Chapter 965
Making the best of a bad situation
Century Tower.
Downstairs in the plaza, a black Mercedes-Benz, which had come from the direction of the airport, was quietly parked on the side of the road.
The car door opened.
Yin Mingzhu, dressed in a carefully chosen long dress, bent down and got out of the car.
She looked up!
Looking up with a complex expression, it seemed like a towering skyscraper reaching into the clouds.
Is that person also on the top floor right now, looking down at her through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, just like her?
No.
That's impossible!
It is said that this Century Tower is nearly 400 meters tall. Looking down from the top floor, not to mention people, even vehicles driving on the road look like ants...
Get rid of these unrealistic thoughts in your mind.
Yin Mingzhu took a deep breath.
I stepped onto the steps that faced the company lobby.
Following closely behind, Yu Li, carrying a briefcase in both hands, walked forward with a hint of inquiry and curiosity in her eyes.
Wait until you've climbed all the steps.
Step into the hall!
More and more people started to gather around.
Having identified the direction, Yin Mingzhu walked directly to the front desk in the lobby on the first floor.
Her original intention was to ask which elevator she should take to get to the top floor so she could see that bastard Lu Yang.
But at that moment, the surrounding crowd suddenly quieted down. Wherever she went, everyone bowed slightly, greeted her respectfully, and said "Madam" before straightening up and going about their own business.
Hearing these repeated calls of "Madam".
Yin Mingzhu knew that she had been misunderstood. She had been mistaken for Yin Mingyue, the wife of that bastard Lu Yang, by the employees of his company. After all, they were twins. Apart from the younger sister's stutter and the difference in temperament caused by their different upbringing, it was difficult for people who were not very familiar with each other to tell them apart just by looking at their appearance.
Her face turned bright red.
There was a hint of inexplicable glee at being addressed as "Madam," but more than that, there was embarrassment and anger, as well as resentment at being forced to act as a substitute for her younger sister, Yin Mingyue.
All these emotions have caused her to clench her fists and her whole body to tremble.
"Sister Mingzhu."
Yu Li stepped forward and grasped her arm, which was clenched tightly as she trembled all over.
"Don't do that. Be natural. We're here today to ask for their help. Since they've admitted their mistake, why not go with the flow and have someone guide us? That way, we can see President Lu sooner, right?"
Is the company completely finished, or will it rise from the ashes?
Now, only this last straw remains.
If we can't grasp this last straw and lose it, then it's all over.
Since its establishment, Mingzhu Media has weathered countless storms and is about to reap the rewards. It is only one step away from a successful IPO and listing on the A-share market. If it fails at this point, or is completely destroyed, no one would be willing to accept it.
She believed that Mingzhu, the woman in front of her, would not be content with this.
And she was even more unwilling to accept it.
As for the grudges and grievances between Sister Mingzhu and the man she was about to meet, she was actually one of the people who knew about them. In fact, many of the things were told to her by Sister Mingzhu herself.
Therefore, she could somewhat understand Mingzhu's feelings at this moment, as she was mistaken for her own younger sister and the wife of the man she had worked so hard to break off her engagement with years ago. She must have felt very sad and heartbroken.
However, for the sake of the company, for the sake of the company's survival, and for the sake of ensuring that all the hard work of the team is not wasted.
Sister Mingzhu, please, please, you absolutely must bear with it!!
Looking at Yu Li, his female subordinate of ten years, whom he treated like a younger sister, and seeing the pleading look in her eyes...
She clenched her fists, then slowly relaxed them.
His chest heaved.
Several deep breaths in succession.
She forced herself to calm down. "Let's go, let's continue."
talking.
With her beautiful, swan-like neck slightly tilted upwards, she walked with elegant and proud steps to the front desk in the company lobby.
"Excuse me……"
She hadn't finished speaking.
Before she could finish speaking, the two girls at the front desk had already bowed to her.
"Madam, are you here to visit the chairman? Please come with me."
That saves her the trouble of lying.
Since someone was willing to lead the way, she naturally kept her mouth shut.
Not surprisingly.
She was led to the only elevator that could take her to the 80th and 81st floors, an elevator that only senior executives of the group were qualified to use.
and,
She doesn't need to do anything.
The receptionist who led her here has already pressed the elevator button for her!
"Please, Madam!"
"Ding!"
The moment the elevator doors opened.
A look of extreme embarrassment flashed across Yin Mingzhu's face.
Because she remembered.
