Chapter 990: Face-smacking
The same vicious cycle repeated itself over and over again. The Nangong family had already entered the place ten minutes ago. Why had they not come up yet?
The elevator door opened again and again on the 22nd floor. It was an absolute monkey show!
Suddenly, some of the more quick-witted reporters started gossiping.
Could it be…
They did not dare to make wild guesses. They could only sneakily take out their phones and ask their colleagues who were still outside—the Nangong family entered the building or ascended the building?
Their answer was that some of them witnessed the Nangong family heading up a long time ago.
Their colleagues even questioned them back. Did they not see the Nangong family?
For the sake of the Gu and Huang families’ comeback, they invited all the well-known media companies in the country.
These gossipy people’s sense of smell was almost on par with a bloodhound’s. In an instant, their noses told them that this would be an explosive selling point.
Could all of this be… a joke?
Everyone started to engage in their own private conversations and ask their colleagues what was going on outside. The answer they got was what Nangong Shu told the media to wait for the official announcement!
Instantly, the gossip columnists could not hold back anymore.
Official announcement by the official media?
Were they not the official media hired?
They were the official media invited by the Gu and Huang families!
After the Gu family and the Huang family fell for the elevator trick several times, their hearts turned cold as the elevator doors to an empty elevator opened up on the 22nd floor once more.
“Go down and find out who’s behind the prank! Then, go find out why the Nangong family hasn’t come up yet.”
Mrs. Gu looked at the security guard unhappily.
Since they paid an exorbitant fee for security, of course the security guards would do whatever they commanded.
He immediately went down to check on the elevator.
An elevator operator from Ruiyu Hotel stood at the entrance of the two elevators. Whenever the elevator came down, he would step into it dutifully and press the b.u.t.ton for the 22nd floor before exiting.
“What are you doing?”
The security guard was not displeased. After all, he was a member of Shengyang Group. All he needed to do was to follow his employer’s orders.
Of course, as one of the people in charge of the security this time, he was also aware of what was going on with the Young Lady of the house. Therefore, he knew that his Young Lady had already gone up to the 66th floor with the Nangong family.
When the elevator operator saw that a security guard from the wedding banquet came down, he thought that the man was from the Gu family or the Huang family. He gave the man a polite bow and said, “h.e.l.lo, I’ve been given orders to press the elevator here.”
“Orders? Whose orders?”
“Our Little Miss has ordered me to take over the elevator and press the b.u.t.ton to the 22nd floor.”
“Is she the Little Miss of the Nangong family?”
“Yes.”
“Noted.”
Then, the security guard took the same elevator upstairs.
When they saw the elevator open on the 22nd floor again, the members of the Gu family and Huang family stopped smiling.
However, when they saw a pair of long legs inside, everyone immediately broke into smiles.
“In…”
He only said one word, and before he could finish, he saw that there was only one person in the elevator, and it was the security guard that they had sent down.
“Why did you use this elevator?”
“It’s quick. Convenient,” the security guard answered simply.
The people from the Gu family choked, but they did not continue to ask this question. After all, there was something more important.
“What’s really going on?”
“It’s the Nangong family’s Little Miss who asked the elevator operator to press the elevator b.u.t.ton. Her reason is unclear. The Nangong family has already arrived at Ruiyu Hotel, but we don’t know where they went. The workers down there didn’t say anything about that.”
