CEO is Picky but Handsome - Chapter 7

Although Huo Zhun thing forced, but to the son is a request never slow. A while ago, Huo Xiaoming had a whim and asked his dad to change to a different limousine every day to pick himself up from school, Huo Zhun not only complied, but also sometimes drove himself to meet the requirements. This is called vanity is flourishing development period of Huo Xiaoming students are very dignified, along with the daily wake-up calls are a lot better.
Every time Huo Jun goes to school, he calls on Ye Ling. Ever since Huo Xiaoming applied to his teacher to have Ye Rui be his deskmate, the two kids have completely become good friends. Huo Xiaoming had been spoiled since he was young and had always had only followers and no friends in school. Therefore, Huo Jun is happy to see him socialize with his peers, and is genuinely kind to Ye Rui.
This day is Friday, Huo Jun called Ye Ling to pick up Huo Xiaoming from school as usual. When they arrive at the school entrance, they see two small figures with backpacks walking out side by side from afar. One was wearing a dark blue school uniform suit, walking in a regular manner, that was Ye Rui; one took off his jacket and put it between his arms, walking in a dashing manner as if he were a children’s clothing model, that was Huo Ming.
From a distance, the two fathers immediately recognized their sons.
Huo Jun stepped out of the car door and waved at Huo Ming from afar. Huo Ming jumps up high in joy, running towards his dad from a long distance away and crashing headfirst into Ye Ling’s arms.
“Uncle Ye!”
Huo Jun flattens his mouth and shrinks back his open embrace.
Ye Ling wipes away the sweat on Huo Ming’s head and takes the clothes from his hand and asks, “Why don’t you wear a jacket after sweating so much? It’s almost fall, what if you catch a cold?”
“I just went for a run and it was too hot, so I didn’t wear it. I know it’s wrong, I’ll wear it next time.” Huo Ming squints and smiles.
“Running? I remember you told me last time that you guys were having a field day.” Huo Jun frowns, “Tomorrow?”
“Well, I’m running the men’s two hundred and four hundred.” Huo Xiaoming proudly puffs out his chest, and it just so happens that Ye Rui also walks over, he pulls Ye Rui over and sells himself, “Uncle Ye, guess, what program is Rui Rui tomorrow?”
Ye Ling lost his smile, “Ye Rui also has a project? What is it?”
“No …… not a project ……,” Ye Rui stammered, his cheeks flushed.
“It’s the recorder.” Huo Ming snaps, “Teacher said that Rui Rui has a fine heart and is best suited to be a student recorder.”
Ye Rui lowered his head half shyly and half nervously.
Ye Ling guessed what he was thinking. He probably thinks that Huo Ming can win glory for the class, but he can only be a recorder who records grades and will disappoint his father.
But how could that be? Dad only wants you to be happy.
“Recorder, ah, it’s also quite good. Huo Ming can win honor for the class, Ye Rui can help the teacher share the work, you’re both great.” Ye Ling stroked the two furry little heads and laughed.
Suddenly, the beautiful atmosphere was interrupted.
“That …… time is getting late, isn’t it time to go home?” It turns out that President Huo, who has been ignored for a long time, is a bit upset and urges his son to go home before he recognizes him as his father.
Huo Xiaoming instantly senses his dad’s thoughts, shrugs helplessly, hops over to open the door, and hops into the car. Huo Jun follows suit. The second before the car door closes, Huo Xiaoming pokes out a furry head.
“Uncle Ye, tomorrow our school will have a field day in the morning and afternoon, and at noon each class will have a big party and get-together. The teacher said for each of us to bring a dish to school, and the students will eat it together.”
“Each person brings a dish? And it’s such a hassle?” Huo Zhun frowns as he listens, “I’ll just have the seafood restaurant send a table to your school when the time comes, won’t that be enough?”
Huo Xiaoming glares at his dad and ignores him. Ye Ling was even more surprised by some of his own boss’s earthy behavior, so he just smiled, “Okay, thank you for reminding Uncle Ye, Uncle Ye will remember to bring it to Ye Rui.”
“Then, goodbye Uncle Ye.”
“See you later Huo Ming as well.”
“Cough cough,” President Huo, who was treated like air, gets upset again, he drags his son back with one hand and presses that furry little head to act high and mighty, “Ye Ling, tomorrow’s board meeting, you remember to get to the company early.”
Ye Ling froze, “Uh, I know.”
Huo Zhun nods and instructs the driver, “Let’s go.”
Before the engine starts, Huo Xiaoming takes a bite out of his dad’s hand.
“Hiss–”
When Phoenix Group was founded, there were only three shareholders, and then after a series of developments, the shares were gradually diluted, new funds were injected, and the board of directors slowly grew to ten people.
Of these ten people, Huo Jun owned 32.5% of all the shares, was the absolute controlling shareholder, and held control of the entire Phoenix Group. He was responsible for controlling the direction of Phoenix Group’s development and informing the other nine directors of the group’s development every six months.
The main topic of this directors’ meeting was to inform the development of the group in the first half of the year, and to discuss and deploy the development direction for the next half year.
