Say What?!

"YES, SIR!" Assistant Tseng shouted loud into the mic as he answered the call. The nervousness caused his sweat glands to clogged with sweat being over secreted.

Grandfather Yang knew how much pressure he had on a mere assistant, so he waste no time and went straight to the point. "Tell me what happens between Tong Yue-Yan and the singer Lee Yin-Yin. I want to know everything."

Grandfather Yang was the company chairman, his status made Assistant Tseng nervous to the extreme. He told Grandfather Yang everything he could about the fight at the restaurant. He reported details, times, location, like he would inform a business contract. However, he felt out the most crucial detail. The girls were fighting and President Yang completely ignored them and left with Wang Yi-An. But how could he say those words when his loyalty lies with President Yang?

Grandfather Yang was sharp, and he knew something was off. In an authoritative voice he asked Assistant Tseng, "Where was he when the event happened?"

"Ah… An important matter have to be taken care of at the company, and the president need to return ASAP! Sir!" Assistant Tseng lied, and he felt the cold sweat dripping down his forehead as he held on to the phone, shaking.

The air condition was on high, yet inside Assistant Tseng's office he felt hot. The cold sweats dripped and soaked his suit. Assistant Tseng had worked for Yang Tian-Xu for a long time. Assistant Tseng was a smart man, and he knew one day Yang Tian-Xu would become the future chairman of Yang Corps. However, would it still be wise for him to lie to the current chairman? He took a gamble and hope he had stepped foot in the right boat.

"Where is he now?" Grandfather Yang asked as he took Assistant Tseng's word for it.

But, how could he know the whereabouts of Yang Tian-Xu? He hadn't shown up all day! Assistant Tseng did not understand where President Yang was because he didn't see him in the morning. He wasn't in his office, nor was he in the manager's office on the seventh floor.

Assistant Tseng thought perhaps President Yang had something important to do, which sometimes he would do before he appeared at the office. Although Assistant Tseng does not understand where President Yang was, he made an excuse and said, "President Yang is currently in a business meeting with Mr Jin. Sir!"

Even though, Assistant Tseng knew lying to the chairman might come back to bite him later, however, the one he maintained his loyalty to was still President Yang. Just crossed his fingers and hope he did the right thing.

Grandfather Yang didn't ask anymore and was ready to hang up, but before he did, he reminded Assistant Tseng. "Tell him to call me when he's out of his meeting."

"Yes, sir!" He exclaimed as he waited for Grandfather Yang to hang up the phone first. Later, he wiped the sweats off of his forehead. Assistant Tseng hurried and called President Yang to warn him about the upcoming trouble President Yang might face later on.

Time went by quickly; Wang Yi-An had cooked them some hangover ginger soup and left them on the counter before she left for work. Yang Tian-Xu looked over at the two bowls of hot ginger soup and took one in his hands. He enjoyed every last sip and felt all tingly inside; warm and filled with happiness, and so he let out a silly smile.

Yang Tian-Xu was never a fan of ginger, in fact he disliked ginger. However, he finished drinking all of Wang Yi-An's ginger soup. He eyed the other bowl, he picked it up and finish drinking it all and didn't even bother saving a drop for Jin Qi-Long.

Fung Qi-Wei laughed at Yang Tian-Xu's immaturity. "You're not going to save that bowl for your friend? He might need it when he wakes up." Fung Qi-Wei asked as he saw Yang Tian-Xu drank the second bowl.

"Qi-Long? No, he doesn't need it." Yang Tian-Xu wanted all of Wang Yi-An's ginger soup; all to himself.

"Need what?" Jin Qi-Long was stupor as he had finally woken up. The time was 9:35 a.m. "Holy Mother…" He realised that one shot knocked him up cold. "Damn, that's one heck of a strong family recipe you got!" Jin Qi-Long complimented and looked around the room. "I like it! I will become your number one regular from now on!" Jin Qi-Long chirped as he gave Fung Qi-Wei a thump-up.

