CHAPTER 434

"Are you giving me advice?"

"Better believe it now before it is too late. And oh… Tick tock… Please you may leave my office."

"Fine, I would go but this is not the end, you would hear from me."

"Would I?" She did not say anything again and waited for Hu Qi to pick and things and step away from the table. "Oh, be rest a.s.sured, this is not the end, you would see my lawyers. Take them out."

"Ma"am please this way." The first security guard said, approaching Hu Qi.

"Don"t touch me. I know the way out myself."

"You should be thankful we are not using force," the second security guard voiced out, his face showing his full disgust, not hiding how he feels about what she did.

Li Jing waited and the second the door was shut behind them, her triumphant smile appeared on her face. His was perfect for her. She had succeeded in removing the weed from her family.

It was time to set the board meeting and ensure Hu Qi does not have any shares in that company. She was going to cripple her and break her wings and ensure what just happened does not repeat itself a second time.

She picked up the telephone and placed a call to her financial manager. "h.e.l.lo? Yes, this is I, Li Jing."

"Oh my goodness. Good morning ma. Welcome back. I was not aware that you had returned and resumed office."

"Yeah. It is okay. Please I need you to prepare a thorough breakdown of the company"s financial statement of account for the last three months."

"Noted ma."

"How long do you think that would take you?"

"Umm, give or take, one day ma. Luckily, I always prepare a financial statement of account every month, so it wouldn"t be hard. All I need is to prepare fr this month and since we have only gotten halfway through into the month, I do not have a statement of account ready."

"No worries then. Just do you. I would schedule a meeting for tomorrow afternoon. That should be enough time for you? Or should I take it further?"

"No need ma. I would get it ready within 24 hours."

"Alright, thanks so much and sorry for the short notice."

"Anytime ma. My pleasure."

"Have a nice day." She dropped the call and sat down, relaxing on her chair.

It has been a while. She did miss her office if she was being honest with herself. But such a big office came with such big responsibilities.

PHEW!

She let out a deep sigh and picked up her phone. In no time she was already dialling a number.

A couple of rings and someone answered the call. "h.e.l.lo?"

"Hi. Good morning."

"Good morning. Please who am I unto?" A tiny feminine voice rang out from the other end of the phone.

"It is I, Li Jing."

"Oh my! Good morning ma. I am sorry, did not have this contact. Wow."

Li Jing smiled to herself. As expected from her personal a.s.sistant. She was sometimes jittery but nice in some way. Only scared in some.

"Deng Meili, why did you not call to inform me about my grand auntie firing you?"

"I am so sorry ma. I failed in my duties to you. I did not want to inform you because I felt so ashamed of myself. She figured out I was doubling as a spy when she wasn"t really getting useful intel from me again. In anger, she fired me."

"I am sorry about that but that was why you should have called."

"I could not face you after such. I just felt so ashamed of myself."

"It is alright. I am calling now to inform you to resume work first thing tomorrow morning. The new personal a.s.sistant just fired herself by herself. So viola, your position is waiting for you."

"Ma? You said?"

"You heard quite well my dear. Come back to work. Also, how is your mother"s health now?"

"Oh my goodness! Ma, I am speechless. I do not know how much or how well I can thank you. Thank you so much. G.o.d bless you. My mum is better now. She is responding to treatment, thanks to you. Oh, what you have done for me in my life."

"It is okay. Happy to be of help. You can take today to prepare for whatever you need. I need you in the office soon considering the slot is free now. Well, technically not. You have your job back."

"Alright, ma. Thank you so much. I promise not to disappoint you. I would do my best," Deng Meili promised. She was so glad she got the opportunity to try out and do her best again. At first, she had bothered about getting a good job like the last but now…. Not anymore.

"I trust you won"t disappoint me. By the way, should in case something of what happened repeats itself again, do not hesitate to put a call across to me."

"Noted ma."

"Great then, have a nice day."

"You too, ma."

As soon as she ended the call with Deng Meili, she put a call across to Ye Cheng.

She had been dying all morning to talk to her hubby but she needed to ensure she took the weed out of the crops to ensure they grow well. Now that all that was done, she was glad that she could breathe in the fresh air again.

"Hey, love."

"Hey, honey. Good morning."

"Morning, sweet. How is your day going?"

"Splendid. Never have been better since I came back."

"Really? Tell me, what"s new?"

"I successfully got my grand auntie out of the company but that is not all. Am not done with her yet? I would make sure, I follow her all the way."

"Hmm. Nice, congrats."

"Why don"t you sound happy about it?" Li Jing questioned.

"Judging by who she is, it would be hard to deal with her. She has some strings she can pull even if you want to send her to jail.. So in the end, she may just still go scot-free."
