Chapter 221 Asking Huo Yan for help
As night falls, the city lights sparkle like bright stars, and the criss-crossing streets are bustling with traffic.
Qiao Qin dragged her heavy and tired body and slowly walked into the house. Her brows were tightly furrowed and her eyes were dull, revealing an anxiety that was difficult to conceal.
The repressed emotions quietly spread in the air like an invisible haze.
at the same time.
Huo Yan was sitting elegantly in the living room, his posture straight and relaxed, like a beautiful painting, flipping through a financial magazine in his hands. When he heard the familiar footsteps of Qiao Qin approaching from afar, he slowly raised his head.
But saw——
Qiao Qin's brows were furrowed, and her eyes revealed deep worry, like a thick dark cloud, heavily covering her eyes.
Huo Yan keenly noticed the abnormality, his eyes instantly became as sharp as a hawk, and he gently put down the magazine in his hand. The magazine fell on the coffee table with a slight and crisp sound.
He stood up gracefully, his movements smooth and calm, and walked slowly to Qiao Qin with steady steps. He exuded a warm and reassuring aura, like a fire in winter.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Huo Yan asked in a deep voice. His magnetic voice was like a gentle spring breeze, slowly brushing past Qiao Qin's ears, carrying endless concern and tenderness.
He frowned slightly, his eyes full of worry, and reached out to gently push a strand of hair from Qiao Qin's forehead behind her ear.
Qiao Qin sighed deeply, and her sigh was full of helplessness and fatigue.
She slowly sat down on the sofa, her body sinking slightly into the soft sofa, looking at Huo Yan with eyes full of helplessness and confusion.
"Yan, there's a traitor in my studio. Many big clients have been snatched away by a foreign company called Xingchen Design, but I... I don't know how to find this traitor." Qiao Qin's tone was a little low, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice. She lowered her head slightly, twisted her hands together, and her face was full of helplessness.
To be fair, she really didn't want to doubt anyone in the studio because they were all partners who had been with her since the beginning of her business.
After learning the cause and effect of the matter, Huo Yan frowned slightly and fell into contemplation for a moment, but soon he showed a confident smile.
"Have you forgotten what your husband does? I manage the entire Huo Group, a large company with tens of thousands of employees. Finding a traitor is easy." Huo Yan's lips curled slightly, his eyes full of certainty. His deep eyes seemed to contain endless wisdom and power, which made people involuntarily attracted to him and a strong sense of conviction surged in their hearts.
After hearing his words, Qiao Qin's originally dim eyes instantly brightened up, like the bright stars suddenly appearing in the night sky. The light of hope rekindled in her eyes, hot and bright.
She hurriedly reached out and grabbed Huo Yan's arm tightly, her movements full of eagerness and anticipation. Her fingers tightened slightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Yan, please help me, I really don't know what to do." Qiao Qin raised her face slightly and stared at Huo Yan.
Her eyes were full of expectation and pleading, her clear eyes were like two clear springs, reflecting Huo Yan's figure. Her voice was full of expectation and pleading, and her slightly trembling tone revealed her inner anxiety.
Huo Yan looked at Qiao Qin's anxious look, a trace of pity welled up in his heart, and he couldn't help but tease her.
"I can help you, but I want to get paid."
Qiao Qin was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth and was about to ask about the reward, but the moment she looked up, she met the flash of teasing in Huo Yan's deep eyes.
Then he pointed his finger at his lips.
Qiao Qin understood instantly.
Her cheeks instantly flushed with a faint blush, like peach blossoms blooming in spring, delicate and beautiful. She glanced at Huo Yan in a reproachful manner, with shyness and uneasiness flashing in her eyes, which made people's hearts flutter.
Then, Qiao Qin stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Huo Yan on the lips.
At that moment, her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, beating violently in her chest like a drum. The blush on her face became more obvious, like a ripe apple, emitting an attractive luster that made people want to take a bite.
Huo Yan's eyes deepened slightly, and when she wanted to step back, he grabbed the back of her head and deepened the kiss.
The temperature in the living room continued to rise, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air. The air seemed to be frozen, leaving only the heartbeats and breathing sounds of the two people.
It was unknown how long it took before Huo Yan let go of her hand.
Qiao Qin's eyes were a little blurry, her cheeks were flushed, and her lips were slightly swollen. She was breathing lightly, with a hint of shyness and panic in her eyes.
Qiao Qin lowered her head, not daring to look into Huo Yan's eyes. Her heart was still beating like thunder. Her fingers were gently twisting the corner of her clothes, as if trying to hide her nervousness.
