184 NOT IN DEMAND (2/2)
Downstairs, a woman in a flaming red business suit faced the team of front desk receptionists. She was not an unfamiliar face in the building. However, she was transferred from the Zhong Industries headquarters, but no one really knew where she went.
”Miss Lu, I did not know that you were coming by today. What are you up to these days?” One of the three asked with a pleasant smile.
This person seemed friendly, but there were thorns in her words. The casual disregard could be attributed to the rumours which circulated in the office. Apparently, this woman had been chased out in disgrace because of some inappropriate behaviour.
”I am now the manager of the southern construction project for the new resort. I am here to report some urgent matters.” She declared with pride. How could a mere receptionist even dare to look down at her?
The three people looked at her with surprise and suspicion. Why did all this seem a little familiar? Was it déjà vu? No, that's not right. Three people could not have this type of experience together.
”Did you say that you are coming to report about the southern construction project?” The same woman asked.
”Some problems have arisen, so we cannot afford delays.” The response was full of warning and a lot of annoyance.
The three people looked at each other in confusion. This speech was almost similar to the one San Shi had given when she had gone up, not too long ago. Therefore, one of the two women was lying. They felt cold sweat cover their bodies.
”Can we see your company ID?” The other woman asked.
Miss Lu proudly took out the ID from her equally flaming red bag. Even though she was disgruntled that she was no longer recognised without formal identification, she could at least shove the document in their faces.
With this, the three realised that they had been cheated by San Shi. However, they did not panic.
”Do you have a subordinate known as San Shi?”
Miss Lu frowned as she realised the implications. ”I have never heard of such a person. Could it be that someone has entered while claiming to be from my project? How can you be so careless? Didn't you verify their identification?”
Her shrew-like voice seemed to cut through their brains like a chainsaw. Even if they had messed up, she did not have the authority to lecture them.
”Please focus on your job, Miss Lu. You can go ahead and make your report.” The tone was cold.
Unfortunately, there was nothing that she could do except go ahead. However, she felt that this also presented her with an opportunity. Her red lips lifted upwards as she thought about that handsome man. She had fallen for him since the day he had come into Zhong Industries to take over.
She had sworn that he would fall in love with her. As a beautiful woman, she did not believe that there was a man who could resist her charms, just ones who were a little more stubborn. Moreover, she liked a challenge.
