the other side.
Zhou Ning sat on the sofa, looking at his phone intently.
To be precise, it was the message that Ruan Huan sent to her.
Although she didn't go to the scene, but from the photos and videos sent by Ruan Huan, she could feel how warm the atmosphere was.
"looking at what?"
Hearing this, Zhou Ning raised her eyes and saw Huo Qingzhou walking towards her.
She put down her phone and answered truthfully.
Huo Qingzhou also glanced and said, "If you want to go, you can tell me."
It would be an easy matter for him to arrange it.
"I'm fine," Zhou Ning responded. "There are a lot of people at the concert. I'm pregnant now, so I don't want to go to a crowded place."
After he finished speaking, he vaguely noticed that Huo Qingzhou's expression had changed.
As a woman, once you get pregnant, you do have to sacrifice a lot.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Zhou Ning took the initiative to say, "If Huanhuan has the opportunity to hold a concert in the future, can you take me with you?"
Huo Qingzhou looked into her big, clear eyes and nodded firmly.
Zhou Ning never thought that there would be a day when her wish would come true.
It is also hard to imagine how touching the scene would be if the important people were right beside you and in front of you.
The next day, after Zhou Ning finished her work at school, she was taken to the Huo Group by a driver.
In fact, she could have gone back to Jiangcheng Mansion directly, but Huo Qingzhou insisted on letting her go. She didn't know why, but it was probably because he had taken her to the company for the first time that day and it became a habit.
Arriving at the president's office floor, Zhou Ning prepared to go directly to Huo Qingzhou's office.
On the way, I met an employee from the secretarial office.
The other party greeted Zhou Ning with a smile and greeted her warmly.
Zhou Ning was stunned at first. This attitude was very different from before. She also responded politely.
The man continued, "Miss Zhou, what would you like to drink? I'll prepare it and bring it to you in person later."
Zhou Ning was a little flattered and shook her head: "It's okay, no need to trouble you."
"Why would it be troublesome? I couldn't ask for more."
At this time, another person came over and smiled attentively: "Miss Zhou, I have delicious candied fruits and nuts here, would you like to try some?"
Zhou Ning shook his head politely.
Why did she feel that everyone was surprisingly enthusiastic today?
He Mei was the only one sitting at her workstation indignantly. Seeing this scene, she was in a bad mood, especially when she saw that everyone wanted to curry favor with Zhou Ning. Did they really think she was the future Mrs. Huo? !
Although she was very unhappy, she also knew that everything had to be done slowly and she must not be impatient and disrupt the original plan.
She couldn't sit still any longer, so she angrily walked to the tea room, poured herself a glass of water, tilted her head back and took a big sip.
As a result, I was almost scalded to death.
Her face was twisted from the burns and she wanted to throw the cup to the ground. Even this damn boiling water was against her!
How can she speak if her tongue is burned!
After Zhou Ning responded politely, she walked straight into Huo Qingzhou's office.
Huo Qingzhou was sitting at his desk, dealing with the things at hand. He saw that Zhou Ning had not been picked up yet, and just now he wanted to pick up his phone to send Zhou Ning a message.
Unexpectedly, when I thought of "Cao Cao", "Cao Cao" appeared.
He put down his phone and focused his eyes on Zhou Ning. When he noticed that she was holding a bag, he asked, "What is this?"
Zhou Ning was about to say this when he walked up to him and said, "These employees under you insisted on giving them to me."
She was almost overwhelmed by their enthusiasm.
When Huo Qingzhou heard this, perhaps thinking of the unpleasant incident last time, he frowned slightly and waved his hand, "Bring it here for me to see."
Zhou Ning did as he was told and handed the bag to him.
The man checked carefully and found nothing serious, so he stopped talking.
"Can I eat it?"
Zhou Ning asked from the side.
She thinks it's better to be cautious in everything.
Huo Qingzhou nodded: "Of course, eat if you like, and don't worry about returning the gift, I will take care of the employees."
Since it was given by the employees with kindness, Huo Qingzhou could of course see their intention to curry favor with him, but he didn't want Zhou Ning to push it back and forth if he forced it on her.
He will return the gift some other day.
This way you don’t have to owe money to outsiders.
Zhou Ning finally felt relieved. Since she became pregnant, her appetite had increased, and she knew she needed to take in nutrition at all times.
While Huo Qingzhou was busy, she obediently sat at her own small table and prepared to eat nuts, but the shells of these nuts were difficult to peel.
I finally peeled it open and ate one.
Huo Qingzhou naturally noticed it.
He pondered for a moment, picked up the phone and notified Zhang Cai to come in.
Not long after, Zhang Cai walked in with a smile. After greeting the two of them, he looked at Huo Qingzhou respectfully: "Boss Huo, do you have any instructions?"
Huo Qingzhou: "I have a very important task for you."
Very important?!
Zhang Cai noticed this word, his eyes lit up and his back straightened.
"Boss Huo, just tell me what mission you have. I will go through fire and water, risk my life, to complete the mission."
As he said this, his face was full of pride.
President Huo wants to assign him an important task, which shows his full trust in him. It also shows that he is definitely President Huo's right-hand man!
But when Huo Qingzhou finished talking about the assigned task, he was almost dumbfounded.
His eyes subconsciously glanced at Zhou Ning's table, or to be more precise, at the nuts on her table.
Mr. Huo assigned him the task of processing these nuts for Zhou Ning? In layman's terms, peeling the shells...
What kind of important task is this?
"Don't want to?"
When Zhang Cai met Huo Qingzhou's mysterious eyes, he immediately shook his head: "No, no, of course not. I am more than willing to take on such a great mission!"
Considering that Zhou Ning is a very important person around Mr. Huo, this is indeed a very important matter.
He walked up to Zhou Ning with a smile, picked up the nuts, and prepared to deal with them.
Zhou Ning was surprised and a little embarrassed: "Assistant Zhang, it's okay, I can do it myself, no need to trouble you."
"It's not a big deal," Zhang Cai said with a smile, "It's just a simple matter and will be done quickly. Miss Zhou, just sit here and wait for your meal."
What's his problem?
He gets paid to peel the shells!
Although Zhou Ning felt a little embarrassed after eating the peeled nuts, she felt warm inside.
Huo Qingzhou's voice rang out beside him: "We are going back to attend the family banquet in a few days. You need to go to the dress shop to buy a nice dress. I'm busy these two days and don't have time to take you there. You see..."
Knowing that he was very busy, Zhou Ning expressed her understanding: "It's okay, I can ask Huanhuan to accompany me to choose clothes then."
Huo Qingzhou was relieved.
Zhou Ning was thinking about what Huo Qingzhou had just said in her mind, and she didn't know what would happen at the Huo family's family dinner.
She had never attended such an occasion before, and she was very grateful that Huo Qingzhou took the initiative to invite her to go along this time.
Thinking of this, she decided to call Ruan Huan later to see if she was available.
