“Master Huo? Is that really you?”
Zuo Hongchen didn’t know what was happening. Then, he saw a middle-aged man running toward them.
He smiled and tried to look good for Huo Jinyao. “Master Huo, it’s such a surprise to see you here.”
Huo Jinyao looked at the man before him, seemingly trying to figure out who he was.
“My name is Liu. You may have forgotten me. Our company has done work with one of your downstream firms.”
Saying this, Mr. Liu lightly scratched his head. “Of course, our company is quite small. It cannot compare with Huo’s Group.”
He talked so much that Huo Jinyao had no way to get a single word in.
Zuo Hongchen was watching the unexpected episode play out in front of him. He noticed that Huo Jinyao narrowed his eyes and seemed to recall who the man was.
Mr. Liu knew he was a nobody, so he just made a few conventional remarks.
All he said was something about his company and Huo Jinyao didn’t appear to care at all. He felt embarrassed and smiled.
Zuo Hongchen had liked Su Qingsang since the first day she interned at the hospital.
He had thought about wooing her, but he understood Su Qingsang’s personality completely.
If he failed, he was afraid that they could not even stay friends. Under such circumstances, he restrained himself and revealed nothing about his feelings.
He had thought Su Qingsang would get married at thirty as she had said before, but…
“Senior Zuo, do you dislike the food here? Why don’t you have a taste?”
Huo Jinyao picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and removed the bones. Then, he put them into Su Qingsang’s bowl.
Su Qingsang was very uncomfortable. She could do this on her own. She was accustomed to being taken care of by Huo Jinyao.
Huo Jinyao did this many times. Su Qingsang really wanted to stop him. Still, she remembered that Zuo Hongchen was still sitting there.
If I stop him, he will lose his face in front of Zuo Hongchen.
Su Qingsang hadn’t been married before, but her etiquette required her to save face for others in public.
Zuo Hongchen cast a glance at him and picked up his chopsticks. He asked casually, “I was just thinking. Why did that man call you Master Huo?”
