Translator: 549690339
She was thinking about Rong Yan, but Rong Yan hadn’t spared a thought for her!
After sending the video and updating her own Weibo, she stood up and said to Lin Xinbei and Gu Linxi, “You guys continue to sit for a while, I have something to do and won’t be joining you for dinner tonight.”
“You’re running off again!”
Lin Xinbei couldn’t grab her in time as Rong Yan hurried off to make her purchase. She waved at him as she hailed a taxi and made a swift getaway.
“Damn!”
Lin Xinbei stomped his foot in frustration, gnashing his teeth with the urge to chase after her in his car. However, Gu Linxi managed to persuade him, “Let it be, Yan must have something else going on. You can have dinner with me tonight.’
She has nothing going on if he hadn’t guessed wrong; she must be going to see Li Shengxiao again!
Despite his irritation, with Gu Linxi’s persuasion, Lin Xinbei sat back down and continued to enjoy their afternoon tea.
In the car. “Driver, to Li International.”
“Alright.’
The driver started the meter, and the car headed towards Li International.
Rong Yan got out at a spot near the majestic structure and after a moment’s thought, bought some things locally before heading to Li International.
HuanYu and Huashuo Building were already magnificent skyscrapers but next to the ostentatious Li International, they seemed like child’s play.
Rong Yan walked into the glittering building. As soon as she reached the reception, she was stopped by the front desk.
“Hello, may I ask who you are?” Before the receptionist had asked, she had already scanned Rong Yan from head to toe. Noticing the absence of luxury brand attire on Rong Yan and the takeout box she was holding, her smile noticeably faded.
Darn, how could she have forgotten to message Li Shengxiao about her visit.
With her hands full and a lingering pain in her injured left shoulder, Rong Yan found it inconvenient to grab her phone. She could only tell the reception, “I’m here to see someone.”
The receptionist’s smile faded, but she still asked politely, “May I know who you are here to see? We can contact them for you.”
“Oh…” Rong Yan thought for a moment and said, “I’m looking for Li Shengxiao. Could you please call the president’s office for me?” To see Mr. Li?!
And asking them to call the president’s office?!
The receptionists quickly looked at her, their expressions becoming unfriendly. It was as if she was some woman trying to throw herself at someone, and their attitude became much less amiable, “Do you have an appointment?”
“Uh, do I need an appointment?” Rong Yan was visibly confused; she seemed to have forgotten about that. Now what?
It wasn’t really her fault for forgetting; she had always met this man in settings like home—private places. She had never experienced the entourage of the most powerful man in Capital City, so she had not fully grasped the magnitude of his status. When the receptionist asked her so matter-of-factly, she suddenly realized she may have been too casual in her interactions with him. People like Li Shengxiao, it seemed, really were the sort who couldn’t be seen without an appointment!
The receptionist thought she was joking, “Of course, you need an appointment to see Mr. Li. Mr. Li’s daily schedule is arranged in advance. Without an appointment, Mr. Li might not have time to see you!”
“Can’t you just call the president’s office for me? Just say Miss Rong is looking for him.” Rong Yan took a step back.
Without even considering, the receptionist refused directly, “I’m sorry, please don’t make it difficult for us. Like I said, unless you have an appointment with Mr. Li… without an appointment, it’s not possible!”
Her unapologetic tone was clearly because she had seen the takeout box Rong Yan was holding and had judged her to be a clingy, low-class woman..
