Chapter 114 - Interview with the Big Boss, Xiao Ran Appears

When the receptionist saw Li Xiaoran, her originally cold face was instantly filled with a smile. She bent down and nodded respectfully at Li Xiaoran.

Because of her 180-degree change in attitude, Qiao An turned to look at the door with curiosity.

Her eyes met Li Xiaoran’s. Qiao An was so shocked that she froze on the spot.

Li Xiaoran walked over with a gentle smile on his handsome face. He couldn’t sleep last night and thought for the entire night before finally coming to a conclusion. He had taken advantage of Qiao An. The tough Qiao An didn’t cry or make a fuss. She didn’t beat him up or call the police. It could only mean that she still had feelings for him.

Li Xiaoran knew that he only needed to be good to her.

“Why are you here?” Li Xiaoran asked.

Qiao An frowned. “Doctor Li, why do I suspect that you have been following me?”

Li Xiaoran touched his nose in embarrassment and said openly, “Yes, today was really an unexpected encounter.”

“What about yesterday?” Qiao An demanded of him.

“It was also a coincidence yesterday.” Li Xiaoran seemed to have an epiphany. He sighed and said, “An’an, we seem to be very fated.”

Qiao An was skeptical.

Then, she frowned and asked Li Xiaoran, “Then why are you here today?”

She didn’t believe he could come up with a good reason.

“I’m here to see Old Master Huo,” Li Xiaoran said.

Qiao An was dumbfounded. This guy had the same goal as her?

Qiao An secretly thought that since Old Mr. Huo didn’t like to socialize, he might not meet this guy.

She simply retreated to the side and prepared to watch Li Xiaoran get rejected.

Li Xiaoran walked up to the receptionist. Other than being a little indecent in front of Qiao An and liking to smile mischievously, he was really cold in front of other unfamiliar women.

“Which office is Huo Guangshan in?” he asked.

The receptionist swallowed. This was the first time she had seen someone call Chairman Huo by his name.

“You need an appointment, sir?” the receptionist asked with trepidation.

Qiao An couldn’t help but laugh.

Li Xiaoran saw Qiao An’s mocking expression and teased her. “Why? Are you worried that I won’t be able to enter?”

Qiao An turned away and said coldly, “Whether you can enter or not has nothing to do with me.”

Li Xiaoran smiled unrestrainedly. “How is it unrelated? If I can enter, you can benefit from me and see Huo Guangshan.”

Qiao An was also eager to atone for what happened with the previous incident. She immediately looked forward to Li Xiaoran entering.

“Then why are you talking so much nonsense? Think of a way to get in,” Qiao An reprimanded Li Xiaoran.

She was very rude to Li Xiaoran, perhaps because the two of them were too familiar with each other. Li Xiaoran did not mind Qiao An’s attitude.

Instead, he took out a card from his expensive clothes and handed it to the receptionist.

When the receptionist saw the card, her expression changed drastically. She could not help but size up Li Xiaoran with reverence in her eyes.

Then, she said respectfully, “The chairman is on the sixth floor, Room 666.”

The receptionist handed the card to Li Xiaoran respectfully. Li Xiaoran took the card and left.

Qiao An was stunned on the spot. She still didn’t understand how Li Xiaoran obtained the favor of the receptionist.

Li Xiaoran walked halfway and realized that Qiao An did not follow him. He stopped and waited for her.

Qiao An quickly jogged over.

It was just that she was wearing stilettos and could not walk fast.

Li Xiaoran’s gaze landed on her ten-centimeter high heels and he frowned. When she walked in, Li Xiaoran criticized her, “Pregnant women can’t wear high heels. Don’t you know?”

Qiao An waved her handbag and said, “I have cloth shoes in my handbag. I’ll change them after meeting Old Mr. Huo.”

Li Xiaoran reached out his hand. “Let me help you.”

Qiao An shook her head. She changed the topic and asked gossipily, “Why are you able to enter?”

They walked to the elevator and Qiao An stopped.

Li Xiaoran did not stop walking. He walked straight to the CEO’s private elevator and used his card to open it. Qiao An was stunned.

She was afraid that Li Xiaoran would leave her outside the elevator, so she quickly walked over.

Li Xiaoran blocked the elevator with one hand and looked at her high heels again.

After the elevator door closed, Li Xiaoran suddenly ordered coldly, “Change your shoes.”

Qiao An said, “I can’t change them. It’s not easy for nobodies like us to meet Old Mr. Huo. We have to leave a good impression on him. Appearance and posture are very important.”

Li Xiaoran tempted, “After changing your shoes, I guarantee that you can see Old Master Huo at any time in the future.”

Qiao An looked at him suspiciously and pouted. “All you do is brag.”

Li Xiaoran sighed weakly.

After exiting the elevator, Qiao An followed behind Li Xiaoran and entered Room 666.

Old Master Huo was overjoyed to see Li Xiaoran.

However, when he saw Qiao An behind him, Old Mr. Huo asked curiously, “Xiaoran, this is…”

Qiao An introduced herself. “Mr. Huo, I’m a reporter from Hai Yue Men’s Magazine…”

Just as she introduced himself, he saw Old Mr. Hup’s face sink. He asked coldly, “How did you get up here?”

Li Xiaoran looked at the embarrassed Qiao An and winked at her playfully. Then, he placed his mouth by Qiao An’s ear and whispered, “Buy me a meal. I’ll help you interview him.”

Qiao An was thin-skinned. At this moment, it was not a question of whether she could interview the old man, but how to resolve her current predicament.

She agreed without thinking.

Li Xiaoran sat Qiao An down on the leather chair opposite Old Master Huo. Qiao An was like a frightened bird. How could she be on equal footing with Old Master Huo?

Li Xiaoran threatened Old Master Huo very rudely, “Old Master Huo, there are times when you make an exception. For example, I, Li Xiaoran, might make an exception and become a manager. Don’t you think so?”

Old Master Huo understood what Li Xiaoran meant. Only when he made an exception and accepted the interview would this brat make an exception and accept the position at Huo Corporation.

Although it was difficult for Old Master Huo to be interviewed, it was also difficult for Li Xiaoran to accept and jump ship. Therefore, this deal was not a loss.

Mr. Huo immediately nodded. “Alright, on account of you, I’ll accept your interview. I’ll get my assistant to contact you later.”

Qiao An was done and ecstatic.

She bowed deeply to the old man. “Thank you, Mr. Huo.”

Before Qiao An left the office, Li Xiaoran said, “Qiao An, don’t forget what you promised me.”

Qiao An made an OK gesture.

“I’ll wait for you outside.”

Qiao An walked out of the office, and Li Xiaoran became distracted.
