Chapter 116 Make her wait
"Just leave it there, I'll take care of it myself. Thank you for your hard work."
"No trouble at all, Second Young Madam. We'll head back now. If you need anything, feel free to call me. The old lady has arranged for ten people to stay and act as your bodyguards, just as I told you before."
"The villa is equipped with the most advanced security system, and the place is quiet, so you can stay here with peace of mind. If you want to go out, just tell any of the bodyguards. There are multiple cars in the villa's garage, so you can choose whichever you like when you go out."
"The housekeeper that the old lady arranged will arrive around 10 o'clock. She will call you then. You need to let her in before the bodyguards will let you through."
The person speaking was the captain of a security team that the old lady had formed many years ago.
It was at this moment that Jiang Qin truly realized how little she knew about the Huo family. After all, she had previously thought that she didn't know the rest of the Huo family, but she knew the old lady Huo quite well.
But now it seems that we didn't know enough about her—besides her gentle side, the old lady also had a serious and strict side, who was good at management and using people.
Otherwise, the rows of well-trained young men in front of her, with such excellent physiques that many would believe they were retired military personnel, wouldn't be members of the old lady's security team.
The captain of the security team was a little confused when he didn't get a reply, but he really couldn't be happy looking at Jiang Qin's face.
The young man lowered his voice, "Second Young Madam? Are we leaving?"
"Ah, okay." Jiang Qin was brought back to her senses and felt a little embarrassed.
The other person didn't seem to think anything of it; getting distracted is normal.
He quickly packed up and left with his men.
The old lady had given Jiang Qin information about the ten people who remained, and Jiang Qin already remembered their faces, so she didn't feel unfamiliar when she saw them again.
Jiang Qin showed a photo of the housekeeper to a bodyguard and instructed him to open the door for her when he arrived.
The bodyguard agreed, and Jiang Qin went upstairs to pack her things, preparing to change her clothes and catch up on some sleep.
This morning, because she was thinking about moving out, she got up early to pack. When she woke up, Huo Sili was still asleep.
And the consequences were obvious... Jiang Qin tidied herself up and couldn't resist fishing.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Qin washed her hands, found some pajamas, and went into the changing room to catch up on some sleep.
The old lady cleans each house regularly, so they are very clean.
But perhaps because she was not used to sleeping in the same bed, Jiang Qin lay down and adjusted her sleeping position several times, but still felt uncomfortable.
However, I was so sleepy that I eventually passed out from exhaustion.
Meanwhile, at the Huo Group headquarters, in the president's office, He Xu knocked on the door several times but no one answered.
Because the matter was so urgent, I pushed open the door and came in, only to see Huo Sili fishing in front of his computer in the inner room of the president's office.
His eyes widened in surprise, but before he could ask anything, he saw Horstley looking at him with a frown.
"What's wrong?" The man's pleasant voice carried an obvious hint of impatience.
He Xu naturally understood and, without delay, quickly explained, then added more details.
"There's one more thing."
"Speak," Huo Sili said as he took the documents from He Xu, his patience clearly dwindling.
He Xu: "Miss Li is here to see you again. She's at the front desk on the first floor. Would you like to see her or..."
Horst frowned and remained silent for a long while.
Just when He Xu thought he was about to hear a two-word answer, Huo Sili's three words were very faint.
"Make her wait."
He Xu opened his mouth, then closed it again, and changed his words to, "Yes."
As I passed by the empty desks and chairs in the outer room, I couldn't help but sigh.
No wonder, no wonder.
……
Meanwhile, in the villa, Jiang Qin, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by the ringing of the phone.
I woke up, picked up my phone, and saw an unfamiliar number; it was a landline.
Anti-fraud awareness has surged; people assume it's a scam and hang up without a second thought.
Suddenly, I saw a string of small words displayed below. My eyes widened a little, I paused for a moment, and then swiped to answer the call.
He then sat up and politely asked, "Hello?"
