Chapter 177 - No Time For That (1/2)

----Inside the office-----

Upon returning from the meeting room, Yue Yeager saw his daughter sitting on the couch with a basket in her ŀȧp.

”Little Wan, you're here!” Removing his tie he rushed to her side.

”Shhh!” Yue Wan placed a finger on her lips and made a hush, ”He is sleeping don't stir him up.”

”Oh, ok! Ok. How did the diagnose go? Is his fever down?” Yue Yeager touched Little Bao's forehead.

Feeling the cold finger, Little Bao meowed with a pout and snuggled into the cushion like a mole.

”Better, daddy. How did your meeting go?” Yue Wan patted Little Bao's back.

Touching his temples, Yue Yeager closed his eyes and laid his head back: ”My schedule is getting quite tight. Our shareholders were getting impatient these days and balming Xiang for discretion. They feared that he might not suitable to deal with that big project as he hasn't produced the weekly report about the project progress. They want to switch to a person who could handle the Empire project better.”

”That's absurd. Big brother is the most intelligent and capable person, more so than anyone else.”

Suddenly, Yue Yeager slapped his thɨġhs, which wake her up from the past images.

”We can't blame them, Xiang hasn't made a position himself in the Yue Corporation. I begged him, all the time, to take the President's position in order to shut those shareholder's mouth up. But he always evaded it by saying that he is not ready.”

Taking a deep breath, Yue Yeager continued and clasped Yue Wan's hands firmly in his palms: ”Little Wan, can't you talk with him? That brat won't listen to me. He needs to know some global exposure and big faces in the business market, other than being in the military to deal with those scum.”

Yue Wan starred in her own space. 'Daddy, you don't know what his real power yet.'

In the past, after her marriage, Yue Wan found that he was in control of half the market for arms dealing and had close ties with the government. He even had an influence that spanned across the dark and light sides of the globe and boasted of an impressive number of mercenaries. To be frank, he was capable of anything to expect his trust and belief for her. However, right when he was revealing this information, she poisoned him thinking it was a normal drug in order to get his secrets. However, before she could pass on the information, that fateful night incident happened with Xiao Hua.

Seeing his daughter in deep thought, Yue Yeager tugged her to get her attention: ”Little Wan, what are you contemplating?”

”She was contemplating whether to kick you or not.”

Hearing that voice, Yue Wan stood up and ran towards him: ”Big Brother!”

On the spur of the moment, she embraced him. As she was shot her head landed on his chin.

Yue Xiang's eyes widened slightly and his pupils lost their focus as dense mist clouded his eyes' lower rims. He could feel the warm and strong beating of her heart past the fabric of her clothes.

Nostalgic feeling of his adopted mother, Yue Wan's mom, hugging the mini-version of him as he returned from his military training surfaced before his eyes.

Inside the washroom

Mei Ling's face was black as she stared at the mirror while clenching the phone.

”Why did you call me?” A rough voice asked.

”Today, that b*tch came to Yue Corp. You said that everything was under your control.” Mei Ling was gritting her teeth in anger.

”What exactly happened?” That bald man asked her, as he extinguishes the cigarette in an ashtray.

Mei Ling explained everything and added: ”What should I do now?”

”Don't panic. You are now Mei Ling who finished her education from states with splendid qualification. So, just get inside the Yue Corp. and keep me posted on the things happening there. I will call that Manager Mu to do something about your interview.” The line went off

Mei Ling took a deep breath and left for her interview.
