-76 Chapter 40: First Phone Call (1/2)

The news of Yi Fei getting the disgusting delivery spread fast among her colleagues. All of them were sympathetic to her. They were consoling her; saying that maybe someone was only playing around. Deep down, they know that n.o.body would play a joke like that.

When Bai Jing Ting heard what happened to Yi Fei, he went into the staffroom to comfort her. When Bai Jing Ting arrived in the staffroom, he saw that Yi Fei was sitting quietly on her chair. She looked so pitiful and weak. Bai Jing Ting had the urged to hug and protect her.

”Are you okay?” Bai Jing Ting put the chocolate on her table. The parcel was nowhere to be seen. Only the bouquet of the flower was on her table.

Yi Fei looked at him and nodded slowly. She was smiling but her smile did not reach her eyes. Bai Jing Ting stood beside her. She did not say anything so Bai Jing Ting just patted her head. His action received a curious look from the surrounding onlookers.

Yi Fei was very much in shock to bother about Bai Jing Ting's gesture and the surprised look from her colleagues. She was busy thinking about the parcel she received and what she had done to receive such a scary parcel and cruel insult.

On the other hand, NaNa was typing furiously on her phone. She was shocked to see such a scary parcel too. She thought that this kind of thing only happened in the movie and drama.

Wu Chen had just arrived inside his office when he received a message from NaNa. After reading the message, he straightaway called Yi Fei to comfort her. His call did not get through so he called NaNa instead.

NaNa picked up his call almost immediately. They talked about what happened and NaNa began recounting everything she knew; about the bouquet of flower and scary parcel. While NaNa was busy recounting, Wu Chen clenched his fist. There were too much flies flying around his Fei Fei.

After the call ended, Wu Chen called Liu s.h.i.+ into his office in a serious tone. ”Liu s.h.i.+ changed my flight from Sat.u.r.day to Wednesday”. Liu s.h.i.+ was shocked to hear the instruction from Wu Chen.

”Also, do a background check on someone named Wen Han from City L. I need the file by tomorrow” Before he could say anything, Wu Chen added another instruction.”Don't bother coming home tonight. I am going to pull an all-nighter, bring me all the files I need to review before flying to City L”.

Liu s.h.i.+ wanted to cry. He had been coming home late the whole week since he returned from City L. Now, his boss wanted to pull an all-nighter so that they could fly earlier to City L. His mother had been nagging him to find himself a wife. How was he going to find one if his boss was an intimidating workaholic?

Jun Liu was about to start his meeting with his staff when his phone rang. He looked at the caller's id, ignored the call and asked the board of directors in his company to be seated. The phone rang again making him annoyed. Begrudgingly, he answered the phone.

”Construction starts on Monday. You will fly to City L on Sat.u.r.day. You should stay at my house for the time being until they finish preparing your apartment” Wu Chen did not leave any room for negotiation.

Jun Liu was accustomed to how Wu Chen did his business but this time, he was too rus.h.i.+ng.

”This is not what we decided last week…” Before he could finish talking, Wu Chen cut him off.

”Ah Jun, this time, it is very important for me” Wu Chen was not used to being questioned on the decision he had made but since Jun Liu was his best friend, he thought that he needed to explain a bit to him.

Jun Liu only ”mm” as his response to Wu Chen's demand. He started his meeting after that and asked his secretary to change his flight ticket from Monday evening to Sat.u.r.day morning.

Wu Chen continued his work and he was very serious about finis.h.i.+ng all his work. He did not entertain any message for a phone call because he did not want to be disturbed except for one.

MYM by Zhang Yixing blared across the room. He did not expect that the ringtone will ring so soon. The song was what he a.s.signed as a ringtone for Yi Fei because Yi Fei liked the song. She kept on whistling to the chorus of the song anywhere she goes.

”h.e.l.lo Chen Chen, good afternoon. I am sorry, I was very busy this morning; I don't have time to look at my phone. Why did you call me this morning?” A cheerful voice could be heard from the other end. In reality, Yi Fei was very nervous. This was her first time speaking with Wu Chen after he returned to City K.

”Are you okay? I heard about what happened from NaNa” Wu Chen was very worried about Yi Fei.
