Chapter 204 Sister, are you a little older?
When the little girl heard Shen Jingjing's words, her expression immediately changed significantly, and some unclear meaning was spread.
But she still responded with a professional smile: "Do you have an appointment?"
Shen Jingjing's expression froze. In fact, on the way here, she had thought about being stuck at this appointment stage. Someone of Mr. Jiang's status was definitely not someone that anyone could meet just because they wanted to.
But she also felt that if Mr. Jiang knew it was her, he would be willing to meet her. Although the two had only met twice, Mr. Jiang gave her the impression of being a very sincere person.
"I don't have an appointment. My last name is Shen, and I'm from Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Can you..."
Before Shen Jingjing could finish her words, the other party had already gently shook his head: "I'm sorry, ma'am, I can't let you in without an appointment. How about this, I'll make an appointment for you now. Our chairman may be free around the middle or late part of next month, but it may not be possible. It's the end of the year and the chairman's business is quite busy."
The girl at the front desk was very careful. Although she said that she could help Shen Jingjing make an appointment, she was actually telling her that it was impossible to see anyone.
Her eyes subconsciously noticed the insulated lunch box in Shen Jingjing's hand, and she couldn't help but become more certain of her guess.
It's no secret that Mr. Jiang is anxious to arrange a blind date for the chairman. Secretary Li has already stated that any women of marriageable age who come to the group alone to see the chairman will not be allowed in.
Her job as the front desk clerk is the first checkpoint, and she absolutely cannot make any mistakes.
Shen Jingjing definitely didn't know about this. She just thought it was the process system of a large group, and she couldn't possibly make things difficult for a little girl.
In that case, she might as well make the call herself. She originally thought it would be more polite to inform the company's front desk first. After all, it would be a bit abrupt to call Mr. Jiang suddenly, but this was the only way now.
She's here now.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a beautiful woman in a fur coat also came to the front desk, and like Shen Jingjing, she was also holding a lunch box in her hand.
Unlike Shen Jingjing's low-key and introverted temperament, this woman's style is more extroverted. Her clothes, accessories and facial expression can reveal her noble background and proud attitude.
"I want to see your Chairman Jiang."
The woman spoke in a haughty tone.
Shen Jingjing subconsciously looked at her, and the other party also looked at Shen Jingjing, but not at her face, but at the lunch box in her hand.
Then obvious disdain flashed across his brows, and then he casually glanced at Shen Jingjing's face.
Shen Jingjing is beautiful and well-maintained, and you can hardly tell her actual age.
But no matter how young she looked, she couldn't be younger than the woman in front of her, because the person in front of her looked less than 30 years old, and seemed to be only six or seven years older than her daughter.
Therefore, even though the other party guessed that Shen Jingjing was also here to see Chairman Jiang, they did not take her seriously at all.
"Ma'am, do you have an appointment?"
The receptionist still asked politely.
I thought it was the same as the lady just now, but she blurted out with a tone of barely concealed pride: "Of course there is. Otherwise, why would I come here for no reason? My last name is Hu. The receptionists on duty the past two days knew me. You should remember me, because I will be coming here every day from now on."
While speaking, he did not forget to make a subtle sarcastic remark about Shen Jingjing next to him.
"Ms. Hu, right? We've seen your appointment information. Secretary Li has instructed us to send someone to take you straight up when you arrive."
There really was an appointment, and the professional fake smile on the girl's face was three points more real. At the end, she did not forget to glance at Shen Jingjing who was standing beside her, and then she warmly invited Ms. Hu to go to the elevator.
Ms. Hu paused as she passed by Shen Jingjing. She squinted her eyes slightly and asked in confusion, "Excuse me, who are you from in Longcheng?"
As long as the big families tell each other their family names, they can have a general idea of each other even if they don't know each other. Ms. Hu asked curiously because she thought Shen Jingjing looked unfamiliar.
Out of politeness, Shen Jingjing said truthfully: "I'm not from Longcheng, I'm from Shenzhen and Hong Kong."
"ha?"
Ms. Hu couldn't help but smile in surprise when she heard this: "Shenzhen and Hong Kong?"
She shook her head speechlessly, her eyes gleaming with disdain as she said, "No matter how prominent a family emerges in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, they can't compare to the third-rate ones in Longcheng, let alone the Jiang family. Big sister, consider your family background and origins. Don't just jump at the chance to get in when you see a good opportunity. Besides, you're a bit old, aren't you?"
Shen Jingjing: “…”
To be honest, she didn't quite understand Ms. Hu's sudden hostility and trash talk.
It seems like there was a misunderstanding that she was here to curry favor with the Jiang family?
But the other party obviously wouldn't listen to her explanation, and she was too lazy to explain these things to irrelevant people. She just watched the other party leave proudly without saying a word, and even her back showed pride.
"Ms. Hu, you are here."
Secretary Li came out to greet the chairman's office on the top floor. Hu Yulian's attitude completely changed upon seeing Secretary Li. Her voice lowered, and her expression softened. "Secretary Li, is Brother Yuan Liang still handling things?"
Secretary Li nodded and lowered his voice, "I've been busy all morning. Please wait a moment. I'll take you in when the chairman is done."
"Don't worry, work is important." Hu Yulian said understandingly.
Secretary Li smiled and nodded, not daring to neglect the person in front of him.
The eldest daughter of the Hu Group, a doctor of finance from the Royal University of Singapore, comes from a wealthy family and is a top student. She just returned to China and joined the Hu Group at the age of 28.
In recent months, the chairman has been driven into a panic by Mr. Jiang. Longcheng has been sending several suitable marriage partners to the group every day, as if they were coming in wholesale, forcing the chairman to meet with them.
Later, the chairman became anxious and chose Hu Yulian from the crowd, thinking that a highly educated woman should be knowledgeable and reasonable. He knew that he was old enough, and even if he had no idea about getting married, he was not opposed to it, so he was willing to get in touch with her.
As expected, Hu Yulian was the only one who took a step forward, and Mr. Jiang instantly calmed down.
Not long after, Secretary Li went into the chairman's office and came back, greeting Hu Yulian: "Ms. Hu, you can come in."
Upon hearing this, Hu Yulian straightened her furry collar and walked in carrying a delicate little lunch box.
This wasn't her first time here, so she started talking familiarly as soon as she entered: "Brother Yuanliang, Secretary Liu said you've been busy all morning, but you still have to eat. I made beef salad for you today, would you like it..."
Halfway through his words, the phone suddenly rang in the office. Jiang Yuanliang, who had not looked up from the beginning to the end, subconsciously picked up the phone beside him and took a look. The caller ID showed a number from Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
His thoughts paused, and he quickly pressed the answer button: "Hello, I'm Jiang Yuanliang."
