CHAPTER 185
Xia Xinyi was taken by surprise on hearing Bai Renxiang's words. She looked at her in awe.
"Boss used to work at Emperor's Enterprise?" She asked.
"Hmm. I worked there for two years," Bai Renxiang raised two of her fingers beside her face.
"Woah! That is so cool and unbelievable," Xia Xinyi said.
"So you and my boss are kind of acquainted?" Wang Tingxiao asked. He was curious to know.
"Not really. The only time I saw him was when he first arrived at the company and he visited every department," Bai Renxiang answered.
"Oh!" That was all Wang Tingxiao and Xia Xinyi could say.
"Let's raise our glasses for a toast to a new business journey and success ahead for Emperor's Enterprise and Jiang Corporations," Li Fengjin said as he raised his wine glass that had red wine in it. The rest of them followed suit and then they joined their glasses.
CLINK
"Cheers!!!" They said before drinking from their glasses. After staying for a while, they finally decided to call it a day.
"Thank you for the meal Mr Li," Bai Renxiang thanked.
"You are welcome, Ms Bai."
"We will be leaving first then. Good evening."
"Have a safe trip home."
Having said their goodbyes, Bai Renxiang and Xia Xinyi left the room. Li Fengjin let out a sharp sigh as he slumped down on his chair. He closed his eyes and massaged his temples.
"Are you alright boss?" Wang Tingxiao asked in concern and Li Fengjin just nodded his head.
"I am okay. I think my heart is too excited," Li Fengjin said as he placed his hand on the left side of his chest. Wang Tingxiao laughed at Li Fengjin.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I just think it is funny to see you acting like this now that Ms Bai has left," Wang Tingxiao replied.
"Sigh. Tingxiao, how do you feel when you are with Lisa?" Li Fengjin asked out of the blue.
"Why are we talking about my love life now?" Wang Tingxiao asked suspiciously.
"Nothing. I just want to know."
"How did you feel when Ms Bai was here?" Wang Tingxiao asked instead of answering her s question.
"Well, I felt... I can't explain what I felt okay? But I loved that feeling of having her around," Li Fengjin answered honestly. After hearing his words, Wang Tingxiao was all smiles.
"Why are you smiling like that? Did I say something wrong?" Li Fengjin asked.
"You, my friend... are in love," he gave a conclusive answer.
"I know. But I just hope she would feel the same for me."
"Do not worry. You will get there. Start by creating chances for the two of you to meet and from there, you can get to know her more and whatnot. You will see that after all these, every other thing will start coming into play," Wang Tingxiao said and patted his shoulder.
"I hope so."

"Sigh. That went well," Xia Xinyi said.
"Hmm. Grandpa would be so happy when I tell him how the meeting went. We have the biggest company invested in Jiang Corporation. It is amazing and unbelievable," said Bai Renxiang.
"Yeah. I must say that Jiang Corporation has achieved great things since you became CEO," Xia Xinyi said.
Bai Renxiang turned her head to look at her assistant. "Really? How do you know that?"
"First of all, I am your assistant. I have gone through so many records on the profits and losses of the company in the past. Although the company experienced success yours tells a different thing," Xia Xinyi said.
"Jiang Corporation in your regime has been tremendously successful. Also, I happened to overhear a conversation between some employees at the company. They showered you with praises and said that you are worthy of the position as CEO." Bai Renxiang could not help but smile on hearing all Xia Xinyi said.
It warmed her heart to know that in the eye of the employees of the company, she is seen as a hard-working and worthy leader.
"Thank you for your kind words Xia Xinyi. It means a lot to me to hear you say that."
"You are too appreciative of these kinds of things boss. I only spoke the truth."
"But still... thank you. I promise to continue working hard for the good of the company."
"I look forward to standing by your side when you do. I am so happy and proud of myself for working for you," Xia Xinyi said in a fangirling manner.
Bai Renxiang laughed at her antics. Just then, Bai Renxiang's phone rang. She took it out of her purse to see who was calling. It displayed the word 'Mum' on its screen.
"Hello mum," she greeted after answering the call.
"Hello, mummy! When are you going to come home? Are you going to stay longer in your office to finish up your work?" Came Bai Xiaojin's small voice.
"Hi, my love. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Mummy is on her way home okay? Make sure to eat your dinner before I come back," Bai Renxiang said lovingly.
"But I want to eat with mummy. Come quick. I will wait for you," Bai Xiaojin said in a sulking voice.
"I already had my dinner with a business partner. So do not wait for me and just eat."
"Then since you have eaten, come home quick and feed me. Bye mummy. Muah!" He said and ended the call.
Xia Xinyi chuckled after witnessing the little master's attitude. Bai Renxiang could only shake her head wondering what she would do with her son.
"The little master is so sweet," Xia Xinyi said.
"Yes, he is. But he can be very demanding at times. Sigh. He is a cute brat," Bai Renxiang said with a smile.
"Alright. This is my stop. Thank you for bringing me home boss," Xia Xinyi said as the car parked beside a small apartment.
"You are welcome. Rest well okay?"
"Yes, boss. Have a safe trip home."
