Chapter 156 Investigate Mrs. Cha's whereabouts immediately.
It's nothing serious, he'll handle it.
Jiang Qin glanced at Huo Sili, then at Liu Wenli, whose makeup was ruined from crying.
"Oh, okay." She turned around and left.
Liu Wenli's eyes widened, and her earlier sadness was instantly replaced by anger.
How could she leave?! She... she just left like that?!
That's really petty and narrow-minded. Not only is it impolite, but it's also petty and narrow-minded!
Even now, Liu Wenli still hasn't reflected on her actions. Instead, because of Jiang Qin's departure, she feels an intense resentment. If Huo Sili weren't here with her right now, Liu Wenli would be so angry that she would burst into a tirade.
It's all because of Jiang Qin that she lost her job! If she said a few kind words, she might have been able to keep her job!
She won't even help with this small favor. Where is Jiang Qin's demeanor and cultivation as the chief secretary?
But the reality is that Huo Sili was right in front of Liu Wenli.
No matter how intense Liu Wenli's resentment was, it instantly dissipated when she looked up and met that icy, handsome face.
"President Huo..." Liu Wenli softened her voice, trying to play the victim to salvage the situation.
But she clearly still didn't understand her boss well enough.
"Okay, I'll notify HR, and they'll contact you."
Huo Sili's voice was devoid of any warmth. After speaking, he immediately dialed a number on his phone and walked towards the conference room while making the call.
Liu Wenli was completely stunned when she heard Horstley inform HR that she was being fired.
She stood there blankly, forgetting to shed tears for a moment. Her face, which had been rosy when she was being sarcastic to Jiang Qin, was now pale. She looked like she was standing on the edge of a cliff, and if she wasn't careful, she would be smashed to pieces.
Overwhelmed by utter helplessness, Liu Wenli no longer cared about her image and burst into tears, muttering curses under her breath. But she didn't stay in the curse for long before security guards came up and took her directly to the personnel department.
Meanwhile, the staff, including Li Nana, who heard or witnessed the scene, were extremely shocked.
"what's the situation?"
"I don't know. It seems like she scolded Secretary Jiang? But I've spoken with that person before. She has character issues, so it's good that she's fired."
"That's true. I've also dealt with her before, and my impression of her wasn't good either. But this is quite scary—if we want to gossip in the future, we'll have to keep it from the leaders and from what Secretary Jiang said. We can't just say anything carelessly."
"Mainly, there's not much to say about Jiang Mi, is there? She's beautiful, polite, has good character, and most importantly, she's very capable and down-to-earth. I don't understand why that person would insult Jiang Mi?"
"Jealousy, I guess." Someone who knew the inside story couldn't help but whisper, "Two years ago, she and Secretary Jiang were competing for the position of chief secretary..."
To prevent the leakage of trade secrets, the conference room was soundproof. While the crowd was talking, Jiang Qin had already entered the conference room, and naturally, she was unaware that Liu Wenli had been fired.
More than half an hour later, he came out of the conference room carrying a stack of confidential documents that he had carefully put into a brown paper file bag. As he passed through the office area, he heard people talking about Liu Wenli not far away, thanks to his excellent hearing.
Jiang Qin then realized what had just happened.
This was somewhat unexpected, but not much, since the other party was neither her good friend nor had she ever done her any favors.
Third, he's always been at odds with her, always speaking sarcastically whenever they meet, and there's also a fourth—
When Jiang Qin thought about how Liu Wenli had previously led several secretaries from the food department to slander Lin Xiaoyu and try to use this as a means of "collective punishment" to defame her, she couldn't feel any pity for Liu Wenli's dismissal.
"Getting ready to leave work?"
After returning to his office and putting away the documents, he was just packing up to leave when suddenly, Horstley came out from the other room.
Jiang Qin glanced at Fu Rongying diagonally in front of her and nodded to Huo Sili.
The packing didn't stop.
He zipped up his jacket, looked up, and saw that Horstley was still standing in the doorway.
Jiang Qin was slightly puzzled.
But remembering what he said, that it was still her work hours, Jiang Qin patiently asked.
"Is there anything else, Mr. Huo?"
"Yes, come in for a moment."
Jiang Qin frowned slightly, hesitated for half a second between putting down her bag and not putting it down, and then went into the inner room with the bag slung over her shoulder.
Huo Sili's gaze was fixed on Jiang Qin like glue.
He watched her walk in from the other end of her workstation, then stepped aside to let her in, and closed the office door behind her.
With a click, Fu Rongying looked up at the inner room from her workstation.
But nothing could be seen; the inner room door was tightly closed, protecting the privacy and safety of the people inside very well.
