Chapter 30: Huo Shaoting's Decision

it's still a blow to any man.Wen Man is 30 years old, the perfect age for a woman!If she is disappointed in him and refuses to get back together, then all his efforts these past few days have been for...Wen Man was gently touched.

Her slender fingers gently traced the surface of her phone, hesitating for a while before sending a WeChat message half an hour later.

I'm sorry, Mr. Ho, I fell asleep.

On that side, Huo Shaoting held a glass of wine in his hand. He smiled faintly after seeing Wen Man's message.

Teacher Wen's reserve is a little bit endearing.

He did not speak again, but merely sipped slowly from his glass of red wine.

Over the next few days, Huo Shaoting didn't appear again, but he would occasionally send Wen Man a WeChat message. Sometimes it was a photo or just a word or two. His words were languid yet carried the unique flavor of a mature man.

Wen Man will not reply every time.

But their unspoken attraction, known only to them.

That morning, Wen Man received a call from Huo Shaoting on her way to work.

She hesitated before picking up. "Mr. Huo"

Ho Shaoting sat in the car, with a file on his lap. It was none other than the Wen Beryan case files.

Ho Shaoting remembered when he had asked Lawyer Jiang Ming last night, the lawyer gave him a meaningful smile and said, "Shaoting, why did you change your mind Because of Teacher Wen I think Teacher Wen is very good. Jiang Rui really likes her..."

At that time, Huo Shaoting smiled faintly and asked Jiang Ming not to tell Wen Man first.

He said he needed to think about it some more.

At this moment, Huo Shaoting gently flipped through the files and said to Wen Man over there: "I'm going on a business trip for a week! When I come back... let's meet. I have something to tell you."

Wen Man couldn't guess, but she knew in her heart that getting along well with Huo Shaoting wouldn't hurt.

She softly said yes.

Huo Shaoting's heart suddenly softened. He lowered his voice and murmured like a lover: "How come you're so obedient and soft Do you know that this way you'll be bullied by men"

Wen Man's face flushed red, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

He Shaoting smiled and let her off the hook.

He hung up the phone and spent a long time poring over the documents... This decision wasn't simply a business transaction; there was also pity for Wen Man mixed in. He figured it was compensation of sorts for her.

***

Over there, Wenman put down her phone, guessing what Huo Shaoting would tell her in a week.

She was daydreaming and almost missed her stop.

She rushed to the music center, and when she clocked in, her colleagues' eyes looked at her differently.

Wen Man was clueless. Finally, a colleague who got along well with her whispered to her: "Wen Man, the supervisor knows about your part-time job outside. He'll probably find you later for a chat! ... I heard it was Ding Cheng who ratted you out. You and she both joined our company at the same time. You teach well, and all the quality students go to learn from you. She's been unhappy for a long time, and this time she finally caught an opportunity."

Wen Man was taken aback.

My colleague murmured again, something about how she's going through a difficult time and everyone understands.

At this time, Li General Manager's assistant came over and politely invited Wen Man to go.

Wen Man followed her to the second-floor director's office. The assistant knocked on the door: "Director Li, Teacher Wen is here."

"Come in." a female voice said.

Wen Man found the door and went in.

Li, the general manager, is a woman in her early forties who is sharp and capable. At this moment, she was sitting behind her desk, looking down at the files. When Wen Man came in, she motioned for her to sit down.

Wen Man wanted to explain, but Director Li made a gesture to interrupt her. "It's true that Ding Cheng told me in private, but I turned a blind eye because your family is having difficulties! But Wen Man, since yesterday, more and more parents have learned about you working part-time outside, and there are strong demands to replace you. I received dozens of calls today! ... As you know, the children who study music at our music center come from wealthy families. Even if I were Mr. Wang, I couldn't afford to offend them."

She knew what she meant at this point.

She didn't want to make things difficult for her supervisor, who had always been kind to her. She couldn't bear to face him with a thick skin and refuse to leave. Wen Man gently took off her work badge and placed it on the table, saying softly, "Thank you for taking care of me these past few years." we won't see each other forever, right"Mingzhu knew his thoughts.He wanted to nibble at her, bit by bit, softening her heart.But if the heart is dead, how can one liveShe wrenched her hand free: "Do...
