Chapter 159 Jiang An Awakens

Chapter 159 Jiang An Awakens

A simple sentence drew everyone's attention, and all eyes turned to this side.

Jiang Ruan's heart sank.

I knew he did it on purpose.

"Should I keep it here, or do you want to keep it yourself?" Huo Zhizhou asked when she didn't answer.

"I'll take it." Jiang Ruan took it casually, her words as natural as ever. "Otherwise, Sister Bai Jian will blame me for not packing properly when we get back."

In short, they described the key as business.

Huo Zhizhou's eyes were still on her.

Jiang Ruan felt uncertain and unconsciously tensed up.

At this point, all he needs to do is say that this isn't the company key, it's your house key, and everyone will start speculating about their relationship. At best, they'll say she has an improper relationship with him; at worst, they'll assume they're husband and wife.

"Don't be so careless next time." Huo Zhizhou changed the words he was about to say, not wanting to embarrass her, "You represent not only yourself, but also the team leader who is training you."

"Understood." Jiang Ruan was very obedient.

Huo Zhizhou didn't say anything more. After telling them to find their respective mentors, he left the game department and went to the president's office on the eighth floor. In addition to bringing Jiang Ruan, he also came here to inspect the situation of the branch company and to assess the performance of each department.

Huo Sinian is in charge of the Haicheng branch.

He pulled that stunt on him, so he should really check his professional skills.

"The managers and directors of all departments are waiting in the conference room." Jiang Te's assistant, holding a laptop, reported the situation. "Last night, except for the game department, all other departments spoke with Young Master Huo by phone."

Huo Zhizhou asked, "What was Huo Sinian's reaction?"

Jiang's Special Assistant: "No response. Tell them to report the truth and let us investigate."

Huo Zhizhou was not surprised by this answer at all. Huo Sinian was usually very meticulous in his work, and his ability to manage the company was no less than his.

The main reason he lost to him in the inheritance dispute was that Huo Sinian had concerns at the time and dared not take risks, while he was holding a grudge and took a desperate gamble.

Ultimately, they gained final decision-making power over the Huo Group.

The two quickly arrived at the conference room, and just as they were about to go in, Huo Zhizhou's phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was those two idiots calling, he answered without hesitation: "What is it?"

"Boss, Jiang Chenren has gone to the Huo family's old residence," Bodyguard Number One Lin Bei reported, his tone barely concealing his excitement. "Shall we take action?"

"Wait until he comes out before taking any action." Huo Zhizhou's eyes deepened slightly. "Remember to take good care of him."

Lin Bei answered very quickly: "No problem!"

After hanging up the phone, Huo Zhizhou sent Si Ning a message: "Log into the old house's surveillance system to see what Jiang Chenren and Huo Cheng said."

Si Ning said casually, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to just eavesdrop?"

"This is China," Huo Zhizhou said seriously. "We won't do anything illegal unless absolutely necessary."

Assistant Jiang: "..."

Si Ning: "..."

It's as if their previous surveillance didn't exist.

"Got it." Si Ning hung up the phone after saying that. For her, the steps of listening in or watching the surveillance footage were pretty much the same; it just depended on which one her boss wanted.

Huo Zhizhou put away his phone and went into the conference room. The senior executives felt a little apprehensive when they saw him, even though Huo had assured them there would be no problem. They were still worried about being found fault with him.

After all, this is the top boss of headquarters.

Compared to the serious atmosphere here, Jiang Ruan's side seemed much more relaxed.

The colleague who lived with Jiang Ruan and the others asked gossipy, "Didn't you go chatting with your friend last night? Why did you go to President Huo's place?"

"When I came back, President Huo asked me to print out a copy of what Sister Bai Jian sent him and send it to him," Jiang Ruan explained casually, as if it were the truth. "Later, he complained that the document wasn't easy to read and asked me to give him the original."

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

Jiang Ruan continued naturally, "It probably came out accidentally when I gave him the USB drive."

"The experts have arrived." Seeing that it was almost time, Xue Qian took the initiative to interrupt, "Let's go over first."

Jiang Ruan: "Okay."

The crowd then dispersed.

They each went to find the expert who would mentor them.

Everyone had their own guesses about this matter. Some thought Jiang Ruan deliberately left the key there to attract President Huo's attention, while others thought Jiang Ruan was telling the truth.

Of course, some people also believe that Jiang Ruan and President Huo have a close relationship, otherwise why would he personally deliver a key?

Regardless of their individual speculations, no one mentioned these things to Jiang Ruanmian in the following days. However, not mentioning them to Jiang Ruanmian did not mean that they would not gossip about it to their close colleagues at the company.

This led to the fact that everyone in the original Yi department knew about what happened here.

This includes Bai Jian and Liang Qi.

The three people who used to gossip with Liang Qi learned about this and pulled her aside, saying, "What do you think is the relationship between Jiang Ruan and President Huo? Didn't Secretary Su tell you a lot about it before?"

"None of these relationships have anything to do with me." Having learned the truth, Liang Qi dared not act recklessly anymore. "If you want to know, go ask yourself."

The three were puzzled by her reaction.

Liang Xi didn't say anything more and went back to her workstation to get back to work.

Bai Jian, who was passing by, overheard these conversations. Seeing that the gossip hadn't gotten too out of hand, she didn't interfere. Instead, she messaged Jiang Ruan during her free time to check on her: "Are you getting used to things over there?"

Jiang Ruan replied that she was quite used to it.

She was indeed used to it. In the past, when she went to a new place, she would always have stomach upsets, headaches, loss of appetite, and the like. But this time, she had no adverse reactions.

Time flies, and Wednesday is here soon.

Jiang Ruan and the others learned a lot from the expert and broadened their horizons, but necessary practice is essential for improvement.

That night, everyone from Yuanyi stayed behind to work overtime to complete the tasks assigned by the experts, so that the experts could quickly identify any weaknesses or shortcomings they might have.

It was past 8 p.m.

Jiang Ruan was working overtime when she received a call from Su Zhu.

Seeing the people busy with their heads down, she took her phone to the break room and answered, "Su Zhu, what's up?"

"Your mother just woke up for about a minute!!!" Su Zhu excitedly reported the situation to her, "Did Dr. Zhou call you to tell you?"

Jiang Ruan: "!"

Jiang Ruanxin instantly stirred up a storm.

She glanced at her phone quickly, and after not seeing any messages or calls, replied, "No."

"I guess she's busy testing your mother's data and hasn't had time yet." Su Zhu's voice was filled with barely concealed excitement. "Aunt Jiang will probably wake up by the time you get back!"

Jiang Ruan's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

She wanted to reply to Su Zhu, but she was so happy that she opened her mouth several times and couldn't say anything, as if something was blocking her throat.

"Hello?" Su Zhu called out to her when she received no response.

Jiang Ruan sniffed: "I'm here."

Su Zhu: "Why aren't you reacting! Shouldn't you be screaming with me about something this exciting?"
