Chapter 241 Temperature
"This project is a big deal. It could make us or break us," Jiang Yue said as she wiped the corner of her mouth with a linen napkin. "It involves billions so I will personally take charge of everything."
"That’s good," Fu Jin replied. "What about Minghua?"
"He will take on most of my jobs for the meantime. He has been trained for this, so I am not worried at all," Jiang Yue said before deciding to change the topic. "How’s Father?"
"Fine. There was some damage to his spine when the debris hit him, but he is doing better now. They are going to go back to Hua City with Grandfather."
"Good to know..." Jiang Yue’s words were interrupted by Fu Jin’s ringtone. The latter immediately picked up his phone before frowning.
"Damages?" he asked, his tone cold and freezing. "Got it. I will arrive in three hours."
"What’s wrong?" Jiang Yue asked after Fu Jin ended the call.
"Another explosion in one of our mines. I believe this one is an inside job."
"Are you going?" she asked.
"Yes. I need to," he sighed. "This is the twelfth explosion that we’ve had this year. I need to find out who is responsible for all of this."
"Don’t worry. I will help you once I finish something up in my office tonight."
"I might spend the night over there," he said.
"No problem... You can send me all the security tapes, as well as give me access to the private networks that you guys are using."
Fu Jin nodded before giving her a kiss. "I’ll see you tomorrow," he said before walking himself out of Jiang Yue’s office.
Jiang Yue just stared at Fu Jin’s back, her gaze full of meanings, before asking someone to clean up the dishes from her office.
Then she spent the rest of the day attending meetings and hosting interviews.
At six in the evening, Fu Jin called her to let her know that he had already arrived at the offshore mining site. The weather was not that good, so it had taken them some time to actually reach the place.
Then he gave her an access control to the system that runs all Video Surveillance on the area..
After the call, Jiang Yue asked Shen Rong to bring her some takeout so she could eat in her office. She still needed to finish some paperwork, so she had decided to stay late. Furthermore, Fu Jin was away and she didn’t like staying in the villa all by herself.
At around eight in the evening, Jiang Yue had Shen Rong leave before her. Since she was far from home, Jiang Yue wanted to just stay in her office for the night.
However, ten minutes after midnight, Jiang Yue received a call from Fu Jin. He wanted her to go to his office and secure a USB from his vault. He even gave her the password, which was, surprisingly, the date that they had first met each other at the museum.
Jiang Yue ended the call with a smile as she thought about their first encounter: the time when she had threatened to have him killed.
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Yue headed to the Fu Conglomerate’s building with Bei Ye.
Jiang Yue tightened her jacket as they walked towards the building. It was almost one in the evening so the streets were already empty.
Seeing the empty guardhouse, Jiang Yue instantly frowned. She mentally noted to tell Fu Jin about the lack of security in his building when he got back.
Using a key card that Fu Jin gave her a couple days ago, Jiang Yue easily made her way inside the building. She was currently in thea private elevator that was reserved for the CEO.
This elevator would lead them directly to Fu Jin’s office at the topmost floor of the building.
*Ding*
Jiang Yue instantly made her way out of the elevator and opened the doors leading to Fu Jin’s office. She walked silently towards Fu Jin’s office, hoping to complete the task as fast as possible. She had seemingly sensed something that was making her uncomfortable.
She silently opened Fu Jin’s door and froze. Something about the room was making her nervous; her instincts told her immediately that something was wrong. As if something was telling her to run and hide.
It couldn’t be the temperature, Right?
