Chapter 108 - The Mystery of the Distinguished Guest

In the prologue of this chapter, Xia Zhuozhuo's figure stood out in the astonished eyes of the crowd. Her arrival seemed to foreshadow some unusual turn of events. Xia Zhuozhuo stood there quietly, witnessing everything in front of her, with a hint of surprise on her face. This surprise was soon interrupted by Manager Zhao's earth-shattering words. "What lunatic? This is Mr. Si's distinguished guest!" Manager Zhao's voice exploded in the office like thunder, causing the receptionist to open her eyes wide instantly, as if she had seen something incredible. "She, she is really..." The receptionist's words were filled with a hint of disbelief, but more of horror. She knew that she had caused a big disaster again this time, and it might be difficult to end it. Manager Zhao looked at the horrified expression of the receptionist, and the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely. How many distinguished guests had this receptionist driven away this month? As long as they were pretty and had no appointment, she would directly refuse them without asking about their identities. The day before yesterday, she even drove away Chen's daughter, who was an important person who came to see Mr. Si to discuss cooperation. Recalling what happened that day, Manager Zhao still has lingering fears. After being driven away, Chen's daughter was furious, and Mr. Si had to send Mr. Mai to apologize in person, giving gifts and promises, and finally saved the cooperation. At that time, the company spared her this time because she was still young and the cooperation finally went smoothly. However, she did not expect that she would repeat the same trick again after just a few days. Yesterday, Manager Zhao witnessed the intimate interaction between Xia Zhuozhuo and Si Shenxing at the charity exhibition in the future. He clearly remembered that Si Shenxing went out to greet Xia Zhuozhuo in person and took good care of her. Who else can enjoy such treatment except the company's senior leaders? Therefore, he concluded that Xia Zhuozhuo is definitely a distinguished guest of the company. The receptionist was struck by lightning at this time, and she knew that she was really in trouble this time. She knelt on the ground, hugged Manager Zhao's legs tightly with both hands, and begged for mercy with tears in her eyes: "Manager Zhao, I know I was wrong, I can't lose this job... I just bought a house, and if I lose my job, I can't pay the mortgage next month..." However, Manager Zhao was unmoved. He glared at the receptionist fiercely, then turned to Xia Zhuozhuo and said: "Miss Xia, I'm so sorry, this person is still a newcomer and doesn't know the rules. Now that he has been driven away, please don't be angry..." Xia Zhuozhuo looked at Manager Zhao's sincere expression and nodded slightly, indicating that she didn't mind. But she still reminded: "The front desk is the face of the company. Next time you look for someone, Manager Zhao should ask the HR department to open their eyes a little." Manager Zhao nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely learn from the lesson. Then, he personally pressed the elevator button for Xia Zhuozhuo and personally sent her upstairs to meet Si Shenxing. In the elevator, Manager Zhao's attitude towards Xia Zhuozhuo was extremely enthusiastic, as if he was treating a distinguished guest. He kept apologizing to Xia Zhuozhuo and said that he would punish the ignorant receptionist severely. Xia Zhuozhuo looked at Manager Zhao's flattering expression and couldn't help feeling a little funny. But she didn't show it, just responded to Manager Zhao's words lightly. The elevator door slowly closed, leaving Manager Zhao's enthusiastic figure outside the door. Xia Zhuozhuo stood quietly in the elevator, thinking about the upcoming meeting with Si Shenxing. However, just when the elevator door was about to close completely, a big hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the elevator door. Manager Zhao was startled, but fortunately the elevator door sensed a foreign object and opened automatically. Jiang Ze's figure appeared at the elevator door, and he looked at Xia Zhuozhuo and Manager Zhao with a blank face. Obviously, he had just heard what Manager Zhao said and became very curious about Xia Zhuozhuo's identity. He had many questions to ask Xia Zhuozhuo, asking why she knew Si Shenxing, what her relationship with Si Shenxing was, and even asking if she wanted to climb Si Shenxing's bed. But when the words