CEO is Picky but Handsome - Chapter 45

On the other hand, outside the conference site.
After speaking in place of Huo Zhun, Ye Ling looked around at the reporters in front of him, cleared his throat, and continued:
“Of course, as an ordinary employee of Phoenix Group, from my personal perspective, I also believe that Mr. Huo will be able to take us out of our predicament. Past experience has illustrated this fact countless times, and I believe that this time, many employees feel the same way as I do. We are not afraid of setbacks and even less afraid of difficulties, because everything the outside world gives us will make us stronger.”
He looked at all the cameras calmly and firmly, in the few seconds after the words landed, the whole scene was quiet. All eyes were looking at this lean and thin young man, including Rong Sheng, who was not far away and holding a smile.
A few seconds later, the barrage of questions came rushing back.
“Assistant Ye, that means that the entire Phoenix Group is united, right?”
“Can you explain whether Phoenix Group and Yong Kang Group have private interests?”
“Will Mr. Huo take any action in response to the cooperation between the Rong Clan and the Yu Ming Consortium?”
“The Phoenix Group has not reacted to the current dilemma, is Mr. Huo brewing some big move?”
“Is there a reason why you are so confident in Mr. Huo?”
“Assistant Ye, a while ago the media had secretly captured a photo of you and Mr. Huo hugging on the street, may I ask if what you are saying now is not objective?”
“Is there a personal emotional factor involved in you supporting Mr. Huo in this way?”
“May I ask if you and Mr. Huo are not a couple?”
“Assistant Ye, please answer my question!”
Ye Ling never expected that a rather serious answer could be distorted by the media to a personal relationship issue. His first reaction was to dodge away, but the media were all trained for many years to be fiery-eyed, and as soon as he moved, there were a few camera-carrying, tall male journalists rushing in front of him, blocking his way. For a moment, Ye Ling’s panic and helplessness was clearly recorded, if not unexpected, this will become tomorrow’s gossip front page of the most unmissable gossip.
Ye Ling’s left and right sides were clumsy and full of woes, and he tried to break out of the media circle under the escort of his bodyguards several times. But his experience in dealing with the media is really not much, a few times can not be rushed out. At the critical moment, a few men dressed in black suddenly rushed out from a slanting direction, directly dragging away the reporters at the front and breaking open a path. Almost simultaneously, Ye Ling’s hand was grabbed.
“Follow me.”
The palms of those hands were warm, but the fingertips were slightly cold. Ye Ling wanted to shake it off, but couldn’t, so he had to stride out of the media circle under his lead. The man kept leading him out a long way, until all the human voices were left far behind, before the man stopped and turned back around.
“Thanks for relieving me, Mr. Rong,” Ye Ling drew back his hand, “I ……”
hadn’t finished speaking when his lips were suddenly blocked by a finger.
“Ning Ning, if there was no past, nowadays you are standing beside and helping Brother Sheng.” Rong Sheng smiled bitterly.
Ye Ling sidestepped his head and dodged his finger, it was an action of resistance, however, having just taken Rong Sheng’s favor, in this situation, the resistance in Ye Ling’s heart was ultimately less.
“Brother Sheng, why do you always cling to the past?” Ye Ling sighed, “I’ve already walked out, why do you just refuse to walk out and live a new life?”
“Brother Sheng also wants to start over,” Rong Sheng reached out his hand to him as if he wanted to embrace him in his arms, “Ning Ning, Brother Sheng has always wanted to start over with you, are you willing to?”
…… started again.
Ye Ling looked helplessly at the person in front of him for the hundredth time, realizing that every time he intended to speak properly with Rong Sheng, Rong Sheng would always use the relentless reality to prove to him that he was just a neurotic paranoid late-stage, and it didn’t make sense.
He rolled his eyes in his mind and took a step back, Rong Sheng’s hand just fell away.
“I’m not willing, sorry.” Ye Ling didn’t have the slightest hint of sorry in his eyes, “It’s getting late, I have other things to do, I’m sorry Mr. Rong, take a step back first.”
Rong Sheng’s gaze changed slightly, just about to stop Ye Ling’s way, Ye Ling had already faintly returned.
“I advise you that you better not act rashly, this is F country, it’s not up to you to do whatever you want.” Ye Ling snorted, “You don’t think that anyone will be like the media, take money and buy it.”
