Li Miaoke bit her lips, feeling uneasy. She didn’t know if Huo Quan had anything to do with this.

“Xiaoxiao, cover for me when the teacher comes. I’m going out to make a phone call.” After saying that, Li Miaoke didn’t give Zhou Xiao any time to react. She took her phone and ran to a place where there were no people around.

The atmosphere in the conference room of the Huo Corporation building was extremely tense. The department manager who was reporting on the recent work situation was sweating all over, and his voice couldn’t help but tremble.

Huo Quan, who was sitting up straight, looked at the crowd coldly. His long fingers were twirling the ink-colored pen, and he was in a casual and relaxed posture. However, his powerful aura was unbearable to the crowd. “So, this is the plan you planned to give me? After a month you give a piece of sh*t?”

The crowd trembled, and no one dared to make a sound.

“Say something!” Huo Quan frowned slightly. “I thought you had the gift of gab. Why are all of you silent now?”

Who dared to speak now? The one who dared to speak would be in great trouble.

The meeting room fell into dead silence. At this moment, a light ringtone sounded in the meeting room. Everyone straightened their backs. Who was so bold to turn on their phones in the middle of a meeting? Wasn’t this a blatant violation of the president’s taboo?

Just as everyone was glancing at each other from the corner of their eyes, Huo Quan, who was sitting in the leader’s seat, moved. When he picked up his phone and saw the name on it, his expression stopped being so cold. Everyone was extremely shocked. Who was the person who called President Huo? How could this person make their cold and heartless president’s expression so gentle?

“I’ll give you another half an hour. If you still can’t hand in a suitable proposal, then pack up and get out of here.” After saying this, Huo Quan took his phone and walked out of the meeting room.

After returning to his office, Huo Quan picked up the phone. “What, we’ve only been separated for less than an hour, and you already start to miss me?” There came a smile on his face, and gentleness between his brows. He now was very different from the cold and heartless man in the meeting room.

Li Miaoke then said, “I’m not missing you. I’m calling because I have something important to ask you.”

Huo Quan: “Oh? What is it?”

“I want to ask you, did you do what our class teacher had done?” Li Miaoke asked anxiously, afraid that if she spoke slowly, Huo Quan would say something to embarrass her again.

“I did talk to the principal of Kinsland High School yesterday, but I forgot the details of the conversation.”

“How could you forget that?” Li Miaoke freaked out. “If I remember correctly, you are the chairman of Kinsland High School, right?”

Huo Quan smiled, “Oh, that’s right. If you don’t remind me, I would have almost forgotten. After all, I have too many assets in my hands. Sometimes, it’s hard to avoid forgetting a few.”

Li Miaoke rolled her eyes speechlessly. However, she thought that the principal must have heard about what happened yesterday and then did something to the class teacher in order to curry favor with Huo Quan.

“Alright, alright, I know you’re the best, OK?” Li Miaoke snorted.

Huo Quan smiled and said, “No, actually, I want you to know that I can be even better in front of you.”

“No need.” Li Miaoke rejected without thinking, “I have to go to class. Got to go.” After saying that, she did not give Huo Quan any time to react and directly hung up the phone. Her speed was so fast that Huo Quan did not know whether to laugh or cry. She was the only one who dared to hang up on him.

After ending the call, Li Miaoke returned to the classroom. However, just as she sat down and the class teacher rushed into the classroom and shouted, “Li Miaoke, come out now!”

The class teacher’s name was Wang Chunyan. She was a special-class teacher at Kinsland High School. Ever since she started working at Kinsland High School, she had been in a key class. No matter what, she could be considered an experienced teacher at Kinsland High School. Usually at school, other teachers were also very polite to her. However, last night, she suddenly received a call from the principal asking her to leave her job voluntarily? What on earth did that mean?

Wang Chunyan immediately thought of the man next to Li Miaoke, the man with an air of nobility. She knew that that person was not simple. If she wanted to keep her job, the only way out was to find Li Miaoke.

The students in the class did not expect Wang Chunyan to come at this time, and she looked angry. Everyone’s eyes fell on Li Miaoke at the first moment. They had guessed that Li Miaoke had something to do with their class teacher leaving her job. Now it seemed that their guess was right.
