Huo Jincheng ultimately didn’t say anything and just left.
At the company, the employees could clearly feel their big boss’s mood, and it was really bad.
It wasn’t as bad for other departments, but Wei Yang was quite miserable.
"Who made the coffee today? Why does it taste so awful?"
The steps are the same every day.
"Who tidied up the desk? Things are not placed properly."
The arrangement is the same every day.
The boss seems to be in a really bad mood today!
Could it be that he had a fight with the boss lady?
Probably not, at most the boss lady upset him, but he can’t bear to be mad at her, so he’s taking it out on these innocent people.
"I’ll have them bring another cup of coffee. And I’ll tidy up the desk for you again." As an assistant, unconditional compliance is a must.
When the boss is in a bad mood, you just have to go along with him.
Otherwise, what are you going to say, that it’s the big boss’s own problem?
In that case, he might as well go home and eat by himself.
Huo Jincheng’s bad mood lasted until the end of the workday, but when he got home and faced Lu Xingzhi, it disappeared.
"You’re back!" Lu Xingzhi had just played the piano again, a new piece she composed especially for Huo Jincheng.
As soon as she saw Huo Jincheng return, she stopped.
She walked over to him, knowing that Huo Jincheng wasn’t in a great mood today, but she wanted to surprise him.
"Why don’t you take a break? Aren’t your hands sore?" Huo Jincheng held Lu Xingzhi’s hand, "Aren’t you tired?"
"Not at all! I’m doing something I love, how could I feel tired?" Lu Xingzhi naturally embraced his waist, her eyes bright as stars, "I also like you!"
"I like you too." Huo Jincheng secretly cursed himself for being unambitious, that a simple phrase from her could brighten his mood.
Not knowing about his birthday is understandable; it’s not that important.
Just after midnight, Huo Jincheng’s WeChat started pinging; quite a few people had already sent him messages, wishing him a happy birthday.
However, the one person he wanted to hear from the most was completely silent.
Normally, unless there’s something going on, his little darling wouldn’t call or text him.
In the group chat, Shi Huai was already calling out.
"Jin Chen, do you want to go out and celebrate your birthday today? We’ll throw a party for you!"
"No need, I already have plans." Even though Lu Xingzhi didn’t know it was his birthday, he still wanted to spend it with her.
"Oh! So you want to spend it alone with Little Zhi Liao!" Shi Huai had already figured it out, "What did Little Zhi Liao prepare for you?"
Mo Jinyan: "It’s just past midnight, even if Little Zhi Liao prepared a gift for Jin Chen, she wouldn’t present it yet."
Si Jinghan: "Jin Chen is waiting for the gift now!"
But that wasn’t the case; he didn’t even get a happy birthday.
Obviously, he wasn’t going to with them.
Putting down his phone, Huo Jincheng went to sleep.
After a nap, he received quite a few more birthday wishes.
In the afternoon, Lu Xingzhi finally called Huo Jincheng, saying it was raining heavily outside, and she didn’t want to go out but would rather dine at home.
Though disappointed, Huo Jincheng agreed. Official source is novel fire.net
By the time he got off work, it was quite cold this season, adding to the rain; it was already dark when he arrived home.
However, the entire villa was pitch black, and just as he frowned and stepped inside, the lights turned on.
