25 Chapter 25 : Distress Call From S University (1/2)

Ever since that PDA night, curious people tried to get more information about Mrs. Xing Xiulan.

Beauty, health and fashion media platforms would try to get the latest information about her by putting paparazzis dressed as civilians outside Xiulan's office building. These sneaky paparazzis asked Xiulan's employees about her. Good thing most of their comments are good and positive.

But some giant media team would try to get hold of Xiulan's nutrionist, gym instructor and stylist instead to get the latest and direct information. The three Rongs would gladly and generously share a few information about Mrs. Xing and it's also a way to put their name out there. Hongqi also allowed them to talk time to time but they shouldn't put all the necessary information out there.

”Boss, here are the reports about Wen Wuzhou and his upcoming hacking competition. It looks like he just wanted the best security for his banks. Also regarding those fresh graduates that kept on pestering us, they suddenly stopped contacting. It seems that they are quite busy with this.” Secretary Dandan reported to Xiulan and handed an black A4 booklet that contains an immediate order for all the S University alumni.

”From S university? What is it about?” Xiulan seriously asked and eyed the black A4 booklet.

”A distress call. According to their representative's call this morning, there's a terrorist group that managed to infiltrate five rural universities' database and got some sensitive personal data. These bad guys are currently running around using these personal data. There's also a hearsay that they are planning to attack malls and private buildings to create threats and to oppress. S university wanted to get the help of all the alumni to track these terrorists in whatever method. The booklet contains the list of information they currently acquired about the terrorists and some foot notes that can only be read by you, boss.” Secretary Dandan explained the issue.

Xiulan listened seriously and carefully. She checked the inside of the booklet and saw a small note hanging out. ”vince malum bono” in translation means 'overcome evil with good'. Xiulan slightly put a warm smile when she read that.

Secretary Dandan saw the warm smile in her boss' lips and she wonders what made her boss finally smile. She rarely saw that kind of smile from her ever since that bland nutrionist started coming to serve her lunch.

The warm smile ended quite quickly and Xiulan plastered a very tired smile. She put her attention back to Secretary Dandan. She looks so tired by all the adjustments in her new life. She can't even have a proper smile or even laugh anymore unless she has to read some memes and whatever she saw in the booklet.

”Uhh... Also you have three more meetings this afternoon. One for a general meeting about the new servers and your introduction to the new security system you have developed for the company. After that, meeting with finance department. Then lastly, meeting with some shareholders. Just a heads up, boss. They are expecting that you would try to make the company open to more investors especially the big ones.” Secretary Dandan informed and pursed her lips when she talked about the shareholders. It's not like the company is financially suffering, but there are a lot of big companies that wanted to invest but Boss Xiulan doesn't like to be involved with huge companies, especially to her husband's company.

”I understand. Thank you, Dandan. You may go.” Xiulan meekly said and stared down at the documents in front of her.

Secretary Dandan slowly left the room and was really worried over her boss. Lately there's this sexy nutrionist who's sending bland food for her boss every lunch time and her boss must leave the office before 7 PM.

Though Boss Xiulan is now wearing prettier clothes. She seems to be frustrated with her new lifestyle. Now add this distress call from her university. Secretary Dandan wanted to help her boss but how can she even help in the first place.

”I think I need to talk to Hongqi. Having a strict schedule stresses me so much. I need to help with this national issue at least.” Xiulan tiredly muttered to herself.

Her gym session with Li Rong finished an hour ago and she's now resting in her 'prison' room, waiting for Bai Rong's bland but nutritious dinner.

She went full kill mode in her mini boxing session with Li Rong. The shareholder meeting was so stressful for her. They were all trying to convince her to open the company to big clients and she should use her relationship with Hongqi as PR for the company. It infuriated her so much. Now she's putting all the killing intent in her gym session.

Also add the problem with S University. She thought that when will these pile of problems leave her alone?

She texted Hongqi awhile ago that she wanted to talk. The damn man didn't even reply. If he will not reply or even talk to her, she will just have to rebel. She will go back to her old apartment and work there a few days.

Suddenly, Xiulan heard a mechanical scraping like the door of the master bedroom is being opened.

Xiulan quickly sat up and went to check if it was Hongqi.

Hongqi was still wearing a dark blue Armani suit and his face has the word 'tired' all over it.

Hongqi put his brief case that looks like 007's beside the bed table. Took off his coat and necktie then he sat on the corner of the bed and one by one taking off his shoes and socks.

”Hongqi...” Xiulan silently called.

Hongqi heard an incoherent noise and thought he was just hearing things so he ingored it.

”Hongqi...” Xiulan called out again and drags the 'i' in his name. She really doesn't know if its alright to come inside the master bedroom now and confront him.
