He looked around and tightened the straps of his backpack. He was about to turn around and leave, but the dean's mission was not completed yet. It would be bad to go back.
Helplessly, he turned to the lady at the counter and said, "Can you please inform me that it was the dean of the Licheng Orphanage who asked someone to deliver the letter? Master Huo went to our orphanage yesterday, but he was in a hurry.
I haven’t had time to thank him yet.”
The lady at the counter seemed to be getting more and more impatient, lowering her head as if she was deliberately busy, and ignoring Xuan Ruoxi. Xuan Ruoxi stood a little awkwardly, and there were other people coming around.
"Hello, I made an appointment with Mr. Huo today. This is my business card." Just when Xuan Ruoxi was wondering what to do, a young man in casual clothes came over and stretched out his hand from her side.
, handed the counter lady a business card.
When the lady at the counter saw the visitor, she immediately smiled and saluted respectfully.
"It turns out to be Mr. Yu. Where do you need to make an appointment? Please go up. This is the elevator card." The man took the elevator card and smiled confoundingly: "Thank you very much, Miss." The man was frivolous.
It made the lady at the counter laugh so hard.
Xuan Ruoxi looked at the elevator card in the man's hand eagerly. It turned out that it was not that she did not make a reservation, but that she was not a noble person.
She felt a little angry for no reason. She had already seen through the warmth and coldness of human relationships, but at this moment she couldn't help but feel chilled.
It turns out that people are snobbish, regardless of national boundaries and geography, and this is still the case even though thousands of years have passed.
"Does this young lady want to come with you?" Xuan Ruoxi looked at the strange man who blinked at him in astonishment.
"Uh, Mr. Yu, she doesn't have an appointment!" the lady at the counter said anxiously.
Xuan Ruoxi pursed her lips, then smiled calmly and said, "Okay." Her smile fascinated Mr. Yu.
All the ladies went to Mr. Huo's area first, and until they entered the reception room, he was still showing off his attentiveness.
"I would like to ask, how old is Miss this year?"
"You cannot tell a woman's age at will." Xuan Ruoxi's docile answer left Yu Shaoqing speechless for a moment.
The relationship didn't get much heat along the way.
At this time, the door of the reception room was opened, and a man in a straight suit walked in. Xuan Ruoxi had seen him before, and he was Mr. Huo's assistant.
"Mr. Yu, I'm really sorry. Mr. Huo is currently talking to the old man. I'm afraid I won't be able to receive you for a while."
"Oh, the old man is here? That's just right. I haven't seen him for a long time. Go and let him know that I'm here. Can you pay a visit to him?" Yu Shaoqing's words surprised Xuan Ruoxi. It turned out that he
There is also a side that understands etiquette.
Mr. Huo's assistant obviously also noticed Xuan Ruoxi, "This lady is ---"
"Hello, I am Xuan Ruoxi from Xifuyuan. I was entrusted by the dean to express my gratitude."
"Xifuyuan? Oh, I'll go and tell you, but why are you here together?" The assistant was confused, pointing at Yu Shaoqing and then at her.
Xuan Ruoxi was a little at a loss and didn't know what to say. Yu Shaoqing rolled his eyes, saw her troubled expression, and immediately explained: "Oh, I think this young lady is so beautiful, she must be a good person, so I will take you along.
Coming up. You know--"
The assistant received Yu Shaoqing's warning look and immediately understood. Although he had no choice but to nod. He couldn't afford to offend this man.
"Okay then, I'll just report it together." After saying that, he walked out of the reception room. Xuan Ruoxi sat down awkwardly, crossing her hands on her knees, looking slightly nervous.
"It turns out she's from Xifuyuan! I've admired her for a long time." Xuan Ruoxi, that's her name!
"Mr. Yu, do you know about Xifuyuan?" When someone asked, he naturally had to answer politely.
"Of course I know, I even donated money!" Yu Shaoqing said and sat on the chair next to her.
"Really? Then I would like to thank you on behalf of the children of Xifuyuan." Xuan Ruoxi stood up immediately and bowed deeply to him.
"Uh, don't be like this?" This was the first time that Yu Shaoqing was thanked like this by a woman. He was the eldest son of the Yu Family Group. There were many people who nodded and bowed to him. Women would only throw themselves at him, like Xuan Ruo.
It's a pity that this is the first one.
Just when he was stunned, the door of the reception room opened again.
The person who came in was Assistant Huo Shao.
"Mr. Yu, Miss Xuan, the old man asked me to take you two to Mr. Huo's office."
"Then let's go." Yu Shaoqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't even know how to talk to her.
Mr. Huo's office is located in the largest part of the top floor of a high-rise building. In addition to the reception room, there is also a private conference room. There is a separate lounge, bathroom and changing room inside the office. Every time he works overtime, he spends the night in the lounge.
When Xuan Ruoxi walked into the office, she was filled with admiration from the bottom of her heart, and the flash of surprise in her eyes was also caught by Huo Jiyun who happened to look up at her. A hint of smile appeared in his deep eyes.
When Xuan Ruoxi was looking at the huge office, others were also looking at her. Yu Shaoqing was looking at it secretly, Huo Jiyun was looking at it intently, and the old man was looking at it up and down.
"Is this Miss Ruoxi from Xifuyuan?" Xuan Ruoxi followed a majestic voice that sounded a bit old.
I saw an old man sitting in a wheelchair. He had gray hair, sharp eyes, and a ruddy complexion.
"Hello, Mr. Huo, I am Xuan Ruoxi. We met at the museum."
"Well, come and sit."
The old man seemed quite kind, looking at her with a smile from the corner of his eyes. Xuan Ruoxi took a few steps respectfully and sat down gracefully on the single sofa opposite them.
Today she wore long pants for convenience, so that she could move freely wherever she went.
"You are a little different from what you looked like that day!" the old man said and laughed.
His narrowed eyes made Xuan Ruoxi feel that he was even more approachable.
"Today I am here to send a letter of thanks for your willingness to help the orphanage. I thank you on behalf of all the children in the orphanage." Xuan Ruoxi said, stood up and bowed deeply to the old man.
The old man was even more satisfied in his eyes. This girl is neither coquettish nor arrogant, and has no pretense. She is decent and generous in her words and deeds, just like a lady. She has been in the shopping mall all her life and has never seen anyone. This girl in front of her is a real person.
Xuan Ruoxi didn't know that her actions made all the men present look at her with admiration.
Huo Jiyun lowered his eyes. He did not think that his grandfather was a casual and kind person.
There is an old saying: Jiang is still smarter when he is old, but Yu Shaoqing has seen another side of the old man. He has a feeling that this young lady is going to be lucky.
The old man didn't stay long. Before leaving, he gave Huo Jiyun a meaningful look.
Huo Jiyun groaned secretly, he knew that this grandfather could not let him live in peace.
Sure enough, a few days later, Dean Xuan was invited by the old man of the Huo family.
The Huo family's luxury private car drove all the way from the villa to Xifuyuan, and then from Xifuyuan back to the villa.
The person who got out of the car was Xuan Minru, the director of the propaganda department, and Xuan Ruoxi came with him.
Today is the weekend, and there are several volunteers in the courtyard, so they can go out together without worries.
"Director Xuan, Miss Xuan, you are here. The old man has been waiting in the living room for a long time."
The Huo family's butler was a middle-aged man in his fifties. He was ordered by the old man to greet them at the door.
"Thank you, Butler Fu, this is Ruoxi! Ruoxi, this is Butler Fu." Butler Fu and Dean Xuan have known each other for a long time, so they are familiar with each other. This donation was also made with his help.
