Offer To The CEO

116 Charity

Wednesday, continued ...

Rather than going directly home on leaving Ji Feng's office Hou Yi headed to his own and called Assistant Wang into his office, to deal with pressing business matters

The last thing he did, before he left was provide him with the details for Jodie Hughes, so that he could commence the process to obtain the necessary visas she and her soon to be husband required.

With that, he left the office and returned home, wanting to make sure that Anna was OK.When he arrived home, she was sitting having a hot drink in the lounge.Hou Yi walked over to Anna and sat down.He asked, "How are you?"

"I feel a lot better now that I am home.I have received the orders and the court decision, which I need to print out, but otherwise got everything ready to hand over the documents.I just have to find the right time."

Hou Yi realise that she had placed her tablet and laptop on the table in front of her, and he looked at Anna wondering what she was up to.

"Yi, while siting here I have thought about something you mentioned in passing on Friday.I have done some research and it showed me little support exists here in City T for victims of domestic violence.If you are willing to, I want to do something to help.If I can help victims to get the courage to leave and seek support, then I want to do it.Do you know how I can do it?"

"Honey, there is a small refuge here in the city that I have helped personally support, but they receive little other support.It is difficult for them to use me help fund raise, as I am a man, and their clients are all women.So I have simply stayed in the background, and provided some financial support."

Hou Yi paused, as if thinking of an option."What about, through the Public Relations department, we release a media statement that confirms that I have married, but omitting your name.We will then state that as my wife you will be entering into fundraising to assist the victims of domestic violence.We can put into the release the details of the abuse you suffered, and make it clear that the reason for sharing your story is to prevent is not only to prevent this from remaining hidden, but to encourage victims to tell their stories and get help.

"It would announce, that Hou Enterprises care making donation to kick start the campaign for services to assist victims, and mention the service that I have personally been supporting.We can set out that you intend to start serious fundraising, and will be looking to form a committee to help you.

Importantly the release in telling your story, will give enough information so that when you personally serve him with the court papers, people will start to re-examine his actions and personality."

"Sounds like a good idea.I am being charitable, but at the same time indirectly I am telling the elite society here in City T about how he behaves."

"To do the press release with the public relations department, how do you want to go about it?"

"I had the thought about that.Do you have meetings in your office tomorrow?"

"Yes, but I can move them to a meeting room, why?"

"I figured that I could be in your office, communicate with them via email, but one trusted person within the department can come back and forth to talk to me about the release."

"Can be done."Hou Yi paused and knew that he had to confess about the conversation he had with Ji Feng.

"I have to confess something.When I was in the office, Uncle Feng spoke to me, stating he thought something was not right.I ended up rather than telling him the whole truth, and I am so sorry about this, told him about what that b**tard of an ex put you through.He told me I needed to support you, which you know I will, but gave me the idea that maybe we need to consider getting you some professional assistance to help.I am not going to push, it is your choice if we do this.If you want to let me know what type of help you want, and I will arrange it.He suggested I might contact a visiting university friend, Phillipa Chen, who is a psychologist to see if she can help."

Anna looked at Hou Yi, realising that he was so worried that he had done the wrong thing and was only trying to help."Yi, do not worry about your discussions with Uncle Feng.Just let me think about thing."

Anna, otherwise sat relaxing, while Hou Yi, picked up his mobile and contacted Ji Feng to locate a trustworthy person in the public relations department, to assist Anna tomorrow.Once this was done, he made arrangements for them to have a light dinner, and they drifted towards their suite for bed.However, he made sure that Anna's tablet and laptop were placed securely in his office.

Meanwhile, unknown to Anna and Hou Yi, the two spies within the household overheard some of the conversation, so determined that the needed to tell Yang Lin about this.Their problem was that they their hours for the next few days would require them to remain within the staff quarters.That night when the finished for the day, the quietly discussed how they could get word out.The both realised that the earliest would be Friday night after the Young Master and Madam left for the charity function.
