Chapter 17 - The Charity Gala (2)

The man was wearing a full face mask making difficult for Yan Shu to recognize him. Yan Shu raised her eyes as she glared at him and pointing with her index finger at herself she asked, "Are you referring to me?"

"Boss, don't tell me you forgot about me. Did you hit your head in the accident? What should I do now? What will happen to our company?" Dai Yu pretended to sob rubbing his invisible nose and lifting his shoulder a few times.

After transmigrating most of Su Mo Jiaran's memory were vague to Yan Shu resulted from the collusion of both of their memories. Hence, except from the Su family and few other things which she had seen, the rest of the memories were hardly visible inside her head. She would have to see the face of the person talking to her to recall him and his connection with Su Mo Jiaran.

"Meet me near the room no. 444." She said calmly much at ease than before.

"Roger." Dai Yu didn't give it much thought instead he was glad to hear it thinking his boss hasn't forgotten him.

Dai Yu said something to the person sitting beside him before heading to the meeting place.

"Do you know him?" Su Jiacheng noticed her talking to a guy but since he was in the opposite side of Yan Shu he did not hear their conversation.

"Not really. Just another pervert I guess." She couldn't think of any other excuse.

"I see. Let brother handle him then." Su Jiacheng gazed at Dai Yu's back with his cold narrowed eyes.

"Don't bother. I can handle that much." Yan Shu can not let Su Jiacheng involve in this matter before she confirms that person's identity.

"As you wish then." He replied dejectedly. He knew his sister has always been capable and handled things by herself. But since the accident she has been opening up making him forget about the past one. Hence, his hopes got high only to be crushed. Disappointment rushed inside him as he tried to suppress it tightening his jaws.

On the other side, Dai Yu shivered. Taking out his palms from his pockets he rubbed his arms as he felt like the temperature around him lowered with each step he took.

The gala still had half an hour left before it begins. Most of the people who have arrived early were either eager to widen their connection or to make a new one. For Su Jiacheng it was neither. Being one of the major contributor of the Hope Foundation, organizer of the Charity Gala, Su Jiacheng was asked to give the opening speech leading him to arrive early at the venue.

"President Su, something came up. You are needed at the control room since President Si has not arrived yet." A man rushed up to Su Jiacheng and leaned to him a little closely bending his body slightly with sweat droplets on his forehead. He appeared rather scared than anxious.

"I'll be back in a moment. Just give me a call if you don't like it here." Su Jiacheng nodded at the man probably the gala organizer and reassured Yan Shu before leaving with the man.

Yan Shu took the chance and walked towards the stairs heading to the second floor.

....

Dai Yu was waiting patiently near the room 444 leaning against the wall.

'When did boss buy this place without even using her money!' He wondered until a woman appeared in his sight.

Yan Shu hideously typed the passcode surprising Dai Yu before unlocking the door and entering the room. Realizing the other person still standing in the doorway Yan Shu turned back and gave a questioning look at him. The lost for a moment Dai Yu shaked his head vigorously as he followed Yan Shu inside.

Yan Shu was still thinking how to let him remove his mask by himself when Dai Yu pulled off his mask as soon as he entered the living room.

"Woah,boss!!! Did you buy it?" He exclaimed as he started to walk around the spacious living room observing each corner like a precious diamond.

"I just happened to own it." She replied nonchalantly, still trying to figure out the identity of the other person.

Dai Yu was dumbfounded although it was somewhat expected.

"Boss, the matters of Xueling has been handled. We were just waiting for the green light from you before taking the next step you've planned." After taking a tour of the whole suite, Dai Yu finally remembered the reason he was there today. Hence, he took a seat in the sofa putting on a serious face.

Yan Shu did not speak. She was still wondering around her memory lane to find this person.

"When we heard you were in an accident, we've been trying to contact you through every means. But to no avail. We couldn't reach your number nor did we had the courage to break into the Su villa. Your baby SJ had missed you so much that every employees of the company were affected by it." Getting no response from his boss, Dai Yu's serious face collapsed replaced with teary eyes and gloominess as he spoke downheartedly.

The moment Yan Shu heard SJ, a bell rang inside her head. SJ Finance was the current top investment company of Country A. Two years ago, the company made a debut historically cleaning out several corrupted companies helping many aspiring small businesses leadinh to the attraction if customers. At present, it was managing almost 10 billion USD assests. The owner of the company was mysterious and rumored to be an old rich man playing money out of boredom. Dai Yu, the second-in-charge person of the company was the one who presents the company outside.

Memories of SJ rushed in slowly in her memory lane making Yan Shu astounded.

'How can this little girl be the big shot behind this giant investment company!' It was such an eye-opener for Yan Shu. She remembered dropping out of school at this age and performing as stunt doubles during that period despite having a good brain.

"Proceed as planned and buy out every % of their shares." Yan Shu commanded Dai Yu, who was having a drink from the wine bottle he just pulled out from the suite bar beside the sofa.

"Before that, would you care to share your new wechat or something so that we can contact you!! I wouldn't have come here if the news of Su Jiacheng bringing a woman wasn't leaked out yesterday." His sadness was detectable from his tone.

"knock,knock!"

Yan Shu was still collecting her memories when there was a knock on the door startling both who looked at each other with an inquiring look before getting up to see the newly arrived person.
