Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Chapter 23 A New Colleague Arrives

Early on Monday morning, Fang Shenghe's nanny took Fang Shuyan back home.

Lin Yunzheng saw that it was still early and Huo Chenyuan had not yet gotten up, so she started dancing on the balcony.

As soft music sounded, Lin Yunzheng closed her eyes and took a deep breath of fresh air.

She began to dance, and every step revealed the unique softness and tenacity of a woman, like a flower blooming in the morning light, emitting charming light.

The graceful dance looks particularly charming in the morning light.

Huo Chenyuan got up and went to the kitchen to drink water. His eyes swept across the balcony and he accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene. Seeing Lin Yunzheng's dance, Huo Chenyuan couldn't help but hold his breath, and ripples appeared in his heart.

Lin Yunzheng was wearing red clothes today, and Ning Tingnan in her dream the night before yesterday was also wearing red clothes.

When reality and dreams intersect, Huo Chenyuan feels an extra layer of emotion in his heart.

Lin Yunzheng turned around and found Huo Chenyuan standing up, so she stopped dancing. She saw Huo Chenyuan standing there with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Breakfast is ready, do you want to eat now?"

"Okay, thank you, Lin Yunzheng." Huo Chenyuan's voice was low and polite, without any unnecessary greetings.

The atmosphere between the two people seemed a little subtle because of this question and answer, as if there was an invisible barrier between them, keeping a certain distance from each other.

Lin Yunzheng then entered the kitchen and brought out the breakfast she had already prepared. On the table, steaming hot coffee, freshly baked bread, and an exquisite salad all demonstrated her meticulous attention to detail.

After breakfast, Huo Chenyuan said, "It's still early today, let me drive you to the company."

Lin Yunzheng hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.

He was wearing a dark blue tailored suit with a simple shirt underneath. The metal watch strap on his wrist reflected the morning light, adding a touch of tough charm.

Whenever he encounters an intersection, he slows down in advance, showing the steadiness and carefulness of a mature man.

Lin Yunzheng, sitting in the passenger seat, looked out the window at the scenery outside and listened to the soft jazz music playing inside the car, which gradually made her feel sleepy. For some reason, she felt a sense of security next to Huo Chenyuan, allowing her to safely immerse herself in this moment of tranquility.

While waiting for the red light, Huo Chenyuan took a look at her. Her sleeping face was peaceful and beautiful, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth. Her whole body exuded a kind of gentleness that transcended the world.

"We're here." Twenty minutes later, Huo Chenyuan gently pushed Lin Yunzheng.

Lin Yunzheng rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly sat up straight in her seat.

After she thanked Huo Chenyuan softly, she opened the door and stepped out of the car.

After entering the office, Lin Yunzheng immediately immersed herself in the tense working atmosphere.

As a senior designer, the projects she was responsible for had always attracted much attention. However, today's meeting brought her a series of surprises.

The boss announced that due to some internal adjustments, the project design draft of Jingyang Company that Lin Yunzheng had worked so hard to design would need to be handed over to another new colleague.

The lighting in the conference room is bright and soft.

Lin Yunzheng sat at one end of the long table, holding the project design plan for Jingyang Company. This was one of the projects she had devoted the most effort to since joining the company.

Design Director Jiang Qianqian looked around and cleared her throat. "First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for their hard work over the past few months. Our business has made significant progress, especially on Jingyang's project, where we see unprecedented opportunities."

Her tone was firm, but her next words plunged the entire conference room into silence. "However, in order to better optimize resource allocation, the company has decided to make some internal adjustments. This means that some ongoing projects will need to re-evaluate their staffing... including Jingyang's projects."

Lin Yunzheng felt as if she had a premonition. Sure enough, Design Director Jiang Qianqian's next words confirmed her concerns: "Taking into account the overall layout and development needs, we've decided to hand over Jingyang's proposal to new hire Chen Yu. We believe her youthful thinking will inject new vitality into the project."

The air in the conference room seemed to freeze. Lin Yunzheng looked up in disbelief, a flicker of disappointment and confusion in her eyes. She stood up and said, "Director Jiang, I built this project from scratch. My understanding and passion for it are irreplaceable. Why... why can't I continue to be in charge?"

Design Director Jiang Qianqian looked displeased and explained, "Lin Yunzheng, your abilities and contributions are obvious to all. This change isn't a doubt about your abilities, but rather a strategic decision for the company. You're now the project leader for that Times Group project, so we need to give newcomers a chance, don't we?"

"Maybe I don't have enough experience." Chen Yu actually shirked it.

"Chen Yu, you have to believe in yourself. I already felt your ability during the interview." Director Jiang insisted.

Seeing that this new decision was not fully accepted, Jiang Qianqian's face turned serious: "The person who is now the design director is me, not you. I have my reasons for arranging the work this way."

After the meeting, Lin Yunzheng felt a little heavy-hearted. She left the crowd and went to the tea room to take a rest.

Lin Yunzheng walked slowly through the quiet office area, the air filled with the faint aroma of coffee.

The tea room is located at the end of the corridor, and the lighting is slightly darker and softer.

Entering the tea room, she heard a female colleague lower her voice and ask mysteriously, "Have you heard? That newcomer, Chen Yu, is actually the younger sister of Designer Ke's wife!"

Another male colleague showed a look of sudden enlightenment and echoed, "No wonder, it turns out it's nepotism. It seems that those of us who work so hard can't compare to those who have good relatives."

Someone nearby interrupted, their tone clearly filled with dissatisfaction: "That's right, the design director is a shrew, always trying to please Mr. Ke. Now it's Mr. Ke's sister-in-law's turn to take advantage of the situation. She can directly take away Lin Yunzheng's design drafts that she worked hard on for half a year and turn them into her own project."

After hearing this, Lin Yunzheng basically understood.

Lin Yunzheng quietly retreated, leaned against the wall, remained silent for a while, and returned to his seat.

The morning sun shone obliquely, illuminating a corner of the office.

Just as Lin Yunzheng was busy with her work, Chen Yu walked over.

Chen Yu rested her hands lightly on the edge of the table, looking at Lin Yunzheng earnestly. "Sister Lin," she said, a hint of uneasiness in her voice, "I know that the recent events regarding me and this project may have caused you a lot of trouble, so I wanted to explain everything to you personally."

Lin Yunzheng raised her eyes slightly and looked at the girl in front of her with complicated eyes.

She remembered the conversations in the tea room and had a general understanding of Chen Yu's background.

"Oh?" Lin Yunzheng responded, her attitude neither cold nor enthusiastic.

"Actually, I really didn't intend to steal your project," she said frankly. "You know, I just joined the company not long ago and I'm still unfamiliar with many things. I've seen your award-winning work before and I'm quite fond of you. I don't want to steal your project. Don't worry, I'll talk to Mr. Ke later."

Chen Yu's words surprised her a little. She felt at this moment that Chen Yu was either very kind or very cunning. He was afraid that Lin Yunzheng was unwilling to do a good job of handover, so he wanted to win her heart.

"Thank you, Chen Yu." Lin Yunzheng finally responded, her tone much gentler than before.

A smile broke out on Chen Yu's face, he nodded, and turned to leave.

Before leaving get off work, Chen Yu, Lin Yunzheng, and the rest of the Jingyang project team received an email. Lin Yunzheng was still the head of the Jingyang project team. Chen Yu was merely serving as Lin Yunzheng's assistant, assisting in the project and completing tasks assigned by Lin Yunzheng.
