Chapter 126 - Stupid Qiu Family
In the hall on the first floor of the Empire Group.
Seeing the group of people walking in, the two receptionists stood up. One of them smiled politely and asked, "h.e.l.lo, may I know who you are looking for?"
Qiu Cheng glanced at Qin Bailu. Seeing that she didn"t say anything and didn"t seem to have any intention of speaking, he said to the receptionist, "h.e.l.lo, we"re looking for Master Nine."
Even if the other party was only the receptionist, Qiu Cheng didn"t dare to slight her.
After all, this was the Empire Group, and its owner was Master Nine, whom few people dared to offend in the capital.
There weren"t many people who dared to come to the Empire Group and say that they were looking for Master Nine. The two receptionists were stunned for a moment, but their excellent professionalism quickly made them recover their polite smiles. "Sir, do you have an appointment?"
Qiu Cheng"s expression froze, "No."
There were six to seven people in this group. They didn"t have an appointment and still dared to come to the Empire Group in such a grand manner to look for Master Nine?!
Who gave them courage?
No matter how good the receptionist was at her job, she couldn"t help but reveal an incredulous expression as she stared at the group of people in front of her.
Until all of them were embarra.s.sed and terrified.
Qiu Jian, who was sitting in the wheelchair, didn"t dare to make a sound. Her respect for Master Nine made her persuade them not to come to the Empire Group directly to look for them more than once, but no one listened to her.
Even Qin Bailu didn"t say anything.
In the end, the group of them headed straight for the Empire Group from the airport.
Qin Bailu and Qiu Cheng said that they could only see Master Nine in North City at Mount Jing and the Empire Group. They didn"t dare to enter Mount Jing, so they could only go to the Empire Group to try their luck.
However, even so, they still came over nervously.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Qiu Cheng said with an awkward expression, "However, we"re here on Master Nine"s request to apologize to him. You only have to say that the Qiu Family in the capital brings an unfilial daughter to apologize and Master Nine will meet us."
From the capital…
Although she didn"t know which Qiu Family it was, since they came from the capital and dared to provoke Master Nine, their status must not be low.
However, the receptionist still declined politely with a smile. "I"m sorry, we couldn"t let you up without an appointment. Please forgive us."
The receptionist added, "Even if you"re here to apologize to Master Nine."
"However, Sir, you can try to contact Master Nine or Special a.s.sistant Lin. Otherwise, you can contact Secretary Zhao and Secretary Zhou. We can only let you in after you have been given permission."
"Sir, since you"re here to apologize to Master Nine, even if you can"t contact Master Nine directly, you should have the contact information of the others, right? They"re all people around Master Nine."
Every word from the receptionist pierced Qiu Cheng"s heart like a needle.
He didn"t have any contact information!
He didn"t even have Master Nine"s secretary"s contact information! If he did, why would they come to the Empire Group without even informing him?
Even if he was stupid, he knew that it would be easier for the latter to anger Master Nine if he came over directly over without informing him.
Seeing Qiu Cheng"s expression, the two receptionists knew that they didn"t have any contact information at all.
They wouldn"t dare to let them in now. They didn"t even have the thought of calling the 55th floor to ask about them.
At the same time, she looked at them with a strange gaze.
As if she were looking at idiots.
They didn"t even have anyone"s contact number and they actually dared to come to the Empire Group to look for him. Did they just come over without informing anyone?
Were they here to apologize or to offend someone?
Was this really someone from a certain family in the capital? Could he be an imposter?
Qiu Cheng didn"t say a word under the gazes of the two receptionists as if they were looking at an idiot. Qiu Jian asked Qin Bailu with a stiff face, "Bailu, you"re the Second Miss of the Qin Family. You should have the contact number of Special a.s.sistant Lin beside Master Nine, right?"
He didn"t even ask her if she had Yin Jiujin"s contact number. Instead, he directly asked about Lin Zimu"s.
This meant that Qiu Jian still had some self-awareness. She knew that even if Qin Bailu was the Second Missy of the Qin family, it was impossible for her to have Yin Jiujin"s phone number.
However, Qiu Jian emphasized the words "Second Missy of the Qin Family" loudly. She was obviously angry that these two small receptionists dared to look down on the Qiu Family.
Since they dared to underestimate the Qiu Family, she would bring out the Qin Family. They wouldn"t dare to underestimate them, right!?
However, they did not know that the two receptionists were not looking down on the Qiu Family. It was just that they had never heard of the Qiu Family in the capital.
When the two receptionists heard the words "Second Missy of the Qin Family", the way they looked at Qin Bailu instantly changed.
The Yin and Qin families were the three largest families in the capital. The Qin Family and the Yin Family"s status were almost equal. And Yin Jiujin, the boss they respected, was the Second Young Master of the Yin Family. It could be because of the Qin Family"s status or because they were in awe of Yin Jiujin and didn"t dare to slight the three families in the capital, it was normal for their expressions to change when they found out that Qin Bailu was the Second Missy of the Qin Family.