Before coming, her mother had specifically warned her to be careful when riding this elevator, because it was equipped with high-definition cameras that led directly to the top-floor office area of the group. Every little thing she did could potentially be seen by that bastard Lu Yang. And now…
She was pretending to be his wife.
"That bastard, is he watching the security camera right now, enjoying seeing her humiliating state on screen?"
Thinking of this, she found it difficult to walk.
But since I was already there, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside.
Yin Mingzhu's thinking in this way shows that she was not wronging Lu Yang at all.
You guessed right.
There was no prize!
Lu Yang was indeed sitting in his office watching the surveillance footage, with his legs crossed, eating potato chips and drinking cola, looking quite relaxed, commenting on the sounds and images on the monitor.
"Yin Mingzhu, I never thought you'd end up like this."
"I'm embarrassed for you even if you're not embarrassed."
"You're so eager to see me that you're even going so far as to impersonate your own sister. You really have no bottom line!"
Lu Yang didn't just wait until she got on the elevator before watching the surveillance footage.
Actually, she was spotted by the company's security personnel shortly after she got out of the car, before she even approached the company's lobby and had just climbed a few steps. They then notified her.
Is the lady here?
No, no, that's impossible.
Over the years, since he married Mingyue, she has never interfered in any of his business affairs. Even after they moved from their hometown to Pengcheng and settled in the city where the group is located, Mingyue has never come to the company to check up on him without his prior notice!
Lu Yang only heard this one sentence.
He knew in his heart that the people below must have misunderstood and mistaken him for someone else; it must be that wicked woman who had come.
Yin Mingzhu is coming today.
He should come in person to apologize for what happened back then.
She begged him to help save her company.
Not only did his mother-in-law subtly mention this to him yesterday during the day, but last night, after playing cards and almost falling asleep from exhaustion, his wife also whispered something in his ear.
But now,
That woman even went so far as to impersonate her own daughter-in-law.
Just so you can see yourself sooner?
Or perhaps, fearing her identity would be exposed, she would order people down below to intercept her and prevent her from coming up?
really interesting.
"Ding!"
We've reached the top floor.
The elevator doors opened, and Yin Mingzhu straightened her clothes slightly before stepping out of the elevator.
He whispered to Yu Li behind him, "I'll go in alone later. You wait for me outside. If I don't come out in half an hour, knock on the door. No, never mind. If I don't come out, you don't need to worry about it. Just find a place to eat at noon. I'll contact you when I come out."
Take a deep breath.
She clenched her fists and silently cheered herself on.
I'm about to meet that person.
Moreover, she still doesn't know what the other person is thinking.
What if...we kick her out later?
Then she's finished, and the company is finished too.
A woman who impersonated her sister to meet her brother-in-law was kicked out by him and thrown out of the company. If this news got out...
Not to mention that the company is already barely surviving.
He's already low on health.
Even if the company is still at its peak and full of energy, wouldn't it be as easy for the other party to crush it as to crush an ant?
Don't forget how Mingzhu Multimedia Advertising Company and Mingzhu Home Appliance Chain Co., Ltd. died and were acquired.
"lady!?"
"No, you must be Miss Yin Mingzhu, right?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yin, I've mistaken you for someone else."
"Come with me, the chairman is already waiting for you."
If the people downstairs haven't met Yin Mingyue, the chairman's wife, many times, and rarely see her in public except at the annual meeting, then it's possible they might mistake her for someone else. However, if the employees of the group's headquarters upstairs, especially those outside Lu Yang's office, still make the mistake, then it's unforgivable.
Soon someone notified Lu Nini, the chairman's assistant.
Lu Nini arrived quickly as well.
He personally led Yin Mingyue to Lu Yang's office.
“Sister Mingzhu, the chairman… no matter what he says, you’d better just bear with it. You know he’s the kind of person who responds best to gentle persuasion but not to force. I also know that you and he are actually quite similar in personality… you are both my idols, so just apologize properly, I think he… Brother Lu Yang will definitely forgive you.”
I arrived outside the office.
Just before knocking on the door, Lu Nini couldn't help but give a hint.
Yin Mingzhu looked at the little girl next door who used to follow her around like a yes-man when she was little.
There was a long silence.
Helplessly, she said softly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Nini, thank you."
Lu Nini quickly said, "You're welcome."
Then push the door open.
He let Yin Mingzhu in and gently closed the door. He exchanged a glance with Yu Li, who was following behind Yin Mingzhu. The two young women turned around simultaneously and stood on either side of the office door, neither showing any intention of leaving, becoming two guardian deities. (End of Chapter)
