The staff member turned around and greeted respectfully, "Manager!"
Then he pointed at Qiao Yu beside him and said, "This lady said she is Mr. Chu's assistant..."
The manager glanced at the staff member, then walked up to Qiao Yu and said politely, "Excuse me, Miss. Master Chu has said that he won't see anyone who comes to see him today. Why don't you give him a call first?"
Qiao Yu smiled awkwardly and explained, "Well... well... it's like this... I have some work-related questions that I'd like to ask Master Chu. Could you please help me?"
The manager smiled politely, "I'm sorry, Master Chu has instructed that no one can be allowed in today, no matter who comes! If we let you in now, we're afraid we'll lose our jobs. Please be kind and don't make things difficult for us!"
Seeing that nothing he said made sense, Qiao Yu smiled awkwardly again and compromised, "How about... I give Young Master Chu a call?"
As she spoke, she dialed Chu Xixuan's number. When the call was connected, she heard Chu Xixuan's voice on the other end of the line: "Who?"
Qiao Yu's heart suddenly sank. She had already called Chu Xixuan many times. Could it be that he didn't even know her number?
However, she then comforted herself: Someone like Mr. Chu might only remember his own number and not anyone else's, right?
Qiao Yu adjusted his mood and said politely, "I am Qiao Yu!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and then Chu Xixuan seemed to ask the other person, "Is your phone battery dead? How did Qiao Yu call me?"
Then I heard that familiar female voice: "You forgot, she is your assistant, not mine. She is looking for you!"
Qiao Yu instantly felt so angry that his teeth itched: It turned out to be that bitch Lan Ziye!
"Is there something wrong?" Chu Xixuan's cold voice came again.
Qiao Yu was at a loss for a moment, then she calmed down and said, "It's like this, I saw your car parked in front of the skyscraper, and you have some work to do..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Chu Xixuan interrupt impatiently on the other end of the phone: "Contact Chu Xining for work matters!"
Before Qiao Yu could respond, the phone was hung up.
Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment as he looked at the hung up phone. When he looked up, he saw the contemptuous eyes of the manager and the staff member.
The manager put on a fake smile and said, "Miss, Master Chu doesn't seem willing to let you in. Please don't embarrass us!" After a pause, he continued, "How about this: if you really want to come in for a meal, come tomorrow. I'll give you a 5% discount. Is that okay?"
Qiao Yu felt resentful in her heart: let alone a 95% discount, she couldn't even afford it if it was half off.
Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Well... I really need to talk to Master Chu about something. Could you please let me in? I'll just sit in the lobby on the first floor and wait. How about that, I won't disturb Master Chu at all?"
The manager's fake smile faded. He suppressed it and said seriously, "Miss, Master Chu made it very clear on the phone just now that he didn't let you in. We really can't let you in! We're closing now, please leave!"
Qiao Yu's face darkened and he asked unhappily, "Do you know who it is?"
"We have seen many people like you. Not to mention whether you are the eldest son's assistant, we are not sure. Even if you are, can you compare with the young lady?" the manager said sarcastically.
