Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 834 - 837: Direct Contact

The two female receptionists had been paying close attention to the security guard at the door.

As well as the tall woman wearing sunglasses and a tightly fitted office lady outfit.

Fengzi was on duty together with Xia Liu.

He was already so stunned that he couldn’t speak or do anything.

The woman standing before them was someone he had a strong impression of—the company’s new CEO.

On her first day as CEO, she had already made it onto the cover of a business magazine as the industry’s goddess!

The season had already transitioned into warm spring, but Guo Man’s outfit was still somehow discomforting to look at.

Especially to a masculine young man like Fengzi.

"I left my ID in the office last night. Could you let me in first? I’m about to be late."

Guo Man smiled faintly, her voice sounding almost pleading.

Fengzi, standing nearby, was once again thunderstruck.

Rumor had it that Guo Man was cold to the point that she wouldn’t laugh—maybe not even cry.

Her iciness was famous for being chilling.

This was common gossip within the company.

But now, Fengzi was seeing something entirely different.

Guo Man smiled!

A smile as beautiful as a blooming flower.

It was stunning and captivating.

"Huh? That smiling woman looks an awful lot like our company’s CEO, Guo Man!"

At this moment, Zhao Qian, who had come downstairs to pick up a delivery, caught sight of an exceptional scene.

"Squad Leader Zhao, look closely. That’s definitely President Guo!"

"Good heavens, President Guo actually smiled!"

"Xiao Ya! Don’t yell so loudly, the security cameras might pick up the audio!"

The two receptionists quickly covered their mouths, leaving Zhao Qian to stand there and process his shock alone.

"Unbelievable, it really is President Guo! Who’s that security guard, and how did he manage to stop her?"

"That’s the new guy. He’s so handsome, unbelievably handsome."

"If I remember correctly, Squad Leader Zhao is quite close to him; they often come to the company together."

In response to Zhao Qian’s query, the two receptionists explained.

"Holy crap! It’s Xia Liu!"

Zhao Qian couldn’t hold back his exclamation.

However, he hesitated to step forward, recognizing an opportunity. Even just reporting some details about Xia Liu in the past had earned him promotions.

Perhaps he could use this situation to learn more about the relationship between Guo Man and Xia Liu.

Yes, that’s the plan!

After making up his mind, Zhao Qian and the two receptionists stayed put, intending to see how things would unfold.

"Without a pass, please contact a company employee to escort you inside."

The cold rejection came directly from Xia Liu’s lips.

"Xia Liu! Isn’t this person President Guo?"

At this moment, a terrified Fengzi whispered in Xia Liu’s ear.

"Company rules are rules, even managers must abide by them."

Xia Liu didn’t look up; he knew he had to put on a convincing act in front of Guo Man.

"I don’t really have any friends in the company. Can you make an exception for me? I’ll treat you to dinner after work."

Crunch!

Upon hearing Guo Man say this, Fengzi’s heart shattered to pieces.

Guo Man actually offered to treat a man to a meal!

And the man in question was just a security guard!

Alright, alright, this world has gone utterly mad.

Fengzi was at a loss for what to do.

"Miss, please don’t make things difficult for me. I…"

Seeing that the timing was right, Xia Liu began speaking as he raised his head.

And in that instant, when their eyes met, his words froze.

"It’s you!"

Following that, Xia Liu displayed a look of astonishment.

"Yes, are you surprised?" Guo Man asked with a smile.

Seeing the two recognize each other, Fengzi was utterly thrown into chaos.

Xia Liu and Guo Man were acquaintances.

He had clearly been keeping this under wraps!

"Very surprised. Earlier, I heard Director Song mention that you were the boss of some company. It seems that company is indeed here…"

Xia Liu wore an awkward expression. Though he understood the truth, he still had to feign ignorance.

"That’s right. I guess your prediction wasn’t too far off. And now, we meet again."

"Hehe…"

Xia Liu merely let out a foolish laugh, unable to think of a proper response.

If he hadn’t been briefed earlier, if he hadn’t been on this assignment, perhaps he would’ve genuinely been shocked at this moment.

But unfortunately, everything about her was already within Xia Liu’s grasp.

"Thank you for helping me last time,"

"I was just doing what I should, but President Guo, I hope my delay hasn’t inconvenienced you too much today."

"It’s no problem. I only found out you were working at this company yesterday and wasn’t sure how to greet you, so I came down. I hope you don’t read too much into it."

"Understood."

"Well, I’ll go up and get to work now. Let me treat you to lunch this afternoon as a thank-you. Does that work for you?"

"Of course…"

After Xia Liu’s agreement, Guo Man entered the company with a bright smile.

The entire scene left everyone who had noticed frozen in place. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Guo Man had smiled!

And Fengzi was on the brink of becoming utterly unhinged.

Guo Man had invited Xia Liu out for lunch!

This was absolutely mind-boggling.

"Brother! My dear brother! How did you pull this off? The CEO actually invited you to lunch! She’s the goddess that countless people admire!"

After Guo Man got into the elevator, Fengzi seized the opportunity to interrogate Xia Liu.

"That’s a long story. You’ll understand later."

Xia Liu put on a mysterious air, leaving Fengzi unsure how to push further.

At this moment, Zhao Qian appeared as well: "Brother Xia Liu, you know President Guo, don’t you? My goodness, she actually smiled at you."

"Brother Zhao, don’t misunderstand. This is only the third time we’ve met. If I had known she was the CEO here, I might not have bothered coming to work."

"Impressive, impressive. This story must be thrilling—promise you’ll share it with us someday!"

"Absolutely! Brother Xia Liu, why not share it with us tonight? I’ll host, and we can hang out at Old Friends BBQ."

"Sounds good, I’m in. How about you, Brother Xia Liu?"

Zhao Qian readily agreed—he was extremely curious about what had transpired between Xia Liu and Guo Man.

"I don’t mind. But after work, I’ll only be free after seven o’clock."

Xia Liu smiled faintly, agreeing to the plan.

"Alright. Squad Leader Zhao and I will head over first. You can join us at 7:30."

...

After a pleasant discussion, the three of them finalized the arrangements.

During work hours, no one was allowed to mention this incident.

The receptionists were also warned by Zhao Qian.

Until everything was clear, spreading this news might lead to Xia Liu being swarmed by curious colleagues.

And potentially end up being forced out of the company.

At noon, Xia Liu received a phone call.

It was from Guo Man.

"Mr. Xia, I’m in the Zunyue private room at a coffee shop about a kilometer from the company. I hope you can do me the honor of joining me for lunch."

Guo Man’s soft and sweet voice came from the phone.

"Sure, I’ll tidy up and head over now."

Xia Liu repressed his excitement—Guo Man was taking the initiative to invite him.

Regardless of her reasons, his goal was finally within reach.

It was all worth it!

All the effort until now wasn’t in vain. It wouldn’t be long before he gained Guo Man’s approval.
