Chapter 709: New Corporations

**************

CHAPTER 709

Since Ye Cheng won the spot as the new Chairman things in the company started to look better and they all believed in him.

Even Li An was pleased. At the very least she knew their company would not fall or have its name rubbished in the future with her son leading it.

However, while Dream Star Corporation found something to lead their company, Li Jing was beginning to face her own challenges.

She had gotten to the office that day and was already swarmed with several files and documents that needed to be reviewed.

It was even worse considering she still handled the head company and the branch.

…..

“Let’s see just how much work I can handle in one day,” she encouraged herself and opened her laptop.

It had not even been up to two minutes she said that when her phone buzzed non-stop in her bag. Peeling her gaze from her laptop screen, she reached into her small white bag and took out her phone.

At first her brows raised in pure surprise by the caller. This was someone she had not seen in months now and he called.

WOW!

“Hello,” she said placing the phone to her left ear.

“Hello, Li Jing. Good morning.”

“Mr Kang, yo what do I owe this lovely surprise?”

“Ah, yes. It has been a while. Nothing much,” he smiled to himself. “I went for a business meeting with a smaller firm and I saw someone that reminded me of you.”

‘You have got to be kidding me.”

“Nope. Well, not look like you in terms of resemblance, mind you but in terms of her vibrancy in work and her zeal and ideas. That was when I realized I miss working with one such lady. I just could not help but reach out to you.”

A peal of soft laughter escaped Li Jing’s lips, bringing a sense of humour to Mr Kang’s ears. He really has missed her person.

“I am glad you still got this vibe in you. Hahhaa, being married to that grouchy pants did not take it from you, good one.”

“I see,” she giggled. “Mr grouchy pants. Hahhaa, he would become grouchy if he hears that,” she joked. After some seconds of giggling, she calmed down and spoke. “He is way nice to me. I never even thought I deserved it. So, I would not lose my vibe with Ye Cheng as y husband.”

“That is great. You two are lucky to have each other. He stole you from the market and the many guys who kept their eyes on you,” Mr Kang noted.

“Hoho… He would be jelly and possessive if you remind him,” she placed a hand over her mouth. “Hahahaa, it feels nice teasing him. Anyways, humour aside. How have you been sir?”

“Same old. Doing what I know best.”

“That is good. It is a nice way to live. It is successful once you find happiness in it.”

“Very. Anyways, I recalled I have not had the opportunity to talk with you about…”

“Way ahead of you,” Li Jing.”

“Huh? Do you know what I wanted to say?”

“A business proposal.”

“Well,” drew her words, “Not entirely. I was about to ask you how you were. But since we are moving straight to business then let’s have it.”

A small embarrassed smile formed on his lips. He lifted his hand to rub his temples before speaking. “My apologies then. I am fine.”

“Better. So, let’s hear it.”

“I would love for you to come and visit the company and see for yourself. With the ideas she fleshes out, it would be great if you mentor her. I believe she would do wonders with you.”

“Hmm, that is big. Mentoring someone.”

“Well, you can call it grooming. You can also invest in the business. I know you would love her proposal when you see it,” Mr Kang said convincingly.

“Okay then till I see for myself. Anyways, I plan on launching one of my ideas and proposals. I thought I should let you know.”

“Of course. You do not have to say more. You know I would be in on any business idea you come up with. You are a warehouse of great ideas and I know your capabilities, Li Jing,”

“Thank you. Your words flatter me indeed. When you are free, we would schedule a meeting and go over the details.”

“Alright then. I would open my schedule and let you know.”

“Thank you.”

“Okay then. I would leave you to get to work,” he finalized.

“Thank you, Mr Kang. Do have a lovely day.”

“You too. My regards to Ye Cheng.”

“Sure.” She ended the call and dropped her phone beside her hand on the table. A soft sigh fell off her lips as she leaned back allowing the warmth and comfort of her chair to envelop her.

Rather than returning to work quickly, she titled her head back and allowed her mind to move down memory lane.

Indeed, back then before she barely started, he was the person to believe in her and trust her capabilities.

The sheer thought that there was someone out there like her made her feel happy. Her tongue slid out of her lips and ran against her lower lip gently.

“Hmm, why does thinking about the past make me miss that naughty CEO more?”

She could not pinpoint it, considering she was thinking of her horrid past but now it was Ye Cheng’s thought that she felt and the warmth of his arms.

Shaking her head, she picked up her phone again. “I might as well see how he is doing saddled with new responsibilities.”

Just as she was about to click on the call icon, a call came in. Her brows relaxed when she saw the name and quickly answered it.

“Hello, grampus. Good morning,” Li Jing greeted in a chirpy voice.

“Morning. How is my sweetheart granddaughter faring?”

“I’ve been better. You?”

“I am okay and missing you.”

“Haha, grandpa. I am just some miles away, you know. You can always come and greet me. Okay, you know what, I would come to visit you after work today. How about that?”

“That is great, sadly I would not be in.”

“Oh, where would you be going?”

“I am returning home.”

“Home?” She sprang back in her seat and cleared her throat. “Why? Are you missing home so much?”

“No. That is not it. I have got some reports. I think there are some scrupulous activities going on with your aunties. Someone needs to keep them in check.”

“I see. I hope they are not planning to cause some form of trouble? I would hate to see you stressed because of them,” Li Jing breathed out. “You are getting old to be too bothered with their schemes.”

“I know but this is my last chance for them. Any wrong move they make, I would forget one is my sister and the other my sister-in-law and have them locked up. I know Lin Liqin would have no worries concerning that.”

She giggled softly at his remark. It was true. The old man did not like to be disgraced. And if she brought it on herself, he would let her have a taste of her medicine.

“Okay. I am no longer the forgiving Li Jing. If they wish, then they can be my guest. I have incriminating evidence against them.”

“Alright small pot. Get back to work and worry less. I would let you know if there is anything first, okay?”

“Thanks, gramps. Please take care and know I love you.”

“Love you too.”
