Lin Xiaow11 was extremely sensitive when faced with the stares of the people sizing her up. As she had lived with her grandmother in Northern City since she was young, she would always be pointed at and gossiped about whenever she went out. Although she knew that the people who were looking at them here were only gossiping, it was torturous for Lin Xiaowan.
She was afraid that people were talking bad about her, even though they were strangers.
However, she still felt uncomfortable. She held Huo Zheng's hand tightly and wanted to run away.
The man glanced around expressionlessly. His eyes were dignified without anger. Those who worked in the Huo Corporation were afraid of being remembered by the big boss. If they were fired the next day because they had one foot in the company first, they would quickly look away and pretend to talk to the people beside them.
He looked straight ahead and led them around a corner, disappearing into the corridor.
The people on the floor craned their necks and started gossiping.
"This is our Lady Boss? I've long heard that we have a lady boss, but I didn't expect it to be a young lady! I thought she would be a good wife and loving mother, hahahaha."
"Your skin is so fair. You look a little introverted."
"D * mn, is this underage? It looked so small. As expected, men liked young women. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
"What's wrong? Are you envious? Even if you're envious, you should still look for one. With the big boss's looks and wealth, it's not strange for him to find any kind of person."
The person who spoke just now hammered another person."I'm just saying, so what if she's young? I don't like her. I have a wife and a family. Why wouldn't I like my wife?"
"Aiya, but the lady boss looks so cute. I'm a girl who likes her so much."
Huo Zheng led his men to the lounge first.
The cold and dignified big boss now lowered his eyes and said to the little girl beside him with a gentle expression,"If you feel uncomfortable, we won't go."
Lin Xiaowan felt a little embarrassed and muttered softly,""Come, come, come, come, come"
One of the virtues of the people of Shangxia was that they were already here.
"Don't be nervous," Huo Zheng said with a smile."People are just curious.""
Lin Xiaowan could understand. After all, a high and mighty big boss suddenly brought a female companion over. If she were to be a bystander, she would also take a few more glances.
He might even have to tell the people around him,"Look, the big boss actually brought a female companion."
She wasn't worried about these discussions. She was just afraid that people wouldn't like her, think that she and Huo Zheng weren't compatible, and secretly badmouth her.
No malicious speculations!
Lin Xiaowan didn't allow herself to think any further and forced herself to stop thinking.
She didn't want to be with Huo Zheng. No matter where he went, he would always be the center of attention. It was too stressful to be with him.
Huo Zheng checked her phone's battery and signal."Call me if there's anything, or come find me. Stay on this floor and don't run around, understand?"
"I know. I'm not a three-year-old child."
Huo Zheng scratched the tip of her nose."You're not as obedient as a child."
Lin Xiaowan didn't bring her bag today. She bounced away after putting her phone away.
Apart from the formal banquet, there was also a buffet table next to the banquet hall. Lin Xiaowan was holding a small white porcelain plate as she ate and drank.
The stage area could also be clearly seen from this side. On the stage, there were a few long-legged sisters who were showing off their beautiful figures dancing, causing a wave of cheers. The venue was very lively. No matter where everyone sat, there were many people holding wine glasses and walking around to exchange greetings and toast.
There was a roasted duck table with freshly freshly sliced and rolled ducks. There was no one around, so she just stood there. The auntie rolled one and she ate one. The auntie was so happy that she fed the duck enthusiastically and even asked her to go to the side to get a cup to get something to drink.
"Why don't you eat at the banquet? The boss of your company is really rich. Today's menu is full of big dishes."The auntie asked her.
The banquet was held at a round table. She didn't know anyone, so she was afraid that it would be awkward if others asked her about it, or if they had seen her and Huo Zheng together. If they met again, she didn't know what to say.
Anyway, there were soft Changsha and banquet chairs to sit on. Moreover, there were also people from the company chatting in twos and threes here, so she was not out of the ordinary.
Lin Xiaowan didn't tell the truth. She smiled and said,""I don't want to go over."
There were no more shredded green onions, so the auntie went to the kitchen to cut some new green onions. Lin Xiaowan didn't stand there and wait. She walked around and passed the useless plate to the waiter. Then, she used a small teacup to fill two ice cream balls.
It had been a long time since he had experienced the feeling of eating whatever he wanted!
When he walked back, he saw a girl holding a wine glass standing at the front of the stage.
The girl's face was a little red, probably because she had drunk alcohol. She was very familiar with him."Are you here to eat roast duck too? The roast duck was really not bad! The skin is especially crispy."
Lin Xiaowan was too embarrassed to say that she had been eating here for half a day.
The girl saw the ice cream ball in her hand and asked,"Where did you get this? I want to eat too."
"Over there." Lin Xiaowan pointed and saw that the ice-cream bucket in the freezer didn't seem too obvious. She said," Let me bring you there?"
"Okay."
As they walked, the girl chatted with Lin Xiaowan. She hadn't been working at the Huo Corporation for long and thought that Lin Xiaowan was also an employee of the Huo Corporation."Are you also an employee of the headquarters? I don't think I've seen you before."
Whenever a topic that she didn't know how to answer appeared, Lin Xiaowan would choose to giggle and change the topic.
She thought that strictly speaking, she should be considered a family member, right?
Although Huo Zheng was still chasing after her, he could be considered as half a family member. Anyway, if nothing unexpected happened, she would probably always be with Huo Zheng.
The girl didn't really want to find out about her background. She asked casually and started gossiping."I heard that the big boss came today with his wife. Have you seen her?"
Lin Xiaowan's heart skipped a beat from the sudden question. She carefully sized up the girl beside her."Have you seen it?"
"No, I came a little late. Sigh, my colleague said that I came a little late with the big boss and the lady boss."
Phew, it was still alright. Lin Xiaowan heaved a sigh of relief and said briskly,""I didn't see it either."
"I heard that the lady boss is very good-looking. I wonder if I will have the chance to see her tonight. I'm looking forward to it."
The girl leaned closer to Lin Xiaowan and whispered to her,""Let me tell you, quite a few people who saw the lady boss thought that the boss was an old cow eating young grass. Hahahahahaha. The lady boss looked at the little girl."
"Ah, I don't think so…The boss is only 25 or 26 years old this year."Lin Xiaowan silently spoke up for Huo Zheng." That girl must at least, um…You must have graduated from university."
The age difference between them was really very small! There was no generation gap!
The girl looked at him in surprise." This must be fake news. Did you see the scandal reported by the marketing account a long time ago? The one who brought the photo and said she was getting married. That scandal has long been refuted by our group's legal department. The other party is just a scheming woman who wants to climb up the rich and powerful."
