?56: Chapter 56 Chaotic Scene   56: Chapter 56 Chaotic Scene                                   Su Lu dialed the phone.


    The rtionship between the two seemed much improved while in Hai City, and she had been quitefortable facing him at the time.


    But now, as she made the call, her heart still fluttered with a vague nervousness.


    The phone didn’t ring for long before it was picked up.


    Su Lu’s eyes brightened, “Hello?


    I…”


    However, the voice that came through wasn’t Bo Jingshen’s.


    “Mr.


    Su?


    Hello.”


    Although she had only heard it once, Su Lu recognized that it was Bo Jingshen’s assistant, Cheng Yan’s voice.


    Su Lu pursed her lips, “Hello.”


    “I’m Cheng Yan, the one you met briefly at the airport,” Cheng Yan introduced himself.


    “Yes, I recognized your voice,” Su Lu replied, “Is Bo Jingshen avable?”


    “President Bo is quite busy and I’m afraid he can’te to the phone,” Cheng Yan said formally, “If there’s anything you need, Mr.


    Su, you can tell me directly.”


    Su Lu paused for a moment before she also adopted a formal demeanor, her address changing, “It’s about the new project nning that President Bo mentioned before.”


    Cheng Yan replied, “You can contact me about this matter at any time.”


    Su Lu said, “Alright, then please give me thepany address.


    I cane over and discuss it in person.”


    After ending the call and looking at the address Cheng Yan sent to her phone, Su Lu was somewhat baffled.


    If she wasn’t mistaken…


    Wasn’t this address unmistakably on Mingyang Avenue?


    On the same street as her ownpany?


    Su Lu blinked her eyes, thinking of how she could not even get in touch with Bo Jingshen at the moment and his inscrutable strange attitude.


    Looking at the distance now, which was nearly within a stone’s throw of being in the same building, it was really hard for Su Lu to judge his actual stance and intent.


    “Mr.


    Su,” Xu Ning entered the office, handing over a document to her and asking, “Do you need me to join you for the new project negotiations?


    If it’s far, I can…”


    Su Lu shook her head, “No need, it’s not far.” She paused and then added, “It’s very close.”


    Xu Ning, about to call the driver with her phone, said, “How close can it be, surely not within walking distance?


    Let me help you call a driver.”


    Since their ownpany was on Mingyang Avenue, Xu Ning also knew that bigpanies usually chose locations in the CBD, which were exceptionally well-situated.


    However, she then saw an indescribable expression on her boss’s face.


    Su Lu handed her phone screen to Xu Ning, showing her the address disyed on it.


    Su Lu said, “It really is within walking distance.”


    Xu Ning frowned and stared seriously at the address on her screen for a long time, then said with a look of deep distress, “Mr.


    Su, do you think…


    they couldn’t continue their business abroad and it failed, so they returned to develop the market here?”


    Su Lu was speechless; she really admired Xu Ning’s imagination.


    Xu Ning continued, “For apany of such scale, why wouldn’t they buy a building in the CBD?


    To be on the same road as ourpany, could it be that the feng shui here is good?”


    Su Lu patted her on the shoulder, “Be less superstitious.


    Alright, since it’s so close, you don’t need to apany me; I can go by myself.”


    That afternoon, Su Lu casually walked to Boss.


    She even bought an ice cream at the convenience store downstairs and ate it on her way.


    Standing in front of thepany, Su Lu btedly recalled the day she was surrounded by the media.


    There had been no time for any news toe out, yet at that moment, he had appeared so timely, so appropriately, and rescued her.


    It was certainly not a coincidence, probably not a mere passing by either.


    Theirpanies were just a street corner away; any movement on her side was possibly known to him.


    Her mood, which had been down due to his uncontactable and elusive strange attitude over the past few days, seemed to lift slightly again.


    This was Su Lu’s first visit to Boss, and she had to admit that it definitely wasn’t failing—the premises were too well-kept for that.


    But since they had just returned to develop domestically, they were still in the process of recruiting, so there weren’t many staff members.


    There was only one person at the front desk, but they looked very efficient.


    “Hello, do you have an appointment?” the receptionist asked.


    Su Lu nodded and handed over her business card, “I have an appointment with Assistant Cheng Yan.”


    “Alright, please wait a moment, let me check with Assistant Cheng,” the receptionist said, gesturing for Su Lu to take a seat on the sofa in the adjacent waiting area.


    Su Lu went over to sit down, taking the opportunity to quietly observe the brand-newpany.


    If she remembered correctly, this building used to be some designpany—which exined why it had such a decorative touch.


    The elevator door pinged open.


    Su Lu assumed it would be Cheng Yan, and she lifted her chin slightly, looking toward the elevator.


    But the person who came out of the elevator wasn’t Cheng Yan.


    It was…


    Bo Jingshen.


    Su Lu’s gaze froze; he was dressed in casual yet quality attire—a ck silk shirt that didn’t look stiff, the top button undone revealing an attractive corbone.


    Smoke-gray slim-fit cropped pants showcased his extraordinarily long legs, with casual shoes on his feet, exposing well-defined ankles.


    Anyone gazing upon such a young and handsome man would never imagine he was the boss of such argepany.


    And apanying him was a beautiful woman.


    Having frequented Feng City’s high society for many years, Su Lu had seen her fair share of beauties.


    Chen Yaxi was undeniably a rare beauty—elegant without beingmon, radiant without being demonic.


    It was herely appearance that led her down the path of modeling.


    But, as Su Lu had to admit, the woman with Bo Jingshen at the moment didn’t pale inparison to Chen Yaxi; if anything, theck of Chen Yaxi’s showiness gave her an added touch of innocent purity.


    She seemed extraordinarily young.


    Su Lu prided herself on her good maintenance, appearing to be around twenty-four or twenty-five.


    However, this young woman looked no older than twenty, her face brimming with cogen and the unsullied innocence of youth.


    She held a phone in one hand, the other arm intimately linked with Bo Jingshen’s.


    Su Lu took a steady breath, earnestly trying to ignore the pang of sourness in her heart.


    Unaware of their presence in the waiting area, the two passed by, intimately together.


    Ping, another sound, and the elevator doors opened again.


    Cheng Yan exited the elevator.


    The receptionist noticed and called over to Su Lu, “Mr.


    Su.”


    At those words, Bo Jingshen, who had almost reached the lobby’s ss doors, abruptly halted his steps.


    The receptionist then looked to Cheng Yan, “Assistant Cheng, Mr.


    Su is over here.”


    Cheng Yan felt a headacheing on; what a chaotic scene this was.


    Although he couldn’t be bothered to care about his boss’s emotional life, he wasn’t blind!


    He could somewhat discern that there was no shallow rtionship between his boss and Mr.


    Su.


    Otherwise, back at the airport, the boss wouldn’t have behaved that way, and Zhuang Cai Nan would not have seen her as a rival.


    But confronting this chaotic scene, well, that was another story…
