After leaving the laboratory, Shen Jianyi took a taxi straight to the Lu Group building.
To develop a drug targeting Lu Jinsheng's condition, she had to see his symptoms during an episode with her own eyes.
Although she had seen him in that state in the bathroom last time, the situation was too urgent then, and she hadn't taken a close look.
The taxi soon arrived at the foot of the Lu Group building.
Shen Jianyi got out of the car, paused, and looked up at the building.
The office building towered into the clouds, and the glass panels on the outer layer sparkled in the sunlight.
The four characters "Lu Group" were grand and imposing, revealing the air of the richest man in Huaguo everywhere.
She pursed her lips. While walking into the building, she called Lu Jinsheng, but there was no answer.
She had no choice but to go to the front desk: "I'm here to see Lu Jinsheng."
The receptionist wore an unchanging smile on her face.
The corporate culture of the Lu Group was strict, and the receptionists had received strict training. She didn't show the slightest impatience because of Shen Jianyi's abruptness.
Moreover...
They took another look at the young-looking girl in front of them and were once again attracted by her appearance.
She had her black hair tied into a ponytail, revealing a noble and full forehead. On her palm-sized face, her features were as delicate as those of a person in a painting.
She was extremely lovable.
"Hello. May I ask if you have an appointment?"
Shen Jianyi shook her head and blinked innocently: "Sister, do I have to make an appointment to go in?"
The word "sister" melted the receptionist's heart.
How could there be such a cute and polite girl!
"What's your relationship with General Manager Lu?"
Shen Jianyi continued to smile innocently: "What do you think our relationship is, sister?"
The receptionist was stunned for a moment and seemed to understand: "You're General Manager Lu's sister, right? Well, I'll swipe your elevator card for you. You can take the innermost elevator up. I'll call General Manager Lu's secretary and ask her to wait for you beside the elevator. How about that?"
Tsk, it really worked to have an innocent and kind face.
Compared to saying she was Lu Jinsheng's wife, the title of sister was obviously more useful.
Shen Jianyi obediently followed the receptionist into the elevator and didn't forget to wave goodbye to her.
"Ding—"
The elevator stopped on the 99th floor.
Secretary Xiao Lin was already waiting outside the elevator.
Someone had said that the young master's sister had come. He had thought for a long time but couldn't figure out which sister would come to the Lu Group to look for someone.
Just when he was at a loss, the elevator door opened.
A delicate and refined little face appeared.
"Y-Young Mistress?"
Xiao Lin was so excited that he stammered.
Shen Jianyi nodded and looked around.
On the entire 99th floor, there was only one president's office. The floor was covered with a red carpet. At the end of the corridor, the grayish-brown door was tightly closed.
"Is Lu Jinsheng in there?" Shen Jianyi asked.
Xiao Lin subconsciously nodded, then suddenly came to his senses and shook his head frantically: "Young Mistress, the young master is busy now. The old master is still in the hospital due to illness, and he's temporarily acting as the president. He's having a meeting with people from various departments inside."
The young master had instructed that he must never let the young mistress see him having an episode again.
He must never let the young mistress in.
"I see."
Shen Jianyi nodded as if understanding. She walked to the sofa in the waiting area beside and sat down. "Then I'll wait for him to finish the meeting."
She obediently sat on the sofa and really started waiting for Lu Jinsheng to finish the meeting.
Xiao Lin was in a dilemma. He gritted his teeth: "I'd better go in and ask the young master."
He trotted to the president's office, carefully glanced back at Shen Jianyi, then turned the doorknob and walked in.
The president's office was empty.
Xiao Lin walked to the lounge in the back area of the office and finally saw Lu Jinsheng.
The furnishings in the lounge had all been smashed.
The black TV screen was cracked, and the floor lamp, ashtray, and all the facilities had been smashed to pieces.
The man was slumped on the ground. The violence between his eyebrows made him look like a crazy wild beast.
The buttons of his white shirt had also been ripped open, adding a bit of charm.
Hearing the footsteps, Lu Jinsheng squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Lin standing at the door.
That dangerous look was like staring at prey.
Xiao Lin swallowed hard and said dryly: "Y-Young Master, the young mistress is here."
The hand hanging by his side suddenly tightened.
Lu Jinsheng said hoarsely: "Tell her to leave."
"I told the young mistress that you're in a meeting, but she refused to leave and insisted on waiting for you."
"..."
Lu Jinsheng had a splitting headache.
He couldn't see Yiyi at this time.
He had scared her last time when he lost control in the bathroom.
If she saw him out of control again, would she think he was a monster?
"Let her wait."
Squeezing the words out of his throat, Lu Jinsheng closed his eyes weakly.
If she couldn't wait, she should leave.
Just as Lu Jinsheng had thought, Xiao Lin went out and said that he was still in the meeting and the end time was undetermined. Shen Jianyi was silent for a moment and chose to leave the Lu Group.
Xiao Lin let out a sigh of relief and personally accompanied her downstairs.
"Don't worry, Young Mistress. As soon as the young master finishes the meeting, I'll tell him that you've been here."
"Then I'll trouble you."
Shen Jianyi smiled faintly as if she knew nothing and didn't notice the strange looks cast from all around at all.
Wasn't Xiao Lin the secretary of the young General Manager Lu? Why was he respectfully following a little girl he had never seen before?
After personally seeing Shen Jianyi into the car, Xiao Lin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and walked towards the front desk.
The receptionist who had sent Shen Jianyi to the elevator earlier saw him and asked curiously: "Secretary Lin, which sister of the young General Manager Lu is that little girl who looks like a fairy?"
"Sister?"
Xiao Lin got angry.
She was his love interest!
He glared at her. "She's the young General Manager Lu's wife, our young mistress!"
"..."
The receptionist was stunned.
W-Wife? She had even let the young mistress call her sister?
Would she still keep her job?
...
Shen Jianyi slumped in the taxi, looking a bit dejected.
While waiting outside, she had thought carefully and seemed to understand why Lu Jinsheng didn't want to see her.
A man like him would never want her to see his most vulnerable side.
But if not like this, how could she treat his illness?
She was a bit irritated.
She sighed, propped her head on the car window, and glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner of her eye.
Immediately, a smile appeared on her delicate little face.
The fun was coming.
A black sedan had been following her since she left the Lu Group. Now that they were almost at the Lu family mansion, it was still closely following.
Was it going to confront her?
"Stop the car."
Shen Jianyi suddenly said. The driver was so scared that he stepped on the brakes. Before he could turn around and scold, a red banknote was handed over.
When he turned around again, there was no one in the back seat.
Shen Jianyi stood in front of the black sedan. Her delicate and slender body exuded infinite tension, and a few strands of hair from the ponytail behind her head were blown up by the wind.
