Chapter 21 You're afraid people will find out we're having an affair

When Shao Yan thought about the message she received from Huo Xiao late that day, she didn't have a very good impression of him.

A man who is alone late at night with a glass of wine is the type who is secretly passionate and lonely.

If she replies to his message at this time, will he think the same way about her?

The fingers that had been stroking the screen were finally withdrawn.

However, Huo Xiao's message kept Shao Yan awake, and she felt like she was being scratched by a cat, torn between replying and not replying.

Half an hour later, Shao Yan was wide awake, with Huo Xiao's last text message still hanging on the screen.

"Is your hand feeling any better?"

A simple greeting is filled with the ambiguity between a man and a woman, and the obvious lust that everyone knows about.

Shao Yan felt a lump in her throat.

Putting aside Huo Xiao's ulterior motives towards her, he was the only one who cared about her.

Shao Yan fell asleep in a daze, and it wasn't until nine o'clock the next day that she replied to the message.

"Attorney Huo, I'm sorry, it's too late and I've already gone to sleep. Thank you for your concern, my hand is fine now."

At lunchtime at the company, Shao Yan and Han Yifei's simultaneous appearance inevitably attracted strange looks from everyone.

Taking advantage of the meal, Han Yifei simply introduced Shao Yan to his colleagues at the company.

Everyone only heard the title of vice president and marveled at Shao Yan's beautiful face.

But he was very dissatisfied with Shao Yan's position as the second-in-command in the company at such a young age.

They had followed Han Yifei for several years, yet he was always subordinate to Shao Yan, and no one was convinced of this.

"Zhao Shen, from now on, General Manager Shao will concurrently serve as the head of your department, succeeding Head Manager Yu."

Zhao Shen looked Shao Yan up and down, a hint of ambiguity in his eyes.

"Mr. Han, may I ask Miss Shao who is—"

Zhao Shen left half of his sentence unsaid, but everyone understood the meaning.

Han Yifei also smiled in a rather meaningful way.

"What the boss means is, Mr. Shao, Manager Zhao likes to joke around, please don't mind him."

Shao Yan showed no signs of embarrassment or anger as expected; her expression remained composed and dignified.

Please guide me in the future.

Zhao Shenqian chuckled twice: "It is I who hope that President Shao will give me more guidance in the future."

Shao Yan barely ate a few bites of her meal before returning to her office.

Han Yifei's vague introduction clearly led people to misunderstand that she relied on nepotism; in fact, she had never even met the president of Fit.

At 3 p.m., assistant Feng Ying came to knock on the door.

"Mr. Shao, Supervisor Zhao has asked for leave because of a very important family matter. His department still has more than a dozen system vulnerabilities to fix, and this has always been Supervisor Zhao's responsibility. With him gone, everyone in the technical department is in an uproar. What do you think we should do?"

Feng Ying was transferred to Shao Yan's side as an assistant; she was originally from the technical department.

The colleagues there weren't familiar with Shao Yan and didn't know who she was, so they begged Feng Ying to help them.

Shao Yan was already familiar with the process; it was simply that Zhao Shen was not convinced by her and wanted to give her a hard time.

"I'll go take a look."

Technical and engineering problems were no challenge for Shao Yan. When she first took over the Meng Group, she restructured the internal system to ensure the security of information and data.

A small loophole is no problem at all.

Ten minutes later, Shao Yan came out of the server room. In addition to all systems returning to normal operation, Shao Yan also reinforced the security system and completed its upgrade. All the company colleagues present were stunned.

"Mr. Shao, is everything finished? So quickly?"

Even if they work day and night, it will take at least five days for their CEO, Mr. Zhao, to fix these vulnerabilities.

Fixing all vulnerabilities and completing a full upgrade of the security system in ten minutes—what kind of inhuman operation is that?

Shao Yan nodded: "The Fit is still using the third generation system, while some companies have already reached the first generation or even higher."

What she didn't say was that the Fit was using a model that she had already phased out at the Meng Group. Given that the Fit could still trample the Meng Group underfoot under such circumstances, one can imagine how terrifying the Fit's president must be.

As Han Yifei passed by the Technical Engineering Department, he saw through the glass that Shao Yan was surrounded by her colleagues, and thunderous applause erupted from inside.

He paused, looked for a while, then curled his lips into a smile, a faint shadow appearing in the corner of his eye, before leaving.

Han Yifei was waiting for Shao Yan in her office.

"Good job. Zhao Shen's leave was really ill-timed. If you hadn't been here, I would have had a hard time explaining it to the boss."

Shao Yan looked at Han Yifei and slightly parted her red lips.

"Meng Yu said you're a despicable person. I didn't take it to heart before, but now it seems to be true."

Han Yifei smiled dismissively.

"Just testing you out. You've got some skills. When are you free to grab a bite?"

Shao Yan didn't want to have too much contact with this kind of person. She wanted her relationship with Han Yifei to be limited to work-related matters in the future, and she didn't want to have any personal feelings for him in private.

"No need, I think Mr. Han must be very busy."

Shao Yan refused decisively, and after Han Yifei finished his nonsense, he relayed a message.

"The boss said he'd like to have a two-person online meeting with you in a couple of days, so get ready. I've already uploaded your performance today, and he's very satisfied."

Shao Yan lowered her eyelids slightly, which meant that Zhao Shen's scheme to create a demon was not only Han Yifei's doing, but also the arrangement of the Fit's boss.

After Han Yifei left, Shao Yan was inexplicably angry. How bored must this man be to do such a thing?

As Shao Yan exited her Honda Fit after get off work, a black Maybach pulled up smoothly in front of her.

Through the half-lowered car window was Huo Xiao's angular face.

"Ms. Shao, you've changed jobs?"

Shao Yan was startled by his sudden appearance and instinctively looked to both sides, afraid that someone had discovered her.

"Instead of thanking me, why don't you treat me to a meal?"

Huo Xiao had already opened the car door and gotten out.

He leaned against the car, his tall and slender figure exuding a noble and charming aura, and many girls couldn't help but stop and stare when they saw him.

"it is good."

When Shao Yan saw Han Yifei coming out of the company, she immediately slipped into Huo Xiao's car like a fish.

Huo Xiao sat next to her in the back seat, a deep, muffled laugh escaping his sexy throat.

"Does Miss Shao often do shady things?"

Shao Yan was somewhat annoyed. If it weren't for him, this peacock, why would she need to hide?

Huo Xiao lowered the front partition and leaned aggressively toward her.

"Or are you afraid people will find out we're having an affair?"

Shao Yan's face flushed bright red.

There was absolutely nothing between her and Huo Xiao, yet he insisted on describing their relationship in an extremely filthy way.

Shao Yan leaned back nervously, but the back seat was only so big, and no matter where she retreated, Huo Xiao held her firmly in place.

The closer he got, the more she could smell the pleasant cedar scent emanating from him.

"Where would Attorney Huo like to go?"

Shao Yan tried to keep her distance from him.

Seeing that she was as frightened as a rabbit, both cute and pitiful, Huo Xiao stopped teasing her.

"How many men does Miss Shao attract by always acting so good and bullying?"

Shao Yan couldn't understand why a man who was rumored to be abstinent and uninterested in women would act as if he wanted to devour her the moment he saw her.

His eyes were like an eagle's, and Shao Yan didn't dare to look him in the eye, but she was also angry at what he said.

"Attorney Huo, is there a crime called defamation in the law?"
