"Kneel for two hours?" Dong Ru zhu almost fainted when she heard this, but when she calmed down, she realized that such an ungraceful request could not have come from Huo Siye's mouth.
"I don't believe it. Are you just trying to fool me by finding someone random?" Dong Ru zhu glared at the receptionist.
The round-faced receptionist smiled just right and repeated the message from the secretary, "Mrs. Shen, the secretary said that if you kneel for two hours, she will see you."
Dong Ru zhu was so angry that she trembled. Huo Siye really gave her no face!
Did he forget about his relationship with Xinai?
"Go ask again and tell him that it's Shen Xinai's mother who wants to see him."
"I'm sorry, the secretary said that you can only see her after kneeling for two hours." The receptionist still smiled patiently and repeated.
Dong Ru zhu suddenly felt powerless, like punching cotton.
Beside her, Shen Zhizhou sighed and pulled Dong Ru zhu, speaking in a bad tone, "I told you not to come, but you didn't listen and made a fool of yourself."
"I'm here to save your daughter. How can that be making a fool of myself? Shen Zhizhou, don't forget that Xinai is your own daughter."
"I haven't forgotten! But it's you who spoiled her, making her uncontrollable."
"How can you say that?"
"I'm already giving you face. Go outside and listen to what those people are saying." Shen Zhizhou was filled with anger that had nowhere to go.
These days, he went out to see his friends, and everyone asked him what was going on.
It was so embarrassing.
On the surface, these people said it was a pity and they would help think of a solution.
But behind his back, they said worse and worse things.
Even the engagement banquet incident was brought up.
Shen Zhizhou lost face, but he couldn't confront them directly, so he could only hold his anger inside.
"It's all your fault for spoiling her too much. I think it's not a bad thing for her to go to jail and learn a lesson."
"Shen Zhizhou, if you don't know how to speak, then shut up! How can Xin'ai, such a well-behaved child, go to jail?"
"Can a well-behaved child do drugs and kill people?"
"Which rich kid doesn't do drugs? What's the big deal? And when did Xinai kill anyone? Clearly, she just couldn't take it anymore and wanted to jump off the building. With such poor mental resilience, she will commit suicide sooner or later. We can only blame Xinai for being unlucky."
"Nonsense!" Shen Zhizhou was so angry at Dong Ru zhu's words.
"And that Qin Zhenzhen, if she could listen to Xinai and break up with her boyfriend and be with Xinai's friend, would Xinai have a conflict with her? Xinai did this to stand up for her friend. If you don't praise her, that's fine, but you're also scolding her."
Shen Zhizhou, "..."
The receptionist was stunned. It was the first time she had seen someone speak so nobly about drug use, murder, and campus violence.
"Anyway, I don't care. Xinai must be saved. When we meet Huo Siye later, you have to stand on the same front as me. Otherwise... Otherwise, I'll tell the reporters what Liang Xinying said before she died!"
"You! You!" Hearing the name Liang Xinying, Shen Zhizhou's face turned pale instantly, as if his throat was being choked and he couldn't speak.
"If you don't want to ruin your reputation, do as I say. I won't stop until I save Xinai."
Shen Zhizhou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded silently.
Seeing his compromise, Dong Ru zhu was satisfied.
She looked at the girl at the front desk again, "Ask again and say..."
"The secretary said she'll only see you if you kneel for two hours." The girl at the front desk interrupted Dong Ru zhu and showed her eight teeth as she spoke.
"What kind of thing is the secretary? I'm not seeing her, I want to see your CEO."
"The secretary may be nothing, but what she says must be conveyed by the CEO."
Everyone in the Junsheng Group knows that the secretary is the CEO's messenger, and every word and action of hers represents the CEO.
So, listening to the secretary is never wrong.
"Madam Shen, are you... going to kneel?"
"Of course not!"
"Then please turn left and go out, there are taxis available there. You are welcome to come again next time."
Dong Ru zhu, "..."
Facing Dong Ru zhu's angry gaze, the girl at the front desk smiled innocently.
"You tell Huo Siye, say that the sister of the third wife of the Huo family wants to see him!"
"Which third wife?"
"Huo family's third wife!"
"I see..." The girl lowered her head and typed on the keyboard, then looked up after a few seconds. "The appointment for the third wife is next Tuesday, why don't you come then?"
"The implication is that even the third lady needs to make an appointment in advance, let alone you, her sister," said the receptionist with a smile, showing her eight perfectly aligned teeth.
"I have important business!" exclaimed Dong Ru zhu.
Still smiling, the receptionist replied, "Please give him a call. I will personally inform him."
Dong Ru zhu wanted to slap her, but she restrained herself. This was Junsheng Group, the territory of Huo Siye. She would have to wait.
If she couldn't go up, it didn't matter. She could wait. He would have to go home after work, right? She would wait here and she wouldn't believe that she couldn't see him.
Dong Ru zhu, determined to see Huo Siye, ignored the subtle glances of the people around her and sat down on the sofa in the lobby.
Shen Zhizhou hesitated to leave, but was scared off by Dong Ru zhu's threatening gaze.
The secretary reported the incident downstairs truthfully, mainly to the little girl next to the big boss.
"In that case, turn off the air conditioning on the first floor," said Xing kong calmly.
"But if we do that, the employees on the first floor may suffer," replied the secretary.
Xingkong looked at Huo Siye and said coldly, "Let the people on the first floor leave early, and pay them their full salary."
"All of them?" confirmed the secretary.
"All of them."
"Understood."
Xingkong smiled with satisfaction.
It was early September and the outdoor temperature was as high as 39 degrees Celsius. There was no air conditioning...
She wanted to see how great Dong Ru zhu's maternal love was.
When the people on the first floor received the notice of leaving work early, they were all very happy and left as quickly as possible.
After receiving the notice, the control center immediately turned off the air conditioning on the first floor.
The temperature on the first floor rose visibly.
After a short while, Shen Zhizhou was sweating profusely, and Dong Ru zhu was also sweating heavily.
"Why is it suddenly so hot?" Shen Zhizhou wiped his sweat and asked in confusion.
Dong Ru zhu was annoyed and didn't want to bother with him.
"You can wait for yourself. I'm not feeling well and I'm going back first!" Shen Zhizhou couldn't stand the heat and left after saying a word.
"Worthless!" Dong Ru zhu looked disgusted.
If it weren't for him becoming a member of the wealthy family, how could she have been willing to marry him?
