CHAPTER 136
Just hearing Mr Kang speak made Ye Cheng glad he asked her to work for him before others did.
Unknown to him, he was a day too late but circumstances and Li Jing's bragging to her sister, made him win.
Nature was on his side, it would seem.
"Oh," those were the only words Li Jing could utter right then.
"Yes. He told me you had a great business proposal and he would love for me to go through it and approve it. He already gave me an assurance that I would love it."
"Okay." Li Jing knew that there was a catch to him telling her this. He wouldn't be telling her words of praise from someone just like that.
"I am eager to see the business proposal through but why did you not tell me about it yourself?" His face lit up with an unknown charming smile, with mischief clearly at wake in those eyes of his.
"I was going to but then your girlfriend happened and you left the office that day and the next, you already know what happened after that. Honestly, I wasn't expecting he would contact you soon about it."
"Oh really?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
Li Jing went ahead and explained how Mr Kanga and her got talking because of a marketing slide she made and her sister was to pitch but turned out into a failure.
That was why he had looked for her, wanting her to work for him.
Hearing her mentioning it again, He Cheng's eyes darkened. He did not want her to go as she was not just very good at her work but was also one who of the few he could trust.
It seemed that now, he may not be able to hide her much. Regardless, he was glad that she stood by him and did not accept.
Call him selfish, yes he knew what he wanted and he was not ready to let her go.
"Okay, since you didn't tell me about this before and I had to find out from someone else, you would have to make it up to me."
'Enh, what is he saying. I am not at fault for anything. If there is anyone who owes, it should be him. I have rejected others just because of him.' If only Ye Cheng could hear her thoughts right now.
Rather than voice it out, she displayed a confused look on her face and replied to him. "Why am I making it up to you?" Li Jing asked.
"Huh, did you not just hear what I said?"
"Yes I did but…"
"Relax. It won't be much."
"Oh!"
"Yes."
"What is it then? Looks like you already have this planned."
"Not really. Things just came up and I happened to be in need of a favour."
"Really?"
"True."
"Things like what?"
"A date."
Pff…
Honestly, if Li Jing was drinking something right there, she would have spat it out and sprayed it on his face.
Was he serious right now? A date!
********
Towards midday, Ye Cheng's father found out about the news and put a call through to his son to quarrel with him. He could not believe his son.
Ring!
Checking the caller, Ye Cheng answered the call but did not say anything and waited for his father to speak.
He had been expecting his call all day and when he saw it, it was like a lightweight was lifted off his chest. Now he would no longer have to worry about when the old man would call him so he would get over with it as he saved him that stress and worry.
"Ye Cheng!" Ye Sheng shouted from the other end of the phone at his son's obvious rude remark.
"Did someone annoy you this afternoon?" Ye Cheng asked.
"Why you! This unfilial son. Now, what is the meaning of what I am seeing?"
"And how do you expect me to know what you are doing?" Ye Cheng questioned.
If he could have seen his father then, he would have had a fit laughing at him. His veins popped out at the side of his head at his son's remark.
"Ye Cheng! You know what I am talking about." He was not ready to start saying all of his son's actions one after the other like he was talking to a kid, now was he?
"I would do if you just spit it out, Chairman Ye."
"Who are you calling…"
"Isn't that your name and position, father?"
Fine, I would say it. What is the meaning of what is in the newspaper? Or have you forgotten that you are the image of Dream Star Corporation?"
"You mean that?"
"Yes."
"What else would I be talking about if not that?"
"Last I recall, my personal life is none of your business nor any other person's."
"Ye Cheng! I do not care what you want to say. All I want you to do if to erase those things from the news."
"If you had bothered to check, you would have noticed that it is all gone."
"Better. Let this do not re…" Beep-beep! "Ye Cheng! This naughty child."
Ye Cheng was tired of his father's nagging. Sometimes he wondered how his mother had coped with all these. He was a man but he behaved like a lady with his constant talking like a worried hen.
He was already thinking about to put some things in play and uncover the secrets behind his accident and capture all those involved.
He planned on making the men pay for all the beating as a warning to Chairman Zhang.
"What a day. I just hope things can go on smoothly after this."
He had not finished lamenting when his phone screen lit up again. Without looking at the caller, he turned the phone screen upside down to silence the call but he caught sight of the caller first.
His eyes shot open at the caller and he quickly turned the phone back and answered the call.
