Chapter 139 Shen Shiling

What made An Rushong feel speechless was that after leaving the Jamsil residential area, the seven-seater commercial vehicle actually circled back to Shiqiao and finally drove into the underground parking lot of Qingpu Building.

After getting off the car in the underground parking lot, An Rushong followed Nan Xuyu closely and took Elevator No. 2 to the 11th floor.

When they came out of the elevator on the 11th floor, there was a young man dressed as a waiter guarding outside the elevator door. After seeing Nan Xuyu, the young man led them to another elevator door, swiped the elevator card for them, and sent them to the 15th floor.

Qingpu Building is a property owned by Samsung Group, or more precisely, a property of Samsung Corning, a subsidiary of Samsung Group. There are related advertisements for Samsung monitors on its outer walls and roof.

As he was taking the elevator up, An Rusong discovered that the elevator from the underground garage could only go up to the 11th floor, while the entire building had 27 floors. He and Nan Xuyu changed elevators on the 11th floor, but this elevator could only go up to the 19th floor. If his estimate was correct, he would have to change elevators again to get to the top floor.

Just look at the complexity of this elevator, and you will know how dishonest this property is. God knows how many evil spirits live in this seemingly ordinary building, and how much mud and dirty water is hidden in it.

"Ding!"

With a slight sound, the elevator arrived at the 15th floor. As the two mirror-clear elevator doors slowly opened, a woman wearing a short-sleeved blue and white porcelain cheongsam appeared in front of the two men.

"Director Nan, welcome," the woman had a beautiful face and elegant manners, and she spoke softly and delicately. Every sentence, even every word, sounded as if she was acting coquettishly to someone.

Nan Xuyu obviously knew this woman. He bowed slightly to her in return and said with a smile, "Shiling, I haven't seen you for two weeks. You seem to have become younger and more beautiful."

"Director Nan, you are too kind," the woman chuckled, "but every time you see someone, you always say these two sentences. Aren't you complimenting them too carelessly?"

"Really?" Nan Xuyu walked out of the elevator, laughed and said, "But words spoken without thinking are the true words, aren't they?"

The woman didn't say anything. She smiled and turned her gaze to An Rushong.

"Ah, let me introduce you," Nan Xuyu said, "This is my new assistant, An Rusong."

After that, he turned to An Rusong and said, "Rusong, this is Ms. Shin Se-ryung. Don't look down on her just because she is young and beautiful. You have to remember that in the big city of Seoul, the aboveground part has to listen to Oh Se-hun, and the underground world has to listen to Shin Se-ryung."

The Oh Sehun he was talking about is the current mayor of Seoul.

"Director Nan is making fun of me again," Shen Shiling said in a reproachful tone, and then turned her gaze to An Rushong.

"Ms. Shen," An Rushong bowed respectfully and greeted the other party.

"Just call me Sister Shiling," Shen Shiling bowed in return and said with a smile, "Since you are Director Nan's assistant, you are not an outsider. Don't be so unfamiliar with me when addressing me."

An Rusong changed the address and said, "Sister Shi Ling."

Shen Shiling was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon she smiled and narrowed her eyes. It was amazing that when this woman narrowed her eyes while smiling, she actually gave people a very comfortable feeling, as if they were facing a close neighbor sister.

In fact, anyone can tell that Shen Shiling and Nan Xuyu are not very close. Listen to how she addresses Nan Xuyu, he is "Director Nan" from beginning to end. Therefore, what she said "not an outsider" is just a standard courtesy.

But An Rushong didn't care about that. He was a young man, ignorant, and inexperienced. He couldn't understand what was being polite or not. In terms of his personality, he just wanted to be obedient. Since the other party asked him to call her "Sister Shiling", he readily changed the address.

Don't underestimate such a name, it can sometimes work wonders. Just like An Rusong called Shen Shiling "Sister Shiling", in the short term, the latter may feel unhappy, but over time, when she gets used to An Rusong calling her like this, she will naturally feel close to An Rusong in her heart. This closeness is an illusion, but it can also affect her emotions.

For people other than Shen Shiling, this title is even more subtle. To give an inappropriate example, if someone is the mayor, holding great power, others must respectfully address him as "mayor", but you can address him as "brother", and in this way, for those who must address him as "mayor", you are someone they must please and fawn on.

Therefore, it is not shameful to talk about little thoughts like An Rushong's. In fact, any practice that can gain benefits is not shameful. The truly shameful thing is the kind of people who are self-righteous, arrogant, and ultimately nothing.

"Haha, Director Nan, your little assistant is quite interesting," Shen Shiling said with her hands covering her mouth after a moment of silence.

