Huo’s company operated without any hindrance in his absence, but Shao Pingxi felt something important was missing.
And now, this spirit that disturbed her mind had suddenly appeared in her office.
This unexpected situation left Shao Pingxi momentarily unable to react.
“Manager Shao, can you come back to your senses now?” Huo Junren closed the door and sat in the chair in front of her desk.
Shao Pingxi finally came to, coughing lightly to cover her previous awkwardness, “CEO Huo, did you come to see me about something?”
“Can’t I come if there’s nothing specific?” he coldly countered, staring directly at her whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.
Unexpected by his counter-question, she was stunned again. These consecutive moments of being dazed were unlike her usual sharp and quick-thinking self.
But only Huo Junren could make this capable woman lose her composure.
After silently watching her for a while, he shifted his ice-cold gaze and spoke in a cold tone: “What’s the progress on the cooperation plan with Star Tai, Arts Ability, and Toho?”
Upon hearing this, a wave of disappointment washed over Shao Pingxi’s heart.
He had come to find her purely for business matters. How foolish she was! For a moment, she had actually thought that “Can’t I come if there’s nothing specific” might have hidden another meaning.
Cheer up!
Quickly organizing her emotions, Shao Pingxi looked at him with a serious expression, preparing to report her work progress.
Huo Junren listened to her work report on one hand, while on the other, he subtly gazed at her, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes.
He… hadn’t seen her for three weeks now. She seemed to have lost a bit of weight… Was it because she was too busy? Was her diet irregular? Or was she eating carelessly during meals?
In fact, upon returning to the headquarters, his first destination was Shao Pingxi’s office.
Undeniably, the planning department held a crucial position in the Huo Corporation, but the case Shao Pingxi was handling wasn’t important enough to warrant the CEO personally coming to find her immediately upon arriving.
He knew very well that his first priority in coming to find her was not strictly business.
“…That concludes my report,” Shao Pingxi methodically and concisely reported her work to Huo Junren.
