"Okay, I was thinking the sa, but the receptionist just told Uncle Chen is busy..."
Xiao Yi had just arrived and naturally felt embarrassed about not eting Chen Jianguo. He quickly nodded and said.
"It’s okay, let’s go up now."
Liu Yuan smiled, didn’t say much as he knew Chen Jianguo was indeed busy. However, he was well aware that no matter how busy Chen Jianguo was, if Xiao Yi ca over, he would definitely see him imdiately, even if it ant interrupting a eting with the mayor of G City once he heard of Xiao Yi’s arrival.
Xiao Yi didn’t say anything either. He wasn’t a petty person. Plus, the receptionist hadn’t really made any mistakes, she was just rather inflexible and principled, so naturally, he wasn’t really going to make a fuss over the receptionist’s earlier behavior.
The two of them left the office, and Liu Yuan told the waiting group of people and then directly led Xiao Yi through the private elevator reserved for Chen Jianguo, heading straight to his office.
Seeing the two entering Chen Jianguo’s private elevator, everyone was once again surprised and murmured among themselves, and the receptionist’s face turned even paler.
Xiao Yi and Liu Yuan were naturally not concerned with all these. After entering the elevator and pressing the floor number, Liu Yuan suddenly rembered sothing and said with a slightly apologetic look, "Young Master Xiao, I’m really sorry. The task you gave last ti, I should have done it promptly, but these past few days have been really busy, I haven’t even been ho, so I haven’t taken your car over yet, so..."
"It’s alright, Uncle Liu. I’m not in a hurry. Whenever you’re free to handle it is fine,"
Xiao Yi quickly smiled and waved his hand, signaling to Liu Yuan that he didn’t need to worry too much about it.
He really wasn’t in a rush to use the car. If there wasn’t anything special, he seldom even used a car.
With Liu Yuan’s lead, eting Chen Jianguo was naturally no trouble at all. As Liu Yuan expected, Chen Jianguo was originally hosting a group of clients, discussing a deal, but as soon as he heard Xiao Yi had arrived, he imdiately paused the negotiations to et him. The two exchanged pleasantries, caring how each other had been recently, and Chen repeatedly urged him to rember to reach out if he ever needed help.
After the pleasantries, Mr. and Mrs. Wang Dawei were also invited by Liu Yuan to Chen Jianguo’s office to et Xiao Yi.
Upon seeing them, Xiao Yi almost thought he was mistaken as they looked completely changed in such a short ti, of course, not internally but externally.
Wang Dawei was fully suited up, his face exuding a calm that was quite reminiscent of Chen Jianguo’s driver. Only when praised by Xiao Yi and Chen Jianguo did a shy expression reappear in his eyes, hinting at his forr self. Chen was very pleased with Wang Dawei.
Li Xiaoi currently worked in the company’s housekeeping departnt. Chen Jianguo hadn’t actually set her up to be a cleaning lady but arranged a rather leisurely vice leader position for her. From what Liu Yuan said, although she hadn’t been there long, her interpersonal relationships within the departnt were quite good, mainly because she was very diligent, always eager to work, and friendly to others.
Li Xiaoi herself also assured Xiao Yi that she was doing very well and that he needn’t worry. Her eyes, looking at Xiao Yi, were filled with imnse gratitude, appreciative beyond asure.
In fact, her heart overflowed with gratitude towards Xiao Yi, feeling that it equated to a rebirth. Now, not only was her daily work relaxed and her inco high, but more importantly, her neighbors in the area, who knew they worked for Jianguo Group, were all very respectful to her. Even the most arrogant family in the neighborhood now greeted her warmly as Auntie Li daily, a level of cordiality she had never experienced before in her life.
She was extrely satisfied and grateful for her current situation.
Knowing that both were well settled at Jianguo Group and everything was on track, Xiao Yi was fully reassured. He tactfully declined the invitation from Chen Jianguo and Liu Yuan to stay for dinner and made his farewells.
Not to ntion that Fatty Tang was waiting for him to resolve his life’s big issue, even if he was free, he couldn’t dine with Liu Yuan and Chen Jianguo. He was neither blind nor foolish. He knew very well that the ti both carved out for him was already squeezed from their schedules. Chen might not ntion it, but Liu Yuan had been accompanying a large group, who were still waiting for him downstairs.
How could he delay their ti like that?
Both Liu Yuan and Chen Jianguo indeed had other commitnts and thus didn’t press much further. After a few words, Chen personally escorted Xiao Yi to the elevator and let Liu Yuan accompany him downstairs.
Liu Yuan personally escorted Xiao Yi to the entrance of Jianguo Square, and only after Xiao Yi persuaded him did he agree not to accompany him to the western restaurant where Fatty Tang was waiting, and returned to his clients instead.
"Ah, Old Tang, what do we do now?!"
"What can we do? Just deal with it. Under the current circumstances, we hardly have a chance."
"Ah... true, I really did not expect Gao Corporation to be involved in this bid with Jianguo Group."
"..."
Xiao Yi had just returned to the base of the western restaurant, ready to go upstairs, when suddenly, he overheard a conversation. His gaze instinctively followed the direction of the voices.
Hmm?
The man ahead looked sowhat familiar, as if he had seen him sowhere before?
After a quick glance, Xiao Yi paused, feeling the man looked sowhat familiar, yet he couldn’t recall where he had seen him.
Never mind, it might just be a resemblance.
After thinking for a mont and finding no recollection, Xiao Yi shook his head and turned away, heading upstairs on his own.
"Boss, you’re finally back!"
As soon as Xiao Yi entered the western restaurant, Fatty Tang stood up abruptly, his face lighting up with surprise. He had just received a ssage from his parents saying they were almost there. Worried, he was holding his phone, wondering if he should call to check if Xiao Yi had returned. But to his relief, Xiao Yi arrived just in ti.
Without Xiao Yi, he truly didn’t know how to face his parents, as they were becoming rather unreasonable about the situation with Li Ling.
