Chapter 160. Show affection in person

Wen Li didn't expect that Huo Yuanchen had actually waited for her for so long.

She might have been frightened by Meng Jinnian's behavior of waiting for her at her door all night. Seeing Huo Yuanchen like this, she subconsciously took two steps back.

This is the body's instinctive reaction when it encounters someone who makes her feel uneasy. Huo Yuanchen is an expert in biology, so he naturally understands what this reaction means.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he let out a sarcastic smile, "Are you afraid of me?"

Wen Li didn't say anything. But the alertness and alienation on her face were very obvious. She asked him, "What does Professor Huo want from me?"

Huo Yuanchen said, "I want to ask you for a favor."

Wen Li sneered loudly, and his voice echoed in the empty underground parking lot, sounding a little sharp.

She said, "Professor Huo also needs my help?"

Obviously, she didn't believe it. She thought it was just a lame excuse.

Huo Yuanchen was very upset by her attitude. He sneered and said, "I thought that after breaking up, you would still ask me to carry you into the hotel, so it wouldn't be too much for me to ask you for a small favor."

Wen Li immediately thought that he was talking about what happened after she got drunk that night.

She said with a bad look on her face , "I was drunk at the time. No matter what I did to you, I didn't think it through. It wasn't my intention. If you misunderstood me, I apologize."

Huo Yuanchen looked at her expressionlessly for a while, then suddenly smiled, the kind of smile that could scare people, with cold eyes.

He said, "You mean to say that you were just teasing me that night when you held me tightly and praised my abdominal muscles for feeling good?"

Wen Li wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into. She didn't know she could be so naughty when she was drunk.

He actually praised Huo Yuanchen for his good abdominal muscles?

Just this one sentence made her lose to him by a large margin in terms of momentum.

Wen Li sighed, "Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

Huo Yuanchen took two steps closer and said calmly, "I have a student, the one you met in the hospital a few days ago. Her name is Li Hong. She is a very hard-working student with a talent for scientific research. However, her family conditions are not very good. She lost her father when she was very young, and her mother is frail and sickly."

Wen Li frowned and interrupted him, "What do you want to say? What does your student have to do with me?"

Huo Yuanchen said, "I heard from my mother that your studio is planning to hire a short-term worker. What do you think of Li Hong? Her mother is in the hospital now, and she is in urgent need of money, but I don't want her to give up her doctorate degree because of this. Since you want to hire someone, let her work for you for a few months, and when her mother is discharged from the hospital, it's okay even if you want to fire her."

Wen Li was a little hesitant. She really admired people who were smart and hardworking, and when she heard that Li Hong was studying for a doctorate, she wanted to help.

But she was a little bothered that such an outstanding talent was Huo Yuanchen's student. She thought, it would be great if Li Hong could change her tutor.

She asked him, "The Huo Group is such a big company, how can it not accommodate a student like you?"

Huo Yuanchen explained, "Huo's company has no plan to recruit short-term interns. Besides, Li Hong is studying for a master's and doctorate degree. Before she graduates with a doctorate, she only has a bachelor's degree. Undergraduates cannot work in R&D positions at Huo's company. If Li Hong enters, her talent will be buried."

Wen Li said speechlessly, "Then I am further burying her here. My studio is not even a legitimate company, and it has nothing to do with your biology studies."

Huo Yuanchen said, "I asked you for help because it was actually Li Hong's idea. She didn't dare to ask you, so she asked me to ask."

Wen Li was stunned. "You mean, Li Hong wants to come to my studio to work part-time?"

Huo Yuanchen nodded. "Li Hong's family is not well off. She had never taken a photo before she entered high school. The first photo was taken for the admission ticket for the high school entrance examination. She said that her mother had never been to a photo studio in her life. She wants to learn photography from you and take photos for her mother after she learns it."

Wen Li wanted to say no, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

She thought about it and decided to say something up front. "Let me make it clear first. My studio may only be busy for a while. After that, it will be less busy. I have little profit and I won't be able to hire anyone."

Huo Yuanchen smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I can't let her work part-time with you all the time. She is a student, so she should focus on her studies."

Wen Li hesitated for a while before reluctantly saying, "Then let her come. But I can't pay her a very high salary."

Huo Yuanchen said, "You don't have to pay. I'll pay her salary."

Wen Li thought about it for a while before he realized that he was trying to relieve the financial pressure on his students. Li Hong probably felt embarrassed to have him bear the medical expenses for her mother. He wanted to help Li Hong, so he came up with this idea, to send Li Hong to the studio to learn photography, and then he would pay Li Hong's salary, so that Li Hong could continue to pay for her mother's medical treatment with peace of mind.

She was a little touched, but not much. She thought, he was quite nice to his students, but it still couldn't change the fact that he was a scumbag.

Wen Li looked at her studio's appointment schedule and said, "A boy band will come to my studio to take photos the day after tomorrow. Please ask her to come at 8:30 in the morning."

Huo Yuanchen raised his eyebrows, "Boy group?"

Wen Li thought he didn't read entertainment news, so he kindly explained, "It's a newly formed group, and the members are all young. The agency asked them to go for a friendly and sunny style. They said they saw the photos I took of Cheng Yang and felt good about them, so they asked me to take promotional photos for them."

She said with a headache, "I heard there are eight people in a group. I'm really worried that I can't handle it."

Huo Yuanchen didn't say anything, but his expression was visibly ugly.

Wen Li didn't care whether he looked good or not. Now that she had finished talking about the matter, she was ready to leave.

Huo Yuanchen asked her, "Have you had dinner?"

Wen Li didn't hear it because her cell phone rang at this time. It was Cheng Yang calling.

She answered the call and asked with a hint of amusement in her voice, "Why did you call me so soon? Did you forget something?"

Huo Yuanchen was close to her and heard the boy's excited and expectant voice coming from her phone, saying, "I really forgot that the thing was with my sister. Can you guess what it is?"

Wen Li said anxiously, "Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me before I leave, and I'll get it and send it to you."

The girl laughed twice and said, "I forgot my heart with my sister. Would you like to give it to me?"

Wen Li was speechless and said nothing.

The other side said, "I'm serious, I really miss my sister, I miss you after just being apart for a while."

Wen Li remembered that he had a business event to attend at this time, and he probably took the time to call her before he went on stage.

She asked him to go to work first and contact him after he was done. Although Cheng Yang was reluctant, he still hung up the phone obediently.

Wen Li had just put away her phone when she heard Huo Yuanchen speak coldly, "Are you guys moving too fast?"
