The chairman’s office was huge, consisting of two rooms.

The two special a.s.sistants Su Tang and Tan Ying worked in the external part of the office. They submitted all of the doc.u.ments to Li Lei, as well as answered his phone calls. Today, Tan Ying was out for work, and only Su Tang was present.

Su Tang picked up a call and coldly said, “Ye Xingling? Say that Boss won’t see her.”

After that, she hung up the phone with a beautiful and long jade-like hand, her eyebrows gently arched. Why did Ye Xingling come at this time? Recently, Li Lei defeated Imperial for her. She did not come this time to plead for Imperial, right?

If Ye Xingling were really here to plead… she did not care.

Su Tang was deep in thought. The more she sided with Imperial, the more she pushed Li Lei out, and the chances of her getting back together with Li Lei would be smaller. However, what if she did not come to ask for a favor? As the outside world said, perhaps Ye Xingling was a social climber, had loose morals, and would follow any powerful man?

What should she do if she came here seeking refuge with Li Lei?

Su Tang did not know about the oath. She also did not know that Li Lei was only able to crush Imperial because of Preceptor Xia’s help. She genuinely thought that Li Lei attacked Imperial out of anger and happened to be lucky.

The internal phone range again.

Su Tang picked it up, but it was still the young girl at the front desk. “Special a.s.sistant Su, Miss Ye refuses to go. She said that I definitely did not inform Boss and that it was impossible that Boss would refuse to see her.”

Su Tang was somewhat impatient. “Boss is busy dealing with business. Can she afford to waste his time?”

The girl at the front desk stammered. “How about you inform him again…”

In the office, there were already speculations that special a.s.sistant Su was secretly in love with Boss. However, Su Tang was always restrained and elegant and concealed her emotions very well. Thus, no one could tell for sure. Unfortunately for the front desk girl, there was an impa.s.se between Big Boss’ rumored girlfriend A and rumored girlfriend B.

She still did not want to be fired!

However, Su Tang hung up the phone again. The front desk girl looked at Xia Ling with a troubled expression. “Miss Ye, Boss still doesn’t want to see you. How about you leave first?”

Xia Ling felt that something was wrong. “Just now, you called Su Tang and not Li Lei?”

“I’m not qualified to contact Boss.” The front desk girl weakly said. “All of the internal calls are answered by special a.s.sistant Su.” She really hoped that Miss Ye would be able to distinguish between the truth and falsehood. If Miss Ye were really with Big Boss, she might ask Big Boss not to fire her.

Xia Ling did not know about the secretive thoughts of the front desk girl. She lightly lowered her head and remembered that Su Tang did not like her very much. Was she the one creating difficulties for her? She said to the front desk girl, “Can I borrow the phone?”

The front desk girl handed the phone to her.

Xia Ling took it. Based on her memory, she directly called Li Lei’s phone.

Li Lei was currently revising the operational plan and talking to the general manager of the Strategic Investment Department about a crucial point. When the phone rang, he glanced at it. After seeing that it was a foreign number, he did not pick it up.

Xia Ling waited for a while, but no one answered.

She refused to give up and called again. This time, Li Lei directly rejected the call.

“Aren’t you going to answer the call?” The general manager of the Strategic Investment Department asked. “There are two consecutive calls. Maybe there is something urgent.”

Li Lei dismissed it and said, “It’s probably an advertis.e.m.e.nt.” He saved all the contacts of close friends and family members on his phone, so if they called, it would not be a foreign number. Besides, if it was really urgent, they could find the company’s landline and directly transfer the call to him from there.

“This investment plan is very urgent. Let’s talk first.” As he spoke, Li Lei pointed his finger at a place on the proposal. “If I were Pei Ziheng, I would fight back from here…”

Both of them started talking seriously again.

The front desk looked at Xia Ling as she made the call. The surrounding people also glanced at her. Skyart Entertainment was a place with people who liked to gossip. Xia Ling only needed to stand at the front desk for a minutes before news spread throughout the company that she was carrying a suitcase and looking for Li Lei. Was it because she had left the crumbling Pei Family to seek refuge with Big Boss Li?

The nosy crowd started to use every excuse they had to walk past the front desk.

“The call didn’t get through?” The front desk girl asked Xia Ling. She was a little skeptical of the news now. Why didn’t Boss answer the call if Miss Ye called him just now? Was their relations.h.i.+p as close as rumored, or was it just Miss Ye’s wishful thinking?

This girl was speculating so much that she forgot that her phone number was foreign.

Xia Ling came back to reality and handed the phone back to the front desk girl. “Thank you.”

After thinking about it, she asked, “Can you help me contact Sister Mai Na?”

“Sister Mai Na?” The front desk girl checked the internal line. “Please wait.” She dialed Sister Mai Na’s number. After a while, she told Xia Ling, “I’m really sorry Miss Ye. Sister Mai Na is not in the office.”

Xia Ling sighed. “What about Wei Shaoyin? Is Wei Shaoyin here?”

The front desk girl lowered her head and attentively did a check.

This time, there was pleasant news. “Mr. Wei is in recording studio B. He said he’s busy now, so he can’t come down to greet you. He told me to give you a visitor’s card so you can go straight to the main building.”

When Wei Shaoyin was busy, he would become testy and unreasonable. In this case, she was lucky that he remembered to ask someone to give her a visitor’s card. Xia Ling knew that she could not ask for too much.

Thus, she smiled at the front desk girl. “Thank you.” For today’s sake, she could only visit Wei Shaoyin for a while before meeting with Li Lei.

The young girl at the front desk was not able to determine her relations.h.i.+p with Boss, but since the company’s chief music producer did not object to her being there and even wanted her to have a visitor’s pa.s.s, the rumors must be real. As someone familiar with the important people of the company, she deeply understood that with Wei Shaoyin’s explosive personality, he would not meet any guests now unless it was extremely important.

She gave Xia Ling two visitor pa.s.ses. “The silver one is for Block B. The visitor pa.s.s for Block B and Block A is not connected, so you have to take a detour. If you take the visitor pa.s.s for Block A, things will be different because you can go straight through this path on the side of the road.” She guessed that Wei Shaoyin was a busy person and did not remember that the visitor pa.s.ses were not universal. Considering that the relations.h.i.+p between Xia Ling and Boss was still a mystery, she could only give Xia Ling a silver pa.s.s for the sake of preserving her job.

Xia Ling acknowledged her efforts. She took the two visitor pa.s.ses and thanked her readily.

Just as she was about to use her pa.s.s, suddenly, she heard a cool, jade-like sound—

“Who gave her the visitor’s pa.s.s for Block A?”
