"Appointnt?" Song Song was montarily dumbfounded, "Do you need an appointnt just to see your CEO?"
The receptionist smiled slightly, "That’s necessary, because there are simply too many people who want to see our CEO. If we let just anyone through, that wouldn’t work."
"Oh, I see!" Song Song’s face showed a hint of embarrassnt, "But I... I didn’t make an appointnt, does that an I can’t see your CEO today?"
"Uh... without an appointnt, definitely not." The receptionist replied with a hint of apology, "Plus, our CEO has etings all day today, so you’d best head back!"
Song Song clenched her small fists slightly, glancing at the elevators, "Can I wait here? Don’t worry, I won’t make it difficult for you, I’ll just sit here and wait, is that okay?"
"But, it will really take a long ti, and waiting here is pointless. Even if the CEO finishes the eting early, without an appointnt, he won’t see you."
Song Song smiled, her innocent face full of determination, "That’s okay, you don’t have to worry about , go ahead with your work!"
"Alright." The receptionist bowed slightly and said, "The lounge is right there, and there’s drinking water inside."
"Mm, mm, mm..."
Song Song felt that it truly was a big company, as even the receptionists were very polite young ladies, unlike so companies where people are judged based on appearances.
After sitting in the lounge for a while, soone walked in from the company’s main entrance, and that person happened to glance and notice Song Song sitting in the lounge, a flash of interest appeared in his eyes.
He walked over to inquire at the reception desk, "Who is that young lady?"
The receptionist replied respectfully, "Hello Director Xu, she’s here to see the CEO."
"Oh... so she’s waiting for the CEO." Xu Lang’s lips curled slightly, giving the receptionist a charming smile, "Thanks."
After speaking, Xu Lang stepped towards the lounge, and when he reached the entrance, he knocked gentlemanly, "May I co in?"
Song Song was startled, quickly stood up from the chair, looking a bit uneasy and said awkwardly, "Of course you can."
She didn’t expect to run into Lin Man’s boyfriend here; what was he doing here?
With a smile, Xu Lang pushed the door open and directly said, "I’ve seen you before; there was once when you and Lin Man got drunk together, and President Xiao called to pick up Lin Man."
"...Drunk?" Song Song’s little mind began to churn, "Oh, yes, that did happen."
So that’s what happened, she was wondering why Xiao Jinghuai didn’t send Lin Man ho that ti, but Xu Lang did; now it all made sense.
Xu Lang reached out to introduce himself earnestly, "Hello, I’m Xu Lang, the Artistic Director at Xiao Family. Nice to et you."
So he works at Xiao Family; no wonder he knows Xiao Jinghuai.
Song Song wasn’t accustod to interacting with males, but out of politeness, she extended her hand and gently shook his, "Hello, I’m Song Song, Lin Man’s colleague."
"So you’re Lin Man’s colleague, no wonder I saw you with her that ti."
Xu Lang then asked, "So Teacher Song, are you here today for business or personal matters with President Xiao?"
"...It’s business, but sort of personal too!" Song Song couldn’t quite categorize the matter concerning Xiao Beibei, "Because President Xiao wants his child to transfer schools, that’s why I’m here to discuss it with him."
Xu Lang’s eyes flashed with mischief, "So you’re Xiao Beibei’s class teacher?"
"Yes, indeed."
"Oh, then Teacher Song, you stay here, I have other work to attend to." Xu Lang said seriously, "Let’s get together another ti, with Lin Man, and I’ll treat you both to a al. For now, I have to get busy."
Song Song really wasn’t good at socializing, so she just smiled and bowed, "Alright, you go ahead, go ahead."
After people left the lounge, she felt a bit overwheld with nervousness, got up to pour a glass of water, and gulped down a few mouthfuls to slowly calm her nerves.
She truly isn’t suited to interact with strangers!
anwhile, Xu Lang went to a secluded place and called Su ngni, "ngni, I found out who that woman is, turns out she’s Xiao Beibei’s class teacher. So she’s just another woman trying to connect with the father through the son, huh! She won’t achieve much."
"Tell Qiao Yu to take his ti and co back when he’s done having fun..."
...
As Song Song waited till the sunset, she couldn’t sit still and wanted to call Xing Quan, but thinking of how busy Xiao Jinghuai was, his capable subordinate was surely also swamped.
Thinking it over, she decided to just wait, she had ti anyway, she could wait it out!
Maybe she should take a nap first? Yes, that’s it, take a nap first and see, she hadn’t slept well recently.
After sleeping for four or five hours, when Song Song opened her eyes again, it was already pitch black outside. She rushed out of the lounge and ran to the reception desk, breathlessly asking, "Has your CEO finished the eting?"
"Yes, it’s done." The receptionist still maintained a formal tone, "But the CEO hasn’t left yet. If you wish to continue waiting, feel free. I’m off work now, bye-bye!"
Song Song awkwardly waved, "Bye... Bye..."
So what should she do now? Call Xing Quan?
Yes, now she should be able to call, since the eting was over, he shouldn’t be that busy!
Her small hand pulled out her phone from her down jacket pocket, found Xing Quan’s number, and pressed the call button...
...
At that mont, Xing Quan was making his final report to Xiao Jinghuai when his phone rang suddenly. With one hand holding the docunt and the other pulling out his phone, he paused upon seeing who was calling.
The man, previously buried in his work at the desk, looked up, his sharp eyes fixed on Xing Quan, "Girlfriend’s call? Answer it!"
"No... not a girlfriend’s call." Xing Quan stamred nervously, "It’s... it’s the madam’s call."
Xiao Jinghuai’s eyes flashed with a peculiar expression but soon returned to signing docunts nonchalantly, "Why is she calling you?"
"I think the madam is currently still at the company..."
anwhile, the ringing persisted, leaving Xing Quan unsure whether to answer or not, waiting for the master’s cue.
"Answer!"
"Yes..."
"Assistant Xing, you finally answered! That’s wonderful!"
The girl’s cheerful voice ca through, yet Xing Quan only felt cold sweat breaking out, "Madam, are you still at the company now?"
"Yes, I am! I’m in your company’s lobby, everyone’s gone! Are you still busy, or is it not hectic anymore?"
Xing Quan was just about to reply when the phone was suddenly snatched from his hand, the person’s expression ominous, as if angered abruptly.
He spoke into the phone, "You have three minutes to get to my office."
