She isn't Lan Xichen's right hand or anything. No - that's his brother, of course, and even aside from that, she isn't all that high up in things. But Lan Xichen trusts her enough to give her certain tasks, and today, that includes checking up on where his personal assistant has gotten off to.
Well. Really, it includes making sure his personal assistant is stuck exactly where he's supposed to be, and that he can't get free, before she starts spreading the word of where he is.
Technology being what it is these days - and the Lan Corporation having access to some of the most advanced of it - there had been a number of ways that Lan Xichen had considered to make sure Huaisang is good and trapped, and ready to be at the mercy of any employee who wants to take up their boss's very generous offer.
Most of the doors on this level close automatically - it would be very easy to create a malfunction, cause Huaisang to trip a little and then close the doors around his waist. Or to have a cabinet break when he was reaching for something and trap him like that, or to get his hand stuck in a vending machine, or have the seat of a chair give out when he tried to sit down - all right, maybe she's been watching a little too much porn.
The point is, she isn't sure which one Lan Xichen had gone with, but she knows Huaisang had been sent up here on some errand. She can hear Huaisang struggling with something up ahead, so she knows it must have worked - and she can't wait to make it worse, and leave him like that for the next person.
For Huaisang - office au time skip again!

"Huaisang, is that you?"
