Lu Zhaoyang felt guilty and accepted his lecture sincerely. Last night was her fault.
She nodded and said weakly, "It won't happen again."
He seemed to be pacified by her response. Her stomach rumbled again, and she looked at him in embarrassment. "I'm hunger…"
Huo Yunting narrowed his eyes at her in annoyance, but let her off.
…
Lu Zhaoyang finally made it to the office. She had only sat down at her desk when Lin Yazhi came to her and switched the glass of her on her desk with a new one.
"No one does favors for no reason. What is it?" Lu Zhaoyang asked with a raised brow.
"Sister Zhaoyang, I really didn't mean to leave early last night. I heard from what happened from my brother, that you got drunk…"
Fortunately, the president had drove her home.
If not, someone else might have taken advantage of her.
"You left early?"
Lu Zhaoyang looked at the glass of water on her desk. She had accepted the stupid challenge because she thought Lin Yazhi was there, but the young lady had actually left early.
Lin Yazhi scratched her head in embarrassment. "Hehe, I didn't mean to. I'll never leave you alone again, I promise!"
Lu Zhaoyang massaged her temples to ease the dizziness she was still feeling. "There won't be a next time. Go back to work, I'm fine."
"Don't be like that, Sister Zhaoyang! We're still friends, right? I had my reasons!"
She had left home without her parents' approval, so she had to go back home in secret.
"Yes, now go to work!"
Lu Zhaoyang replied weakly. She hung her head, looking very tired.
Lin Yazhi decided not to disturb her any longer and returned to her desk.
Mo Shan did not visit the office that day. Everything looked peaceful, but a storm was brewing in the distance.
That night, Huo Yunting had organized a banquet to celebrate the pany's success in winning the tender for the Qingshan project.
Aside from the planning department staff, the rest were all people who had contributed to the tender doc.unts, including Huang Dong.
Huo Yunting sat in the middle, listening to the pliments offered to him while occasionally sipping his drink. He behaved like the cynical playboy that was his usual image.
However, sitting next to him, Lu Zhaoyang sensed that he was not as joyful as he appeared to be.
Suddenly, he whispered into her ear, "Should I order some wine for you to try?"
What the?!
Did he think that the night she got drunk was not embarrassing enough already?
"No thank you."
Huo Yunting smiled and did not pursue it further. Instead, he continued whispering beside her ear, "Who do you think is the most suspicious?"
Lu Zhaoyang looked at everyone sitting around the large, round table. The planning department was the pany's most important department. The staff members there were all personally trained and led by Huo Yunting. Their loyalty to Huo Yunting was absolute.
Huo Li had also investigated their background. There were no particular circ.u.mstances in their lives that would threaten this loyalty.
Those further down the corporate ladder could not possibly do it. The most suspicious people were the ones who joined the tender process. Huang Dong was the only that she could think of who had done something like this.
She and Huo Yunting never said this out loud, but they were thinking of the same thing.
"I heard that Huang Dong is planning to invest in a pany. I'd like to give you a sum of money to help you out."
Lu Zhaoyang looked at him in confusion. What is he thinking ?
Huang Dong panicked at the attention he was getting. Everyone at the table were now looking at him.
