Chief Editor Zhou gave them two weeks to settle the interview. A week had passed, yet He Zimin had a firm attitude and would not speak up any time soon.
Shen Youran and Qiu Shaoze proceeded to Chief Editor Zhou’s office and wanted to tell her about this matter.
Before the two of them went in, they had already mentally prepared themselves and was ready to receive her scoldings. Yet they never thought the Chief Editor Zhou would look at them in bewilderment as she closed the magazine booklet in her hands and said, “Mayor He has already agreed to the interview. Didn’t you know?”
The two people widened their eyes in astonishment. Shen Youran thought that she had heard wrongly and looked at Qiu Shaoze. But upon seeing Qiu Shaoze’s surprised expression, she knew that she had heard correctly.
The two people walked out of Chief Editor Zhou’s office in an unimaginable state.
Qiu Shaoze could not get it. “Was Mayor He crazy?”
Shen Youran wanted to know as well. Yesterday, she had utterly offended Mayor He and he was very firm in rejecting the interview. It was already something to be grateful for that she did not receive his lawyer’s letter, so why did he suddenly change his mind?
Seeing her troubled look, Qiu Shaoze went closer to her in a secretive manner and asked, “Could it be that your brother-in-law helped us?”
Shen Youran heaved a sigh, but seeing Qiu Shaoze staring at her, she acted as if nothing happened and smiled. “You wish! He is the president of a large company. How would he have the time to care about such small matters?”
Qiu Shaoze stuck out his tongue at her and proceeded back to his seat to prepare for the interview of Mayor He.
For the whole afternoon, Shen Youran was not in the mood to do her work and was a little absent-minded. She took her phone from the table and walked to the passageway outside. She found a quiet place and typed in that person’s cell phone number with nimble fingers.
As she stared at the bunch of numbers on the screen, she hesitated again. In the end, she had no courage to call that number.
…
Shen Youran looked at the tall building before taking a paper bag and entering the Zhong Sheng Corporation. The receptionist was on the phone and motioned to her to wait for a while.
She waited momentarily before the receptionist ended the call and gave her a smile. She said, “May I ask who you are…?”
She smiled. “I’m here to look for President Ji.”
She had just spoken when the receptionist’s smile stiffened. She sized her up with an indiscernible gaze.
Shen Youran calmly let her size her up and did not show any hint of impatience.
With Ji Jinchuan’s social status, there must be many women who came to the company to find him, so the receptionist must have thought her to be the same as them.
After she looked at her, being a staff member of a large company, the receptionist did not show any contempt or frustration. She only retracted her smile and asked her in a professional manner, “Do you have an appointment with him?”
Shen Youran shook her head and wanted to speak, but the receptionist was a step faster and said, “Sorry, you can’t meet President Ji without an appointment.”
She placed the paper bag on the table and calmly said, “I never said I wanted to see President Ji. Please pass this to him.”
The receptionist was a little hesitant. “If it is any valuable thing, please pass it to him personally.”
She gave a gentle smile. “They’re just clothes.”
The receptionist then took the bag. After Shen Youran left, she looked inside the bag and saw that there was an exquisite suit inside it.
Although it was in a common black color, one could see that it was high-quality clothing.
She recalled that Ji Jinchuan had worn these clothes before as the buttons were very unique with a beautiful amber color.
