Huo Mian was reserved in character and only joked with people close to her. Facing this crisis, she didn’t weep in grief or bawl like a baby. She only told An simply, “I will find Su Yu.”
It proved that actions were always more important than empty promises; Huo Mian would use her actions to fulfill her promise.
Of course, Su Yu was as important to her as a family member. She remembered all the things they had gone through and Su Yu’s feelings for her and all the things he had done for her in the past years.
“An, you go back to the company and make some arrangements. Don’t let the company fall apart at this moment.”
Huo Mian realized Su Yu’s company was now headless.
“President Huo, I’m just his bodyguard and assistant. You know I’ve never gotten involved in the business in the company. You’re asking me to do something I can’t accomplish.”
An found the task daunting. He didn’t know business, only how to fight.
Huo Mian sighed slightly. “This is a big issue. Fine. Give me the number of the vice president of Imperial Star and I’ll make some arrangements. After that, I’ll talk to Wei Liao and Tang Chuan about the future plans.”
“Okay.”
An pulled out the number from Su Yu’s cell phone and handed it to Huo Mian.
“An, you call him. Because you’re Su Yu’s assistant, your words have weight.”
“But… I don’t know what to say.” An looked pained.
“I’ll teach you.”
“Okay.”
At Huo Mian’s suggestion, An called the company’s vice president, telling him that President Su was out of town for a few days to deal with an urgent business; the company was entrusted to the vice president to run, and the small projects would continue but the big ones would pause.
In fact, the company was at a stage that it didn’t need its boss to make every decision; like other big companies, it could be run by a few trusted and efficient executives.
Huo Mian wasn’t worried about the operation of Imperial Star, but she knew her arrangements were only effective for a short term.
She didn’t know when Su Yu would return…
She was afraid that his life was in danger.
What was the motive of those people for kidnapping Su Yu?
For revenge or… a huge ransom? Or other purposes?
She knew nothing about it.
After the call, Huo Mian looked at An’s anxious face and said, “You haven’t eaten yet, right?”
An shook his head tiredly… Then a growl came from his stomach and his honest face reddened.
“Little Yang.”
“Yes, Madam?” Little Yang entered immediately.
“Take An to the cafeteria to have breakfast.”
“President Huo, I’m not hungry. I have no appetite.” An was anxious, feeling as if the sky had fallen with Su Yu kidnapped.
“Only with food in your belly can you have the strength to find Su Yu. We can’t collapse before that.”
Huo Mian was eloquent and persuaded An to have breakfast with a few words.
Qin Chu ended his call with Gao Ran.
“How did it go, Honey?”
“Gao Ran did some investigation, but…”
“No clues?” Huo Mian guessed.
“No, not a clue. These people are very good… They must have planned his kidnapping for a long time.”
Qin Chu felt bad when he heard Gao Ran’s disappointing report.
Su Yu, his rival in love, had become a special friend of his.
“Honey, what shall we do now? Should we… tell Aunt Su?” Huo Mian was a bit panicked and didn’t know what to do.
