Manners

'You think this child pay can stop me? Huf, dream on old man' she scoffed.

"Okay Tina, attend the weekly meeting for me and mail me the minutes. Arrange the shareholders meeting by 10. You can go now."

Tina nodded and swiftly left.

"Did you find who is he going to gift me?" ZouMi asked in a mocking tone.

"No, he is been secretive. He already guessed that you're not someone easy to be fooled."

ZouMi said nothing and rested her head on the chair. Si Ban wanted to say something but hesitated.

"You can say what's on your mind, Si."

"Zu... Can you be that old ZouMing, which I met?" He hesitated, this was a sensitive topic, he never dare to talk in front of ZouMing.

The closed eyes instantly open and shoot a look at Si Ban but said nothing. She turned around and looked at the sun for long through the window.

After really long Si Ban thought she wouldn't answer.

"That depends on the man laying on bed from the past four years." Her voice clearly was sorrowful and she looked lonely.

As for now her plan of revenge was being executed, her will of surviving couldn't be found.

"Zu, would uncle be happy if he sees you like this?"

ZouMi didn't answer, neither did Si Ban asked anything.

"Okay, I've to go now" Si Ban announced.

"How is everything on Ah Fen's end?"

"There is nothing to worry, he could handle. But... Regen is recently being out of control, you're not around to control."

"Hmm... Let's head back at the end of this month, everything will be settled by then."

Si Ban left after giving her a nod, the room fell in silence, she subconsciously reached the chain and held in her hand. She has been missing her father since past years, but now she is really dying to hear his voice.

She brushed the emotions in her heart and started working, after long her fingers typing on the keypad stopped by the announcement, "Zou, everything is ready, all of them are here and waiting for you."

ZouMi nodded and tied up her work, before heading out. She reached the meeting room in a matter of minutes, Tina opened the door for her, and she entered. The moment she entered she frowned, her eyes passed everyone and fell on a man sitting on the chair at the end of the room, with his face barely visible.

She said nothing and settle on her seat, she sat there like a Queen. Just as she sat, she was bombarded with questions.

"How can you this irresponsible, is this your work adequate?" one on the left asked.

"Yes, where is all the money we invest?" the second one joined, with equal dissatisfaction.

"You should've informed us before doing anything."

"If this goes on we need to eliminate you and hire a new CEO."

Compared to their fury, ZouMi was calm alike to a sea. She rested her hand on the chair, her legs crossed while her head tilted, her eyes closed.

"Now can't you even give us face? Are this your manners?" a cold voice was heard in the room. ZouMi opened her eyes and looked straight in his eyes, which send shivers down his spine.

"If anyone has a problem…" she singled Tina who was holding a bunch of papers on the side. Tina passed everyone a copy and stood beside ZouMi. ZouMi then continued,

"You can sign on the papers and leave. This is how I work, if anyone has a problem feel free to go out, the door is open." Her voice contains no warmth, in a firm tone she declared.

Followed by this there was silence in the room, many who raised their voices didn't say anything.

"This is why I didn't agree to your decision for making the company private back then." The same guy roared.

The moment ZouMi sat on the chair of the CEO years back, she turned her company private, which means no one can sell their shares to an outsider. The papers which Tina just handed everyone was transfer of their shares to ZouMi. She already knew, that uncle of hers could only play on the ground, and playing with company shares would be easy, and the guy just spoke, Nei Con, was her uncle's puppet. He worked hard to make some shareholders on his side, most of them are delusional, they would slide with any party where they find profit. Like what is happening now.

"Whether you agree or disagree to any of my decisions, we would still follow what the major say's. This is how I work, if you're patient enough you'll benefit, if not you can leave by signing the papers." ZouMi's voice was firm and strong, she paused and continued, "As for where is the money, you'll surely know soon. If this was all you wanted to say, then we'll end here. Good day." Without giving a second glance she stormed out of the office. On her way she texted someone, 'You know your way to my office'

She went straight to her cabin and sat on her chair with the file she was before.

A man dressed all black and his face barely visible walked in the silent corridor. All the secretary were shocked when the man knocked and entered the cabin.

"Hey, did I just saw a man entered our President room? Am I hallucinating now?" one of the secretary questioned.

"You're not the only one seeing things." Tina wasn't around, though ZouMi appointed five secretaries excluding Tina, none can enter her room. Only Tina, they were mostly Tina's assistants. They are working here for a long time, except of Si Ban and her two brothers no other man entered nor came in contact with ZouMing.

"Is he going to be our boss soon? Why did he hide is face?"

"Are you crazy? We are talking about President Ming, she can never love anyone…" They started gossiping, Tina who had just arrived after dealing with the shareholders heard this.
