Su Feng went upstairs first, leaving only the female employee to receive Lin Xinyuan.
The girl at the front desk naturally obeyed her superior’s instructions and didn’t dare to be negligent.
She ushered Lin Xinyuan into the first-floor reception hall.
“Miss, please have a seat here for now. They’re still in a meeting upstairs. I’ll go have someone notify them. The boss should come down once the meeting is over.”
“Mhm, thank you.” Lin Xinyuan nodded, expressing her thanks.
The girl just smiled politely in response. Before Lin Xinyuan could ask anything further, she quickly turned and returned to the front desk to make a phone call.
Lin Xinyuan hesitated, the question she was about to ask swallowed back down.
Boss?
So that guy isn’t just some kind of ‘Director’ or ‘Chief,’ he’s actually the boss of this company?
Owning an entire independent building as an office… that’s not something an ordinary company could do…
So Brother Feng is this impressive?
Lin Xinyuan was surprised, yet it also felt somewhat expected. Following that, she couldn’t help but feel a bit of pressure.
Brother Feng is only twenty-one and has already achieved this much. Then what about me…
She gently bit her pink lips, her thoughts drifting aimlessly, feeling a sense of imbalance.
The more outstanding the young man was, the more afraid she became, which was why she was also working hard…
For the time that followed, the girl simply sat there waiting.
Although she could sense the front desk girl glancing at her from time to time, which she found a bit unpleasant, she could also tell it was just out of curiosity…
At noon, the company’s employees finally got off for their lunch break. Many who had ordered work meals planned to eat and then nap right at their desks.
Of course, quite a few also went downstairs, intending to eat at fast-food places outside the industrial park. Among them were Yu Lengxin and Gu Lin.
As members of the programming team in the R&D department, they were somewhat famous figures in this ‘monk temple.’
The guys who were going bald were especially envious of Gu Lin’s thick, dark hair.
Those who weren’t bald yet were envious that he had managed to hook up with one of the few girls in the team, and it was Yu Lengxin, known as the “Cold Beauty.”
The two had just gone downstairs. Gu Lin was walking while checking messages on his phone when, as they passed the first-floor reception hall, Yu Lengxin suddenly patted his arm.
Gu Lin was puzzled, but following his girlfriend’s gesture, he looked over and immediately saw an extremely beautiful girl sitting alone on the sofa in the reception hall, seemingly waiting for someone.
He froze for a few seconds but quickly snapped out of it. He felt she looked somewhat familiar but couldn’t place her right away.
Besides the two of them, quite a few male employees were also sneaking glances at the girl.
Before Gu Lin could fully process it, he saw his girlfriend actually walk right in, which momentarily confused him.
“Sis Xin, what are you…”
Whether Yu Lengxin heard him or not, she continued on her own towards the girl.
Helpless, Gu Lin could only follow.
Lin Xinyuan was quite bored, idly scrolling through videos. She hadn’t been scrolling long before she completely lost interest, her mind simply not on it, unable to focus.
When is he finally coming down…
Distractedly swiping the screen, she glanced at the insulated food container on the coffee table and frowned slightly, worried the food would lose its flavor if it sat too long.
But there was nothing she could do; she could only wait patiently.
At the same time, she could sense many people around her looking her way. Fortunately, those glances came and went quickly, so it wasn’t too bothersome.
Just as she was sighing to herself, she suddenly sensed someone walking towards her.
Lin Xinyuan looked up in confusion and saw that the person had already reached her side, followed by a man who looked vaguely familiar.
“Hello?”
The girl was quite good-looking, just her expression was a bit cold. But Lin Xinyuan couldn’t help feeling she seemed a bit… slow…
Though unsure of the reason for the greeting, Lin Xinyuan naturally responded politely, “Hello, is there something…?”
Hearing this, Yu Lengxin just smiled lightly, the previously icy expression showing signs of thawing. “Do you still recognize me?”
“Ah?” Lin Xinyuan was taken aback. She took a closer look at Yu Lengxin, then at Gu Lin behind her, and realized they did seem familiar. “You…”
“You two are… the ones from upstairs?”
Lin Xinyuan thought for a moment. A flash of insight crossed her mind, and she grasped the connection.
