Chapter 29 - Ran Off and Left

Fu Xing has been standing at the side as he waited for the person to show up. A few candidates had shown up but the person his boss was waiting for had not appeared.

His fingers drummed against his thigh.

He was starting to suspect that the person would not show up.

However, Fu Xing soon started to worry about how his boss was going to react when the girl he was waiting for did not show up. Judging from the way he had acted these past few days, Fu Xing could guess that his boss would not be happy.

Just as he was starting to think of how he should break this news to his boss, the glass door was pushed open from the outside and a familiar face walked in.

Fu Xing did a double-take and his gaze stuck on the woman. He checked at the clock and chuckled, realizing that there were only five minutes left before the interview will begin.

As the woman walked to the receptionist's desk to register, Fu Xing pulled out his phone to inform President Long Fei that the woman had arrived.

However, before he could press the call button, Fu Xing realized that the woman's expression turned paler. A few seconds later, the woman ran off and left the building.

The hand that was holding the phone halted.

Fu Xing did not know what had happened to the woman that caused her to run away. His gaze shifted to the receptionist and he walked over.

"Assistant Fu." The two receptionists stood up to greet him.

Fu Xing glanced at the door before he looked at one of the receptionists. "The woman just now… If I'm not mistaken, she should be a candidate for an interview."

The short-haired receptionist nodded. "That's right. She came to attend the interview."

"Then, why did she suddenly run out?" Fu Xing glanced at his wristwatch. There isn't much time and he did not know whether she would be able to return on time.

The receptionists turned to look at each other. Then, the short-haired receptionist spoke again, "I don't know what happened, but I don't think that she would be joining the interview this time. Someone called her while she was waiting for us to verify her ID. Her face paled after picking up the phone. I think it should be an emergency. I heard that she mentioned the word, hospital."

Fu Xing looked at the receptionists and rapped his fingers on the table. After thanking the receptionists, he then turned around and headed to the elevator with a worried look on his face.

In just seconds, Fu Xing finally arrived at the president's floor. He walked out with a deep frown on his face as he was thinking of how he should be breaking the news to his boss.

After a brief hesitation, F Xing clicked on the door and entered.

When he walked in, President Long Fei's cousin, Long Yu Heng was already in the room. Judging from the look on their face, it seemed that they were discussing something important.

"What's wrong?" Long Fei raised a brow at his assistant. "Have the interview begin? What about Miss Su?"

"President Long. Miss Su showed up at our company five minutes before the interview began," Fu Xing said.

"There should be no problem with that. She's right on time."

Even if Su Ruan was five minutes late, Long Fei had already decided to let her pass. The only reason he planned this interview was for Su Ruan. He wanted to get close to her slowly like this.

"President Long, while registering her ID with the receptionist, someone called her and broke a news. The receptionist said that they overheard something about a hospital."

Long Fei's expression turned darker, scaring Fu Xing who came to deliver the news.

"Un. I know," Long Fei said. "You go out and continue to keep your eyes. If she comes back, just let her attend the interview. Don't make things difficult for her."

"Yes, President Long." With a nod, Fu Xing walked out of the room. A breath of relief escaped him as his boss had not made things difficult for him.

Once Fu Xing had left and closed the door behind him, Long Fei turned to look at his cousin again.

"Yu Heng, go and investigate this for me," Long Fei spoke. "She shouldn't have left for too long. Go and catch up with her. If she's in some sort of trouble, just help her secretly."

Long Yu Heng naturally knew how important Su Ruan is to Long Fei. After exchanging a few words, he then left the room.

Meanwhile, Su Ruan ran to catch up with the bus. Seeing that there were two minutes left before the next bus was going to arrive, Su Ruan decided to call her friend, Lin Qing first.

"Su Ruan?" Lin Qing's voice contained a hint of surprise as she picked up the phone. "What's wrong?"

It was a few minutes ago that they have talked. Lin Qing knew that Su Ruan was on her way to Blue Media Group to attend an interview. Su Ruan shouldn't be calling her at this time.

"Lin Qing, I'm heading back home to pack up," Su Ruan spoke quickly. Her voice had a hint of anxiousness.

"What?"

"My father called just now and told me that my grandfather was in an accident," Su Ruan spoke. "Could you… Could you help me to check when is the earliest flight to F City?"

Hearing her words, Lin Qing quickly agreed. "Alright. Su Ruan, calm down. I'll help you to get your flight tickets." As she was seated in front of the computer, Lin Qing quickly tapped her fingers on the keyboard. "There's a flight to F City two hours from now. Is that alright?"

"I'll take it."

"Just text me your details. I'll help you to book the flight."

Su Ruan heaved a breath of relief. "Alright. Lin Qing, thank you."

The bus finally arrived as she finished tapping her details and sent the information that Lin Qing might need to book a ticket for her.

Su Ruan climbed up the bus and found a seat.

In a distance away, Long Yu Heng watched as she climbed up the bus and frowned. His breathing labored as he has been running for a while.
