No matter what they said, the reception simply wouldn't let them in. When they tried to force their way through, they were promptly pulled out by the towering security guard at the door.
The glass doors closed, reflecting the disgraced and embarrassed figures of the mother and son.
Hen Peizhu was so angry her nose was crooked. Just moments before, she had been boasting to her son about how powerful and influential she was; now, they had been thrown out, and her face felt swollen from the blow to her pride.
Just as she was about to curse someone out, she heard her son suddenly say, "Mom, look, isn't that Lin Chuyi? What is she doing here?"
Hen Peizhu focused her gaze and, indeed, saw Lin Chuyi getting out of a taxi, walking towards them while taking an ID badge out of her bag and hanging it on her chest.
As she approached, Hen Peizhu recognized it at a glance—it was a Jungle Pharmaceutical employee pass; the same kind of pass worn by the reception security!
