Code of decorum.

Li Teng, the President and the face of Feathering Height was known to be a man of few words. Even though people knew he was second in command, they never dared to look into his eyes directly or talk back at him. With the man's aloof personality, his presence was enough to keep the people in the company at their place.

When he pushed the meeting room open to enter the room, his eyes anxiously searched around before turning to look at the woman sitting nonchalantly at the table. His demeanor eased as if finally, he found the answer he had been looking for all this while.

"You are here?" He asked and his question stunned the other people in the room. Even Liu Si Si was taken aback. Did the man know Meiyi? She never heard her mentioning him. But if he knew, she wouldn't be surprised since Yun Meiyi was the CEO of the company while Li Teng was the President. It was only understandable if he knew her.

When people heard the man referring to someone, they followed his line of sight only to find him staring at the woman, who has not once turned to look at him, nor has stood up in his honor.

Wen Jiang got flustered at her attitude as he turned to glare at Cheng Juan. At this moment, he didn't care about Liu Si Si, nor did he care about recruiting Yun Meiyi. His concern solely went to get concentrated to impress the man who appeared out of blue. After all, he couldn't dare to offend him.

When Cheng Juan noticed the Vice President glaring at her, she was at once in a tough spot. Turning to look at Yun Meiyi she quickly said, "Watch your attitude at least. From which uncivilized environment have you come? Can't you see our company's President has arrived? You should at least stand up to greet him."

She reprimanded with some authority before turning to look at Li Teng, who was still standing at the door while staring at Yun Meiyi.

"President Li, I am really sorry. I should have followed the code of decorum and shouldn't have let just anyone enter here. This woman simply doesn't know the right things to do." Cheng Juan added and Wen Jiang was about to nod at her words but right at that moment, a cold voice made everyone pause in their tracks.

"Did you mention the code of decorum, Manager Cheng?" Yun Meiyi asked as her gaze turned icy at the woman before her. Cheng Juan looked at her and nodded, accepting her words. But there was something in the tone of appraisal that warned her to think twice.

Yun Meiyi looked at the manager and chuckled decorously before her eyes darted to look at Wang Ping Ruo, who wasn't sitting on any far away seat at the moment. "If you really have such a high sense of decorum, tell me something how did you allow Ms. Wang to come and take a seat at this table?"

Cheng Juan at once saw red. "You …" Realizing that the woman was up for no good, she was ready to retort, but Yun Meiyi didn't give her any chance.

Ignoring her words, she stood up and turned to look straight at Li Teng. Her gaze was kind of an accusation, "Am I saying it wrong, President Li? In Feathering Heights, can one actress come to poke their nose in another actress's matters? Especially when it is getting discussed between the higher-ups of the company?"

She questioned and her gaze like that made Li Teng feel all guilty. Glaring at Wang Ping Ruo, he coldly asked, "What are you doing here?"

Wang Ping Ruo wasn't expecting this, so the moment she heard the man question her like that, she was flustered. Not knowing how to escape, she quickly thought to push the blame onto someone else's shoulders. "I-I followed Vice President Wen here and …"

Ignoring the rest of her words, Li Teng turned to look at Wen Jiang who had already turned all pale at the gaze of the man. "P-President Li, I-I was just …"

"Go out!" Li Teng suppressed his anger as keeping his tone in check, he growled in a low, husky voice. Even though his tone was not high-pitched, it still dreaded Wang Ping Ruo to her core. Before anyone could even say anything, she fled from the room without even stopping to say words of sorry to anyone.

Once she was gone, Li Teng swiftly went forward to take the seat across Yun Meiyi, leaving the head of the table like he simply doesn't deserve to sit there. Wen Jiang and Cheng Juan, both were dumbfounded at it. But even though they were clueless, they had no courage to question him.

So, in the end following his suit, the two people also shifted to take other seats. After all, if the President can't take the seat at the head of the table, how could a Vice President dare?

Thinking about it like that, none of them thought about it much. As they sat, they waited for Li Teng to begin first. Wen Jiang thought that he would be asked first about the details. In his head, he had long formed all the plot of the story that he would narrate. He was sure that after hearing him, the man would come in their favor without any doubt.

But to their surprise, Li Teng never turned to ask them about the matter. Instead, he looked up at Yun Meiyi to ask with a very stern face, "You seem to have some complaint. What's the matter?"

Not just Wen Jiang, but even Cheng Juan was flabbergasted at the turn of events. They planned to put Yun Meiyi and Liu Si Si at disadvantage, but it felt like they were getting a disadvantage.

Now they only wish that whatever the two women in front say, they better keep their words in mind. Otherwise, things might get ugly enough to get them shunned out of the company irrespective of their achievements in Feathering Heights all these years.
