Chapter 301 – Does This World Have Anyone Apart From You To Consider?
Did Li Xue really think that she would be able to win over him? She could win the whole world with a single sentence but with this man, she was destined to become speechless. This man was too good with his words to let anyone else win.
"Mr Beelzebub, if you really continue using such sweet words with me then I would really doubt that you are having an affair behind my back. And believe me, any woman will turn minacious if she finds her man bluffing around with some other woman", Li Xue said in a kind of threatening voice.
But it only brought a loud rumble of laughter from the other side that made the woman go all confused. "Affair with other women behind your back? Does this world have anyone apart from you to consider?"
It took some moment for Li Xue to understand what those words meant but when understood, she could not control her face from heating up.
"Li Xue, are you fine? Your face is all red" Mia commented with some worry, being all unknown to a real scenario. She had just gone out to complete some work, so did not know who was the one on the other side of the call.
Embarrassed! Li Xue was all embarrassed. This man really knows how to call forth the worst of her out with just a simple sentence.
Smiling an awkward smile for Mia, she said, "Its nothing dear! I suddenly feel the air of our work station has become a little too hot. I feel like I can't take this temperature. Nothing worrisome! Please relax and proceed to work. I will be back in a moment."
Mia nodded with some understanding and then went inside saying, "Okay, I will go inside and check the temperature once. For your preference, I will open windows for a little while".
"Thanks, Mia!" Li Xue gratefully reciprocated back to her care. She was still feeling embarrassed.
Once the young girl disappeared inside, Li Xue went back to deal with Mr Beelzebub on the call. "President Feng, you better not disturb your hardworking employees during their work or I am sure that there will be many loss bills on your desks to attend too. I am warning you already". She said, pulling her lips in a little straight line.
Though she loves to hear him say such things, she won't let him know this. Wouldn't it make him tease her more like that?
The man could only smile and nod to her command, "As my dear lady says!" he said and then bade a soft farewell. Li Xue too informed him about the changes in her plans, about her not being able to visit Yi Lan today.
Though Feng Shufen would have loved to ask her the reasons behind her stress, he restrained himself knowing that there were some things his girl would always prefer to do herself. And later he would always be there to celebrate her success.
Soon after the call, Li Xue's phone dinged again. This time it was from Chen Yujian. He has sent her the snaps from the file she has asked for. Seeing the message, she mumbled out, "I hope I can do it and don't let Mr Beelzebub words down"
Hearing her words, Mia too came to stand beside her, looking down on her phone, "Li Xue, this looks so tough. Will we be able to manage it? What if …"
"That's okay Mia! I will prepare a list here. You just make sure that everything is present here when I return back. Let's not be negative at this time" Li Xue said, cutting her words off in the middle.
"You going somewhere?" the young girl asked, not understanding how Li Xue could remain so calm and composed in such a chaotic situation.
Nodding her head, Li Xue simply said, "Yes, I will go and check with that customer's preferences. Let me see if I can get any hint from her" She said as she quickly jotted down some basic ingredients she thought to be needed in this special dessert dish.
On the other side, Ning Meiling has also received a call back from the librarian. She has never known the man personally but has made a name that has become well known around to pull strings whenever she wanted.
"What do you mean that he has taken the snaps of the file and has already sent it here. Didn't I already tell you to discard that file then how did he get his hands on it. You are not good for anything", She yelled slowly. Her expressions are all ugly and still.
"Ma'am, I did as you have asked me to do. I have already hidden the recipe papers but I didn't think that it would be safe to steal away or discard the whole file as that has put me into trouble. I never knew that they would even find those details without a recipe to be useful. I am really sorry", the librarian said from the other side of the call.
Ning Meiling could only huff out an irritated breath. "You better keep your mouth shut from now on. If I had known that you would be this useless then, I would have never entrusted you with such important responsibility. You are just another useless one on which I wasted my time and effort". She said in deep aggravation and disconnected the call.
Ning Meiling has never thought that even after making so many efforts, she will still be nowhere near success. Li Xue's failure was her ultimate success.
"Why? Why? Why is her luck again at the extreme? No, she has yet not reached success and I am sure there is nothing she could do with just inspiration and picture. She will definitely be losing at the end" she said to herself, without knowing that she was no longer alone in that area and there was someone who had heard all her conversation from before.
But soon she realized the presence when turned around to walk away. Her eyes got widened as she asked with slight terror, "You? What are you doing here?"