The two receptionists were only surprised by Qin Bailu"s ident.i.ty. Qiu Jian and the others were only pleased to see the two receptionists" expressions change, so they didn"t notice Qin Bailu"s slightly ugly expression.
She glanced at Qiu Jian with an unfriendly gaze. Then, she hid the anger in her eyes and smiled gently and kindly at the two receptionists, "Although I"m the Second Missy of the Qin Family, I rarely interact with Master Nine and don"t have Master Nine"s contact information. As for Special a.s.sistant Lin beside Master Nine, I"m still a student now and the field I"m good at isn"t related to Master Nine. Naturally, I don"t have Special a.s.sistant Lin"s contact information."
"Please help me tell Master Nine that my sister knows that I"m coming to North City. Thinking that Master Nine hasn"t been back for a long time, she specially asked me to bring two of Grandma Wu"s best dishes to Master Nine," Qin Bailu said as she waved the lunch box in her hand.
Grandma Wu was an elder of the Yin Family. To be precise, she was the elder beside Old Master Yin and Old Madam Yin. After Old Madam Yin pa.s.sed away, she remained by Old Master Yin"s side to take care of Old Master Yin"s meals.
The two receptionists didn"t know Grandma Wu"s ident.i.ty, but they knew that the eldest daughter of the Qin Family was the eldest young mistress of the Yin Family, Master Nine"s sister-in-law.
It had to be said that Qin Bailu was indeed smart. She knew that the eldest daughter of the Qin Family, Qin Jianjia, would definitely ask her to send something to Yin Jiujin when she came to North City. That was why she specially called Qin Jianjia before leaving for the capital"s international airport.
Qin Bailu was used to currying favor, so even if they didn"t have the same mother, Qin Jianjia didn"t hate her much.
After learning that Qin Bailu was going to North City, she asked her if there was anything she wanted her to bring for Yin Jiujin. Qin Jianjia asked Grandma Wu to make two of Yin Jiujin"s favorite dishes and bring them to North City.
Of course, Qin Jianjia actually didn"t like Qin Bailu too much either.
Otherwise, she wouldn"t have asked Qin Bailu to bring something to Yin Jiujin but didn"t give Qin Bailu Yin Jiujin"s contact information.
Did Qin Bailu not ask?
Of course not.
Qin Bailu asked, but Qin Jianjia, who knew Yin Jiujin"s temper, didn"t say anything.
She only said that Yin Jiujin had never been close to the other members of the Yin Family, and she didn"t have Yin Jiujin"s current phone number. She also said that if Qin Bailu didn"t find it troublesome, she could send the dishes to the Empire Building. If she found it troublesome, she could eat the two dishes herself.
It was one thing to care about Yin Jiujin, but it was another thing to not anger him.
Qin Jianjia"s thoughts were that if Yin Jiujin was willing to see Qin Bailu, those two dishes would naturally fall into his hands. If Yin Jiujin wasn"t willing to see Qin Bailu, it was only two dishes. The Yin Family didn"t lack those two dishes, so she could take it that she had given them to Qin Bailu.
At the end of the day, it was all because Yin Jiujin hadn"t returned to the Yin Family for too long that Qin Jianjia didn"t hesitate to get someone to deliver food for him.
"Second Miss Qin, please wait a moment. Let me ask."
Just as the receptionist finished speaking, before Qin Bailu could be smug, she heard a voice from behind her. "There"s no need to ask. Yin Jiujin doesn"t want them."
Everyone looked over and saw a girl in a white t-s.h.i.+rt walking over leisurely with one hand in her pocket and the other playing with her phone.
At that moment, there was an indecipherable smile on her face.
"Miss Yu!" The two receptionists greeted her respectfully at the same time.
The Qiu Family quickly guessed the ident.i.ty of the person when they called her "Miss Yu" and the two receptionists" obviously warm and respectful att.i.tude.
That was the eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City who had been missing for many years and Master Nine"s fiancée!
Of course, other than Qiu Jian, there was another person who recognized Yan Jinyu at first sight.
That person was Qin Bailu.
Qin Bailu had been thinking about marrying Yin Jiujin, so she had naturally investigated Yan Jinyu, Yin Jiujin"s legitimate fiancée carefully.
Unfortunately, the results of her investigation did not even mention that Yan Jinyu knew how to race. However, the Yan Jinyu she heard from Qiu Jian was clearly not what she had found out…
This made it even harder for Qin Bailu to ignore Yan Jinyu, Yin Jiujin"s fiancée.
Thinking about those rumors that Yin Jiujin treated Yan Jinyu differently, Qin Bailu couldn"t sit still anymore.
She actually had two objectives for coming to North City.
Firstly, she wanted to show her face in front of Yin Jiujin so that he would remember her. Secondly, she wanted to meet Yan Jinyu, who had already become famous in the capital before she even appeared.
However, what did Yan Jinyu say just now?
Was Yin Jiujin going to eat them up?!
