Chapter 130: 130. Braving the storm, hitching a ride with the wind
However, due to the weather, they only worked an additional hour.
By the time they left the office, it was already pitch dark and there were hardly any people in the office building.
Outside, the rain was still pouring heavily. Even standing in the company’s porch, they were still splashed on the face and body by raindrops blown by the strong wind.
They dashed under a small umbrella to catch a cab.
Within a few minutes, they were thoroughly drenched. Their coats and shoes were wet, and their hair was sticky and stuck together.
The cold sensation permeating their bodies had them clinging together for warmth.
But under such weather, getting a cab was nearly impossible. Despite the rush of people passing by, a cab was nowhere in sight.
Suddenly, a black Maybach parked in front of them.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Shi Annuo’s face.
Bai Rubing widened her eyes in surprise, then smiled politely and greeted, “Good evening, General Manager.”
Behind Shi Annuo was the unchanging icy countenance of Shi Yuhuan, which Bai Rubing only noticed after her greeting.
She suddenly became nervous, and apprehensively greeted, “Good evening, Mr. President!”
Shi Yuhuan glanced at them casually, giving a faint nod. Although he seemed cold and aloof, to them, it was already quite gracious.
When Song Qinghuan saw Shi Annuo, there was a slight smile on her face.
But as soon as she saw Shi Yuhuan, her face chilled, and she turned her head to one side, pretending not to notice his presence.
Shi Annuo gave them a slight smile, got out of the car, walked under their umbrella, and looked at Qinghuan, “Why haven’t you left yet? Get in the car, let me give you a lift.”
Recalling what had happened in the afternoon and seeing Shi Yuhuan in the car, Song Qinghuan was about to decline Shi Annuo’s kindness without a second thought.
However, Bai Rubing already thanked him with a smile, speaking before Song Qinghuan could decline, “Thank you, General Manager!”
Honestly, Bai Rubing’s prompt agreement surprised Song Qinghuan.
However, she didn’t give it much thought. After all, with the current bad weather, it was indeed difficult to hail a cab. It could not be better than having a ride, and refusing it would be absurd.
Shi Annuo extended his hand, leading Song Qinghuan to sit at the back and Bai Rubing in the front, then he folded up the umbrella and sat next to Song Qinghuan.
Inside the car, Shi Yuhuan unfolded the evening paper and read it silently on one side, as if they did not exist at all.
After getting in the car, Song Qinghuan did not glance at him either, acting as if he was non-existent as well.
Once in the car, Shi Annuo casually asked Bai Rubing, “Where do you need to go? Just tell Chen Assistant the address.”
Bai Rubing turned to thank Shi Annuo with a laugh, then she gave Shi Yuhuan a quick glance before smiling at Chen Tian, “Assistant Chen, could you please drop me off at a nearby subway station?”
