Xu y left the house in a hurry earlier in the morning. She was busy for most of the day with investors from Paris. She spent 3 hours of heated discussion with her own board of directors after the investors left.
She was a capable President and she already proved that to everyone in the company. No one had the courage or basis to question her authority. Once she made her stance clear, there was no room for discussion left anymore.
The deal with the CoCo Jewels was not only vital but also imperative. Fu Corporations had a subsidiary known as Jade Stones which was under Fu Lan’s command but she gave it to her daughter Xu Liqing. On the surface, Xu Liqing was behind the success but in reality, there was an entire team of professionals dealing with the company’s crisis.
Destroying Fu Lan would have been easy if only she didn’t have the support of her paternal grandfather and his company. ’A journey of a thousand miles begins at one’s feet.’ That’s exactly what Xu y learned in her life.
Before invading the Xu Corporation, she needed to cut off Fu Lan’s support. The idea of destruction involved ruining Fu Corporations and taking over Xu Enterprises. It wasn’t easy but Xu y never liked the easy things in life.
The President’s office in Vintage Gems was a sight to behold. It was not an office, it was a work of art. The combination of sky blue non-transparent glass with novelty pendant style led lights hanging from the ceiling gave it a modern and contemporary look.
The beautiful paintings hung on one side of the office giving it an intense artistic feel. Xu y was sitting on her revolving chair, spinning it like a four-year-old. The ringtone of her phone made her halt her spinning exploit.
Upon seeing the caller ID ’Private Number’, a faint smile appeared on her cherry blossom-like lips. "Konichiwa, Sensei![1]" She said in a bright and cheery tone.
"Why are you upset?" Ca an alluring but calm voice from the other side.
"Sensei, I’m not upset... I’m talking in such a cheery tone." She argued.
"y Ai[2], you’re the person who loves to talk in a cheery way when you’re trying to hide your broodiness." The voice was still calm and composed with a hint of doting.
"Sensei... Do you think soone can make a place in a heart which doesn’t have a place to spare?" Xu y asked in a serious way.
"Hmm... It depends on the person who is trying to take the place."
"Doesn’t it depend on the person whose heart already belongs to soone else? If he’s not even willing to give a single spot in his heart to another person, how can he give his entire heart to soone else?"
"If I knew how to laugh, I would have definitely laughed at this mont, y-y." There was amusent in this voice. "There is nothing one can’t take unless he doesn’t want to. If you’re willing to take soone’s heart, that person won’t defy you."
"Sensei, so people are buried deep in a heart. It’s not that easy."
"My dear student, when it cos to love, it’s never too late or too early. A heart is very capricious. One’s sincere endeavors can shake the heaven much less a fickle heart. Unless soone is keeping his love imrsed in his soul. Because we can perturb a heart, the soul is not be ssed with." The calmness of the voice could make a person instantly fall in love with the owner of it.
"But sensei, why is it not possible to ss with a soul?" She asked in a low voice.
There was silence for a while on the other side. Then she heard a faint sigh. "My dear student, Soul is scary. We lose the purpose of our existence with it. An empty shell is not worth much."
Xu y nodded in understanding, feeling at ease. The person she called ’Sensei’ had the ability to provide her with reassurance. Sensei’s words which she referred to as ’words of wisdom’ always helped her in life. She didn’t rember when it happened but this person was soone she could depend on. Because this person was the only one in her life who never asked for anything in return.
She still rembered the words said to her, "Life is on a lease. It’s a loan, one has to pay it back at a specified ti."
Coming back to the present, she heard the sa calming voice again, "Soone’s been probing in your life a lot recently."
Xu y quirked her brows thinking about Ye Jie. Didn’t she tell him not to do anything? Now, he is not even respecting her wishes.
"Before you conclude it to be your husband and go out to kill him. Hear out." Xu y listened attentively. "It was your husband’s people at first but they stopped about half a month ago. The people looking into your activities now are different."
"Who are they?"
"It’s your step-mother’s loyal dogs." A killing intent flashed through her dark orbs. "I almost forgot to ask, do you know that your husband has connections with Wayne?"
"Wayne Chu?" She asked.
"Yup... That’s the one." The familiar voice replied.
"I didn’t know about it." Xu y fell into thought. A noble son of a noble household has links with underworld? Does that even make sense?
"Try to avoid Wayne, he might recognize you." It was a piece of cautionary advice.
"I know, Sensei... I’ll be cautious."
"y-y, if you need to help you just give a call. After all, ’An old broom has its value.’"
Xu y burst into laughter at that saying. "Sensei, Senior brother already told that you’re younger than . When did you beco an old broom?"
She heard awkward dry-coughing from the other end making her laugh even more. "Your Senior Brother really needs to seal his lips... But anyways, you know very well, I can take the revenge you so desire with a flick of my finger."
"Sensei, I told you before, I won’t feel at ease unless I’m the one to take what’s mine. You’re the one who taught ’The person who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.’" Her voice was resolute.
"Take care of yourself, y-y."
"I will."
"y Ai!"
"Yes."
"Love is not treacherous, trust is..." The call disconnected after these words leaving Xu y in deep contemplation.
