Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

"Uh, am I that old?" Huo Chenjun frowned.

"Oh, brother, whoever is so bold as to call you old, I will beat him up for you! What people are saying is that your care is very warm and makes me worry-free." Miss Tang blinked her eyes, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she buried her head in Huo Chenjun's arms.

Then, Tang Xiaqing said gently but firmly: "Thank you for your kindness, brother, but not tonight. My father was discharged from the hospital today, and I want to go home to accompany him in the evening."

"Okay. Regarding today's matter, in addition to teaching you business management, I have other gifts waiting for you, but they will be revealed in a few days." He deliberately kept it a secret, arousing Tang Xiaqing's curiosity.

Tang Xiaqing's eyes lit up, and she asked happily, "Wow, what other surprises are there? Big brother, don't keep me in suspense, tell me now!"

Huo Chenjun shook his head: "No, that won't do. Surprises should be kept until the end. I think you will definitely like it."

Lin Yunzheng has passed the dangerous period of pregnancy. After being discharged from the hospital, she plans to ask the driver to take her to visit her mother's grave and tell her mother that she is pregnant.

When I stepped into the cemetery, the morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the birdsong and the rustling of leaves could be heard.

She walked slowly along the path, approaching her mother's resting place, each step carrying a heavy burden of longing. Every time she came here, time seemed to freeze, and only longing surged in her like a tidal wave.

When she reached the tomb, she stopped and the sight before her shocked her.

In front of the tombstone, a bouquet of flowers lay quietly, emitting a faint fragrance. It was obvious that they were placed there just a few days ago.

This scene made Lin Yunzheng feel dazed. She wondered if someone had come here earlier than her?

She squatted down gently, and stroked the bouquet of flowers with her fingers. Her mother's smile and countless warm scenes emerged in her mind.

With an inexplicable emotion welling up in her heart, Lin Yunzheng decided to find out who had left the flowers. She looked around, hoping to find a clue, perhaps a card or some inadvertent trace.

However, there was nothing around except silence.

"Mom, I already have a baby now. Doctor Huo is very good to me..." Lin Yunzheng expressed her inner thoughts.

Before leaving, she took out her cell phone and called her husband, Dr. Huo.

The call was quickly connected, and she asked, "Chenyuan, I came to see Mom's tombstone this morning and found a bouquet of fresh flowers on it. Did you put them there?"

Dr. Huo's gentle voice came from the other end of the line, "Yes, dear, it's me. When I learned that you were pregnant, I thought I should share the news with Mom, so I went there yesterday."

After hearing this, Lin Yunzheng felt a warm current surge in her heart, and tears blurred her eyes. "Thank you, Chenyuan."

On the way back, the autumn wind blew gently, the leaves of the trees rustled, and the mountains in the distance were looming in the mist.

Inside the car, Lin Yunzheng leaned against the window, gazing at the scenery outside, her mood calm and leisurely.

Just as she was immersed in the poetry of autumn, the vibration of her cell phone broke the silence in the car.

Huo Chenjun's voice came over, "Yun Zheng, how are things going recently? I want to prepare a gift for your good friend Tang Xiaqing, but I'm not sure what color she likes. Can you give me some advice?"

Lin Yunzheng thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, I see. Tang Xiaqing actually likes blue, especially that kind of ocean blue, which is deep and elegant."

"Okay, I understand." Huo Chenjun responded, "One more thing. When you have time, talk to Chen Yuan about it. How about the four of us get together for a meal?"

"Of course, no problem!" Lin Yunzheng agreed: "I'll discuss it with Chen Yuan when I get home tonight."

Huo Chenjun put down the phone and dialed the internal line to ask Secretary Wang to come in.

Secretary Wang knocked on the door and walked in lightly. He closed the door and stopped in front of the desk. "Mr. Huo, what do you want me to do?" Secretary Wang's voice was professional and respectful.

"Tonight's business dinner," Huo Chenjun said as he flipped through the documents, "remember to notify the bank president and other senior executives to confirm. Also, change the private room to a larger one because I want to bring my girlfriend."

The secretary nodded in agreement. Just as she was about to leave, she hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Mr. Huo, I need to report something to you about my personal situation. Because my pregnancy is unstable and I'm an older mother, my doctor recommended that I take maternity leave early, for approximately six months. I need to start as soon as possible. I've already reported this to the Human Resources Department."

There was a hint of apology in her voice.

Huo Chenjun frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and turned his gaze to the secretary, "Approved. But you must ensure that all handover work is completed as soon as possible and does not affect business continuity. Ask the human resources manager to come to me now." His tone was businesslike.

The HR manager walked into Mr. Huo's office and pulled out a list. "Mr. Huo, I wanted to show you a few days ago, but you were quite busy at the time. Here's a list of candidates. We're temporarily hiring a secretary who needs to be familiar with our project. It would be more convenient for us to arrange a transfer from within the company."

After saying that, the HR manager took out the list and handed it to Mr. Huo for personal review.

"Who do you think is the most suitable candidate?" Mr. Huo looked up, his eyes sharp and his face stern.

The HR manager had anticipated this and remained calm. "I think Su Xianyun would be the most suitable person to take over the secretary position for six months. As your secretary, I'll not only need to arrange your schedule, but also understand the project."

Mr. Huo looked at her without saying anything.

The HR manager paused and continued, "Su Xianyun has demonstrated excellent coordination skills and profound professional knowledge in past projects. Furthermore, her image, temperament, and academic background perfectly match the company's requirements for a secretary position."

After listening to this, Mr. Huo nodded and said, "Okay."

Ten minutes later, Su Xianyun arrived at Mr. Huo's office and asked, "Mr. Huo, I just handed over the work to Secretary Wang. I've already notified and confirmed everyone attending tonight's dinner, except for your girlfriend. I haven't notified her yet, and I don't have her contact information. Do you need me to contact her?"

"No need. I will drive to pick up my girlfriend myself." Mr. Huo responded calmly while reviewing documents with his head down.
