Chapter 33: Chapter 33 You Don’t Have an Invitation Chapter 33: Chapter 33 You Don’t Have an Invitation Lin Chuyi’s motions of eating halted, “Why is Cong Ningyuan so unreliable? He’s not coming back for the mixer tonight?”
Su Shan muttered uneasily, not daring to speak.
Cong Ningyuan was clearly aware that he had not arranged this trip well, so he didn’t dare to call the big boss, asking his assistant to call instead.
Fortunately, Lin Chuyi did not mean to give the assistant a hard time and quickly said, “I’ll go to the company later, you’ll come with me to the mixer tonight.”
“Yes, Boss Lin.”
Lin Chuyi finished her meal quickly, then drove over to Jungle.
Su Shan had already prepared a suit for her, as well as the speech.
Lin Chuyi changed into the suit, glanced at the speech, and then casually stuffed it into her bag.
In recent years, the pharmaceutical industry mixer hosted by Jungle was the most prestigious and valuable in the nation, naturally, Lin Chuyi wasn’t the only one from the company to go, but as the boss, the others were from the research and development team.
The others had already set off for the venue, Lin Chuyi left with Su Shan alone.
The mixer was held at the Huagong Hotel, a five-star venue, where Jungle Pharmaceutical had booked the top-floor banquet hall.
When Lin Chuyi arrived at the banquet hall with Su Shan, she just happened to see Wen Nianyou arguing with the security guard at the door.
“Why won’t you let me in? I’m with them!”
“Sorry, miss, but you can’t enter without an invitation.”
“This person here is the Madam of Qi Hospital’s dean, and this one, the dean’s son, also my boyfriend, they both have invitations, isn’t that enough? Why can’t I go in?”
“The rules of the mixer state that each invitation is for one person only, you don’t have one, so you can’t enter.”
“Aren’t you being too rigid? I’ve told you we’re together. What’s the big deal about one extra person?”
“You can’t enter, please move back, you’re blocking the way.”
Wen Nianyou was impatient beyond measure, yet in front of Qi Yunfan and Mrs. Qi, she had to appear decent, so she seethed with frustration.
Just as she fumed, she heard Qi Yunfan surprisedly say, “Chuyi, you’re here too?”
Lin Chuyi approached the entrance, “Should I not be?”
“No, that’s not what I mean.”
Qi Yunfan frowned upon seeing her in a suit, “Are you wearing that to clean? Doesn’t seem very convenient for the job, does it?”
Lin Chuyi glanced at Wen Nianyou and responded indifferently, “Seems like Wen Nianyou has already told you that I work as a cleaner at Jungle Pharmaceutical. Quick talker.”
Su Shan, who followed at her side, looked at her boss with suspicion. Cleaner? What cleaner? The boss, working as a cleaner?
Hen Peizhu hadn’t expected to encounter Lin Chuyi here and scoffed, “So, you’re just a cleaner at Jungle, I thought you’d climbed some high tree! Turns out you’re still useless. Aren’t you supposed to be sweeping garbage? What are you doing here?”
Lin Chuyi spoke calmly, “There’s too much trash, it’s everywhere, impossible to sweep it all, so I came to the meeting first.”
Hen Peizhu suspected she was speaking metaphorically, but she was too composed, not seemingly cursing someone.
She laughed sarcastically, “A cleaner attending a mixer? Do you know how high the threshold is for this kind of pharmaceutical industry mixer? Do you know who’s inside? Someone of your level doesn’t even have the qualification to clean there!”
Wen Nianyou, embarrassed for being stopped by the security, found solace in seeing someone like Lin Chuyi who was even worse off, and she immediately echoed Hen Peizhu, “Yeah, this isn’t just any mixer, the attendees are all elites of the pharmaceutical industry! Chuyi, this is not a place for you, you’d better leave. If you get chased out by security later, it won’t look good!”
Lin Chuyi was unfazed, “Oh, is that so? Security will chase people out? Sounds like you have quite the experience with that.”
Wen Nianyou’s face turned a hint of green as she suppressed her anger, mocking Lin Chuyi under her breath, “Ah, what would a cleaner know? The entrance threshold for the mixer is indeed very high. Even a big hospital like Qi Hospital only got two invitation cards.”
“Chuyi, without an invitation, you can’t get in. Even wearing a suit is useless. Don’t waste your effort; you see even I got stopped outside. If I can’t get in, there’s no way you can. Go sweep your trash and stop blocking the way here.”
