Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Only the Human Heart is Complicated

"Mr. Su, I’m so sorry to have kept you waiting!" Emma said, standing nervously before Su Chen.

After her meeting, Emma had returned to her office, where her secretary reported that a Mr. Su Chen was looking for her and had already been waiting in the reception area for over half an hour.

When she heard the news, she felt like the sky was about to fall.

After some careful questioning, she learned the whole story and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, her secretary and the front desk staff hadn’t driven Su Chen away. Otherwise, she would have been in deep trouble.

"It’s fine. Is the meeting over?" Su Chen asked with a smile, waving his hand dismissively.

"The meeting just ended, and my secretary immediately reported your arrival!" Emma didn’t elaborate; sometimes, the more you say, the more likely you are to make a mistake.

"Mm, I just came by today to have a look around, broaden my horizons!"

"It’s our honor to have you here, Mr. Su. Shall I give you a tour?" Emma offered eagerly.

"I’ll have to trouble you, then!"

Su Chen then followed Emma into the Louis Vuitton Group’s Greater China headquarters.

From Emma’s introduction, Su Chen learned that the headquarters occupied three entire floors. The 66th floor, where he was now, was for employee offices; the 67th was home to the product exhibition department and the SVIP reception center; and the 68th floor was reserved for senior management.

Su Chen took a quick tour of the 66th floor and noticed that most of the employees were women—and every single one of them was a great beauty. They were all dressed so fashionably that he couldn’t help but look twice.

Emma, who was beside him, took note of this.

"Mr. Su, this is our product exhibition area. It displays some of the finest pieces released by Louis Vuitton Group’s subsidiary companies in the last five years, as well as upcoming new products. We even have collector’s editions that are sold out in the market."

Su Chen felt a bit dazzled by the sight.

All sorts of handbags, leather shoes, watches, and cosmetics were arranged in the display cases as if they were free for the taking.

"If there’s anything you like, Mr. Su, you can pick it out directly!"

Su Chen was a little tempted by her words, especially when he saw several handsome watches in the watch section.

In the end, however, Su Chen suppressed the urge and shook his head slightly. "No, thank you. As a shareholder of the Louis Vuitton Group, I can’t be seen lining my own pockets!"

Emma’s expression changed slightly at his words, realizing her attempt to curry favor had backfired. "My apologies, Mr. Su. I was being presumptuous."

It wasn’t that Su Chen was particularly noble; it was mainly that he was thin-skinned and cared about appearances. Otherwise, he would have nodded and accepted right away. After all, who wouldn’t want to take something that’s offered for free?

Just as Su Chen was silently kicking himself, a familiar voice rang out.

"Huh? Su Chen, what are you doing here!" Qin Ying had appeared opposite him at some point.

Just then, Qin Ying also noticed Emma and Secretary Li standing next to Su Chen and hurriedly greeted them respectfully, "Good afternoon, President!"

Emma ignored Qin Ying, instead turning to Su Chen to ask, "Mr. Su, you know her?"

Su Chen nodded. "This is my old classmate, Qin Ying. I happened to run into her in the reception area when I came to see you earlier."

Hearing this, a strange glint flashed in Emma’s eyes. She looked at Qin Ying and asked, "Which department are you from, and what are you doing here? As I recall, regular employees aren’t allowed on the 67th floor!"

"President, I’m from the Planning Department. My supervisor asked me to take some photos of the upcoming new products for promotional use!" Qin Ying explained, slightly nervous.

"Are you done taking the photos?"

"Yes, I’m finished!"
