want to move.
"Huo Yan, you've deceived me so badly."
Qi Nian exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes cold.
Why did I only understand now?
Qi Nian was also asking himself. Huo Yan had clearly shown so many flaws, but he just chose to believe.
He probably thought that although Huo Yan seemed domineering, her heart was actually very kind, and she was a person with a hard mouth but a soft heart. What Qi Nian didn't expect was that Huo Yan was really as vicious as a snake.
Qi Nian just sat there, watching the messages on the phone scroll continuously. He seemed to be frozen.
The cigarette was held between Qi Nian's two fingers. Soon it burned his finger. The burning pain immediately reminded Qi Nian. He now began to realize how stupid he had been.
After a long time, Qi Nian still picked up the phone and began to reply one by one.
"Ms. Huo, I'm sorry. I just fell asleep and just saw this. I'm really sorry. I won't do this again."
"Don't worry. I've remembered everything you said. I won't let you down."
"Sorry, buddy. I didn't see it just now."
Qi Nian thought he had really made progress. He didn't know before that he could be so hypocritical.
This was completely different from Qi Nian's usual way of speaking, but Huo Yan didn't suspect. Naturally, after receiving Qi Nian's reply, Huo Yan calmed down. After replying with an "Okay", she didn't send any more messages.
At this time, another message popped up. It was from Huo Yan's assistant:
"Thank you, buddy. You saved my life."
Perhaps Huo Yan wasn't angry at this time.
Qi Nian picked up the cigarette in his hand and took a deep puff, as if he was inhaling some life - saving immortal energy. He instantly felt energized.
He put his hand in his pocket and felt around. He took out a business card that Huo Cheng's assistant had given him before he left. He had just taken it out of courtesy at that time, but he didn't expect he would really use it.
When dialing the number, Qi Nian didn't hesitate at all.
"Hello." Huo Cheng answered quickly, as if he knew Qi Nian would call.
"Mr. Qi seems to have made up his mind?" Huo Cheng chuckled on the other end.
"Yes. As Mr. Huo wishes, I'll join your team. Is the promise Mr. Huo made before still valid?" Qi Nian tilted his head, his voice extremely tired. Huo Cheng even suspected that the person on the other end of the phone was about to run out of breath.
"Of course it's valid. Mr. Qi, I've said that as long as you want, Huoshi will always be waiting for your arrival."
"Okay. Mr. Huo, there's no need to say these things. I think I have something here that Mr. Huo must be interested in." Qi Nian didn't want to listen to Huo Cheng's words. He remembered that Huo Yan had said the same thing back then, but what was the result?
In Qi Nian's eyes, there was no difference between Huo Yan and Huo Cheng. They were all the same kind of people with schemes in their hearts.
Qi Nian wasn't stupid enough to believe Huo Cheng as blindly as he had believed Huo Yan. He didn't believe that the promise Huo Cheng made would definitely come true.
These promises were exactly the same as what Huo Yan had given him back then. It was just that the previous Qi Nian was too stupid. He didn't even ask and just blindly followed.
Thinking of himself back then, he was really stupid. Qi Nian casually sent what Huo Yan had just sent him to Huo Cheng.
