The Legendary Empress

"CEO Yang, we got an email from the higher ups of Hua De World and they have accepted our requested. We can now meet their president." Gu Sheng said as Yang Lingyun was getting ready for his upcoming meetings.

"Is it today afternoon?"

"Yes, sir."

"Then cancel the meeting with Chen Group today. Postpone it to some other date." For now it was more important for Yang Lingyun to meet the legendary president. Lately he had heard some rumours in the business circle that the president is a woman in her late 60s and was a notorious figure in Europe. She recently came back to China due to some family issues.

"Alright, sir."

After having lunch at his office, he left with his secretary, Lin Yueshi to got to Hua De World Entertainment company. He had received a VIP card so that he can go directly to the president's office by using the private elevator.

He was warmly welcomed by the executives and was lead directly to the president's office. He was asked to wait in the meeting room till the president arrived.

"We were told that meeting would start sharply at 2:00 pm, but your president is already 15 minutes late; this is not professional at all!" Lin Yueshi was clearly pissed that they were getting ignored by this president. Does that old woman have no basic decency? If CEO Yang lifted a finger then many big companies would fall down.

"Miss wait for few more minutes Miss Lin. Our president is on an important video call with an American business personnel which was delayed due to some unavoidable circumstances." An executive conveyed politely.

Yang Lingyun didn't like that the president was late, but he had waited too long to arrange this meeting and he wasn't sure weather he could make a request again any time soon. "It's fine, Lin Yueshi watch how you speak."

"I'm sorry, sir." Lin Yueshi hung her head low after being reprimanded. She didn't expect that she would be the one to get scolded instead.

Clinking of heels was heard, crisp and loud, one could easily guess the person wasn't in a good mood.

Xia Lihua strolled inside the meeting room with an air of confidence, akin to that of a queen. She was wearing a Dior blazer and black skirt with stockings that made her legs look long and elegant. Her steps were graceful and her aura could easily match Lingyun's powerful ambience.

Liang Sichen was behind her and they took their seats at the table opposite to Yang Lingyun and Lin Yueshi.

Whoosh!

"You're the president?!" The files that Yue Shi was holding landed on the floor.

Only few executives could enter the president's office and allowed on this storey. No way an mere artist like Xia Lihua could easily enter this mezzanine.

Lihua smiled at her before replying, "Yes."

"You are just an artist under this entertainment. This has to be some kind of joke!" Lin Yueshi was anticipating to see of this enigmatic face who was giving their business Emperor, CEO Yang a hard time, but right now she couldn't believe what was happening.

"I'm indeed an artist under Hua De World. I'm also the owner of Huā de shìjiè Entertainment. I wanted to keep a low profile and all my business matters are handled by my representative COO, Liang Sichen, but you exceptionally asked for my presence. I hope you have a good reason for it." Xia Lihua's voice temperament was very impressive. She looked drop-dead gorgeous in her professional attire and the sharp glint in her eyes enhanced her beauty.

Yang Lingyun was quiet since she had walked inside the meeting room because he was too stunned to speak.

"Well...uhm..." Lin Yueshi couldn't understand how to continue the conversation. Initially her boss had planned to ask the CEO to cancel Xia Lihua's contract, but now things were looking very different.

Yang Lingyun cleared his throat, unable to believe what he was seeing. "Lihua, if you have already established an entertainment company of your own, then why do you insist on being an idol?" He had already heard numerous stories of the Lengendary Empress, which means that Xia Lihua owned several other companies outside the country, the most prominent one being a luxury fashion house in the States.

"It's President Xia for you; please refer to me as such CEO Yang." Xia Lihua said politely, but she might as well have been mocking him. "We're not that close now, are we?"

Yang Lingyun was thrown off guard, making his lips twitch slightly. "No, we are not."

Liang Sichen had a big grin on his face as he watched the drama unfold. It was going to be a very entertaining to see two rivals go at each other's throats.

'Should I get some popcorn?', he thought.
