"Who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist's voice was cold and devoid of any warmth.
Li Yan was slightly taken aback, not expecting to be stopped again.
"I'm looking for Duan Yujing, I'm his..." Li Yan was interrupted by the receptionist before she could finish speaking.
"No entry without an appointment," the receptionist said firmly, her tone impatient.
Li Yan was somewhat displeased, but she didn't want to argue with this young girl.
She smiled and said, "Could you call Duan Yujing for me and tell him I'm waiting for him downstairs?"
The receptionist rolled her eyes at her: "I'm busy, I don't have time. Figure it out yourself."
After saying that, she lowered her head and continued doing her own thing, ignoring Li Yan.
Li Yan's anger flared up instantly, but she held back, took out her phone, and called Duan Yujing.
"Yujing, I'm downstairs at your company, but the receptionist won't let me in."
Upon hearing this, Duan Yujing on the other end of the phone was immediately furious.
"Wait here, I'll be right down."
Duan Yujing hung up the phone and immediately got up and went downstairs.
A short while later, Duan Yujing appeared in the lobby.
His face was terribly gloomy. He walked straight to the front desk and looked coldly at the girl.
"What's wrong with you? Why won't you let her in?"
The receptionist turned pale with fright when she saw Duan Yujing.
She stammered, "Mr. Duan... Mr. Duan, I didn't know she was your..."
The receptionist was stunned; her expression instantly changed from arrogant to fearful.
"Mr. Duan... Mr. Duan, I..."
The receptionist stammered, unable to speak, her body trembling slightly as she realized she had made an unforgivable mistake.
She even tried to argue her way out, preemptively accusing Li Yan, her voice trembling slightly and feigning grievance: "President Duan, she attacked first. I was just following company rules and regulations. She forced her way in without an appointment. I was simply doing my job..."
Duan Yujing looked at her coldly: "I don't know you, and I don't want to listen to your nonsense here."
Duan Yujing's voice was icy cold. He took out his phone and called his secretary to come down and handle the situation.
"Hey, secretary, come down to the lobby right away. There's something I need you to handle."
Duan Yujing spoke concisely and clearly, with an unquestionable tone.
A short while later, the secretary rushed over.
He was startled by the scene before him and quickly went to Duan Yujing's side.
"Mr. Duan, what's going on?" the secretary asked cautiously.
Duan Yujing pointed to the reception desk and said, "Fire this employee. I don't want to see her in the company again. Also, find out how she got in and why she has such poor manners."
The secretary nodded quickly and agreed: "Yes, Mr. Duan, I'll take care of it right away."
Duan Yujing turned around, looked at Li Yan tenderly, and gently took Li Yan's hand.
"Yan'er, I'm sorry, I've made you suffer." Duan Yujing said with heartache.
Li Yan shook her head and said, "I'm fine. As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything."
She held Duan Yujing's hand tightly, as if at this moment, the whole world consisted of only the two of them.
The receptionist panicked completely after learning that she was about to be fired.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were filled with fear and despair; her previous arrogance had vanished without a trace.
"Miss Li, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."
The receptionist, her voice trembling with tears, ran up to Li Yan and tried to grab her hand to plead for her life.
Li Yan frowned and subconsciously took a step back, dodging her hand.
