The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 116: Distinguishing the Big and Little Kings

Everyone was in doubt and looked back and forth between Gu Qingyin and Huo Yunjing. Was it the person who was special, or the ghost?
Gu Qingyin pretended to be unaware and felt the warmth in her dantian, which was quite comfortable. She patted her belly and turned to look at the elders of Xuanxie with a smile, "The recognition of the master is over, can we leave now?"

Several elders were somewhat unwilling, but it was useless to be unwilling, because it was their own fault for not being as skilled as others.

"Let's go." Dongfang Ran turned around and walked out first. In just over an hour, she had suffered too many blows. Now she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and just wanted to go back quickly.

After leaving the warehouse, Gu Qingyin suddenly asked, "Is Lin Wu imprisoned here? Did he confess?"

"Lin Wu?" Elder Zhang looked at her in confusion. "How do you know him?"

Dongfang Ran paused and took the initiative to explain: "She and Taoist Liu caught the man together."

Elder Zhang suddenly realized, then shook his head and sighed, "Lin Wu is very stubborn and didn't say anything."

"Can I go see him?" Gu Qingyin asked.

Elder Zhang hesitated, "This is against the rules."

Gu Qingyin sighed, but didn't force it. "Alright, I hope there will be good news in the near future. I have met the man behind Lin Wu once, and to be honest, everyone here may not be that man's opponent. If we don't catch him as soon as possible, there will be endless trouble in the future."

This was too straightforward, and the faces of the elders all looked unhappy after hearing it, but they also knew that Gu Qingyin was reminding them kindly, so they could only pinch their noses and thank him.

After returning from Xuanxie, Gu Qingyin rested well for two days, and Liu Ergou also went back because of something on the mountain.

It's a new day again. Gu Qingyin plans to go to the company to supervise Huo Xingye's meals. He's so old, but he can't even keep the habit of eating on time. He even worked while sick the past two days, which is really worrying.

Gu Qingyin didn't say hello to Huo Xingye before she left. She arrived downstairs at lunchtime, intending to take the special elevator for high-rise buildings and catch Huo Xingye off guard.

But unexpectedly, she was stopped as soon as she entered the company. Two girls at the front desk said with shining eyes that they were her fans and asked her if they could get an autograph.

Of course, Gu Qingyin signed autographs for the little fan with a cheerful face.

She thought it was over, but it was just the beginning.

As we went up, the elevator door opened and closed, and almost everyone who came in asked for an autograph.

Of course, some are real fans, while others just want to curry favor with their boss for the sake of his face.

Gu Qingyin's face was almost frozen from smiling, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she got out of the elevator.

The price of fame is too high!
Gu Qingyin shook her head and sighed, then went straight to Huo Xingye's office.

The people in the president's office nearby had already learned from the group that Gu Qingyin was coming, and they were itching to get an autograph as well, but Gu Qingyin must be tired after signing all the way here.

The people in the president's office thought, since they are close to the water, it won't be too late to ask for Gu Qingyin's autograph when she leaves!

Gu Qingyin knocked on the door, pushed it open a crack, and looked inside, just in time to meet Huo Xingye's cold gaze.

Huo Xingye didn't expect it to be her. He was stunned for a moment, then his brows softened instantly. He stood up and greeted her, "Mom, how did you find time to come here?"

Gu Qingyin walked in, ignored him, and smelled it first.

Huo Xingye's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he took the initiative to explain: "I was just about to go eat..."

"Master!" Xue Ning's anxious voice came from outside the door, "We have to go eat! If you go to the hospital because of stomachache again, I will never lie for you again. The mistress will kill me if she finds out!"

When the last word fell, Xue Ning just pushed the door open and bumped into Gu Qingyin, who seemed to be smiling. He paused, quickly picked up the phone and put it to his ear, then turned 180 degrees, "Hello? Mr. Wang, yes, yes, the previous contract..." Gu Qingyin snorted, "You are pretending to be good."

Xue Ning froze in place, not knowing whether to leave or not.

Gu Qingyin ignored him and turned to glare at Huo Xingye, "Didn't you say you had a cold a few days ago? How did it turn into a stomachache? Have you had a check-up? What's going on?"

Huo Xingye didn't dare to hide it anymore and said honestly: "Gastritis and a slight ulcer. I'm already taking medicine. It's not a serious problem."

"You're so young and you have stomach problems. This is definitely a typical domineering CEO." After Gu Qingyin finished criticizing Huo Xingye, she turned her attention to Xue Ning. "Assistant Xue is very loyal. Remember to double his bonus at the end of the year."

Xue Ning turned around reluctantly, and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, Madam, I promise there won't be a next time. I will report any situation of the master of the house truthfully in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Ning felt Huo Xingye's cold gaze falling on him, but he pretended not to see it.

At critical moments, it is important to distinguish between the big and small kings. In the past, the head of the family was the undisputed king, but after the mistress came back, the king had an extra Buddha on his head.

If he offends the king, he can still ask the Buddha to plead for him. But if he offends the Buddha, no one can save him.

Gu Qingyin snorted again, but her expression looked much better.

Xue Ning felt relieved when he saw this, and he sold out again in excitement, "The owner of the family has a business banquet tonight, and the organizer likes to drink a lot."

Not only Huo Xingye's eyes, but also his face looked a little cold.

Xue Ning couldn't help but shudder, lowered his eyes and bowed slightly to the two of them, "If there's nothing else, I'll go back to work first."

Xue Ning held his breath and tried to leave the office calmly. The moment the door closed, he let out a long breath. He survived!
Alas, it is so difficult for him to be caught between the mistress and the head of the family!

Shaking his head, Xue Ning returned to his workstation. As soon as he sat down, his cell phone dinged. He immediately got into work mode and opened the message to take a look.

Big Boss: Your bonus this month is zero.

Zero... Zero... Zero...

Xue Ning held the phone tightly, feeling heartbroken. Could he ask the mistress to make up for his zeroed bonus?

On the other side, Gu Qingyin stared at Huo Xingye with a fierce face as he went to the company cafeteria. His stomach disease had not yet healed, so he only ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles to nourish his stomach and fill his stomach.

Huo Xingye ate obediently the whole time and didn't dare to say a word - yes, when he first wanted to speak during the meal, his mother glared at him fiercely, which scared him.

Only after finishing the whole bowl of noodles did Huo Xingye wipe his mouth and say, "I won't drink at night."

"Really?" Gu Qingyin obviously didn't believe it.

Huo Xingye explained, "With Huo's status, there aren't many people who are qualified for me to drink with."

Gu Qingyin raised an eyebrow, "I'm curious, what is the business banquet for?"

"For me, it's a good opportunity to investigate new projects. For others, it can expand their network, attract investment, and find cooperation..." Huo Xingye paused and said, "Some people will bring their younger generations here for blind dates."

"Blind date?" Gu Qingyin suddenly became interested. "Dinner party, do you mind taking me along?"
