666: Chapter 655: Did Queen Huo’s Brother Take the Wrong Medicine?
Ning Fan had been a bit annoyed the last couple of days because a fly had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, one that he had to see both in the morning when he went to work and in the evening when he left.
But to tell the truth, Huo Zhanyuan’s persistence was quite a rare sight; however, Ning Fan wasn’t going to give him a kind face just because of this slight change.
The things Huo Zhanyuan had done in the past were still clear in his mind, and it wasn’t so easy to pretend they never happened.
Even if he could get past Ning Fan, he still needed Huo Qiuran’s nod of forgiveness.
Huo Zhanyuan had appeared in front of Xu Corporation several days in a row, including the first time he came back to Zhonghai, making today the fourth day.
Not surprisingly, as soon as Ning Fan stepped downstairs, he saw Huo Zhanyuan already standing at the entrance; without a doubt, the kid was waiting for him.
What Ning Fan hadn’t noticed was that the kid’s Ferrari was gone.
He only noticed that Huo Zhanyuan’s position had changed.
Previously, Huo Zhanyuan had been waiting outside; this time, he was unusually waiting at the doorway.
“Ning Fan, your ‘friend’ is waiting for you again.”
“He’s not any friend of mine, you’ve misunderstood,” Ning Fan replied.
“Hey, don’t deny it.
Are you afraid that if people knew you were associated with Huo Zhanyuan and Huo Qiuran, they would come to you for information about the Queen?”
People around were teasing Ning Fan; they were quite curious about how he knew Huo Zhanyuan.
At the same time, considering that Ning Fan knew Huo Zhanyuan, he must know Huo Qiuran as well; hence, many who didn’t know much about Ning Fan looked at him differently.
“I’m not talking about this anymore.
I’m going to deal with the fly,” Ning Fan said, curling his lips.
He didn’t respond further but headed toward Huo Zhanyuan.
“Fly?” The person watched Ning Fan’s back, somewhat amused yet taken aback.
It was the first time he heard someone describe Huo Qiuran’s brother so bluntly.
Meanwhile, as Huo Zhanyuan saw Ning Fan approaching, a smile of delight crossed his face.
He walked up to meet him and said with a flattering smile, “Brother-in-law, you finally arrived!”
“Who are you?
Do I know you?” Ning Fan retorted coldly, then bypassed Huo Zhanyuan and entered the lobby, making his way toward the elevator.
Huo Zhanyuan wasn’t annoyed; seeing that Ning Fan was acting coldly and pretending not to recognize him, his expression didn’t change at all.
His skin must have reached an invincible level of thickness by now.
Following behind Ning Fan, Huo Zhanyuan felt a bit nervous, but after they got on the elevator and Ning Fan didn’t say anything, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But his relief didn’t last long; after exiting the elevator, Ning Fan didn’t walk away immediately but waited until the others had left.
Then, as if only just noticing Huo Zhanyuan, he looked at him and asked with a smile, “Why did you follow me up here?”
Ning Fan had noticed Huo Zhanyuan trailing him all along but hadn’t mentioned it.
Since there had been many onlookers before, Ning Fan had ignored him, but once everyone had cleared out, he immediately asked.
What did Huo Zhanyuan mean by following him up?
Was he trying to stick around like a sticky candy?
Huo Zhanyuan’s eyes darted around, and far from looking guilty, he smiled and replied, “Just on my way…”
“On your way?”
Ning Fan furrowed his brow, not understanding Huo Zhanyuan’s intentions.
What path was he on, coming to Xu Corporation?
Could it be that the Huo Family wanted to cooperate with Xu Corporation?
But that didn’t make sense either.
If the Huo Family really wanted to cooperate with Xu Corporation to please him, they wouldn’t send Huo Zhanyuan.
It wasn’t that Ning Fan looked down on the kid, but that was the reality—compared to Huo Qiuran’s talents, Huo Zhanyuan was only fit to be considered a foolish landlord’s son.
After scrutinizing Huo Zhanyuan for a few moments, Ning Fan stopped thinking about this and turned his head to go directly to the security department.
After following Ning Fan for a while, Huo Zhanyuan ended up separating from him.
When the morning briefing started in the security department, Ning Fan didn’t join the others, as he was a special presence in the department and didn’t need to attend Zhu Xuetao’s lecture; he could just sit leisurely on the side.
However, a good while passed, and Zhu Xuetao hadn’t arrived yet.
Not only did the security guards feel puzzled, but even Ning Fan found it strange.
Could it have anything to do with Huo Zhanyuan and Zhu Xuetao being late?
Suddenly, such a thought popped up in Ning Fan’s mind, but before he could ponder more on it, Zhu Xuetao’s figure appeared.
“We won’t be having a lecture today, I have something to tell everyone, ahem…”
Zhu Xuetao stood at the door, cleared his throat, and then glanced at Ning Fan, his expression a bit strange.
“Today, we have a new member joining our security department, let me introduce him to everyone.”
As Zhu Xuetao spoke, his facial expression seemed like he was trying hard not to burst out laughing, very odd.
The people in the security department grew curious, wondering who this new member was, even Ning Fan frowned at this moment.
“No way…” Ning Fan murmured, his eyes widening as he looked toward the door of the security department.
And at that moment, Zhu Xuetao stepped aside, allowing the person behind him to come in.
“Huo Zhanyuan, let’s give him a warm round of applause!”
“Hello, everyone, I am Huo Zhanyuan, please take good care of me in the future!”
“Damn!”
The figure of Huo Zhanyuan appeared just after Zhu Xuetao stepped aside, causing Ning Fan to curse out loud.
However, his curse was inconspicuous among the gasps in the security department; as soon as Huo Zhanyuan appeared, the security guards couldn’t help but start discussing.
“Damn, the Queen’s brother?”
“He’s here to be a security guard?
Is my brain broken, or did he take the wrong medicine!”
“Strange indeed, the Queen’s brother stooping to be a guard at Xu Corporation?”
“What the hell!”
With the appearance of Huo Zhanyuan, the entire security department became unsettled.
Who is Huo Zhanyuan?
He is Qiuran’s brother, the Queen of Zhonghai, and now he’s turned up at their Xu Corporation’s security department to be a security guard?
Is today April Fool’s Day?
A group of people held their heads, somewhat unable to accept this fact.
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Zhu Xuetao was not surprised at all because he had the same reaction when he heard Huo Zhanyuan was coming to apply for a security guard.
Huo Zhanyuan, abandoning his rich heir lifestyle to suffer here as a security guard, would be unbelievable and viewed as a joke by others.
However, this was true; yesterday afternoon, Huo Zhanyuan had begged desperately, tearfully pleading with Zhu Xuetao to give him a chance.
So Zhu Xuetao really made it happen, and the news about Huo Zhanyuan joining Xu Corporation as a security guard would definitely spread throughout the company soon!
