Chapter 157 - Is President Du alright? (1/2)

The next day, Mrs. Smith, Han Ye, DX and Kai Xin went to visit the victims of John.

Along the way, DX could not stop smiling whenever he thought of what Kai Xin told him.

Mrs. Smith whispered to Han Ye, "Is President Du alright?"

Han Ye glanced at the rearview mirror and sat that DX and Kai Xin were sitting appropriately with a distance between them.

Every now and then, DX would smile for no reason.

In a hushed tone, Han Ye replied Mrs. Smith, "President Du's mind is not something mortals like us should question."

Mrs. Smith looked up at the rearview mirror and saw that DX was back to his stoic self.

She nodded as she said softly to herself, "Indeed, there are some things mortals should not know..."

They spent the entire days going from house to house.

When the victims opened the door, most of them were surprised by the appearance of DX at their humble abodes.

They were even more surprised when he apologized for not knowing what had happened to them.

"It's not your fault, President Du," said one of them while she looked down at her feet.

"I was the one who hired him so I have to take on the responsibility," said DX.

He glanced at Han Ye who handed her a cheque with $250,000 written on it.

Thinking that he was trying to bribe her, the girl stared at the cheque in anger.

However, before she can say anything, Mrs. Smith said, "President Du is not trying to buy your silence. This money is to help you out. You have been out of job since you resigned. No doubt you must have a lot of credit card debts."

When the girl looked at Han Ye, he nodded and said,

"President Du worries that even though you have left the company, you might still be suffering. Use the money to see a psychiatrist or to do some retail therapy. There's no string attached to it."

The girl felt so grateful that she fell on her knees in front of him. He was right.

She was unable to find any work and because of John who was blackmailing her, she ended up in a huge debt.

DX helped her up and said in a kind voice that was unlike him, "Don't think too much of this. If you would like to return and work under Du Corporation, just let Han Ye knows and he would arrange everything."

The girl nodded. She had never seen this side of President Du. Back in office, he rarely talked to anyone other than the Head of Departments and Han Ye.

Everyone called him "The Iceman" behind his back.

As she waved at the car that was driving away, she felt so guilty that she used to be one of those who called him "The Iceman".

In the car, DX massaged his shoulder while he read through the profile of the last person they were going to visit.

Seeing his action, Kai Xin spoke up, "Mr. Han, can you pull up the partition, please? I have something private to talk to President Du about."

Han Ye nodded. He was glad that Mrs. Smith was in the car with him. At least those two would control themselves a little.

Once the partition was up, Kai Xin took the documents away from him.

DX looked at her curiously as he wondered what she was up to.
