Chapter 21

In fact, Jiang Jingzhu was originally planning to buy some drinks for the people in the conference room, but she was afraid of disturbing their meeting. In the end, she decided to give up, in order to avoid making things worse.

A game had just ended, so Jiang Jingzhu quit the game, picked up her milk tea, put a straw in it, took out a bag of snacks, and started reading the news while eating.

This piece of news was pushed as a hot search, saying that a popular star showed up at the airport and the road was blocked by fans who came to pick him up, so all the airport security guards had to be dispatched to maintain order.

After checking the time and place, it was exactly the same flight as hers, but she took the VIP channel at the time and was not aware of this.

In fact, she didn’t always use the VIP channel when she flew first class before, until there were two times when she happened to be on the same flight with big stars, and then it was the situation reported now. Since then, whenever she took a plane, she would definitely go through the VIP channel, because she didn’t want to be squeezed with a bunch of people.

However, when Jiang Jingzhu clicked on the introduction of the top star, her eyes widened immediately. Isn’t this the stunning handsome guy in the idol drama she saw at lunch? What surprised her was not his appearance, but his character introduction.

The man’s name is Su Heng, and he is the heir to the wealthy Su family. He is truly one of those rich young masters who has to go home and inherit the family fortune if he can’t make it in the entertainment industry.

He is also the second male lead in the book played by Jiang Jingzhu, the one who clears all obstacles for the heroine after she enters the entertainment industry.

His family background is similar to that of the Chen family. The only good thing is that Su Heng’s mother is the eldest daughter of the top wealthy Zhao family, and the current head of the Zhao family is his cousin. The reason why the male protagonist was able to squeeze into the four top wealthy families in Beijing was thanks to the help of Huo Xiao in the later period.

Speaking of this, we have to talk about the four top old-established wealthy families in Beijing.

They are the Huo family, the Si family, the Zhao family, and the Li family.

Among the four families, the Huo family is the first, the Li family is the last, and the Si family and the Zhao family are not much different. These top four families are not only rich, but also have existed for a long time, which can be regarded as starting from the Republic of China. They have a long history and cannot be investigated. Their wealth is even more impossible to estimate.

Originally, after Huo’s parents passed away one after another, everyone thought that there was only an old lady and a half-grown boy left in the Huo family, with no one to support them. However, the Huo family’s heir, who had always been low-key, took on everything. Not only did he not let the Huo family decline, but he also distanced himself from the four families that were originally running neck and neck, and made the family the leader.

Huo Xiao himself has become the richest man in the country, and because of these, Huo Xiao has always been a legend in the business world.

But these have nothing to do with her. Everything she has now revolves around Huo Xiao. She will first save her own life. As for the male or female protagonist or the male supporting role, it has nothing to do with her. She doesn’t care about their love, hate, and grudges.

After turning off the phone, Jiang Jingzhu stood up and walked around the office. He felt a little uncomfortable after sitting for too long.

Although the office is big, it can be walked around twice. It’s not that she has never thought about going out for a walk, but before coming here, she saw that everyone outside seemed to be very busy, so she decided not to go out to show her presence.

I just finished drinking milk tea and now I want to go to the bathroom. Special Assistant Qin said that there is a separate bathroom in Huo Xiao’s lounge.

When Jiang Jingzhu opened the door of the lounge, she saw a lounge decorated in the same style as her office. She really wondered if his bedroom was also decorated like that.

After finding the bathroom, Jiang Jingzhu took care of her physiological needs and washed her hands. When she came out, she caught sight of the 1.8-meter-long bed. After hesitating for a moment, she walked forward, took off her shoes, and lay down on the bed.

It was really too tiring today. She had to get up early to exercise and catch a flight to come here. She hardly stopped. It was fine when she was playing games outside, but now that she saw the bed, she couldn’t resist her sleepiness anymore. Anyway, she didn’t know how long it would take for Huo Xiao to get off work, so she would sleep for a while, otherwise how would she have the energy to deal with Huo Xiao at night.

Lying on the big black bed, with Huo Xiao’s pillow as her head, and covered with Huo Xiao’s quilt, her nose was filled with a faint, cold fragrance. This was the smell of Huo Xiao. She smelled it when he hugged her today. It was a very pleasant smell.

It felt as if Huo Xiao was right beside her. Thinking of this, Jiang Jingzhu fell asleep quickly.

It was already past five in the afternoon when the meeting ended. When Huo Xiao returned to the office, he glanced at the sofa, but did not see Jiang Jingzhu. On the coffee table in front of the sofa were still milk tea with a straw and unpacked snacks, but he did not know where she had gone.

He frowned slightly and was about to go out to ask the people in the secretariat, but suddenly he seemed to remember something and looked in the direction of the lounge.

Without hesitation, he walked towards the lounge, put his finger on the door handle and turned it lightly, and the door opened, not locked.

When he walked into the lounge, Huo Xiao saw a bulge in the middle of his big black bed.

Jiang Jingzhu had half of her body wrapped in the quilt, with her upper body exposed. Perhaps because she moved around while sleeping, two buttons of her shirt, which were properly buttoned, came undone, revealing the woman’s snow-white and full cleavage.

Coupled with her rosy little face as she was sleeping, there was an indescribable temptation.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Huo Xiao’s Adam’s apple rolled, and there was an unknown emotion in his deep eyes, which then turned away slightly after a moment.

Looking at the woman who was sleeping soundly, he did not wake her up. He turned and left the lounge, closed the door, and went to the desk to process the files.

He was originally planning to take her out for dinner, but since she was asleep, he decided to wait until she woke up so that he could deal with the files on hand first.

Jiang Jingzhu was awakened by the electronic sound of the system.

Jiang Jingzhu stood up and hugged the quilt, still confused as if she had just woken up. “System, what did you just say?”

“Host, congratulations on increasing Huo Xiao’s favorability by 2%. The current heartbeat value is 52%. Please keep up the good work, host!”

Jiang Jingzhu was still a little confused. She just took a nap, so why did her heart rate increase by 2% for no apparent reason? She shook her head, still not understanding. Since it increased, it must be a good thing. She wouldn’t complain about having too much heart rate.

She grabbed the phone beside the bed and checked the time. It was almost six o’clock, so she quickly got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

As soon as she looked in the mirror, she saw that two buttons of her shirt were undone. Fortunately, no one except Huo Xiao would come in here, otherwise she would be exposed if someone saw her.

There were all kinds of disposable items under the washbasin, and Jiang Jingzhu just took them apart and used them.

After she had tidied up and came out, she made the bed before opening the door and going out. As soon as she came out, she saw that the man who was in the meeting had returned.
