Chapter 723: 723, Instant Petrification
But it was already too late, Huo Jingshen had scooped her up into his arms.
Su Wanwan was flabbergasted, “I’ve only gotten halfway through the English questions downstairs.”
Huo Jingshen chuckled lowly, “You can finish the questions tomorrow.”
Su Wanwan: “…”
…
n are always so strong and domineering.
Carrying an aura of wanting to burn her completely.
…
The next day, they were once again woken up by a phone call.
She didn’t even look at the ti and promptly buried her face back into the sheets.
Huo Jingshen stretched his arm to reach for the phone, took a glance, and answered, “Hello.”
The call was from Huo Zhexi.
He asked self-righteously from the other end, “Big brother, why aren’t you at work? Work starts at 9, and it’s already 10 minutes past, are you planning to have half a day’s pay deducted for being late?”
Huo Jingshen hung up imdiately and flung the phone back.
Little brat.
“Who was that?” Su Wanwan frowned, wondering why he had hung up after just one word.
Huo Jingshen replied, “Zhexi.”
“Oh.” Su Wanwan yawned and lazily mumbled, “So sleepy…”
“Hmm, then go back to sleep for a while.” Huo Jingshen rubbed her little head and held her close again with his big hand.
The sun shone brightly.
Perfect weather for…lazing in bed with his lovely wife.

Huo Yuan Group.
Huo Zhexi hung up the phone in a huff.
Although he wanted to call back, he was afraid of Huo Jingshen losing his temper.
For the sake of his own life, he had to swallow his irritation.
“Master Huo,” Ji Jie’s voice suddenly rang out.
Huo Zhexi lifted his head impatiently, “What?”
Ji Jie said, “Have you finished preparing the materials I asked for yesterday? The boss will need it for the eting later.”
Huo Zhexi frowned, “What materials?”
“The work summary of each departnt for the first quarter, you were supposed to compile them all into a PPT for the boss to review during the eting.”
“PPT, what PPT?”
Ji Jie: “…”
This is truly a nightmare.
All he could do was ask, “Master Huo, do you know how to make a PPT?”
“No.”
Ji Jie wiped his sweat, “…I’ll find soone to teach you.”
Just as he was about to leave.
“Wait a minute.” Huo Zhexi leaned back casually, smacking his lips, coughed twice before he lowered his voice and asked, “By the way, can I get an advance on this month’s salary?”
“Master Huo, you want to get an advance on your salary?” Ji Jie was astonished, and his voice unconsciously rose.
“Damn, why are you so loud?” Huo Zhexi found it sowhat embarrassing.
He was afraid everyone would know he, the Third Master Huo, was out of money?
Especially when he saw so colleagues glancing over…
Wow, how awkward!
But…
He had no choice.
Huo Juncheng had stopped all his bank cards. Nowadays, people hardly carried cash around, apart from a credit card, he didn’t usually use applications like Alipay or Huabei……
The only thing he used was his WeChat Wallet, thankfully there was so balance left in it.
However, he’d impulsively smashed his phone during lunch yesterday and after buying a new one, there was hardly anything left.
So the current situation was: Adding up all his possessions, he had just a bit over 2000 yuan.
But he’d promised to celebrate Bai Ruwei’s birthday tonight.
This would be the first ti he was celebrating his girlfriend’s birthday. As a boyfriend, if he couldn’t afford a gift or a candlelight dinner, how could he show his face?
He had no choice but to shalessly ask for an advance on his salary.
Ji Jie thought for a mont, “But getting an advance on your salary requires a process, and I need to ask for Huo Boss’s opinion first.”
The mont he heard that he needed to ask Huo Boss, Huo Zhexi imdiately refused, “Never mind, forget about it.”
His big brother was such a heartless miser, he didn’t even need to ask to know that he would definitely refuse to give an advance, probably seizing the opportunity to mock and belittle him again.
Forget it.

After leaving the secretary’s office, Ji Jie walked a few steps, then picked up his phone to dial Huo Jingshen’s number.
After much deliberation, he felt it was best to inform Huo Boss and ask his opinion about this.
