C504 I Saw the Price She Paid
The boss nodded." Yeah, you're all from the opposite company, right? Your colleague just left. "
Lieh Xiaoruan's heart was filled with regret. She looked at the time and planned to go directly to the bidding site.
However, just as she stepped out of the printing shop, the sky suddenly darkened.
Immediately after, lightning streaked across the sky. The sound of rolling thunder came from the black clouds.
Lieh Xiaoruan turned on her phone and found that half an hour ago, the weather forecast had just released a storm warning.
Her heart skipped a beat. She picked up her phone and called Secretary Chen. "Secretary Chen, did you and Director Luo drive to the scene?"
Secretary Chen said, "Yes, we drove there. Director Luo said you were tired just now, so he didn't call you."
Lieh Xiaoruan said, " Okay, I got it, "said Lieh Xiaoruan.
She did not go out but went straight to the company building.
She had seen Luo Tianqi enter the computer password before. So, she easily turned on his computer.
She copied the bidding file with a USB drive, but she printed the price page in her own company.
Then, she went to the printing shop.
"Boss, print three pieces of the bidding documents." Lieh Xiaoruan said.
While they were talking, the sound of thunder rumbled outside. Very quickly, the heavy rain poured down and quickly engulfed the entire city.
It was almost 9 o'clock. Lieh Xiaoruan received the standard that the boss had ordered and was about to leave when she received a call from Secretary Chen. "Xiaoruan, go to Director Luo's office right now to open his computer and print the book!"
Lieh Xiaoruan was stunned. "What's wrong?"
Secretary Chen said, "We had an accident on the way. The bidding documents were wet! You go and print three copies, then go directly to the auction site. Director Luo will rush over..."
Lieh Xiaoruan interrupted her, however. "I just saw the rainstorm and was worried that you would be stuck in traffic, so I printed it in advance. I will take the subway right now."
After saying that, she put the marker into the waterproof bag that she had prepared in advance, opened the umbrella, and rushed out.
It was windy and rainy outside. In almost an instant, Lieh Xiaoruan was completely drenched.
She did not hesitate and ran towards the subway station.
It took about half an hour to take the subway from the company to the auction site.
Of course, it was faster to drive, but that was under the premise that there were no accidents.
The ground was filled with water. When some cars passed by, they would not care about whether there were pedestrians or not and would just fly past.
Lieh Xiaoruan only felt a chill on her body and half of her body was splashed with mud.
Her footsteps did not slow down at all. Instead, she stepped on the water and quickly rushed into the subway station.
Along the way, she used the subway card borrowed from her colleagues to swipe. When she got into the car, the car was filled with cold air. It was only then that she felt a little bitter and cold.
At a distance of about ten stations, her gaze had been fixed on the indicator light on it. She only hoped that the time could be a little faster.
At 9: 15, she finally reached the station, so she rushed out again.
The wind and rain outside were even stronger. Her umbrella was blown away, so she simply put it away and carried the waterproof bag, continuing to run wildly.
Her phone seemed to ring. She picked it up and answered, but she did not slow down. "Mr Tianqi, I will be right there. Wait for me at the entrance of their company."
Lieh Xiaoruan did not hear what Luo Tianqi said clearly. When she crossed the road, she was almost hit by a car.
While the driver was cursing, she had already run to the company's entrance.
At the company's entrance, Luo Tianqi was anxiously looking at the time. His pants were also wet by the rain and looked a little messy. Seeing that it was only the last five minutes, he became more and more anxious.
At this moment, a figure entered his line of sight.
In the rain, the girl was covered in mud. Her tall figure seemed a little thin because she was completely drenched.
Her hair kept dripping with water. Her curly hair had long lost its shape. The makeup on her face had long been worn, and it looked like a color palette.
However, when she saw him, her eyes lit up. She wiped the water off her face and ran towards him.
"Mr Tianqi, the sign is in the waterproof bag!" Lieh Xiaoruan quickly stuffed the waterproof bag into Luo Tianqi's hands.
At that moment, his fingertips touched hers and found that she was exceptionally cold.
Seeing that he was still hesitating about something, Lieh Xiaoruan hurriedly said, "There are only the last three minutes. Quickly go in! Don't worry about me."
Luo Tianqi wanted to say something, but it was too late. He could only take the marker and quickly rushed in.
When he arrived at the bidding hall, it was 9: 30.
When the other party saw him, he smiled and said, "Director Luo, we thought you wouldn't come."
Luo Tianqi smiled and placed two of the quotes on the table. He smiled and said: "How could that be? This is a project that our company has put in more effort into. It's just that there was an accident on the road just now. It was a little late. "
As he spoke, the image of Lieh Xiaoruan surfaced in his mind just now.
She had obviously rushed all the way here. Her entire body was covered in water. She, who loved beauty, would actually let herself be like this.
He had heard of her from other sources a long time ago, and at that time, he had a bad impression of her.
Later on, after he found out that she was Gong Lingye's biological sister, when he met her, his impression of her gradually changed, and he discovered that she was actually just a little spoiled little girl in the family when she was young.
Only now did he realize that she was far from what he had heard in the rumors.
Heavenly Palace Group was surrounded by people, Soong Yiren was surrounded by reporters, and she would stand out and willingly expose her own scars.
Now that something had happened in the company, not only could she calmly analyze the situation that might happen, she would also disregard her image and rush over like this, afraid that she would lose the company's interests.
She had just been drenched in sweat. She should be fine, right?
Although Luo Tianqi was worried, Secretary Chen was now dealing with a traffic accident. He had to continue the later parts of the bidding, because he still had to discuss the details of the bidding with the other company. Therefore, he could not leave at all!
After Luo Tianqi took a seat, he picked up his phone and planned to send a message to Gong Lingye. However, he realized that his phone was still fine just now. He did not know if it was in water, but it did not recognize the SIM card!
At this moment, Lieh Xiaoruan came out of the company's entrance and prepared to go back and change into clean clothes.
Who would have thought that just as she walked to the street entrance, a few young thugs whistled at her. "Little beauty, you don't have an umbrella and you are homeless? Go with your brother! I'll take you to take a shower! "
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to pull Lieh Xiaoruan.
Because of the heavy rain, there were not many people on the streets. Even if there were cars passing by, no one would notice them.
Lieh Xiaoruan had also learned some simple defensive techniques. But, after all, she was only one person. Plus, how could a girl's strength compare to a man's?
Instantly, she was forced to the side of the wall. Just as those people's dirty hands were about to touch her!
