Chapter 175 - THE PRESIDENT

The chairman raised his cup to his nose and allowed the scent go through his nostrils and he ġrȯȧnėd. "We need to talk."

Yuxi kept the tray aside and went to sit opposite the chairman.

"What is wrong?" The chairman asked. "You can tell me anything."

"Nothing is wrong,"

"Is it troubles from home?" When he read her resume he had wanted to ask if she loved the job but he couldn't because she had looked excited about it. She was an IT graduate. She should be monitoring and maintaining computer systems and networks of an organisation not here as an ȧssistant to an actor.

"I ȧssure you sir, I'm fine."

"You can tell us," Chu Feng went to sit on the couch close to hers. "We are worried, if there's something you need or something that is bothering you, you can always share it with us. That is why we are here."

Qiangshen rolled his eyes. More like you're here for personal interest.

"I had a headache last night, I bet it's the effect of it. Nothing more."

The chairman wasn't convinced but he smiled and nodded in understanding. There was a light knock on the door before it was pushed open.

Xiujun entered with his hands in his pockets and his ȧssistant behind him.

The ȧssistant bowed to the chairman and Qiangshen then walked up to Chu Feng to whisper something into his ear.

Chu Feng was startled, he made a quick move to drop his teacup and it happened to spill on his hand. He didn't have time for that as he rushed to go outside.

"Your hand..." Yuxi said after his departing figure.

"He's in a hurry, he will treat it later." He Jingtang smiled at Yuxi.

Qiangshen raised his teacup to his mouth and from the tip, he looked at the ȧssistant and then to Xiujun before his eyes settled on Yuxi.

She doesn't know and hasn't met him yet. The president. He was the only one that could shake Chu Feng's boat.

Chu Feng looked easy on the outside but he was one person you shouldn't mess with at All Stars Media.

Xiujun strode to the window and peeked outside while shielding his body from it. He saw Chu Feng bending over at a black car while nodding his head like an agama.

Xiujun after having his eyes fed went to occupy the seat Chu Feng had just stood up from.

"You don't look good," his statement was directed at Qiangshen.

Qiangshen dropped his tea. "Being awake for just four hours can make everyone read through me."

Xiujun smiled. "You cherish your skin and look just like me... So it's easy to see through us."

"Tsk tsk tsk." The chairman didn't want to be a part of thier conversation, but discovering that Xiujun was well aware of his own state made him want to scold him.

"I'll go get you tea, too." Yuxi said, stood up with the tray in her hand when she heard He Jingtang say.

"I hope you didn't forget his favourite." 

Yuxi had the urge to eye roll but she flashed him a smile instead. "Sure."Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click <a href="#&apos;s-love_13372375705587405/the-president_51430690486539386">#&apos;s-love_13372375705587405/the-president_51430690486539386</a> for visiting.

Jingtang raised his head from his ŀȧptop to return her smile.

Soon Chu Feng returned, he looked like he was truly going to give up at life.

"Du Xiujun, is there something I need to know?" He sat on another couch close to Xiujun.

Xiujun legs were crossed and his hands twined. "No,"

"No?" Chu Feng facepalmed. "Did you visit the president or he visited you?"

He Jingtang frowned. "What will you do with that information?"

"Shut up you swine," Chu Feng's eyes were shooting daggers at the young man. "Why does it look like you were the one that had called him over?"

"He must have been bored so he decided to come visit me." Xiujun yawned lazily. "I was caught off guard. Jingtang had helped me while away time till I was ready to meet him."

"Oh my, oh my poor mother. She would die from heartache if she finds out I died from worry and not planning on having children like she wants instead."

A chortle escaped Qiangshen's throat but he hid his face with his teacup.

If only eyes could kill, he would be a roasted pig from Chu Feng's eyes.

"Is either you tell me what the problem is or await the news of my death."

Xiujun smirked. "You won't be able to solve it." He stood up and went outside.

Chu Feng relaxed into his couch. "I'll just have fun and await my time."

Qiangshen at least had a reason to smile now, since thinking about Yuxi brought him sadness.

Outside, there was a small crowd so Xiujun went to have a look.

He received another shock of his life, just like when he had heard car entering his private house and peeked through the window to see the president. His mouth fell open but the shock didn't last as he realized he was in a very bad state. He cleared his room that was filled with empty bottles of alcohol, rushed to the small refrigerator in his room to take out a hangover pill.

He popped more than needed into his mouth and went to have a quick bath.

Xiujun returned to his room, took out his mint mouth freshener and sprayed in his mouth before rushing out to go meet the man.

He thought he would weak by the man's icy glare as he came to stand close.

"Why has your phone been turned off?" The woman standing beside him asked.

"It must have run out of battery..."

"For more than a week," the man was impatient.

He would be able to suck up to the woman but certainly not the man. He looked at her for help.

"You don't look good, have you been sick?" She asked. She understood him more than he understood himself. 

"Yes, and I was busy..."

"A perfect lie for gullible people like her," the man took long strides towards him and Xiujun couldn't help but recoil.

The man angrily held his chin up to look him dead in the eye.

"You better pull yourself together, or else I'll have to help you do that." He let go of him forcefully, went to his opened car then turned to say his final statement.

"Let's go, I heard Chu Feng is back."

The woman sat at the front and he sat together with the president at the back while He Jingtang drove their own car at a pace matching the president's car until they got here.

The drive to their drama location was quiet and felt like it would take eternity to get here.

Ru Fangxi, Yin Anhao, Deng Yue alongside their ȧssistants stood beside Xiao Shiya.

She happened to look up at that very moment and theirs locked. He swallowed and his hands unconsciously balled. He turned to leave.

"Xiujun,"

Xiujun halted and refused to turn. He could tell she was walking up to him as he heard steps and then her perfume found its way to his nose.

"Long time."

"You two know each other?" Fangxi walked up to them smiling.

"They had lived in the same estate when they were young, so why are you surprised?" It was Deng Yue that walked up to them this time.

He turned and smiled at her. "How have you been?"

"Good, you?"

Good? Good. She was good. He had a hard time believing that.

"Not bad," not good either. "If you will excuse me I looking for someone."

He didn't wait for her to say anything else and left them.

Shiya shrugged it off.

Meanwhile Xueyan had watched everything that just transpired.

She folded her hands as she smiled. She released her hands that were folded on her ċhėst and came out to meet the group.

Shiya coming here was to look for her.

Fangxi frowned. Anhao rolled her eyes. "Here she comes, that pesky fly."

Shiya straightened as Xueyan got close. She examined her.

Xueyan was wearing a black knee length dress, with a big bow at the waist side and a pair of black heels.

Her necklace was so tiny with a crystal pendant. And then she was wearing a light makeup and lipgloss.

She looked so ordinary, but she was still able to capture his heart.

"Seems like I have a visitor." Xueyan smirked. Her hands were folded in her ċhėst.

Xiao Shiya had just discovered that Xueyan and Zhaolin had shared a room, a very long time ago when they first met. And the next morning he had one of the hotel workers send dozens of clothes to her.

The clothes weren't her worry but the fact they shared a room bothered her to death.

Shiya unconsciously looked down at Xueyan's stomach...
