Chapter 36: Lunch

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After warning the shareholders, Huo Man strode out of the meeting room and went to her chairman’s office.

Her office was on the top floor of the Huo group building. As soon as she opened the door, she could see the simple and clean gray space, her desk, and a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Satisfied, Huo Man walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the city.

Once upon a time, she had also climbed up the mountain in the countryside and looked down at the world.

As she stood there, she recalled everything that she had experienced. Perhaps those experiences were to prepare her for what she went through today.

“Director Huo, these are the documents for today. Additionally, someone from the Shen Corporation is here to see you.” A woman walked into the office, looking energetic and vigorous.

“Let the people from the Shen Corporation wait, I’ll go through the documents first. Also, you’re my secretary?” Huo Man asked as she looked at the woman in a black business suit.

The woman nodded and replied expressionlessly, “Yes, I’m Yang Yue, the secretary of the chairman of this company. I was also your grandfather’s secretary before.”

“Also, I have to remind you that there are many documents in here. If you read them first, I’m afraid you’ll make the people of the Shen Corporation wait for too long.”

Yang Yue’s advice didn’t work on Huo Man at all. She still insisted on her own idea and said, “I won’t let him wait for too long. Please let him know.”

Yang Yue hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she did not say anything. She watched as Yang Yue strutted off in her high heels and straightened her back.

Huo Man stretched lazily, took the stack of documents Yang Yue handed over, and began to read them carefully.

These documents were nothing more than some contracts and agreements. When Huo Man saw that there were any problems with the terms, she picked up a pen and wrote on the side. If there were no problems, she would sign.

After a while, she finished reading all the documents. She picked up the internal phone and dialed Yang Yue’s number.

“Let the people from the Shen Corporation in. Also, I’ve finished reading the documents. Come to my office to retrieve them.”

On the other end of the phone, Yang Yue was stunned to hear Huo Man’s words.” Has Director Huo finished reading the documents so quickly?”

If she remembered correctly, those documents were very complicated! Was the new chairman so powerful?

Yang Yue suspiciously led Xu Feng, who had come to the Huo group to look for Huo Man, to Huo Man’s office and took away the documents that had been neatly arranged.

She casually flipped through the documents and saw that each one had traces of Huo Man’s handwriting. Huo Man’s annotations were particularly detailed, which surprised Yang Yue.

“Xu Feng, what are you doing here?” Huo Man wasn’t surprised to see Xu Feng, but she was curious as to why he suddenly came to the Huo group.

“Miss Huo… I mean, Director Huo, I heard that you were coming to the Huo group today to officially take over as the chairman. Young Master Shen asked me to come and congratulate you.” Xu Feng said to Huo Man politely.

Xu Feng had unspeakable bitterness. During this period of time when he was waiting outside, he had been on tenterhooks every second and every minute, afraid that he would delay Shen Bei’s plans. Fortunately, Shen Bei did not say anything. Otherwise, he would not be able to remain so calm at this moment.

Xu Feng was not afraid of anything. The only thing he was afraid of was Shen Bei’s cold eyes that were as sharp as knives.

“Just to congratulate me?” Huo Man raised her eyebrows and did not believe Xu Feng’s words.

Xu Feng took a deep breath and continued, “Actually… Young Master Shen is at the coffee shop nearby. He said that he would like to meet you personally after you’re done with your business. While he’s at it…”

“What is it?”

“He’d like to invite you to lunch.”

Xu Feng felt like he was a messenger.

For the first time, he felt his Young Master’s awkwardness. He clearly wanted to see Huo Man in person, but he had to pretend that he didn’t care and sent a small fry like him to invite her.

Huo Man was puzzled. Why did Shen Bei ask her out for a meal again? Did this man like to find other people to eat with so much?

However, when she thought of the last time they went to the food stall, Shen Bei had to force himself to eat crayfish despite having a stomachache. Huo Man felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. “Okay.”

Xu Feng heaved a long sigh of relief, bowed and made a “please” gesture. He then led Huo Man to find Shen Bei.
