Chapter 399 - 380: Warm Hug-I

The room fell in silence. After news they received, some thought the previous CEO of Taihua would come, some who still can't believe the company being bought in a matter of hours thought that the news was nothing but a fable until they saw the young man who had entered the room.

Everyone's eyes was on the young man. He had a face which most woman would love to admire. A prominent forehead where some of his hair light-colored hair was combed to the back, high nose bridge, and an amiable smile that would make one think of him as a soft spoken and gentle person with a hint of confident a youth would have.

Li Jun Wei's eyes were fixed at the young man who entered with the reason being the young man staring at him first. The young man smiled while looking at others and his smile was still on his mouth while looking at Li Jun Wei with the exception of a hidden glint that Li Jun Wei noticed while others find it hard to notice.

"Who are you? I don't think we are missing any member of the conference except for CEO Taihua. You must be lost," said the man who sat the closest to the door.

"The guard must be there, how could they let someone lost come here?" asked another.

The young man turned his face to the people of the room, his eyes still maintain the eye contact with Li Jun Wei, and Li Jun Wei noticed how the person's eyes seized his figure.

After a while, as if after making sure something from watching Li Jun Wei, he then looked toward the people, "I am the last missing person of this conference. CEO Taihua have issued a resignation and I am the person who had just taken the seat."

"The person who bought the company?" whispered one person in surprise. Some looked away from the young man to Elder Li, wondering if he was joking.

The young man seemed to be in his early twenty, possibly age around twenty-four the most. Some can't believe that the young man had taken the position of CEO, and it wasn't the previous CEO's son that makes more question to send the crowds in uproar.

Elder Li also deliberate what happened when Li Jun Wei said from the side, "You can come in, CEO Taihua."

The young man once again stared straight at Li Jun Wei's eyes for his gaze to turn sharper for a second before it turned friendly.

"Do you know him?" Elder Li questioned Li Jun Wei who had let the young man to enter the conference room. The Old Man didn't remember ever meeting the young man before. The business world in Beijing wasn't large. It was bound to meet people if they were in the business with enough amount of wealth to buy a company in less than an hour, but the old man never remember seeing this man before.

Li Jun Wei had gone back seeing his own paper while being aware of how the young man's gaze was still on him. Although it was subtle, Li Jun Wei could feel that the young man's gaze weren't out of respect or admire. The gaze was laced with an enmity.

"I don't," Li Jun Wei said, receiving a raise of an eyebrow from his grandfather. "But he is not telling lies. If not the guard would have stopped him."

Which mean the new CEO had proved himself before entering and needed no more self information except his name. "That's true...I will check with the previous CEO Taihua after the conference," said his grandfather, he didn't know by what mean the new guest had bought the company.

While people who have a lot amount of money, it would be easy to buy a company, but Taihua company wasn't in a bad shape, they have no debt, and the previous CEO shows no sign of wanting to sell his company. Therefore the thought of the previous CEO letting an unknown young man to buy his company was strange.

Li Jun Wei's concern was somewhere on the other side. While there was a lot of people on the room, the new guest had set his gaze on him as if he knew him before entering the meeting room. But Li Jun Wei didn't know this person before. He only knew him from picture before— the picture that was sent from Ryouma Family. This man was Akasaka Haruhi.

For the person to come in person shows that whatever plan Akasaka Haruhi weaved for the past one year was about to get set on a start.

There was still ruckus created in the back, most of the people who don't know the man quickly scrambled to find answer, questioning one another if they know him before. But Li Jun Wei who knew the answer kept silent, letting the conference to start.

At that time, Akasaka Haruhi who watched Li Jun Wei's stillness in character grinned, his eyes curled in action and the malicious shadow covered his eyes.

Meanwhile, Li Lian who had decided to go back and sleep suddenly heard knocking on the door. It was late, and most people have fallen asleep. If it was Li Jun Wei, he would have entered without knocking as the rooms as their to begin with.

With the urgency from the person who knocked the door, Li Lian went to open the door, meeting the eyes of Bo Shiao. "Is anything wrong?" asked Li Lian with a faint frown when she noticed the lines of worry forming on the tips of the head butler's brows. She knew how the servant would never disturb her if it wasn't for an important thing.

"That's... mistress, Madam Li is here, she wish to meet with you personally." Before Bo Shiao came he saw some hint of disappoint and perhaps anger from Madam Li's face. And when he heard the elder woman asked for Li Lian, the butler had only nothing but negative thought.

Li Lian narrowed her eyes slightly, what could make Madam Li come here in a hurry. Li Lian had nothing to hide, almost in her life if one tells her to think what kind of negative thing she hid from others, it would take her time to think of one. But suddenly, she could feel her blood run cold. There was one thing she hid from others in the past and it didn't end well when people found out about it—and that was about Ryouma family. Remembering what happened last time, somewhere make her feel the deja vu and a bad premonition came on her. But that's not possible, thought Li Lian after some thought of calming herself, and she asked, "Where is she?"
