Chapter 150 - 150: 150: Be polite, especially to the future CEO’ s wife
“Could you please notify the president’s office? I’m here to see Mr. Li,” she said.
The receptionist’s attitude changed 180 degrees, and with a beaming smile, she picked up the phone in front of her and politely told the visitor, “Miss Shen, please wait, I’ll contact the secretary to check if Mr. Li is in a meeting.”
“Mmm,” Shen Siyuan responded while waiting for the call, idly glancing around. Her eyes inadvertently caught sight of Rong Yan.
Although Rong Yan was dressed simply, her face was enough to attract attention.
She couldn’t help but take another curious glance, noticing the takeout food container in Rong Yan’s hand.
Unfortunately, before she could take a closer look, the receptionist had hung up the phone and said, “Miss Shen, Mr. Li isn’t busy. There’s just half an hour before his next meeting, so I’ll take you up.”
Shen Siyuan withdrew her gaze and smiled faintly at the eager receptionist,
“Thank you for your trouble.”
“Not at all. Please follow me,” the receptionist said, almost writing ‘eager to please’ across her face as she put aside her work to lead her towards the elevator…
Shen Siyuan nodded and smiled at the other two receptionists, gracefully following the one leading the way.
The receptionists watched her walk away until she was out of sight, then clasped their hands over their hearts, their eyes filled with envy.
“That must be Miss Shen who grew up with Mr. Li, right? She’s even more beautiful in person than in photos. Not only does Miss Shen come from a distinguished family, but she’s also a talented designer, and she’s so friendly and polite. How can there be such a perfect person in this world…”
Another receptionist nudged her with an elbow, her eyes also full of envy, “That’s why you shouldn’t even think about it-! A man like our president only matches with a woman like her. Haven’t there been rumors lately that our president has a woman by his side? And just as Miss Shen returns to the country. It seems their guess was right; Miss Shen is the one! We’re about to have a Mrs. President, ah, what a charmed life, so envious-”
Rong Yan stood there, completely ignored by them, and coughed awkwardly to interrupt their gossip, saying softly, “Ahem, didn’t you just contact the reception earlier, and Mr. Li happens to be free? Um, could you please pass on a message for me to Mr. Li saying that Miss Rong is waiting for him downstairs?”
The receptionist had seen tactless people before, but never this tactless! Her brows furrowed, and she replied with extreme impatience, “Didn’t I tell you that without an appointment, you can’t see the president? You don’t have an appointment; how can I contact the president for you? Our president is very busy, not just anyone can see him! Please don’t make it difficult for us!”
Her words were extremely rude, even violating the company’s rules and regulations. The receptionist beside her quietly tugged at her sleeve, attempting to smooth things over with a forced smile at Rong Yan, “I’m sorry, miss, without an appointment, it’s difficult for us to contact the president for you. Look, how about this, you could try calling Mr. Li yourself, or you can wait over there in the resting area. Mr. Li might pass by when he leaves work.”
“Why bother telling her all that?” said the previously impolite receptionist, clearly annoyed.
Clearly, this woman was just another one trying to throw herself at people. Ha, thinking they can approach their president while holding a cheap box of takeout! There were no pleasantries owed to that kind of woman! If they were to be courteous, it was to the future Mrs. President, Miss Shen!
The other receptionist lowered her voice, stopping her, “Enough, say no more..”
