Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 27 - Suspicions

CHAPTER 27

"Han Qing Qing, it’s me." Ye Cheng’s calm authoritative voice broke her out of her high and she gulped when she realized who was on the line.

"Boss! Sorry sir. Good evening." Han Qing Qing quickly apologized for her informal way of speaking to her boss just now.

Irrespective of whether it was on work days or not, Ye Cheng expected nothing less from his workers if he put a call across to any.

Funny enough, they may all not know t, but their boss had everyone of their numbers in his second phone and email account.

So, it was not hard for him if he chose to reach anyone, be it the janitor or the financial director or anyone.

"Hmm," his lips curved up into a smile at her behavior. He wouldn’t expect anything less from her.

Although he was the lovely CEO, but he could also be so cold at times, giving his workers the no nonsense feeling. Everyone tried their best to stay away and not get on his angry side on days when he wasn’t happy.

No one wanted to be scolded or even get something worse, thus it made them vigilant and meticulous about their jobs.

When she did not hear his next reply, she decided to ask a question before the line went dead or something. "Sir?"

"Speak."

"How is your vacation sir?"

"Vacation?" Ye Cheng sounded shock by her question. He was least expecting that from her. What vacation did he go to?

Why would he go on a vacation when there was business meeting s that needed his attention and he clearly recalled telling her he would come to the office on Saturday to finish up loads of work and she should be there as well.

"Yes sir," she replied him and paused, then quickly continued. "May I ask where you are? You left all of a sudden on Friday and you said you would be back on the weekend but you didn’t come, are you alright?"

Ye Cheng did not answer her question. He was still processing what she just said when her next words broke him out of his thoughts.

"Vice president Hao Huizhong said so when he called on Saturday to ask me for the new proposal and some files. That was when I asked if he had seen you and if you would still be coming."

Han Qing Qing had found it strange that the Hao Huizhong would suddenly ask for the new bidding proposal when he knew clearly that Ye Cheng said he would handle the business deal himself.

But since he told her he went for a vacation and that Ye Cheng asked him to handle things while he was gone, she finally agreed to send them to him.

But before she did, she had put a call through to Ye Cheng several times, but he did not answer the call and at one point it was no longer reachable. With no choice left, she sent it to Hao Huizhong.

’Oh, now it did make sense. Perhaps not to inform anyone about my missing case, he lied to her. That is good, but wait... the bidding proposal?’

All of a sudden, he put back on his cold demeanor and spoke, "Can you access your mail where you are?"

"Y–Yes boss."

"Good. Forward all the files to my work email and to my private email, then keep your phone on, I would send emails back to you."

"Yes sir."

"That would be all and remember, no one is to know about this, my call and the emails." Ye Cheng warned her sternly.

"Absolutely sir."

Beep!

The call went dead after that and Han Qing Qing heaved an exasperated sigh. A huge part of her knew something was wrong. That proposal wasn’t due anytime soon, yet Hao Huizhong still asked for it.

Whatever it was, she knew telling her boss now was the right thing. She could sense the shock from his voice when she asked about his vacation.

She had done that intentionally to see his reaction and test if truly Hao Huizhong was lying and from his change in tone, she knew something was definitely not right.

She turned around and walked back to her room. Initially she had left when she noticed it was her boss that called and for him to call her when it wasn’t work time like this, meant it was urgent and important.

She met her boyfriend still lying on the bed and smiled to him.

"Urgent work calls, I would be back in a while." With that she walked over to her pick her laptop from her desk and left the room still clothed in her night robe.

Ye Cheng dropped the phone and his wind seemed to drift off in his thoughts.

’Hao Huizhong was to have gotten to the harbor a few minutes after I did and would have joined the fight, but then again he didn’t arrive. Perhaps it was due to traffic or something, but why would he ask for the bidding proposal when he had not confirmed I was dead. Shouldn’t he be out there searching for me?’

No matter how he saw it, something seemed fishy about the whole thing. But then he tried to think that maybe...just maybe he wanted to hang on to it for him, to prevent it from entering the wrong hands.

**Flashback Ends**

Last night he had spent a lot of time going through both of the proposals, the bidding and the new one that involved this money problems Li Jing found out about, as well as every other meeting and partnership investment.

After much chats via his email with her, he found the loop hole and everything Li Jing said. Luckily, that very morning, a meeting was to hold between the said business group.

He had asked her, his personal secretary to record the meeting and be online to relay necessary information about the meeting to him that was why he asked for Li Jing’s laptop again.
