Chapter 201: Chase After a Butterfly
Chapter 201: Chase After a Butterfly
"That's me." Choi Yeon Jun had his tone sloping like a melody. He guessed the voice that was used under the curtain must have been a fake voice, the voice of his subordinates and not of the real person.
'So secretive and a coward.' Choi Yeon Jun chuckled to his own thoughts and took a sip from his tea.
"I apologize for coming here suddenly and the sudden request to meet you." The person spoke again.
"That's no problem. I do love talking but at the moment I don't enjoy you using your fake voice, speak what you have and leave if you don't have anything." his gentle voice brought only more eerieness to his words.
"I apologize if this offends or bothers you, however, due to the dangerous deal I am about to offer, I have to do this to protect myself." The person seemed to have prepared the reply before him asking and it had Choi Yeon Jun to giggle coldly at how amusing the person behind the curtain was.
"Not only a secretive, a coward, but also a sly one, I see." The men of the person behind the curtain frowned. He had a very large body frame, even larger than Zheng Xi Shi. Offended by Choi Yeon Jun's words, he pulled up his knife under his suit and felt his hand to twist suddenly.
"I would advise you to stop there." Zheng Xi Shi stated. His one hand was twisting the man's wrist until it gave a shattering sound and held the sharp part of the blade to have his blood running over to his wrist.
"Hyung!" Zheng Xi Shi's subordinate called up in worry and saw Chengye's hand stopping him. "He's both masochistic and sadistic you see, that small wound wouldn't stop him. Instead, he's enjoying it."
The subordinate stand down from Chengye's mockery but had his eyes in detest to the person who harmed Zheng Xi Shi.
"I apologize, it seems that one is still new but I will make sure to teach him a lesson." The person behind the curtain apologized.
"You ought to teach your subordinates your place, Mr. Anonyomous." He crossed his legs and leaned to the back. "Rather than you apologizing continuously, I would like it if you could state your offer now." He gave his ordering tone to the man in the curtain.
"Have you heard about the new successor of the underworld head in China, Mr. Choi?" He began his case, reading Choi Yeon Jun's unbreakable amused expression.
"The new successor. Of course, I have heard him before. Instead, I knew him very well." He sang out his answer, a curling smile twisted his lips.
"Our Group can't acknowledge him as the next successor, but the previous head seems to be very fond of him. Now that they are weak after because of his accession, we would want to ask your hand to drag him."
"Drag him?" he pointed out his tone. "And what do you have to offer for me? What I could only hear is your merits, what would I gain from helping you?"
"More than a quarter of power to our Group in China." The man behind the curtain offered.
Choi Yeon Jun's swept his eyes and gave a long pause of silence. "I don't really have any interest in those. To make war, that still isn't enough for me." The man behind the curtain frowned at him turning down their offer.
"Many people would want this offer, Mr. Choi and even I think this offer is large enough." He desperately hooked, trying to find out what could make Choi Yeon Jun interested in their offer.
"Surely it is a lot, but I don't care about my power. I have plenty of them here in Korea, you see." he chuckled, "But I do have someone that I would more than love to have in my hand. Let's see, if you could give me this person, I would not mind working with you."
"Of course!" A hopeful tone jumped off from the curtain. "I promise I would hand over this person you mention, Mr. Choi as long as you agree."
Choi Yeon Jun sipped to his tea and stood up from his seat. "Alright, it's a pleasure working with you." His tone darkened as he left the place. As they walked out of the place before entering the car, Choi Yeon Jun turned his face to Chengye and Zheng Xi Shi.
"It's an order. We will be going out to war. Last time, you made a very large mistake make sure you will never have one in your second chance."
"Yes, sir." They gave a salute and closed the door to Choi Yeon Jun's car to see him leaving the place.
The night closed its curtain and the moon who have seen everything looked down at the people entertained in a twisted fate with its silver light.
The next afternoon in China, Xiao Yun had her day started by stopping at her Azure. She returned the adorable and bright greetings from the two receptionists and walked to the meeting room to see Chuan Huan Jing and Zi Gong sitting in the same table minding their own works.
"Good morning, you two." She called to have their attention away from their works.
"Boss!" The two shouted out, stand, and gave a formal bow.
Xiao Yun waved her hand down, hinting them to take a seat as she sat down. "I told you two don't be stiff, didn't I? Zi Gong, how is the proposal?" She asked.
Zi Gong pulled two folders from his table and passed it to Xiao Yun, explaining, "I have sent the copy of these two proposals to both shopping malls and have received the answer from the two shopping malls, saying that they would be waiting to meet us for a discussion."
Xiao Yun hummed and scanned over the documents. Zi Gong waited for her words with a nervous expression to see Xiao Yun's poker face staying straight to read the proposal keenly.
The proposal was written neatly, showing the credibility, and confidence of the documents. "I can't expect more from my subordinates, can't I? This is a very fine proposal, good job."
Zi Gong had proudness jumping in and out of his face. "Thank you very much for the praises, boss."
Xiao Yun looked at his face and giggled, "I'm not overpraising, if my father sees this he would definitely want to hire you."
"I will never step out from your side, boss. I will definitely follow you to the end of the world!" Zi Gong suddenly swore an oath.
"Me too!" Chuan Huan Jing raised his hand.
Xiao Yun looked at their silly attitude and didn't take their words deeper. She waved her hand. "Silly, what would you be doing if you follow me to the end of the world? I can also make mistakes and if I did, I will never blame you guys for leaving me," she replied wisely.
"No!" Zi Gong and Chuan Huan Jing shook their heads. "Even if the boss did mistakes or pursue mistakes we will follow you!"
"You guys are very silly." Xiao Yun chuckled, "If I make mistakes, I will leave you two to correct me. When that time comes, don't ever hold back and scold me." she stood up, missing the astonishment and pride beaming off her two subordinates.
Her words were wise than any bosses they met, she was confident and never forget to praise or warn his subordinates. Rather than looking at them as pawns, she looked at each of them as the person they are on their own. What even more amazing to their eyes were was that she didn't do this to only them but to all the employees under her company.
She was the perfect boss anyone could ever ask for.
"Are you two free now?" Xiao Yun stood up and took her bag.
"Yes." The two reflexively stood up.
"Huan Jing, you will be working here and Zi Gong, come with me. We will go to the shopping mall now."
"Yes, boss." Zi Gong trotted to follow her. She walked to exit the door where Tian Yi and Hi Gu Yan were standing at and spoke out. "Hi Gu Yan, we will be going here. Prepare the car."
"Boss, CEO Wang left you a message."
Xiao Yun rose her brow and tilted her head, thinking why didn't Wang Li Lei directly message her. "What message?"
"He suddenly has an urgent work and would be leaving the country. He will be leaving for a couple of days." Hi Gu Yan relayed the message he received from his senior, Jang Hyun.
"Which country?" Xiao Yun curiously asked.
"Japan."
Xiao Yun puffed her cheeks in a little disappointed that she would be not seeing him for quite a long day but she understood his busy schedule and hummed in understanding. "Alright. Let's go now."
"To Japan?" Tian Yi popped his head from the side and asked in his silly tone.
Xiao Yun wrinkled her nose and sighed. "To the shopping mall, Tian Yi." The Samoyed Puppy laughed at himself and straightened his back.
Zi Gong who was at first surprised and taken aback by Tian Yi's large figure but after seeing his clumsy attitude, concluded the man to have a strong build but a rather empty mind. The type who would either doze off in the middle of the afternoon or chase after a butterfly.
