Chapter 330: The right time, right place, right people...
As he walked towards the bathroom, Huo Qingzhou followed closely behind.
Zhou Ning turned around and looked at the anxious man in confusion.
Huo Qingzhou approached her and said meaningfully: "This time, it's my turn."
Feeling the man's breath, Zhou Ning's ears itched and she muttered, "Why are you so obsessed?"
"Haven't you heard the saying that the more you can't get something, the more you want it?"
Zhou Ning opened her mouth, unable to refute. Before she could react, Huo Qingzhou suddenly picked her up, with her feet off the ground. She reflexively hugged the man's neck.
Huo Qingzhou stared at her, his lips curled slightly: "The time and the place are right, the right person is right."
In the end, what Huo Qingzhou said really came true. This time, both the external environment and the internal conditions were in place, and Huo Qingzhou got what he wanted.
The price was that Zhou Ning lay on the bed, limp as a rock.
Huo Qingzhou's expression remained unchanged. He was calm and composed. He held Zhou Ning in his arms, rubbed her waist, and whispered softly, "Ningning, you've worked hard."
……
The next day, when Zhou Ning came to work, he felt sore in his waist shortly after sitting down at his workstation.
She rubbed her waist, and her mind recalled the domineering scene of Huo Qingzhou last night, who had taken her again and again, causing her waist to be a little sore now.
Lin Xin noticed Zhou Ning rubbing her waist and asked, "Zhou Ning, is your waist sore?"
Lin Xin's voice successfully attracted the attention of colleagues around her.
Zhou Ning responded embarrassedly.
But Lin Xin was a bit nervous and continued to ask, "Did you do manual labor at home?"
Zhou Ning pulled her lips, then said calmly: "I'm fine at home, I did some yoga."
Lin Xin suddenly laughed: "No wonder you have such a good figure, a good figure is indeed the result of training."
Seeing that Lin Xin didn't ask any more questions, Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief. The scene last night was too intense, and she felt embarrassed to continue thinking about it.
Suddenly, an angry voice was heard not far away.
"Put on your badge!"
Zhou Ning looked over and found that the head of the HR department was reminding employees to wear their ID cards. He immediately looked down and saw that he was wearing the ID card around his neck.
Afterwards, the head of the human resources department walked around, observed, and talked a lot.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Zhou Ning sat at his workstation and inexplicably felt that the company's management was particularly strict today. No matter how difficult it was to manage everything, he was afraid that something might go wrong.
Just when she was wondering, she found that Lin Xin beside her suddenly leaned over and blinked at her: "Zhou Ning, are you very curious about why the leaders are so nervous these days?"
Zhou Ning was almost frightened by Lin Xin's appearance.
Patting his chest lightly, Zhou Ning exhaled: "Why did you come here without making any sound?"
"You were just thinking too hard."
Zhou Ning calmed down and mentioned what the other party had just said.
Lin Xin looked around and lowered her voice: "I heard from the grapevine that our company's boss will be returning from abroad next week. It is said that this boss has a sharp tongue and is very strict with his subordinates. He only looks at their performance. Those without performance will not stay in the company for long. That's why the leader is so nervous."
"You see everyone is so serious, maybe they are afraid of being laid off."
After Lin Xin finished speaking, she quickly returned to her workstation for fear of being caught by her boss.
Zhou Ning understood a little bit. The company had always been managed by the vice president, so Zhou Ning didn't pay much attention to this matter at first.
Everyone is so nervous, probably waiting for the company's boss to return.
During the break, Zhou Ning picked up the water cup and prepared to make a cup of tea. Although everyone was nervous, she still tried to avoid being infected by this emotion and focused on combining work and rest.
As I approached the tea room, I happened to see a few colleagues gossiping in low voices nearby.
"I heard that Mr. Huo knows our boss. They were classmates before and they are very familiar with each other."
"Since they are classmates, they must be very familiar with each other. Do you think our boss is Huo Shaobai's moonlight? If so, Zhou Ning will be in trouble."
"Not really. Zhou Ning and Huo Shao seem to have a good relationship."
"Maybe they are performing for us to see, to maintain basic stability. Rich people have a lot of fun and their circles are very chaotic. Haven't you heard the saying that once Bai Yueguang comes back, everyone else has to give way. Bai Yueguang's lethality is very strong."
One of them was quite moved after hearing this and said angrily: "This sentence hits the nail on the head. I have been dating my ex for many years, and one day I suddenly found that he still had photos of Bai Yueguang in his photo album. After I found it, he had no choice but to tell me that he had not forgotten her after all these years. It's really funny and a waste of my time."
Zhou Ning stood there, listening quietly to these people's gossip.
Just as I was about to calm myself down, the next sentence suddenly hit my ears.
"Tell me, if our boss is really Mr. Huo's favorite, let's guess what Mr. Huo will do. If he abandons Zhou Ning, it will be miserable if Zhou Ning is kicked out."
Zhou Ning's expression suddenly changed.
She didn't want to listen to these people gossiping about her without any basis behind her back. The tone of their voices was as if they were hiding under her bed in the middle of the night, and only they could speak with such certainty.
Zhou Ning was about to say something when Lin Xin's loud voice suddenly came.
"What are you guys whispering about here? Do you think it's fun to talk about others behind their backs?"
When several people heard the voice, they looked over immediately. When they saw Zhou Ning, their expressions changed, their eyes flickered a few times, and they tried to maintain their composure on the surface.
One of them looked at Lin Xin and reminded her quietly, "Lin Xin, this is in the company, you'd better not make too much noise."
"This is my normal speaking volume. You guys are talking behind my back and you don't allow me to speak? I'm just saying, what's the matter?!"
When several people saw that Lin Xin's mouth was as if she had eaten a bomb and she kept defending Zhou Ning, they didn't say anything else. They smiled awkwardly at Zhou Ning and left quickly.
Lin Xinhui glanced at his colleague who was leaving and clenched his fists. He almost solved the problem with his fists just now.
Lin Xin looked worriedly at Zhou Ning who was standing beside her, and didn't know what to say for a moment. She was annoyed when she accidentally heard the speculations and discussions of those people behind her back, let alone Zhou Ning herself.
Patting Zhou Ning's shoulder gently, Lin Xin asked cautiously: "Zhou Ning, are you okay?"
After a few seconds, Zhou Ning shook his head: "I'm fine."
"That's good. Some people are just bored and making up stories. That's how rumors spread."
Zhou Ning nodded: "Thank you for what you did just now."
"You're welcome. It's just something that comes to mind."
Zhou Ning: "Be more careful next time in the company. Don't let me affect your work."
Zhou Ning was deeply moved by Lin Xin's generosity. There were not many people in this world who could be treated sincerely. But she didn't want Lin Xin to affect her career because of her.
It is very important for a girl to have a stable career of her own.
This is not only a way to realize one's own value, but also a way out.
Seeing Zhou Ning’s calm expression, Lin Xin felt relieved and walked towards her workstation.
Zhou Ning held the cup tightly and walked into the tea room.
