Chapter 1697: Chapter 1693: In a Flurry
"What?" The previously calm voice of the woman suddenly became incredibly excited, "Where?"
"At Uncle Xie’s restaurant! The esteemed one must have just returned!"
"Alright! I’ll head over immediately!"
With that, the phone was promptly hung up.
Du Fan put away his phone, a hint of a smile appeared on his face.
There are many chairmen in Beijiang City, including some from large multinational companies.
But the only person Du Fan would address as chairman is one person.
That is the controller of Longtai Group, known for holding half of Beijiang’s sky, Qin Yu!
Nowadays, the scale of Longtai Group has more than doubled, especially after cooperating with Tianyuan Group, the leading giant in China, Longtai Group began to develop at a breathtaking speed.
Moreover, the founder of Longtai Group, the Qin Family, became the leading aristocratic clan in Beijiang.
And the Qin Family’s elder, Qin Yuan, has long handed over all affairs to his granddaughter, Qin Yu, for management.
This has made Qin Yu one of the wealthiest individuals in Beijiang and indeed in the whole of China.
With such enormous wealth, despite Qin Yu’s low-key conduct, she has become an object of admiration for countless people.
Yet, ordinary people rarely see her; in all of Beijiang, those who have her phone number and can directly contact her are very few.
Du Fan happens to be one of them.
However, usually, Du Fan has never dialed this number.
Because he knows, although he is respectfully called Brother Fan wherever he goes, compared to Qin Yu, there’s still a disparity in status.
But this time, Du Fan proved his value through this matter.
Meanwhile, in the top floor of the towering Longtai Building in the center of Beijiang City.
Qin Yu’s secretary was organizing the documents needed for the next day.
At this moment, though it was very late, the day’s work was far from over.
However, this young secretary had already become accustomed to such a lifestyle.
Because not only was he working overtime, the distant office’s light showed that the chairman was also working.
Others are already billion-dollar goddesses and still work so hard, what right does he have to complain?
Moreover, his current job not only pays generously but is also very prestigious.
Just mention working at Longtai Group and being Chairwoman Qin’s secretary, and anyone would look up to him.
At this moment, the young secretary suddenly thought the chairman was not only beautiful but also capable, with such a huge company under her, yet she remains single.
It’s not that no one pursues her; on the contrary.
The number of people wanting to see the chairman is innumerable, yet, apart from work matters, she talks of nothing else.
Really don’t know what kind of man would be worthy of a woman like the chairman!
While the young secretary was lost in thought, suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from the office.
The young secretary immediately straightened up, ready to listen to the chairman’s instructions.
But at that moment, he saw the office door being pushed open, and Qin Yu rushed out, moving so fast she almost knocked over the feng shui vase at the entrance.
Nevertheless, Qin Yu’s speed did not slow a bit; instead, she ran faster.
Even in the middle of her run, because her high heels were a bit troublesome, Qin Yu kicked them off and sprinted barefoot.
The young secretary’s mouth gradually opened wide, staring in shock at Qin Yu’s departing figure as a big question mark appeared above his head.
Chairwoman... what happened?
With Qin Yu’s status, she naturally had a private elevator, but in such a tall building, even with an elevator, it would take several minutes to reach the ground floor.
During this time, Qin Yu took a moment to adjust her makeup in the elevator mirror, removing the overly professional aura and gathering her loose hair into a simple ponytail.
Looking at herself in the mirror, with less assertiveness and seemingly more graceful and charming, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief and then took out her phone to dial her grandfather’s number.
The call connected quickly.
Because unless it was very urgent, Qin Yu rarely used her phone to contact Qin Yuan.
"What’s going on?"
"The esteemed one is back!"
There was a brief silence on the other end, then Qin Yuan spoke solemnly, "Where? When did he return?"
"At Uncle Xie’s place, according to Du Fan, he should have returned tonight!"
"Alright! You go first, I’ll follow soon!"
Qin Yu was surprised.
Since she took over Longtai Group, her grandfather had retired completely and hardly ever appeared in public; unexpectedly, he was going to make an appearance this time.
"The esteemed one has been a benefactor to our Qin Family, having fought his battles and returned, even if I were bedridden, I must meet him!"
Qin Yu’s expression became solemn, "Yes! I understand!"
The call ended, and the elevator coincidentally reached the ground floor.
With a ding, the elevator doors slowly opened.
The receptionist responsible for this elevator on the ground floor quickly stepped forward.
"Chairwoman!"
Qin Yu had no time to pay her any mind and walked ahead.
At this moment, the receptionist noticed that Qin Yu was barefoot, and couldn’t help but be shocked, her mouth gaping.
Just then, Qin Yu suddenly stopped and looked down at the receptionist’s sport shoes.
"How much?"
"Uh?"
"I asked how much the shoes cost!" Qin Yu raised her voice.
The receptionist was a bit baffled and replied shakily, "Eight... eight hundred!"
Qin Yu turned to the breathless secretary, who had finally caught up, and said, "Give her five thousand later!"
"Huh? Yes!"
Then Qin Yu said to the receptionist, "Take them off!"
The receptionist was already dumbfounded, clumsily removed her shoes, and Qin Yu immediately put them on, striding out.
The secretary was a bit stunned, quickened her steps, "Chairwoman...."
"No need to follow me!"
With that, Qin Yu walked straight through the lobby, ignoring the astonished gazes of those around and exited Longtai Building, directly getting into a sports car.
She pressed the accelerator, and the car roared like an arrow shot from a bow, disappearing into the vast night in an instant.
Old Xie’s Restaurant wasn’t close to Longtai Building, but with Qin Yu’s nearly frantic speed, she arrived within five minutes.
But she didn’t park directly in front of Old Xie’s Restaurant; she parked far away and walked over like Du Fan.
Du Fan was waiting at the door, and upon seeing her, he quickly approached, "Chairwoman Qin!"
Qin Yu nodded, "Is the esteemed one still here?"
"He’s inside drinking!"
Qin Yu took a deep breath, looking with complex eyes at the small restaurant, then stepped forward and gently pushed open the door.
Everyone looked up in unison upon hearing the sound.
Qin Yu immediately saw Xue An sitting in the center, and her heart skipped a beat.
The aura around the esteemed one seemed entirely unfathomable, especially his eyes, as deep as the starry sky.
But soon, Qin Yu regained her composure, smiled slightly at Xue An, "Esteemed one!"
