001.9 | Gratitude For Saving Me

The ladies were troubled by Qi Sying's distraught expression.

This person would not appear unless someone specifically requested his presence, right?

Furthermore, no matter how meticulous San Zhao was, there were instances when he forgot to alert the personnel on the reception of someone's arrival. They recalled that they had previously blocked the CEO's sister from visiting her brother.

They got in contact with the CEO's office because they didn't want something like this to happen again. As was customary, the call would be channeled through the secretary before being forwarded to the CEO.

San Zhao answered the phone right away. Jun Zihao's appearance prompted him to immediately make an excuse, telling the lady to hold the call for a minute since there was another call on the same line.

The lady was well aware that the majority of the calls in this office were important. They instructed Qi Sying to wait for a while because the secretary was currently occupied.

However, this was not the case. The secretary only wanted to stall for some time to bully the new employee.

Twenty minutes later, the secretary still did not call back, but the phone was still on-hold. Qi Sying can feel his own legs cramping.

Since this was the front desk, there would be no chairs where people could sit and rest. So he has been standing for the past few minutes, trying to get relief by leaning on the wall or talking with the ladies on the counter.

One of the women noticed his sluggish action and offered her chair but Qi Sying refused. If he will take that chair, where will she sit?

Qi Sying's face began to turn pale as the clock approached the thirty-minute mark. Aside from the needle-like numbness that was torturing his legs, his head began to pulsate.

He started to feel dizzy, and all he wanted to do was lie down and sleep for a bit. He contemplated whether or not he should continue to wait or simply leave. Qi Sying opted the latter and prepared to leave in search of his medicine's comfort.

However, the secretary's timing was impeccable, as the phone connected just as Qi Sying was about to walk out the door. The secretary apologized for holding on so long because the person on the other end was "very important". Qi Sying could hear the excuses from the receiver and couldn't help but feel compelled to wring that secretary's neck.

Qi Sying could handle it if it was only for twenty minutes.

But thirty minutes?

Even though he was just an employee, it was disrespectful to have someone wait for thirty minutes without any notice. He still has the right to complain.

Additionally, given Jun Zihao's condition, this approach could be construed as a form of abusing the disabled.

The lady acknowledged Qi Sying's arrival and led him to the CEO's office. Qi Sying expressed his gratitude and continued on his way. Even though he was familiar with the layout of this facility, he still had to put on a show of ignorance to pretend that this was his first visit.

It's true that this is his first time. There's nothing to do. However, with his internal GPS, he would be able to go to whichever place he desired. It was just that it would be inappropriate if he suddenly knew the way without asking.

He finally reached the boss's den after a few steps and a little snooping. The only thing there was a closed door with metal handles. Two potted plots were placed on each side to bring some color to the otherwise dreary area.

Qi Sying straightened his clothes as he knocked on the door three times. Only after hearing the voice of the secretary did he dare to open it. If only he is allowed, he would just want to barge in and knock the door over. He will then assassinate San Zhao for being a motherfaka.
