Chapter 14 - Hiring Talent(2)
" President, Your father is on the phone" Lu Xinyi told her.
Her Bà rarely called during office hours. But if he did it meant emergency and suddenly she did not wish to guess anymore. She took the phone and answered.
"Bà"
" Come home now Zini. Your grandfather's condition is serious" he said trying to sound calm but She could hear panic and helplessness in his voice.
"I'll be there soon Bà. Take care of him" She told him and hung up.
She was so angry, not with others but with herself mainly because she could not do anything to hold back her yèyè. Never, in her life, She'd felt awfully helpless.
She inhaled sharply and steadied her emotions. She couldn't deal with three people standing in front of her.
" Miss Lu, deal with them," She told her .
Lu Xinyi nodded.
" President Xin" A voice called her out and she turned to find the owner of the voice.
"P-President Xin, I can't act or sing" Xiaosheng stammered. Who the heck was asking him to sing with such a terrible voice.
"You think you belong to the entertainment industry" She snapped. She was not a tyrant boss it was just that he met her on the wrong day.
"Xiaosheng don't forget the job of paparazzo suits you better. My Secretary will notify you about your job requirements"
She walked out of the room and took out her phone and messaged Lu Xinyi
- Sign Zhang Han at any cost.
Zhang Han was a freelancer Musician. He was awarded with good looks and a voice that could even melt rocks. The man was a rare talent, according to Cao Feng's report, personal crises were compelling him to change his career. She did not care about his personal issues as long as he could help her earn money, lots and lots of money.
A few minutes later, She walked through the foyer of her office building and out to her car. "Good evening, Ma'am." Alex greeted her as he opened the door of her Audi.
" Alex, Xin Mansion in fifteen minutes. No less no more" She said and got in.
She sighed. Her life right now was like a soap opera. A fucking soap opera. She was not kidding seriously. An intriguing storyline with a Sick grandfather, a Single dad, a dead mother and the cherry on the top was her arrange marriage. The only thing it lacked right now was a scary Mother in law and drama queen best friends.
Her phone beeped.
Cao Feng
- Li Huang's nephew and du cooperation's Ceo have joined hands against you.
She sighed again. The Li family was desperate to meet its end. Now, what could she do? Then, they said She was ruthless.
Fifteen minutes later, She stepped into her home and her entered yèyè's room. Across the room, She saw Bà along with three doctors attending yèyè and a very unwanted figure. Sam Qin. A fucking nuisance.
She ignored him and hugged her father ,she could saw turmoil on his beautiful face. A sad frown on his forehead. She wanted to wipe out all his sadness and distress. He looked wonderful with his signature smile. The death of her mother had already created a void in his heart and nothing could ever fill that empty slot in his heart and She did not even dare to imagine how deeply yèyè's departure would affect him. Yèyè was his very first friend, guide, and supporter. He was his everything.
"He will be alright" he whispered. She didn't know who he was trying to assure, her or himself. She knew her yèyè's condition better. Medicine was not helping him anymore. They knew he could leave them anytime. He had everything one could imagine but what he did not has was time.
" Yèyè get better soon, please. I don't want to lose you too. I want you to walk me down the aisle with bà. Please yèyè" She begged him blinking away the tears. No, She was not crying. She couldn't, only weak cry, and She, Xin Zhenyi was no weak.
He exhaled heavily and She could see how much he was suffering. She could not even ask him to hold on anymore. How could she? Even Breathing was causing him pain.
"Z-Zin'er"
"Yèyè"
" Don't cry, my child. Your Yèyè is not worth these precious pearls" he said weakly.
" Who said I'm crying yèyè? See clearly hmmp! You are getting old " She refuted. She wanted to tell him that he was worth everything.
" You dared to call me old young lady? I have yet to see you getting married" he fired back. He was trying to infuse normalcy through his poor sense of humor.
"Then stay alive," She told him simply. The realization hit her, he wanted to see her married to Long Jie. If he wanted to see her married to long Jie, then he would absolutely see it. A fat big ass wedding. Nothing more nothing less.
"Zin'er" he called her again.
" Tell your brother to visit me. I don't want to die without seeing him" he said. Her brother, he was not here. How could shebnot notice it? she turned towards her father as if looking for the answer.
" He does not know about father's condition" he informed her simply.
Her eyes widened with the realization that they committed a mistake, no a huge fucking blunder to be exact. If there was one thing her brother hated the most it was being lied to. No one could save them from the catastrophe named Xin Ryuu.
