her gaze was fixed on the man beside her. the two of them seemed to be talking and laughing, as if they were very close.

he had thought of many different scenarios where they would meet again. he felt that he must have been standing arrogantly in front of her, but now, he only felt that this woman was so far away from him.

she was no longer the little secretary who could be easily bullied.

qian jun noticed the change in huo jianji's expression and immediately followed his gaze towards the door.

he saw the silhouettes of he meixin and wu wei.

at this time, qian jun had already stood up and immediately waved at he mei xin, who was at the door.

she meixin lifted her eyes and saw him. first, she revealed a pleasantly surprised smile. then, her gaze landed on huo jiuzi. the two of them locked gazes, and the smile froze on her face. she also stopped walking.

when wu wei saw this, he followed her gaze and also saw qian jun and huo jianji, "isn't he huo jianji? why would he appear here? this world is way too small. "

at this time, he meixin turned to look at wu wei. "ceo wu, why don't we change to another restaurant for lunch?"

wu wei naturally understood her scruples, so he nodded. "alright."

the two of them turned around to leave. qian jun didn't expect she meixin to avoid the huo family's treasure so much. seeing that huo jianxin still hadn't fully reacted, he hurriedly stood up and called out to she meixin, "meixin, let's have lunch together."

when she meixin saw that he had caught up to her, she could only muster up the courage to turn around and look at him, "a.s.sistant qian, ceo wu and i suddenly recalled that we still have some matters to attend to, so we're going back to the company first."

qian jun obviously knew that this was an excuse, so he turned to wu wei with a smile, "no matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. since you guys are already at the restaurant, i think ceo wu isn't the kind of boss who would squeeze employees' time to eat, right? ceo wu, what do you think?"

as a big boss, wu wei was naturally very magnanimous. when qian jun said this, he only smiled. "a.s.sistant qian, you must be joking. i am responsible for my work. as a boss, i am very pleased to have such an employee."

"in that case, you shouldn't have let her work hungry, should you?" qian jun smiled and looked at she meixin. "you're a good person. boss huo is also here. at least you worked under him for a period of time. why didn't you greet him?"

she meixin really did not want to get into contact with huo jianji. to be more precise, she was afraid of him in her heart.

in the past, when she worked under his control, she was afraid that he would bully her.

and now, she was no longer afraid of him, but more afraid of him.

"beautiful, since a.s.sistant qian has said so, then let's go greet your former boss." wu wei said as he gently embraced her shoulders, as if to give her courage.

his seemingly natural actions, in the eyes of huo jiu, were particularly eye-catching. the anger in his heart suddenly rose.

since wu wei had spoken, he mei couldn't refuse anymore. she could only bite the bullet and reply, "let's go."

the three of them strode towards huo jiu, who maintained his usual aloof and aloof expression as he sat at the dining table. as he watched them approach, he didn't even bother to get up to greet them.

as the three approached, qian jun smiled at huo jiabao and said, "boss huo, blessed heart and ceo wu are here."

huo jiajue revealed an exaggerated expression as he glanced at she meixin. he mocked, "so, it was secretary he. it has been a long time since i last saw him. i almost couldn't recognize him."

he mei xin could sense the slight awkwardness behind his words, but she did not make a sound.

"h.e.l.lo, director huo." wu wei was magnanimous, but huo jianji ignored him. instead, he took the initiative to greet him.

at this time, huo jiabao finally shifted his gaze from he meixin to wu wei. he then slowly stood up and asked, "ceo wu? it's my pleasure to meet you here. "

the two of them shook hands. qian jun then suggested, "since director wu and our old friend, director huo, have met, why don't we have this meal together? ceo wu, what do you think?"

"i don't care, i'm just afraid of disturbing boss huo." wu wei said.

"what do you mean no interruptions? it's just two more sets of tableware and two more meals." huojiao appeared to be unconcerned.

she meixin felt that if she were to really sit here and eat this meal, she would definitely have indigestion, so she said, "it's better not to trouble boss huo. we'll just have a simple work meal, then we'll leave."

even wu wei had agreed, but she actually refused to eat with him. the anger in his heart flared up, but he couldn't show it, so he said with a fake smile, "it seems like secretary he doesn't want to eat at the same table as me. qian jun, just look at you and you like forcing people to do something difficult."

"director huo, that's not what a beautiful heart means, isn't she afraid of troubling you?" qian jun didn't want the two he had arranged to meet to end in such an unpleasant manner. he immediately tried to persuade he mei, "beautiful, let's have lunch together. there's nothing troublesome about it. just sit down. don't you think you can make director wu and director huo reminisce as well?"

she meixin knew that if she were to continue insisting on refusing, the situation would turn ugly.

looking at huo ying's att.i.tude now, it was no different from before, he was still arrogant and condescending. it was likely that huo ying would not think anything of the child. on the contrary, if he did not give him face, it might anger him.

after weighing the pros and cons, she decided to sit down. "then, i'll be troubling you."

when qian jun saw that she had finally taken her seat, he hurriedly got up and sat beside huo jiu. he gave his seat to he mei xin and let his sit opposite of huo jia. wu wei sat opposite of him.

after calling the waiter to order the dishes, qian jun felt that the atmosphere at the table was a little cold. thus, he took the initiative to start a conversation and said, "ceo wu, there's something i'm very curious about, may i ask you?"

"what is it?"

qian jun glanced at she meixin and said with a smile, "that's right, her beauty is very popular in new york city, isn't she? are the men after her in line? "

he was actually asking for huo jianji, but huo jianji didn't know that. wu wei didn't reply to qian jun's question and instead snorted coldly, "do you think that men in new york don't have good eyes?"