"Young man, you don't know the seriousness of the matter." Nan Xuyu turned his head and glanced at An Rushong, and said in a tone that was neither light nor heavy, "Why don't you apologize to Director Shen?"

"I'm sorry, Sister Shiling," An Rushong bowed respectfully to apologize.

"Haha." Shen Shiling laughed even louder. While laughing, she reached out her hand and patted An Rusong on the shoulder, then said, "Okay, okay, you didn't do anything wrong." After saying that, she turned to Nan Xuyu and smiled, "Then, Director Nan, let's go to the box. Secretary Jiang is already here."

Nan Xuyu didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Afterwards, led by Shen Shiling, the three of them walked along the corridor to the right and soon arrived at a double door.

Outside the door, there was a young girl dressed the same as Shen Shiling. When they saw the group of people coming, the two girls bowed to the three people first, and then each of them took charge of one door and pushed open the originally closed door.

"Director Nan, please make yourself at home," Shen Shiling stopped at the door, made a gesture of invitation and said, "Have a nice evening."

Nan Xuyu bowed slightly to the other party, and then walked quickly into the door. Behind him, An Rusong also saluted Shen Shiling, and then followed Nan Xuyu into the door amid the other party's smile.

Unexpectedly, the room inside the door was not spacious at all. It looked like about a hundred square meters at most, and the decoration style was very strange. There were bamboo forests, flowers, pavilions, and flowing water. It looked like an exquisite small Chinese garden.

At this time, in that quaint little pavilion, there sat a young man who looked to be around 25 or 26 years old at most. He sat on a stone bench, and on the small table in front of him were some fruits, desserts and the like.

Seeing An Rusong and the other man walk in, the young man stood up, came over with a smile, and took the initiative to greet them, "Director Nan."

After greeting him, he bowed 90 degrees to Nan Xuyu. This attitude was quite humble.

"Yi Yu, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long," Nan Xuyu walked up to him, returned the greeting to him first, and then said with a smile.

"I just arrived too," the young man was Jiang Yiyu. He turned sideways, making way to the pavilion, and said.

"Come on, come on, let's sit down and talk," Nan Xuyu did not go directly to the pavilion. He patted Jiang Yiyu's shoulder and invited him to sit down together.

"Who is this?" Jiang Yiyu didn't move. He glanced at An Rushong and asked curiously.

"Ah, this is my new assistant, An Rushong." Nan Xuyu seemed to have just remembered An Rushong. He turned slightly and introduced the two of them, "Rushong, this is your brother Yiyu."

"Brother Yi Yu," An Rushong said with a smile.

When facing Jiang Yiyu, he smiled a little reservedly, without any flattering intention. Although Nan Xuyu had said before that he should get closer to Jiang Yiyu and contact him more in the future, after listening to Nan Xuyu's introduction, he knew that the fat man's real target was not Jiang Yiyu himself, but the lawyer Liu Rongxia he represented. Jiang Yiyu was just a bridge.

In addition, in the short time since entering the room, An Rushong has been observing Jiang Yiyu. He can feel that although this person is younger than Liu Taihe, his attitude towards people is much calmer and more restrained than Liu Taihe. At least he does not have the aggressive rich boy style of Liu Taihe.

"Rusong, nice to meet you," Jiang Yiyu turned around and patted An Rusong's left arm, saying with a smile, "We should get closer in the future."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and took out a business card from his pocket, handed it to An Rusong, and said, "This is my business card."

"Thank you, Brother Yi Yu," An Rushong took the business card with both hands, then took out his business card holder, took out a business card, and handed it over with both hands.

Jiang Yiyu also stretched out his hands to take the business card, then nodded to An Rushong, and then he and Nan Xuyu walked into the pavilion one after another.

There was a low and long table in the pavilion. After entering the pavilion, Nan Xuyu sat in the main seat, while Jiang Yiyu sat opposite him. As for An Rushong, he sat at the end of the table. Generally, people sitting in his position need to take the initiative to pour wine for the people in the main seat and the accompanying seats.

Things like etiquette were covered in Min Hyun-soo's previous training, so An Rushong was able to handle them with ease.

After entering the pavilion, he did not sit cross-legged like Nan Xuyu, Jiang Yiyu and others, but knelt in his seat. The first thing he did after sitting down was to pour wine and tea for the remaining two people.

Jiang Yiyu behaved very politely. When An Rushong poured wine for him, he stretched out his hand to protect the cup and bowed slightly.

"Yi Yu, did Lawyer Liu give you any instructions before you came?" Nan Xuyu was the first person to speak after they sat down. He didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
