"Do you have an appointment?"
The receptionist looked at Xiao Yi, dressed plainly, a look of surprise fleeting across her eyes, but her face still maintained a polite, formulaic smile as she spoke.
"No, I'm not here to discuss anything, just to have a few words with him before leaving."
Xiao Yi smiled. He wasn't bothered by the receptionist's question or her slightly odd look, and he understood it very well. After all, Chen Jianguo was a busy man and couldn't possibly meet with everyone who requested it, so he kept his explanation polite.
"I'm sorry, sir, but without an appointment, our director cannot see you. If you have something important to discuss with him, please go over there to fill out a form and schedule an appointment," she said.
