Chapter 391 Beautiful Women

************

CHAPTER 391

It was already closing hours at Jiang Corporation. The workers were seemingly exhausted. The crisis that befell the company was a setback for them.

Although it was not too major, they still felt the impact. But who were they? They were the strong employees of Jiang Corporation.

They could not slouch or let things way them down. Their CEO was working very hard to help the company to get back on its feet. Since that afternoon, she has been leaving and coming back to the company due to different meetings that were scheduled with different companies.

From the little they managed to get out of Xia Xinyi, their CEO had even skipped lunch due to work. The employees begged her to make it her job to ensure that never happened again.

"Of course, it will not happen. I ordered her lunch before it was too late yesterday," Xia Xinyi told them.

"What about today? Lunch is already over," the employee asked.

"Sigh. Today was just so-so. I myself forgot to eat. But I have already ordered food for our boss. Can you give imagine we had a total of five long meetings today?" Xia Xinyi let out an exasperated sigh.

"What? Oh my. Boss is really doing her best."

"Yeah. I feel so sad and angry just from imaging a beautiful woman like her work like a man."

"Me too. Pretty when are supposed to be pampered. It is not like they should work but not too much."

"I wish I had enough money, I would have made her fall for me then I will treat her like the queen that she is."

"Xuan, Guo, Zheng. You guys and beautiful women," a female employee rolled her eyes at them.

"What? We are only stating the truth," Guo shrugged.

"Besides, it is not a new thing that we appreciate beautiful women in our society," Zheng added.

"We all know. But I ask you to take your eyes off our boss... if you do not want to be in hot soup," Xia Xinyi warned before she left their circle of gossipers.

"What does she mean by that?" Xuan asked the lady beside him.

"I do not know either."

In the CEO's office.

Bai Renxiang had just finished going through a document and appending her signature on the places necessary. She picked up another when the heard a knock on her door.

"Come in."

Xia Xinyi peeked inside the office before pushing the door wide and entering.

"Boss, it is already closing hours," Xia Xinyi reminded as she closed the door.

"I know, Xinyi. I still have three more of these documents to finish," Bao Renxiang said. Her eyes were still focused on the document.

"Oh, boss. You've done enough for today."

"Yet the result of my effort is just fifty-five percentage success," Bai Renxiang shook her head.

Even with the way she was working, their company's funds were not all too improving and some of the board members were pressuring her for solutions.

"Fifty-five per cent is fair, don't you think? If it's about the board then worry not. Those guys are just worried that their earnings for their shares will be reduced," Xia Xinyi pursed her lips.

"I know. But me doing more will also benefit the company," Bai Renxiang reasoned.

"Boss, with the way you are going, I'm afraid that you might fall sick. Mr Li will strangle me if that happens. Also, I don't want little master Jin to feel sad that you are not well because of work."

"I won't fall sick. I'm not that fragile, you know," Bai Renxiang playfully halted at her.

"Of course you're not that fragile. But I doubt Mr Li would want to see or hear that," the last part of Xia Xinyi's words came out in a whisper.

"I'm sorry. What did you say? I didn't quite catch it."

"Oh, nothing," Xia Xinyi shook her head and smiled.

"Okay. Since there is nothing, please excuse me. I need to finish this quickly," Bai Renxiang went back to work but this te she was on the computer typing.

"Boss, I came here because Mr Li called me. He sounded worried that you weren't picking up his calls," Xia Xinyi started the real reason she came to Bai Renxiang's office.

"What?" Bai Renxiang looked shocked.

"Yes, boss," Xianyi nodded. "You phone seems to be switched off, according to Mr Li. So he wanted me to tell you th–"

"Oh my God! How could I forget?" Bai Renxiang cut her off?

She quickly checked for her phone only to find it inside her purse on the office couch.

"Oh no," Bai Renxiang groaned.

She had forgotten to switch her phone back on when they arrived at the compmay after the last meeting that attended. Switching the phone back on, series of message notification dinged in her phone.

"Thirty missed calls from... My God."

"I'll start helping you pack your things now, boss," Xia Xinyi said before her feet and hands got to work.

Xia Xinyo knew that once her boss calls her boyfriend, she might get a love scolding. Also, she had delivered his message. It was up to her boss to handle the rest. Mr Li would definitely tell her to go home now.

Bai Renxiang did not seem to hear anything else right now. She just hoped that Li Fengjin would not be mad at her for not taking his calls.

In just the first ring, the call got connected Li Fengjin's worried voice came rushing into her ears.

"Renxiang. My love are you alright? Did something happen to you? How are you? Are you still at work? You're fine, right?"

"Sigh... Jin, I'm fine," Bai Renxiang assured him.

"Really? Why do you sound like that? Like you are tired."

"I'm not tired. I'm okay. I'm alright."

"Why were you not taking my calls then?" He asked.

"I–"

"You switched off your phone. You are still at work right? Your assistant told me."

'He is asking and answering at the same time. What does he want me to say now?'
