CHAPTER 430

"Let this be a warning to you all. My eyes are everywhere and I would be watching, whether I am away or I am present." She paused, making sure that her words did sink into their heads before continuing.

"I know some of you may feel that what I am doing is too much. I am sorry you have to think that about me but trust me I do not give a damn about your thoughts based on this matter."

Yes she herself knew her words were harsh, but who cares. 

She was done being the victim and allowing others to trample on her and those she loved.

"Not only did she feed information outside to my enemy, she, Wang Ju also, poisoned my grandfather. As far as I am concerned, this punishment is small for this kind of matter. My grandfather's life was jeopardized."

Alix smiled from where she stood close to Li Jing. It wasn't because she was happy for what those traitors were going to face. No.

She was glad to see Li Jing stand up for what she wanted and not allowing people to do as they please in hurting her.

"As for the new ones who would be incorporated into the system too, whoever lies or betrays my trust again in this house, would wish that they had never met me. Are we clear?"

"Clear ma."

"Great then. You can all…"

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Li Jing paused, then signalled for one of the maids to go get the door. Not long after the maid went, she returned with two officers walking behind her.

As soon as Bei Ai and Wang Ju saw the officers, their eyes opened. While Wang Ju cried, Bei Ai wailed, pleading Li Jing not to go through with it.

Unfortunately for both girls, it was already too late as Li Jing had crossed her mind against it. If she did not make an example of them, others would do it again.

Besides, it was her grandfather's life they were talking about here. Not only did she poison her grandfather but she had been feeding information to her enemy since God knows when.

"Welcome officers. Please just give me a minute to round up this meeting."

"As you wish ma. We would wait," one of the officers responded, taking a step back to allow Li Jing to do her thing.

"Thanks. So, I believe my words are clear to everyone. Please behave and be of good conduct, then I would not have any reason to do this again. Remember, my eyes are watching. You may all return to your duties. And just as an added benefit, you would have twenty percent of your salaries added to your income as a bonus for being good. Good day, everyone."

"Good day ma," they all chorused and began dispersing to carry on their duties with smiles on their faces.

"Officers, thank you for coming. Here they are, please you can carry on from here."

****

Having done that, Li Jing felt great but she did not let it stop there There was still one thing she needed to do and that was…

~LIN ENTERPRISE~

A pair of heels clicked on the tiled floor as a lady dressed in white fitted office trousers and suit with a black inner as well as a white handbag walked majestically towards the door to the main building of the company.

"Good day ma," the security man on duty greeted with a smiling face as he pulled open the doors for her.

"Morning." She flashed him one of her trademark smiles.

It was a new day and she was more than ready to make it as special as it started by rooting out the weeds present.

The second she stepped foot into the company, several eyes suddenly were on her. But even that did not bother Li Jing as her smile only deepened and she continued walking towards the elevator.

"Good morning ma."

"Welcome, ma."

"Wow, you look so good ma."

"Congratulations, ma. It is good to have you back."

With all the side comments and greetings she was getting, all she could be just smile at them and wave when necessary.

Within her, she knew that it was going to be a wonderful day and her grand auntie, should get prepared for the war that was to come.

Within a few minutes, Li Jng found herself on the floor to her office. Making her way to the desk of her personal assistant, she was expecting to see her all happy and welcoming her but what she saw actually stunned her.

"Excuse me,' she began the second she was in front of her desk.

Immediately a young girl with blonde hair, looking no older than twenty-three raised her head to see how had just spoken.

"Yes, how may I help you?" She looked calm and unperturbed. There was no hint in her eyes to say she recognized Li Jing.

'Wow! What has my grand auntie done?' Li Jing asked within her.

Regardless, she still wore her best of smiles and replied to the girl. "Umm, I am here to see Hu Qi."

"Okay, but do you have a reservation and is she expecting you?"

"No dear. She isn't but I am sure she would be more than thrilled to have me."

"I am sorry a. I cannot allow you to go in."

"Oh dear, it is assumed you have been lost for ages that you dare want to stop me."

"Pardon?" She clamped her lips shut, willing herself to calm down and not feel insulted by what Li Jing was saying.  Slowly, she took in a deep breath, before looking at Li Jing and trying again.

"Ma, I am sorry but I would ask for you to take your leave, please. Mrs Hu Qi is very busy at the moment and unable to attend to visitors. You can check in with us later in the day to book a reservation for next week. Good day."

"The nerve."

"Excuse me? Ma, I think I have been polite enough, please leave before I call security."

"Is that so?"
