Chapter 944

Su Xinghui sent Lu Xiaoya to her room next door and said to her: "Then you rest first; I'll come find you later."

Returning to his room, Su Xinghui took out the contact information Hou Guangbi gave him and called the World Bank's office in China. He called the office of the Chief Representative. The person who answered the phone was a woman using Chinese. Su Xinghui asked: "May I ask if Mr. Hackett is in?"

The other party asked: "May I ask who you are?"

Su Xinghui said: "I was introduced by Mr. Hou Guangbi, Chairman of the French Hou Group. My surname is Su, and I have business with Mr. Hackett."

The other party said: "Please wait a moment, I'll go tell Mr. Hackett."

Su Xinghui waited for a while, and the other party returned: "Mr. Su, hello. Mr. Hackett is seeing a guest now. He has time at four o'clock. He asked you to come see him at four o'clock."

Su Xinghui was overjoyed. He hadn't expected to be able to see Hackett today. Hackett was the Chief Representative of the World Bank's office in China, a big figure with great power, not someone an ordinary person could see. It seemed Hou Guangbi's face had played a role.

Still the same saying, no matter which country you are in, relationships are very important.

Su Xinghui said: "Fine, then I will definitely arrive on time at four o'clock."

Hanging up the phone, Su Xinghui raised his wrist to look at the time. It was almost three o'clock, so he stood up to prepare to depart. The Friendship Hotel was still a bit far from the World Bank's office in China, about a twenty-minute drive. Although there were rarely traffic jams in this era, departing early was never wrong.

Hackett was a Swiss, and the Swiss were famous for being punctual. If he encountered any unexpected situation on the road and was late, it would definitely give Hackett a very bad impression. Departing early, even if he encountered an unexpected situation, would leave room for remedy.

Su Xinghui told the floor attendant that he was going out to handle business now and asked her to tell Lu Xiaoya if she woke up. The floor attendant agreed, and Su Xinghui went downstairs, hailed a taxi, and drove toward the destination.

When the car arrived at the destination, it was still about forty minutes before four o'clock. The World Bank's office in China was in a high-rise office building in Jingcheng. Su Xinghui saw that it was still early, so he walked around downstairs. When it was ten minutes to four, he took the elevator to the 12th floor, where the World Bank's office in China was located.

At five minutes to four, Su Xinghui walked into the office. The receptionist asked who he was and who he was looking for. He said to the receptionist: "My surname is Su, and I have an appointment to meet Mr. Hackett at four o'clock."

The receptionist called Hackett, and after confirmation, nodded to Su Xinghui and said: "Mr. Su, hello. Please come in with me."

Su Xinghui followed the receptionist to Hackett's office. In the outer office was a woman in her thirties. This should be Hackett's secretary and should also be the person who answered the phone when Su Xinghui called from the hotel room just now.

The receptionist said to the female secretary: "Miss Susanna, this is Mr. Su."

Susanna was a foreign woman with black-rimmed glasses and an ordinary appearance. Her hair was brown, and she was wearing a very formal suit. She said to the receptionist: "Fine, you go out first."

After the receptionist went out, Susanna said to Su Xinghui: "Mr. Su, hello! I am Mr. Hackett's secretary, Susanna. I'll take you in!"
