The CEO’s Wife Has A Secret - Chapter 177
Li Jingli could feel that an intense gaze on him and when he raised his head, he saw that Xi Ana is looking at him and can feel the coldness seeping from Xi Ana.
He does not need to think anymore because from this gaze alone he could already tell that Xi Ana already know about the meeting he had with her father during the day. Even if they’ve been together for so long he still feel a little bit scared whenever she this coldness is directed to him.
“Li Jingli, before we start with our agenda is there something you want to tell me?” hearing those words confirmed that she certainly knows about the meeting.
He cleared his throat before answering while Fang Wenna is only quietly observing at the side. “I met with Uncle Feng earlier today at lunch because I had to confirm something with him. This matter, I didn’t intend to keep this from you.”
“Of course, you don’t because if you do you wouldn’t choose a restaurant where I usually have my lunch bought. It is as if you deliberately did so I would know.”
Aside from the obvious fact that the restaurant is indeed near Xi Corporation, this is also one of the reasons why he chose that place. “It’s not like keeping it a secret from you will do you any good. Before I’m your friend, I am also a man and a man keeps his words. This is the extend of what I can tell you.”
Those words were few but they already contain everything he wanted to say, after all he really did promise that he won’t say anything.
By deliberately eating at that place, this would tell Xi Ana that what they talked about has ‘something’ to do with her but he also said that he is a man therefore it means that what they talked about is not something he could casually speak of.
Fang Wenna who is only listening chuckled, of course she also realized what Li Jingli did. “You’re really bias towards us Jingli, this is the reason why we were so spoiled by you two.”
“Who will we spoil and pamper if not the two of you?” Li Jingli answered smoothly.
Xi Ana didn’t know whether praise him or reprimand him with what he did so she just sighed and commented, “If we could realize this then my father would also realize it so by did you even bother promising?”
“Technically speaking, I didn’t tell you anything about it any you eventually found out from a little bit slip of the mouth. Was it my fault that our two girls were born with such intelligence? I know that Uncle Feng is also aware of my intentions when I booked a room at that restaurant, if he really didn’t want to tell you entirely about it he wouldn’t have agreed at that place.”
Certainly, this is also one of the reasons why he knew that somehow at some point Shen Feng also wanted to tell everything he has been keeping to Xi Ana, maybe in his mind this could be the perfect excuse to finally tell her about everything.
“Fine, I won’t ask further. Anyway, sooner or later the two of us needed to talk about a lot of things anyway. For now, I’ll just put on top of his head.”
“That’s a wise decision. Really, our lives couldn’t be any be messier than this right?” although that sounded like a joke from Fang Wenna, all of them tacitly agree to this. Their lives, indeed are messy.
After a few minutes they finally started their meeting and as usual, An Qi Lu will only be joining them through a video call. “So where are you right now, Qi Lu?” Fang Wenna asked first thing as soon as the call got connected.
“France. Have the two of you been good lately?” the ‘two’ obviously refers to the two women.
People might find them being overprotective to these grown up women exaggerated but they certainly don’t care. To be more honest, they were even more ‘exaggerated’ when they were still in the university so this is actually nothing if that were to become the basis.
Their actions before were akin to that of a brother having a sister complex to the point that sometimes they just want to keep them at home at all times so that no bugs will linger around them.
“We’re both busy, where in the world could we find the time to mess around?” Fang Wenna answered.
“It’s good that you’re busy. Let’s get down to business, do we announce the real owners of Crown International?”Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href=”#'s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/decision_51905259156586843”>#'s-wife-has-a-secret_14496266906619705/decision_51905259156586843</a> for visiting.
As always, An Qi Lu is also a very straightforward person. It is also possible that he still has some matters to the attend.
This man also has a lot on his plate but even if his plate is already overflowing, as long as the matter is about Xi Ana he would willingly left this plate for a while because she will always be on top of his priorities.
Even when they just met and he already knew about his feelings for Xi Ana, but because he loves her so much he is contented with what they currently have right now.
“I think that would be the best solution now. At first there is really no issue but our competitors are colluding with each other, with their constant meddling there are some investors who are swayed and has been pulling out.”
Xi Ana said as she pulled out some documents from her suitcase.”I managed to gather these things as soon as I’m done with the problem in my company. I already sent the soft copies on your e-mails so you can check them thoroughly. They were also organized according to the time they withdrew their investments and the amount of investments.”
These two things were the most important to them when analyzing these withdrawals, because these two things already tell so much about the attitudes of these people and companies with regards to the issue of Crown International.
Whether their decision was their personal opinion or they were only instigated by some malicious people, the fact that they already left will never be removed.
“Indeed, it is fine if only the small investors leave. Crown International does not necessarily need them but the other day one big investor left, even creating commotion inside the headquarters.” even though they weren’t physically there at the main office in England they have multiple eyes inside.
“They sure did a number on us. If we don’t give this back, what face will we have?” Fang Wenna commented with full of annoyance.
The issues this time not only affected the external factors of the company but as well as the internal. There are only few higher ups who really know their faces but those who does not dared to even sell out information which was then used by other people to whisper to some investors causing them to withdrew.
“What will we do with the employees who sold inside information? Li Jingli asked since this is something they cannot tolerate. Do they really think they are that indispensable to the company that they dared to act this way.
“Do we have enough people?” it was Xi Ana who posed this question.
From the screen, An Qi Lu was the one who answered. “We do.”
“Then I’m okay with firing them all at once, what do you think Wenna?” Xi Ana looked at Fang Wenna to seek for an answer.
“I also agree. There is no reason for them to stay anymore lest they create more trouble in the future. Furthermore, we are about to make ourselves known as the true owners of Crown International if we are too lenient to these employees then we are not living up to our names.”
That is also true, the three of them alone has different image in the public but they have one thing in common, they don’t easily spare those who had betrayed them and just recently Xi Ana made an example by directly firing multiple employees.
“Wenna is right. We already gave them the so many opportunities under the company yet they are easily swayed by more money, keeping them is like keeping an untamed lion by your side who will tear your flesh once it becomes hungry.”
With that sentence from An Qi Lu, the lives of those employees under Crown international is most likely over and surely they won’t be able to salvage their career using Crown International anymore. As for what comes after they were fired, they should know it better than anyone but if they still don’t know then they will soon know.
