Chapter 997 - Announcing A Personal Affair (1/2)

“I didn’t drive to work today.” Baili Jia Jue glared at his elder son who was playing with the reapers against the wall, before taking a glance at the reporters standing guard outside the building. The corners of his thin lips gradually hooked up into a smile as he said, “Come and pick me up from work. We can stop by the supermarket together. Then, we can go home…”

Helian Wei Wei did not doubt him at all and replied immediately, “Great, I’ll go and pick you up later. I’m going to end the call, I still have some things to be done.”

Baili Jia Jue looked at the call that had been cut off, but he did not feel any unpleasant premonition. Instead, the smile lingering at the corner of his lips grew.

Baili Shangxie still had both of his small arms suspended in the air. He seemed unbothered as he pondered silently to himself. Jue Wei Group has so many cars, father could easily just order someone to drive him home. Why did he insist on having Imperial Mother pick him up? What are his motives?

Is it because of the reporters out there?

A glint of light flashed through Baili Shangxie’s pair of scarlet eyes.

Could it be that Father wants to…

“President Jue, the reporters outside are all ready.” Manager Zhang, who was in charge of corporate publicity, walked up to him with a warm smile and added, “I’m not sure what President Jue intends to announce. All the reporters present are very excited, but they are also worried that they might accidentally ask about a topic that they must not touch. Hence, I’m here to ask you about this in advance. Is there anything that you don’t want to speak about?”

Baili Jia Jue crossed his long legs, his side profile was charmingly handsome as he replied, “There’s nothing that they shouldn’t bring up, because…” He paused and raised his eyes with what seemed like a smile on his face, as he met Manager Zhang’s eyes, continuing, “This time, I’ll be announcing a personal affair.”

Personal affair?

Manager Zhang’s eyes widened, and for a moment, he lost his professional demeanor.

However, one could not blame him for reacting that way. Every worker was well aware that their boss had always been a mysterious person, ever since he moved to A City.

He was a famous person, and was widely known by people from A City and nearby cities. Especially those who worked in the same industry, very few would be unaware of Baili Jia Jue’s existence. Many people racked their brains for ideas to be acquainted with him. Furthermore, when the media heard his name, they would all be fighting to obtain first-hand information about him.

However, the media dared not do so. They simply could not afford to provoke this man, who was as all-powerful and overbearing as an emperor.

Manager Du, who was previously in charge of corporate publicity, foolishly angered him by bringing a large swarm of reporters to the building for an interview. Consequently, he was directly sacked by President Jue from the Jue Wei Group and his future in the industry was completely impeded.

Now, the president is voluntarily holding a press conference to talk about his private affairs?

Manager Zhang felt the world around him whirl as if he was hallucinating, wondering if he had heard him wrongly.

“What is it?” Baili Jia Jue put his ballpen down and raised a brow at him, asking. “Do you have any questions about this?”

Manager Zhang immediately shook his head and stuttered, “No, definitely not.”

“I’ll make sure that the media are ready for the press conference now.” Manager Zhang reverted to his diligent workaholic self and replied meekly, “I’ll be taking my leave now, President Jue.”

Baili Jia Jue merely nodded in response.
