Ultimatum

"Bye Miss Liu, my mom is here. We'll talk later."

"Bye Chairman Duan."

The two exchanged goodbyes as the video chat came to an end.

"Yes Secretary Ou, you can send my mother in."

The secretary had knocked on his door and had to let herself in, only to see he was on a video chat with someone she couldn't recognize. Not surprising, since the company employed so many people from different departments.

"Okay, Chairman Duan."

The woman bowed as she left to open the door to let the mother of the Chairman of Cinopec Group into the office.

"Good morning Mom! What brings you to my office so early in the morning?!"

Duan Chengyu rose up to greet his mother, as the two held each other in an embrace, before finally parting from each other.

"I stopped by the gate of your house and noticed that you had changed the combination, is anything the matter?"
