In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight pierced the horizon from east to west, Su Mingzheng had already driven away from Suzhou and Hangzhou, heading towards Jiangzhong City.
He wasn't joking with Su Bingzhi yesterday; he really planned to go, and he hadn't informed Mei Hanqing in advance either.
Regarding this, Mei Hanqing was completely unaware that Su Mingzheng had left Suzhou and Hangzhou to visit her in Jiangzhong City!
Today, Mei Hanqing, as usual, got up, made some breakfast, ate it, and then went to work at the company.
Although her identity as the Su family's young lady had been exposed, this hadn't affected Mei Hanqing much. She still lived a nine-to-five routine every day, just as before.
Upon arriving at the company, Mei Hanqing turned on her computer and began her work.
The position of PR manager seems leisurely, but in fact, it's not. Mei Hanqing has to handle many documents every day.
Just like always, Mei Hanqing first opened her mailbox and started browsing through the emails sent by her subordinates.
Time flies by like sand slipping through fingers, swiftly passing unnoticed.
It was soon noon, time for lunch, when suddenly the phone on Mei Hanqing's desk rang.
The phone ringing pulled Mei Hanqing's full attention back to reality, and she immediately picked up the phone to answer!
"Ms. Mei, there's an elderly gentleman in the lobby who wants to see you, but he doesn't have an appointment..."
Upon hearing the call from the receptionist, Mei Hanqing furrowed her brows slightly, an elder?
Could it be the old dean?
But if it were the old dean, he wouldn't have someone at the front desk call instead.
"What is his surname?"
"This elderly gentleman didn't say, but he insists on seeing you today..."
Seeing the receptionist explain , Mei Hanqing didn't ask more: "Let him come to my office!"
The receptionist surely asked the elderly man's surname, but he didn't say, otherwise she wouldn't be telling this, so Mei Hanqing didn't inquire further.
After hanging up the phone, Mei Hanqing put down her work, filled with countless doubts. Fresh chapters posted on novel✦fire.net
Who is coming to see her?
And it's an elderly man.
Besides the old dean, she hasn't interacted with other elderly people much?
As Mei Hanqing puzzled over this, someone knocked on the office door from outside!
"Knock knock knock..."
Upon hearing the knock, Mei Hanqing snapped back to reality and slowly said: "Come in!"
In the next moment, the door opened in response.
Then, an elderly man with white hair, a wrinkled face, yet looking vigorous, walked in.
The elder wore a gray cloth shirt and cloth shoes, a very ordinary attire, similar to a regular old man.
But somehow different, the elder naturally exuded an approachable aura, yet mixed with an undeniable dignity!
Two contrasting vibes, yet perfectly fused in this elderly man.
Seeing this elder, Mei Hanqing immediately stood up and walked towards him: "Please have a seat, sir!"
The elder didn't stand on ceremony with Mei Hanqing, directly walking to the sofa and sitting down, with a kind smile, quietly looking at her.
After the elder sat down, Mei Hanqing spoke again: "Sir, would you like something to drink?"
"Just some plain water!"
Mei Hanqing nodded and poured a cup of plain water, bringing it over to the elder.
"Sir, may I ask why you are looking for me?" Mei Hanqing gently asked the elder in front of her.
"Time flies; in the blink of an eye, over twenty years have passed. You've grown so much, already a graceful young lady." The elder said wistfully, "Almost at the stage of getting married!"
Taken aback by the elder's unrelated words, Mei Hanqing hesitated: "Sir, did you know me before?"
"Young lady, I've just arrived in Jiangzhong City, but I'm unfamiliar with the area. Can you show me around?" The elder replied off-topic: "To thank you, I'll treat you to a meal!"
Seeing the elder persistently avoiding her questions, Mei Hanqing furrowed her brows deeply, her face full of endless confusion.
"Sir, I'm at work now, so I can't accept your request!" Mei Hanqing politely declined: "But if there's something you need, I'll do my best to assist!"
For some reason, looking at the elder in front of her, Mei Hanqing couldn't help but feel a certain affinity, wanting to be closer to him!
It's a mysterious kind of liking, hard to explain, but undeniably real.
"Young lady, I have no other requests, just hope you can show me around Jiangzhong City." The elder gently said: "I know you're busy, but if you mention it to your president, she might give you half a day off?"
"If you fear I have ulterior motives, you can bring companions!"
A hint of plea appeared on the elder's face.
Seeing the plea on the elder's face, Mei Hanqing was filled with entanglement and struggle!
After a long time, Mei Hanqing sighed deeply: "Alright, sir, where do you want to go?"
"Anywhere is fine, it's up to you!" The elder said casually.
"Then let me get ready."
Then, Mei Hanqing got up, went to her desk and shut down the computer. After tidying the files on the desk, she reached into her drawer for her bag: "Sir, let's go!"
"Aren't you going to ask for leave from your president?"
"It's fine, it's just half a day!"
"You trust me so easily?"
"I don't know, but I feel you won't harm me." Mei Hanqing said softly: "You don't seem like a bad person!"
"Being a bad person isn't written on the face!"
Mei Hanqing smiled: "I trust you're not a bad person!"
Hearing Mei Hanqing say this, the elder's smile instantly grew confident, refraining from saying more, and left the office with her.
After exiting Huangtu Map Group with the elder, Mei Hanqing said: "Sir, I don't have a car..."
"Taking the subway is quite nice!"
Seeing the elder's easygoing attitude, Mei Hanqing didn't say more and took him on the subway to leave.
Although the Su family's heiress, Mei Hanqing was raised in Jiangzhong City and is very familiar with it.
So, she knows Jiangzhong City well. After a casual lunch, she began showing the elder around the city.
The two were like grandfather and granddaughter, very harmonious.
Mei Hanqing didn't know why, but being with the elder, she felt very happy!
Yet the pleasant time was short-lived, as a slightly magnetic voice unexpectedly sounded in her ear: "Miss Mei, what a coincidence!"
