Chapter 794 - Give him a surprise or a scare?
“Mom, I’ve got better news for you!”
She gave her mother a secretive look.
Her mother’s curiosity was piqued. “What news?”
“That’s…” She paused for a bit and then happily revealed, “I got promoted! I am now the Ji Group’s planning manager!”
“For real?!”
Zhang Manhua’s eyes lit up. Although she did not know what a planning manager’s duty was, she still knew that not anybody could hold that position in the Ji Group!
Her daughter had actually accomplished this feat! She actually became a manager in that company! This was something she felt very happy and proud about!
Just as she was in a dilemma, an idea popped in her head, and her eyes lit up.
“Let me make a call first.”
The few receptionists showed curiosity when she fished out her phone from her bag and dialed a number.
Inside, they were thinking, Is she truly making a call or just pretending for us to see? If she is, who is she calling?
“Hello, auntie! I’m at the reception area, but I can’t get in as I don’t have an appointment…”
She quickly explained her situation to Madam Ji the moment the line connected.
“No problem! Leave it to me! I’ll make a call down, so just wait there awhile!”
“Okay, auntie. Thank you!”
After she settled this, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
The few receptionists were all stunned at this.
What made them even more surprised was that, a few minutes after she ended the call, they received an order to let her in.
“Miss, is your surname Pei?”
“Yes.”
“Miss Pei, you can now enter.”
“Okay, thank you.”
She nodded and smiled at them before walking toward the elevator. Once in front of it, she pressed the elevator ‘up’ button.
“Wow! Who is that lady? It seems she’s not someone simple!”
“Yes. I wonder who she called just now…”
“Anyway, she can’t be just a normal woman!”
…
Ding!
The elevator doors parted open, but she had to climb a flight of stairs. The floor of the CEO’s office was only accessible via the VIP elevator or the stairs.
Hence, she went directly to the stairs after exiting the elevator.
Just as she reached the top landing and before she could open the door to the staircase to enter the top floor, she overheard a conversation between a few women.
“Our CEO and Miss Qiao truly look compatible! I’ve never seen our boss treat anyone else this gently.”
“Indeed. Plus, other than our boss’s assistant, only Miss Qiao knows the VIP elevator’s passcode!”
