TVCEO Chapter 62.1

Lin Qiao was no longer an intern at Baitian, so she was now a visitor and needed to make an appointment to enter the Baitian building.

She rushed to the front desk to register, but the receptionist recognized her immediately.

“Lin Qiao?”

The receptionist immediately called out her name, then realized she had spoken too quickly, composed herself, and smiled, “I remember you. You interned here before, right?”

She knew very well that many people in Baitian probably didn’t remember her, but rather her messy gossip about Su Zhengxing.

Lin Qiao gave an awkward chuckle and nodded.

“Hello, I’m looking for CEO Su.”

The receptionist seemed surprised, looking like she thought, “Why do you need an appointment to see CEO Su with your status?”

However, she quickly masked her surprise. Although puzzled, she still gave a standard professional smile and said, “Mr. Su is not in the company right now. Can I register you first and then contact you when he returns?”

Is he not at the company?

Is he away on a business trip or in a meeting again?

No wonder he didn’t reply to her message.

That pink diamond was too valuable for Lin Qiao to entrust to the receptionist, so she said that she’d go to the coffee shop next door to buy something and then come back to wait.

The small breads and cakes at the coffee shop downstairs at Baitian were delicious, so Lin Qiao bought some for dinner. When she returned to the lobby on the first floor of Baitian with the bag, Su Zhengxing and Qi Yuan happened to be coming back from outside.

From afar, he seemed to have reverted to the cold and aloof demeanor he had when they first met. His black suit was impeccably tailored, and his deep, dark eyes exuded a chilling aura, keeping everyone at arm’s length.

Lin Qiao felt as if she had been transported to another world.

Just as she was about to greet him, she saw Su Zhengxing’s gaze inadvertently sweep over her, then he walked past without hesitation, his steps unwavering, without even a moment’s pause.

He was pretending not to know her?

He was actually pretending not to know her??

In that instant, Lin Qiao’s heart felt as if it had been struck heavily by something, and all her self-esteem shattered on the ground. She had never felt such unbearable shame, not even when she shook hands and parted that day. For the first time, she truly felt her defenses crumble.

Lin Qiao had always been clear about her identity and had never considered clinging to him. Even during these difficult times, she had never bothered him.

The reason she kept his WeChat and contact information was because she thought that although there was no love between them anymore, they had spent a long time together and their cooperation had been pleasant. There was no need to be so ruthless with an old acquaintance; otherwise, it would be like burying one’s head in the sand.

But today, she suddenly felt ridiculous.

Without those forced ties, he was the high and mighty CEO of a company, while she was merely a tool he had used to achieve his goals, discarded afterward, like many small companies that Baitian had eliminated.

Forget it, she should have woken up long ago.

Lin Qiao left the Baitian Building without looking back.

When Su Zhengxing saw Lin Qiao again at Baitian, he was surprised and excited. But when he caught a glimpse of the cake bag in her hand, he instantly understood. She had always liked the small cakes downstairs when she interned at Baitian. She probably wasn’t here for him today and might not even want to see him.

To avoid embarrassing Lin Qiao, he quickly averted his gaze and walked straight toward the elevator.

Qi Yuan, who was beside him, naturally witnessed everything. She didn’t know what had happened between Su Zhengxing and Lin Qiao, or why Su Zhengxing seemed like a completely different person lately, his behavior reverting to its previous state. Several times when she called him to report on work, she discovered that he seemed to have been drinking.
