Chapter 800: Miss Huo Is A Talisman

Min Yu’s lips twitched. Her logic certainly made sense. He closed the window before he turned and sat down at the desk and said, “I got you a necklace to go with the jade pendant which Old Madam Yang gave you.”

Huo Yao had gotten the same idea. Before she could answer, Min Yu’s voice came from over the phone.

“Old Madam Yang gave you the necklace as a talisman, so you should just accept it,” said Min Yu softly. Old Madam Yang had called him recently to remind him about it.

Huo Yao pressed her forehead and said powerlessly, “It is wrong to promote superstition.” Still she opened her drawer and took out the jade pendant as she spoke.

Min Yu could hear the sound of her drawer opening from over the phone. He pursed his lips and smiled as he added. “Remember to wear it at all times.”

“Okay,” answered Huo Yao eventually. She placed her phone on the table and put the jade pendant on the necklace.

The exquisite necklace went well with the small jade pendant and looked elegant. Huo Yao raised her brow and felt he had good taste.

After contemplating briefly, she put on the necklace and checked herself in the mirror. The jade was translucent and her complexion was fair, so it seemed to blend right into her body.

Huo Yao touched the jade pendant before putting it under her clothing. She thought about the Chinese medicine Yang Yi had just sent her and went over to her medicine room.

Since Huo Yao had to go for driving lessons in a few days, she called Huo Changfeng in the morning before she left the house and made plans to meet him so that she could pass him the medication.

Huo Changfeng did not expect her to have his phone number, let alone contact him. He could not help feeling excited and offered to take her out for lunch after her driving lesson.

After hanging up the phone, Huo Changfeng remained happy and looked genial. There were roughly 20 subordinates in the meeting room watching him. All of them felt as though they had seen a ghost and their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Was he the heartless Chief Steward they knew?

Why was he looking so kind? Something was definitely wrong about him today.

Huo Changfeng detected his men’s strange looks. He promptly composed himself and reverted to his usual glacial self. “… Do you have anything else to report? Otherwise, the meeting is over.”

Everyone went quiet.

Chen Ming cleared his throat and reminded him softly. “Chief Steward, the meeting hasn’t started yet.”

Huo Changfeng went speechless.

After a moment, Huo Changfeng acknowledged nonchalantly and said, “Then let’s continue.”

All the subordinates walked out of the meeting room an hour later and felt relieved.

Before the meeting, they were prepared to get reprimanded and punished. They simply did not expect Huo Changfeng to be so genial and did not say a single harsh word at them.

They could not help feeling curious about who Huo Changfeng spoke to before the meeting had started. They walked up to Chen Ming. He was organizing some documents, but got pulled aside and was interrogated by everyone.

Chen Ming raised his brow and straightened his back before he explained. “Of course he was talking to Miss Huo.”

Everyone finally caught on to who the caller was.

“From the looks of it, Miss Huo just saved us,” said someone.

“If we talk about Miss Huo, do you think Chief Steward will be nicer to us?”

“Considering his behavior today, I think it is absolutely possible.”

Everyone chatted one after another as they thought about using Huo Yao like a talisman.

Chen Ming did not go on conversing with them any longer. Instead, he went over to Huo Changfeng’s office.
