Chapter 536  : Curiosity

As the employee in the front of the office, the receptionist would know Wei Zhiqian’s latest status at all times.

The receptionist quickly sent a message to all of the groups when she saw Wei Zhiqian entering the company holding Tan Mo’s hand: “The President has entered the company holding the hand of a young lady.”

The previous time Tan Mo had come to the office it had been on a weekend.

The receptionist had not been present that day and hence had never seen Tan Mo before.

She also did not dare to take a photo of Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo as she was scared she would be discovered.

It wouldn’t be good if she lost her job because she had been gossiping.

Thus, after Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo walked past her, she secretly took a photo of their back view and sent it to all the group chats.

The receptionist added a note: “I didn’t dare to take the photo from the front, but I could see that the little lady seemed to be very young.”

Everyone thought to themselves of a term simultaneously: beast!

Of course, there were employees in these group chats who had happened to also be working overtime the last time Tan Mo had come over.

For example, Manager Wang and several others who had been there last time were all in the group chats.

No one knew who had initiated it, but they created a small private group chat among themselves.

When they entered the group chat to have a look.

Oh!

What a coincidence.

It was that same group of people who had met Tan Mo when they worked overtime previously.

“Last time we saw Tan Mo, but this is a back view this time. I am not certain if it is her.”

“But they are both very young.”

“If it isn’t Tan Mo but another young lady, then our President is quite a jerk.”

“The President says my girlfriend is forever 18 years old. [smug emoji]”

“It might just be Tan Mo.” There was a female colleague who was quite romantic and liked stories where the leads are loyal from the start to the finish.

“But the receptionist only photographed their back view, and we cannot recognize who it is.”

They had only seen Tan Mo once and were indeed not familiar enough with her to recognize her from her back.

Manager Wang decided to manage the situation. “This is simple. The President is most likely in the elevator now. Every department and every floor should assign a representative to be in charge of each floor, and someone would greet the President. Press the elevator button. When the elevator stops, enter and you will naturally see who the little lady is.”

Everyone thought to themselves, Manager Wang was indeed experienced and cunning.

However, who would do this task?

Everyone was silent, and Manager Wang once again decided to manage the situation. “Look at the way all of you are as cowardly as a bunch of mice!”

Everyone: “...”

Manager Wang: “How about this? Listen to me, there are managers from some departments in the chat. If the department manager is here, then the department manager will press the elevator button. Those whose department managers are not here, choose a representative yourselves, and they can go do it.”

Manager Wang: “Do you still want to know who it is?”

Everyone gritted their teeth: “All right!”

They all agreed one after another.

What were they afraid of? The managers of each department were leading this after all.

Manager Wang backed up his words with his actions immediately.

The President would not fire them over this little bit of gossip, right?

So, what was there to be afraid of?

Manager Wang held onto his phone and jogged to the elevator on his floor.

He even took a video that recorded him running over as he pressed the elevator button, and he sent it to the group chat.

Everyone saw that Manager Wang not only said he would do it, but he really led by example and jogged over to the elevator.

The managers of other departments were no longer afraid that Manager Wang wasn’t being truthful with them.

Manager Wang had done it himself...

Thus the managers of other departments also followed Manager Wang’s example and sent a video to the group chat as evidence.

Some were even more extreme. They started to film themselves as they left their offices and in the corridor, right up until they reached the elevator.

The other employees saw that the managers had done it.

Then they would do it too.

Thus, the video evidence sprouted like spring bamboo shoots after the rain.

Everyone waited at every floor.

There had never been a president-exclusive elevator.

There were four elevators in a row, and they were shared by the employees regardless of rank.

At this time, although there were always employees who were traveling between departments, there were not many people who used the elevators.

It was not to the extent where the elevators would stop at every floor.

Wei Zhiqian’s thoughts were filled with getting to his office quickly.

He would love it if the elevator didn’t stop at any floor and that no one would need to use it.

If he reached the office fast, he could quickly announce that he was now Tan Mo’s boyfriend to Qin Muye and Ming Yeqing.

He did not expect that the whole company would be there to see them, since it was almost the weekend.

As he was in a rush to get to his office, the elevator stopped.

The first time it stopped was on the fifth floor.

When the elevator door opened, an employee who he did not know got on...

When the other party saw Wei Zhiqian and Tan Mo, he was obviously stunned for a moment but then greeted him hurriedly, “Hello, President.”

Then he quickly entered and pressed the sixth floor.

Wei Zhiqian: “...”

He was wondering why the employee couldn’t have climbed the stairs to get to the next floor.

At the sixth floor, the elevator stopped again. The employee exited the elevator and the elevator continued to ascend.

But the elevator stopped again on the seventh floor.

When the elevator doors opened, the employee outside waiting looked slightly familiar.

“Hello, President.” After the employee was finished with the greeting, he glanced at Tan Mo when he entered.

Then he pressed the button for the eighth floor.

Wei Zhiqian: “...”

On the eighth floor, the employee exited when the doors opened and a person who had been waiting outside the elevator doors entered.

This time, Wei Zhiqian recognized the person.

It was Manager Wang.

“Hello, President,” Manager Wang greeted him. When he saw Tan Mo, he had a surprised expression. “Tan Mo, you are here too.”

Tan Mo had a good memory, and she did remember the people who had entered the elevator.

They were all people who she had met when she’d delivered dinner to Wei Zhiqian previously.

“Manager Wang,” Tan Mo greeted him. She suspected that there was some sort of a ploy going on.

“...” Wei Zhiqian had a stern expression as he asked, “Manager Wang, which floor are you getting off on?”

Manager Wang then recalled that he had forgotten to press the elevator button as he was busy greeting Tan Mo.

He was about to press the button to the ninth floor when he heard Wei Zhiqian say, “Don’t tell me you want to go to the ninth floor.”

Manager Wang: “...”

“No, I don’t want to.” Manager Wang’s finger took a turn, and he pressed forcefully on the button for the 12th floor.

Wei Zhiqian: “...”

Tan Mo: “...”

Was this the Weifeng Company’s style?

It was totally different from the serious working environment she had expected.

However, although Manager Wang pressed the button for the 12th floor, he couldn’t help that there were people who’d pressed the buttons on the ninth, tenth, and 11th floors!

Manager Wang broke out in a cold sweat in the elevator.

What a stupid idea had he come up with?

As he saw Wei Zhiqian’s expression continue to darken, and the air pressure in the elevator continue to drop...

Manager Wang’s heart felt chilly.

He did not dare to send a message to the group chat to everyone to stop coming.

He was afraid Wei Zhiqian would see it.

How would Wei Zhiqian not know what they were thinking?

They were obviously here to see Tan Mo.

Were the employees of the Weifeng Company so free that they did not need to work?

Wei Zhiqian’s expression was very cold, and the elevator ascended at a snail’s pace, stopping at every floor.

After Manager Wang, everyone who entered the elevator did not dare to exit on the next floor.