If Phoenix Group is a big ship, then Huo Jun is the captain, first mate, helmsman and cooking mom of this big ship. To ensure his control over the group, he had to hold every aspect of the group firmly in his hands and not give the other nine directors any chance to question him. That was why every year at the directors’ meeting, he was on standby, personally controlling every aspect of the meeting, making sure that everything was in order.
Over the past years, this big ship has been traveling smoothly under Huo Jun’s control, but this year, things might not be so smooth.
Early in the morning, Huo Jun tripped over the steps in front of the door, and when he sat in the car due to absentmindedness, the side of his head directly knocked on the car door, “bang”, especially loud.
Ye Ling rushed to him to find a cold towel ice packs, compresses all the way, compresses the towel are ZiZi hot, the side or not to live up to expectations swollen up a piece. Press, the pain Huo Jun straight bare teeth.
Beastly intuition told him that today there is a possibility that it will not be too smooth.
He guessed right.
At the same time he steps into his office, the phone rings, assistant Miss Lin Fei morning low blood sugar fainted, has been rushed to the hospital emergency.
He pinched the phone and stood in the center of the large office, half a moment, a sneer.
How important is an excellent assistant to the president?
The answer is, very important.
He will do some speeches for the president on many important occasions that he doesn’t have to do in person, such as the chairman’s speech at today’s board meeting; he will find out the information that the president needs in a second when the president needs it by virtue of his high degree of tacit understanding with the president, such as today’s director’s questioning session; he will even pretend to be a black face for the president to block off for the president when the president doesn’t feel comfortable answering certain questions, while the president, he just needs to smile.
So this fainting of Ms. Lin Fei has given Huo Jun a headache.
He took the position of Phoenix’s president at a young age, and the other nine directors were once very unconvinced. However, his thunderous tactics had firmly suppressed the other nine, making it so that over the years, they had never dared to make trouble. However, if they don’t make trouble, they will always try to find some pain for Huo Zhun, so every directors’ meeting has become their main performance stage.
If Huo Jun really reads from the beginning to the end of his speech, he will have to make a big joke.
Is it hard to …… postpone the meeting?
Stop it, postponing the meeting because his assistant was hospitalized would definitely put him on the headlines again if word got out!
Not to mention, President Huo does have two assistants ah!
Huo Jun looked at the coffee cup on his desk for an instant, and after a long time, picked it up and took a sip.
An assistant who can accompany him to the board meeting and make speeches in his place must be secure and reliable. It goes without saying that Lin Fei has been following him for years, but can Ye Ling?
Huo Jun savors the sweetness and bitterness of the coffee and ponders.
He is picky about the taste and sweetness of his coffee, and he also needs to be able to drink coffee that is just the right temperature for his mouth as soon as he walks in the door. This kind of purely sensory thing is not well mastered by ordinary people except for Lin Fei, who has been following him for many years. He had expressed his infinite resentment to Lin Fei, “You’re gone, I can’t even have a mouthful of proper coffee”, but Lin Fei lost her smile and told him that from the second day of Ye Ling’s arrival, the coffee on his desk was prepared by Ye Ling.
Two weeks, countless cups every day, and he never even noticed.
Ye Ling’s steadiness was evident.
As for whether it is reliable or not …… before Ye Ling came to the company, all the information from his childhood to his adulthood had already preceded him to Huo Zhun’s desk, Huo Zhun even knew that he had been bitten by a dog as a child and had received a rabies vaccine.
Thinking of this, Huo Jun dialed the intercom.
A minute later, Ye Ling stood in front of him.
“Mr. Huo, you’re looking for me?”
Huo Jun sits behind his wide desk, sizing up the young man in front of him with cautious eyes.
“Lin Fei is hospitalized, and I need you to accompany me to the directors’ meeting in the afternoon.” He said.
Ye Ling was slightly stunned, although this arrangement made sense, he was still a bit surprised.
“This is all the information needed for the meeting in the afternoon, you go back now to read through all of it and familiarize yourself with it.” Huo Zhun handed over a folder, “Any questions?”
Ye Ling probed and took it – it was a folder containing nearly sixty pages of A4 paper, with dense charts and screaming specialized vocabulary printed on each sheet, to familiarize all of these in just two to three hours was difficult to imagine for Ye Ling who had just come to the company for two weeks.
Instead, he only hesitated for a moment before saying, “No problem.”
“The directors’ meeting is held once every six months, the importance of which you know, so this afternoon is only for success.” Despite making such a decision, Huo Zhun still can’t really trust Ye Ling, “If you poke a hole this afternoon, then don’t take a penny of this month’s salary.”
Ye Ling hugged the folder tightly and pursed her lips.
“Of course, if you perform well ……,” Huo Jun mused.
Then this month’s salary will be doubled? Ye Ling thought with anticipation.
“…… Then I will consider your transfer in advance.”
…… knew you weren’t that generous.
Ye Ling silently rolled her eyes in her heart and said, “I understand Mr. Huo, is there anything else?”
“No more.” Huo Zhun said, “You go out.”
Ye Ling bowed slightly and walked towards the door. The moment he pulled the door open, the man behind him who seemed to never speak softly to anyone suddenly called out to him.
“Don’t be nervous, even if you want to make things difficult, it will be at me, no one will cross you.”
Ye Ling turned back and smiled gently, “I know.”
