Nathan had to leave to the office early because he'd be eting with Mr. Park at eight in the morning.
If Mr. Park was there then, Aie would also be there.
Eunji had to wake up early than her wake up ti so she could send him off.
"I'll send a ssage when the eting's done, okay?" Nathan told her after she gave him his morning kiss.
"Okay. Take your ti. You have been absent from the company for such a long ti. Your employees probably had missed you." Eunji told him.
"Go back to sleep. It's still early anyways." Nathan told him.
"Okay. I love you." Eunji sweetly said while giving him another peck on the lips.
"I love you, too." Nathan said and bid her goodbye.
Nathan then entered on the Bentley with Marco sitting on the passenger seat.
Nathan then rolled down the window and bid her goodbye until they exited the main gate.
It took them forty-five minutes to reach the Bai Corp. building.
When he arrived, the employees were all lining up with their heads down to welco the big boss.
"Good morning Master Bai!" They greeted and Nathan gave a small nod as he dismissed them back to their stations.
Then Tang Hao stepped forward to fill in Nathan with the details.
Over the past months, Tang Hao was sent to South Korea to manage the project they had collaborated with Mr. Park which was related to Imperial University.
And now that Mr. Park had co to Beijing to et with him, then, he would also co back with him.
"He's inside your office together with Missus Aie Park."
Nathan nodded and walked past him. He then boarded his private elevator and waited for Marco and Tang Hao to get in. Marco then pressed the topmost floor button and the door closed with a female computer voice.
When the door chid in, Nathan went out first leaving his subordinates behind.
When he arrived at his floor, his secretaries and other assistants were lining up on the hallway to pay him respect as he arrived.
"Good morning Master Bai!"
Nathan humd in response and then dismissed them with the wave of his hand.
Marco then opened the door and waited for Nathan to co in.
When Nathan ca in, four people were already in the lounge of his office.
One was an old man, around fifty to sixty years old. On his right side was Aie who was wearing a three-fourth sleeved blouse and knee-length skirt.
The top button of her blouse were left open so her cleavage could be shown. Nathan knew what exactly she was doing. Therefore Nathan adjusted the temperature and make it cooler. So the latter would wear back her jacket.
She was discussing sothing with Mr. Park when Nathan ca in.
On Mr. Park's left side was his personal assistant and the other one must be his secretary.
The man imdiately stood up when Nathan walked in.
"Mr. Park!"
"Master Bai!"
The two then exchanged pleasantries and hand shake.
"Have a seat Mr. Park." Nathan said.
"Thank you Master Bai." The old man politely said.
"Nah, since we're already collaborating with a project, you can call Mr. Bai. Master Bai is so formal Mr. Park." Nathan said in English.
"Then if that's the case, okay. I'll be more than happy to call you Mr. Bai."
"Good." Nathan smiled at him.
"So how's the project going Mr. Park?" Nathan asked the old man while sipping the tea that Marco had served for him.
"Well, next sester, we'll be sending our students here and would welco your students in our university." Mr. Park said.
"That's good! I hope with this cooperation that we have, we could build a better relationship between the students. And so, collaborations such as this would be more than possible in the future." Nathan said.
"Of course. We believe that education and knowledge should be boundless and universal. The sa as sharing your culture to others." Mr. Park agreed with Nathan.
"Indeed!"
After taking another sip of his tea, Nathan then looked at the old man who was in deep thought.
"This is not the purpose of why you're here, am I correct?" Nathan asked him.
"You're right Mr. Bai." Mr. Park confird.
"What is it?" Nathan asked.
"My brother would soon be retiring from being the CEO and his son was still in a coma. So he's looking for a successor. However, no one was capable to manage it than his son. Aie volunteered but her credentials were not enough to be approved by the board. She still needed the experience in an executive level. My brother and I's hoping if you could help us with that." Mr. Park said.
Nathan knew where this conversation was going therefore he imdiately gave his response.
"I'm sorry Mr. Park but I don't think I could help you with it."
Nathan's reason for rejecting it was simple. He knew that Aie was only trouble for him. She was only using Mr. Park for her personal agenda.
