When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 399: You’re Not Allowed to Reveal Your Identity (9)

Shengshi Top Floor

Sheng Jianan had been in meetings all morning. Just after coming out of the conference room, he was still recovering from a cold, leaving him a bit fatigued. Returning to his office, he leaned back in his chair to rest for a while and fished out his phone to call Tang Yanqi, but no one answered.

Young Master Sheng furrowed his brows and glanced at the time. Was she out for lunch?

His fingers tapped lightly on the desk as a playful glint flashed in his dark eyes. Sheng Jianan got up and walked out; just then, Qiao Zi pushed the door open and entered: "President... You’re heading out?"

"Yes, to the staff cafeteria."

Casting the words lightly over his shoulder, Sheng Jianan walked straight out without pause. As soon as he stepped out of the office, he suddenly stopped, turned back to Qiao Zi, and with an arrogant look in his eyes, said, "Assistant Qiao hasn’t eaten either, right? Let’s go inspect the staff meals together?"

Qiao Zi was stunned for two seconds. Seeing their big boss already walking toward the elevator, they hurried to catch up.

The two of them took the elevator downstairs. Qiao Zi quietly glanced at the person beside them, internally grumbling: Inspect the meals? What a... what a grandiose excuse.

It was lunchtime, so the cafeteria was bustling. As soon as Sheng Jianan appeared at the entrance, a commotion ensued.

Although this was the staff cafeteria, those at the managerial level or above would hardly eat here. On one hand, they had to keep up appearances, and on the other, the company hadn’t issued meal cards for the staff cafeteria to them.

So those who came here to eat were mostly lower-level employees; though there were exceptions, they were few and far between.

These people seldom saw Sheng Jianan in person and only knew of the legendary Crown Prince from the company website or some news reports.

Sheng Jianan’s arrival made nearly everyone immediately stand up in unison, without the need for any prompting.

Sheng Jianan’s gaze swept over the crowd, and Qiao Zi, standing beside him, cleared his throat and spoke up: "The President is here to check on everyone’s lunch. Please, carry on and enjoy your meals."

After all, Qiao Zi was Sheng Jianan’s trusted assistant and knew exactly what to say in any given situation. Sheng Jianan also cooperated with her words and gestured for everyone to sit down.

There were already so many people here; if they all remained standing, how would he find who he was looking for?

As expected, once everyone was seated, Sheng Jianan immediately spotted where Qi Cheng and Bai Bing were sitting.

However, there were only three people over there, and the person he had on his mind was not among them.

Without showing any emotion, Sheng Jianan furrowed his brows and scanned around the table again.

Though he didn’t see the person he wanted to meet, he unexpectedly spotted Shen Yao sitting by the window.

Shen Yao also looked over in his direction; their eyes met in the air, and she gave a slight nod in greeting.

After confirming that the person he was looking for wasn’t there, Sheng Jianan, with a soft reminder from Qiao Zi, still put on a show of inspecting before leaving.

No sooner did he leave than the cafeteria burst into a buzz.

Among them were quite a few long-time employees of the Shengshi Group.

"I’ve been with Shengshi for ten years and have never seen the President appear here, whether the former or the current President."

"There must be a reason for the President’s sudden appearance at the staff cafeteria."

"That’s not the point, okay? The President is much more handsome in person than in photos. Gosh, when his eyes swept over us, it felt like I was about to get pregnant just from that gaze, am I right?"

Qi Cheng, Bai Bing, and Bai Xue exchanged a look and said, "Gosh, how could Tangtang miss such a historic moment!"
