My Online Girlfriend Has a Twin Sister - Chapter 206 136: Visiting a Domestic Authoritative Professor (2)

There were only ten minutes left until the appointed time…

He scanned his surroundings, his gaze unsettled. After a moment, he turned his head back.

In this massive company, there was no one in the lobby except for the receptionist!

‘It’s too deserted,’ he thought.

‘I should’ve just had Jiang Zhengfeng pick me up. For a crummy company, their security is pretty tight!’

Chen Yuan hesitated for a few seconds before leaning against the front desk. Looking at the young lady there, he had no choice but to speak again.

“Miss, I’m really here to see someone on the 20th floor.”

“Young man, you definitely can’t go to the 20th floor without an appointment. That’s where our senior executives work. Are you sure you’re in the right place?”

The receptionist, seeing that Chen Yuan was quite handsome, couldn’t help but say a little more.

Normally, she would have just sat back down and gotten back to her work without even looking up.

“I’m serious, miss… Is there any way you can let me in? If I can’t find the person, I’ll leave right away. Ten minutes, max. Maybe I got the name wrong, but I’m definitely at the right address.”

Chen Yuan furrowed his brow slightly, blinking as he gave her a pleading look.

That handsome, clean-cut face of his unleashed an unparalleled, devastating charm.

The receptionist stared blankly for a moment, her gaze fixed on him for a few seconds. She found herself momentarily captivated.

Especially when his youthful, innocent voice called out pitifully, “Sister?”

Just a single word.

She snapped back to her senses and quickly cleared her throat to cover up her lapse in composure.

“Um… well, there’s nothing I can do, but if you’re really here on business, I can get you a visitor’s pass. We usually give them to people who are here for interviews.”

“That would be great! Thank you, Sister!”

“I haven’t said I’d give it to you yet…” Even though she couldn’t hide the smile at the corners of her mouth, the young receptionist pursed her lips and said.

Chen Yuan’s string of affectionate terms had left her utterly delighted.

“You’re so nice. Come on, hand it over.”

Having sold his good looks, Chen Yuan blushed a little. One could say he had made a great sacrifice.

He had hardly ever called even Jiangg Yao the word “sister.”

While inwardly cursing his own shamelessness, he obediently accepted the visitor’s pass.

Finally, having received the quest item from the NPC, Chen Yuan followed her directions, heading to the side where he swiped the card and entered the elevator.

Or rather, he got into the elevator by using his face.

He pressed the button for the 20th floor.

…

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man in a sharp suit walked into the lobby from outside.

He approached the front desk.

The young lady shot to her feet and said respectfully, “President Pei.”

“Mm, don’t just sit there. Stand for a while. The boss’s son said he was coming, but there’s been no word… We’ve been waiting for an hour.”

“You’ve been working hard, President Pei. Why don’t I… go wait outside?”

“You?” The middle-aged man known as President Pei chuckled, his meaning unclear.

The receptionist immediately understood and quickly offered an apologetic smile.

The company’s de facto leader was waiting outside, afraid that the boss might not find it “respectful enough.” What was a mere receptionist like her? Her going out to wait would seem far too dismissive of the guest.

“Forget it. Just have Liu and the others wait a bit longer. You be sharp, too. If you see a young man come by, do not, under any circumstances, neglect him.”

Pei Youwen sighed and muttered something about a meeting.

He quickly went upstairs.

Who would have thought? No one had ever heard that the boss had a “son.” Everyone assumed it was a child he’d had in secret over the past few years.

A few years old at most.

This time, he was coming to the company, but no one had said what it was about.

After Pei Youwen got the news, he was terrified, his mind racing with speculation.

‘Could it be that the never-before-seen “Mrs. Boss” is coming too?’ he wondered.

He had been working under Jiang Zhengfeng for seven or eight years and had been personally promoted to this position, but he had never been involved in the boss’s private affairs.

Usually, anyone who could get involved at that level was considered an absolute confidant.

He was both terrified and excited. Becoming the man in charge of Bauhinia Investment Company, Pei Youwen already felt like he had reached the pinnacle of his life. He never expected another turning point!

…

He made his way up to the 20th floor.

Pei Youwen opened the door to his office, took off his jacket, and hung it to the side.

He was about to change his clothes. After standing outside in the cold for a while, his whole body was stiff.

But as he walked over to his desk, he was stunned to find a young man already in the room. The stranger was sitting on the sofa, looking right at him!

“Who are you?” Pei Youwen frowned and said coldly, “How did you get in here? Don’t you know this is the president’s office?”

“Uh…” Chen Yuan stood up. “I’m looking for Jiang Zhengfeng.”

“Tsk, it doesn’t matter who you’re looking for, you can’t just walk in here. There’s no—wait a second. Who did you say you’re looking for?”

It took Pei Youwen half a second to process. Hearing that familiar name, he suddenly froze.

“Jiang Zhengfeng,” Chen Yuan repeated politely. “Do you know him?”

In an instant, Chen Yuan watched as the middle-aged man’s expression shifted dramatically, putting on a spectacular show.

An awkward smile quickly washed over his stunned expression.

Pei Youwen clapped his hands and immediately bowed at the waist. “Aiyah! Of course I know him! You must be Young Master Jiang Yuan, right?”

The middle-aged man scurried over, fawning.

“This old servant—呸! I, Pei, have been waiting for you for so long~”

“Just call me Yuan.”

“Of course, Young Master! Please, sit! President Jiang said he’ll be here any minute, he’s already on his way~ What would you like to drink, Young Master? Can I get you a cup of coffee?”

This Pei Youwen was being absurdly enthusiastic.

He even added a lilt to the end of his sentences, as if afraid his tone wasn’t gentle enough.

His fawning was a bit nauseating.

Perhaps that’s how it would seem to an outsider, but Pei Youwen himself didn’t think so.

As one of the few leading figures in the country’s new energy sector, Jiang Zhengfeng existed on a plane countless levels above ordinary people—a being to be looked up to.
