I'll Make the Call Myself

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Upon entering Qingcheng International, it was the reception hall. This area was reportedly entirely owned by Qingcheng International.

There were a full seven buildings, including employee dormitories, conference halls, and various departments.

In addition, several factory areas across the street were also developed on land purchased by Qingcheng International.

"I'm looking for Nie Han'er," Zhuang Xin said with a gentle smile.

He was already quite handsome, and after obtaining the 'Ultimate Fighting Technique', his physique became even more perfect. His height had also increased significantly, causing the young receptionist's face to blush slightly. "You're looking for the Chairwoman? She's in a meeting right now, and the Chairwoman probably doesn't have time. Also, if you want to see the Chairwoman, you need to make an appointment in advance."

"Alright... I'll call her myself." Zhuang Xin shrugged, found a place to sit casually, hesitated for a moment, and then sent another message to Qu Hongyun to get Nie Han'er's phone number.

Other receptionists not far away were curiously observing Zhuang Xin.

"Is he here to see someone? I've never seen such a handsome young man before."

"Yeah, company partners come here often, and I remember them all. I just don't have an impression of this handsome young man. Did he leave his phone number? I really want to pursue him."

The girl who had previously served Zhuang Xin shook her head. "He's here to see Chairwoman Zhao, and he didn't leave a phone number. I told him he needed an appointment, and he said he would call the Chairwoman."

"Call the Chairwoman? At this time? Is he crazy?"

The women were startled.

Every Friday afternoon was the time for Qingcheng International's high-level meetings; this was common knowledge.

No one dared to call the Chairwoman at this time. There was a major client before who often called upon arrival, even multiple times during meetings without regard for the consequences. And the result?

After a few instances, Nie Han'er directly terminated the cooperation with that company, even severing ties with all related industries. The company boasted that they would make Nie Han'er regret it. Three months later, that company went bankrupt.

Although no one knew what happened, everyone understood that it must have been the Chairwoman's doing.

Since then, no one dared to call the Chairwoman on Friday afternoons.

Even though Nie Han'er's phone was usually turned off during this period.

Qingcheng International, Conference Room.

Nie Han'er, dressed in a light blue long dress, held a pen and pointed to a red dot on the projector. "This location, I've told you many times, is full of wealthy people who demand service. Yet, there are always disturbances. Was the training for the staff here all for nothing? Now it's even made the news?"

Below, a crowd remained silent, their breaths caught in their throats.

Everyone chose to remain silent, except for the area manager, who nervously stood up. "Chairwoman... this isn't our fault. The customer was being unreasonable; they were clearly there to cause trouble."

"Hmph, causing trouble? How come I heard that this customer has a personal grudge against you?" Nie Han'er's gaze turned cold as she swept her eyes over him.

"I..." Fine beads of sweat appeared on the area manager's forehead. He said bitterly, "It is indeed related to me. This customer is from a supplier company whose contract was terminated. Because I refused their cooperation, they often send people to cause trouble."

"Sending people to cause trouble? Why didn't you tell me until now?" Nie Han'er's slender fingers tightened slightly, gripping the black pen.

The area manager sighed. "I thought they were just angry and it would pass after one or two times. I didn't expect them to be relentless."

"Oh? Alright, you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. I'll send someone to handle it..."

Before she could finish speaking, a loud ringtone echoed through the conference room.

Nie Han'er frowned and looked down at her phone. It was an unknown number.

This made her expression even more displeased.

Those below exchanged glances.

Who was so bold as to call the Chairwoman at this time? Were they tired of living?

Some even started to snicker, waiting to see a good show.

The company of the last person who did this had already gone bankrupt.

Nie Han'er picked up her phone, glanced at it, and then directly hung up.

According to her usual practice, she would turn off her phone.

However, this time, due to some family matters, she needed to keep her phone accessible, so she hadn't turned it off.

Her family's numbers were all labeled; it would never display as an unknown caller.

This meant that this number was not from her family.

"Let's continue!" After hanging up, Nie Han'er picked up her pen. As soon as she raised her hand, the pen pointed to a certain area, and the phone rang again.

Nie Han'er's expression grew even more somber. Her watery eyes narrowed slightly, and she answered the call.

"Hello, this is Zhuang Xin. Are you... Nie Han'er?"

The voice on the other end sounded a little hesitant, as if unsure if it was Nie Han'er.

Hearing this voice and the name, Nie Han'er's expression instantly softened considerably. The icy demeanor on her face receded, returning to normal. "It's me. Is there something you need?"

"Oh, oh, oh... It's nothing. I just heard that you saved me before, so I came specifically to see you. I'm at the front desk right now. If it's inconvenient for you, I can come another day." Zhuang Xin's voice was filled with a smile.

"It's convenient."

Two simple words.

Without any extra words, Nie Han'er hung up the phone.

Then, she glanced at everyone, said "Meeting adjourned," and walked out on her own.

Everyone present was so astonished they couldn't speak.

Normally, Nie Han'er absolutely hated being interrupted during meetings. On any other day... Nie Han'er's expression would have been grim, but this time she was surprisingly quiet, showing no anger at all.

Even her voice softened a bit when she took the call.

"Is President Nie...?" the Area Manager stammered, full of disbelief.

"Who do you think is calling President Nie? She actually ended the meeting? This has never happened before."

"Yeah, I'm really curious too. She actually stopped the meeting for them."

After their shock subsided, everyone started speculating about who could be on the other end of the line.

"Stop guessing. I heard the company recently landed a big order from out of province. You know, President Nie wants to expand the group's reputation and scale. Maybe it's someone from out of province."

"That makes sense. Besides that explanation, I really can't think of anyone else who could have this kind of influence."

A group of people nodded, and they all began packing up to leave the meeting.

As for the person who made the call...

He was currently sitting in the front hall, legs crossed, sipping coffee that the receptionist had made for him, taking a sip now and then. When he got bored of waiting, he took out his phone to watch short videos.

The receptionists would occasionally glance over, and a couple of the bolder ones had already approached Zhuang Xin to ask for his phone number.
