Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Li Beijue Doesnât See Her?
This idiot!
Canât he even offer a word of advice?
Li Beijueâs head throbbed painfully as he looked at his secretary shrinking back in fear, which only stirred his irritation. With a darkened face, he growled, âGet out!â
Confused by the scolding he received for no apparent reason, the secretary lowered his head and carefully made his way out, even pulling the door closed behind him.
Shit! Li Beijue felt stifled as if a breath was caught in his chest, and in a fit of rage, he grabbed a file from his office desk and flung it.
Bang!
The thick file folder struck the door, and papers flew out, scattering all over the floorâ
The secretary who had just stepped out heard the sound of something being thrown inside and regretted even more his impulsive entrance. He rubbed his stiffened cheek muscles and adjusted his expression before walking towards the receptionâ¦
Chi Enen saw him come out and quickly stood up.
The secretaryâs attitude had cooled considerably, but he still said politely, âIâm sorry Miss Chi, the president says he doesnât have time to see you.â
Li Beijue didnât have time to see her? Chi Enen furrowed her brows, her bright eyes puzzled, âIs he in a meeting?â
âThat⦠Iâm sorry, but I cannot disclose that information.â
With the secretaryâs attitude, if Chi Enen couldnât see what was happening, she would be a fool.
It seemed it wasnât that Li Beijue was too busy to see her, he simply didnât want to see her at all!
Chi Enen felt as if her heart had been stung by a bee, an indescribable feeling. She forced a smile and said, âIâm sorry for putting you in a difficult position.â
Her clean and delicate oval face looked pale, making her appear even more pitiable.
The secretary suddenly felt a twinge of remorse, wondering if his tone had been too harsh just now.
Chi Enen had already adjusted her mindset, her gaze becoming much firmer, âThat⦠may I sit there and wait?â
âThat⦠thereâs no company rule against waiting,â he pondered for a moment, âYou can wait if youâd like, but Iâm afraidâ¦â
Iâm afraid you might wait and still not see anyone.
Chi Enen understood what he left unsaid, âItâs okay, I just want to wait and see.â
âAlright, as you wish,â the secretary relented.
Chi Enen sat back down gratefully, clutching the thermos bucket in her hand, her head bowed, and the hair on either side of her face falling down, which only accentuated her refined and ethereal beautyâ¦
She ended up waiting for half an hour.
The secretary had already left to attend to other matters when suddenly, the Internal Line Telephone rang. Seeing that it was the CEOâs Office calling, he quickly answered, âHello, President Liâ¦â
He suddenly looked up at the little lady sitting quietly there and responded into the receiver with a murmur, âMhm⦠yes⦠let me check⦠Miss Chi is still here waiting, would you like to see her, President Li?â
No sooner had he finished speaking than the phone was hung up on the other end.
The secretary was left completely baffled.
What was President Liâs intention? He called to ask if Miss Chi was still there and upon knowing she was, he didnât say whether he wanted to see her or not before hanging up. Did he want to see her, or not? If he wanted to see her, President Li would have told him to let Miss Chi in. If he didnât want to see her, why make this call in the first place?
Unable to make heads or tails of it, he decided not to think about it and continued with his workâ¦
While he was busy, several trash cans in the office suffered.
Damn, that woman must think heâd be too heartbroken, right?! Convinced that he couldnât bear to have her wait for long and that he would definitely see her!
Li Beijue glared at the Internal Line Telephone as if it were his archenemy, his hands bracing against the office desk as he gasped for air.
After a long while, he reached out and picked up the Internal Line Telephone again, calling the Secretary Office. As soon as they answered, he ordered with a stern face, âLet her in.â
