Chapter 509: Everyone Wants Their Own Dignity, He Also Wants It
Shi Xiaoqing stepped forward, she caressed Yin Shuiling’s hair. She hadn’t seen her for two to three months, and her precious daughter was getting more and more beautiful.
No wonder Yin Muchen was unable to control himself.
“Shuiling, your father has been talking about you all the time. He asked why you are still not coming back. I thought inside my heart to pick you up personally. Are you already done packing?”
“Yeah, I am already done.” Yin Shuiling stood up and said, “Mum, I’m going to wash my hands real quick. I’ll head out with you when I’m done.”
“Okay, go ahead then.”
Yin Shuiling went into the washroom.
Shi Xiaoqing looked at the room for a few moments before she took a few steps towards the desk that Yin Shuiling used to complete her homework. There was a stack of books on the table, and she opened the bag that she’d brought along with her. She took a magazine out and pressed it between the books.
After that was done, Yin Shuiling also came out from the washroom and said, “Mum, let’s go.”
“Okay.” Shi Xiaoqing took the luggage into her hands.
After going downstairs into the living room, Yin Shuiling waved at Aunty. “Aunty, I am going home now, bye bye.”
Aunty smiled and said, “Okay, Miss Yin and Madam Yin. Drive safe!”
Aunty walked them to the door, then watched Yin Shuiling board the luxurious sedan. The car cruised away and disappeared from sight.
…
Aunty quickly closed the doors, and she took out her phone to make a call.
Universal finance
Inside the VIP meeting room, all of the board of directors were seated around the brightly sparkling meeting table. It was the annual general shareholders meeting today. Everyone was dressed immaculately, and they intently listened to the market manager make his annual sales report.
Yin Muchen was sitting in the chairman’s seat. The man gelled all of his curls up today, and his hairstyle was in a trendy pompadour.
The curtains were drawn. There was a large screen in the room. Everyone quietly focused on the screen. Yin Muchen turned the black leather chair halfway. He wore the classic pairing of a white shirt and black trousers. He placed his left hand casually on the luxury and shining table, showing off his unfolded sleeves, and there was a silver button that was shining and sparkling on the jacket of his suit. The sleeves of his white shirt exposed his long and powerful fingers.
All of the high ranking staff in the room snuck a peak at their CEO. His formal attire made him look stern, and he gave off the aura of an expert in the finance world.
A man like him, he had many identities that he’d switch between at his pleasure. He was an expert in many areas, and he was really extremely stunning and mesmerizing.
He was really attractive beyond words.
Hu Ya stood at the side of the meeting room, and at this moment, the phone in his hands started to vibrate. It was Yin Muchen’s phone; Aunty was calling.
Hu Ya had a glance at the tense atmosphere in the meeting room. He did not hesitate at all as he went forward, bent over, and put the phone by the side of Yin Muchen’s ear.
Boss never answered calls during important meetings like this, but it was a call from Aunty. It must have something to do with Miss Yin, and that was a totally different case.
After being his secretary for so many years, Hu Ya had this ability to distinguish this.
The moment the phone was handed to him, Yin Muchen’s forehead was a little strained, but his face remained emotionless. He received the phone with his right hand, and he did not say a single word.
“Mr. Yin…” Aunty was frantic. “Mr. Yin, Miss Yin packed her luggage and left the condominium unit just now. Miss Yin went with Madam Yin back to the family home.”
All of the high level executives focused on change in the man’s facial expression. The man did not disappoint them with the frown on his handsome face.
The high level executives instinctively sat up straight. This CEO of theirs did not normally express his emotions, but now, he had a frown on his face.
The unhappiness on the man’s face was very obvious. The high level executives all sat at the edge of their seats as they were afraid of unintentionally angering the man.
Yin Muchen pursed his thin lips together and did not say a single word. He ended the call and threw the phone towards Hu Ya.
Hu Ya retreated to the corner, and the meeting continued.
As if nothing had changed.
The marketing manager still continued to present his report passionately. “This is the percentage of returns that we have gotten back in our investment in the highway project. Directors, please have a look…”
The high level executives all looked over. The report was awash with various numbers and figures, and it was overwhelming at first glance.
At this moment, a deep charming voice rang out in the air. He was calm and collected, and his voice sounded extremely pleasant to the ears. “The sixth column, the eighteen column, the percentage comparison for the Beijing- Shanghai High Speed Railway, is it 13.456% or actually 13.465%? Manager Gu, do you need me to give you time to calculate again?”
Manager Gu stood froze on the spot, and his face turned pale.
The high level executives all looked at the sixth column and the eighteenth column. They’d really just gathered around for show. There were so many numbers that it was nearly impossible for anyone to be able to scan through the sea of numbers with a single glance just like Yin Muchen just did. What a genius.
The speed of his brain whirring around was even faster than a calculator.
And he was a total genius.
Yin Muchen slowly channelled his gaze towards the marketing manager. He even curled the corners of his lips up and had a plain smile on his face. “Our profit for this project is 1 billion dollars. If we change our percentages by even a slight amount, based on the way Manager Gu calculated it, aren’t we lacking near a hundred thousand in profits? Where did this money go? Do I have to suspect that Manager Gu has taken the profit for his own benefit?”
The manager broke out into a cold sweat as he said, “Boss, I…”
At this moment, the curtains in the meeting room were all drawn open. The rays of sunshine shone into the room through the French windows and spewed onto the man. His handsome face was like a sculpture, and he looked even more dazzling and mesmerizing compared to the button on the sleeve of the suit.
But he slowly withdrew his smile. He threw the stack of documents towards the marketing manager. “I spend money to hire you, and it is not for you to make a mistake in your reports. There is only one chance; aren’t you going back to redo it?”
