Chapter 318 - Open Your Mouth (1/2)

”Director Xiang, what are your thoughts about the current condition of the company?” Yu Mei walked to the swivel chair as she took a seat, a calculative smile tugging at the corner of her lips.

Director Xiang was initially stumped at the question. He could not think what she wanted to know and what should be the proper way to respond to this somewhat bizarre question.

As something clicked in his mind, he opened his mouth, ”During President's disappearance, there were indeed some issues,” The old man's calm and happy tone from earlier had switched back to his usual professional one as he addressed her as 'President' instead of calling her lass.

The corner of her lips tugged up, ”Do elaborate,” Interest flashed in her eyes.

The old man was confused but he sighed before continuing, ”During your absence, the company was in chaos even though to the public, Rosette appeared to be perfectly fine. There were inner conflicts.”

The entire power in Rosette was in CEO's hands. Even all the shareholders combined barely possessed 14 percent shares and hence her sudden disappearance made it unable for any of them to decide on her part.

So when the media and rival companies started questioning Yu Mei's absence, things took a dip.

The scene was chaotic.

Now that he thought about it, his memories took him back to the fat and dumpling-like girl whom he met in the elevator, who later claimed to be their CEO's disciple.

She was their only hope.

Little did he know that she was their CEO herself.

He was shocked to know that their CEO was suffering from some strange disease which caused her to become like that.

Luckily, she has recovered and is all right now.

Yu Mei glanced at the man who was lost in his thoughts. She propped both her elbows on the table and placed her chin on her palm, ”What about now?”

It has to be said that before she died, she barely discussed things regarding the company with anyone other than the Vice President.

But at this moment, she was inclined to share her thoughts with Director Xiang perhaps because of the trust she had in him for a long time.

Director Xiang snapped out of his thoughts as he glanced at her, ”After your appearance, everything seems calm.”

”Like a calm before a storm?” She moved back and lifted the paperweight in her hand, her eyes gradually darkened, ”Director Xiang, something is amiss with the company,” She glanced at him only to find him in shock.

”What do you mean by that, President?”

”What I mean is during my absence, a large amount of funds seemed to have disappeared into thin air but they were meticulously hidden in the records,” A sharp glint flashed across her eyes.

Director Xiang was stunned.

By the time Yu Mei drove over to Ren Mansion, she found the place eerily quiet.

There was nothing wrong with it given that Steward Gu was sent to Shanghai for some work-related matters while the rest of the servants were dismissed by Yu Mei.

But she saw Jun Zixuan's car outside.

Just as she was about to ascend the staircase, a heavenly scent lingered near her nose.

She threw away her bag on the couch before drifting towards the kitchen.

She leaned on the doorway looking at the man who was engrossed in cooking.

”You're back?” He asked without raising his head.

She raised an eyebrow, ”What do you think?”

Jun Zixuan tilted his head to look at her. He observed her face quietly for a few seconds.

She stepped inside the kitchen before sliding up to the kitchen counter.

”What's wrong?” He asked after a few seconds.

She swung her leg back and forth as she glanced at him, ”How do you know something is wrong?”
