Chapter 113 - Simple conditions

Even with the help of Mei Xiu Jing Lihua couldn't succeed in feeding the white cat. They had tried all sorts of things but still failed. "Little kitty, if you continue to be naughty, I'll name you Fussy." She sighed putting down the cat. "I don't understand it, why is she acting like this."

"The place is new to her. She might take some time to get used to it." Mei Xiu put back all the types of cat foods they tried.

"What do we do now? Could it be that she is sick? Homesick?"

"President maybe we can just ask about her diet from her previous owner?" Mei Xiu suggested.

"Good idea." Jing Lihua immediately dialed Li Zhiqiang's number. But he didn't pick up. Jing Lihua felt an uneasiness creeping into her heart. "Maybe he is just busy." But he hadn't ever ignored her call before.

...

That day Jing Lihua was late for her office. After much effort, they finally managed to make that fussy cat eat something.

"What is the status with Fu Jianguo?"

"We found out his location. We have already sent out men to rescue him." Mei Xiu briefed enthusiastically.

"So fast?" Jing Lihua was surprised. Only yesterday, she had returned.

"We received a helping hand from some people under the Li empire. With their means, it was no hard job to get to him. Yesterday they proposed their help as a sign of goodwill between Li empire and Tang empire." Mei Xiu was quite excited about the part.

Jing Lihua smiled, thinking about Li Zhiqiang. "So thoughtful." Even though she would have gotten to Fu Jiangu eventually, it would have taken some precious time from her.

"Other than that at Qin Jua company, Qian He, the second shareholder with nineteen percent shares is creating trouble. He has grouped up with other minor shareholders and turned them against the cooperation with Fu Jianguo."

Jing Lihua frowned. She kept silent, thinking about everything. Then she laughed. "The Su empire seems quite active. Looks like the new President is in for some competition."

It was not needed to say that Su empire had collaborated with them, probably bribed them with golden offers to go against Jing Lihua. It couldn't be anyone other than them. Both Jin Lihua and Mei Xiu knew that.

"President, this morning I received a report that the members of the board are going to have a meeting this afternoon. They are planning to rise the employees against you. They intend to disrupt the normal functioning of the company and demand to take back the contract with Fu Jianguo. If you deny, they plan to go on a riot."

Suddenly Jing Lihua rose. "Well then, it would cause bad rumors if the Chairman isn't present at such an important meeting." Jing Lihua's lips curled up into a smile.

"President, you are not planning to go there!" Mei Xiu was worried that this might be a plot. They could humiliate Jing Lihua or worse. Things were very heated at the company.

"I'm exactly going to do that." Jing Lihua laughed at Mei Xiu's worried expressions.

"But President things are extremely heated now. How about we wait for a little before the things settle down?" Mei Xiu thoughtfully suggested. Ah! President was too dangerous. She was sure no one could touch a hair of her President but still, Mei Xiu was worried. Especially after the incident at the restaurant.

"I'm not going to negotiate with them Mei Xiu. To stall for time is their purpose. I must not let them succeed. Now that all the minor shareholders are gathered, I must show them with whom the actual power of the company lies. They must not forget I'm the chairperson and the power of decision making lies with me. I must strike the iron while it's hot."

"And what if they disrespect you?"

"This is the exact time where the files Heng Bingwen meticulously compiled against Qian He is going to work."

Mei Xiu suddenly lightened up. "President, let me accompany you!" She didn't want to miss the face-slapping of those traitors! But Jing Lihua mercilessly burst her bubble.

"No, you won't." Jing Lihua denied. "Stay here and look over the things. With Heng Bingwen not here, you are the only other person I can trust. Besides, I might end up requiring you help from the office." Having left no room for discussion Jing Lihua left for the complex of Qin Jua company.

Wang Yi was with her during the ride. As the approached the complex, Jing Lihua looked around and frowned. "They chose such an open spot for a meeting. In fact, holding the meeting at the company's conference hall. How courageous of them. But still, if you give it a second thought, If they were going to rebel against me, they should have chosen a quiet spot so I wouldn't get any news of it. But they didn't. What does that tell Wang Yi?"

"That they deliberately did all that. If they wanted, they had the ability to keep the afternoon meeting a secret. but they created such a big fuss. The reason is clear. They wanted you to come to the conference hall today. They must have already arranged something against you." Wang Yi said.

"Excellent." Jing Lihua's impression of Wang Yi improved. The young lad might look like all muscles but he had brains too. "You know what to do then?"

"Yes, President I'll keep up my guard all the time." Wang Yi puffed up.

Jing Lihua chuckled at his response. Jing Lihua climbed out of the car and walked towards the conference Hall. When te reception lady caught the sigh of Jing Lihua, she immediately picked up her phone to dial a number but Jing Lihua gave a signal to Wang Yi.

wang Yi immediately grabbed the phone from her hands and broke the connection. Jing Lihua walked to the terrified woman.

"If you are wise enough, you'll know which side to choose. They might have threatened many of you. You might be afraid that if you go against them, they will target you but trust me being targetted by me would be far worse them being targetted by them." Jing Lihua had a calm smile. "But if you don't give me a reason to target you, I can also protect you."

Her conditions were simple.
