Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 386 - 384: Are You Sure You Want to Be a Happy Father?
No wonder Manager Yang is so reverent toward him!
She curled her lips, "So what if I’m not married? Aren’t you still an old man yourself? Do you have the right to judge me? As for having no boyfriend, when you came back to the country and broke up with me, you caused 10,000 points of shadow damage that I still haven’t recovered from. So, what will it be, Young Master Huo? Are you planning on monetary compensation, or do you intend to make it up to me in the flesh?"
Still as sharp-tongued as ever.
Huo Zhenyang’s eyes curved with amusement, "Thanks, but as you said, I’m an old man. I can’t handle your innovative type anymore."
Fang Yao blinked, glanced at the door behind her, and with no time for nostalgic exchanges, her tone carried a tinge of sarcasm:
"Of course, I know you don’t like my type. I haven’t come back from abroad in so many years, and I’m still unaware that you now like this type. Going to the lengths of pretending to be a department manager, coming here to plead for a female employee? I heard she’s a single mother with a three or four-year-old son. Are you sure you want to play happy daddy, raising someone else’s son?"
Huo Zhenyang replied indifferently, "I’m here to acquire the company, not interested in second-hand goods."
Fang Yao was puzzled, "You’re not pursuing her? Then why are you helping her? Right, with her qualifications and background, it’s impossible for her to get into Yundu. You didn’t help her, did you? Then you still say you’re not looking to pursue her?"
Huo Zhenyang stated nonchalantly, "She can’t repay the money she owes me. If I don’t let her join Yundu, how can she have the ability to pay off her debt? Other than working at Yundu, she also comes a few times a week to clean my house in Yunling City. Let’s drop this matter. Don’t think about firing her anymore. If she is to be fired, it will be after she has repaid my money."
So that’s how it is. Fang Yao’s realization dawned.
No wonder. Given Zhenyang’s cold-blooded nature, forcing a single mother to work for him to pay off debt, to be a maid, he would definitely do something like that.
Thinking this way, even if she doesn’t make things difficult for Jiayi, this man is enough to give Jiayi a hard time.
Fang Yao pursed her lips, "Fine, for your sake, I won’t pursue this matter."
Huo Zhenyang reminded, "My current identity at Yundu, don’t mention it to anyone. And don’t talk too much in front of that woman; she doesn’t know yet."
Fang Yao understood, having just acquired a company, he probably wanted to observe the internal situation of the company in the shadows, to facilitate management and improvement. If the internal staff knew that the boss of the company had arrived, they would definitely cover up some issues. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
She was very cooperative, "Alright, alright, you big tycoons behind the curtain always love playing mysterious, secretly watching people work, like an emperor in incognito, how could you reveal your identity? I get it—Recycling Department Manager Huo."
Fang Yao intentionally emphasized the last three words.
Still the same temperament as before, with all her emotions written on her face, Huo Zhenyang didn’t mind and shrugged with a laugh.
The two left Manager Yang’s office and headed toward the elevator.
Huo Zhenyang pressed the elevator button to go down, hands in his trouser pockets.
The elevator indicator arrow kept rising, and as it was about to reach their floor, Fang Yao turned around, tilting her neck slightly, her tone half-serious, half-joking:
"Zhenyang, tell me, if you hadn’t had to go back to the country to take over the Huo Family business after graduation, would we still be together?"
Huo Zhenyang gave a light laugh, "Probably not."
Fang Yao’s face fell, "Would it kill you to answer ’yes’? Why can’t you ever say something polite? Am I that bad?"
"If we were still together, it would be either you dead or me gone." Huo Zhenyang’s smile spread, knowing all too well his compatibility with Fang Yao. Their personalities were too similar, like a needle against a kernel of wheat. Whenever there was a problem, both of their stubborn heads would butt together without yielding. In the long run, it would be painful.
Back then, although they were not at the same school, they both studied in Paris, and it was just a long-distance relationship that started out of a temporary gathering of classmates.
They got together because two top students succumbed to the coaxing of their classmates, going along with the crowd’s wishes.
Their eventual separation was also expected, and not solely due to him needing to return to his country to take over the family business.
Perhaps he and Fang Yao were more suited to be friends.
Fang Yao understood this very well herself.
Just then, the elevator dinged and opened.
Fang Yao smiled and said, "Alright, I’m leaving then, Manager Huo."
Huo Zhenyang raised his hand and, before the elevator doors closed, lightly flicked Fang Yao’s nose.
This gesture was merely an affectionate one between old classmates, and Fang Yao certainly didn’t think much of it.
As the elevator doors closed, Huo Zhenyang turned around only to see a petite figure standing in the corner of the hallway.
His eyes darkened slightly, she hadn’t left yet.
Jiayi had left Manager Yang’s office early, initially planning to go downstairs, but upon reaching the elevator, she decided to wait for him to emerge to explain herself once more.
After all, it was he who had introduced her to this job.
Today, she had offended Fang Yao, causing a significant stir, even making him come over in person; she didn’t know if it would affect him.
Only after seeing his intimate gestures and conversation with Fang Yao did Jiayi understand that this man was actually Fang Yao’s ex-boyfriend.
Just now, upon his suggestion, Fang Yao didn’t punish her and also directly allowed her to pass the probation period, which had already surprised Jiayi.
This man was just a manager of the recycling department, and yet Fang Yao, who wouldn’t even give Manager Yang face, would listen to him?
Now it made sense — the two were old flames from their school days, so of course, Fang Yao would show some respect for her ex.
Moreover, judging from their demeanor at the elevator door, it seemed like they had parted on amicable terms and were still in a good relationship now.
Uh... But honestly, Jiayi couldn’t help but be a little envious, and her curiosity was involuntarily ignited. This man had been in a relationship? Judging by his demeanor, she had thought he might be gay. During the two months as a maid in his villa, she had never seen him bring any women over.
Seeing her staring at him with a gaze akin to observing a strange animal, Huo Zhenyang’s expression grew even colder, "What are you doing here?"
Jiayi quickly reined in her curiosity, "I’m sorry about today’s incident. I’m here to thank you for coming in person to speak for me, and it won’t happen again," she paused, then added, "Oh right, about what just occurred with Director Fang... I didn’t see anything."
After saying this, she walked toward the elevator, ready to press the down button.
Huo Zhenyang hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward quickly. He lifted his large palm and covered her small hand, which was poised to press the button, stopping her from calling the elevator. His tall frame blocked her way in and out, his cool eyes stern:
"Are you threatening me now, woman?"