After some hesitation, Fu Rongying finally turned her gaze back to the computer.
Meanwhile, inside the room, Jiang Qin looked at Huo Sili with a puzzled expression.
"So, what's the matter?" he asked, getting straight to the point.
Huo Sili walked to the desk, took out a tablet from the table, opened it, and handed it to him.
"Tomorrow is your birthday, so I'm giving you the day off. How about we have dinner together?"
Jiang Qin was a little stunned. Birthday?
She herself has absolutely no recollection of it.
Perhaps seeing that she didn't take it, Huo Sili handed the tablet forward again.
"These restaurants all have dishes that you like, and the decor is also your style."
Jiang Qin snapped out of her daze, her gaze falling on the tablet. She glanced at it, but still didn't answer.
"No need, I have plans with Lele."
There was no appointment at all.
But what does it mean to have a date-style meal with him at a time like this? Is it a farewell ceremony before the divorce?
There was no wedding, so what was there to say goodbye to? It was all so abrupt and incoherent, which, to be honest, was both sentimental and jarring.
As Huo Sili's expression hardened slightly, Jiang Qin, who was looking at Huo Sili, took a half step back.
"I've finished all my work for today. I promised you this morning that I would return to Yunhai Huafu. But please cooperate with me to resolve the divorce agreement. Please don't delay any longer."
"I don't think you have any official business to discuss with me. That's all for now. See you tonight."
After saying that, Jiang Qin turned and walked away without looking back.
Huo Sili's thin lips pressed into a straight line, and his hand holding the tablet seemed to lose its strength.
Jiang Qin touched the doorknob, hesitated for a moment, then pressed it down and pushed it open.
Without stopping, the door to the CEO's office opened and closed with a click.
Inside, Horst stood there for a while, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips.
How can it not be funny? As a husband, even if his wife isn't busy at all, he still can't get her to join him for a meal.
At this moment, Huo Sili felt he needed to add a saying: Where a man's money is, there his love will be.
This statement needs to be supplemented with: Where a woman spends her time, that's where love is.
It's obvious that Jiang Qin's time isn't with Huo Sili.
In the corridor, while waiting for the elevator, Jiang Qin covered her nose and sneezed, her brows furrowing slightly, before going to the restroom to wash her hands.
When I came out, I had two extra heat packs stuck to my body.
The elevator arrived on the first floor. Just as she stepped out, her phone rang. Jiang Qin took out her phone, saw the contact name, and her eyes widened.
At six o'clock, Huo Sili stepped out of the president's office, with He Xu following beside him.
On his way to the elevator, Huo Sili hesitated for a moment, but still dialed Wang Ma's number.
When he asked the question, he heard a hesitant voice from Wang Ma on the other end, and Huo Sili's expression tightened slightly.
"Has Madam not returned yet? Or has she not arrived yet?"
She set off a long time ago, so why hasn't she arrived yet? Did something happen on the way, or... did she change her mind and go to that villa instead?
On the other end of the phone, Wang Ma was also worried, "They probably haven't arrived yet, right? Sir, should I send a message to Madam to ask?"
Now, as soon as she gets off work, she blocks his phone number and WeChat.
I could contact them using a virtual number before, but that doesn't work anymore.
Horst's expression was as cold as autumn water: "Hmm."
Hearing Huo Sili's tone on the other end of the phone, Wang Ma couldn't help but feel nervous. She quickly sent a message, and thankfully, she received a reply within seconds.
He quickly said to Horstley, "Sir, Madam is back. She said she got stuck in traffic on her way back."
Traffic jam.
Huo Sili opened the navigation app and checked; the roads were clear.
She is lying.
Before he could say anything more, the elevator arrived in front of him.
"Mr. Huo, the elevator." He Xu whispered a reminder from the side.
“Okay, tell your wife to be careful, there’s no rush,” Horstley said.
Wang Ma was a little confused, but having worked in wealthy families for many years, she naturally knew the importance of not asking questions or making a fuss.
"Yes," Wang Ma replied respectfully.
As Huo Sili stepped into the elevator, he hung up the phone. Seemingly unwilling to give up, he turned on the navigation again and saw the route displayed on the screen turn green once more.
A green navigation route means the road is very clear and the car can travel without obstruction.
She's really lying. For whom did she choose to lie? Did she reply to the message herself?
Beside him, He Xu watched as Huo Sili's expression changed from cloudy to gloomy, and silently reduced his presence.
Suddenly, Horst looked at him, his expression sinister, his tone icy, and there was a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"Check Mrs. Cha's whereabouts immediately. Have the bodyguard drive her around later, and send me the information as soon as you find out."
