Chapter 575 - 580: Strange Tremors
"I’m a guest invited today, and I made an appointment with your President Xing in advance," Ran Xiangsi lied without blushing or skipping a beat.
There was no other choice; if she didn’t say that, the receptionist probably wouldn’t tell her where Xing Chen was.
The receptionist glanced at Ran Xiangsi’s outfit and, after a moment of hesitation, said, "Today’s banquet is on the eleventh floor. President Xing just went up."
"Oh, okay." Xiangsi nodded and turned to take the elevator up as well.
It was still pretty early, as several key figures from Rongsheng Technology were meeting to discuss things, so there weren’t many people around yet.
When the elevator reached the eleventh floor and Xiangsi stepped out, she really didn’t see many people.
The upstairs space was large and arranged for the banquet. There was even a banner on the wall of the stage welcoming attendees to Rongsheng Technology’s subsidiary establishment meeting.
Only a few staff members were still checking the setup. Without grabbing anyone to ask about Xing Chen’s whereabouts, Xiangsi decided to look for him herself.
After all, the receptionist had said he was already up here; he should be on the eleventh floor.
"Strange, why can’t I see anyone?" After looking around but not finding any sign of Xing Chen, Xiangsi murmured to herself as she walked into a corner.
There were quite a few potted plants in the corner, conveniently blocking some of the view.
In the adjacent corner, separated by just one wall, Xing Chen was standing leisurely in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window.
With his hands stylishly tucked into his trouser pockets, his dark eyes gazed deeply and complexly at the city below.
Two personal bodyguards stood on either side behind him, and Shao Mangliang was also there. "The scene is almost ready; I’ll go confirm the final steps," he said.
With that, he left.
Xing Chen nodded slightly. He had originally come to enjoy the view.
To his surprise, from a certain moment, he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He couldn’t say what it was; it felt familiar, a pressing desire to attain something...
Xing Chen glanced back, seeing only a few staff members and no outsiders.
But what was this overwhelming feeling in his heart?
Perplexed for a long time, Xing Chen suddenly, without warning, turned his head to look at the wall beside him.
He walked over slowly and touched the white wall with his hand...
It was cold and hard, with no warmth or softness at all, yet his inner longing grew stronger.
On the other side of the wall, Ran Xiangsi continued sighing, wondering why she couldn’t find Xing Chen.
Just as she was thinking, her phone vibrated. Ran Xiangsi quickly took it out to see it was a call from her master.
"Master?"
"The Falcon apprentices have arrived. Where are you?"
Hearing this, Ran Xiangsi suddenly realized and hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, Master, I just left for a moment! I’m... I’m on the eleventh floor now."
This is ridiculous!
She had been so focused on seeing Xing Chen that she forgot her master’s advice to wait for the Falcon on the first floor.
Fengchen wasn’t angry, only said, "Come to the twelfth floor immediately."
"Yes, Master!" Xiangsi dared not delay for even a moment. She put down the phone and quickly ran to the elevator.
The moment she left, Xing Chen, who was behind the wall, furrowed his brows and walked around the wall, but saw nothing...
