Rong Yan’s ears weren’t deaf; just because they spoke quietly didn’t an others couldn’t hear.
Realizing she had been scorned, she didn’t ask the receptionist to contact anyone for her again but walked calmly to the nearby rest area.
Forget it, once she found a place to put down the things in her hands, she would send a ssage to Li Shengxiao to let him know she was waiting for him outside.
As she walked away without a word, to the disdainful receptionist who looked down on Rong Yan, her departure seed to be an act of ‘having so self-awareness.’ The beautiful receptionist snorted coldly and rolled her eyes in the direction Rong Yan was heading.
“Nowadays, any sort of woman dares to co to our company. In the past, the lowest we’d get were popular celebrities, and now any pretty face thinks they can just show up.”
Li International had over a hundred subsidiaries, encompassing various fields such as finance, real estate, the entertainnt industry, technology, and more, forming a vast business empire.
As the man behind the ga-business empire, countless won threw themselves at him every day. What use was it just to be pretty? She was also pretty, and yet she was still just a receptionist!
On the 88th floor, outside the CEO’s office.
Everyone held their breath and cautiously tried to diminish their presence. The air itself seed to solidify as soon as Shen Siyuan walked in, instantly feeling the oppressive atmosphere.
“What happened?” she deftly asked Li Shengxiao’s secretary.
The secretary turned around, saw her, and respectfully greeted her with ‘Miss
Shen,’ followed by a helpless expression, “Mr. Li is in a bad mood, Miss Shen.
Perhaps you should co back another day.”
“What’s wrong with him?” Shen Siyuan asked, full of confusion.
Why would he be in a bad mood out of the blue? Could it be a setback at work?
That seed unlikely.
Ever since she had known this man, she had never seen anything that could stump him. Work for him was as natural as breathing, an innate ability he possessed from birth.
The secretary didn’t know the specifics either and shook his head, “I’m not clear about Mr. Li’s matters.”
He reluctantly told Shen Siyuan, “Anyway, I’m afraid you’ll have to co back
another ti.”
Given the terribly scary expression on Mr. Li’s face just now, he dared not go in to relay a ssage from Shen Siyuan. Didn’t he see that everyone in the secretarial pool was shrinking their necks, tiptoeing around to stay unnoticed?
Aware that the secretary wouldn’t dare go in when Li Shengxiao was in a bad mood, Shen Siyuan, albeit a bit disappointed, replied agreeably, “Alright, I’ll co back another ti.”
The secretary breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, “Thank you, Miss Shen.”
He was worried Shen Siyuan would insist, forcing him to go in and speak with the people inside, which would be like signing his own death warrant.
Since Shen Siyuan was so considerate, he returned the favor, “Next ti you want to co, Miss Shen, you can call in advance and I’ll check Mr. Li’s schedule for you.”
Shen Siyuan, with sparkling and benevolent eyes, was very easy to talk to. She smiled and said, “Thank you, Assistant Gu.”
“Miss Shen, you’re too polite. Let escort you out,” Gu Ming offered gentlemanly, extending his hand and leading her away from the CEO’s office.
Throughout the way, Shen Siyuan kept asking him about Li Shengxiao, and he replied vaguely until he finally got Shen Siyuan into the car. He watched as the blue Rolls Royce drove away, then went back to the CEO’s office.
Seeing that the atmosphere outside was still tense, he quietly asked soone nearby, “Has Mr. Li not called to schedule the next eting yet?” The person next to him shook their head and whispered, “No.”
“Assistant, what do we do now? Should we prepare the docunts for the eting, or should we tell the board mbers that the eting is canceled?”
