Chapter 348 – Am I Always Wrong?
"No buts. I want a financial report without loopholes," She glanced at Director Xiang, "Please help the Vice President with this matter."
The Vice President frowned disapprovingly, "President, you don't trust me?"
Yu Mei massaged her forehead, "It's not about trust. Since I asked him to assist you, I want the work to be done more efficiently."
"But…"
Yu Mei raised her palm, "That's enough."
The Vice President pursed his lips as he bowed to her before he turned around and stormed out of the office.
Yu Mei glanced at his retreating back and then she turned to look at Director Xiang, "Keep an eye on him."
Director Xiang was stunned, "President..?" He never thought she was doubting the Vice President.
After all, she had always been close to him even though she rarely visited the company before and the Vice President was like her right-hand man.
He, on the other hand, was someone she got to know just a few months ago.
Yu Mei did not say anything and the old man could only leave, feeling helpless and confused in his heart.
The amount of money messed up with was in millions and even if it could be earned back with just a ring designed by her but she didn't want to let go of that matter without getting her hands on some conclusive evidence about who did it.
After half an hour, Yu Mei left the company and drove over to Eminence headquarters.
Her phone started ringing and she parked the car on the side before answering the call, "What's up?"
"Uh…How are you?" Shi Luo sounded a bit awkward.
Yu Mei chuckled, "I am fine of course. You, on the other hand, Miss 'I like obedient+dominant' don't seem to be alright. Look at your guts admitting it in front of everyone."
"Nobody knows who I was talking about," Although Shi Luo said that, Yu Mei could imagine her blushing face, "Moreover, I didn't have a type of guy I like until I saw him so I just answered honestly."
"Luoluo, you are too deep in it this time," Yu Mei said as she placed her forehead on the steering wheel.
Shi Luo paused for a few seconds before speaking, "It's just a moment where the dopamine fluctuated. Like how adrenaline works, I feel the same and it will go down in two days. Don't worry about me."
"Dr. Shi, we will see about that," She paused before adding, "Did you notice how daring Ah Shuang was? She unbuttoned Mu Shen's shirt with her teeth without hesitation."
"Yes, and she didn't even have much of a reaction. But Mu Shen was blushing. I saw it."
"I know right-"
Shi Luo interrupted her, "Mei, don't you dare change the topic," She sounded angry as she just realized what Yu Mei was doing.
Yu Mei cleared her throat.
"You know what I was talking about. What did you do to infuriate brother?"
Yu Mei frowned, "Why do you think I would do something? Do you think I am always wrong?"
"What else?" Shi Luo seemed quite confident about it as she continued, "You have always been a troublemaker. Our High school teachers used to call you 'Little devil'. Moreover, had you not done something, why would brother be that angry? There has to be some reason behind the way he reacted-"
Yu Mei cut her words off as she said, "Alright, Luoluo, I am busy. I will call you later," She hung up the call and threw her phone to the backseat as she shifted her position and placed both her hands on the steering wheel before positioning her head on it.
She blankly stared at her feet for a few minutes as her phone continued ringing in the backseat.
After taking a few deep breathes, she closed her eyes and opened them before stepping on the accelerator.
At the Eminence Headquarters.
Gasps and hushed murmurs resounded in the place when Yu Mei stepped inside the place.
She greeted the receptionist who politely greeted her. She flashed her entry card at the receptionist before walking towards the Private elevator.
The male employees looked at her back in awe. Not only was she rich, but she was also insanely gorgeous. But a pity that she was taken and that too by a man they could not seem to offend.
The female employees, on the other hand, were envious. Who was their Chief? He was a mighty existence and while working here, many of them had once dreamed of becoming much more than just a regular employee but a pity that that man never looked at them.
Yet, this woman was all his now and they were seen all over the tabloids. They could only bite their handkerchiefs to swallow the bitterness in their hearts and suppress their grievances.
Unaware of the thoughts that she had provoked in their hearts, Yu Mei stepped inside the elevator.
As the elevator came to a halt on the highest floor of the grand building, she stepped out before walking towards the President's office.
"Baby, see I bought you some loll-" She paused, noticing another presence in the office.
It was Gu Min, Steward Gu's younger brother.
He bowed at her, "Young Mistress."
"Long time no see," She smiled at him, "Where is Zixuan?"
"President is in a meeting. Shall I inform him that you are here?" He asked her quietly. Indeed a long time has passed since they last saw each other and she has changed even more. He still had a tough time believing that it was that fatty from the past whom all of them despised because of her disgusting actions.
Yu Mei shook her head, "I will wait for him here."
As Gu Min left the office room, Yu Mei glanced at his back through the glass. He is so different from his brother. She concluded in her heart.
While Steward Gu was usually calm and composed, one would know what he feels looking at his expression. In the past, he disliked the previous owner because of her strange antics but since she took over this body, she could sense the shift in his attitude over time.
Gu Min, on the other hand, was a bit different. One would never know what was on his mind no matter how they tried to.
Yu Mei walked towards the office desk and she placed her clutch on it before taking a seat on the swivel chair.
She glanced at his iPad which was lying on the desk.
