Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 80 - Sudden Change

CHAPTER 80

In no time they arrived at the company and together. Ye Cheng and Li Jing made their way to the top floor using the elevator.

All through their way to the office, Li Jing did not speak a word to him and quietly observed everything that was happening.

By the time they got to the last floor, a lady dressed in a fitted knee-high, purple, off-shoulder office gown was standing not too far from a big door with the words 'CONFERENCE ROOM' boldly written on it.

As soon as she laid eyes on them, she stepped forward and greeted with a bow.

"Good morning, sir. Morning ma'am." Her gaze trailed over Li Jing, trying to access the spotless beauty beside her boss.

"Morning to you too," Li Jing politely replied her, showing off one of her gentle smiles.

"Morning, Han Qing Qing. Is everything set?"

"Yes sir. The meeting has only just begun. This way please," Han Qing Qing gestured for them to follow her.

Han Qing Qing took the lead and soon they were all standing in front of the big door. She turned the doork.n.o.b and pushed the door open before stepping aside for Ye Cheng to go in, followed by Li Jing.

Inside the big conference room, several people were seated on the chairs facing each other with a big rectangular table in the center.

Towards the end of the table, a man sat down on the only single chair facing everyone.

As soon as the doors pushed open, all heads turned towards the direction to see who was interrupting their meeting.

Hao Huizhong raised his head from the doc.u.ment in front of him and was ready to lash out at who dared disturb them.

"Han Qing Qing, what is the meaning of this? I thought I told you not to…"

At that moment, the words seemed to hang in his mouth the minute Ye Cheng stepped his foot into the room.

As soon as Ye Cheng and Li Jing stepped in, everyone's jaw hung agape at the sight in front of them.

Reasons being that, Hao Huizhong told them all that Ye Cheng was away on a business trip and would not be present for their meeting that day and he will precise over the meeting as the vice president of the company.

Immediately they all stood up, including their new business partners, to welcome him. "Good morning, sir. Welcome."

Ye Cheng did not pay any of them any heed and walked towards the far end of the table to the only chair overlooking others.

His eyes were locked on the one person he had waited these past few days to see. His face gave off no form of emotion, a stark contrast from the rage he was feeling deep within.

"Ye Cheng!" Hao Huizhong exclaimed as though he was surprised to see him. "You did not tell me you were coming. Welcome."

He stepped out from the seat and moved to the empty chair by Ye Cheng's right hand, paving way for Ye Cheng to sit down.

'Hao Huizhong, is that how desperately you have been waiting for my disappearance, that you jumped at any opportunity given? You couldn't just wait to hear I am no more before you a.s.sumed my position?' Ye Cheng thought.

Up until that very moment, Ye Cheng did not utter a word to anyone. He only turned to his side and met Li Jing standing at the other end of the table.

Ye Cheng beckoned on her. "Come and sit here."

He pointed to the free chair at his left-hand side which was two seats away from his with the tag, Financial Manager placed on the table in front of it.

Everyone watched silently at the drama going on and many had their gaze fixed on Hao Huizhong who still put on a smiling face as he watched on as well.

Following his order, Li Jing took her step lightly and headed for the empty chair. By the time she was standing in front of her seat, Ye Cheng felt satisfied and moved into his then sat down.

"Please, have your seat."

Everyone did according to his words and sat down.

The silence that engulfed the entire conference room was one that could be sliced through with a sword.

The atmosphere immediately became heavy and awkward as the aura emanating from their CEO was not one to joke with.

If before they weren't cautious, now everyone became extra cautious and some began to sweat in their seat. One of which was Hao Huizhong.

He was the least happy about how he was treated. This was his best friend, treating him as though he did not matter. It was a huge slap to Hao Huizhong to be ignored like that when other investors were there.

His gaze trailed off Ye Cheng and darted towards the lady that came with him, Li Jing. He took his time access Li Jing while waiting for Ye Cheng to speak.

'She is beautiful no doubt, but it is not like Ye Cheng to go after any lady. If not that I know, I would have thought that Ye Cheng was gay seeing that he had no interest in any lady except Qing Mei.' Hao Huizhong thought as he continued to stare at Li Jing.

Li Jing didn't knew her presence in the conference room would attract so many unwanted stares and murmuring.

Still, she wasn't affected by it as she even experienced worse while working in her father's company.

'No wonder I did not see the financial manager for this meeting. Is he planning on replacing him with her? Something is not right here. Ye Cheng must have found out something. That Han Qing Qing must have been in contact with him since.' Hao Huizhong mentally took note of what was happening.

"Good morning everyone. I apologize for being late and my absence all these while. First, I would like to say that all business deals beginning from today would have to go through me for proper checks and handling including this particular business."
