Chapter 13 (2/2)

“His name is Gong Yexiao. Aunt, can you take me to see him?” The little boy implored wearing a pitiable expression.

“Heavens! He looks just like President Gong. Just like two peas in a pod!”

“You're the Gong family's young master? Why isn't your bodyguard with you?” The receptionist was puzzled.

“I don't like to be escorted. I told them to wait outside. Aunt, I want to meet my uncle. Please take me up to see him!” His face which bore a striking resemblance to Gong Yexiao's helped lend credence to his story. His bright and intelligent eyes were simply too captivating.

One of the receptionists walked around the front desk having every intention of grasping this opportunity. “Okay, I'll take you there.”

It was a privilege to be of service to a relative of President Gong. Moreover, there might even be a chance for her to catch a glimpse of President Gong!

He joyfully took her hand as they walked into the elevator. The exuberant little boy was elated that his plan of brus.h.i.+ng face had worked.

“Little kiddo, what's your name?” The receptionist stooped down to study him carefully.

“I'm called Gong Yuze.” The little boy told a barefaced lie. All he needed to do now was to appear before Gong Yexiao so that he could pa.s.s mommy's résumé to him.

“What a nice name!” The receptionist had no doubt at all. This little fellow had a face similar to Gong Yexiao's.

The elevator went all the way up and stopped when it reached the sixtieth floor. The kid promptly committed this to memory and then scampered after her.

As they were walking through the lofty hallway, they were abruptly stopped by a woman dressed in a dark suit who appeared highly competent.

“What's the matter?”

“h.e.l.lo, a.s.sistant Yan. This is President Gong's little nephew. I've brought him up.” The receptionist beamed.

a.s.sistant Yan's gaze settled on the child. With brows knitted in a frown, she asked, “You're President Gong's nephew?”
