Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 141 - Steal A File

**********

CHAPTER 141

Later that week, things seemed to have gone peacefully for everybody and while that was at play, Li Xiu thought of ways to help Duan Tian get some investors back and their company running.

She was in her office breezing through some files when her assistant came in.

Hao Zhi Ruo had come to inform her of a visitor and met Li Xiu going through some odd documents but she tried her best not to think too much about it.

"Oh, let him in then." Li Xiu replied and returned her gaze back to the task at hand.

Hao Zhi Ruo who was all but shocked at her seriously her boss was working and could not help praising her in her mind.

If only she was this serious before with her work and responsibilities, just maybe they would not have lost Li Jing’s work and their business would have gone far.

She did watch the news, so she knew that Li Jing was already doing well just by working for Ye Cheng. It was much better than the hell the young lady had to face.

Even though she was Li Xiu’s assistant and did her bidding, she did not like the treatment Li Jing got but who was she to complain?

"Yes, ma’am." Taking a turn, Hao Zhi Ruo controlled her thought and went away, ushering the visitor in.

A tall and lanky looking man entered the office and greeted Li Xiu. All this time she had been so focused on what she was searching for that her mind did not want to think r see anyone but hearing his voice just now, Li Xiu felt a sense of relief wash over her and she looked at him.

"Welcome, Ser. Please have a seat." Li Xiu stretched her fingers forward, gesturing to the chair in her front, so he could make himself comfortable.

"Thanks," he thanked her and then sat down gently.

’What a gentleman for the rubbish he is doing.’ Li Xiu thought to herself.

"Yes, you sent for me."

"Yes, Ser. Please do relax a bit and I would brief you on your work."

"That would take time. No time for formalities. Let us get to business. Tick tock, time is of the essence Miss Li."

Just hearing him talk that way, Li Xiu could not help the thoughts running through her mind. He was so polite and calm, that if not that she got first hand info about him, she may never had tried him out and would think of him as a failure.

"Sure, then. Time really is of the essence," Li Xiu repeated absentmindedly.

"I am glad we are on the same page." His words had snapped her back to reality and she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Sure. Okay, what I want to say is simple. Ser, I need you to recover a lost document from the original owner and give it to me."

"Really, that all?" Ser looked more confused than he was perplexed at her request.

Usually, when people came to him, to request a job done, there was always something more and never was it so simple.

So when Li Xiu had mentioned what she wanted, he knew that she was right for the work as a client.

"Yes. That is all there is. In turn, I would send you the initial payment and add the other when the work is done."

"Alright, no worries. Now, what am I stealing?"

"Simple, I need you to steal a marketing slide from Li Jing, Dream Star Corporation.

"That would be hard." Ser protested.

"Nothing good comes easy. I would be paying you well." Li Xiu quickly countered his speech before he had time to query her.

"You do not have to tell me that, Miss Li. I know that all too well. What I would do, would be to get it from her at home. You know, not just anyone enters into the building as they with. Relax, she would come."

Getting the needed assurance, Li Xiu backed off from the business dealer and smiled mischievously to herself.

With the words finally thrown out, Li Xiu knew she had little or nothing to worry.

She was going to be a bit rest assured knowing full well her plan would work.

-–––––––––

Luo Jinhai had been expecting Li Jing’s call for days since the encounter but ended up getting nothing from the latter who let herself be only occupied wish work.

Jun Tai Hua had chosen to come and see him in the office and find out if he would be going for the meeting organized this weekend.

"As usual," Jun Tai Hua’s voice echoed in the office, causing a lowered head to stand up and meeting with dark brown eyes.

They held untold sadness in them and Jun Tai Hua knew better than anyone, something mist definitely was wrong and just what he was.

"Do not tell me you are still brooding over what happened that day."

"Jun Tai Hua, I do not have time for your teasing today. Do let me be." Lin Jinhai pleaded with his friend.

"I would, but then I heard something and I thought it may just be what you needed."

"What is it? What did you hear?"

Jun Tai Hai could see the trace of anticipation in his friend’s eyes and knew even though he was sad and gloomy looking, his mind would still function for some things.

"There would be a social event."

"Huh!"

"Yeah, you know, just a birthday celebration for the business tycoon, Mrs Lin Huilang," Jn Tai Hua informed him.

"Oh." He had seemed a little bit off and disappointed.

What was it that he was thinking about that took his mind? Jun Tai Hua could not place it.

"And you are going to attend."

"I do not want to."

"Why?" Jun Tai Hua knew why, but he had hoped that it would b a different reason.

Something must kill a man and in Luo Jinhai’s case. Li Jing was his problem.
