129 How do we deal with a problem like this?
Monday, continued ...
Within 2 rings his call was answered "Hi Phillipa, it is Yi here."
"What in the world are you calling for?" ca a sharp reply.
"Well..." said Hou Yi playfully.
"Yi do not ss with , you know I hate it."The voice on the other end of the line was serious.
"Pip.Stop playing gas." Laughed Hou Yi
"You know I do not play gas, particularly the ones you like to play.I saw your press conference and it was a dangerous ga you started to play.You and I both know that Lu Jinhu will not take what you did lying down.You made him look like a abuser without saying it"Ca the response, trying to get Hou Yi to respond.
"No Pip, we are that many moves into the ga you would not believe."
"Tell what in the world you are calling for.Co on be serious for once in your life."
"Pip you know I cannot be serious ..." laughed Hou Yi, still trying to bait a response.
"Yi" was the strong response
"Well, OK Dr Phillipa Chen ..." drifted Hou YI in the conversation.
"Stop it, now focus on this.You know you keep ssing with I will tell my parents, and you know how much that will ss up your deals." Ca the angry retort.
"Fine, you cannot take a joke, and threaten with your politician mother."
With that Hou Yi paused, and then continued "OK I will be serious.I need your help, especially since you are here in town."
"Oh my god, I wish I had just recorded that, the great and powerful Hou Yi asking little old for help," ca the almost sarcastic reply.
"Pip, co on I will be serious.I need your help.You saw the press conference, you read the dia release last week.I need the help of an expert."
"You got that right."
"Anna is a ss, all because of what that b**tard Lu Jinhu has done to her.I cannot break through her walls at the mont.She is ready to walk away.I know we did not marry in the best of circumstances, but I could not take it if she walked away, particularly as hurt as she is."
"That is not the reason.I realised as soon as we spoke almost a fortnight ago, you had found the woman that you love to distraction, and married her.I thought it was a love match, but what I saw today and read the other day told , that she had different motives.You want to care and protect her.She however is broken by her experiences."
"Pip, true.You know all about that, yet have beco one of the worlds best known counselors for Dostic Violence survivors and run your foundation to help people.I need that skill from my friend now.Not for , but for her.She said just before she is ready to walk out."
"Yi, I hope you have not made a mistake, but you better tell the details when I get there in 20 minutes.Once you and I have talked, you need to get your bride there and then disappear.I need to talk to her.Hopefully then I will have the answers."
"Well hurry up and get here...".Before he could finish the call was ended, so Hou Yi telephoned Assistant Wang and advised him that Phillipa would be coming to see him, and to get her up to his office as soon as possible.
anwhile, Anna returned downstairs to the legal departnt, accompanied by two bodyguards.As soon as she arrived, she started to be swamped by mbers of the various Departnt/teams within the group, all wanting to talk to her about matters.Rather than fighting, she indicated that she would speak to the supervisors in her office in 5 minutes.
With that she walked back to her office.Amanda i, ca up and said "Miss Anna ... Sorry Madam Hou, can we talk?"
Imdiately after she said this Lawyers Deng and Bei also asked to talk to her.
"Amanda, after I speak to the other supervisors, you and I can talk."She turned ignoring the others who now wanted to know her and entered her office.The bodyguards stood outside the door.
Once she had gotten herself set back up, the supervisors all started to arrive, and were shown in.Anna really did not want to deal with them, but she knew as the CEO's wife and their so-called Lady Boss ultimately she would have to deal with them at so ti.
"Hello everyone.I think you know who I am.When I am here in this office I have a job to do, as much as you do."
"Yes Madam Hou" they all said with almost one voice.
"I am sorry to have to rush you, but I have things that I need to do, so could you please tell what is your issue."
Everyone started talking together, so Anna could not make out what any of them were saying."Stop" Anna called out. "This is going to get us nowhere.I am not here to take anyone else job.I am simply here to do work, and eventually beco a qualified lawyer here as well."
"All you need to do is treat generally the sa as everyone else.If you have specific matters, please email them to .I believe an email will be established and monitored by my husband's assistant to ensure that I only receive relevant emails.Can you please leave."by the ti Anna finished she was quite angry.
They supervisors all wanted to argue, but the bodyguards heard Anna ask them to leave so ca in and escorted them out of her office.
