I grabbed the ledger and had the driver drop me off at the base of Cheng Yu's company building. As soon as I entered the lobby, something felt off—the receptionist looked at me as if she had something to say but hesitated.
I sensed something was up. I was about to ask when the receptionist spoke first, "Miss Zhao has arrived, claiming to come for a collaboration with President Cheng. She stormed in with a group of people, and we just couldn't stop her."
Zhao Mengxi showing up was unexpected. I nodded to acknowledge the information and took the elevator upstairs.
As soon as the elevator doors opened, I heard Zhao Mengxi's shrill voice, "Where's Cheng Yu? I've been waiting here for twenty minutes. If he doesn't show his face soon, I'll flip this goddamn office upside down."
Just as arrogantly brazen as ever. Master Zhao has been stressed out of his wits lately, hardly managing his daughter, just setting up a few bodyguards for her—so long as she stays out of trouble.
