Chapter 21 - Watching Her Leave With Others

Huo Chengye stood inside his office and watched everything through the glass.

Normally, he would never pay attention to what was happening outside while he was working.

As long as it did not affect the company, he would not even spare it a glance.

But today was different.

From time to time, his eyes kept shifting toward Shen Yueran's direction without him even noticing it himself.

And because of that, he saw the entire scene clearly.

Shen Yueran walked in the middle with one hand on Lin Xueyao's shoulder and the other on Su Wanqing's shoulder.

The two women stayed close to her, blushing and giggling from time to time because of her teasing.

Looking at them like this, the whole scene strangely looked like some rich second-generation playboy going out with two beauties, one on each arm.

The moment this thought appeared in Huo Chengye's mind, his face turned extremely cold.

His gaze darkened immediately.

Especially when he noticed Lin Xueyao and Su Wanqing blushing more and more under Shen Yueran's teasing, an unknown irritation and anger slowly rose from his heart.

He stood there and watched them walk farther and farther away.

Then, without hesitation, he immediately pressed the urgent signal on the internal call.

At that same moment, Xu Chen, who had gone to another floor to finish some work, suddenly saw the urgent internal call light up.

His expression changed on the spot.

He did not even dare delay for a second.

He quickly turned around and ran straight toward the CEO's office.

As he ran, countless thoughts flashed through Xu Chen's mind.

Did something major happen in the company?

The more he thought about it, the more serious his face became.

By the time Xu Chen reached the office floor, his breathing had already become heavy from running.

He stopped outside the office for a moment, forced himself to calm down, then quickly straightened his clothes and entered.

The moment he stepped inside, he felt the atmosphere in the office was colder than usual.

Then he raised his eyes and looked toward Huo Chengye.

With one glance, Xu Chen's heart tightened.

Huo Chengye's face was extremely serious.

That expression alone was enough to make Xu Chen confirm one thing.

This matter was definitely serious.

Otherwise, how could it make even the always emotionless President Huo show such a look?

Xu Chen did not dare waste words.

He immediately asked, "President Huo, what happened?"

But the next words he heard instantly stopped all the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Huo Chengye looked at him coldly and said, "Investigate what Shen Yueran is up to and where she is going today."

Xu Chen froze.

For a second, he even suspected he had heard wrong.

He had run all the way here thinking some major incident had happened in the company.

In the end, the urgent matter was actually this?

Xu Chen's expression turned a little strange for a moment, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Yes, President Huo."

At the same time, outside, Shen Yueran naturally knew nothing about what was happening in Huo Chengye's office.

Her duty was to provide security for Huo Chengye according to the allocated schedule.

There was no need for her to follow him around every second.

And today was only her first day.

There was no important duty arranged for her at the moment.

So after leaving the office floor together with Lin Xueyao and Su Wanqing, Shen Yueran felt completely at ease.

Soon, she went along with the two women and met up with the others who were also planning to go out together.

The atmosphere was lively.

As soon as Shen Yueran appeared, many people immediately greeted her.

"Miss Shen!"

"Yueran, over here!"

"Come, come, we were just waiting for you."

Several male employees in the group had already started developing a crush on her after the earlier meeting.

Now that they saw her again, their enthusiasm became even more obvious.

Of course, Shen Yueran noticed everything clearly.

But she did not mind.

Instead, she smiled lazily and greeted them back one by one.

Seeing how enthusiastic everyone was, Shen Yueran could not help thinking in her heart that perhaps making this business deal with Huo Corporation was not bad after all.

At least the people here seemed quite pleasing to the eye.

Meanwhile, after leaving Huo Chengye's office, Xu Chen did not dare waste a single second.

He immediately hurried toward Shen Yueran's office first.

But when he arrived, he found the place empty.

Then he quickly went to the security department.

By the time he reached there, the entire place was already almost empty as well.

Xu Chen's expression became serious.

He immediately stopped one remaining employee and asked where the group had gone.

After getting the information clearly, he did not delay any further and turned around to report back at once.

Soon, Xu Chen returned to Huo Chengye's office.

After entering, he reported respectfully, "President Huo, Miss Shen left together with Lin Xueyao, Su Wanqing, and other male employees from the security department. They are going to an after-work party at a club tonight."

The moment those words fell, the seriousness on Huo Chengye's face not only did not lessen, it deepened even more.

His brows frowned tighter.

Standing there, Xu Chen also wore a serious expression.

Because at this moment, both of them were thinking of the same thing.

once she really lost control after drinking, it would not be a small matter at all.

With her temper, once something happened, it could easily rise to the level of killing someone.

At the same time, another scene suddenly flashed through his mind.

Only then did he finally understand something.

Earlier in the morning, when Shen Yueran was about to leave, Liang Zhen had clearly wanted to follow her.

But Han Rui, that idiot, had stopped him.

At that time, Han Rui had even looked quite satisfied with himself, as if he were doing something smart.

He probably thought he was creating some personal time and space between the boss and Shen Yueran.

Thinking of that now, Xu Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

Personal time?

What personal time?

He looked at Huo Chengye and cautiously asked, "President Huo, should we…"

He did not finish the sentence.

But the meaning was already clear.

Huo Chengye stood there silently for a moment.

His face remained cold and unreadable.

The thought of those men surrounding her and drinking with her made the irritation in Huo Chengye's heart grow heavier and heavier.
