Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

-President’s Office, Vintage Gems-

Xu Mey still had a beautiful smile on her face when she entered her office. Qin Hao was surprised beyond words.

"I asked you to look into Mr. Jacob?" Xu Mey inquired Qin Hao. She was curious about what animosity he could possibly have with Xu Liqing?

Qin Hao placed his tablet on the table and stood to a side with his hands clasped before him. "I have done my research on Mr. Jacob. This report contains everything you needed to know."

Xu Mey picked the tablet and scrolled through it. She frowned after a minute of reading. "This fatty is Mr. Jacob?" Xu Mey pointed at the photo on the screen. The man in the picture had mix-features. A bit fat with his short height, he looked extra fat.

"Yes, Boss!" Qin Hao replied. Xu Mey nodded and didn’t comment any further.

"Go, get busy with something." Xu Mey shooed Qin Hao away before looking at the report with extra care. The report had vivid information like;

Name: Jacob Chu

Age: 38

Company: Glow Gemstones

And things like he grew up in New Jersey, has a wife and a daughter. A very low-profile and family loving person. The rest was unrelated. Xu Mey couldn’t find a single reason for him to be hostile towards Xu Liqing.

In the end, she shrugged her shoulders saying, "Only time will tell what’s your deal." She closed the report and went to the Store designs for the Paris branch.

On the other hand, Ye Jie’s day started with a bang. Everything was falling into places. He felt like walking on clouds. The news about him and Xu Mey spread like wildfire in the entire company and naturally, Ye Jun heard about it as well.

He was pleasantly surprised. But how could he leave such an amazing chance to tease his brother? He walked inside Ye Jie’s office after knocking but without waiting for a reply.

Ye Jie looked up from the file in his hand. "Bro, you’re moving faster than I thought." Ye Jun’s words made him frown. Ye Jun sat in front of him. "I mean to say, how did you manage to get sis-in-law to give you a ride?"

A smile tugged at the corners of Ye Jie at the memory of it. "She offered herself." He replied honestly.

Ye Jun was shocked. "Really?" Ye Jie shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

Ye Jun had a thoughtful expression. "You guys seem to be getting closer."

"It looks like it." Ye Jie said looking out the tall windows.

Looking at his brother’s face, Ye Jun asked, "Bro?" Ye Jie looked at him. "Are you happy?"

All that mattered to Ye Jun was whether his brother was happy or not? If Ye Jie was happy then whatever that video showed him had no concern with him anymore. It didn’t matter anymore what the truth behind that video was. What mattered was that Ye Jie was happy. And he remembered his brother’s words clearly, ’She’s with me. She’s real. That video. I wasn’t there. So, I won’t judge my wife for that clip.’ He couldn’t get that out of his mind at all.

Ye Jie stayed quiet for a minute. "How to say this to you, Jun? I’m not happy." Ye Jun scowled clearly not happy to hear that. "I’m more nervous than happy. You silly brother of mine."

"Why are you nervous?" Ye Jun asked.

"Isn’t it obvious? I’m nervous because I don’t know if I’m giving her as much happiness in return as much she has brought to my life?" He took a pause. "And I’m also excited. Excited to think about plans to return that happiness. I’m anticipating her reaction when she sees my surprises." He smiled widely with content.

Love is an emotion that brings the feeling of nervousness along with it. We can’t escape the nervousness. Because the presence of this feeling is like proof of how much the other person means to you. When you love someone dearly, you get excited and happy in their presence but you also feel nervous.

Ye Jun was stunned to look at his brother. He looked like a lovestruck man. "You’re whipped, bro!" Ye Jun asserted in a low voice. Then he smiled looking at his happy expression.

’I never thought, you’ll be able to make my brother smile like a lunatic, sis-in-law.’ Ye Jun shook his head as he thought. ’You’re just on a whole different level. Hats off to you. I need to treat you to a meal, now’

After dilly-dallying for a while, Ye Jie came back to business. "What about our team?"

Ye Jun scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Bro, I’m trying to get some players but it’s a bit difficult at the moment."

"We’ll lose investments at this rate, Jun." Ye Jie rebuked him in a low voice.

"I know... I know... But bro, I think we need a Strategic Planning Manager... And an experienced one at that too... It will help ease both our burdens." Ye Jun suggested. And Ye Jie carefully thought about his suggestion with seriousness.

He was already more than familiar with the fact that he or Ye Jun couldn’t possibly devise the strategies for e-sports. What they needed was an experienced person in their team. All the experienced employees they hired before only had an idea of how this business worked but none of them actually worked with a professional team in action. But finding an experienced person was like 9 cows and 1 strand of cow hair. [1]

At this point, he really needed someone to share his burden. "I’ll look for someone experienced but in the meantime, focus on your task. Don’t mess around." His voice was stern as he gave Ye Jun a look. Ye Jun nodded his head and took long strides to run out of his brother’s office.

Ye Jie was engrossed in his thoughts when his phone buzzed at the table catching his attention. Ye Jie stared at the screen flashing with a caller I’d: Private Number.

Ye Jie frowned as he started for a while at the screen before deciding to take the call.

After the initial silence, a deep, lazy but alluring voice transmitted from the other end, "I believe I’m speaking to Mr. Ye Jie."

Ye Jie was surprised at how beautiful that voice sounded. He composed himself and replied, "This is Ye Jie and May I know who am I speaking to?"

"I’m the person you’re most curious about." Came a scrupulous reply.

"Excuse me?" Ye Jie wasn’t enjoying this guessing game. But the next confab made his eyes widened as he was left stunned.

"Don’t tell me, you’re not the least bit curious about the person who sent the wooden box to your wife which you received with your own hands."

[1] ’9 cows and 1 strand of cow hair’: It indicates something that’s so small that it’s like one strand of cow hair among 9 cows.
