Chapter 839 - Finally here (1/2)
”Look. She came out of the meeting with the board members.”
”Why is she alone? Where are the board members and the people she came with?”
”Did the meeting fall through? Could that be why she is leaving?”
”Shh. Didn't you hear? She has always been our CEO. She makes all the choices for An Qing, while Chen Li Mei is just a stand-in.”
Leaving the conference room, Yue Ling received the stares of the employees as she walked past them.
However, she feigns ignorance to their whispers of curiosity.
She rode the elevator to the highest floor level and makes her way through the long corridor until she reached a pair of glass doors.
Her steps paused as she stares at the door. It was the same door she had entered when she got rid of Chen Limei. The entrance to the CEO's office.
However, unlike the cold expression she held that day, she had a look of dejection.
She slowly raises her hand and touches the door handle. With a slight push, the glass door leisurely opens like time had slowed down.
Her right foot moved first, then her left as her movements repeated until she stood in the middle of the room.
She stares ahead at the desk settled in front of the many floor-to-ceiling windows.
His head was lowered with eyes glued onto the doc.u.ment in his hand. However, like he heard her entrance, he lifts his head.
He stares straight at Yue Ling, revealing the kindness in his eyes as he smiles with his teeth.
”Ah, you're finally here.”
Yue Ling stares at the man for a long time. Her lower lip trembles ever so lightly as tears began to form in her eyes. The man's smile was one she will never forget as it consistently held warmth.
She pushes the tears back and softly smiles at the man.
”Chen Yifeng... I'm finally here.”
A chuckle escaped the man's lip when he heard her words. He calmly stood up from the chair as he kept a smile on his face.
”About time.”
Yue Ling's lips part like she wanted to say something, but before she could say a word, the man in front of her disappears like a Mirage.
She stares at the empty chair with eyes full of sadness. Everything that had happened in this room was a figment of her imagination.
The conversation she had with Chen Yifeng was one she had with him when he was still alive and healthy.
Her bluish-green eyes remained on the desk without blinking. After what felt like an entire day had gone by, she finally looks away.
She turns her head to look out at the window. She stares at the clear blue sky and sighs with a small smile.
”I've finally gotten rid of the people who betrayed you.”
*Knock knock
”Boss, I've brought Mr. Tong.”
A knock sounds from the door and interrupts her, followed by Qi Li's voice.
She pushes all feelings to the back of her heart and turns around.
”Come in.”
Qi Li enters the room but does not enter all the way. He gestures to the man he brought to come inside the room.
Once Tong Biao was inside, he steps out of the room to wait for further instructions.
Yue Ling stares at the man in his fifties. From the moment she saw him attend the meeting, she was able to read what was on his mind.
She turns away and walks towards the two couches in the room. She sits down on one then gestures to the one opposite of her.
”Mr. Tong, please have a seat.”
Tong Biao hesitated but knowing that he cannot defy Yue Ling, who is his superior, he nods his head and sits on the couch.
He made sure his head was lowered and clasp his hands together on his l.a.p.
Yue Ling arches a brow at the sight of the man. He is clearly a man in his fifties, but why does he look like a child scared of monsters?
Brushing the question aside, Yue Ling decides not to beat around the bush.
”Mr. Tong, you are in charge of all the maintenance inside An Qing. Is that correct?”
”Yes, CEO Han.”