After saying that he turned around and left without looking back.
All the way to the underground parking lot, Rong Sheng did not catch up again. Thinking about it, Rong Sheng is not stupid, naturally he understands that he doesn’t have deep roots in F country, and that a hard fight with Huo Zhun won’t yield any results, so he simply and crisply let Ye Ling go. Ye Ling walked to the front of the car and looked through the windshield, the driver was sitting in the car, waiting for him. As soon as he pulled the car door, the lock was open, he smoothly sat in and said, “Go back to the company.”
“Back to the office for what?” The “driver” turned his head and smiled at him, “Didn’t I say yesterday, after attending the conference today, I’ll give you a half day off.”
Ye Ling’s eyebrows rose high.
“Huo Jun?” He lost his smile, “When did you get here?”
“Just arrived, just a few minutes.” Huo Zhun laughed, “I came over after listening to your generous speech, how was it, surprise?”
Ye Ling smiled and nodded, “No wonder the bodyguards didn’t follow me all the way, you sent them away, right?”
Huo Zhun smiles but doesn’t answer, lifting his hand to start the car, “Don’t go back to the company, go to my house.”
“Go to your house for what?” Ye Ling asked.
“Secret.”
The car started up, the shuttle general quietly sped out from the parking lot. The trees on the roadside kept falling back, Ye Ling watched with a smile on his face, only to feel that the chaos of the whole morning was cured by this one simple surprise.
“I’ve read that betting agreement of the Rain Name Group, there’s nothing too wrong with it, it should be true.”Halfway through the road, Ye Ling’s occupational disease is offending and he can’t help but start reporting back, “It’s rumored that they have another betting agreement, the subject is also our shares, do you think ……”
“Ye Ling,” Huo Zhun stretched out his hand to beg for forgiveness, “Can we occasionally have a day where we don’t talk about work, just one day okay?”
Ye Ling looked at him with a complicated expression, “But ……”
“There’s nothing but, let’s save the big things for tomorrow.” Huo Zhun doesn’t know if it’s good or bad to like a workaholic, but at this moment, he’s really giving in, “Let’s not talk about work today. Don’t you want to guess why I want to take you to my house?”
Ye Ling’s gaze paused, then cooperatively made a thinking look. But that look was so fake that Huo Jun couldn’t stand it after three seconds.
“Forget it, you’ll know later.”
The car crosses the street and drives directly into Huo Jun’s villa on the outskirts of the city. The courtyard is quiet, Ye Ling steps out of the car door, looking left and right he doesn’t see anything wrong, he’s about to move forward again, but Huo Zhun calls out.
“Wait, I have to tie this on for you.”
Huo Zhun also doesn’t know where he got a piece of red cloth, greeting to give Ye Ling to blindfold on his eyes. Ye Ling subconsciously rejected it and laughed dryly, “You’re not serious, are you?”
“The guest follows the host, you tie it or not.” Huo Zhun plays a rogue.
When he plays a scoundrel, the gods are all out of luck. Ye Ling obediently let him blindfold himself, and in an instant, there was only a reddish patch in front of her eyes.
“How is it, can’t see, right?”
The tip of his nose felt the wind, it should be Huo Zhun waving his hand in front of him. Ye Ling felt childish, but wanted to laugh, “Can’t see.”
“Then hold onto my hand.”
Ye Ling then hands over his hand to Huo Jun’s palm and lets him guide him forward. There’s a small slope here, raise your foot here; there’s a hurdle to step over here, walk at ease here. In a haze, he hears the sound of the wind and the trees, as well as this carefully leading, reassuring speaking voice beside him. He suddenly realized that long ago, he had given this voice his full trust without reservation.
“Careful, one more step and you’ll be there.”
The warmth of mingling came from each other’s palms as the man stood on the steps and turned back to him, his hands supporting his body. Perhaps the inability to see things in turn makes the mood more lucid, Huo Jun’s breathing close to his ears, along with the familiar end of his voice when he speaks, calling Ye Ling in a certain moment, having the illusion of wishing for time to stop.
“Huo Jun, I ……”
He subconsciously went to grab Huo Jun’s hand and pounced.
The next moment, the cloth covering his eyes was removed.
“Happy Birthday!”
