Chapter 499: Why Are You Here?

On the day of the Huo Corporation’s 40th-anniversary celebration, Su Yayan especially gave the employees of the restaurant a day off. She went to work early in the morning in East City and prepared to go over after lunch.
The anniversary celebration started at 2:30 pm. It would take some time to get to the Huo Corporation from East City, so it was almost time to go over after lunch.
However, to Su Yayan’s surprise, it was not Huo Chenhuan who came to pick her up, but Gu Shaoyang.
“Where’s Chenhuan?”
Gu Shaoyang turned to look at her, his face full of smiles. “Young Master just happened to have a guest visiting before he left. He might be a bit late, so he asked me to come to pick you up first. We’ll meet at the venue later.”
“Guest? What guest?” Today was an important day, and Su Yayan’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that there was a guest.
Why did he have to come to their house today? Was he trying to stall for time?
“It’s an old friend of the old master. He watched the young master grow up. He might be attending with the Young Master later. Please wait patiently for Young Master to come and find you. Don’t worry.”
“Oh.” Su Yayan frowned. Although she found it strange, she didn’t probe further. She nodded and accepted his explanation.
Su Yayan had set off early, so there were still ten minutes before the start of the event. However, most of the employees of the Huo Corporation were already there, waiting for the higher-ups and their business partners.
Su Yayan had just gotten out of the car when she sensed the gazes from all directions.
Strictly speaking, even though she wasn’t a high-ranking official in the Huo Corporation, she had made a few appearances because of a few artists in the company, so her fame was actually higher than a normal B- or C-list celebrity.
Her appearance surprised many people in the Huo Corporation.
“Isn’t that President Su from East City? Why is she here as well? We only invited some important clients from our company for today’s celebration, right? Has our company ever worked with East City before?”
“What collaboration? Have you forgotten who she is? She’s President Huo’s sister-in-law now, the aunt of Huo Shaofeng. Isn’t it normal for her to attend the Huo Corporation’s anniversary celebration?”
“I heard that even though President Huo has a place in the company’s board of directors, he has never attended any of the company’s anniversary celebrations or shareholders’ meetings. I wonder if he will show up today. Or should I just let President Su take his place?”
“He’s never been there? I heard that President Huo’s legs are disabled. Is that true? Have any of you seen him before?”
“No, I’ve been working at the company for the past few years, but I’ve never seen President Huo before. Apparently, he rarely goes out after his legs are disabled, and our company hasn’t even visited once.”
“So it’s true, his legs…”
A group of people gathered and whispered among themselves. They were discussing why Su Yayan was here and whether Huo Chenhuan would appear later.
Although Su Yayan could not hear what they were talking about, she knew what they were curious about and did not pay much attention to it.
Even though she did not know why Huo Chenhuan had called her here today, she could imagine what kind of chaos would happen if Huo Chenhuan, who had not stepped foot into the Huo Corporation for so many years and interfered with any of its decisions, appeared here today.
Su Yayan glanced at the time. In less than five minutes, the higher-ups of the Huo Corporation were starting to arrive. She wondered if Huo Chenhuan could make it in time.
“Why are you here?”
