Nodding, the cameraman immediately faced the camera back.
After the interview, Lu Ning brought Lu Jingzhi back to the hotel.
It was already dark when they returned.
They had walked a lot today. Lu Ning felt that Lu Jingzhi might be tired, so she had him rest for two hours first; she would take him out for dinner once he had a break.
However, she was also a little tired, and both of them fell asleep on the hotel bed.
“Young Master.”
When Huo Jinyan returned to the capital, he was bogged down by a number of issues. He only caught a breather when it was night-time, and then he went to the company.
As soon as he entered the company, the people around him shot up straight. A few people accompanied Huo Jinyan, and they went into the elevator.
When the receptionist saw the elevator doors close, she instantly reached for the phone to hurriedly make a call.
“The Young Master has returned!”
After the call, the company immediately plunged into chaos. Everyone scoured the premises in a frenzy to see if there were any violations.
Huo Jinyan had yet to officially take over the head office, even though he was the one handling everything. All that was left was for the Old Master to officially hand the position over to him.
He was the only heir to the Huo Corporation—this was indisputable. So, regardless of when the position was handed to him, it was already his.
Huo Jinyan followed the person-in-charge beside him to the tenth and fifteenth floors to deal with unresolved matters, then headed back to the top floor with Chu Ting.
Chu Ting walked in first and turned on the lights.
Huo Jinyan strode in; as he walked behind the desk, he said, “Let them in.”
“Understood.”
Chu Ting walked out and called the office line to get them.
Reclining in his chair, Huo Jinyan closed his eyes to get some rest.
Countless people had been talking in his ear since this morning, almost without pause. Only now, did he have a moment of silence.
However, this silence did not last for more than five minutes; the door was pushed open again.
“President Huo, Manager Zuo is here.”
Huo Jinyan opened his jet-black eyes and looked towards Chu Ting. “Let him in.”
Chu Ting nodded and turned to call Manager Zuo in.
When Manager Zuo came in and spotted Huo Jinyan, he pushed his black-framed glasses up anxiously. Then, he paced to his desk.
The spacious president’s office was very quiet, and Manager Zuo’s nervous breathing could be heard clearly.
“Young Master.”
Huo Jinyan looked up at him. “Speak.”
Manager Zuo nodded.
“Second Master recently moved a large amount of funds from the company, saying that he’s investing in a new project. However, the company’s new project doesn’t need more investments right now, and the balances don’t tally…”
Huo Jinyan tapped his fingers on the table and looked at him. His dark eyes did not reflect much emotion, but only cool indifference.
Apprehensive, Manager Zuo averted his eyes.
Seeing that he had gone silent, Huo Jinyan spoke, “Continue.”
At his command, Manager Zuo hurriedly added, “Someone also went to Old Master to tell him, but later on, Second Master went to look for Old Master of his own accord. After that, Old Master never asked about this anymore; however, Second Master didn’t stop using the company funds, and we didn’t dare to stop him…”
Manager Zuo paused to study Huo Jinyan’s expression before he dared to continue. “And… and we realized that Second Master has been very close to the
Cheng Corporation recently.”
The Cheng Corporation and the Huo family were arch-enemies.
They were also very concerned; the company would not collapse because of the funds that the Second Master had used, but if no one acknowledged this matter, they would all suffer for it. It was a sum of money that they would not be able to earn in a few lifetimes.
The Old Master had turned a blind eye to this matter, but someone had to step in. Hence, they could only find someone to call Huo Jinyan..
