Chapter 376 Identity Talisman
Manager Qiu?
Wen Ni also turned slightly to the side and cast her gaze in that direction.
"Did you look for President Zhuo?"
The woman's eyebrows lifted, and she examined the paper between her slender fingers before folding it into a ball and stuffing it into her pocket. She then casually asked, "Which family's daughter are you? Would you mind letting me know? I'll pass on the message to Mr. Zhuo later."
“I’m not some rich heiress,” Wen Ni shook her head.
"Oh? Then, which group company's partner are you?"
“Neither,” Wen Ni said calmly. “You just need to tell them my name, and they will contact me.”
"Hmm~ Little sister, do you even know who these [them] are?"
Upon hearing this, Manager Qiu raised an eyebrow, her gaze becoming even more arrogant. She crossed her arms and raised her chin.
"This is the Hua Group. Not just anyone, regardless of status or social class, can meet with Mr. Chuan or President Zhuo. Every day, there are people like you here, trying to climb the social ladder by claiming to be President Zhuo's friend after only a brief encounter. I'm just giving you a friendly reminder because you're young: put away your scheming thoughts. Rising to the top isn't that easy!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Manager Qiu." Wen Ni didn't take Manager Qiu's sarcasm to heart. "But I did come here today to see Hua Zhuo."
She took out a thin wooden plaque, about the size of her palm, from her pocket. The top of the plaque had a hole in it, and a black rope hung from it.
"This was given to me by your CEO, Mr. Zhuo."
"What era are we living in? Still using tokens to identify people?"
Manager Qiu chuckled, didn't even glance at her, and deliberately knocked the wooden plaque out of Wen Ni's hand!
The wooden sign fell to the ground with a crisp thud.
The sound echoed loudly in the spacious company lobby!
Manager Qiu and the receptionist turned to look at the sign on the ground. On the brown wooden sign was a sharp and powerful character written in black ink: [华].
"magnificent……"
"Isn't this the wooden plaque that Boss Zhuo always carries with him?" Their eyes widened slightly!
The next second
The wooden sign was picked up by someone.
Manager Qiu and the receptionist were both taken aback, and quickly greeted, "Hello, Chairman Hua!"
The Chairman Hua they were talking about was wearing a sharp navy blue suit. He was tall and robust, and although he was in his fifties, his face was sharply defined and sculpted, with slightly weathered eyes, exuding the handsome charm of a mature man!
At this moment, his hand was rubbing the clan token, and his deep, unfathomable eyes were fixed on Wen Ni's face!
"Chairman Hua! What brings you here at this hour? Is there something urgent that needs your attention?"
Manager Qiu concealed her surprise and quickly went over!
“Chairman Hua, this young girl, I don’t know where she got her hands on President Zhuo’s clan token! As far as I know, President Zhuo always carries this clan token with her. How could something so important fall into someone else’s hands? President Zhuo has been missing for several days now, and we still can’t find her. Could it be related to her?”
"Manager Qiu, you need to have evidence to back up your claims." Wen Ni raised her eyes sharply. "You dare to smear me without any proof?"
"Then tell me, where did you get this clan badge from?"
"Hua Zhuo gave it to me." Wen Ni's expression was cold. "Don't you understand these five words?"
"you!"
Manager Qiu's face flushed with anger!
Some staff members came down to watch the commotion, pointing and whispering, which made her even more embarrassed.
"Chairman Hua, leave this to me! Don't worry, I will definitely find out the identity of this troublemaking girl!"
"Find out her identity?" Hua Baichuan glanced coldly, his deep voice echoing in the company lobby. "I know her identity better than any of you!"
"Wh-what?"
While everyone was stunned
Chairman Hua Baichuan, who was always stern and decisive in their eyes, strode forward and pulled the young girl Wen Ni into his arms!
"Wen Ni, I never thought I'd see you again! You actually... you're still alive!"
"Chairman Hua, with so many people watching," Wen Ni took a step back to avoid his excited embrace. "Let's talk about our things privately sometime."
"good."
Hua Baichuan quickly calmed down as well!
He calmly stepped aside and led Wen Ni outside. "Let's find a place to have a proper talk!"
"Um."
Wen Ni strode after Hua Baichuan and walked out.
Manager Qiu, who was left in the company lobby, and everyone else were stunned!
I have absolutely no idea what's going on.
"What on earth is going on? Chairman Hua has never been this intimate with any other woman outside of work! Everyone knows he's a henpecked husband!"
"Who exactly is this girl? She's holding Mr. Zhuo's family name tag, could she be... Mr. Zhuo's girlfriend?"
"What nonsense are you all spouting? Don't you have anything better to do? Or do you want to stay and work overtime?" Manager Qiu turned around and glared at her with a displeased expression, then turned and walked away in her high heels!
As soon as Manager Qiu left, the receptionist started crickets chirping.
"Everyone in the Hua Group knows that Manager Qiu likes Young Master Zhuo! Now that his real girlfriend has come knocking on the door, she has absolutely no chance."
"Oh dear! Who told her to be so arrogant and domineering? Is Mr. Zhuo blind? How could he possibly be interested in her?"
"This girlfriend may not seem to be from a wealthy family, but she has a great presence!"
No matter how much gossip there was, it was eventually shut down by the company's doors.
Wen Ni followed Hua Baichuan's car to the Hua family villa.
The villa is very close to the Huashi Group Company, only a few minutes' drive away.
Entering the magnificent Hua family home, I sat on the sofa and looked at the half-filled teacup on the coffee table in front of me.
“We also found your faked death suspicious, and when we sent people to investigate, we couldn’t find a single clue. A couple of days ago, I received a message from the Lu family saying that you were still alive, which put my mind at ease. However, I have some things to attend to here and can’t go see you!” Hua Baichuan said, sitting up straight on the sofa.
His hands rested on his knees, slightly tense, and upon closer inspection, it was easy to see that he didn't look well. He appeared tired, and there were even a few more gray hairs on his head!
“Yes, I had no choice but to do so while on a mission.” Wen Ni nodded slightly. “However, I heard from people at the company that Young Master Zhuo hasn’t been to the company for four days. Has something happened? I’ve tried calling him, but his phone is always off!”
"Ah, it's nothing serious..." Hua Baichuan's hand clenched slightly, but he remained calm and changed the subject. "You came to the company to see Hua Zhuo in person this time, probably to find out about your mother, right?"
"Yes, but..."
Before Wen Ni could ask any more questions, she heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairs, accompanied by a woman's hoarse voice sounding somewhat broken!
"Baichuan? Baichuan! You're back. Have you heard anything from Azhuo?"
Wen Ni turned around and saw a middle-aged woman with disheveled hair.
