Li Yu’s eyes flashed with a cold light. It was Zhang Nuannuan’s usual trick to use her identity to suppress others.

He said sarcastically, “What? Did I break any laws? Or did my Li Group break them? To think I actually alerted the police station’s Deputy Chief.”

The assistant looked troubled. He knew Zhang Nuannuan and what she had done to Li Yu.

He didn’t have a good impression of her but she was the police Deputy Director’s niece. It was fine if he didn’t give face to others, but he had to give face to the Deputy Director.

The assistant said, “CEO Li, that’s what Miss Zhang said at the front desk. She said that the front desk has no right to ask about the details, so she called me. You…”

“Then let her wait downstairs,” Li Yu said after a moment of silence.

“Is that okay?” the assistant asked.

“What’s not okay about it?” He said lightly. “If Deputy Director Zhang asks me for work, I’ll send someone in uniform over. Do you understand now?”

“Yes,” the assistant immediately nodded. “I’ll have the front desk pass on the reply.”

At the front desk of the Li Corporation.

The receptionist received a call from her assistant. She looked at Zhang Nuannuan and said, “Miss Zhang, CEO Li is very busy now. You can wait in the rest area.”

Zhang Nuannuan was shocked. Li Yu didn’t let her go up?

“Can’t I go up and wait?” she asked. “There’s a lounge upstairs too.”

“I’m sorry, Miss Zhang,” the receptionist said with a professional smile. “But CEO Li told you to wait here.”

Zhang Nuannuan looked at the front desk unhappily. This time, she came to Li Yu just to reconcile.

If she were to be willful now, it would probably be difficult to deal with the aftermath.

She looked at her watch. It was past 10 o’clock, so they could have lunch together later. Thinking of this, she said, “Alright.”

The receptionist smiled and gestured to her, asking, “This way, Miss Zhang. Would you like a drink or coffee?”

Zhang Nuannuan thought that she would be able to have lunch with Li Yu soon, so it wouldn’t be good to drink too much water. She shook her head and said, “No need. I’ll go there myself.”

After saying that, she went to rest.

Zhang Nuannuan was alone as she patiently flipped through the magazine.

About three hours later, she couldn’t sit still anymore. She walked to the front desk and noticed that even the receptionist had also changed.

She asked, “Hello, may I know when I can meet CEO Li?”

The receptionist immediately revealed a professional smile. She asked, “What’s your name, Miss? Do you want to make an appointment?”

“My surname is Zhang,” Zhang Nuannuan said with some dissatisfaction. “I’ve been waiting for almost three hours in the resting area, and you’re still asking me if I want to make an appointment? Isn’t that too much?”

The receptionist immediately searched the registration book and revealed a surprised expression.

She replied, “We’re very sorry, Miss Zhang. We thought you already left.”

“I haven’t seen him yet, so how can I leave?” Zhang Nuannuan frowned.

The receptionist replied, “Miss Zhang, it’s been a long time. You didn’t inform me when I took over the shift, so we mistakenly thought you had left,”.

“Are you trying to find an excuse for your mistake?” Zhang Nuannuan said with a serious expression. “Just now, I was asked to wait in the resting area and cooperated, but this is how you guys handled it?”

The receptionist said, “We’re very sorry. Because of our mistake, we delayed your time. However, I’m afraid our CEO Li doesn’t have any time right now. If it’s possible, please come over in the afternoon.”

Hearing this, Zhang Nuannuan almost lost her temper.

She said coldly, “I’ve been waiting for almost three hours, and you’re telling me to come in the afternoon? Or did I hear wrongly?”

The receptionist replied professionally, “You don’t have an appointment, so CEO Li must be the one who made the appointment first,”

Zhang Nuannuan’s face darkened. Just because she didn’t have an appointment? Was that why they treated her differently?

“Then, is CEO Li still in the office?” she asked.

“I’m not sure, but I can make a call to ask for you,” said the receptionist.

“Then hurry up!” she said impatiently.

The receptionist picked up the phone and dialed the number. Soon, Li Yu’s assistant’s voice came through.

[Phone message: I’m not here anymore. Leave a message if you have something to say.]

The receptionist hung up the phone and looked at Zhang Nuannuan. She said, “Miss Zhang, I’m very sorry. CEO Li’s assistant is not in the office. Looking at the time, CEO Li might not be in his office either.”

Zhang Nuannuan asked with a dark expression, “Where does CEO Li usually go to eat?”

The receptionist replied, “My apologies, we don’t know either,”

“When will he return to the company?” she asked after taking a deep breath..
