Two-faced: Doting Husband & Shameless Wife - Chapter 134

Ling Yue came out from Xi Jian’s office with a minimum sound. Bai Xu and Gan Ji who were outside the door looked at Ling Yue, wondering why their lady boss looked suspicious.

“Xi Jian fell asleep.” she told them.

“I see. It can’t be helped. Master Xi hasn’t slept much in these days.” Bai Xu gave a small smile. “Then excuse me too, Ma’am. I will take care of a few things before Master wakes up. Mr. Gan Ji, please take the lady home safely.”

“Wait!” Ling Yue held back Bai Xu’s arm. Bai Xu looked at Ling Yue with a questioning look. “Uhm … is there anything I can help? Whatever it is?”

Bai Xu looked thoughtful. He gazed at Ling Yue hesitantly. “Actually, Ma’am there is one thing, I once said this to Master but he refused it …”

Ling Yue stared at Bai Xu’s silence, as if he had not found the right words to convey to her. If Bai Xu thought she can help, why should Xi Jian refuse it?

“Say it, what is it?”

“That … is it possible for Ling Inc. lending a hand?” Bai Xu said with a little embarrassment.

Ling Yue and Bai Xu sat side by side in the conference room. Bai Xu laid out a number of things.

“Master Xi does not want to involve Ling Inc. in this matter and is still looking for partners because the risks are enormous.”

Ling Yue waited a while before the telephone was connected. “Ah Sheng, are you busy?”

“Not really, what’s up?”

“Could you help me?” Ling Yue explained what she heard from Bai Xu. Seeing Ling Yue silent for a long time, Bai Xu felt like he wanted to put his ear next to Ling Yue’s phone. “Okay.”

Ling Yue turned off her phone. “Mr. Bai …”

“Yes, Ma’am!”

“Can you connect my video call on that screen?” Ling Yue pointed at the large screen in front of the conference table. Bai Xu immediately connected the device. He flinched slightly when he saw Ling Huansheng’s face appear on the big screen.

“Tell me about the trading plan.” he said after they were connected.

Bai Xu cleared his throat to reduce his sudden nervousness. He never felt chills like this when presenting their plans. He had unauthorizedly discussed the company’s plans with potential investors who were refused by Xi Jian, but Bai Xu wanted King Empire to improve as soon as possible. He released all the details of what King Empire needed and what profits Ling Inc. would get. Ling Yue watched as the two exchanged arguments.

“Hey, YueYue!” Ling Huansheng suddenly calling her.

“So how?”

“Even though I don’t want to admit it, it’s a good trading plan. The profit is worth the risk …”

Bai Xu let out the breath he was holding earlier.

“But…”

“But what?”

“If I take it, Ling Inc.’s shares will be clearly visible there and I’m sure my management will be noisy.”

Bai Xu’s shoulders dropped. Making a famous companies such as Ling Inc. work together at a time like this was the fastest step for the King Empire. However that also made King Empire as though piggybacking at Ling Inc’s power and that would make Ling Inc.’s name itself not look good. Big risk with a tainted name, that’s why his boss didn’t want to involve Ling Inc.

“So you can’t help?” Ling Yue sounded sulking.

“Yep. I’m sure, if that person really wants Ling Inc’s help, he himself will come to me but he’s not. That means he doesn’t want Ling Inc to interfere in it.”

Ling Huansheng followed King Empire development lately. He saw how that company ruined by its own. Ling Inc’s directors and management were on standby and ready to take over King Empire position. But despite being battered, Ling Huansheng acknowledged Xi Jian’s greatness for returning King Empire’s power, little by little. He really deserved to be called the king of the king.

“Do you have any advice?” Ling Yue propped her head in hand.

“I as a Ling Inc’s CEO can’t help. But you can.” Ling Huansheng’s words made Ling Yue and Bai Xu sit up straight.

“How?”

“I know you got a lot of profit when you work in the western, right?” Ling Huansheng raised an eyebrow.

“Uhmm yeah …” Ling Yue did have a lot of money from her previous work. Besides the company, her clients were also loyal on her.

“Use it. I’ll lend my personal money if it’s still lacking. I’ll help you manage it.”

Ling Huansheng ended their video call and smiled. If Ling Yue really borrow his money, he made sure that person would owe him. Ling Huansheng was willing to bet, if everything went according to his expectations, then the King Empire would quickly return to his position. He had to admit, that even though he was in a bad condition, Xi Jian was a good role model. But he wouldn’t say it till death.

Ling Huansheng leaned his head and turned his chair, his gaze fixed on the sky. “Ahh, that’s a pity, it’s really a very good master plan…” He sighed.

Ling Yue stared at Bai Xu who looked blank.

“Mr. Bai! Let’s do that!”

Bai Xu could more or less understand Ling Huansheng’s intentions. He helped Ling Yue arranged number of things. Gan Ji also helped occasionally. Suddenly Ling Yue’s stomach growled.

Ling Yue smiled shyly. Bai Xu as if understanding, took out his phone, called the restaurant and ordered the food Ling Yue mentioned.
