Chapter 234 The Puppy Wagging Its Tail
Being called "Madam" at the Huo family's place felt a little strange to Jiang Qin, but she didn't say much, just smiled politely and stepped into the elevator.
The VIP elevator goes directly to the floor where the president's office is located.
Since Secretary Jiang left and Secretary Fu was fired for stealing trade secrets, Assistant He, who already held a high position, has become even more prominent.
Therefore, the fact that He Xu personally led people up made many people curious, and they couldn't help but steal a glance, thinking that they could see what the important person looked like so that they could avoid unknowingly offending him and suffering the consequences.
The next second, many people's eyes widened, and then they quickly covered their mouths.
After exchanging glances with a familiar long-time employee, I confirmed it, and was shocked once again!
One of the young female employees, who was more delighted than surprised, stared intently at Jiang Qin.
The gaze was exceptionally strong, and Jiang Qin, with her keen senses, naturally sensed it.
Looking back, she saw a familiar face; the female employee was waving at her.
"Sister Qin!" It was Lin Xiaoyu.
Three years have passed, and the newbie who just entered the workforce back then has now developed the demeanor of a strong woman, capable and elegant.
Jiang Qin paused for a moment, feeling genuinely happy and gratified.
He smiled and waved at Lin Xiaoyu, "Xiao Lin."
Lin Xiaoyu was so moved she almost cried, and then, *plop*, she really did cry.
But Jiang Qin obviously didn't have much time to catch up, and soon turned around and continued walking towards the president's office.
He Xu pushed open the door to the president's office and invited Jiang Qin in.
Upon entering, Jiang Qin saw that besides Huo Sili and Wen Chen, there was also a man next to Wen Chen.
The other person was organizing documents. When they saw her, they greeted her and quickly left.
"Mr. Wen, I'll go to the lounge and wait for you."
"Mm," Wen Chen hummed in response.
He Xu didn't come in either. After Jiang Qin went inside, He Xu closed the door and stayed outside.
Suddenly, only Jiang Qin, Huo Sili, and Wen Chen remained in the room.
The layout of the president's office had been changed, and it seemed to have been renovated. Jiang Qin noticed that her original office chair was gone, as were the desk and chair that Fu Rongying had added when she left.
The filing cabinet at the back has also been moved, and many details are different now.
The house used to be bright, but now it has been remodeled into the cold, business-like style of the former Huo family mansion, Meiyuan. It looks cold and business-like, like a showroom.
The feeling of familiar things being drastically altered in one's memory is unpleasant.
But thinking about what the old housekeeper had said, Jiang Qin frowned slightly, but quickly adjusted her mindset.
Yes, he was depressed, and if he came into contact with information about her again, he would definitely be in great pain.
Therefore, changing this place is perfectly normal.
Huo Sili and Wen Chen sat facing each other on the sofa, with a coffee table in the middle. On the coffee table were fresh fruits, snacks and tea, and there were traces of tea in the teacups.
Jiang Qin glanced around. Sitting next to Wen Chen was obviously inappropriate, but she didn't want to sit next to Huo Sili either.
She simply sat down on the single sofa directly in front of the two people.
Huo Sili pursed his lips slightly, his eyes seeming somewhat hurt, and looked over, "Qinqin, sit next to me."
Wen Chen, who was married, really didn't want to get involved in the couple's affairs, especially since he knew his brother was a jealous person.
She quickly poured herself a cup of tea and drank it sip by sip, trying to minimize her presence and hide her embarrassment.
Unexpectedly, his brother's wife ignored his words and looked directly at him.
"Mr. Wen, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Wen Chen paused, glanced at Huo Sili opposite him, and felt a truly complicated feeling.
Horst looked over, his eyes scrutinizing and probing.
Wen Chen was speechless. He turned his head to face Jiang Qin, but his manner was as polite and gentle as ever.
"Mrs. Huo, what do you say? If I can help, I certainly will."
“You can help,” Jiang Qin said.
Then, she summarized to Wen Chen the numerous obstacles that Su Lejia and Zhou Junxuan had encountered in getting their hotel deposits refunded.
Wen Chen's face darkened. "I really didn't know about Mrs. Huo's best friend's matter, but after the incident at this branch was exposed, I immediately sent people to investigate, and they did find that more than one room had cameras installed."
"I punished the store manager immediately. I guess he was unhappy about being fined, so he insisted on not giving a refund. I'm sorry, I was too lenient, thinking that he was a long-time employee and this was the first time he had gotten into trouble in six years."
At this point, Wen Chen's expression turned even uglier.
Across from him, Huo Sili stared intently at Jiang Qin, his gaze fixed on her as if afraid of being disturbed by outsiders.
As the two were talking, Huo Sili quietly went over and locked the door from the inside, then sat back down on the sofa, very close to Jiang Qin.
"Okay, Mrs. Huo, I'll send someone to handle this right away. Later, have your best friend check her bank card to see if she's received the refund. If not, have Silly call me. Once the police have their results, I'll fire the person in charge."
"Okay, then I'll thank Mr. Wen on behalf of my best friend." This was undoubtedly the best outcome.
Jiang Qin was about to leave.
However, before she could leave, Wen Chen took the lead, refusing to be a third wheel.
"I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now. Mr. and Mrs. Huo, please continue your conversation."
Click, the door opened, then slammed shut with a soft thud.
Jiang Qin looked on with envy, because almost at the same time as she got up from the single sofa, Huo Sili, who was sitting very close to her on the long sofa next to her, quickly grabbed her hand.
"Qinqin, let's have dinner together? I did help you out, after all."
His voice carried a humble pleading tone. Jiang Qin pursed her pink lips slightly, recalling a little dog she had seen wagging its tail and begging for mercy on a rainy day when she was a child.
