Just as everyoneâs 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 didnât glance at the screen as he answered the call.
Soon, a girlâs hesitant voice rang from the other end. âMr. Pei...â
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, âLooking for me?â
âHmmm... Yeah, I... Tomorrow... Can we meet?â the girl asked.
Pei Yucheng replied, âOkay.â
He ended the call and studied everyone once more. âFrom this day onwards, Ren Hongzhi will be taking over as financial director. He will oversee all the finances of Asiaâs division. Does anyone have anything to say?â
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.
âSince everyone agrees, the meeting shall end.â
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 Yuchengâs 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, âBrother Yu, itâs effortless to make these people listen and obey. They bully the weak and they wonât 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? Itâs too much trouble.â
Pei Yucheng halted when he heard the womanâs doubts. He turned around and glanced at her.
The woman shivered in fear when her eyes met his. She hung her head and whispered, âIâve crossed the boundaries.â
Pei Yucheng turned around and continued walking.
After a few seconds, the manâs voice spoke casually. âShe doesnât like it.â
The woman, who thought this was an illusion, only managed to react after some time. Pei Yucheng had answered her question.
She didnât like it...
The womanâs 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, âJi Lan, why did you even ask? Arenât you aware of why Boss has changed his temperament and temper for the past two years?â
He put the tulip, which was tainted with blood, back into his pocket.
As he spoke, his phone lit up with a news article. âLin Yanâs rumored boyfriends...â
The man smirked wryly at the article and added, âDonât despair, though. As long as the situation progresses normally, Boss wonât 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.â
