Chapter 7

"no chairman you got me wrong I did not….." before he could complete his words another sharp voice sound making him jolt in shock and fear cause listening to this voice could only mean one thing and that is he's going to get fired'

Everyone recognised the person walking towards chairman su, it was the most trusted and perfectionist personal assistant of the devil of their company president yan.

"I'm sorry sir you had to witness such a sight, I was fault of human resource department for hiring the staff. I assure you such incident will never take place again."

Grandpa su simply acknowledge it with a nod and said to xi yan,

"little yan lets go to my office I've got many sweets for you in there, alright so don't cry anymore."

Turning to li qian he said

"Ms. Li after you are don please come to my office."

With that the whole situation ended.

Back in the office, entering it xi yan immediately popped on the couch. Old master su entered the room silently and looked the door behind him. Sitting on couch xi yan caught his little movement and gulped looking at her old man with vigilance. Keeping his sight on xi yan old master su walked toward her with his walking crane in his hand.

Xi yan soon realised that situation was unfavourable to her and this was the calm before the storm. Trying to reduce the upcoming damage to her, xi yan hurriedly started explaining.

"let…let me explain, we can solve this without using violence , clam down grandpa." Xi yan had already started to move towards the door for escaping.

"what's there to talk! You dare to run away, do you know how worried I was when you suddenly disappeared. Do even care for me always running away without telling me!"

"I beg your highness please spar my life, I just went to school because professor john called me for an urgent research. It's not that I don't care for you but it's just I had no seconds to spare it was super emergency. You got to believe me grand pa."

"you think I will spare you, I don't care if it was your professor who called. You just saved your bones but don't even think of escaping the punishment."

Knock…knock…

There was an unexpected knock on the door which was like the life saving straw to xi yan. She hurriedly ran to open the door for the angle who just saved her life.

Opening the door it was li qian, seeing her xi yan was so happy that her knight in shining armour had arrived.

"perfect timing babe." Saying this xi yan

hugged li qian strongly.

"stop it president yan and I am happy to meet you again as well after you decided to vanish suddenly."

"qian qian why are you talking to me like that as well."

"I am not look I even brought you a gift boss" immediately li qian pulled in a trolley with a stack of black folders and pushed them towards xi yan. Looking at the pile of black folders xi yan's face paled and pointing a shaky finger at it she asked li qian,

"what is this, tell me it's not what I think it is."

"It is what you think it is boss, surprise!"

Looking at xi yan's horrified face grandpa su was in a super good mood and let out a hearty laugh which further annoyed xi yan and she sent a death glare at her traitor bestie. Controlling his laughter grandpa su gradually said,

"oh my little yan looks like you will be busy for at least a week, but I want them to be done by tomorrow evening."

"what do you mean grandpa, how do you expect me finish all this in one night, I'm not a machine !"

"I guess what you said is right a well, you even have a party to attend today evening, let's do this if you attend the party you can submit the work after a week but you must come office every day. What do say?"

"you are so bad grandpa, fine.....I'll go to the party."

"Not so easy little one, before you go you must promise me that you will be on your best behaviour and will not cause any more trouble for me."

"all right, but you must promise that you will not arrange any blind dates for 3 years."

Old master su was familiar with all of her tricks so he just gave her a meaningfull look, it made xi yan sure that something weird must be going in her grandpa's head.

Old master su rejected her request almost in a wink,

"no, 3 years are to much I can only give you a 6 months."

"pardon! Absolutely not, atleast it should be 2 years."

"3 months" grandpa su said with a sweet smile but it full of slyness.

"what! Impossible atleast…." Grandpa su cut off xi yan mid sentence again as usual.

"1 month! any more sentence and this deal is off."

Shocked xi yan could do nothing but agree with a heavy heart as she was the party B, the compromising and the one always on the losing end.

"I agree. you are a buisness man trough and through who doesn't give in to his own granddaughter."

"thank you my lovely xi yan, bye grandpa is going now, be sure to be there on time."

old master su left only leaving this statement behind as if trying to ran away from a calamity.

now that only xi yan and li Qian were left in the room the atmosphere in the room changed along with the mood of the boss and her assistant.

All the emotions on xi yan's face faded away. Li Qian looked at xi yan with seriousness and asked her,

"Did you find any new clues? is there any new discoveries?"

"No there seems to no clues of that neurologist, it's as if he never existed, not a single clue is to be found."

"why don't you try to issue a task on dark web for finding his whereabouts."

"you think I haven't tried that? I did but no matter the price or who tries to find no one has been able to get hold of him."

"xi yan try to find hacker zero, I have heard he is the no.1 hacker among all the white hat hackers maybe he could help. And what about that drug any new advances?"

"the research is almost completed only a few test are left after that testing could be started and it should be six times more effective and safe than current one."

"really is it true xi yan? it's a great news now that it is going to reduce side effects."

"only time can tell Qian Qian." hearing xi yan's tone li Qian could easily make out that she was not in her best state today.

"hey you slow poke come on cheer up everything is going to turn out better eventually. let's go shopping for tonight's party, don't you want loach of your grandpa's money now that he is making you work extra."

"you know me so well babe let's go."

xi yan and li Qian went to the biggest shopping mall for all those high class shopping maniac rich daughters and wives.

It was the gathering point for all the famous national and international brands and designer boutiques.

But a simple shopping spree to lift up the mood turned out to be pretty mood spoiling as xi yan and li Qian bumped in to the no.1 white lotus of the A city, Claire the soon to be bride of young master Zhou.