After all, Master Huo was Huo Boss’s younger brother, and with his bank cards all stopped, he didn’t have any other source of inco besides his salary. What if he urgently needed money?
The phone rang a few tis before soone answered. Just as he was about to speak…
“What is it?”
Huo Jingshen’s voice sounded a bit ominous.
Ji Jie was taken aback.
Imdiately after, Su Wanwan’s voice ca through, “Who is it?”
The woman’s voice was soft and sweet, sounding like it was coming from beneath a quilt.
Ji Jie was petrified in an instant.
Holy shit!
No wonder Boss Huo didn’t co to work today. He was imrsed in the realm of sweetness, huh.
Is it too late to hang up now?
“Speak!” Huo Jingshen demanded coldly.
Ji Jie, trembling, managed to say, “Boss Huo, Master Huo ntioned wanting an advance on this month’s salary. I’m worried he might be in so trouble. What do you think…”
“Give him the advance.”
Ji Jie was taken aback, hastily nodding, “Okay, got it.”
“Anything else?”
“No-nothing else.” Ji Jie was sweating cold bullets, “Boss Huo, you continue, I’ll hang up now.”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
After ending the call, Ji Jie started to get Huo Zhexi to go through the procedure.
Although it was a bit troubleso, Huo Zhexi was quite happy to finally get the money.
However, he was left with only 3500 after a 500 deduction.
Huo Zhexi felt a pang, regretting that he didn’t save so money by not playing his ga yesterday so that he could buy a few more roses with that extra 500 bucks.
The next second.
Damn!
Huo Zhexi, you loser. You used to splurge 500,000 without batting an eye, but now you’re agonizing over 500 bucks?
You’re pathetic!
**
In the bedroom on the second floor.
Su Wanwan asked, “You agreed to Huo Zhexi getting an advance on his salary?”
Huo Jingshen nodded.
Su Wanwan imdiately scrutinized him with her small eyes, “Why the sudden generosity?”
Huo Zhexi took an advance on his salary after just one day at work?
What happened to letting young people learn so hardship?
Huo Jingshen stroked her little head, “Are you well-rested?”
Su Wanwan checked the ti and instantly hopped out of bed.
She had to go back to the TV station this morning.
Now that Yan Shunhua’s job interview was a success and he would start on the 18th, she needed to wrap up her internship with the TV station. Additionally, she had left so personal items there from the two months she had spent working.
…
Under the loving gaze of Old Lady Huo, Su Wanwan finished a bowl of millet porridge and then hitched a ride with Huo Jingshen.
Upon arriving at the TV station, Huo Jingshen said, “Don’t make any other plans for tonight.”
“Why?”
“Shi Huan is getting discharged, Xiuhuang suggested a celebration.”
“Sure.”
Huo Jingshen pinched her small hand, “Off you go.”
…
Even though she hadn’t visited for half a month, the security guard still recognized Su Wanwan and let her in without checking her badge.
Upon entering the building and stepping out of the elevator, she found Zhao Qianqian already waiting for her.
“Wanwan, I already heard from Li Xiaolin, did you really get an interview with a film crew?”
“Yes.”
“Damn, you’re amazing! The film industry is way more prestigious than the television industry. Do well so that I can join you later.”
Su Wanwan laughed, “How are you doing here?”
“It’s okay, I’m just running errands for the boss all day, it’s exhausting…”
Upon entering the office, Zhao Qianqian whispered, “There are so review leaders from the departnt here today. Be careful. All our teachers, including Di, are also here.”
“Ok.”
Su Wanwan nodded.
As they walked through the corridor, the entire scriptwriting area was incredibly silent.
And everything was spotless. Even the usually chaotic workspace was immaculately organized.
“Probably in Teacher Di’s office.” Zhao Qianqian pointed.
Su Wanwan briefly glanced and then proceeded to her own desk.
Having not been here in half a month, her desk was covered in dust. As Su Wanwan was tidying up her things, she heard the sound of a door opening and voices nearby.
Di Chenghe, Xia i, including so other departnt leaders, walked out first. So journalists with microphones and caras rushed around, then a middle-aged man walked out of the office.
Upon seeing him, Su Wanwan…
Was sowhat startled.
It was Su Yuntang?
