Xiao Mei and Xi Zhiwei's agent had arranged to meet at her agency at 9:00 am. Su Wanwan arrived fifteen minutes early, walked up to the front desk, and after explaining her identity to the receptionist, the receptionist smiled and said, "Lijie has already given instructions, she wants you to go straight up to the fifteenth floor."
Su Wan nodded slightly and said thank you before heading towards the elevator.
It's unclear if she was just having a bad day, but both elevators malfunctioned and were temporarily out of service. Su Wanwan pursed her lips and turned around, heading towards the emergency staircase.
Su Wanwan had a good habit of exercising regularly, so climbing stairs was not a big deal for her. However, she happened to wear a new pair of high heels today, and the heel was a bit uncomfortable, so after walking several floors, the back of her foot started to ache slightly. Nevertheless, she gritted her teeth and continued to walk up.
Su Wanwan spent almost ten minutes before finally reaching the 15th floor. She checked the time and still had five minutes to spare, so she stood in place for a moment to catch her breath. Then, she first went to the restroom to touch up her makeup and tidy up her slightly disheveled hair before heading out.
She walked towards the reception desk on the 15th floor and said to the receptionist, "Hello, I have an appointment with Miss Xi Zhiwei."
"Is it Sister Weiwei?" The receptionist sister looked a bit surprised, "She didn't come to the company today."
"Haven't come to the company?"
Su Wanwan was taken aback for a moment, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Are you sure? I did indeed make an appointment with her to meet here at 9 o'clock this morning."
The little sister nodded without thinking, "Vivian can't be in the company, she's shooting an ad outside today."
Shooting commercials outside...
Su Wanwan's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and then she seemed to think of something, pointing at the elevator outside: "When did that elevator break?"
The little sister's hospitality became more and more inexplicable, "The elevator didn't break down."
As expected...
Su Wanwan curled up her lips, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. She had expected Xi Zhiwei to make things difficult for her, and she had already guessed as much. What she hadn't expected was that even now, Xi's methods were still so low.
Su Wanwan took a light breath and then pulled out her phone from her bag to call Xi Zhiwei's agent.
The agent patted his head and said, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry Miss Su. I completely forgot that our Vivian has a schedule today, so it's probably not possible to meet up today. I'm really sorry about this, you came all the way for nothing."
Su Wanwan's smile remained unchanged, her voice warm and gentle, "It doesn't matter, when is Miss Xi free? We can make another appointment then?"
"This... our family's Vivian has been notified especially many times recently, and she has to fly to Cannes to attend the film festival the day after tomorrow. I reckon we'll have to wait until she gets back and see about the time then."
The agent didn't give a clear time, which means it's an indefinite postponement. Or perhaps, Xi Zhiwei never intended to give her another chance to meet again.
But she had to try her best to get Xizhiwei, and was rejected like this, she couldn't bear it.
Su Wanwan thought for a moment and said: "Why don't we do it this way? I have time today, so I can wait for Xi Jie. Let's talk again after she finishes her work."
The agent seemed to have not expected Su Wanwan to be so persistent, she hesitated for a moment, then Su Wanwan heard the sound of whispers coming from the other end, and in the next second, Xi Zhiwei's voice came over the phone.
