Chapter 271 Huo Yanting’s Fury
He could only cautiously observe President Leng’s expression while truthfully answering, "I just told her that her appearance fully meets our hiring standards, and she believed it.""Remember, you are never to mention my name in the future. Just let her believe that her success in the interview was solely due to her beauty." Leng Weichen casually placed her contract into his drawer and instructed.
Manager Wang was already sweating nervously and repeatedly agreed, "President Leng, don’t worry, I know how to explain it."
"You may leave!" Leng Weichen gestured him away.
Manager Wang respectfully exited his office, while Leng Weichen’s deep and unreadable gaze fell upon his computer screen.
At this moment, his screen displayed a webpage—an article reporting on the upcoming engagement between Huo Yanting and Chu Tingting.
Leng Weichen’s long and defined fingers lightly grazed his firm and handsome chin, as his thin lips curved faintly upward.
"Getting engaged? I suppose there won’t be any more entanglements after this." He muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, in his office, Huo Yanting furiously smashed his iPad to the ground, his strikingly handsome face filled with rage. "Who reported this? Without my permission, they dared to expose this article privately? Absolutely outrageous!"
Qi Han stood nearby, cold sweat breaking out on his back as he glanced at the poor, hapless iPad. Sigh!
"Young Master, should I investigate this? Find out exactly where this report originated and uncover who orchestrated it..." Qi Han whispered cautiously as he noticed the storm of anger stirring within his young master.
Huo Yanting’s cold eyes narrowed, his tall figure resting uneasily on the sofa. Crossing his long legs, his fingers drummed heavily on the armrest, as if absorbed in thought.
"No need. I already have an idea of who is behind the report." Earlier, he had lost his composure, failing to grasp the full picture of the situation.
Now, as he calmed down, the answer seemed clearer to him.
"I’m going to find my grandfather. Push the meeting back by ten minutes!" Huo Yanting decided it was necessary to bring the matter up with his grandfather. After all, regarding the engagement, he had not yet given his consent.
This sudden exposure of the event—whether it would turn out to be a blessing or a laughingstock—was still unclear.
Huo Yanting strode heavily to the chairman’s office, knocked on the door, and entered after being granted permission.
"Yanting, you’re right on time, there’s something I need to ask you." Old Sir Huo gestured for him to come closer as soon as he saw him walk in.
Huo Yanting furrowed his brows deeply, preparing himself for battle.
"Let me ask you, are you aware that the matter of your engagement to Chu Tingting has been exposed online?" Old Sir Huo’s tone was stern, his brows knitted together. It was clear that even he didn’t seem to approve of such behavior.
Huo Yanting had intended to inquire about the situation himself, but to his surprise, his grandfather brought it up first, leaving him momentarily stunned.
"Yes, but wasn’t it you who arranged for it to be exposed?" Huo Yanting sneered with a trace of cynicism.
Old Sir Huo immediately responded firmly, "It wasn’t me. I thought it was something you had done yourself."
"How could I possibly do something so ridiculous? Grandfather, you know I haven’t agreed to this. Now someone has exposed this matter online, clearly aiming to stir things up. I don’t know their motives, but this is seriously impacting my personal life. I will definitely find out and deal with it harshly." Huo Yanting gritted his teeth and spoke with anger.
