Chapter 84 - 84: Daily Life
The Huo Corporation was a huge enterprise with many subsidiary companies. It was only natural that Huo Zheng had more than one secretary. He had many things to deal with every day, and if he had just one secretary, the other party would definitely burn out.
“There are eight secretaries under the Secretary-General.”
“So you have nine secretaries in total?”
Lin Xiaowan had only met Assistant Song. After finding out that Huo Zheng had so many secretaries, she could not help but ask, “Then, do you have a lot of assistants as well?”
“Assistant Song is the only one who liaises with me.”
In other words, Huo Zheng had other assistants as well, but Huo Zheng did not have much contact with them. It was the same for the secretaries as well; they usually did not have many chances to interact with Huo Zheng.
“Since you’re so curious, why don’t you come to the company to have a look?” Huo Zheng suggested.
Lin Xiaowan was not interested at all. She said without hesitation, “No, it’s okay.”
In her opinion, it would be boring to visit the company. Everyone would be working, and what was she going to do? Stand by the window and look at the scenery? Or should she act like the boss and inspect the employees? Forget it. If anything, the employees were more likely to inspect her.
At the beginning of June, Gu Yuwu returned from filming. She knew that Lin Xiaowan was preparing to open a dessert shop so she went to have a look.
Lin Xiaowan was very enthusiastic when she showed Gu Yuwu around, explaining in detail the division of labor.
Gu Yuwu nodded and said, “The location is very good. I’m sure that many will come when you open your store.”
“Maybe there’ll be people who come just to satisfy their curiosity as well…”
The matter between Zhu Yingyue and her husband was not out in the open, but those in the same circle were vaguely aware of it. Although they were aware of it, they also tactfully remained silent. Since the people involved seemed to have come to an agreement, outsiders naturally would not come up and cause trouble for no reason. At most, they would gossip about it among themselves.
Gu Yuwu said, “That’s right. There may be people who’ll come just to see you.”
“What’s there to see?”
Gu Yuwu smiled and said, “After all, you have Huo Zheng. There are only advantages and no disadvantages if they get close to you… You might know this yourself, but you’re quite famous in the circle of aristocratic families and celebrities. You don’t attend many events and the Huo family also rarely mentions you so people are even more curious about you…”
As they walked down from the second floor, Gu Yuwu suddenly had an idea. She said, “When the time comes, you can turn the second floor into a VIP area for those wealthy ladies. Create a separate price list for the. For example, a slice of cake on the first floor cost 18 yuan, but it’ll cost 78 yuan on the second floor.”
“No, no. It won’t look good for the store if this gets out. Moreover, those people might not even come. The second floor is so spacious. If those ladies you mentioned didn’t come, it’ll be a waste of space,” Lin Xiaowan said, refusing decisively.
Gu Yuwu smiled and did not say anything.
Those wealthy ladies were idle and could be found everywhere. What kind of status did the Huo family have? Many families could not compare to the Huo family at all. Now that an opportunity to build a connection to the Huo family was given to them, how could they not seize it? It was likely that many were eager to come and get to know Lin Xiaowan.
When the two of them stood at the door, Gu Yuwu took a few steps forward and pointed to a seat by the window as she said domineeringly, “You’ll have a private room on the second floor, right? Save this window seat for me, do you hear me? I want to be the first patron of your shop.”
“Alright.”
In June, the weather in Shengjing was quite good, and it was suitable for traveling.
Gu Yuwu wanted to take photos so she brought Lin Xiaowan out with her to have fun. The model this time was someone Lin Xiaowan was familiar with; it was none other than Chang Ning, the actress who played a valiant character in the fantasy drama.
Chang Ning was dressed casually today, and her short hair fell around the nape of her neck. All in all, she looked good. She leaned against the entrance of the subway station lazily. Her head was lowered, and she was wearing a mask. She was looking at her phone expressionlessly at this moment.
Seeing that Chang Ning was unaware of their presence, Gu Yuwu quietly raised her camera and took a photo of Chang Ning.
“She looks so cool like this…”
Chang Ning looked aloof and distant. She did not look like she was waiting for someone. Instead, she looked like she was waiting for her subordinate.
However, when Chang Ning looked up and saw the two young women, the aloof expression on her face vanished immediately. Her eyes curved immediately. Even if her mouth was covered, it was clear that she was smiling. She no longer looked as unapproachable as before. She straightened her back as they walked over.
Chang Ning was dressed in her usual attire today, looking cool and cool. She casually leaned against the entrance of the subway station, her short black hair messy around her neck. She had her head lowered and a mask on her face. She was holding her phone in one hand and looking at it expressionlessly.
Based on Gu Yuwu’s style, they took the photos casually. There was no fixed location or setting. They wandered around and took photos as they went..
