In the evening, Wen Li took the initiative to go to Huo Yuanchen's apartment.

In order to leave a good impression on him, she found a clean-looking restaurant nearby, ordered chicken soup and steamed fish, put them in the insulated lunch box she brought, and took it to his house.

She knocked on the door twice, but there was no response from inside, so she tried to enter the password. Unexpectedly, she had been away for so long and the password to his house had not changed, so she got in easily.

She didn't send a message to Huo Yuanchen. She took a shower in his bathroom, went to his study to find a magazine, and read it while waiting for him.

It was just a magazine that Huo Yuanchen put in his study, and it had nothing to do with entertainment. She flipped through two pages and found that she couldn't understand it at all, so she covered her face with the magazine and fell asleep on the sofa.

When Huo Yuanchen opened the door and returned home, he first smelled the aroma of food in the room, and then noticed a figure curled up on the sofa.

He guessed something in his mind, walked to the sofa, looked down at her, then turned around and went to take a shower first.

Wen Li was sleeping soundly when she felt something heavy pressing on her body, making her breathing difficult. She whimpered and tried to wake up, but someone held her hand and pulled it high above her head.

She woke up with a start, everything in front of her eyes was dark, and it took her a while to adjust to the situation before she could see clearly that there was a man on top of her.

"You're back?" she said sleepily. "I brought you dinner."

She made a move to get up, but he held her down, lowered his head and kissed her, saying incoherently, "There's no rush for dinner. I'm not hungry yet."

As she said this, she curled up her legs and squeezed in.

Wen Li didn't refuse, but just said, "Give me the pillow."

He responded and placed two pillows under her waist. The whole process was very gentle, and he took good care of her feelings.

After finishing, Wen Li gently patted the back of his hand and said angrily, "I have already taken a shower, why do I have to take another one?"

He smiled and said, "Eat first, I'll help you wash later."

Wen Li hurriedly said, "No, I'm afraid if you go into the bathroom, I won't be able to get out."

Huo Yuanchen put on his clothes, reached out to pull her up, pinched her face, and said, "You overestimate me. How can I have so much energy?"

Wen Li curled his lips, his face full of disbelief.

She had to take a shower first, otherwise she would feel sticky and uncomfortable. When she came out of the shower, Huo Yuanchen was drinking chicken soup with a bowl in his hand, and he also served her a bowl.

Wen Li asked him hypocritically, "How does it taste?"

He nodded and said, "It's good. It tastes exactly like the restaurant downstairs."

Wen Li said without blushing, "I bought it downstairs. Professor Huo, what do you expect from someone who can't cook?"

He smiled and nodded, "There's nothing to look forward to."

During dinner, Wen Li received a call from Zhou Ying, asking her to help recall the awards she received in college to be included in her resume. Wen Li went through the details with her one by one, and the two ended the call after an hour and a half.

Huo Yuanchen had already washed the dishes. He looked at Wen Li, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Is Zhou Ying looking for a job? I can help and introduce her to Huo's."

Wen Li guessed that he said this because he felt guilty. He didn't have much friendship with Zhou Ying, and even if he had to give Yu Jingchen some face, the Yu family had many connections and resources, so it was not his turn to arrange Zhou Ying into the Huo family on his own initiative.

She was moved. Could it be that he had found out something and knew that Zhou Ying's suspension was somehow related to An Wen? But he still chose to protect An Wen and would rather use the Huo family's resources to get Zhou Ying to keep things quiet?

Wen Li felt very uncomfortable, but on the surface, she said to him gratefully, "If you are willing to help me, that would be great. Huo's is a big company, and many people are trying their best to get in. But this is related to Zhou Ying's future career planning, so I have to talk to her and see what she thinks."

Huo Yuanchen nodded, "It should be."

Wen Li told Zhou Ying about this matter that night, but she did not agree and just said that she would think about it carefully.

A few days later, Zhou Ying told Wen Li, "I have decided not to go to Huo's Group. I appreciate Professor Huo's kindness, but the relationship between him and An Wen... If I go to Huo's, I will inevitably feel uncomfortable."

Wen Li understood her decision and said, "Not to mention you, I feel uncomfortable too. He thought that by arranging you to work for Huo's, he could make up for the harm An Wen caused you. The job of a university teacher is so leisurely and it's a stable job that you can work until you are old. Isn't that what your family wants you to find a job like this? Because of An Wen, you lost your job and your reputation was ruined. How are you going to explain this to your family?"

Zhou Ying said worriedly, "Let's talk about the future later. I have also applied for a review from the school, but there is little hope that the school will withdraw its decision. I'd better look for other opportunities first. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my former classmates for help."

Wen Li said, "I'll ask for you too. Do you have any job-seeking intentions?"

Zhou Ying said, "You know, I haven't looked for a job since I entered school, so I have no idea what kind of talents are needed in the market now. If you only ask me about my own preferences, then I still want to be an English teacher. After all, that's what I studied, and I don't want my past efforts to go to waste."

Wen Li said "I understand" and downloaded the temperament software to help Zhou Ying look at it.

However, she still had to politely refuse Huo Yuanchen's request. In order to show her sincerity, she even went to the school to talk to him in person.

She had been to Huo Yuanchen's office several times, so she was naturally very familiar with it. However, when she came here before, most of the teachers' offices in the corridor had their doors open, and students often came in and out, so she could hear the voices inside even when she stood in the corridor.

Unless there are special circumstances, office doors are generally not closed.

But today was different. The doors of the offices along the entire corridor were all closed tightly. The corridor was quiet and not a single student could be seen looking for the teacher.

Her high heels tapped on the tiles, making a very loud "thump, thump, thump" sound.

It made her a little nervous.

The door of Huo Yuanchen's office could not be opened by knocking, and there was no note on the door as in the past indicating his whereabouts, such as a meeting or going to the laboratory.

Wen Li checked the time and confirmed that he was at work. She called him, but the call was disconnected after one ring.

He doesn't have classes today, could it be that he's going to see An Wen again?

Wen Li thought about it and went to find Yu Jingchen.

Yu Jingchen's office door was also closed, but after she knocked twice, it opened. When he saw it was her, he stepped aside to let her in.

"Looking for Professor Huo?"

Wen Li said "hmm".

Yu Jingchen said, "I advise you not to go to him right now. Professor Huo is in the dean's office now. He is in big trouble."
