Chapter 465: Chapter 485: Isn’t it the Big Star Rong Weiwei?
 

Ten minutes later, Gu Ming accompanied her to find the mall.

Rong Yan headed directly to the fresh produce section with a shopping basket in hand.

The mall was huge, and the fresh produce section had everything from vegetables to seafood.

But considering someone’s injury, Rong Yan didn’t dare to choose seafood and headed straight to the fish section instead. She asked the owner for a grass carp to be sliced thinly, then she went to buy glutinous rice, green onions, and pork liver, among other things.

Gu Ming had wanted to help, but Rong Yan’s movements were so skilled and efficient that he never found an opportunity to lend a hand.

Only when everything was bought did he find the chance to go ahead and bring the car around.

After Rong Yan paid for the groceries and picked up a box of cherries, she checked her card balance on her phone’s notification and felt the ache in her heart.

Earn money, earn money.

She really needed to start earning money!

Otherwise, she was going to be so poor that she couldn’t even afford green onions!

…

Inside Hengtong Company.

Starting from noon, the female employees were all dolled up with exquisite makeup—even those who rarely wore it had touched up with some lipstick. Under the company’s tense atmosphere of brewing turmoil, the women’s hearts were secretly fluttering with excitement.

“Did you guys see that earlier? Mr. Li and a woman seemed very familiar with each other.”

“I saw it too, that woman looked like Mr. Li’s girlfriend. Sigh, I was thinking about making a move, but it seems there’s no chance now.”

The few women at the reception desk were initially downcast as they discussed the scene they had just witnessed outside when, all of a sudden.

The company’s door opened with a sound.

“Someone is coming.” The receptionists quickly set aside their gossip, putting on professional smiles as they looked towards the entering group, “Hello, welcome to Hengtong, how may I assist you today?”

The group that entered comprised of a pot-bellied middle-aged man, a person dressed like a secretary, and a beautifully-dressed woman wearing Bvlgari’s latest model of the year.

The receptionists couldn’t help but take several glances.

They immediately recognized the beautiful woman they thought was stunning.

Wasn’t that the female celebrity, Rong Weiwei?

The few were still immersed in wonder about why a celebrity had come to their company when the secretary-looking person came forward, impatiently demanding, “Call your manager for me, tell them the district chief is here.”

This man is the district chief?

The reception widened her eyes in surprise, not daring to delay, and quickly called the secretary’s office with an internal line, explaining the situation. After putting down the receiver, she smiled and said, “Hello, our manager will be down shortly, please wait a moment.”

The group of three waited for more than ten minutes before someone finally came leisurely out of the elevator.

The latecomer briskly walked over, greeted the middle-aged man with a handshake, and immediately apologized with a smile, “District Chief Qu, I’m really sorry. Mr. Li was in a meeting just now and I wasn’t able to come down. I kept you waiting.”

The man, who had been visibly impatient, managed to hide his displeasure upon hearing this and said graciously, “I haven’t been waiting long, Manager Ai is too polite.”

After exchanging pleasantries for a moment, he seemed unable to wait any longer and said, “I heard Mr. Li has arrived in Lin City, is he upstairs?”

The previous executive had been involved in bribery and embezzlement, secretly funneling company funds, and jumped out of fear when it was discovered. He had also been involved. Had this person not arrived, he wouldn’t have been so anxious, but now that Mr. Li was personally handling the matter, how could he not worry.

So upon hearing the news, he had hurried over.

“Mr. Li is upstairs.”

Qu Linjun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Then, is Mr. Li available right now? If it’s convenient, could you introduce me to him?”

“This…” The manager looked troubled.

Qu Linjun gave him a glance, his smile fading as he raised his chin, “What, is it inconvenient?”

Given the other’s status, even if the manager wasn’t keen to help, he had to keep smiling due to not wanting to offend him and said, “How could it be inconvenient when District Chief Qu honors us with his visit? I should certainly introduce you to Mr. Li, it’s just that he has just arrived and I’m not sure if he has the time…”
