"Good day, Sir. This floor is the core administrative area, and you cannot enter at will. Do you have an appointnt?" The president’s secretary, who was in charge of reception, said this very politely, looking at Qin Zhenyi as if he were a stranger, but in fact, they had been notified the mont Qin Zhenyi had entered Splendid. One should know that the nurous surveillance devices of Splendid Entertainnt were not installed for nothing.
Senior Assistant Kang had also issued an order for everything to be strictly procedural, expressly prohibiting anyone from breaking in casually, or else the year-end bonus for everyone would be canceled. Consequently, the secretaries were on high alert, blocking the entrance layer by layer. Upon seeing Qin Zhenyi approach, they imdiately stopped him.
Qin Zhenyi’s assistant stepped forward imdiately and said, "Please inform President Su that Mr. Qin Zhenyi has arrived. President Su should be willing to et."
The little secretary understood very well. Although these words sounded polite, they actually inford her of a fact: these two did not have an appointnt.
"Alright, I will notify my superiors of this matter. Please take a seat, gentlen. Xiao Li, serve these gentlen so tea!" Whether President Su ets with them or not is President Su’s decision; her job is only to relay the ssage.
The secretary dialed Assistant Kang without avoiding Qin Zhenyi, using the desk phone at the reception.
"Assistant Kang, two gentlen wish to see President Su, one of them being Mr. Qin Zhenyi. They are waiting here with ," relayed the little secretary truthfully, without asking whether President Su would et them, as Assistant Kang would directly inform her of that.
"Then please ask the two gentlen to rest for a while. President Su is in a eting. As soon as the eting ends, I will report to President Su," Kang Zhong’s voice transmitted through the phone. His voice was so loud that even Qin Zhenyi, who was standing nearby, could hear it clearly. His complexion imdiately soured.
"Certainly, I will let the guests know," the secretary said politely as she hung up the phone and then repeated Kang Zhong’s words to Qin Zhenyi. She added, "If you are busy, perhaps it would be better to schedule another eting. President Su’s etings often last two or three hours. However, if you are not in a hurry, please enjoy so tea. Our Longjing tea is quite excellent."
No matter how good the Longjing tea here might be, it could never compare to the Qin family’s tea leaves. Qin Zhenyi, who was already in a bad mood, felt further irked as he looked at the polite secretary, but perhaps it was his own perspective that made him feel as if she was mocking him!
But even with his frustration boiling inside, Qin Zhenyi could not possibly stoop so low as to argue with a junior secretary; it would be too deaning. He simply nodded stiffly and decided to wait.
And that wait turned out to be over two hours. During that ti, Qin Zhenyi had his assistant inquire thrice, each ti receiving the sa reply: President Su was still in a eting, please wait.
Qin Zhenyi had never been subjected to such treatnt before—not even when he visited his elder brother in his office had his brother dared do such a thing! And as lunchti was drawing close, he refused to believe that these people were really still in a eting. If not for the last bit of rationality holding him back, he would have marched straight into the office!
After waiting for more than two hours, Qin Zhenyi finally lost all patience and took out his phone to call Su Yanyi directly.
Of course, Su Yanyi was not in a eting; she had been in her office handling paperwork. But since she did not care for Qin Zhenyi, she simply let him wait. When her phone rang, Su Yanyi glanced at it and pressed the mute button. She did not answer, nor did she hang up, pretending as if she had not heard it.
