She was busy with one call on speaker and another phone on the table. She answered, “Yup.”

“Zhaoyang, let us go to the movies tonight. It’s a blockbuster!” Lin Yazhi said excitedly.

“So there is your idol again, eh?”

Lu Zhaoyang pinched her glabella. With the Starlight Quintet incident still fresh in her mind, she was reluctant to go out with Lin Yazhi again.

Now, without Huo Yunting around to save her, she figured she had better avoid Lin Yazhi like a plague for safety’s sake.

“You know me. It has been a long week. Let’s go to unwind a bit together!” Lin Yazhi chuckled.

“I don’t know if I can make it. Let’s keep in touch.”

She could not reject Lin Yazhi outright, so the delay tactic.

Huo Li walked past the secretary’s office and overheard what Lin Yazhi said. He headed to Huo Yunting’s office.

“Hey, brother!”

“What the heck?” Pissed, Huo Yunting shot him a look. “I am in the middle of a game.”

“Is playing the game more fun than your wife?”

“You must have a death wish, do you?”

Piqued, Huo Yunting flung the wireless mouse at Hou Li.

Huo Li caught the mouse with a smile and placed it back to its original position nicely. “I just heard Yazi calling your wife, asking her to go for a movie tonight. Brother, if you can’t see her directly, you can still have a chance encounter with her!” Yazi was a play on Lin Yazhi’s first name, which sounded like a duck in Mandarin.

“Who told you that I can’t go to see her?” A gray FAIL word flashed on the monitor before his eyes. Huo Yunting squinted. He glanced at Huo Li sideways. “What else did they talk about?”

“Just about some Hollywood blockbuster and stuff like that... Err, nothing else.”

Huo Li realized that he had made a Freudian slip.

A master investigator like Huo Li would not have possibly obtained so little information and came to him.

“Brother, you look at your best today, absolutely handsome. I’d better go now!”

After brownnosing Huo Yunting, he dashed out and went straight to the secretary’s office.

“Yazi!”

Peeved, Lin Yazhi pouted. This jerk was foul-mouthed as ever.

“Well, what an honor to have Assistant Huo coming into my office. What can I do for you?” she said with a plastic smile.

Huo Li leaned on her desk with one hand and swiped his hair with another. “Do you have any good movies to recommend? You are an expert in this. I am planning to date a girl. Tell me about it. The next time you graze the melon seeds, I will close my eyes to it. How about that?”

“For the safety of us, female, I am afraid that I cannot help.” Lin Yazhi replied perfunctorily.

Huo Li was irate. But seeing the exultant Lin Yazhi, he quickly told himself that he must not let the woman think that he had lost.

“That is fine, I will figure it out myself. All theaters are pitch dark inside anyway. Never mind about the movie, what I can do in there is most important. Yazi, thank you for giving me the idea!”

Huo Li then pretended to walk out.

“Wait a minute! Assistant Huo, how could you do that in a theater?”

In her mind, Lin Yazhi had cursed him a thousand times over, but she still smiled like a flower as she took out her mobile phone.

She would have ignored him had it not been for her not wanting to connive with him in ruining other girls.

“Here you go. This is a pretty good movie!”

Huo Li had sharp eyes. He saw not only the name of the theater but also the time and seating.
