Just as everyone’s hearts were about to stop beating due to the tense atmosphere, a phone rang.
It belonged to Pei Yucheng.
Pei Yucheng exhaled a puff of smoke. He didn’t glance at the screen as he answered the call.
Soon, a girl’s hesitant voice rang from the other end. “Mr. Pei…”
The moment the girl spoke, the stifling, suffocating pressure in the room dissipated abruptly, as though everything had been an illusion.
Pei Yucheng held his phone, looking stoic.
The atmosphere had changed drastically, though.
Pei Yucheng asked, “Looking for me?”
“Hmmm… Yeah, I… Tomorrow… Can we meet?” the girl asked.
Pei Yucheng replied, “Okay.”
He ended the call and studied everyone once more. “From this day onwards, Ren Hongzhi will be taking over as financial director. He will oversee all the finances of Asia’s division. Does anyone have anything to say?”
If this had been any other day, the Board of Directors would have made a huge ruckus over this major announcement. However, the room was hushed at the moment and nobody dared to protest.
“Since everyone agrees, the meeting shall end.”
Pei Yucheng stood before he departed.
Meanwhile, Cheng Mo was left behind to wrap up everything.
The young woman in black fixed her eyes on Pei Yucheng’s face as she trailed after him, keeping a close distance. The two men were right behind her as their footsteps echoed around the deserted corridor.
The woman was hesitant, as though she had something to say. Finally, she said, “Brother Yu, it’s effortless to make these people listen and obey. They bully the weak and they won’t repent until death is staring them in the face. We should give them a stronger blow so that they will stay quiet and obey. Why do we have to waste so much time trying to investigate? It’s too much trouble.”
Pei Yucheng halted when he heard the woman’s doubts. He turned around and glanced at her.
The woman shivered in fear when her eyes met his. She hung her head and whispered, “I’ve crossed the boundaries.”
Pei Yucheng turned around and continued walking.
After a few seconds, the man’s voice spoke casually. “She doesn’t like it.”
The woman, who thought this was an illusion, only managed to react after some time. Pei Yucheng had answered her question.
She didn’t like it…
The woman’s face was as white as a sheet as she stood there in a daze and stared intently at the man who walked ahead.
The young man in the suit said airily with a sigh, “Ji Lan, why did you even ask? Aren’t you aware of why Boss has changed his temperament and temper for the past two years?”
He put the tulip, which was tainted with blood, back into his pocket.
As he spoke, his phone lit up with a news article. ‘Lin Yan’s rumored boyfriends…’
The man smirked wryly at the article and added, “Don’t despair, though. As long as the situation progresses normally, Boss won’t be able to hold himself back any longer…
I heard from Xiao Mo that Boss blew up tonight and caused the table and cup to shatter. I wonder what provoked him.”
