Ran Xueyi looked at Director Xiao and saw each other's meaning in their eyes. They were both confused but also curious about the reason behind Fan Ning's tears.
The group stood up to leave the office, leaving Fan Ning to cry alone.
Director Xiao felt awkward after seeing a woman cry in front of him. As a man, he naturally has a soft spot for a woman's tears. He couldn't help but feel bothered and excused himself to go ahead of them.
Standing alone in the corridor, Ran Xueyi was also deep in her thoughts.
Adelle was bothered by her silence and was worried that Ran Xueyi was thinking of the consequences of her sudden confession when she received Guo Yun's call.
"Guo Yun? Is there something you need?" Adelle said as soon as their call connected.
"Is Ran Xueyi there with you? She's not answering her phone so the Boss asked me to call you," Guo Yun told her.
Hearing this, Adelle handed the phone to Ran Xueyi and said, "It's your husband's secretary."
Guo Yun? Why did he call? Ran Xueyi wondered before saying, "I'm here... what happened?"
Guo Yun: "The boss couldn't reach your phone so he had me call Adelle. Wait a moment, I'll transfer the phone to the boss."
Ran Xueyi waited for a bit before hearing the chocolatey, deep voice of Song Yu Han, saying, "Are you alright? You didn't answer my call after making such an announcement. Nothing bad happened, right?"
Song Yu Han was most afraid of Ran Xueyi experiencing a backlash after her announcement. He would feel extremely guilty if she ended up being mobbed by her fans outside of his own company.
Ran Xueyi felt warmed by his words and comforted him, "I'm alright. Don't worry about me. I'm still at your company, what could possibly happen to me?"
Song Yu Han was relieved to hear this before saying, "Come up to the president's office. I'll wait for you here."
"Ah?"
The call disconnected before Ran Xueyi could comprehend what he had just said.
Seeing her reaction, Adelle asked, "What did your husband say?"
Ran Xueyi raised her head and looked at her: "He... he told me to come up to the president's office."
"Huh?" Adelle was also bewildered and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes..." Ran Xueyi nodded.
...
Afterwards, Ran Xueyi and Adelle went to enter the elevator once again to go to the president's office.
When they reached their destination, a female assistant was sitting behind the desk and told them, "I think you're on the wrong floor. This is the president's office. If you're looking for the audition room, it's on the 3rd floor of this building."
The female assistant saw that Ran Xueyi's face was too beautiful and immediately thought that she was an actress who was hoping to be part of Moonlight's list of celebrities signed under them.
Everyday, there were about a hundred people who wanted to audition for the company. Sadly, not many got in and almost everyone was rejected.
Ran Xueyi was not there to audition and replied, "I'm here to meet the president."
The female assistant looked at Ran Xueyi for a bit before saying in an annoyed tone, "The president? I don't know where you got the news from or who told you, but he's not here."
She had a similar conversation about the president everyday. This method was almost boring her to death. Most of the actresses and actors who came to audition would either pretend they got lost just to see if they could 'accidentally' encounter the mysterious president. Some even faked an appointment and tried to get in. There were also those types who flaunted their background and threatened to have her fired if she didn't let them meet the president.
Of course, their intentions are way too obvious. They just wanted to gain some bit of favor from the president.
Lots of the people who got 'lost', threatened, and faked their way into this floor were jealous of her because she could work under the president and see him everyday.
But the truth couldn't even be so dark and deceiving!
Since the day she was hired and placed there to attend to the guests who left the elevator on this floor, the number of times she had seen the president could only be country with one hand, okay!
Was she lucky? Yes, she got into one of the most prestigious entertainment companies in the country and her monthly income was thrice the amount she could get from her previous job.
But actually, all her training has gone to waste!
She turned into an elevator guardian who threw the uninvited guests out of the floor.
The female assistant looked at Ran Xueyi with an expression filled with judgment and added, "Miss, you and manager should just focus on your career. Don't think about what you cannot reach and get. It's better if you don't become like those other actresses and actors who wasted their life regretting their decisions."
Ran Xueyi didn't think that she would suddenly receive advice from the female assistant. She was also confused why the female assistant had to say that to her.
Adelle, on the other hand, was flabbergasted. "You..."
Miss assistant, why don't you worry about yourself instead of us? I think you might have to say goodbye to your job after today!
The female assistant was proud of herself after making such a speech and waited for them to leave when the elevator suddenly opened, revealing two men inside.
The female assistant's soul shuddered and almost escaped her body when she saw the familiar face of the president and hurried over to them.
"Pre...president! I didn't know you would come today!" Then, she remembered that there were still two uninvited people on the floor and turned towards them to chase them out before the president got angry at the sight of them.
Just then, the female beauty walked up to the president's side and hooked her arm around his.
The female assistant was scared to death and was too late to warn her.
But then, she heard Ran Xueyi say: "What took you so long?"
...
Poisonlily has something: Lighting candles for the female assistant.
