After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder

The receptionist stared blankly at the hung-up call. She hadn't even had time to tell Zhang Na that the caller was Qu Qingdai. Qu Qingdai had recently become a popular figure on variety shows, and her fame had skyrocketed. She thought she might be a customer of the company, though she knew the possibility was very low. After all, Qu Qingdai had brought an insulated box, clearly for the CEO. She had never seen a customer bring an insulated box to discuss business.

The receptionist turned to look at Qu Qingdai, who was sitting not far away. She quickly walked over, stopped, and said apologetically, "Ms. Qu, I'm really sorry. The president is in a meeting right now and is very busy. Look at this..."

"It's okay. When will your CEO be done?" Qu Qingdai looked up at the large clock on the wall, still smiling, and asked gently. She thought to herself that she wasn't in a hurry and could wait for him here for a while, but seeing the embarrassed look on the young lady's face, she knew that things might not be that simple.

"I'm not sure about that. Why don't you come back another day?" the receptionist said cautiously, calculating. Perhaps the next time Miss Qu came, she'd have a chance to see the president. If they waited here, they might not even have a chance to see him. After all, he never left through the main entrance, and they had no idea when he'd leave.

"I see. Could you lend me your phone?" Qu Qingdai said with a smile, pointing to the landline at the front desk. Ah Mo didn't know she was looking for him, so he hadn't informed anyone there. She thought it would be best to call him in person. She'd been in such a rush when she left that she'd forgotten her phone. Fortunately, she'd memorized his number, or she'd be back empty-handed.

"Of course, please feel free to use it." The receptionist said casually with a kind smile on her face. Then, she led Qu Qingdai to the telephone at the front desk.

"Thank you. You can go about your business. You don't have to come and greet me." Qu Qingdai said with a smile. In her heart, she couldn't help but praise the little receptionist for her good attitude.

In a spacious and solemn conference room, Su Jingmo stood before a large screen, methodically expounding on the company's upcoming plans and its future development blueprint after relocating to Beijing. His voice was steady and powerful, yet devoid of warmth, like winter ice, conveying an invisible pressure.

The entire conference room was filled with a tense atmosphere, with only Su Jingmo's stern voice echoing. Every word he spoke was imbued with deep thought, and every decision he made displayed his extraordinary wisdom and insight. Everyone listened intently, not slacking off for fear of missing a single detail.

"Beep...beep..." When the meeting was halfway through, a crisp and pleasant cell phone ringtone suddenly rang, instantly breaking the original quiet atmosphere in the meeting room.

Everyone glanced at each other nervously, their eyes filled with anxiety and panic. They wondered, "It was Secretary Zhang's phone that rang just now. Secretary Zhang wasn't in the meeting room now, so who on earth was so audacious to leave it on right now?"

Everyone saw deep sympathy in each other's eyes. If this had happened once, perhaps the president would have chosen to forgive him, since he hadn't been speaking just then. But the second time, it was hard to say. Furthermore, he had been interrupted so unfortunate that the person whose phone rang was truly unlucky. Everyone thought the same thing, hoping the president wouldn't take his anger out on innocent people like them.

Su Jingmo quickly pulled his phone out of his pocket. When he saw the caller ID, his brow furrowed in confusion. He knew that only his beloved Dai Dai and the villa's housekeeper had access to this phone number, but the caller ID in front of him was unfamiliar. Could something have happened at home? A surge of anxiety surged in his heart, and he quickly pressed the answer button, asking in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"

"Guess who I am?" Qu Qingdai's playful voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of agility and liveliness.

"Daidai?" Su Jingmo heard a familiar giggle from the other end of the line and whispered in confusion. Why would she call him from an unfamiliar number? The key question wasn't that, but where was she right now? She'd agreed to be in the studio painting all day, so was she calling him now because something had happened? Su Jingmo was so anxious that he didn't even notice the smile in Qu Qingdai's voice.

"Dismiss!" Su Jingmo suddenly raised his head, his icy gaze sweeping across the group of senior officials like a sharp sword. Their eyes flashed with various expressions. Su Jingmo spoke coldly. He had extremely important matters to attend to and didn't have time to waste with them any longer.

After hearing Su Jingmo's words, all the executives scurried out of the conference room like frightened rabbits. At that moment, they couldn't care less about their image. In their opinion, being criticized by the CEO was much better than being laughed at by others.

Although they were filled with surprise, not understanding why the CEO's phone rang during a meeting, and even more curious about who was calling and why their usually cold-blooded boss's eyes had softened after answering the phone, they still wouldn't dare eavesdrop on the CEO's private phone call, even if they had a hundred guts.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Su Jingmo was the only one left standing in the spacious conference room. He raised his lips slightly, his face full of doting expression, his eyes gleaming with tenderness, and whispered into the phone, "Baby, what's wrong?"

