He placed his hands on top of the table and leaned in.
“I was doing great abroad yet Ms. Ma started spreading rumors about me being terminally ill? You are also falsely saying I agreed to have your son take over? Just what trick are you playing?”
Ma Xiaoyun was in a daze. Leng Yan’s never talked to her in this tone.
Even though he never called her “mom”, he had always called her “aunty”.
Everyone else also showed signs of confusion. The CEO’s tone was a little different from before.
Plus… were they illusional? How come it looked like the CEO grew a little bit taller compared to before?
But behind him was assistant Yu, and his face and voice for sure belonged to their CEO!
Ma Xiaoyun asked, “You are saying you were abroad? But every time I went to visit you, your butler said you were busy!”
“Being abroad means I’m not busy?” Jun Yexuan said, “Plus, I was abroad for an important meeting. Must I let all my competitors know just so they can sneak in and try to get a sliver of the pie?”
Ma Xiaoyun was forced to shut up. The executives, however, gained energy, “CEO, what kind of business did you get us this time?”
Jun Yexuan turned his head and smiled, “You know of third young master Jun and first young master Qi? They are two of the most influential men in this world. This time, I went to the Capital Country to discuss a big project with them. I’ve now partnered up with the Qi family and the Jun family. I’ve now opened up doors for the Leng family in the entire Capital Country.”
Yu Mo coughed beside him. This third young master Jun sure has thick skin.
He was good at complimenting himself without feeling the slightest shyness.
The executives were ecstatic at this news.
“The Jun and Qi families from the Capital Country! This partnership is no joke!”
“To partner up with them? This means our company is growing!”
“So the CEO has been away because he is out there doing great things!”
“To gain the confidence from young masters Qi and Jun mean our CEO is young and talented!”
“We were almost lied to! As the lady of the Leng family, why did Ms. Ma spread that kind of news? What was she trying to achieve?!”
“Yeah! The CEO is fine and healthy! Isn’t she cursing him?!”
“As I expected, someone’s evil thoughts are brewing just because the CEO has been away. It’s obvious what she wants. She wants her son to have the high spot!”
“It’s a shame that the CEO has been so nice to her. After the father passed away, he didn’t chase them out and instead, let her be the lady of the house. Yet this is how she repays him?!”
“She has those intentions but she won’t succeed! There’s no way her own son can handle the CEO seat. With him in charge, the company will go down within a week!”
“…”
Ma Xiaoyun was a little embarrassed to hear all the mocking comments.
Leng Yan’s words confused her even more.
“You said you went to the Capital Country… to discuss business with third young master Jun and first young master Qi? But.. aren’t they at your home?!”
Jun Yexuan, “You don’t understand how the world works? Since we decided to partner up, of course, they need to come and inspect how the market is here in this country!”
Something felt wrong to Ma Xiaoyun.
Beside her, Leng Jie grabbed her hand and swung it around. He pointed to his bandaged-up face and croaked out some “ah, ah, ah”.
