C9 The Water and the Fire Are Intolerable
The top floor of the Emperor Building, like many other companies, represented the core of a company's power.
The entire first floor was contracted by two people. One of them was naturally the President of the Emperor's Group, Huo Tenzi. He was the decision maker of the company. The other one was the old man of the Huo Family, Huo Tince's grandfather, Huo Guodong.
However, Huo Guodong had displayed extraordinary ability ever since he took over the position of the Emperor's International's President, allowing the assets of this already eye-catching group to rise at an astounding rate. Thus, Huo Guodong was very much at ease to hand over the Huo Family to Huo Tinzhi.
Therefore, the current resident staff on the top floor was Huo Tince, as well as his secretaries.
At this moment, Huo Tince was sitting on the luxurious leather chair with a thoughtful look on his face. The image of Jiang Xiaohan's delicate yet stubborn face appeared in his mind. If he was not mistaken, he had seen a trace of pain in her eyes.
Huo Tince lit up a cigarette and blew out a few smoke rings. In the past, no matter how intimate he was with other women, Jiang Xiaohan had always been indifferent and indifferent. But today, he seemed to be different.
It seemed that this gentle and elegant lady was not completely useless.
Huo Tenzhao's eyebrows relaxed a little. He put out the cigarette in the ashtray on the table and called for his secretary, David Liu.
"CEO, do you want to continue the meeting?" He had been having a quarterly wrap-up meeting with the company's upper echelons, but for some reason, the meeting had been abruptly suspended, and everyone had been put on air as they hurried downstairs.
"No need!" Huo Tenzhao waved his hand. His face turned somewhat gloomy in an instant. "Go and call out the surveillance cameras in the garden for me!"
"Yes, CEO!" Thinking back to what happened in the garden, David suddenly understood something. He gave Huo Tince a meaningful look, then turned around and left the CEO's office.
"..."
Jiang Xiaohan stood dumbly in the garden for a while. Despite the scorching sun, she felt a chill in her heart.
With great difficulty, he managed to dispel the grievances in his heart and calm his mind. Jiang Xiaohan walked into the Emperor Building, and along the way, many people looked at her strangely and pointed at her.
Jiang Xiaohan ignored them and walked to his seat without looking back. He glanced at the other assistant secretaries who were working methodically.
The one in charge of the secretary's office was David Liu. He was also one of Huo Tince's trusted aides. Usually, the important matters would be left to David Liu to handle.
Among the other assistant secretaries, several of them were old employees left behind by Huo Guodong, who had already gotten married and had children. The remaining two were Mao's Group's eldest daughter, Mao Yinhong, and the other one was called Guo Qiuting.
Jiang Xiaohan, on the other hand, had entered the Secretary's Office of the Royal Group two months ago because of a single sentence from Huo Tince. He had become one of the secretary's assistants that everyone envied.
Jiang Xiaohan had just sat down when he met Mao Yinhong's hostile gaze.
Mao Yinhong's love for Huo Tince wasn't a secret anymore. It was already known to everyone before Jiang Xiaohai entered the company.
Jiang Xiaohan didn't know when he had been hated by Mao Yinhong. Perhaps it was because she was the younger sister of the person Huo Tince loved deeply? Perhaps, it was because Mao Yinhong thought that with her status, she did not have the qualifications to become the emperor and was on equal footing with her. Or could it be because the Mao family and the Jiang family were competitors in a business and also attached themselves to the Huo family?
In short, ever since Jiang Xiaohan had joined the Imperial Conglomerate two months ago, Mao Yinhong had targeted her in public and in secret. He had embarrassed her face to face several times.
Fortunately, Jiang Xiaohan had trained himself to be unperturbed by Huo Tince. No matter what people did to her, she could remain calm.
However, she still didn't expect that Mao Yinhong would openly help Wen Ya out today in front of Huo Tince and frame her for stealing the elegant ring. Mao Yinhong hated her to such an extent.
