Chapter 1122: Chapter 1123: Still Need to Pick Up Someone from the Hotel

He hung up the phone and called Gu Ming.

At that time, Gu Ming had just woken up, seemingly driving to the office. There was the sound of car horns in the background, “Hello, Mr. Li, I was about to pick you up, are you at the old house or Dihor Garden?”

Li Shengxiao commanded icily, “Arrange a trip to Rui City for me.”

“Uh.” Gu Ming paused, probably not catching on, “Mr. Li, what are you going to Rui City for? There don’t seem to be any projects scheduled there recently.”

“Private matters.”

All the questions in Gu Ming’s mind were immediately quashed.

Private matters meant it was unrelated to work.

Despite his curiosity, he didn’t dare to pry into the boss’s private arrangements and promptly said, “Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately. When do you plan to leave? You have a meeting and a ribbon-cutting ceremony to attend this morning.”

His implication was that the morning’s schedule was already set and that it would be inappropriate to cancel on short notice.

However, Li Shengxiao, without even blinking, decisively said, “Now!”

Gu Ming almost swallowed his tongue, “You mean after I pick you up, we’ll head straight to Rui City? Isn’t that too rushed, and the hotel arrangements haven’t been made yet?”

“Arrange them on the way.” He disliked dallying. Glancing at his watch and calculating the time, he said, “In half an hour, I’ll be waiting for you downstairs, hurry over.”

Gu Ming didn’t dare take his words lightly. He focused and stepped on the gas, increasing his speed, “Yes, Mr. Li, please wait a moment.”

He hung up the phone and immediately contacted the Li Group’s branch in Rui City, passing along the news of Li Shengxiao’s visit. As for the hotels, the person in charge of reception in Rui City would know how to handle it. After all, Mr. Li would certainly stay in one of the Li Group’s presidential suites at one of their hotels—it was just a matter of which one.

As he drove, he took brief moments amidst his preoccupation to arrange everything using his Bluetooth headset. After ensuring all was in order, he removed the Bluetooth from his ear worriedly muttering, “Mr. Li is suddenly heading to Rui City, I wonder if Miss Rong knows about it, and if she’ll go with him.”

He pondered all the way whether to give a heads-up to the people in Rui City to arrange a few bodyguards. After all, Rong Yan’s status was extraordinary, and she was easily recognized in public. It would be troublesome if a crazy fan injured her.

The car sped along and arrived punctually at Dihor Garden within half an hour. Just as the elevator’s occupants had come out—suited and booted, with a straight posture, and alone.

Gu Ming parked the car, quickly unbuckled his seat belt, got out, and opened the back door for him, “Mr. Li, watch your head.”

Once the man was on board, he glanced back and didn’t see Rong Yan or any children. Looking puzzled but still perceptively, he carefully closed the door for the person he had helped into the car, walked around to the front, got into the car, and cautiously asked, “Mr. Li, are we heading straight to Rui City?”

Rui City was just a two-hour drive from Capital City, and driving there wouldn’t take much time.

Li Shengxiao hadn’t brought anything with him except his phone. Upon hearing the question, he lifted his head, arms resting on the car window, pinched the bridge of his nose, and arranged, “No, let’s first pick someone up from the hotel.”

Gu Ming really wanted to ask whom he was picking up, wasn’t Miss Rong upstairs?

But he held back his words.

Whom the CEO was picking up was not his place to interfere; he just needed to follow orders.

“Yes,” said Gu Ming as he turned the car around.

The black Phaeton drove away—
