"Alright, I'll call the President's Office for you right away."
Shang Xixia nodded, her smile sweet and polite. Then, she picked up the phone, dialing the number to reach Gu Jingchen.
"Mr. Gu, Miss Su has arrived at the Secretary's Office. Do you have any arrangements?"
Shang Xixia's tone was courteous, yet there was a subtle hint of sourness hidden within—a trace only Gu Jingchen could discern.
"Hmm... Alright."
Gu Jingchen's voice lingered for a few seconds before continuing.
"Miss Su, please follow the corridor straight ahead to the President's Office."
After hanging up the phone, Shang Xixia maintained her polite and formal tone.
"Alright, thank you." Su Rou nodded, smiling as she turned to leave.
"Ugh, here we go again!"
The small woman eyed the direction Su Rou left, then returned to venting to her close girlfriends in their group chat. With her chin propped on the desk, her voice brimmed with frustration as she pouted, her tone tinged with dejection.
