Chapter 256 The Villain Boss Doesn't Need Redemption 7
Since Xu Wei fell ill, Huo Chen has basically been in charge of the Xu Group, only needing to report to Xu Wei from time to time.
Xu Wei does trust Huo Chen quite a bit, so it's not impossible for Huo Chen to do something underhanded if he wanted to.
Many people in the company have begun to subtly take sides, after all, Xu Wei's health is not good, and Miss Xu doesn't care about company affairs at all.
This company will probably fall into Huo Chen's hands sooner or later, so it's better to sell it to Huo Chen sooner rather than later.
So when Yunqing came to the company after having lunch with her father, many people were wondering what was going on.
Why is this young lady suddenly at the company? Did Chairman Xu give some instructions? Or is Chairman Xu not doing well?
In the president's office, Ye Liang, the design director, sat across from Huo Chen at his desk, sizing him up, and asked, "I heard you couldn't even meet with the business partner you had arranged yesterday. What's wrong with Miss Xu this time? You're not broken any arms or legs, are you alright with internal injuries?"
Ye Liang and Huo Chen were high school classmates and had always been good friends, so they spoke quite casually.
Huo Chen put down the documents in his hand, took off his glasses, leaned back in his chair, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said in a deep voice, "Shut up!"
Ye Liang looked completely bewildered. Why are you being so fierce? Did you get upset with the young lady and are you taking it out on me?
Fine, I'll let you off the hook because you're so pitiful...
and many more!
"Huo Chen, those are teeth marks on your hand?"
Huo Chen paused for a moment, put his hand down, touched the teeth marks that had not completely faded, and lowered his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Ye Liang winked at him with a gossipy look, "You've got something going on, huh? When are you going to bring it out to meet us?"
After saying that, he clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't expect you to be so wild!"
Huo Chen glanced at him. "Are you very free?"
Ye Liang tapped the desk with the rolled-up paper tube in his hand, looking heartbroken, and said, "President Huo, I'm just concerned about you! How can you be so ungrateful!"
As a result, he knocked the paper tube he was holding a few times and it broke apart.
Huo Chen glanced at the photo on the paper and found the person in it to be somewhat familiar.
Seeing him staring at the resume, Ye Liang said, "I need an assistant, don't I? I just went for an interview."
Huo Chen frowned. "This is the assistant you chose?"
Ye Liang explained, "Although Xue Ling's academic qualifications are a bit lacking, she performed quite well during the interview. We might as well give her a chance and see how she performs."
Huo Chen glanced at him and said unhappily, "When did the Xu Group become so desperate for people that it's willing to take anyone? There are plenty of excellent talents available to you, why do you have to give a chance to someone who doesn't meet your standards?"
Under normal circumstances, Xue Ling shouldn't have had a chance to attend the interview. I don't know how she managed to get in.
Ye Liang argued, "She's not that bad. Many of her ideas are surprisingly compatible with mine. When I'm looking for an assistant, I definitely want someone who's more compatible!"
"Are you sure... she genuinely shares your beliefs, and isn't just pandering to you?"
Ye Liang was shocked. "No way? Did she really go to the trouble of investigating me so thoroughly? Just to become a junior assistant?"
does it worth?
And why would someone with such great abilities, who has thoroughly investigated him inside and out, choose to be a mere assistant?
Huo Chen's eyes held a hint of gloom as he said, "In short, this person has too many ulterior motives. I don't want to see her at the company, understand?"
Ye Liang nodded. "Alright, if she really investigates me, I'd feel uneasy having someone like that around."

Xue Ling was in a pretty good mood when she came downstairs after the interview.
Although she was only told to go home and wait for a notification after the interview, judging from Director Ye's attitude, she should have passed the interview.
She couldn't help but feel a little relieved; thankfully, it was Ye Liang who came to interview her in person.
At first, listening to the conversations of the other interviewees, her heart sank to the bottom. Those people were so outstanding that she felt out of place among them.
Fortunately, she had a deep impression of Ye Liang, a supporting character, when she read the novel, since he was someone close to the villainous boss she was so infatuated with.
Although the book doesn't focus much on Ye Liang, it at least gave her some insights into him that others didn't have.
Only then could she cater to his preferences and make Ye Liang treat her differently.
Just as she was feeling happy, she suddenly saw Yun Qing's figure. She quickly avoided him, worried that if Yun Qing found out that she was about to start working at the Xu Group, he would cause trouble.
Yun Qing didn't see her, nor did she pay attention to the curious gazes of the company's employees, and walked straight towards the president's office.
In the office, Ye Liang was still curiously asking Huo Chen, "Who is this person? You seem to know him quite well."
Yun Qing didn't even knock; she just pushed the door open and walked in. "What do you mean, 'know everything'?"
Huo Chen glanced at her, then put on his glasses, got up, and walked over, showing no surprise at her appearance.
Ye Liang's expression changed; he looked at Yun Qing, then at Huo Chen, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Yun Qing slapped her bag into Huo Chen's arms, sat down on the sofa, kicked off her high heels, and beckoned to him with her finger, "Come here."
Yun Qing was wearing a rather short skirt today. When Huo Chen walked up to her and lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on her shapely and fair legs.
His gaze paused for a moment, then slowly shifted away, before settling on her fair and delicate feet.
Yun Qing stretched out her foot and kicked his leg, saying lazily, "My foot hurts, let me massage it."
Ye Liang couldn't help but feel indignant. What did Miss Xu take Huo Chen for?
Huo Chen suddenly spoke up: "Ye Liang, get out."
Ye Liang felt a surge of anger in his heart, thinking that Huo Chen didn't want him to see his humiliated state with his self-esteem trampled on, so he left the office without saying a word.
Huo Chen sat down at the other end of the sofa. Yun Qing turned to the side, put her feet on his lap, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "What's that expression on his face? Is he unhappy with me? It seems you two have a good relationship. Does his unhappiness with me mean you're unhappy with me?"
She tried to kick him as she spoke, but Huo Chen held her leg down.
Yun Qing, who had been relatively calm, instantly exploded again, "Huo Chen! Are you trying to rebel?!"
Huo Chen held down her leg with one hand and reached out to her with the other, saying, "Bite."
Yun Qing slapped his hand away. "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Under her glare, Huo Chen had no choice but to let go of her leg. She kicked him twice, and then he took off his suit jacket and covered her thighs with it.
Yun Qing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly sat up straight, grabbed his tie, pulled him close, and stared at him fiercely, asking, "What did you see?"
"I didn't see it."
"Didn't I see you taking off your clothes?"
Huo Chen's Adam's apple bobbed, but before he could speak, Yun Qing attacked again, "You actually swallowed your saliva!"
As she spoke, she poked Huo Chen's Adam's apple with her finger.
Huo Chen grabbed her hand, his eyes dark and his voice hoarse, but his tone remained as calm as ever, "Miss... you can't touch her Adam's apple."
Yun Qing retorted defiantly, "So what if I touched you? Let go!"
Huo Chen pursed his lips and didn't let go.
Yun Qing glared at him and sneered, "So afraid of me touching you? Tell me! Do you have some dirty thoughts?"
Huo Chen glanced at her, his eyes behind his glasses flashing a dark and dangerous light for a moment, but quickly regained their composure, so fast it was almost an illusion.
He lowered his eyes and said softly, "No."
Not filthy, not filthy.
Yun Qing shook off his hand and sneered, "I knew you wouldn't dare!"