Huo Yan smiled with satisfaction. He leaned close to Qiao Qin's ear and whispered, "You do this... and then this..." Qiao Qin listened to Huo Yan's plan and her heart gradually calmed down.
She tried to concentrate and think about her next move, but the kiss just now was like a brand, deeply engraved in her heart, making her think of it from time to time, with a sweet warmth welling up in her heart.
The next morning, the sunlight was like a golden thread, gently shining into the room through the gaps in the curtains.
Qiao Qin got up early, dressed carefully, stood in front of the mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and secretly cheered herself up.
The traitor must be found today to alleviate the crisis in the studio!
The early morning sun shines through the thin clouds and shines on every corner of the city. Pedestrians are hurrying on the streets, vehicles are flowing continuously, and the whole city is full of vitality.
However, in Qiao Qin's design studio, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Everyone's faces were filled with anxiety. They whispered to each other and talked in low voices.
The air in the studio was filled with a heavy and oppressive atmosphere, as if a fierce storm was about to come, making it hard to breathe. The oppressive atmosphere was like a thick dark cloud, hanging heavily on everyone's heart.
The clock on the wall ticked slowly, and the crisp sound was particularly clear in the silent studio, and each tick was like a heavy hammer hitting the employees' hearts.
Some people sit blankly at their desks, staring at the computer screen with empty eyes, full of confusion and helplessness; others stand quietly by the window, looking at the scenery outside, their hearts full of worry.
"Oh, what should we do? All the customers have cancelled their orders. Will we be fired?" A young employee whispered, biting his lips tightly and twisting his hands nervously.
The employee next to him, who was wearing glasses, said worriedly, "I heard that the order was canceled this time because a foreign studio took the job, and the price was very low. What should we do? How can we compete?"
"Who knows? I hope Mr. Qiao can solve this problem as soon as possible." Then, someone sighed, leaned back in his chair, looked at the ceiling weakly, his heart full of confusion.
Just when they were in deep anxiety, Qiao Qin walked into the studio quietly like a bright ray of sunshine, with a warm smile on her face. The smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, bright and friendly, as if nothing had happened.
Her appearance instantly broke the dullness and depression in the studio.
"Good morning!" Qiao Qin's voice was clear and pleasant, ringing in the studio like a silver bell, instantly attracting the attention of the employees.
They all raised their heads and looked at Qiao Qin, their eyes full of surprise and expectation.
Qiao Qin looked at everyone's nervous expressions, slowly walked to the center of the hall, looked around, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, everyone. I know there have been some problems in the studio recently, but please believe me, I will definitely solve these problems."
Her voice was firm and powerful, full of confidence and determination.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes still filled with worry.
An employee wearing black-framed glasses couldn't help but stand up. He pushed his glasses and said nervously, "Mr. Qiao, we all know that you have been working very hard, but this time the customer's order refund is so serious. I am really afraid of losing this job. After all... after all, many of us rely on this job to support our families."
His voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Qiao Qin looked at him and nodded slightly, her tone full of understanding and sympathy.
"I understand your concerns, but please believe that I will not let you down. Our studio has experienced many difficulties along the way, and we have survived every time, right? We will definitely be able to do it this time too."
At this time, a young female employee also stood up, bit her lip, hesitated and said: "Boss Qiao, we also want to help, but now we don't know what to do."
Qiao Qin smiled and said, "Don't worry, what we need to do now is to maintain confidence. I have found a way to solve the client's problem, and there will be results soon. Moreover, the strength of our studio is obvious to all. As long as we work together, we will be able to overcome this difficulty."
A tall male employee frowned, with a hint of helplessness and frustration in his voice: "Boss Qiao, but we have no work to do now, and I feel uneasy. I always feel like I am useless."
Qiao Qin looked at him, thought for a moment, and then said, "Don't think so. The lack of work now is only temporary. We will give you half a day off in the afternoon to rest and adjust your state. When you come back, we will have a lot of work to do. Everyone should be prepared to meet new challenges in the best condition."
After hearing what Qiao Qin said, the uneasiness on everyone's faces gradually disappeared, replaced by surprise and relaxation, and their hearts were filled with anticipation.
"Really? Mr. Qiao, that's great!" an employee said excitedly with a bright smile on his face.
"Yes, Mr. Qiao, you are amazing!" another employee echoed, his eyes full of admiration.
......
After comforting her employees, Qiao Qin walked into her office. She sat at her desk and began to organize documents. Her eyes seemed to be focused on the documents, but in fact she was quietly paying attention to the movements outside the office.
Followed by.
Following Huo Yan's plan, she deliberately made a phone call in the office, with the voice neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for people outside to hear...
