CHAPTER 203
Another day at work. Bai Renxiang was going through a document when a knock on her door was heard. She peeled her gaze from the document and gazed at the door.
"I thought I asked Jinhai not to allow anyone in for the meantime," she murmured.
"Sigh. Come in," she said and looked back at the document.
"Good morning boss," a masculine voice greeted her. Bai Renxiang raised her grade from the document to see who it was.
"Mr Quan. To what do I owe this visit?" She said with a slight rise at the side of her lips.
"Ah! There are two reasons I came. I hope you will grant me, hearing boss," he said in a very respectful tone and smile. But hidden underneath that smile is a glaring face filled with hate and scorn.
Bai Renxiang being exposed to these types of people knew better that it was all a fa?ade. She had received warnings or more like lectured from Assistant Charlie about this man and his closeness to the vice president. He told her not to trust anyone blindly. Especially those members of the board of directors.
"Well you are already in my office, aren't you?" Bai Renxiang stated.
"Yes. Yes, I am," he cleared his throat and began. "Well, first of all, I came to ask if you were in good health."
"Is there a reason I should not?" Bai Renxiang raised a brow at him.
"No boss. I asked seeing as you have been busy of late," he explained his point.
"Hmm. Well, I am good. So what is the other reason you came?" Bai Renxiang asked. She did not have spare time to waste on pretenders. There are other important things she would rather spend her time on.
"Ah! Yes. It is about the project with...."
After discussing the issue with Mr Quan and he had left, she leaned into the chair and massaged her temples.
"Being the overall head of a huge company is a tough job," she said.
Knock Knock
"Come in."
"I am sorry to disturb you, boss. I just came to drop some documents sent over by the executive department," Xia Xinyi said immediately she got in.
"Hmm. Drop them there," Bai Renxiang pointed to a space on her desk and Xia Xinyi placed the documents there.
She noticed that her boss seemed stressed so she quickly excused herself. In the next five minutes, another knock came. Bai Renxiang groaned and slammed her down on her desk.
"Boss. I noticed how stressed you are so I brought you a cup of chilled chocolate drink. It will help you calm down," Xia Xinyi said.
Bai Renxiang sighed. She had thought that another disturbance came again. It was just her assistant being observant and caring. It warmed her heart.
"Thank you for your concern Xia Xinyi," she said as she accepted the drink and took a sip. It was indeed relaxing since it was cold.
"You are welcome. I will take my leave now so that you can carry on," Xia Xinyi took a bow and turned to leave.
"Wait. What is my schedule like today? I forgot to ask when I came in," Bai Renxiang asked.
"Nothing much. The major things have been carried out by the different departments assigned. So your schedule is not tight. You have a meeting with QT's CEO this morning by ten and another with Mr Tan by one this afternoon."
"So after that, I have nothing to do?" Bai Renxiang asked.
"No boss."
"Okay then. You can go, thank you."
That was how Bai Renxiang went about her schedule and work while taking necessary breaks. When she came back to the company as she had finished her last meeting, it was already thirty minutes past two in the afternoon. She decided to just check our the departments, using the opportunity to stretch her legs and also know the happenings of the company.
The employees were shocked when they saw her. They did not get a notice that the boss will be visiting. But still, yet, they were proud that they were well coordinated when she came and were also happy to get to see her since it was rare.
The heads of the departments were also surprised to see her. While she was busy inspecting, Xia Xinyi came rushing to her with her phone in hand.
"Boss! Boss!" She called. Bai Renxiang turned to see her assistant literarily running. Something urgent must be the cause.
"Watch your feet, Assistant Xia. What is the rush?" Bai Renxiang said.
"It... It is a call. Mr Li wants to talk to you," she whispered the last part as she breathed heavily. Bai Renxiang took the phone from her and left the PR department to the elevator.
"Good afternoon Mr Li," she said.
"Good afternoon Ms Bai. I called to ask if you have any free time to spare me from your schedule," Li Fengjin's baritone voice reached her ears.
"Uhm... I do have time to spare. I am currently done with my schedule for the day," Bai Renxiang answered.
"Okay. Please can we meet at that same restaurant to pro red with the business?" Bai Renxiang blinked once and twice and turned to look at Xia Xinyi who had joined her in the elevator.
"Oh! I thought that your assistant will be the one discussing the rest plans for the business," she said.
"Why? Does Ms Bai find me uncomfortable to discuss with?"
"I... I did not say so, Mr Li. You have misunderstood me. I just thought you had other important matters at hand," Bai Renxiang explained.
"Relax. I was just trying to relieve the tension. Anyways, I plan on handling this deal personally. So you are going to be seeing me more often."
"Alright then. At what time should we meet?"
"As soon as possible. Remember it is still the same place, Jade's Dragon Restaurant," he reminded her.
"Okay. I will meet you there," Bai Renxiang said and ended the call.
'I can't wait to start spending more time with you.'