And as a married man, he's responsible for avoiding such troubleso matters so his wife at ho could be at peace. He knew Eunji too well, she's a low-key jealous wife.
"Mr. Bai, you are only our last hope. Aie needed to learn everything so she could successfully beco the CEO in behalf of her husband." Mr. Park pleaded which made him to snap from his thoughts.
"Then why in my company? She could learn it by becoming an intern there. It doesn't make sense at all." Nathan asked Mr. Park to prove his theory.
Besides, their company was an entertainnt company.
Though Bai Corp had Starlight Entertainnt as its subsidiary company, Nathan gave the task to manage it to his trusted Director.
"Because we believe in your leadership Mr. Bai. And Aie could a lot from your team." Mr. Park said.
From the start, Aie carefully studied Nathan's reaction.
"It's okay Uncle. We can't force Mr. Bai if he didn't want to." She might be talking sweetly but deep inside she was cursing one person for this.
It was all because to Eunji. Last ti, she failed to go near to Nathan during the anniversary banquet because Nathan was never left alone.
She tried to flirt with Nathan but the latter only ignored her.
Over the past two months, it would be Marco who would face her when they'll be having discussions with the project.
And now, this was the only chance she could get so she could be closer to him but he rejected it right away.
"Mr. Park, my company is not a school. If she wanted to learn about managent, she may enroll to a managent course at Imperial University next sester and at the sa ti be an intern to any entertainnt company here if she wanted to bring sothing new to their managent. My team had been very busy all year round. Their hands were already full and I'm not that kind of employer who would add more on their already full plate." Nathan said.
"Okay. We understand." Mr. Park felt defeated and decided to leave the office.
"I'm sorry Mr. Park if I could not give you this favor. With that, I'll change the clause and make it fifty-one is to forty-nine in favor of your company." Nathan sincerely said.
This shift won't hurt him that much anyways. And besides, he was not that short of money.
After they left, Nathan heaved a sigh of relief. Then Marco brought a stack of docunts for him to sign since he's already in the company.
Then his phone beeped as he received Mo Jing-sheng's reminder that he'd be seeing the mafia don later at one in the afternoon.
'Noted.' Nathan then sent the ssage.
After he reviewed and signed all the docunts on his table, Nathan heard a soft knock on the door.
It was Marco informing him that sothing bad happened. The goods they smuggled from the US were discovered by the customs. And now, the governnt was investigating it.
Nathan then called Kim Jeong Ho about it and asked him if he could look at it first. See if they could do sothing to recover the losses.
This was his biggest transaction so far with Country M and it already encountered trouble.
Nathan knew one person who could do that.
He then got out of his seat and exited the office with Marco tailing him behind.
When he arrived at his private parking lot, his car was already on standby.
"Where to Master Boss?" The chauffeur asked him the mont Nathan and Marco boarded the car.
"To..."
Nathan then gave the direction and the chauffeur drove off.
It took them twenty minutes to reach the place.
He and the mafia don would be eting at a private club house owned by Kim Jeong Ho's family at one in the afternoon but because of what happened, he could no longer delay this.
As soon as the guards on the main gate recognized Nathan's car and his subordinates' coming towards the entrance, they imdiately opened the gate to welco them.
Nathan and his n then alighted from the car and Kim Jeong Ho's assistant welcod Nathan.
He then guided him towards the private room where the latter was drinking while he was surrounded by girls.
"Master Bai!" The latter greeted him with a sly smile.
"Did you like my welco gift my friend? That's for not inviting at your wedding." The man said.
"Oh I am surprised indeed Mr. Frederick Heart. I'm just wondering if this news had not reached Sir Zafred's side? If he knew that you're ssing with my region. You know the consequences." Nathan calmly said.
"Chill. I know. I am not that dumb to not know about that Master Bai." Frederick Heart said.
He was the sa blonde guy who would want to ss with Nathan in front of the big boss last ti.
"What exactly do you want?" Nathan didn't beat around the bush.
"Chill. Can we talk? I have a proposal that I am sure you could not refuse." Mr. Heart said.
