Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Mrs. Sheng, When Asking for Help, One Should Have the Proper Attitude
Sheng Shaochen furrowed his brow and lifted his hand to check his watch; it had been exactly twenty minutes since he had given Ye Shu the address.
Sheng Shaochen’s face turned grim as he stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window again to dial Ye Shu’s cell phone.
To his surprise, the phone indicated that it had been turned off.
A deep frown formed between Sheng Shaochen’s eyebrows.
What games was this little woman playing?
“Waiting for someone?” An Zhe ventured to ask.
Sheng Shaochen put away his phone, “Let’s go!”
His tone was distinctly displeased, a low pressure enveloping him.
Though An Zhe couldn’t quite read Sheng Shaochen, he was familiar with his temperament; it must be no small matter or person that could depress his mood so significantly.
He still remembered, the first time Sheng Shaochen picked up the phone, a woman’s voice could faintly be heard on the other end, but it was not one he recognized.
Though An Zhe wasn’t as nosy as Sun Nanjue, curiosity still got the better of him.
What kind of woman could it be that mattered to Sheng Shaochen who had such a severe phobia of women, other than ‘that’ woman? Could there be a second one? What exactly would she be like?
The two took the exclusive elevator down to the basement level.
They sat in the back seat of the car side by side.
Guan Jiu drove the car out of the parking lot, heading for the Rose Residence.
Throughout the journey, Sheng Shaochen maintained a stony face, occasionally glancing at his phone screen as if waiting for a call.
An Zhe purposefully turned his gaze toward the window to avoid awkwardness.
At this time, the road was sparse with vehicles, ensuring a smooth ride.
Sheng Shaochen’s mood grew increasingly heavy.
The drive from City First Hospital to Shengshi Group Headquarters, without traffic congestion, took just over ten minutes.
Yet, Ye Shu had taken over twenty minutes and still hadn’t arrived!
It seemed like he had been too indulgent with her, allowing her to become spoiled and arrogant?
Sheng Shaochen pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and at the moment the smoke began to curl, he unlocked his phone and sent a message directly to Ye Shu’s phone, “Mrs. Sheng, when asking for a favor, one should at least show the courtesy required!”
After that, he also turned off his phone, leaned back against the car seat, and smoked sullenly.
An Zhe discreetly lowered the car window a bit.
The wind at ten in the morning in July brought with it a sweltering heat that was frustratingly maddening.
Sheng Shaochen frowned, stubbed out the cigarette, and closed his eyes to rest.
An Zhe glanced at him, hesitated to speak, and finally slowly wound the window back up.
Fifteen minutes after Sheng Shaochen’s car had left, Ye Shu hurriedly arrived at Shengshi Group Headquarters.
After paying for her ride, she rushed toward the Shengshi Group building.
Although the journey from Shengjing Garden to Shengshi Group was smooth, the distance was rather far, and it had taken Ye Shu over half an hour to get there.
Little did she know, by that time, Sheng Shaochen had already left and was on his way to the Rose Residence.
Ye Shu ran all the way to the reception hall on the first floor.
She straightened her raven wave-curled long hair in the mirror by the revolving door, grabbed her handbag, and pushed through the door.
From afar, the receptionist saw Ye Shu dressed casually and immediately approached her, blocking her way, “Excuse me, miss, whom are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?”
“Yes, I have an appointment with your president Sheng. What floor is he on?” Ye Shu replied while walking towards the elevator.
“May I have your name, please? And the time of your appointment with President Sheng?”
“My surname is Ye, Ye Shu.”
The receptionist turned back to check the appointment records and stopped Ye Shu, “I’m sorry, but there is no registration of your appointment. Please leave.”
Ye Shu was stunned for a moment before she realized and accepted that for a multinational corporation like Shengshi Group, strict security was normal.
She turned around and looked at the receptionist, “Could I borrow a charger? I need to make a call to your President Sheng.”
