37. Pain in the a**

While Yang Ling and He Deming were running around like Tom and Jerry, Mu Jiang was having a headache. It's been days since Yang Ling left him without saying goodbye and his new secretary Lin Meimei is being a pain in the a**.😓

From the very first day, Lin Meimei was being ' Meimei this, Meimei that ', it took him a lot of energy not to trough her out.

Despite her nature, Lin Meimei is an excellent Secretary having good skills. If it were any other time he would have warned her or ignored her but after he remembered Yang Ling's reaction, his heart told him to just to her out of the window.

These few days his mother constantly nagged him by calling him and Lin Meimei home for lunch or dinner, he refused immediately and called his grandfather and told him to control his mother and not to bother him anymore.

He didn't feel any sympathy towards his mother whatsoever, hell he didn't feel anything towards her...anyway it is for another time.

Right now Mu Jiang ordered Ah Chen to keep an eye on Lin Meimei and fire her at any tiny mistake she does.

"Come in "

Ah Chen came in holding his iPad and asked very carefully, " Sir, Yang group called to set up a meeting"

Mu Jiang passed as he raised his head, her image flashed in his mind and he quickly said, " Set up a meeting before lunch and book a table in a nice restaurant for lunch"

Ah Chen nodded his head and was about to go back to the cabin to carry out the task when Mu Jiang told him to do it in front of him. Ah Chen looked at his boss's nervous expression and quietly called He Deming and conveyed the message.

"What happened?" Mu Jiang asked in an impatient tone.

Ah Chen adjusted his glasses and said, " They have to inform CEO Yang before replying it will take time."

Mu Jiang pressed his lips before looking at his watch. Ah Chen cleared his throat before saying, " I will go and inform you when I get a reply" he already turned and ready to leave.

Behind him, Mu Jiang called, "Wait here until you get a reply"

Ah Chen closed his eyes knowing his plan to escape didn't work and now he has to stand here like a statue for God knew how long. He felt like crying and silently prayed that He Deming would reply immediately and free him from this torture.😭

.....

Yang Group building.

He Deming and Yang Ling were staring at each other and both were out of their breaths. Yang Ling was holding a roled file and He Deming was holding a pillow in front of her like a shield.

Ring Ring

Suddenly, the silent yet the tense atmosphere was broke by He Deming's phone she answered her phone without looking at the caller's ID and sometime she ended the phone.

"Mu group arranged a meeting before lunch"

Yang Ling furrowed her eyebrows and murmured to herself " The meeting may extend and all the employees can suffer if they keep meeting so early "

She looked at He Deming and said, "Let them know that I am not available at that time and we can have a meeting at 4 pm so that even if it gets extended no employee feels uncomfortable.

He Deming nodded her head and was about to call back but seeing that she is distracted, Yang Ling pounced like a wolf but He Deming still escaped from her clutches and ran away completely forgetting about the call. The running lasted 15minutes long before she could call back..

....

Mu Group building.

Ah Chen was still standing like a statue and to top it Mu Jiang would look at his watch every minute and ask him if his phone is in a silent mood, or if it's better is dead. This resulted in him holding the phone and staring at it in a daze if the phone light is off by mistake Mu Jiang would remind him immediately. His poor soul was constantly praying He Deming's 18 generations.😭😭

Ring Ring

Ah Chen looked like a child who got his candy, he quickly answered the call and after some time he ended the call. He looked at his boss who was looking at him like a dog which is looking at his bone although his stomach twisted he still answered for the long-awaited question of his boss.

" President Yang is busy before lunch.." Mu Jiang dropped his eyelids like an aggrieved child😔. " But she asked if we could hold the meeting at 4 pm." Mu Jiang raised his eyes and looked at him quietly, Ah Chen feared if his boss was too sad to react just when he was going to call him.

Mu Jiang got up from his chair and sent a paper stand at Ah Chen's direction which the later dogged, " A fact that you couldn't tell me this early...hmph"🤬