Yang Tian-Xu always ignored Jin Qi-Long, even though he also wanted to visit the restaurants, but only on days when she had a shift at the restaurant. Hence, Yang Tian-Xu requested her work schedule from Fung Qi-Wei.

Fung Qi-Wei felt happy that a magnet like Yang Tian-Xu was interested in Wang Yi-An, and so he disclosed Wang Yi-An's schedule. He wanted to play cupid for Wang Yi-An and Yang Tian-Xu. Deep inside his heart, he hoped that they won't end up like his parents. With Yang Tian-Xu reassuring him about his feelings for Wang Yi-An, he thought he could give his trust in Yang Tian-Xu. Fung Qi-Wei wasn't just a brother to Wang Yi-An, but he would try to stood up for her like a father would for his daughter.

For a while, Yang Tian-Xu and Fung Qi-Wei had gotten along well, as he and Fung Qi-Wei talked about Wang Yi-An's favourite things. Fung Qi-Wei decided he would give pointers on how to win over Wang Yi-An's heart, as he told Yang Tian-Xu her likes and dislikes, Yang Tian-Xu would keep a note in his mind. He would forget nothing related to her.

Their entire chat, not wanting to bothered them Jin Qi-Long sat at the corner of the bed, as he watched how concentrated Yang Tian-Xu was on the subject. Jin Qi-Long knew Yang Tian-Xu so well, and so he went to put on his clothing and sat back down on the bed as he listened. Patient for the entire hour until Jin Qi-Long warned him, "Ah, Tian-Xu it's almost 11 a.m. now, shouldn't you be back at Yang Corps?"

Surprised to realised they had been talking with each other for another hour before they saw the time, displayed 10:45 a.m. "Well, I guess we should go now, thank you very much for your care, and I apologised for last night." Just as he reached out a hand to shake Fung Qi-Wei's hand, he gave him a slight smile.

Fung Qi-Wei took Yang Tian-Xu's hand for a shake. Nevertheless, he felt like this once arrogant man had suddenly become someone so polite and mannerist, he had to ask him. "You're only so polite because of the pointers I'd shared you about what An-An's likes and dislikes, right?"

"Yes…" Yang Tian-Xu was honest, and perhaps he was a little too honest that he somewhat hurt Fung Qi-Wei's feelings. Still, Fung Qi-Wei would prefer to be on good standings with someone who was the current heir to the Yang Family rather than being on bad terms with him.

A coincident when they walked out Yang Tian-Xu's phone was ringing continuously. Assistant Tseng had called him non-stop for the entire hour! Yang Tian-Xu saw the name and along with a bunch of missed call notifications on his phone. He finally picked it up.

"PRESIDENT YANG!!!!" Assistant Tseng shouted as he continued, "Chairman called! And he asked about your whereabouts! He told me to notify you as soon as I can!"

"Yeah. Okay." Yang Tian-Xu had always brushed off Assistant Tseng's emotions. All the while, Assistant Tseng had panicked on behalf of Yang Tian-Xu, what did he get in return? Two simple words that were literal and carried no feelings.

Assistant Tseng felt hurt, however, he still reported about his conversation with Grandfather Yang. Yet, when Assistant Tseng asked him, "When do you plan to return to the office, boss?"

"In a bit... First, I want to ask An-An if I can give her a lift to work today." He said as let out a sly smile. Jin Qi-Long and Fung Qi-Wei both felt like they wanted to hurl.

"Um… President Yang, Wang Yi-An is already here at the office." Assistant Tseng felt awkward as he wondered. "Why offer her a lift to work when she's already here?" At 9:15 a.m. Wang Yi-An had already started her shift at Yang Corps. Wang Yi-An had messaged him she would be late and perhaps she might show up at 9:30 a.m., however, she made it to her desk at 9:15 a.m.

"Say what?!" Yang Tian-Xu shouted into the phone. The shout was so loud, it could have damaged Assistant Tseng's eardrum.