“Yes, yes.” The marketing manager was frantic as he quickly bent over to pick the stack of the document that were strewn on the ground.
The high level executives did not expect the man to be smiling one moment and throwing a tantrum right after. They barely had time to look at the man, and at this moment, the man stepped forward, and the entire meeting table was shaking. “Get lost, all of you!”
The high level executives were at a loss for words: “…” They knew that when one of them was in trouble, the rest of them would not spared either, woo…
Hu Ya quickly came forward, “The meeting is cancelled. We will inform you of when the next meeting date is set. We ask you all to leave.”
The high level executives were all happy to leave, and everyone held the documents in their embrace as they dashed out of the room like a gust of wind.
Hu Ya noticed everyone leaving, and he stepped forward as he probed Yin Muchen to ask, “Boss…”
Yin Muchen leaped up from his seat and strode forward. He walked to the side of the door as he said, “Cancel all of my appointments today.”
…
Yin Muchen got in the car and returned to the condominium unit. Aunty welcomed him and said, “Mr. Yin…”
The man dashed upstairs like a gust of wind and placed his large hand on the handle of the door. He pushed the girl’s bedroom door open with a loud bang!
The bedroom hadn’t changed much, and all of the girl’s clothes and books were still present. The gentle and sweet scent was still in the air.
It was a scent of a young girl.
But, the girl was no longer around.
He walked into the room and reached the centre of the room. At this moment, Aunty ran over and frantically explained, “Mr. Yin, when I came upstairs in the morning to ask Ms. Yin to take her breakfast, Miss Yin opened the door, and I saw Miss Yin packing her luggage, and she said she wanted to go back home.”
“After that, Madam Yin came over. Madam Yin said that she was here to pick Miss Yin up. Madam Yin also said… She said…”
Aunty did not dare to say it.
“What did she say? Say it!”
“Madam Yin said that she received a call yesterday. Miss Yin was sobbing uncontrollably. Miss Yin was choking up as she stuttered on and off. She was unwilling to say a single word, but it seemed like…she was both shy and afraid… She said that she wanted Madam Yin to bring her back home…”
Yin Muchen had a frown on his handsome face. He was panting, and he opened his eyes again to wave his hands to tell Aunty to go.
Aunty sighed inside her heart as she turned around to leave the room.
Yin Muchen had a look around the bedroom before getting a move on, He walked to the side of the girl’s wardrobe, her princessy bed, before stopping by the side of her small study desk.
Her textbooks were still stacked on the desk, but she did not want to use them anymore. He would help her with her homework every night, and he knew that her latest textbooks had been taken along.
There was a magazine wedged between the stack of books, and Yin Muchen stretched his hand out to take the magazine out.
It was a collection of short stories.
He flipped the book open. The book was a collection of many essays from female authors. The first story was from a 13 year old girl. She lost her father when she was young, and she followed her mother after her remarriage. Her stepfather treated her very well at the start, and as the girl started to grow old, she grew more and more pretty. Her stepfather would peek as the girl bathed, and when her mother was not home, he took the opportunity to touch the girl. After that, there was a night where he raped the girl. The relationship lasted for 5 or 6 years, and after the girl got pregnant, this relationship was exposed, and the stepfather went to jail.
The last paragraph of the story asserted that the girl was young and innocent. Against her stepfather’s threats, she chose to face it all by herself without saying a single word. She was tortured for six years, and her stepfather was a total shame to humanity. He made use of her tender age to take advantage of her, and it was his fate to face moral obligations and to face the legal system’s judgement and subsequent punishment. The girl should have learned how to protect herself better, distance herself from monsters, and to be brave and fight with evil.
Yin Muchen closed the magazine and threw it onto the desk. He did not have any emotions on his face. He took out his cigarettes and lighter from his pocket, and he lit one up.
He sat on the girl’s chair. He leaned his handsome figure in the back of the chair before taking a puff of smoke. He lifted his head up as he spat a mouthful of smoke.
Hmm…
The chair that he was sitting in right now, the girl would sit in it every night. He guided her through her homework these two to three months. He would sit in the chair, and the girl would hug him in his embrace.
How bad was he actually? He used one hand to hold the girl’s small hand as he guided her through her homework. He used another hand to touch her body, and he made her blush…
The princessy bed in the room, he’d also slept there before. He would press against her while he lifted her clothes up. She would not allow it. She would tug his short hair while she wanted to push him away from her chest.
He would even say some dirty words towards her. Every time, she was so shy that she wanted to duck away, and he would be happy whenever he saw that.
Yin Muchen laughed out loud. “Hah!” He smoked too hurriedly. He choked and closed his eyes. He covered the redness in his eyes. He knew he was gone already. That girl had finally realized what he was doing to her.
She was afraid now, so she escaped.
Yin Muchen’s mind was flashing with the words in the magazine. Youth, ruin, monster…
Yeah, the description was very appropriate, and he was probably just like that.
In the living room last night, he wanted to kiss her. She ducked away. He knocked on the door, and she did not dare open the door…
In her heart, he was probably one of them.
Yin Muchen felt his face go hot as if he had been slapped by someone. He knew that he was being really shameless right now, and the things that could not be exposed to other’s knowledge were all exposed at this instant.
Everyone wanted their own dignity, and he also wanted his.
But now, he also felt that he had lost all of his dignity.
In front of the closest and cutest girl he loved.
How did he come to this stage? She was extremely willing no matter what he did. She would cooperate obediently, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he did have a plan in mind.
Ever since Yi Lin Came, he followed his own plan and came onboard.
