CHAPTER 73
anwhile, it was already the second day and Li Xiu had still not gotten a wind of Li Jing. She was becoming desperate as well as impatient.
What was she going to tell this man? How would her father and the Vice CEO give her handling of the company if she could lose such a prominent business deal?
Up until now, Duan Tian had not contacted her or called her about the situation on ground and she was itching to know any news right now.
She picked her phone from her bed and dialed his number.
Ring! Ring!
The phone rang two more tis before Duan Tian answered it.
"Hello darling."
"Hey. Any news about her?’ Li Xiu asked going straight to the point.
She did not have any ti to waste in exchanging pleasantries when both of them could very well guess how they were.
She was angry and frustrated and he was fine, what more did she need?
Irrespective of the situation, Duan Tian did not see it as that and went ahead to try and coax her.
"Hey babe."
"Please answer ." The tone she used to speak to him told Duan Tian she was serious and not ready for any jokes.
"Sorry about that. Till now my sources have yet to find her. It is as though she just decided to disappear and what is more is that there is no particular place one can search from. There is no lead whatsoever. Each place searched is a dead end."
’Why does it feel as though Duan Tian is playing with ? How can he tell that Li Jing is nowhere to be found until now?’
Li Jing began to doubt her boyfriend’s sincerity in helping her out. At least by now, they should have spotted her sowhere.
"Okay."
Beep!
Before Duan Tian could say anything further, Li Xiu cut the call and throw her phone on the bed.
Duan Tian was left speechless by her sudden reaction and quickly tried to call her back after he regained himself but her phone wasn’t reachable anymore.
"Li Xiu, what is going on with you? You are becoming more and more obsessed with finding Li Jing and you are falling apart," Duan Tian said to himself.
He could not believe that everything that had been going on in his life was suddenly changing and just because of one person.
’Li Jing, since when did you beco a thorn in my flesh?’
Li Xiu left her room to freshen up, she was tired of waiting for her incompetent boyfriend and knew it was ti to take matters into her own hands.
When she was done with bathing and dressing up, she picked her phone from the bed, took a small black purse and walked out of her room.
She was wearing a short, slim, dark blue handless gown that accentuated all her curves and a dark blue heels to go with it.
She was very beautiful and attractive. No doubt the man or whover she was going to et would surely and truly not fail to admire her.
’Ga on, Li Jing. Ga on!’

~Kang’s Enterprise~
In a fairly big office, Mr. Kang has been sitting at the executive office chair near the window, behind the office desk with two other n sitting at the opposite side, directly facing him.
"Today is the deadline, right?"
"Yes sir," Mr. Choi Ping answered him.
"Good. Any news from them?" Mr. Kang asked the two n again.
"I am afraid no, sir."
"Alright, give Li Xiu a call and remind her. If she does not set up the eting with Li Jing then she can kiss her business deal goodbye."
"Yes sir, I would right away."
"In fact wait. Do not worry, I would call her myself so that she understand how serious I am."
"But sir, what if they can’t deliver?" the second man asked.
"What do you an, Fa Zhao?"
"I an, what if they get this Li Jing and bring her for the eting and she does not present well?"
"Oh, I see where your concern is at. No worries. That would not be the case."
"If I may ask, why sir?" Mr. Choi suddenly chipped in.
A small knowing smile crept up Mr. Kang’s face and he let out a soft sigh as his eyelids dropped close before looking at his subordinates and explaining everything to them.
"I saw potential in her work and you may not want to believe , but when I see soone with potential, I know them. My instincts are strong on this and I know better than anyone else on following my instincts and never getting it wrong."
Both n seed convinced after hearing him talk like that. "But you cannot say the sa for her sister, Li Xiu, right?"
The joy he was having from just thinking about how much potential Li Jing had suddenly died down when Li Xiu’s na was ntioned.
He shook his head and joined his hands together in front of his face, thereby forming an arch shape as his unwavering gaze remained glued to them.
"It is a pity. She is equally intelligent but as compared to her sister, she is far back. Also, I seed to have noticed sothing from the little ti I got to examine her."
Mr. Kang continued explaining his brief analogy to the n about Li Xiu.
"She has grown accustod to having soone do the work for her and ended up becoming lazily because of it. But if Li Xiu can sit up and use her brain fully well, then all things would fall into place."
Both n nodded their head at him. He was truly a wise man and was befitting of the na, ’The Wise Business Lord.’
"Perhaps losing this business deal would help her sit up and do thing accurately. You see the problem with that presentation was not the wrong file but it was her lack of preparation. She needs you take things seriously, lest she what to beco the ruin of her father’s company."
