“Punctuality is the first rule of the workplace, as it should be.” Meeting his unfathomable gaze, Shao Pingxi answered formulaically while wondering what Huo Juren was up to.
Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to that night—
The night her arm was injured, when he took her home, he said: “I want you to come to Huo’s.”
“Is this a second order?” she immediately countered.
“Correct.”
“I’m a manager, I can’t just leave on a whim,” she pointed out the fact.
“With me intervening, your old company won’t dare to give you trouble. I’ll give you three days to properly hand over all your work.”
More than a year ago, when they were still intimate lovers, Huo Juren had also asked her to work at Huo International…
Idle chatter aside. Huo Junren returned to the main topic, noting he had a pile of official business to handle and no spare American time to waste. “At your old company, you were a manager, and Huo’s company will certainly not mistreat you. Here, you will still be a manager. As for the specifics of your work, someone will inform you.”
Shao Pingxi listened quietly, her intuition telling her that Huo Junren’s invitation to work at Huo’s company was not going to be that simple.
After a morning, the new “manager” Shao Pingxi was merely reviewing some dispensable documents, annual reports, and plans.
Her work was very simple, and at the same time, incredibly boring.
Was Huo Junren trying to wear down her will with a gloomy atmosphere and mind-numbingly dull work?
No way!
She absolutely would not sit in this beautiful office, passively waiting for the Huo CEO to have a change of heart and recognize her business talents.
The opportunity to showcase her strengths was something she had to actively pursue!
“Excuse me, I would like to see Mr. Huo,” Shao Pingxi said to the secretary as she quickly approached the CEO’s office.
“Please wait a moment,” the secretary immediately relayed the message. Soon, she looked up with an apologetic expression, “I’m sorry, Manager Shao, Mr. Huo is busy, and he says—”
“I understand,” Shao Pingxi cut her off, knowing she had been denied entry, but she would not back down.
Just because he didn’t invite her in didn’t mean she couldn’t go in!
