Afternoon, Shi Ran was busy at the company for a while and took the opportunity to call Huo Xiaohua.
Doo doo doo~~~
The phone rang three times, and Huo Xiaohua had already answered, "Miss Shi?"
"Hehe, it's me, President Huo."
Shi Ran chuckled and greeted him, getting straight to the point, "I'm calling to ask when you'll have time for me to bring you to my company for a visit."
She had planned to bring Huo Xiaohua to the company for a visit in the afternoon, but an unexpected visitor had disrupted the plan.
"How about the day after tomorrow?"
After speaking, Huo Xiaohua explained, "The company has some matters to deal with these two days and can't spare the time."
"Okay, everything is according to your schedule, President Huo."
"Alright, it's settled then."
"Okay, okay. President Huo, you must be busy." Shi Ran said politely and hung up.
Standing in the office, she paced back and forth, holding her phone, contemplating…
Huo Xiaohua had agreed to visit the company, but he might not cooperate with the company. To be safe, she still needed to contact Ms. Gan Yulu, the general manager of Hong Fei Group.
After much thought, Shi Ran finally picked up her phone and called Yuan Wei.
Before she could even dial the number, Tang Si's call came in.
Seeing Tang Si's number flashing on the screen, a hint of annoyance colored Shi Ran's fair cheeks, and she answered the call.
"Young Master Tang?"
An unfamiliar address, with a hint of deliberate distance.
On the other end of the line, Tang Si felt a little displeased hearing her address him like that, "What, doesn't this young master have a name?"
"You are the young master of the Tang family, I wouldn't dare to call you by your first name."
Shi Ran said sarcastically, "If you have something to say, just say it. I'm very busy."
She still needed to handle company matters. Du Rui and Li Fan had given her limited time, and she had to seize every moment.
"Are you at the company? I'm going to your company for a visit now."
Tang Si cut to the chase and asked directly.
"I... I'm not."
Shi Ran refused without hesitation.
Under any circumstances, she didn't need Tang Si to invest in her company.
Shi Ran was worried that Tang Si would discover that Meng Jingwei was the company's behind-the-scenes boss, and even more afraid of owing Tang Si a favor because of it.
If Zhao Wuyan found out, she didn't know how Zhao Wuyan would come to the company to humiliate her.
What happened at the entrance of Chu Jian Wedding last time was a nightmare for Shi Ran, and she still had lingering fear.
"Alright, contact me when you get back to the company."
Tang Si didn't ask further and hung up the phone.
Shi Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put down her phone, and planned to contact Yuan Wei later to inquire about Gan Yulu's situation.
Meanwhile, in the Hidden Clan.
After a night of intimacy with Qing Muye, Meng Jingwei was in a good mood.
The next day, He Xiaomingjin came to find her to go down for breakfast, and she obediently went downstairs.
"Sister Weiwei, let me tell you, we found a very good cook today. From now on, our breakfast will be prepared by him."
As Meng Jingwei and He Xiaomingjin went downstairs, he said with a smile.
"A cook from the Hidden Clan?"
Although the local cuisine of the Hidden Clan was quite similar to domestic dishes, there were still differences.
Local people particularly liked spicy food and had hearty appetites. Especially things like snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and crickets were often served on the table.
When Meng Jingwei saw those dishes, she felt like throwing up.
She considered herself not to be squeamish, but those dishes truly made her shiver.
"No. It's a chef they brought from Country C these few days, but he seems to be from your Lan City."
