Empress Of Business World - Chapter 208

Yan Shu faced a lean man who sat beside that burly man. He is lean he had a beard. His face is not clean. His body is tanned due to the constant exposure to the sun. As he sat in front of the Yan Shu he seemed nervous. When she turned her gaze towards him, he felt like his soul s.u.c.k.e.d dry.

She didn’t say anything she just looked at him with averting her gaze. Her gaze making him shiver. If looks can kill someone he would have died an hour ago.

“Tell me why did you endanger the lives of so many?” Yan Shu asked in a chilly voice making him feel goosebumps.

He wanted to say something but he couldn’t find his voice due to extreme nervousness. He felt like smtg stuck in his throat. He is unable to process his words. He gulped visibly. He clutched his pants tightly as crumpled his pant.

“I don’t have all the time. I have clearly allocated the budget for all of your worker’s wages. And the records are showing that you are receiving your increased wages from the past three months. What made you hold a meeting with your workers so suddenly that too early in the morning? And also why on the slab which is built a week ago?” She asked.

He still kept silent. He wanted to say that he doesn’t need to answer her. But he couldn’t. An ominous feeling started brewing inside him.

Yan Shu started feeling impatient. “Since, you don’t want to answer. Then don’t. I heard you have a sick daughter. I know where is she. I will get answers from her. ” she said as she lifted the corner of her lip on the right side.

The man is stunned in his stupor. He felt like he turned into a living statue.

“President, please don’t do anything to my daughter. I swear I will tell you everything. One day I got a call from an anonymous person. He said he will give money for my daughter’s illness if I rise the issues about the wages and make them turn against you. If I don’t do it they said they will not allow my daughter to get treated wherever I joined. ” he said in a single breath in a local accent.

“You should have informed me or any other officials about it,” she asked.

“They warned me not to tell anyone.” He replied.

“But why that place? Even you know it’s dangerous to meet there?” She said.

“I was asked to meet there along with my coworkers at that place by the branch head. If we don’t meet there they said we won’t get our wages.” He said.

“But you are supposed to make an issue why did you hurry there with your people to receive wages?” She asked. Actually, she knew the answer.

“Miss. President, I thought to use that situation to raise the issue. During that time only all the workers started shouting and huge commotion took place and the slab shook as it is not strong enough to bear the weight and it cracked down. ” he said.

She said nothing and stayed silent as she looked at him intently. Her gaze making him wet his pants. He felt like he couldn’t go out alive.

” Miss. President, I’m after all a lowly worker who works to get monthly wages. I can’t help but tremble when I get into trouble. And besides, I am not a big person like you. My only wish is to provide a good education and give good treatment when my family is sick. So, please spare me, ” he pleaded.

“I will get your daughter treated with the best facilities. So, don’t worry about those people who warned you.” She said as she assured him about his daughter’s treatment.

“Thank you, president.” He said with a big smile.

“But…” She stopped her words as she looked at his face which turned pale due to her single word.

“But in return, you have to say the truth in front of the media.” She said.

“Also, do the workers are not receiving their wages?” She asked.

“No, some are getting and some are not getting, ” he said.

” I will take care of it.” She said.

“You may leave, ” she said to the lean man who sat in front of him.

He stood up and bowed his head and left.

After he left she looked at the burly man. His face is shaved neatly. His hair is combed neatly. His face is clear and he wore a black suit whose color resembled the dark night sky. His face is growing stiff under her gaze. But after the union leader left he grew relaxed.

As he gazed at her serious-looking face. He thought she is not as scary as the rumors said. She is quite patient and harmless. He thought he can manipulate her by his words and get out of the situation. He smirked inwardly when she left the Union leader unscathed.

Suddenly, her aura changed. Her eyes looked different. She looked like a different person when she dealt with that union leader. He wavered at his thought of manipulating her. But he brushed it off in that second as he looked at the women.

Human beings have the worst habit. That is looking down at others. And the guy who sat in front of her is one of that kind.

“So, Mr.Peng don’t you have anything to say?” She asked with raising a brow.

“President, I don’t know why did you call me here. And you are accusing me of something I didn’t do anything or committed,” he said confidently to her. As if he is completely innocent.

She curved her lips into a taunting smile. But the branch manager just took it as a friendly smile. He patted himself for being smart and having excellent acting skills. Unbeknownst to him, his lips curved into a smile.

“Do you know it’s easy to get an answer from that union leader because his bottom line is the people around him. Everyone will have a bottom line. Once when someone touches it, it will make that person either a coward or a maniac. I think we all have a bottom line. Right?” She asked.

He doesn’t know why she is saying all these things. But he felt something is going to be wrong. But he still nodded.

“But the pity is some people can’t retaliate and some can’t. People who retaliate they will give in like our union leader. And people who can retaliate they will make others suffer. Since you want to suffer. I don’t mind. ” she said as she gave taunting smile.

She gave him a photo. It’s a photo of his wedding with his wife.

“It’s my wedding photo. What do you mean by this president?” he asked.

“How many years it has been since you both got married?” She asked.

“Three years, ” he said.

“Hmmm, ” she tapped her chin lazily.

“You guys are not planning to have a child?” She asked with an innocent smile.

Now he is sure she knew about his secret.

“Miss. President, I don’t think you have time to talk leisurely with me,” he said.

“As expected of a smart person,” she said.

She threw another photo in front of him. In that photo, there are two men lying on a bed. They are kissing each other. They seemed to completely immersed in their things.

“I heard you and your wife relation is not good maybe this is the reason I think right?” She asked.

“What are you implying, President San?” He asked.

“I know you are the Son-in-law of Mr.Sun. if this thing comes out your boy toy will not be safe. And who knows he might be alive or not. And knowing your wife’s temper do you think he will be safe?” She said.

Yes, he is gay. But he is a selfish person too. So, when the daughter of Mr.Sun chased him he pretended to be in love with her. Eventually, they both git married. But he didn’t touch her after a year they started having arguments. But those lead to nothing. So, his wife started to enjoy herself behind his back. Even though he knew all these he didn’t say anything.

He wanted to be rich. To become rich he walked on the Coattails of Mr.Sun. He did everything he is asked to do. And this issue is one of them.

Panic started rising in his eyes. He couldn’t believe the things.

“So, tell me the truth,” she asked.

“Of course I did this. But I did this because Mr.Sun asked me to do it. Please leave him alone. He is innocent. ” he pleaded.

“You may leave.” She said as she gave him a stack of photos.

He left after bowing his head. But he still couldn’t stop the ominous feeling in his heart.

The moment he stepped out of the building he is surrounded by the reporters and started asking him questions.

“Mr. Peng, why did you marry Miss. Sun if you are gay?” A reporter asked.

He is stunned in his spot but he has no time to recover. He is immediately flooded with many more questions. No wonder he came unscathed from the devil. Now, he simply felt pity for his stupid self for thinking he can manipulate her.
