Chapter 40: Hiding from a terrorist together !
Xi Yuan was a very calm and collected man. It was very rare for him to vent his anger in an extreme manner.
But today , he was not himself. Instead , he had a dangerous aura surrounding him which sent chills running down a person's spine .
" Why the hell was i not informed about the investments in this branch three years ago ? And who allowed you guys to include politicians in business. Xi Corps has become nothing but another path for them to earn money ! Who dared to mess up things between politics and business ?! " ; Xi Yuan asked in a loud and bone-chilling voice .
The shareholders' backs involuntarily stiffened when they heard the man's voice.
Even Xi Fang and Xi Ying shuddered when they heard their brother's tone .
Bro , you really don't need to be so scary !
Can you show some mercy to these people !
They are mere mortals , not business gods like you !
Alas !
There was no point telling him that.
He was a ruthless and despicable man , when it came to matters related to business .
He hated it the most when people evinced lack of dedication and constant losses .
No matter how softspoken and diplomatic speech he had , he still was a strict Big Boss of the Business world .
Xi Yuan was losing his patience as the shareholders kept their mouth shut.
He said word to word in an intimidating tone , " I said who the hell took the decision of mixing business with politics ? "
Just when the shareholders were stressed about what to answer the devil in front of them , his phone rang .
His phone was connected to the system of the meeting room. So , when he picked up the call, it was audible to everyone in the room .
Xi Yuan said angrily , " Hello ! Who the hell is this ?"
"Um .... Sorry Yuan. I didn't mean to disturb you. I 'll call you later " , the girl's apologetic voice came from the other end.
As soon as the Xi twins heard the voice of their sister-in-law , they felt relieved.
Yay ! We are rescued !
Sister-in-law is here !
Meanwhile , the shareholders were stunned to hear the melodious voice of a woman from big boss's phone.
She even called him by his name !
And that too so intimately !
There was no woman they knew who dared to address boss like that !
Who was she ?!
Xi Yuan quickly disconnected his mobile and said to the girl in an extremely gentle tone , " I am extremely sorry. Its just ... i was going through some paperwork with my employees....and .....i...."
Rong Xinghe quickly cut him off , " No ! It is alright , Yuan. This happens with me a lot. Bro Lu and Bro Zhi are used to me disturbing me in the middle of their meetings .HEHEHE... But i should've checked your schedule first. "
"Meeting or not , you can call me even in the middle of the night. Understood ? " , Xi Yuan said seriously .
Listening this , all the shareholders were stunned !
Who was this lady whom boss would allow to disturb him even in the middle of night ?!
Could it be .....
Rong Xinghe didn't knew why , but she felt warmth spreading in her heart when he said that.
" Okay , understood. I simply wanted to tell you that i am nearby Xi Corps' main building." , Rong Xinghe said with a hidden meaning behind her words.
"So ? " , Xi Yuan was a bit confused .
" So i thought you would invite me for a coffee if you knew i was here. Right ? " , the girl told her real motive shamelessly.
Xi Yuan giggled when he realised that she was self-inviting herself for a coffee , "Okay , send me your location , i will reach there right away " .
This smile on boss's face further shocked the employees.
They had never seen him smile !
Female shareholders couldn't help but give treat to their eyes by looking at him.
What a handsome man!
Wait !
Did he just say he would pick her up right now ?
Were they all saved ?!
Was this lady their ' knight in shining armour' ?
Xi Yuan ended the call and looked at the shocking faces.
" Meeting dismissed ! " , the man said as he walked out of the conference room .
Holy hell !
He actually let them off the hook , just to meet her ?
Did the boss had actually got a lady in his heart ?!
Were they going to have a 'lady boss' soon ?!
He was so angry just now !
Yet , she easily extinguished his anger in the blink of an eye !
He was so cold and distant just now !
Yet , he became so gentle when he spoke to her !
Just who was this lady ?!
Just who was their 'saviour' ?!
....
Meanwhile ,
Xi Yuan reached in a local cafe to find a girl sitting alone.
She was fidgetting with a pebble as she looked outside the window .
In the dark cafe , the bright sunrays touched her skin and made her look like she had just came out of a painting.
She looked so serene and beautiful that his heart almost stopped beating for a moment as he saw her.
He took out his phone and clicked her photo .He simply wanted to capture this moment .
"Hey ! What's up ? " , the man said as he went to sit with her.
"Hi ! " , the girl smiled , " Nothing much , i was just hiding , so , i thought i could use some company ! "
"Hiding ? From whom ? " , Xi Yuan asked .
" Um..... a terrorist. He wants to kill me ! But i am not in any mood to die ! He is roaming around here in search of me. I don't have my revolver right now , and i don' t want to fight empty handed either. Hah , what a lazy person i am ! So , i thought i will spend time with my love....my coffee ....But i don't have cash , just card. And this shop doesn't accept that. So , I thought about you as you were nearby. " , the girl explained .
Hmmm... That explained why she selected this isolated , old and local cafe .
And it seemed that she loved to drink coffee and tea. She always selected cafs to hang out , no matter , whether she was in a male diguise or her own self look .
" No mood to die ? ", Xi Yuan raised his eyebrows .
Wasn't that a little weird thing to say ?
" Yep !"
Xi Yuan was even more amused by her. What a fascinating girl .
He was more than happy to accompany her in hiding from terrorists !
If he could be by her side and spend time with her !
" By the way , did i told you how scary you sounded on the phone. Okay , tell me , why were you upset when i called you ?" , Rong Xinghe asked .
