Chapter 1193 Bah, capitalists!
Jiang's mother already liked Huo Yanchen quite a bit, and last night she felt that Huo Yanchen had been a great help.
She went over affectionately and patted Huo Yanchen's arm.
“My daughter Manman is being immature and causing you trouble. She’s always been like this since she was little, very naughty. Now that she’s an adult, she might have some impulsive thoughts, and she doesn’t talk to us, her parents, about them. Sigh!”
"Ever since my Manman has had someone she likes, she's become even more cautious. It's true that the one who falls in love first is always humble. I don't even know who the other person is or how outstanding they are that they can make my Manman so devoted."
Huo Yanchen: "..."
Huo Yanchen's expression stiffened slightly, while Jiang Manman beside him wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground.
Jiang Manman looked as if she were facing a formidable enemy. She felt that if her mother continued to talk to Huo Yanchen, she would lose even more face. She was talking about having someone she liked at home and even guessing who that person was in front of Huo Yanchen.
So she stopped in her tracks, then turned back, forcefully inserting herself between her mother and Huo Yanchen, separating the two and pushing Huo Yanchen aside.
"Mom, what are you saying? I'm not devoted at all. I've already let go. Don't spread rumors about me outside."
Jiang's mother couldn't help but say, "Manman, aren't you in a hurry to go to work? Why haven't you gone yet?"
Jiang Manman was so anxious just now, but now she doesn't seem anxious at all.
Jiang Manman said, "The company boss is right here, why should I be in such a hurry? Isn't that like the emperor not being worried but the eunuch being anxious?"
"Mom, Mr. Huo is very busy with his affairs. He doesn't have time to come to our house to play around. Please make him leave." Jiang Manman felt uncomfortable whenever she saw Huo Yanchen.
Who knows what Huo Yanchen's parents will say to him when he's home?
Jiang Manman had considered telling her parents about her feelings for Huo Yanchen before, but now she was thinking, "Luckily, my parents don't know, this is my dark history!"
"What's wrong with you today, Yan Chen? Did your sister-in-law interfere with your work?" Jiang's mother asked kindly.
Huo Yanchen shook his head: "No, there are many employees in the company, and I don't have to do everything."
Jiang Manman scoffed, "Pah, capitalists!"
"Exploiting employees, not giving them a single penny!"
Jiang Manman cursed softly, and her mother couldn't hear her clearly, but Huo Yanchen heard her perfectly.
However, Huo Yanchen was not angry at all; instead, a smile appeared on his lips.
He didn't exploit his employees, nor was he stingy. At Huo's, effort and reward are proportional, and the welfare benefits of Huo's Group are not bad at all.
In fact, in order to compete with the DG Group and surpass Bo Qing, his company offered better benefits than the DG Group, and those employees were all devoted to their work.
"I called you here today to thank you for your help to Manman last night. It just so happens that Miss Shen and Miss Xiao are also here. I would like to cook lunch for you myself."
Jiang's mother knew that Jiang Manman liked Shen Yuan and Xiao Ning very much, and that the two of them were also Jiang Manman's good friends.
Jiang Manman couldn't help but remind her, "Mom, both Yuan Yuan and Ning Ning are pregnant. You have to be careful when you cook. You absolutely can't put in anything that pregnant women can't eat!"
This is not something to be taken lightly.
Jiang's mother nodded: "I know, I know. Don't worry, I personally picked out all the vegetables early this morning. They're very fresh, and they're all safe for pregnant women to eat."
Jiang's mother led Huo Yanchen inside. On the sofa, Jiang's father, who had been chatting happily with Shen Yuan, turned pale the moment he saw Huo Yanchen.
He doesn't like Huo Yanchen!
She seduced his daughter, and now his little darling has turned into this!
So when Jiang's father saw Huo Yanchen, he didn't move.
It was Jiang's mother who called out to him: "What are you doing sitting there? Didn't you see Yan Chen? We were so grateful to Yan Chen last night, why don't you take good care of him?"
Huo Yanchen didn't care about Jiang's father's differential treatment, since it had already been exposed before.
Jiang's father reluctantly stood up: "Brother Yan Chen, come and sit down."
Not long after, two more luxury cars parked in the Jiang family's yard.
The butler went to greet them; it was Bo Qing and Mo Shi.
Jiang's father never expected that he would have the opportunity to meet these two people again. Bo Qing's reputation goes without saying, and the Mo family is also very famous.
Jiang's father usually didn't have any contact with these people, and of course, it wasn't something he could just do whenever he wanted.
"President Bo, President Mo, what brings you here!" Jiang's father was both surprised and shocked, and subconsciously looked at Huo Yanchen sitting over there.
The relationship between Bo Qing and Huo Yanchen was irreconcilable.
Over the years, they haven't exactly fought tooth and nail, neither willing to back down, but they've certainly been in a competitive relationship, and their rivalry has never stopped.
Especially in the early years, it was a time of bloodshed and turmoil.
As Jiang's father was on Huo Yanchen's side, he naturally had less contact with Bo Qing.
“My wife stayed at Mr. Jiang’s house last night, and I’m here to pick her up.” Bo Qing’s tone was indifferent, revealing no emotion.
“We just invited Miss Shen and Miss Xiao to stay for lunch. Would you two like to…” Jiang’s father said, glancing at Huo Yanchen.
After noticing that Huo Yanchen's expression showed no objection, she continued, "Would you like to stay and have lunch together?"
“Okay,” Bo Qing agreed.
Jiang's father breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly poured tea for the two of them.
Bo Qing sat down next to Shen Yuan, who asked, "How much did you drink with Huo Yanchen last night, and what time did you drink?"
Bo Qing said, "I didn't drink any; I've switched to tea."
"Aren't you afraid you won't be able to sleep if you drink tea in the middle of the night?" Shen Yuan said.
Mr. Jiang, are you listening? They went out for tea together last night?
The relationship between these two doesn't seem to be as rumored.
Moreover, even in the same space, there was no tense atmosphere.
Could the rumors be false?
Jiang Manman was still watching from the side, and when she finally realized what was happening, she felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy.
"Oh no! I'm going to be late for work!"
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to the company now. You must treat my friend well!"
After saying that, Jiang Manman rushed off to work.
If she rushes there now, she's destined to be late. Even if her driver takes her, it's impossible for her to arrive within ten minutes.
Huo Yanchen picked up his phone and sent a message to his secretary.
Soon, the secretary sent the message to each employee's email address.
Today's attendance time has been postponed by two hours. Everyone can take their time and not rush to get to work. For employees who have already arrived at the company to clock in, these two hours will be considered overtime.
Jiang Manman was initially very anxious to rush over, but after seeing the email, she relaxed.
But why would the company make such an announcement? Did Huo Yanchen make this special adjustment for her?
