This beautiful woman in white, with hair almost reaching her thighs, walked into the first-floor lobby with small steps, immediately drawing everyone’s attention, making them forget what they were doing. The two reception ladies even stood up, greeting her attentively.
Not to mention men, even women like looking at beautiful women. If there are no flaws upon close inspection, the state of being mesmerized becomes uncontrollable.
Xiao Susu quickly looked up, seeing the two pretty ladies smiling at her. Her courage increased a bit, and she took out a business card from her pocket:
“Hello.” Feifan said the opening line should sound polite. “I… I’m from the ‘Bright Blind Children’s Orphanage’, here to meet Mr. Shi.” She handed over the business card with Shi Zhongcheng’s name.
“Oh, go directly to the 19th floor, would you like me to show you the way?” The reception lady had already lost her usual cautious demeanor. She didn’t even ask for the visitor’s name, nor did she call the secretary to confirm the appointment. Captivated by the beautiful woman, she was reluctant to say goodbye so soon and volunteered to guide her.
“Then… thank you, that’s very kind.” Xiao Susu sighed in relief, showing a shy and reserved smile. It turns out there are quite a few friendly strangers.
“No trouble, here, the elevator’s here.” Lady A was almost delirious. She loved seeing such beautiful women, so delicate, so beautiful, so pure, just like the ethereal female lead in a movie.
The first “courage-testing” task assigned by Du Feifan was initially not difficult. She breathed a huge sigh of relief, but seeing everyone staring at her made her shyness surge again, and she asked softly:
“Is there something on my face?”
“No, no, you’re so beautiful, even more beautiful than a movie star.”
“Uh… thank you.” Fortunately, being stared at by someone of the same gender wouldn’t make her too uncomfortable. If a man looked at her like that, she would definitely faint.
The 19th floor arrived quickly, and the overly enthusiastic receptionist led her towards the special assistant’s office. Huh? No one’s here.
“The special assistant is not at his desk, he must be in the CEO’s office. Come, let’s go to the 20th floor.”
“No need, I can wait here, he’s busy…”
“It’s okay.” Hehe! Holding the beautiful lady’s hand, so happy! So soft, so delicate…
Why are modern women so strong except for her? Or does she really look, as Feifan said, like someone who needs protection? Xiao Susu came back to her senses from her daze, already on the 20th floor. The receptionist holding her hand was reporting to the gatekeeper secretary:
“Secretary Ke, she has an appointment with Special Assistant Shi, from the Blind Children’s Orphanage. Special Assistant Shi is here, right?”
“Why didn’t you call ahead?” The cold-faced Secretary Ke couldn’t help but look at the delicate beauty a few more times, then reprimanded the receptionist’s rashness. Outsiders might think Tang Yuan Enterprise could be entered at will.
“Sorry!” The receptionist finally snapped out of her beauty-induced trance.
“Okay, you can go down. I’ll inform Special Assistant Shi.” The big shot inside is currently busy with Japanese matters and cannot be disturbed.
After the reluctant receptionist went downstairs, Xiao Susu was seated on the sofa, occasionally served coffee or tea. Others looked at her strangely, while she surveyed the well-equipped and luxurious senior management office, then observed the busy secretarial staff—they looked so smart and capable, walking fast, writing fast, typing even faster, switching between English and Japanese on phone calls with ease. How… envious of people living like this. Seemingly knowing what they want and fully grasping and striving for it, while she was without purpose, not knowing her use in this world.
If Feifan hadn’t suddenly appeared, she might have continued living a dead, silent life until her death.
Perhaps she could never become such a woman, but for the sake of learning, she must be a strong mother and stop wallowing in self-pity, hiding in her own world, unwilling to change.
“Oh God! Finally done! I just returned to the country yesterday, and I’m going to Shenzhen the day after tomorrow. Can you please handle such small crises yourself next time? I swear, before going abroad, I’ll do nothing but sleep for twenty-four hours!” The CEO’s office door suddenly opened, and the first person to walk out and stretch was Shi Zhongcheng, his eyes barely open.
Following behind were Tang Hua and Jiang Zhilan walking side by side. Tang Hua laughed: “Let’s go have afternoon tea together. I’ll let you rest. After finishing the Shenzhen matter, I’ll give you ten days of special leave.”
“Don’t even try, I don’t believe you’re that kind.”
Secretary Ke walked over quickly:
“Special Assistant Shi, do you have an appointment with someone from the orphanage? This lady has been waiting for twenty minutes.” He pointed to the white-clad beauty who was hastily standing up.
“Huh?” Shi Zhongcheng opened his almost-closed eyes in disbelief. Before he could push his superior, Tang also saw the person who could never have appeared here!
His ex-wife, Xiao Susu!
“Susu?” Walking quickly, Tang Hua’s tone still disbelieving. Could it be another woman with the same face? Similarly pale, similarly beautiful and shy, just less closed off from people?
“Ah!” It was this face! He was Tang Hua! The face she had been trying to piece together in her mind! What was going on? This was actually Tang Hua’s company? The excessive shock made her forget to react. Otherwise, she would have long lowered her head, not daring to look directly at this face that scared her.
