When Su Nian arrived in the lobby, there were not many people. It was easy for a new face to attract attention, especially when it was such a beauty like Su Nian. However, Zheng Haoyu hadn't notified the front desk to expect her.
Since Zheng Haoyu took over as the president of the Huaxiang Group, there had been an unwritten rule that any woman visiting him was not allowed entry without his permission.
The ladies at the front desk thought that she was one of Zheng Haoyu's mistresses, so no one paid attention to Su Nian and she decided to directly approach them with her query.
"Miss, where is the President's office?" she asked. The two receptionists looked at her but didn't respond.
Helpless, Su Nian repeated her question.
"Miss, I know our president is very attractive. There are countless women like you who come looking for him every day. Some even dress up in fancy clothes. But you stand no chance, so you should leave," said a receptionist named Zhang Yuan while glancing at Su Nian's simple, yet elegant white knee-length dress.
Su Nian sighed. It seems that they've mistaken her for one of Zheng Haoyu's mistresses.
"Well, you're doing well. Keep it up." Su Nian smiled without explaining herself, and headed straight to the president's private elevator.
"Miss, you can't take that one." Zhang Yuan hurriedly started to walk towards the elevator while loudly reminding her.
"It's alright." Su Nian pressed the 'up' button without waiting for her to say anything else and left Zhang Yuan fretting on how difficult it was to get her job.
Su Nian didn't know where the President's office was. She just got off when the elevator stopped, not expecting it would actually take her directly to the 43rd floor, where the office was located.
At the same time, four female secretaries just came out of the elevator and looked at Su Nian in surprise. "Miss, who are you looking for?" they asked.
"Where is the President's office?"
"Straight down this way," the secretary named Chen Ya answered reflexively.
"Ya!" The nearby secretary was too late to stop her and just shot Chen Ya a glare.
"Ah, I'm in trouble, the President will be furious with me," Chen Ya worried.
"A cup of plain tea to the office." Before the secretaries could say anything more, Su Nian had headed to the President's office leaving them staring at each other in confusion.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry and make that tea," secretary Wang Lan ordered.
Although Zheng Haoyu and Su Nian's wedding was quite grand, they didn't invite company employees because someone wasn't in the mood. Therefore, employees knew he was married, but they didn't know who the bride was.
Su Nian gently pushed open the door of the president's office and looked around. The office itself was spacious, well lit, simple yet grand, with sunlight streaming through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. It exuded an understated luxury.
The office also had a large bookshelf full of a variety of books including ones on finance, investment, wealth management, enterprise management, jewelry design, and even architecture.
"Truly worthy of Zheng Haoyu. He knows how to enjoy life. I wonder how many women he's had on this large sofa in this office." Su Nian thought as she sat herself down in the massive sofa.
She took a small tour around Zheng Haoyu's office, took out a folio from her bag that she always carried with her. She sat there browsing through it, occasionally making a few notes. Her outfit complemented the sofa, making her look more energetic.
When Zheng Haoyu came back, he saw Chen Ya bringing freshly brewed flower tea. Chen Ya trembled as she said, "President, a lady has entered your office."