Qu Qingdai on the other end of the phone asked in a soft voice, "When will you be done?" As she spoke, she thought to herself that it would be better to wait until he was done before going up to find him, so as not to affect his normal work.

When Su Jingmo heard Qu Qingdai's words, he frowned slightly, a look of concern appeared on his face, and asked softly: "Now that you are done with your work, where are you? Why don't you call me with your own cell phone?" As he spoke, he paced back and forth in the conference room unconsciously, looking a little anxious and worried.

Su Jingmo frowned slightly, trying to recall. If he remembered correctly, the strange number displayed on the phone screen was not from home. This could only mean that she was not at home at the moment. According to common sense, she should be enjoying dinner at this time, so why was she out?

The thought of this made him feel anxious. He had clearly instructed the housekeeper repeatedly to ensure that Qu Qingdai ate on time, yet now she was outside without even her phone. Had those people ignored his words? Su Jingmo grew increasingly angry, his fists clenching unconsciously.

But even so, his words were full of tenderness and affection, and he really couldn't bear to say a harsh word to her. He paced back and forth in the conference room, his face full of anxiety and concern, and his mind kept thinking about various possible situations.

"I'm downstairs at your company." Qu Qingdai's voice came from the other end of the phone, her tone tinged with laughter. She had originally wanted to give him a surprise, and now it seemed that this surprise was big enough! And there were even more surprises waiting for him later.

However, after three seconds, there was still no response from Su Jingmo. Qu Qingdai, still smiling, added, "It's the company front desk." Then, a series of rapid "dong dong dong" sounds came from the other end of the line. It was the sound of Su Jingmo's fast pace, as if one could imagine his anxious and excited mood at the moment.

Zhang Na walked out of the bathroom with great joy. Her carefully painted face looked particularly delicate with makeup, which added a touch of charm to her.

When she stepped into the spacious conference room again, she found it empty. Her brow furrowed in confusion. She'd only been in the restroom for a few minutes; how could the president and the others be gone? When she'd left, the meeting was only halfway through; it shouldn't have ended so quickly.

The joy on Zhang Na's face disappeared in an instant. She turned around helplessly and slowly walked out of the meeting room.

"Hello, Secretary Zhang!" A sharp-eyed clerk spotted Zhang Na's back and hurried after her, greeting her respectfully. Everyone in the company knew that Secretary Zhang was the person closest to the CEO, holding a crucial position. Therefore, cultivating a good relationship with her was essential.

"Well, do you know where the president went?" Zhang Na turned around and saw the ID card hanging on the other person's chest, and said with a faint expression.

"Isn't the president in a meeting right now?" the clerk asked with a puzzled look on his face. This was something that everyone in the company knew. Logically, Secretary Zhang should know about it. Was she testing herself?

"..." Zhang Na's brows furrowed as she heard the clerk's words, a look of irritation on her face. She hurried her pace, furious, and headed for the secretary's office. She cursed inwardly, "I've never met such a stupid employee. If the president was in a meeting, would she even need to ask him?" He was simply talking to an uninformed person, a complete waste of her time.

Qu Qingdai stood at the front desk, a bright smile on her face, and hung up the phone with a smile on her face. She was confident that her Ah Mo would be here in less than five minutes.

At that moment, the front desk employee, busy assisting Qu Qingdai, occasionally glanced up and caught sight of her sweet smile. A flicker of doubt crossed her eyes, and she wondered, "Didn't Miss Qu say she was here to see the CEO? And now the CEO hasn't shown up, and she's smiling like this? Could it be that not being able to see the CEO has been a huge blow to her?" She pondered anxiously, her heart filled with doubt.

No! It definitely wouldn't take five minutes, because at that moment, she heard those familiar footsteps, rapidly approaching in her direction. Furthermore, from the sound of those footsteps, she could clearly tell that their owner was extremely anxious.

Qu Qingdai maintained a smile, her gaze fixed on the tall figure swiftly approaching her. Her heartbeat began to become irregular, as if it was about to leap out of her chest. The man before her was like an emperor, respectfully surrounded by a group of seemingly exceptional individuals, radiating unparalleled charm and majesty.

She slowly raised her head and cast her gaze towards the large clock on the wall. She was surprised to find that only three minutes and eight seconds had passed since she hung up the phone. It was unbelievable that he was so fast, far beyond her expectations. A wave of emotion welled up in her heart. He was the man who cared about her the most in the world.

Qu Qingdai's eyes calmly scanned the excited women around her, and at the same time, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully to their admiring conversation. Listening to these words, she thought to herself that it seemed that her Ah Mo was really popular. These women's love for him was simply beyond words.

"Wow, the president is so charming, even the way he walks is so handsome!"

"Every time I see the president, my heart beats faster. He is the perfect man in my mind!"

“I’m so lucky to work under such a president!”

"I think the president has a special aura that is irresistible!"
