It was very convenient to hail a taxi at the entrance of the residential area, and Lu Wanzheng got into a taxi in no time.
After getting out of the car, thanks to Su Ge's prior notice, she entered the company smoothly. When she reached the elevator, she suddenly stopped, forgetting to ask Su Ge which floor Mr. Xiao's office was on.
Reluctantly, she turned back to the front desk and tapped lightly on the counter. "Excuse me, which floor is Mr. Xiao's office on?"
The receptionist stood up at the sound, and when she looked up, she met a pair of clean, amber eyes. The beautiful, alluring fox-like eyes blinked at her.
The receptionist was momentarily stunned, staring blankly at Lu Wanzheng as if she had been bewitched.
It wasn't until a colleague nudged her that she snapped out of her daze. Faced with such a beautiful young woman, she couldn't help but nervously reply, "On the 17th floor."
"Thank you." Lu Wanzheng gave a polite smile, picked up the insulated box, and headed towards the elevator.
Once Lu Wanzheng had walked away, the front desk became lively again.
"Did you see what Lu Wanzheng is holding?"
The receptionist who had just made eye contact with Lu Wanzheng suddenly became excited. Although she hadn't been a fan of Lu Wanzheng before, from now on, she could declare to the world that she was a fan of Lu Wanzheng's looks! "I see, it's a thermal lunchbox. It must be here to deliver food."
"You just said that Assistant Su greeted you, right? She wouldn't happen to be Assistant Su's girlfriend, would she? Today is Qixi Festival, is she here to bring lunch to her boyfriend?"
"Now that you mention it, it sounds kind of romantic? It's not even evening yet, and I'm already stuffed with dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)."
As the face of the company, he usually sees more news than the average person. Before long, the news that an actor had sent Su's assistant a loving lunch spread throughout the entire company.
Lu Wanzheng, having walked far away, was completely unaware of what was happening behind her.
There were quite a few people standing at the elevator entrance who had just finished eating in the cafeteria and were returning.
After the people in the elevator got out, a group of people rushed into the elevator, each pressing the button for the floor where their department was located.
After everyone finished pressing their buttons, a slender, fair finger suddenly reached out from the side and pressed the button for the 17th floor.
Everyone: ? ? ?
Isn't the 17th floor the CEO's office?
This woman looked unfamiliar; I'd never seen her at the company before. But what she was holding looked like a lunchbox—was she bringing me food?
But who should we give it to?
Standing in the crowd, Lu Wanzheng felt strange and probing gazes directed at her from time to time.
She shrugged, seemingly oblivious and completely calm, as if they weren't even looking at her.
My ears were filled with the announcements that the elevator had reached its floor.
As the number of floors increased, the number of people in the elevator gradually decreased until the 15th floor, when the last person in the elevator left, turning his head to look at Lu Wanzheng with a puzzled expression before leaving.
Lu Wanzheng still didn't care. The only thing she cared about now was whether it would affect Xiao Qifeng's meal, since it was already past midnight.
Two seconds later, the elevator came to a smooth stop on the 17th floor, and the doors slowly opened.
"We've arrived at the 17th floor." A cold, mechanical female voice rang out inside the elevator, and the sound also carried to the 17th floor, where it was heard by passersby. Everyone stopped in their tracks, paused their work, and looked at the elevator with puzzled expressions.
Normally no one comes up at this time.
The door opened, and a woman wearing a beige short-sleeved T-shirt and a white midi skirt stepped out of the elevator.
Her long, black hair was casually draped behind her head.
Everyone was amazed by the woman who appeared at the office door.
As Su Ge was working with his head down, he suddenly sensed that something was off about the atmosphere. It was too quiet, and the whispers of the secretaries that he could hear before had completely disappeared.
He raised an eyebrow and looked up.
Because of his daily work, his workstation is the best place on the entire floor to look towards the elevator; he can easily see who comes in just by looking up slightly.
When he looked up and saw the person standing at the elevator entrance, he immediately dropped his pen, jumped up from his chair, and strode towards the elevator.
"You've arrived. I'll take you to the president's office." Su Ge respectfully led Lu Wanzheng toward the president's office, whose door was tightly closed.
The two stood at the door, and he said softly, "The president is inside. I'll go and get back to work."
The employees on the same floor all craned their necks to look in Lu Wanzheng's direction.
Su Ge turned around and saw his colleagues huddled in a corner, constantly banging their heads out. He quickly glared at them, walked over, and shooed them away. His colleagues warned them, "No one is allowed to talk about this. Be careful, or the CEO will get angry, you hear me?"
Everyone said they would never tell anyone, and then dispersed to get back to work.
Lu Wanzheng gently knocked on the office door and heard a deep, magnetic voice from inside, "Come in."
She got permission from the people inside before pushing open the door and going in.
Xiao Qifeng assumed it was his secretary delivering documents, so he didn't even look up and habitually said, "Just put the documents on the table. Remember to close the door when you leave, and have Su Ge bring in the food."
It was getting late, and after a meeting and a lot of paperwork that morning, Xiao Qifeng felt his stomach was empty, like he was playing the "empty city strategy" (a Chinese idiom for being hungry).
Lu Wanzheng obediently placed the insulated box on the table and stood motionless in front of it, showing no sign of leaving.
He heard no footsteps or the sound of doors opening or closing. Xiao Qifeng frowned and looked up unhappily. Was this secretary new?
"Why..." Aren't you going out yet?
Before Xiao Qifeng could finish speaking, he saw the woman in front of him, who was bright and beautiful, pure and charming, with arched eyebrows, looking at him with a smile.
Xiao Qifeng's face stiffened slightly, and he immediately put away his somewhat annoyed expression. "Why are you here?" he asked, his tone revealing a hint of surprise, his gaze fixed on Lu Wanzheng.
"Does Mr. Xiao know what day it is today?" Lu Wanzheng asked instead of answering.
She was curious whether Xiao Qifeng knew what day it was, since they were both in a relationship.
Xiao Qifeng: "Today is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Qixi Festival."
"Mr. Xiao actually knew!" she exaggeratedly. "I never expected that Mr. Xiao, who is so busy with work, would know about today's special occasion."
Lu Wanzheng began to reflect on whether she was really in a relationship. Even Xiao Qifeng, who was so busy every day, knew clearly that today was Qixi Festival, but she, who stayed at home every day, had completely forgotten about it.
"Is that so strange? I plan to spend my whole life with you, and I will remember every special day between us clearly." Xiao Qifeng smiled gently and elegantly, as if the person who had just shown displeasure was not him.
