Chapter 52 Li Xueqian's face turned pale instantly.
He Xu quickly replied seriously, "Mr. Huo, what do you mean?"
Huo Sili glanced at the screenshot he had just taken of the other party's WeChat Moments.
With just one glance, He Xu saw what looked like an ice pick that could kill a person on Huo Sili's face.
He was a little confused and felt even colder. The next second, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
Horsley: "Sent to you."
"Oh." He quickly took it out and looked at it.
Upon seeing the person in the picture sent by Horst, his eyes widened and his brows furrowed.
Of course, it's not because it's ugly, but because it's so beautiful.
It was so beautiful that He Xu almost questioned his own existence.
Wait, is this a boy? Is he going to turn into a mosquito coil?
Can't you?
For some inexplicable reason, He Xu glanced at Huo Sili and couldn't help but mentally compare their looks and physiques.
Tsk. Silence.
Oh no, Mr. Huo has met a formidable opponent.
Although his physique doesn't seem as healthy and strong as Mr. Huo's.
But, there's no fault with her face.
He Xu then quickly glanced at Huo Sili again.
He thought to himself: "I feel like I'm a handsome guy with striking features, just like you, Mr. Huo!"
"Hmm? What's the problem?" Horst looked over.
He Xu quickly swallowed his words, "No, I'll go check right away and let you know as soon as I find out!"
After saying that, he hurriedly left, but before he could even step out the door, his phone rang.
He was at the front desk. After finishing his call, He Xu glanced at the ceiling, turned around, and walked back. "President Huo."
Horstley continued replying to emails, his eyelids still closed, his voice cool, "Speak."
He Xu: "Miss Li came to the front desk on the first floor looking for you. She said she has something important to discuss with you. Do you want to see her? If so, I'll go downstairs and take her to the lounge on the third floor to wait for you."
Huo Sili frowned, while He Xu waited for an answer, as if he were a heartless block of wood.
He really wanted to say something, but when it came to Huo Sili, he didn't have the guts. Huo Sili had met him when he was studying abroad, and Huo Sili had saved his and his family's lives.
Later, a great deal of wealth and resources were spent to cultivate him. It can be said that without Horstley, there would be no Horstley today. He has no way to repay these kindnesses and will remember them all in his heart. But matters of the heart are the most troublesome.
Given his position and relationship with Huo Sili, if he were to directly intervene, it would likely only make things more chaotic. Acting as an inside man might be more useful. Thinking this, He Xu swallowed the words he was about to say.
"Have her wait for me in the lounge," Horst's voice rang out.
He Xu paused for a moment, but didn't say anything in the end. He quickly replied, "Yes."
……
On the first floor, Li Xueqian received a polite, even respectful, reply from the receptionist, which instantly made her feel exceptionally pleased.
The assistant, Yuan Yue, smiled charmingly: "I knew it, President Huo would definitely meet with Sister Xuexue."
At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and He Xu came out. When the receptionist saw He Xu, she looked at Li Xueqian with even greater respect.
Working at Huo's company, everyone knows that He Xu and the chief secretary, Secretary Jiang, are known as Huo's right-hand men.
Secretary Jiang is kind and gentle in her dealings with people. Over time, they naturally stopped being afraid of her and only respected her. But He Xu is different. This special assistant is even colder than President Huo, so cold that it hurts people's eyes.
Upon seeing He Xu emerge, the receptionists immediately stood up straighter.
When Li Xueqian saw He Xu, she couldn't help but recall what had happened that morning, and her expression immediately turned sour.
She just didn't expect that this person's face was even uglier than hers, but in public, Li Xueqian's sweet image couldn't be ruined.
She flashed a sweet smile: "Assistant He, Brother Sili..."
“Miss Li,” He Xu couldn’t help but say, “This is a company, and companies have their own rules. Please address our CEO Huo as CEO Huo, so as not to cause any misunderstandings.”
Li Xueqian's smile immediately cracked.
He Xu's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and the receptionist and the security guards on duty nearby, who had excellent hearing, naturally heard it as well. Immediately, some of them looked at each other.
Li Xueqian caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, and although she wasn't sure, her expression instantly turned even more unpleasant.
He Xu pretended not to see it, pressed the elevator button, and gestured, "Ms. Li, please come in."
Remembering what her agent, Sister Hong, had told her, Yuan Yue glanced at Li Xueqian and then at He Xu.
He quickly pulled Li Xueqian inside, saying, "Alright, let's get in the elevator, Xuexue-jie."
However, in that instant, her fingernail accidentally poked Li Xueqian's delicate hand.
The woman, who had been holding in her anger for most of the day, frowned and immediately shoved the man aside.
"Oh!"
In order to make herself appear taller and prettier in the Reuters video, the assistant Yuan Yue was deliberately chosen by Li Xueqian to be short. She has an extremely ordinary appearance, is less than 1.5 meters tall, and is thin and light.
Standing next to He Xu, she looked like a child.
With this sudden movement, Yuan Yue lost her balance and fell directly to the elevator entrance, just as the elevator doors closed automatically.
Yuan Yue noticed this and immediately let out another scream, drawing the attention of everyone around.
He Xu reacted quickly, blocking the closing elevator doors and bending down to help the person up.
Just then, a client came in on business and witnessed the scene, and was immediately shocked.
"What did I just see? That's Li Xueqian, the popular young actress who's been all over the internet lately? Her character is terrible, why did she push someone like that? And, doesn't that look like her assistant?"
Inside the elevator, Li Xueqian's face turned pale instantly.
Just then, a person appeared at the gate. Upon seeing the person, He Xu's eyes widened.
The two young ladies at the front desk recognized her immediately and called out in a clearly happy tone.
"Secretary Jiang!"
