Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 530 - 528

For Su Yan, he considered himself to be somewhat lenient; after all, Su Yan had dedicated a lot to the Huo Family branch in America over the years.

The fierce competition on the business battlefield is so intense that even men often find it tough to survive.

For a woman, it’s even more brutal.

Yet, for these years, Su Yan had fought harder than any man, investing her whole being into the Huo Family, tirelessly working day and night to secure a deal, getting right back up to continue even when sick, and laughing and drinking with clients at dinner without complaint. Even when groped by some crude and wealthy customers, she swallowed the humiliation without saying much.

As the Boss, of course he knew about these things.

The Huo Family’s focus used to be in China and Asia, and when they had just taken root in LA, their foundation was not that firm, especially for the Chinese in the market, which wasn’t so easy to tap into.

And to top it off, America had been hit by financial turmoil these past two years, making the situation even more stringent.

At that time, he was still in his post-operative recovery phase, haunted by post-surgery complications, and both subjective and objective conditions did not allow him to overexert himself.

The presence of Su Yan, indeed, at one point became an indispensable right-hand helper for him.

He recognized and utilized people well and gradually came to trust Su Yan even more. He saw the resilience and excellent work capabilities in this young woman and generously gave her opportunities to rise, eventually promoting her step by step to the position of chief secretary above thousands.

Today, all the administrative affairs of the Huo Family in America are in Su Yan’s hands, and she is also responsible for some of the important clients in the market.

To give up such a talented individual, to be honest, Huo Zhenyang was somewhat reluctant to let go, because after all, even raising a dog requires a lot of effort, let alone cultivating a capable and reliable general, which isn’t that easy.

But when he thought of her actions in the past, he had made up his mind.

A rare talent like a thousand-mile horse is hard to find, but the mother and son who have returned to his side are even more important.

He would not allow anyone to harm them, not even by a shred, even if that person was an underling he had developed over the years and trusted the most, even if that person hadn’t laid a hand on them, but merely harbored ill intentions.

At that moment, the man’s succinct and cold response echoed through the study, finally settling down.

Su Yan wasn’t surprised, but she didn’t know he would answer so quickly, really having no intention of retaining her.

Four years of tireless dedication to him, over fourteen hundred days and nights spent together, turned out to be insignificant in front of Xiaoyi and her son.

This man could separate business from emotions distinctively, but it seemed that everything was biased towards Xiaoyi when it came to her.

A sour taste welled up in her throat, her eyes hot with tears. Perhaps it was because she had once worked her heart out for the Huo Family, being a workhorse, that he let her resign smoothly; otherwise, he wouldn’t have let her off so easily.

"Okay, I won’t bother the Boss any longer, oh, no, I mean I won’t bother Mr. Huo any longer." She no longer had the right to call him Boss, and her tone grew even more desolate.

"After returning to America, just submit your resignation to HR," he said.

Just as Su Yan’s emotions had somewhat stabilized, they were again disturbed, yet she endured the heartache, "Alright—" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"What resignation? What going back to America?"

The voice was exceptionally familiar and sounded especially clear inside and outside the tense atmosphere of the second-floor study.

Su Yan’s heart skipped a beat, as if her parched, cracked heartland suddenly received a downpour, kindling a glimmer of hope.

The old patriarch has arrived?

Huo Zhenyang was also somewhat surprised. He stood up, walked around the desk, and at that moment, footsteps entered from outside the study.

Hui sister-in-law and Butler Ou ushered in Huo Tianpei, followed by a personal bodyguard dressed in a black suit.

Huo Tianpei clutched a rosewood cane, draped in a trench coat, clearly fatigued from the just-ended flight and the time difference, but his eyes were alight with alertness as he looked in.

Four years ago, Huo Tianpei had gone to America and had not returned since then. Due to poor health, he’d stayed in the Huo Mansion in LA without going anywhere else. This was his first plane trip in four years.

Seeing the tired, greyish hue on the old man’s face, Huo Zhenyang glared impatiently at Butler Ou: "The Boss’s health isn’t good, why didn’t you persuade him? And let him come all the way here from America by plane?"

Butler Ou gave a bitter smile. If only he could have stopped him—would the Boss ever listen to him?

"I wanted to come," Huo Tianpei interjected. With a new grandson and the kidnapping incident, this matter wasn’t trivial. How could he not return personally?

Originally, he intended to send Su Yan ahead to take a look for him, but after some thought, he couldn’t sit still at home and followed soon after.

Seeing this, Su Yan hurried to help the patriarch sit down on the study’s sofa and then instructed, "Hui sister-in-law, please make a bowl of American ginseng tea in the kitchen to refresh the Boss."

Having frequently visited the Huo Mansion over the years, she was acutely aware of the Boss’s health and whispered, "Why has the Boss suddenly returned to China? Did you bring your medication?"

Huo Tianpei slammed his cane down hard on the floor, visibly displeased: "The question I just asked, are you all collectively ignoring it and not planning to answer me?"

Only then did Huo Zhenyang speak indifferently, simply stating, "Su Yan has handed in her resignation, and I’ve approved it."

Huo Tianpei looked at Su Yan, understanding the reason behind her resignation. At the airport in America, she’d previously informed him. He paused, then turned to his son: "And you just agreed like that?"

"What else?" Huo Zhenyang responded indifferently, with a slight sneer, "I’ve always been very democratic, and I respect the wishes of my subordinates."

Democratic? Since when did his son have anything to do with democracy? Whether it was this or anything else, he was always autocratic—when did he start playing at democracy?

Huo Tianpei sighed, "You must have forced Su Yan to resign."

Su Yan quickly said, "No, Boss, it was my own decision."

Huo Tianpei gestured for her not to speak and stared directly at his son, "Back when Su Yan didn’t expose your relationship with Jiayi, it was purely because I’d already told her—I thought Jiayi was married, so I told her not to mention Jiayi’s name and person in front of you. As soon as she returned to China and suddenly saw you with Jiayi, she strictly followed my orders, too afraid to say more. If this bothers you so much, you can only blame me. Also, I know about Yan Bin’s threatening phone call to you, which she answered but didn’t tell you. There was indeed an error on Su Yan’s part in that affair, but it doesn’t deserve death. At that time, you’d just had a hematoma microsurgery in the hospital. Yan Bin is your political rival here in China, and she was just fulfilling her duty as a secretary. Fortunately, now Jiayi and her child are safe. How much further do you intend to push this matter? Do you really need to drive someone to their destruction before you are satisfied? Haven’t you seen how Su Yan has slaved away for the Huo Family in America these past years—"
