49 Bad News (1)

Ling Yue hadn't had time to think of the right answer when Du Zhuang called her.

"Hello, boss. Are you finally remember one of your employees was here?" Ling Yue quips.

"Forget about that. You still remember Mrs. Wang, don't you?" Du Zhuang asked ignoring her innuendo.

"Of course, she's my first client in DuChen, how did I forget?" Ling Yue leaning her back on a chair and turning to look at the view outside the window.

"Bad news. Mrs. Wang came and demanded King Empire again. Come back here for a moment, we'll talk at the office."

"WHAT?!" Ling Yue stood up immediately. "Alright I wi--"

Suddenly, the door opened and Bo Xilai barged in. "We have an emergency meeting," he said loudly.

"Looks like your legal team already knows." Du Zhuang said. "Let me know later how the results will be there," then Du Zhuang hung up.

The team who investigated Ms. Wang's case replacing An Ruan gathered in the meeting room. Shi Yuanzhi led the meeting and his dislike face towards Ling Yue was clearly displayed.

"It looks like someone who was recruited for saving the image of this company needs to be re-evaluated," he sneered as Ling Yue sat down.

"May I know what happened?" she asked. From the outside she looked calm and indifferent, whereas in her heart she was shaken and swore how it could be at a time like this Shi Yuanzhi trying to mess with her.

"That old woman is demanding back this company. Does she think she can playing with King Empire?" one of her partners protested.

Mo Yini, of course would not let Ling Yue take her hands off this incident. It's time to get the spectacled woman fired and restore her boyfriend's position. "Miss Ling, is our offer at that time not enough? Haven't you agreed?" She looked at Ling Yue, Bo Xilai and Guo Jun who met to sign the agreement at that time. "Or is this perhaps your conspiracy to blackmail this company?"

"Mo Yini! Don't accuse carelessly. I can sue you!" Guo Jun said, he was not happy. He glanced at Ling Yue. "There must be a misunderstanding that made the Lady file more demands."

Ling Yue on the other hand felt something was wrong. Based on her meeting with the lady in the past, Mrs. Wang was not the type of person who broke promises as long as her demands were met. Unless the party that doesn't keep the promise is King Empire itself.

"Can I talk to her first?" Ling Yue looked at Shi Yuanzhi.

"Meet her? as who? her lawyer or this company's lawyer?" Shi Yuanzhi raised an eyebrow.

Ling Yue was speechless. Her position was really ambiguous. She wanted to meet with Mrs. Wang as that woman's lawyer. But seeing her current position in King Empire, it would be very unethical if her former lawyer suddenly became an opposing lawyer.

Ling Yue stood up. "I'll discuss it with Mr Xi first," she said then came out.

Shi Yuanzhi did not hold authority over Ling Yue even though she was his underling. Because the one who made her position in a difficult position like right now was the CEO of this company.

"Can I meet with Mr. Xi?" Ling Yue asked Xi Jian's two secretaries. They nodded.

"Just go in," they said. Ling Yue was a bit suspicious at them. They never asked whether she had an appointment or not with their superiors, like other secretaries do if anyone wants to meet with their boss.

Ling Yue opened the door and found Xi Jian's face as black as the back of the pot. In front of him stood Bai Xu and a woman. They were definitely not in a good atmosphere. Ling Yue intended to turn around but Xi Jian was already hurried to see her.
