Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Grandpa is blind, it’s none of your business!
Chaos reigned within Chi Group, and the secretary rushed in uneasily to ask, “President Chi, a lot of journalists are gathered outside the company, and many media outlets are calling to schedule an interview with you. What shall we do?”
Chi Jianguo violently swept all the files from his office desk onto the ground, his complexion ashen, as he gasped for breath and said, “Don’t see them, block them all!”
The secretary, too apprehensive to breathe loudly, reminded him in a low voice, “But President Chi, the journalists are waiting outside. You surely can’t just not go out, right?”
“The Directors have also called, demanding that you quell the situation as soon as possible, or else they will call a shareholders’ meeting…” The secretary paused before dropping another bombshell, “The stock administration also said that given the company’s financial performance over the past two days, they will reassess the company’s market value and reevaluate its qualifications for being listed.”
Chi Jianguo suddenly slumped into his swivel chair, looking despondent, as if he had aged several years in an instant. He held his forehead with his left hand, then suddenly asked, “How bad is the public opinion outside?”
“Some have already started to dig into your private life from twenty years ago…”
Chi Jianguo’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and the immense pressure and panic bore down on him.
He gritted his teeth and muttered, “This ungrateful girl!”
The secretary, not knowing who he was referring to, looked down at his nose without a word.
…
A dark cloud hung over Chi Corporation.
However, Chi Enen’s health was improving day by day.
Whether it was deliberate by Li Beijue or not, none of the storm outside reached the Hospital, and she hadn’t heard even a whisper of gossip.
Every day, she spent time only with Baby Chi.
Baby Chi seemed to know she was in a bad mood and would constantly come up with fun jokes to make her laugh. Unbelievably adorable.
It was just that Li Beijue was rarely seen these days, as if he was very busy.
That afternoon.
Just after Baby Chi was taken away by Huo Yi, the man she hadn’t seen for several days appeared in the ward.
A simple thin sweater and black pants gave him an indescribable aristocratic air; broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs even more striking than the models on the T stage!
“Feeling better?”
Chi Enen’s eyes crinkled with her smile, “Much better.”
Li Beijue walked up to her and suddenly reached out, roughly pulling at her cheeks, his falcon-like eyes not exactly pleased as he said, “If you don’t want to smile, then don’t smile. You weren’t pretty to begin with, and smiling just makes you look even uglier.”
Damn!
Does he even know how to speak?
“Ugly and you still like it!” Chi Enen retorted, clearly annoyed.
“I must be blind, what’s it to you!” Li Beijue didn’t care what she was thinking; he bent down and reached out to pick her up from the sickbed.
“Ah.” Chi Enen was suddenly lifted into the air, which gave her a start, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, “Li Beijue, where are you taking me?”
“Well, it’s not to throw you overseas to mine coal.”
“…” Nevermind, she thought better of asking.
The man’s chest was strong and solid, holding her in a princess carry, and she could hear his strong and dominant heartbeat. Thump, thump, thump, one after another.
His unique scent of agarwood mixed with mint wrapped around her, and Chi Enen’s heart gradually settled.
This man was Li Beijue, and she trusted that he wouldn’t do anything to harm her.
Chi Enen blinked her bright eyes, tightening the arms around his neck just a little.
Damn it, this woman was seducing him again!
Li Beijue suppressed the agitation in his heart, refusing to admit that, in his eyes, other women getting close to him was flirting, but any move from Chi Enen was seduction!
