Chapter 469 - Dreamland (2/2)

Considering how Han Lu was most likely in some danger at this moment, Zhang Heng did not waste any time. He walked out of the community, reached out to hail a cab, and headed to the central business district where most of the office buildings were located.

Han Lu had leased an office in the most expensive area to welcome enthusiastic entrepreneurs who wished to work with her. She had a large professional team, each responsible for juggling legal issues, a.n.a.lyzing project feasibility, and taking over project management when necessary. Zhang Heng registered at the reception desk downstairs, and the receptionist politely informed him that Han Lu wasn’t in right now. The young girl smiled sweetly. After all, she couldn’t know if the ordinarily-dressed bald man she welcomed today would become a billionaire tomorrow. At the same time, he noticed that the girl’s hands were hidden under the table, playing a mobile game.

This showed that Han Lu must have known about her receptionist’s behavior at work.

Zhang Heng spent half a second feeling sorry for the receptionist. “So, any idea where Han Lu could be?”

The girl shook her head. “Sorry, I have no idea what Ms. Han’s schedule is. Did you make an appointment in advance?”

Zhang Heng waved his mobile phone in front of her. “I have an urgent matter to discuss with her. But since my mobile phone has no signal, I cannot contact her.”

The receptionist should be the same age as Zhang Heng. She relaxed a little and stuck her tongue out. “My phone has been out of signal too, for two hours, in fact! It’s just so strange. Thanks to that, I didn’t get to have breakfast. I don’t have cash with me, and I attempted to win a rice ball at the convenience store. Yeah, I failed.”

While the two were talking, the lights suddenly dimmed. Both in officewear, a man and a woman held their coffees as they curiously looked at something near the French window.

Zhang Heng walked over and saw that a vast cloud had now hidden the sun behind it.

“Is it going to rain?” asked the office guy.

“Ah, this is so annoying. Why does it always have to rain on the day I don’t bring my umbrella?!” complained his colleague beside him.

“Don’t worry. The rain won’t last long. Besides, I can drive you home when we get off work.”

“Ugh, elementary flirting. How cliche. I’m no fresh-grad, man,” sneered the lady.

“Wow, we are sensitive, aren’t we? I was just trying to help a colleague.”

“I don’t care what your intentions are. Office romance is on top of Ms. Han’s hate-list. I’m more than satisfied with this job and current income. I still have two houses to pay for. You should try your advances on someone else.”
