Chapter 905 – The Secret Would Be Blown Off.
Nodding to the guidance of the receptionist, Li Xue soon got on her way to the general elevator. She smiled looking at the metal card in her hand. Luckily, last time Qi Shuai gave her this card, or her visit here today wouldn't have been this flawless.
She was sure without this card, the receptionist must have definitely asked her identity first before letting her in like this. She has not missed the curious look the girl was giving to her. Remembering that look, she could not help but chuckle.
"Mr. Beelzebub, so I have accepted your challenge. Let me see your surprised expression. I am sure it will be fun." Pressing the key to the Secretariat floor, Li Xue mumbled to herself, getting all excited for the show she was going to create for Feng Shufen.
After Li Xue left, Du Fan was relaxing when his eyes suddenly read something on the car parked at a distance.. And it was then when he remembered something that he had been forgetting all this while. His face paled as he rushed inside the building to stop Li Xue from getting in.
But little did he know that he was too late for that. The bow has already shot the arrow and now it couldn't be undone.
Reaching the desk of reception with a huff, Du Fan quickly looked around in search of Li Xue. But not finding her around, he turned to ask the reception, breaking in pants. "What is happening here?"
The receptionist was dumbfounded, looking at him panting like that. But seeing the urgency written over his expressions, she didn't delay her reply. Quickly, giving a small bow of respect she said, "Mr. Du, there is a press meeting about the South Marine project going on upstairs. Almost all the employees are there attending it."
"Press meeting?" Du Fan asked in horror and the receptionist nodded to him with a slight wrinkle on her brows.
"Yes, Mr. Du. A press meeting on the most awaited South Marine project. Is there a problem?" She asked, getting pale as well. She was not used to seeing the easy-going driver of the President go this nervous with anxiousness.
Was there some threat to President Feng?
The receptionist thought and feeling all dreaded with the idea, she stared at the man waiting for his reply.
But instead of replying to her, Du Fan dodged her question to answer something more crucial. "Madam has come here. Have you guided her well to the floor of the President's office?"
The lady was confused for a second on the reference of the title, 'Madam'. But she didn't get any more time to ponder over it. Quickly nodding, she said, "Yes, the lady had the metal electronic pass for the President's personal elevator, so I led her to the floor. Was there a problem with her? Did I do something I shouldn't?" The receptionist asked, holding her heart from giving a heart attack.
She could not dare to think if she had done something that had staked the life of President Feng. It would be hard for her to take the consequences. Furthermore, she may not be able to defend herself in any way.
But at her words, Du Fan sighed with relief. Her paled expressions eased as he finally neutralized his heavy pants. "Oh, thank the heavens! She has used the President's personal elevator. Using it would be right and would also keep her out of the media ruckus." He said to himself and then turning to look at the girl at the front, he shook his head.
"No, you did well to lead her to the President's office. There is no problem. And also it is even better that you allowed her easily on the President's personal elevator. Because of that one reason, everything is fine." He said but paused when saw the receptionist still in the fearful expression.
"It's fine. You can be at ease. I am sorry that I scared you earlier." He said but the girl shook her head to deny in an anxious tone.
"Nope, Mr. Du. Though I have allowed the lady in, she has not taken the President's personal elevator."
Du Fan didn't understand. "What?"
Feeling afraid, the receptionist stuttered. "Ye-Yes, Mr. Du. The President's elevator was under servicing so I asked the lady to either wait for some time or use the general elevator as it was also not busy. I said she can take the general elevator to the Secretariat floor and from there she can use the staircase. And she chose to use the general elevator."
"…" Du Fan didn't know how he should react to this. Though he knew the employees were all at one place and may not come across Li Xue, still there were still some chances of them encountering her in hiding which he could not take in easily. Above that, there were also media people around.
What would happen if they saw her visiting the President of Feng International so easily? Won't that blow off the secret?
He shook his head at the thought before pulling out his phone to dial the number of Gao Fan. He couldn't be late doing that. Fidgeting through the contact list, he quickly dialed the number of Gao Fan, who failed to receive the call on the first attempt.
"Mr. Du, Secretary Gao must have kept his phone on silent, same as other employees." The receptionist aided from the side and hearing her say that, Du Fan rushed to get the staircase to reach the conference floor of the meeting.
Behind, the receptionist didn't know what she should do next. Should she already start packing her things to leave the job? Or was there still some hope? She couldn't dare to be positive.
While at the same time she was feeling another wave of curiosity in her heart too. Mr. Du has referred to that lady as Madam. Does that mean she was the wife of President Feng about whom the whole office was talking about? If yes, what kind of lady is she to attract the cold President falling in love with her?
