Xi Chenxiao watched Su Jin run away and then returned to the study. He hadn’t settled the business matter yet. He had stopped the discussions when his subordinates told him that Su Jin was in danger. He asked Xi Tian to get him on the earliest possible flight so he could come home and recue his girl.
Xi Chenxiao was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid that just as he fell in love with his girl, something bad happened to her before he could properly profess his love for her. Xi Chenxiao would never forgive himself if that happened. So, he rushed home so that his girl would not face any danger by herself.
After Xi Chenxiao turned on his laptop, he immediately got into a video conference with Xi Shi and the executives of the subsidiary. After all, problem at the subsidiary hadn’t been resolved yet. Xi Shi was very unhappy at Xi Chenxiao’s sudden trip home to help Su Jin, so he asked just as the video conference began,
“Chairman, we really need you here now. When are you coming back?”
In Xi Shi’s opinion, when a good-for-nothing Su Jin was kidnapped, it must be because she had done something wrong at school. Otherwise, who would bother with such a good-for-nothing? Now the chairman had run home and they would lose a large contract!
The business partner was already difficult to deal with. They had finally agreed on the terms and were about to sign the contract, but the chairman left. When the business partner saw that, they concluded that the chairman did not respect them and asked for his apology if they were to continue their collaboration!
Xi Chenxiao was very unhappy when he heard Xi Shi’s words. Why couldn’t the business meeting continue without him? If all the subsidiaries were like this, he wouldn’t have time to sleep at all. Xi Chenxiao replied coldly,
“If I have to be involved in everything, what’s the point of having you guys?”
When Xi Shi and the subsidiary executives heard this, they could feel the cold aura emanating from Xi Chenxiao through the screen. They instantly felt ashamed as they sat up straight and said softly,
“Sorry, Chairman.”
Xi Chenxiao looked coldly at the executives on the video conference. He wanted to continue scolding them, but his phone beeped. He took it out and saw that it was a message from hacker SU. His cold aura instantly disappeared as he said,
“Meeting adjourned.”
Without waiting for Xi Shi’s reaction, Xi Chenxiao left the video conference. Nothing was more important than his girl. In the meeting room at the subsidiary office, Xi Shi and the others came back to their senses after Xi Chenxiao left the video conference. Everyone started discussing the chairman.
“The chairman used to be a workaholic. What happened to him?”
“That’s right. Did the chairman who always worked hard disappear?”
Although no one said anything, they were all thinking in their hearts. In the past, not only did Xi Chenxiao work overtime every day, but he also asked everyone else to work overtime. He did not give them any time to rest. But now, he did not work overtime anymore, and even missed work sometimes. What happened exactly? Could he have been lured away by a demon?
Xi Chenxiao did not care about what others thought. He looked at the message Su Jin sent him using her hacker identity. He smiled slightly and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes. The blood in his body seemed to be boiling as he read the message,
“My dear disciple, master has a relationship question to ask. Is it okay?”
Xi Chenxiao’s smile deepened when he saw this question. He did not know what his girl was trying to do by asking him this using a different identity but since this happened, he wanted to see what Su Jin was up to. Xi Chenxiao replied,
“Sure, ask away!”
Su Jin was hesitant when she saw Xi Chenxiao’s reply. Her question might be a little silly, but fortunately, Xi Chenxiao still did not know her hacker identity, so Su Jin typed,
“It’s like this. You suddenly told your wife that you like her and then asked her if she likes you, so here’s the question – do you really like her? Also, how do you want her to answer?”
After Su Jin sent the message, her heartbeat accelerated as she looked at the screen expectantly. When Xi Chenxiao saw this message, he could not hide his smile anymore. He did not expect his girl to ask this. Could she be testing him? He immediately typed his reply,
“Master, shouldn’t you be giving me proper lessons? I’ve already finished my homework. Besides, why do you suddenly have such questions?”
