Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 86 - 84 Bluebird Gospel

On the first day at the new company, although a few colleagues were not very friendly, Jiayi’s mood was still fairly good, thanks to the surprise from Tang En’en, coupled with a sumptuous lunch, which somewhat alleviated the gloom from the pay deduction.

After work, Jiayi had planned to leave with Tang En’en, but then her phone suddenly rang.

A text message had arrived.

"After work, come back to Huo Garden for dinner."

It was still the terse, command-like message.

She could only send a WeChat message to Tang En’en, saying she had something come up and needed to leave first.

As she exited the company building, night was just falling, and a gentle breeze brushed by, dissipating the fatigue of the day.

After leaving the company, Jiayi walked for about a kilometer when, just as usual, George was waiting for her in the car.

Inside the car window, there was already a dark, tall figure, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Jiayi climbed into the car.

Huo Zhenyang glanced at her and frowned slightly, "George, go to the closest department store first."

For work, Jiayi had worn a very simple and smart OL outfit, the simplest white blouse and a black pencil skirt. Without time to change back home, she had to buy a new set nearby.

"Is it the old master who’s asked us to have dinner?" Jiayi inquired, knowing that the special request to change must mean something was up.

He hummed in affirmation, and the car started, smoothly cruising along the neon-lit streets.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance of Xinguang Department Store.

"Get out," Huo Zhenyang commanded.

This man never bothered with niceties when doing things, and Jiayi was used to it. She followed him out of the car, entering the department store.

Upon their entrance, a customer service staff approached, smiling and saying, "Mr. Huo, it’s been a long time since you last visited."

After a few words, Jiayi came to understand that Huo Zhenyang was a platinum VIP customer of this department store.

Huo Zhenyang appeared very familiar with the store, effortlessly leading Jiayi to the third floor to change outfits at a counter.

The department store offered one-stop services, including food, drinks, entertainment, and even a few salons. Following Huo Zhenyang’s gesture, Jiayi went into one and got her hair done, eventually sorting everything out.

As they returned to the ground floor, the VIP service staff who were ready to attend to Mr. Huo at any time saw the tall man coming down with a young woman, their eyes lighting up, utterly dazzled.

Just a moment ago, the ordinarily dressed girl in a blouse and skirt was now radiant, a pure black off-the-shoulder cocktail dress making her skin appear even more porcelain-white, high heels with crystal soles highlighting her delicate ankles, her hair twisted up, and a diamond headband adding an ethereal quality as if she were not of this world.

Just by noticing the focused gazes of those around her, Jiayi knew how formal her attire was, and couldn’t help but whisper quietly, "Is it really necessary to go to all this trouble just for dinner at Huo Garden?"

The last time she went to Huo Garden, although he also dragged her to the store to change into a new outfit, it wasn’t as formal as today.

Huo Zhenyang remained silent, but felt that something was still missing.

His keen gaze swept around, eventually landing on a glass showcase not far off.

"Please let me take a look at that necklace."

The man spoke.

It was a luxurious European brand, renowned for all-diamond jewelry, with the designer being a well-known European master. Each piece was not only famously expensive but also a perfect work of art.

The sales lady opened the glass case, carefully presenting the valuable diamond necklace and explained, "Mr. Huo has a really good eye, this is our boutique design for the season, and it’s the only piece we have."

Huo Zhenyang lifted Jiayi’s hair and placed the necklace on her, secured it, then leaned down with a deep voice, "Look in the mirror, do you like it?"

Every move and step the man took to help the girl with her necklace made the sales associate hold her breath; her pretty face turned red with admiration. Mr. Huo was simply too charming.

Jiayi looked into the oval mirror. The all-diamond necklace, with a pendant of a bird clenching a rose, was quite unique and elegant, a creative design.

Paired with the black evening gown, it was a perfect match.

"I like it, but we’re only going out to eat—won’t it be a bit...?" She had just stolen a glance at the price and was startled.

My goodness, how many zeros is that? She truly owed an apology to her math teacher.

Although she knew that the man didn’t care, she admitted to herself that she was a coward; she had never seen such expensive jewelry before and her heart was pounding nonstop.

It’s just a necklace after all; no matter how lovely, it can’t be eaten or drunk, so is there any need to spend the price of a house on it?

Seeing Jiayi’s hesitation, the sales associate quickly recommended, "This necklace has a name, ’Bluebird Gospel’. The bluebird represents happiness and peace, and the rose symbolizes love and sweetness, suiting this miss very well. Additionally, Mr. Huo is our company’s platinum VIP, and this product comes with a 9.8 percent discount."

Even after the discount, the price was astronomical. Jiayi didn’t speak for a moment; then she felt his warm breath on her neck, and heard his deep voice at her ear, "Since your salary was docked, consider this to pay you back."

He had seen clear as day the gloom on her little face when she left the CEO’s office.

In business, his word was the law, and if he said the salary was docked, it was docked.

But privately, he was willing to give her something worth thousands, even millions of times her salary, just for her smile.

She was stunned, and her face flushed with heat.

One month’s salary exchanged for a diamond necklace that could buy a house, it was a sure loss, a deal only this man would make!

Seeing that she didn’t respond, Huo Zhenyang’s brows furrowed, "What’s the matter? Still not satisfied?"

"No, it’s not that..."

"Then what are you thinking about?"

"I was just thinking, President, why don’t you dock my salary every month? It’s too good a deal..." she said shamelessly.

Huo Zhenyang’s expression hardened, and he raised his finger to tap lightly on her forehead, and yet his thin lips revealed a trace of indulgent amusement. He then pulled her up by the hand and stood up.

Platinum VIPs don’t need to pay on the spot, as they are all notable figures in the city; typically, the company’s finance department would transfer the cost within the month.

Amid respectful farewells from the department store staff, the two left the store and returned to the car.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Huo Garden.

Inside the large living room, Huo Tianpei, who hadn’t seen Jiayi for a long time, was so delighted he couldn’t contain his joy, "It’s been so long, Jiayi has become even more beautiful."

"Thank you, Elder, you seem to be doing better too, looking at least ten years younger!" Jiayi said sweetly.

Huo Tianpei joyfully pulled Jiayi to sit next to him and inquired about her recent well-being.

The soft words of a girl could please and touch the heart of an elder like nothing else, and soon, the whole room was filled with Huo Tianpei’s bell-like laughter.

Before dinner started, Huo Zhenyang sat on a sofa to the side, legs crossed, silently observing the interaction between the elder and Jiayi, his mouth occasionally curling into an unusual smile.

On the second floor, by the turning of the stairs, Yao Zhenru wore a somber expression.

The more harmonious and joyful the atmosphere between the elder and the young ones downstairs, the greater the crisis it posed for her and her son.
