Chapter 796 - 836: Old Master Su Arrives
On Monday, Xu Yingying arrived at the company just like any other day to handle the matters at hand, when her secretary came in to report that an elderly person, who had come from the Capital City, wanted to see her. However, the visitor’s identity was not disclosed.
Xu Yingying didn’t think much of it, assuming it might be a client, so she instructed the secretary to let the visitor in. Shortly after, a man in his seventies entered, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, followed by two muscular men. With a gesture from the old man, the two bodyguards positioned themselves by the door and closed it once he was inside.
Although Xu Yingying couldn’t see the old man’s face, the air of importance around him was unmistakable. She promptly stood to greet him, saying, "Good day, sir. I am Xu Yingying."
The elder took off his hat, revealing an imposing face that radiated authority without anger. He simply looked at Xu Yingying without speaking.
Xu Yingying, upon seeing the old man, was struck by a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn’t quite place him.
"I am Su Fuguo," the elder introduced himself slowly.
"Su Fuguo... Ah... Vice Premier Su!" Xu Yingying finally recognized the man. He was none other than the country’s Vice Premier, the patriarch of the Su family. She was suddenly flustered, struggling with her words to the point of not being able to offer him a seat.
"What’s the matter? Aren’t you going to offer me a seat?" Su Fuguo’s expression remained genial.
"Please, have a seat! Vice Premier Su, take a seat!" Xu Yingying managed to compose herself and hurriedly invited Su Fuguo to sit down, then stood across from him, unsure of where to rest her hands.
Waving his hand dismissively, Su Fuguo said, "Please sit. I am here to see you not as the Vice Premier on inspection, nor as the helmsman of the Su family to check on the company, but simply as Su Mengxin’s grandfather."
