Chapter 127 - Lead Her To Her Own Grave.
Chapter 127 – Lead Her To Her Own Grave.
Seeing Li Xue folding her arms over her chest, making her aura completely change with superiority for him, made Chen Yujian rethink about the challenge once again. Just a look at her made him realize that he has miscalculated the things.
But his childish ego did not let him take his own thoughts seriously. Scoffing internally, he consoled himself with determination, 'I can't be a man if I go back on my own words. Of course, her sudden change in temperament cannot scare me away. As long as I have my charms, I will be saved'.
"As you say, I will follow", he said, not realizing the politeness that was slowly and slowly seeping in his attitude.
Li Xue did not care to give any appreciation to his understanding instead she continued to make him note her other pointers. "Next is 'discipline'. You can't achieve anything being a chef if you cannot stand on the standards of discipline. We as chefs, need to be as proper and disciplined as much as possible. So make sure when you join me on my workstation, you have paid attention to all the disciplinary rules, we should be under. Begin with your clothes, for now, that's definitely not matching to this workplace"
She said moving her finger to gesture his attire from top to bottom. This was the worst insult Chen Yujian would have ever faced but still at this point he was not feeling even an ounce of offence. His eyes are completely focused on the woman as if she was giving him some informational lecture that will bring heaven to his life.
Executive Chief, Huo Rong looked at the episode getting unfolded in front of him and was quite impressed by the way the young woman was handling the things. He moved to take back his seat while letting the other two continue with the discussion. Li Xue, herself has lost the irritation she has felt before. Right at this moment, everything which she was saying was the points she has learned from her short experience in the field along with her other past experiences.
"The third important rule is your 'obedience'. At work station and during work time I won't be taking any type of disobedience neither against me nor to any superior. If you want to prove your superiority, then prove it with your work and rule the scene. Don't bring up the fame and money of your rich family to the workplace. Before bringing that up, just question yourself once. What did you do to deserve that privilege apart from getting born to your parents?" She said, not giving any attention to the way her words were coming out. Her focus was solely on delivering the message she intended.
Her words shook the old chief too. Though her words weren't wrong the person it was intended to was making it a little fearful. The man that was standing in front of her was not easy to tackle with. The surname 'Chen' he holds was enough to make people compelled to be polite and submissive to him. Yet here this woman was trying her best to use every opportunity to look down on him.
First, it was not accepting him under her while presenting good reasons, then criticizing his punctuality, followed by his way of dressing and now she has flown to question his identity as Chen. At this rate, won't everything lead to her own grave?
Thinking it that way suddenly he panicked for her well-being. Not only as his superior but also because of the special request he has received early in the morning. He still felt surreal that he had received a direct call from Feng International's office. And the person calling him was none other than but the Director Chief, Qi Shuai, himself.
'No, no I can't let Director Qi's request fail. I need to look after Ms Li Xue. She must be someone he favours as his family', Huo Rong mumbled in his head and was about to put forward some words for her. But when he caught the look on the young man's face, he felt like it was him who was over-exaggerating things here.
Chen Yujian was holding an expression of divine calmness, one which was definitely not his nature. Just by a look, one can say that offence was the last thing running in his mind now.
"Then comes your 'hard work'. You have already promised me with that and I will make sure that you comply with that promise. It's not that I cared for your hard work rather it's more like I can't see my efforts going waste. So to make sure that I can be harsher than what you can imagine. And for the last important one, 'Mind your P's and Q's' from the very first second you will get to the main working station"
She concluded and waited to hear if he had anything to say but to her surprise, nothing came. His obedient silence was just too surprising both for her and also for the man who has already gone to take his seatback.
"What? Didn't you have anything to say?" she asked, getting slightly confused with his silence. Chen Yujian smiled, shaking his head in denial. "I don't think. Those five rules are really easy ones if the winning reward of this challenge is you", he said and it instantly made Li Xue raise her brows. But soon the man re-added his words, "I mean your supervision and guidance"
His lips tugged up to give a smirk as his inner thoughts muttered inside, 'With just five rules, you will be turning my whole life upside down. At least I can expect you as a reward for that or else why would I care. You are more interesting than I have thought. My Xena!'
"Did you say anything?" she asked suddenly to which he simply shrugged his shoulder back. "I am just excited about my work. You know"
"Let's see how long you can live that excitement of yours!"

At the same time, Feng Internationals;
The air was terrifically calm inside the skyscraper. Everyone in the place can feel it. Before it was only the President's office that had this kind of chilly air around but today seems to be a little special as the employees can feel the building becoming the navel point of the north pole.
The heaters were turned to their highest still it seemed to be making no change to the chilliness they were feeling inside.
A major group of executive staff has been notified to gather in the conference room to report the highlights of the company's financial data. Though such a meeting was usually scheduled at the end of the financial year; on immediate orders of the mighty President Feng it has arrived more than 15 days before.