came to his lips, he was interrupted by the cold voice of Manager Zhao. "Mr. Jiang, right? Since you accidentally broke your hand here, go back and let someone else sign the contract." Manager Zhao's words were full of disdain and sarcasm, as if he was deliberately angering Jiang Ze. Jiang Ze's face turned pale in an instant, but he didn't dare to get angry. He knew that he had offended the people of S Group, and even Du Xinyue couldn't speak for him. Especially now, he couldn't let Du Xinyue see his face. He tried to fight for it, pretending not to understand what Manager Zhao said, and said in a relaxed tone: "Manager Zhao, my hand is fine, and I'm here now. Letting other people come over will delay things." However, Manager Zhao mercilessly pressed the elevator door closing button. The elevator door slowly closed, leaving Jiang Ze's unwilling eyes outside the door. Jiang Ze could only watch the elevator door close, his heart full of anger and helplessness. The pain in his wrist made him even more irritable, but he knew that he couldn't delay the important work at this time. He could only endure the pain and call back to the company, lying that he had an accident on the road and his hand was injured. Although the company was angry, they didn't say anything when they heard Jiang Ze said that his hand was broken. After all, Jiang Ze was Du Xinyue's man, and they didn't want to offend Du Xinyue. So they hung up the phone and sent another person to take over Jiang Ze's job. However, Jiang Ze didn't leave. He secretly hid outside the company's gate, wanting to wait for Xia Zhuozhuo to come out and ask for clarification. He wanted to know what background Xia Zhuozhuo had that made Si Shenxing pay so much attention to him. At this time in the elevator, Manager Zhao looked at Xia Zhuozhuo's calm expression and couldn't help but feel lucky in his heart. He was glad that he had just taken action in time to help Xia Zhuozhuo out of trouble. Otherwise, if Jiang Ze talked nonsense in front of Xia Zhuozhuo, he might cause more trouble. He knew in his heart that the relationship between Xia Zhuozhuo and Si Shenxing was extraordinary. Therefore, he was more respectful and enthusiastic towards Xia Zhuozhuo. He personally pressed the floor button of the elevator for Xia Zhuozhuo and said with a smile: "Miss Xia, please go slowly." Xia Zhuozhuo nodded slightly to express her gratitude. Then she stood quietly in the elevator, waiting for the elevator to rise. When the elevator door opened again, Xia Zhuozhuo had come to the door of Si Shenxing's office. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door gently. "Come in." Si Shenxing's voice came from inside the door, with a hint of gentleness and expectation. Xia Zhuozhuo pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Si Shenxing sitting at his desk, looking at her with a smile. At that moment, she seemed to see her future hopes and dreams. And Si Shenxing looked at Xia Zhuozhuo's beautiful figure, his heart full of happiness and satisfaction. He knew that he had found the person who could accompany him for the rest of his life. In the following time, Xia Zhuozhuo had an in-depth conversation with Si Shenxing. They talked about each other's dreams and future, and talked about the development and planning of the company. Their conversation was full of tacit understanding and resonance, as if their hearts were closely connected. In the end, Xia Zhuozhuo left Si Shenxing's office with satisfaction. She knew that she had taken an important step. And this step will determine her future destiny and life trajectory. Jiang Ze was still waiting outside the company's gate. He didn't know when Xia Zhuozhuo would come out, but he was willing to wait. Because he knew that only by understanding Xia Zhuozhuo's background and identity could he make the right decision and action. However, what he didn't know was that his waiting was doomed to be in vain. Because Xia Zhuozhuo was no longer the girl who could be easily seen through. She had grown into a woman full of wisdom and charm, and her future was full of infinite possibilities and hope. Manager Zhao stopped at the door and nodded slightly to Xia Zhuozhuo: "Mr. Si has been waiting for a long time, please do as you please, I still have other things to do. If you have any needs, just say it." Xia Zhuozhuo responded with a smile, praising his wit in his heart. Watching Manager Zhao leave, she lifted her skirt slightly, knocked lightly on the half-open frosted glass door, and stepped into an unknown meeting.
