The CEO’s Wife Has A Secret - Chapter 161
Almost everything has already been settled and it’s not as hectic as it was the past few days anymore. Southville project will go as proceed withe the newly revised plan but the schedule of the completion was pushed back a little due to the sudden changes.
“Xinyi, have you taken care of the task I’ve given you?”
“Yes, president. The parcel would have reached Old Chairman Cheng by now. Although they would definitely know that it was from us, they won’t be able to get any evidences as I’ve already cleared all tracks.”
“Then that’s good. Do they really think I’m a pushover? Let’s see how they will react.”
Even with the changes they made, people with discerning eyes would still see the similarities of the two projects and that might raise suspicion among people and knowing Chengxin Corporation they would surely use this to their advantage and indirectly tell people that Xi Corporation ‘copied’ theirs.
If by any chance that happened, no matter what kind of explanation they come with nor evidences they provide it has already smeared the project though there is a chance to turn the tables by then, it is a risk Xi Ana doesn’t want to take.
“President, may I be rude to ask you what is inside the parcel?”
“It’s a present for them and it would surely make their jaws drop because of shock. How I wish that I’ll be able to see the look on their faces by that time.”
With this present, no matter what kind of rumor would rise as soon as they launched Southville project Chengxin Corporation would keep quiet and they will also not add fuel to the fire by instigating people to create rumors.
It does not only seal their mouths but also bind their hands and feet from retaliating.
“What do you mean, president?”
“I sent that parcel in order to shut them up Chengxin Corporation might be a rival of our Xi Corporation in the hotel and restaurant industry but that doesn’t mean they are someone I cannot handle. My status as a part of the Nine Noble Families isn’t for show. Furthermore, who said I can’t play dirty when they always do so. If they don’t want those things to be exposed, they should have worked better at being discreet.”
The world is like a wild jungle where it is either you will eat or you will be eaten. President Cheng must have thought that no matte how successful I am, at the end of the day I am still a young and naive woman. Too bad, he underestimated me so much otherwise we would be in this kind of situation right now.Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href=”#'s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/present_51580669402347812″>#'s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/present_51580669402347812</a> for visiting.

Old Chairman Cheng smashed the vase near his table with his cane in anger. “That bastard! If only he is not my son I would long strangled him to death” the old chairman said through gritted teeth.
His ȧssistant on the other hand immediately responded and tried to calm the Old Chairman.
The ȧssistant was so panicked upon seeing the ugly expression on the Old Chairman the moment he scanned the things inside the the parcel that was sent to him personally. “Master, please restrain your anger and calm your heart.”
The old Chairman already has heart problems due to old age and he can’t be stimulated by intense feelings anymore.
After drinking water the Old Chairman was a lot calmer now than earlier, “Call that stupid son of mine immediately. I want to know what ‘good’ deed he do for me to receive something like this.” the old man is so angry that he felt like all the blood inside his body are already at is head.
“Yes, Master.” the ȧssistant went out for a while and immediately asked someone to call the president before going back inside the Old Chairman’s office to tend to his needs.
As soon as he is back inside he reported that someone already called the president over, “Someone already fetched the president. For now, please calm your heart I’m sure he will give you an explanation about this.”
Hearing what his ȧssistant said, the Old Chairman snorted. “I have repeatedly told him not to offend someone he cannot afford to offend yet he still went and did it. This matter is infuriating.”
It’s been a few years since his sin has taken over the company but because he is still alive and he knows that his son is still lacking on a lot of ways, he has not yet retired from his position as the chairman.
After a while the door to his office burst open and his son with his wide grin entered the office nonchalantly as if there is no problem at all. Unfortunately, this stupid grin is not something the Old Chairman wanted to see.
The old man who is sitting picked up the empty glass of water and threw it onto his son. The glass was able to hit him before hitting the to floor which the impact made the glass break. “Father!”
“At least you still know that I am your father you useless stupid son. Kneel!”
“Father!”
“I said kneel! Do you want me to break your legs before you started kneeling?” The sharp tone of the Old Chairman made President Cheng afraid and so he knelt on the floor with a bang.
President Cheng is already at his forties and his firstborn baby is a son so no one could criticize him in this area but as for his managerial skills, if it wasn’t for his father the Old Chairman’s people helping him out who knows if Chengxin Corporation can still survive in the industry or not.
No matter how could the body is, if there is a useless head above the neck then everything would be useless.
“Tell me who you have offended this time.” the Old Chairman sternly asked. This is an urgent matter, beating around the bush is not an option.
“What are you saying, father? I can’t understand what you’re trying to say.” he said those words earnestly. From his point of view, he didn’t do anything wrong to deserve being punished like this.
Old Chairman glared at his son as of telling him that lying won’t do him any good but President Cheng insisted that he has done nothing wrong.
“Father, believe me. I didn’t do anything wrong, from where did you hear such a ridiculous rumor?”
The anger that has slowly dissipated from the Old Chairman’s heart rose once again as he threw the parcel that he had received in front of his son.
“See for yourself whether it is a rumor or not. I’ve been tolerating you over and over again because you’re my son. All these years I haven’t retired because I am still cleaning after your mess and this is what you will do?”
He only has one child because his wife died early that’s why even if he wanted to give up on this son, he really can’t do so.
Preaident Cheng on the other hand looked at the contents of the box and when he realized what are the things inside he turned paler as each seconds pass.
The box was full of evidences of the illegal things he had done from the moment he become the president up to now. Even the things that has already been cleaned and taken care of are here.
One of the things that had truly catch his attention is the evidences against him with regards to the latest resort that he had lauched and from this alone, he can already tell who is the person who sent this ox to them.
“Father, I…”
“What? Do you remember now who have you offended? If these things were to be publicized, even though these were all done by you the one who will be affected is not only you but the whole company.”
His knees gave up and he slumped on the floor seemingly drained with energy before muttering, “I think the the person who sent this is President Xi.”
When the Old Chairman heard the name he was utterly shocked so confirmed once again, “President Xi? Do you mean President Xi of Xi Corporation?”
“Yes.”
The old man nearly fell upon the confirmation, if it wasn’t for the quick reaction of the ȧssistant he would have hurt himself. “Master!”
The ȧssistant helped the Old Chairman sit on his chair before immediately fetching another glass of warm water.
“What did you do to offend her?”
Faced with the extremely scary look on the face of his father, he doesn’t have the strength to lie anymore and so he confessed.
“I..I..colluded with some of the executives in our company and we contacted people from the inside of Xi Corporation and stole the initial plan of their Southville project. We originally planned to get the final plan but it was only passed on a few pairs of hands and so we couldn’t.”
“Don’t tell me that is what you have used for the resort you’ve recently launched?
With his face down he answered, “Yes.”
“Of all people you coild offend, you have offended Xi Ana. Do you know how many connections does she have? In my age, I’ve seen a lot. Do you think a simple woman would be able to achieve such feats? There is nothing we can do now, it is either to be at her mercy or to sacrifice you.”
“Father, no! I don’t wanna rot in jail.”
Of course there is no way he would let that happen but he just don’t want to make his son’s head grew bigger than it already is. “Then you should have been more careful, stupid son!”
