Chapter 78 - Dream Star Corporation’s Financial Manager

*********

CHAPTER 78

Li Xiu who was out to make Li Jing beg on her knees, ended up humiliating herself again.

"You are just bluffing. How can you of all people, a wretched rat, be the financial manager of the Dream Star Corporation?"

"I don't need you to believe but beware."

"I said it. She is just jesting. She does not want to look like a fool, that is why she is lying. You are a two faced, dog, outright liar, Li Jing."

Li Jing knew her claim right now did not hold so much solid ground without proof but she decided to fight for her self esteem. She have had enough of these words and she want a way out now.

Now to think of, even her boss, Ye Cheng did not know about her new resolution. Wait, speaking of Ye Cheng, where did he go?

Li Jing turned her head to the side where he was standing prior but she could not find him.

'Dang! Did he leave me because he felt I had embarrassed him by engaging in this tongue war with Li Xiu? Dammit! Well, thank God he isn't here. I can retract my words, he wouldn't even know.' Li Jing thought to herself.

"I wonder who you slept with to get your useless ass to that kind of position? Or just how many men you actually fucked?"

SWOOSH! SLAP!

A hot slap reverberated in the entire down floor, completely turning the whole environment quiet as everyone's eyes and attention were fixed on the two ladies.

"Li Jing! How dare you this filthy whore slap me," Li Xiu cursed as she raised her hand ready to slap Li Jing.

SLAP!

"Say my name one more time and I would not hesitate to give another slap on your face."

"How dare you?!"

"Move aside."

"Step aside. It is the CEO of Dream Star Corporation's bodyguards," one the customers shouted, puling everyone's attention away from the ladies.

"Good, now we would know who is lying and who is not," one of the ladies watching the scene said to another woman.

The customers paved way and five men dressed in black suit walked in and moved towards the crowd. Then they made way to where Li Jing was, they stopped and bowed down in front of her.

"Miss Li, the master is waiting for you, outside," one of the gentlemen said as they raised their head.

Hearing the words, Li Xiu stepped forward and bumped into Li Jing, making her stagger before she could balance herself.

She had actually thought that they were men that Duan Tian sent to fetch her and the people had mistaken them for Ye Cheng's men just because Li Jing mentioned his company's name.

Unknown to her, her current action had stunned everyone present, including Li Jing.

"I am sorry, Miss. Who are you?"

Boom!

'I AM SORRY, MISS. WHO ARE YOU?' The words kept on replaying in Li Xiu's ears over and over again as her brain try to swallow and contain this embarrassment.

"Are you Miss Li …"

"Miss Li Jing."

All heads turned to the direction where the men came from and at that moment, several gasp could be heard all around Li Jing and Li Xiu.

Li Jing who was curious by the impromptu change in voice and what was happening, stretched her neck to see what was going on.

She needn't do that for long because the five men split into two groups and stepped aside with their heads slightly bowed as Ye Cheng's head bodyguard walked passed them to where Li Jing stood.

"Oh my goodness. That is…"

"The CEO of Dream Star Corporation, Ye Cheng's head bodyguard."

"He is so handsome."

"If the bodyguard is this cute, how would the master be like?"

"To think that they came for her, now we know who was telling the truth."

"Miss Li Jing, please shall we go?"

Up until now, Li Jing has been speechless about the whole situation. Everything still feel like a shock to her.

Just where did these bodyguards come from? Where they really Ye Cheng's men? If so, just where did he run off to?

It was when the head body guard repeated his sentence again that Li Jing actually broke out of here trance.

"Miss Li? The master is waiting."

"Yes, sorry about that. I was thinking about something."

The head bodyguard smiled at her before stepping to the side and bowing his head slightly, waiting for her to pass.

Without a second glance to her sister, Li Jing walked out of the shop, forgetting the gift that brought her there and leaving a fully stunned Li Xiu behind.

She did not stop walking neither did she speak to any of them till she found herself in front of Ye Cheng's car and the passenger's seat was opened for her to go in.

The minute she sat down, one of the bodyguard's entered the driver's seat and started the car.

At the same time, Ye Cheng turned his head to his left hand side so he could look at her face.

"You!" Li Jing spat the words at him.

His eyes widened at her unspoken accusation. "Me?"

"Yes, you. Why did you leave me behind?"

"I did not leave you. I only left to help you out with your claim."

"Huh?"

"You did not think just merely saying it would make people believe you, did you now?" Li Jing kept quiet rather than responding to his question.

The honest truth was that she never thought about it beforehand, if not, she would never had opened her mouth to say it.

It was just in the spur of the moment and she wanted to make her sister feel bad and that she was as worthless as she called others, if not worse.

Unfortunately, Liu Xiu had exaggerated the whole issue.

"I hope you know with your claim, you already gave me an answer and there is no going back on your words?"

Gulp!

"You are now, Dream Star Corporation's very own Financial Manager."
