CHAPTER 378
Inspector-general Mo was impressed by her determination. But that does not mean he can do what she has asked.
"CEO Bai, you have to understand that–"
"It is a tough request," she finished for him. "I know... Since it is going through an order of agreement to install those cameras, it must also be a joint agreement to grant us access. You can also put forth my request to them," she said.
"Sigh. Alright. I will try my best. But..."
"But?"
"I'm not promising you anything. Your company is still under close observation, especially with the news about the harmful products. I hope you can understand."
"I do understand. When can I get your reply?" Bai Renxiang asked.
"Latest by tomorrow," came his answer.
"I appreciate your effort, inspector-general. I will hang up now so that you carry in with your work."
"Yes. Have a nice day."
"You too."
Bai Renxiang relayed the message to Charlie and focussed on the documents on her desk. Before long, the takeout Xia Xinyi ordered from the Jade Dragon restaurant arrived and she ate.
In the long run, it was past 4:00 pm in the evening. So she decided to call it a day.
Bai Renxiang was exhausted and most of all, she missed her treasures. Li Fengjin would have already gone to pick up Bai Xiaojin from school.
After arranging her desk and taking what was necessary, she left her office.
"Jinhai, I will be leaving now. Is Xia Xinyi still in her office?" She asked the busy secretary.
Ju hai looked up from the computer to see his beautiful boss. "Oh, boss. You have finally stepped out of the office. I hope you are alright."
"Yes, I am. Is Xia Xinyi still in?"
"Yeah, she is," he nodded. 'She can't go home without me.' Jinhai said the last part in his mind.
Bai Renxiang smiled at home before walking off to the office next to hers. She knocked thrice before entering. This was one of the things that Xia Xinyi had come to love about her.
She respected her assistant's privacy even if she was the boss here. It was a quality one could not help but admire.
"Xinyi, I heading out now," Bai Renxiang said after she locked the door behind her.
"You are leaving already?" Xinyi adjusted her round glasses before standing up.
"Yep. I have reviewed all the budgets for this month and other things including the designs for our held-up fashion show," Bai Renxiang dropped a few documents she had gone through today.
"Okay, boss. Uhm, what about the meeting with the people setting up the show?" Xia Xinyi asked.
"Make it first thing tomorrow morning."
"Yes, boss."
"That is all. Thanks for the take-out. See you tomorrow," she took her to leave.
"You too boss."
Bai Renxiang called the driver to get the car ready after that, she called Li Fengjin.
"Hey, love."
"My love, I was expecting your call. Are you done with work?" Li Fengjin asked.
"Yes. I am leaving the company now. How is our son? Is he with you or at home?"
"The little soldier is with me. We went to have a father and son time together. Right now we are at an ice cream parlour on Main street," He said.
"That is great. Wait for me there. I am coming to join you guys. Send my kisses to my little love, okay?" Bai Renxiang stepped out of the elevator and walked toward the driver and her standard black Porsche Cayenne.
"Okay, love. Bye."
"Where to, boss?" the driver asked as he held open the door for Bai Renxiang to enter the car.
"To the ice cream parlour on Main Street," she answered.
??????
At the ice cream parlour.
"Daddy, is mummy done with work?" Bai Xiaojin asked as soon as Li Fengjin ended the call.
"Yes. She just left the company and is coming to meet us. So we must wait. Also, she sends her kisses to you," Li Fengjin pecked Xiaojin's cheek
"Okay," the kid nodded.
"Do you like the ice cream?"
"Yes. Have a taste for yourself and you will see," Bai Xiaojin offered him his spoon.
"Okay. Let me have a little scoop... Hmmm. It tastes great," Li Fengjin nodded.
"I told you so. Have more. Let's eat it together," Bai Xiaojin picked up another spoon and dug in.
"Is ice cream your favourite snack?"
"Yes. I love all the flavours of ice cream. But I prefer chocolate like mummy and vanilla. Daddy, do you have a favourite flavour and snacks too?" Bai Xiaojin asked in return.
"Yes."
"What is it?... Wait let me guess."
Li Fengjin's lips curled up at the side. He was enjoying his son's talk and cute behaviour. He waited for Bai Xiaojin to guess what his favourite snack and flavour were.
"Uhm... You like chips. Potato chips," he guessed.
"Wow. I am impressed. I do like potato chips as my favourite. What made you think so?" Li Fengjin asked curious to know how he reasoned.
"Well, I figured that I have two most favourite snacks. I got ice cream from mummy and then I thought chips will be from my daddy," Bai Xiaojin shrugged.
"Are you serious?"
"Yes. Also, when we were at your house, I noticed that there were a lot of potato chips in the refrigerator."
"That is smart of you," Li Fengjin patted his head with a proud smile.
"Well, I got it from both of my parents so, of course, I am smart," Bai Xiaojin boasted.
"That's my boy."
"I have another question for you."
"Shoot."
Bai Xiaojin scooped another spoon of the chocolate-flavoured ice cream, "What is your favourite colour? Is it blue?" He asked before engulfing the spoon in his little mouth.
"Yes. I guess yours is blue too," Li Fengjin asked.
"Yes. I like it because mummy says my eyes are the prettiest things she has ever seen. And my eyes are like yours."
