The atmosphere in the hallway was quite tense as everyone waited in front for the doctors to come out.
At this time, Steward Gu walked towards them with a look of urgency on his face. His footsteps paused and he glanced in the direction of the operation theatre and worry etched on his face. All this time, Shen Lihua's condition was improving constantly and there was no sign of her being this sick.
Jun Zixuan was sitting quietly with a blank expression on his face. Yu Mei stood behind him with her hand placed on his shoulder.
Noticing another presence around, she turned around to look at Steward Gu who was standing at a distance.
She frowned slightly before walking towards the man.
''Young Madam...'' The man looked at her, ''There is not much time left for the meeting to start. The other person is a prestigious identity with a strong military background and it would look improper to go back on words. But given the current condition, it's not possible for Master to be there.''
Yu Mei looked at Jun Zixuan who was sitting quietly. It might not affect him or his company that much if he did not attend the meeting, and they can also explain the cause to the other party but in recent days, many people are waiting for a chance to bring Jun Zixuan down. Especially ever since his face came to light, this has been many people's objective.
Just as he was about to say something, she noticed Jun Zixuan standing up and walking towards them.
He cupped her face before placing a soft kiss on her forehead, ''Go home and take a rest. The day has been hectic for you,'' He whispered.
"But...'' Yu Mei paused for a moment before nodding, "Alright, I will come back soon.''
Jun Zixuan nodded.
Yu Mei grabbed his hand before dragging him towards the seat, ''Sit here,'' She pushed him towards the seat before placing her hands on his shoulder, ''I will be back soon,'' She stroked his face.
Jun Zixuan grabbed her hand before kissing her knuckles quietly, ''Mm, I will wait for you.''
Yu Mei looked at him for some time before she nodded. She glanced at Jun Zishen who was standing in front of the opaque glass door before she turned to look at Jun Boyan who was sitting on the other side with his palms covering his face.
Shi Luo, who was sitting beside Jun Boyan stood up before she approached Yu Mei.
She glanced at Jun Zixuan before grabbing Yu Mei's hand and dragging her away from him, ''Are you leaving?"
Yu Mei nodded, ''I will be back soon, Luoluo. Take care of... them,'' She looked at Jun Zixuan for a few seconds before she averted her gaze, ''Keep me updated. I will be back as soon as possible.''
Shi Luo nodded.
''We have those files in the car, right?" Yu Mei asked as she approached Steward Gu.
The man nodded, ''Yes, it just needs to be rechecked once before the meeting starts...'' Steward Gu paused, realizing something, ''But Young Madam, you can't...''
''I will take a look at the files and all the details of this partnership on our way back. I need at least 40 mins and at most 1 hour to understand it properly,'' she said, ''Switch the meeting mode and make it a video conference.''
''But..''
''I will be present there instead of Zixuan. I'll deal with it,'' She cut him off as she spoke in a reassuring tone before walking towards the elevator.
Yu Mei paused near the elevator as she turned around. She looked at Jun Zixuan for a few seconds before stepping inside the elevator.
2 hours later.
''Alright, now that we are done with the discussion, we will finalize the rest of the things with Chief,'' The man whose face was displayed on the screen spoke with a German accent.
Yu Mei nodded as she replied to him, ''Certainly, he will get back to you after everything is over,'' She replied to him in fluent English.
The man greeted her, with a small smile forming on his face. It was a pleasant surprise on his part. When he was told that the Chief's wife will be taking over the meeting for the day, he did not expect much from it and was even ready to reject it but then it was a last moment decision to attend it just in case he ended up offending the man in the process. It would have been a loss for him.
But Yu Mei's attitude about the whole thing surprised him along with the clarity that she had about it. He was not only impressed by her professionalism but also her knowledge. Meanwhile, he also recognized her as the CEO of Rosette. He was not aware of the relationship between Jun Zixuan and Yu Mei, having not been paying attention to tabloids.
And it made him more pleased with himself that he did not reject the meeting with her and gave it a chance. He had wanted to have a customized set of jewellery by Rosette designed for his wife and it would not have been good if he ended up on wrong terms with the CEO.
Yu Mei greeted him back before she disconnected the video conference.
Steward Gu who was standing beside her, noticed there was something wrong with her, "Young Miss, are you alright?' He asked, still a bit surprised by her business skills. When she said that she will manage this, he only half believed her but now he realized how wrong he was, "You don't look well.''
Yu Mei shook her head, ''I am fine... Contact the hospital...''
''The treatment is going on... After that, they will follow the test procedures to ensure whether the leukaemia cells are cleared or not. It might take another hour before we get to know about Madam's condition.''
Yu Mei nodded. The way the Director explained it to them, she got the crux of the whole thing. Leukaemia is barely curable by surgery but following all procedures, taken with bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, they would ensure to control the leukaemia cells.
"Alright...'' Yu Mei stood up, ''We will leave now then.''
Steward Gu paused, ''Master texted some time ago...''
''He did?"
Steward Gu nodded.
''What did he say?" She looked at him.
"He texted on your number but since you didn't check it, he asked me to let you know.''
"Alright, you can go.. I will see you in some time,'' Steward Gu bowed and left and Yu Mei looked around for her phone.
