Huo Yao followed Liu Qian back to his office.
Liu Qian put the manila envelope on the table and touched its corner. The sadness on his face had disappeared by the time he raised his head again.
He looked at Huo Yao and said somewhat apologetically, "I am sorry for getting you into this mess. I didn't expect you to almost get punished for these research archives."
"We were innocent, and nothing is going to change that, so don't take it to heart."
Liu Qian smiled sadly.
She was right, but what if someone insisted on maligning them?
Liu Qian knew Qi Hui was taking the opportunity to humiliate him so that Qi Hui could get back at him for arguing with him about the research funds. Now, Huo Yao was probably involved because of Jiang Mingyue.
After all, Jiang Mingyue wanted to cause trouble for Huo Yao but ended up getting slapped in the face.
It was normal for Jiang Mingyue to hold a vendetta against Huo Yao.