It was also because Yu Lengxin’s looks were quite striking, and her aura was somewhat unique, making her memorable.
So they’re employees of that Yellow-Haired Brat’s company? What a coincidence…
“Mhm, yes.”
Seeing that the girl could still recognize her, Yu Lengxin felt a bit happy unconsciously, though she didn’t show it on the surface.
But it had to be said, Lin Xinyuan’s transformation was indeed significant. She had only barely recognized her at first.
As for Lin Xinyuan being at her workplace, Yu Lengxin was very surprised.
After all, the other girl was clearly still a student—that somewhat silly, innocent look in her eyes made it hard to mistake…
But surprise aside, her reason for approaching was simply out of curiosity and a slight desire to get to know her. After all, she had helped them before…
Though it was indeed sudden, they were at least nodding acquaintances and neighbors. Saying hello shouldn’t be a big problem…
By now, Gu Lin behind Yu Lengxin had caught up. Just as he was about to say something, he got a clear look at the girl’s face and realized Lin Xinyuan seemed to be their downstairs neighbor?
Last year, for a period of time, they often ran into Lin Xinyuan.
The girl was already pretty, but after disappearing for a while, the change was even greater, and she was even more beautiful now…
If before she seemed like a somewhat tomboyish girl, now she was a complete beauty, with a quiet, shy aura radiating from within.
“Hello.”
Out of politeness, Gu Lin also greeted her. Lin Xinyuan returned the greeting just as he did.
“Are you waiting for someone here?”
Yu Lengxin’s curious gaze fell on the food container on the coffee table, seeming to understand why the girl was here.
“Mhm… yes.”
Lin Xinyuan nodded. She was about to say something more but suddenly seemed to notice something.
She stared blankly past them, the words she was about to speak abruptly stopping, her face instantly lighting up with joy. “He’s here!”
Hearing this, Yu Lengxin and Gu Lin immediately turned around.
They saw a handsome young man in a black suit, with a straight, upright posture, casually walking towards them with his hands in his pockets, amidst exclamations from female employees and greetings from male ones.
The suit pants accentuated his long legs, drawing attention and highlighting the young man’s excellent body proportions.
Who else could this be but Qin Nanfeng?
As the head of the company, he rarely showed his face, yet almost everyone in the company knew of him.
Especially among the female employees, he was practically a male god.
Young, wealthy, and his talent went without saying. In just three years, he had single-handedly developed a small game studio into a now well-known domestic PC game developer, even gaining considerable international recognition.
Whether it was capital backing or not, others didn’t know, but in terms of boldness alone, it was undeniable.
Qin Nanfeng was truly the first to dare venture into this field, especially within the not-so-optimistic domestic PC game environment.
“Boss!”
Yu Lengxin and Gu Lin also hurriedly greeted Qin Nanfeng, but they were inwardly very shocked.
They had never encountered Qin Nanfeng in their residential building, so naturally, they didn’t know the person Lin Xinyuan was waiting for was Qin Nanfeng.
So, learning that the boss lady had actually been living right below them all along was quite a surprise and shock for the two of them.
“Mhm, hello. Are you two Xiaoyuan’s friends?”
Qin Nanfeng smiled and nodded. With employees, as long as it wasn’t work time, he interacted quite relaxedly.
“Uh…”
Gu Lin wasn’t sure how to answer. Yu Lengxin was about to tell the truth but was quickly preempted by the girl who had already stood up and was walking quickly towards Qin Nanfeng.
“Brother Feng, they live upstairs from us. They’re our neighbors.”
“Is that so…”
Qin Nanfeng didn’t say much about it, just nodded to them. “If you haven’t eaten, go ahead and have lunch. Rest well at noon.”
“Yes, Boss.”
With that, the young man no longer paid them any mind. Smiling, he reached out his hand to Lin Xinyuan. “Come on, follow me. Let’s go upstairs.”
“Oh…” Lin Xinyuan stared at that large hand.
Sensing the varied gazes around her, especially the front desk lady’s look of surprise and shock, she felt a bit shy.
But still, she nervously extended her own small hand.
Brother Feng…
