Chapter 22: Getting Angry
Ji Group headquarters building.
The air pressure in the president's office was low, and the temperature around the man sitting in the main seat dropped to freezing point.
"Bang." A document flew into the trash can. Because the force was so great, the trash can was knocked over and the waste paper inside was scattered all over the floor.
Several executives on the opposite side were so frightened that they trembled, and their already hanging hearts finally died.
Ji Yanxing leaned back in his chair, pinching his brows with two fingers, and said in a light tone: "You gave me this plan in a week? Did you really get to your current position by relying on your brainpower?"
Hearing this, several executives broke out in cold sweat and bowed to admit their mistakes: "I'm sorry, President Ji, we will change it right away and will definitely come up with a solution that satisfies you."
Ji Yanxing felt a headache and ran out of patience: "Go out."
Several executives walked out of the office without stopping for a moment and ran into Li Ming who was delivering documents.
I couldn't help but ask, "Assistant Li, what happened to President Ji today? He was so angry."
Ji Yanxing's temper wasn't bad, and he was relatively gentle towards his subordinates, but his mouth was really vicious. The words he said with a gentle smile could make people feel so ashamed that they wanted to go back to the womb and abort themselves.
Li Ming sighed: "I don't know. He came to the company early in the morning with an impatient expression. Maybe he was tired from the business trip recently."
This is what he said to others, but what Li Ming was thinking in his heart was: He must have had a quarrel with his wife. In the past, his work was more intense than this, but I had never seen President Ji so irritable.
The three executives gave Li Ming a sympathetic look and said, "Take care."
Serving the king is like serving a tiger. This saying also applies to the workplace.
Li Ming walked in with a fearless attitude and saw the overturned trash can at first sight.
With professional ethics, he walked around the trash can and looked at Ji Yanxing who was staring at the computer screen. He reported calmly: "Boss Ji, the government has approved the land in City Y. Once the marketing department has done a risk assessment, we can start construction. Regarding the cooperation between Ji's and Ouyang's family, will you go to the United States in person to discuss it, or will you arrange for the vice president to go?"
Ji Yanxing stared at the black laptop screen, then raised his eyelids and looked at Li Ming.
Li Ming's body stiffened and he could hardly maintain the smile on his face.
"Your cell phone." Ji Yanxing said lightly.
Li Ming took out his cell phone from his pocket and handed it over.
Ji Yanxing opened a document, picked up a pen and signed, "Call her."
Li Ming paused: "Who?"
The sharp pen tip left a mark on the paper. Ji Yanxing looked up from the documents and looked at him indifferently.
Li Ming: “…”
Li Ming immediately searched for Yu Nian's phone number in the address book. After finding it, with Ji Yanxing's consent, he called her.
Just before he pressed the button, he heard Ji Yanxing say calmly, "Tell her I'm going to the United States on a business trip for three months."
Li Ming's fingers paused: "Ah?"
Where did the plan to go on a three-month business trip to the United States come from?
Even if we go to the United States to discuss cooperation, it will be completed in three days if everything goes well, and it will take at most a week if things don’t go well.
Where did the three months come from!
Ji Yanxing looked at him expressionlessly: "Hit him."
Li Ming: “…”
Li Ming succumbed to the power and called anyway. Yu Nian answered the call after a few seconds and Li Ming turned on the speakerphone.
"Hello?" A soft and pleasant female voice came from the microphone.
Under someone's surveillance, Li Ming coughed lightly and said, "Madam? I'm Mr. Ji's assistant, Li Ming."
Yu Nian: "What's the matter?"
Li Ming closed his eyes and said, "Boss Ji is going on a business trip to the United States."
"oh."
Li Ming glanced at Ji Yanxing and continued, "It will take three months."
There was silence for a second, "I see, anything else?"
Li Ming questioned Ji Yanxing with his eyes, but the latter did not move at all, but his eyes and brows became increasingly gloomy.
"!!!"
Li Ming had no choice but to continue to talk nonsense: "Madam, Mr. Ji has flown to three countries in the past half month, sleeping less than six hours a day, doing high-intensity mental work, he is really tired! He is going on a business trip to the United States today, and he will be away for three months. It is really too hard!"
Yu Nian felt confused: "Assistant Li, what do you want to say?"
"..." Li Ming lowered his head in frustration, "Nothing, Madam, you are busy."
Yu Nian hung up the phone.
Li Ming looked directly into Ji Yanxing's eyes, "Mr. Ji..."
Ji Yanxing said coldly: "Get out."
"..." Li Ming didn't leave immediately, "Mr. Ji, if you are unhappy because of the quarrel with your wife, I want to say one more thing-"
Ji Yanxing raised his eyelids, his brows and eyes were cold and lonely.
Seeing that he did not object, Li Ming quickly said, "I think it is better for couples to make things clear. If they are suspicious of each other, it will easily wear down their relationship."
Especially for a married couple like you who have no feelings for each other.
Ji Yanxing's eyes fell on the laptop screen, wondering if he was listening to him.
Li Ming stopped there and said nothing more, then left the office with the documents in his arms.
-
Yu Nian received a call from Li Ming for no apparent reason, and what Li Mingyuan said was also inexplicable. Yu Nian put down the phone in confusion and was about to find He Bai to go to the court together when his phone suddenly rang again.
It was a friend she asked to help investigate Chen Xi's case last night.
"Niannian, I checked for you, but I can't find out who is behind Meng Ziyun, but have you heard of Lu Yan? I heard someone say that they saw her getting out of Lu Yan's car before."
Lu Yan.
Yu Nian thought about how Ji Yanxing took her to meet his friend some time ago, and that Lu Yan was his childhood friend.
But, isn’t Lu Yan’s girlfriend called Wen Yan?
Could it be a friend?
Is Meng Ziyun in their circle?
Yu Nian was filled with thoughts. "Okay, I understand. Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Nian thought for a moment, sent a message to Chen Xi, and took the documents to the partner's office.
“Boom boom boom.”
A few seconds later, a deep male voice sounded in the office: "Come in."
Yu Nian walked into the office and said, "Mr. He, we can leave now."
He Bai looked up from the documents, his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses indifferent, "Let's go."
Pre-trial mediation is a necessary procedure for divorce cases. The client of the case is Wang Bing, the boss of a listed company, and his request is to divorce his original wife Bai Jing.
The two met when they were young, and went from having nothing to becoming wealthy and prosperous. They shared the hardships but not the happiness, and now they are at loggerheads in court.
The most peculiar thing about this case is that, generally speaking, a divorce lawsuit indicates that the relationship between a couple has broken down, and the focus of the dispute is the division of property. However, Wang Bing still had a conscience, as he wrote in the divorce agreement that he agreed to give half of his property to Bai Jing.
Although this is just a normal operation and cannot be considered conscientious, Yu Nian has been in this business for a year and has become accustomed to the fickleness of human nature. There are many cases where parties transfer their property abroad, and some are even more cruel and can leave the other party with nothing.
Wang Bing's only request was a divorce. When communicating with He Bai, he made it clear that as long as Bai Jing agreed to the divorce, he could give her one-third of his property as compensation.
But Bai Jing refused to give in and was unwilling to divorce.
