Chapter 294: Chapter 295: Look Down Upon

"Song Xiaodong... you..." Su Yao looked at Song Xiaodong, feeling like she was going to collapse. How could this guy be like this, offending Miao Qingqing like that? Since she was with Song Xiaodong, it was obvious that Miao Qingqing’s impression of her had also deteriorated. Now, there would never be a chance for her to work at Qingyuan Group.

Song Xiaodong’s issue with Miao Qingqing was mainly because he had a knot in his heart. Now, with the tangle of emotions, he knew he couldn’t blame Miao Qingqing for it, but he couldn’t help wanting to get a small revenge on her.

Seeing Su Yao’s annoyed expression, he understood what she was thinking and said apologetically, "Su Yao, I’m sorry for ruining your opportunity."

Su Yao waved her hand weakly and said, "Forget it, we’re old classmates. Why should I be so petty with you? But honestly, President Miao is not holding it against you. Otherwise, with just one word from her, you might have been in big trouble."

Song Xiaodong took a sip of coffee and asked, "Do you really want to go to Qingyuan Group?"

"Of course, I do. I’ve found out that Qingyuan Group recently got an investment and will soon make big moves. They’ll be short of talent. If I could gain the chairman’s recognition at this time, I might have a great opportunity. But let’s not talk about it now, the chance is gone."

"Well... if you really want to go, I can talk to Miao Qingqing again?" Song Xiaodong was somewhat embarrassed.

"Don’t bother. After the scene you just made, if you go over there again, she might call the police directly. You used to be so shrewd, how come you seem so crazy now? Didn’t you get a head injury in the army or something?"

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, and he gave a dry laugh and said, "I just got a bit impulsive because she looks so much like my girlfriend."

"You know what... never mind," Su Yao said, drinking her coffee moodily.

Song Xiaodong thought for a moment before saying, "Su Yao, if you really want to join Qingyuan Group, I’ll think of another way to help you. As long as you have the ability, I’ll definitely help you."

"No need, don’t cause any more trouble for me. I’ll just have to chant ’Amitabha Buddha.’ I really don’t understand how your current girlfriend puts up with you, how she bear with you," Su Yaoyao shook her head repeatedly, clearly not believing Song Xiaodong’s words.

Song Xiaodong grimaced and said, "Su Yao, actually I was joking. That Miao Qingqing is the same Ge Qingqing I brought with me that day."

Su Yao frowned, then suddenly stood up, shaking her head in resignation as she said, "Song Xiaodong, I really didn’t think you could change so much. You can even say such crazy things. Alright, I have other things to do, I’m leaving."

She then left without looking back.

Song Xiaodong was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He was only speaking the truth, yet Su Yao reacted so strongly. It seemed that his image in Su Yao’s mind was really bad.

This made Song Xiaodong feel helpless. At that moment, his phone rang, and it was a WeChat message from Miao Qingqing.

"Come to my office later."

"Not going!" Song Xiaodong replied bluntly.

"Sister Xiaoru asked you to come."

"Alright then..." Song Xiaodong turned around and saw Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru walking out.

Miao Qingqing’s words, she could ignore, but with Sister Xiaoru there, Song Xiaodong had to go.

This was actually the first time Song Xiaodong had come to Qingyuan Group. And during Miao Qingyuan’s funeral, to avoid affecting the company’s insiders, besides a few old directors, no one else was invited. Inside this company, hardly anyone recognized Song Xiaodong.

As Song Xiaodong walked in, he saw Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru entering an elevator, which hadn’t closed yet.

"Wait!" Song Xiaodong rushed toward the elevator and shouted loudly.

"Stop!" Two security guards suddenly stopped him.

"What’s the matter?" Song Xiaodong looked at the two guards with confusion.

Though the guards spoke politely, their tone was quite firm, "That’s an elevator reserved for senior executives, you can’t enter, and also, for external personnel, please register."

Song Xiaodong watched as the elevator door carrying Miao Qingqing and Song Xiaoru closed, and Miao Qingqing even flashed him a triumphant smile just as the doors were shutting.

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, but he had no choice but to follow the guards to register.

"May I ask which department you’re visiting?" After recording the basic information, the guard asked.

"Which department? Oh, I’m here to see your chairman."

"To see the chairman? Do you have an appointment?"

"No."

The guard remained courteous, "I’m sorry but without an appointment, you can’t meet the chairman. The chairman is very busy. If you want to see the chairman, please contact in advance to schedule an appointment."

It seemed the company’s management was quite good; at the very least, the guards were diligent. Song Xiaodong wasn’t the type to show off to the guards. He smiled and said, "She just asked me to come over. Doesn’t that count as an appointment?"

"This..." The guard hesitated for a moment and then said, "Please wait a moment, I will contact the chairman’s secretary immediately."

Just as the guard was about to make the call, a man walked into the security room to get something and upon seeing Song Xiaodong, suddenly said in surprise, "Song Xiaodong?"

Song Xiaodong looked at the man and recognized him as well, saying, "Wang Chenggui."

Wang Chenggui patted Song Xiaodong on the shoulder and said, "Yes, it’s me. I didn’t attend the last class reunion, but later I heard others talking about you. What brings you here?"

The two guards noticed that Song Xiaodong knew someone in the company, and they didn’t make the call right away.

"Wang Chenggui, what are you doing here?"

Wang Chenggui said with pride, "I’m an employee here. I’ve been working here for two years now. Are you here for a job interview?"

"No."

"Then what are you doing? Oh, I get it, you’re here to deliver something, right? Alas, I’ve heard things have been tough for you, it’s such a shame. But you’re still young, if there’s a chance to work hard again, there’s still opportunity for you."

Song Xiaodong felt somewhat amused and said, "I’m here to meet someone."

"Meet someone? Who do you know here?" Wang Chenggui asked with a puzzled face.

"I’m here to see your chairman, Miao Qingqing."

"You’re looking for our chairman?" Wang Chenggui was taken aback for a moment and then his expression turned serious. "I have to say, as an old classmate, you need to be realistic. Even if you’re doing manual labor, I wouldn’t look down on you. But if you keep bluffing and boasting in front of old classmates, then I really might have to look down on you."

Song Xiaodong’s face instantly darkened, wondering why no one would believe him when he was telling the truth, not Su Yao, and now not even Wang Chenggui.
