Chapter 855: 855
Xia Lei, Liang Siyao, Qin Xiang, Liu Zhengnan .
Liang Siyao was given the position as CEO of Thunder Horse Group . She was their first CEO too . Xia Lei was the owner of the Group while she was its manager . She had studied business management at Harvard . In the past, she had done a very good job of managing Thunder Horse for him . Now that she had returned, she was going to pick up where she left off .
Her return did not just bring that, her return brought Peace Mansion and Thunder Horse a woman’s touch .
Xia Lei announced Liang Siyao’s position at a high-level meeting . Some of the high-level members were shocked, some understood, but there was always room for discussion .
“Why has a CEO suddenly been appointed? She’s so young, and we haven’t met her before . ”
“It’s fine, do you know who she is?”
“Who is she?”
“She’s Director Xia’s first girlfriend . She even helped him with the setup of this company . She’s his sister disciple too . ”
“Oh, I see . I understand now . Hehe . ”
“She’s a prodigy from Harvard . She studied Business Management too . ”
“Yeah, don’t underestimate Miss Liang . She is actually good . ”
When Xia Lei announced Liang Siyao’s position as CEO, he knew he could not avoid some debate and odd glances . However, after some explanation, everyone agreed . Even if they didn’t, he did not care . This was his company, he could put whoever he wanted as the CEO .
After the meeting adjourned, Qin Xiang came to talk to Liang Siyao with a smile . “You’re finally back . I’ve been waiting for this day . ”
“Really?” They were quite close so they spoke casually . Liang Siyao said, “I hope that’s not sarcasm?”
“Sarcasm? You’ve always been the lady boss . I have always been impressed,” Qin Xiang said with a grin . “That man needs a woman with him or he’ll become too reckless . ”
“You’re hinting that I’ll meet problems, right?”
“Sharp as always . ” Qin Xiang leaned to her ear . “Doesn’t it bother you?”
Liang Siyao replied, “Hey, he bullies me and yet you’re not on my side . Plus you’re teasing me!”
“Of course I support you . I didn’t even support Shentu Tianyin, it’s always been you . ”
“Hehe, I like what I hear . ”
On the other side, Xia Xue pulled Xia Lei aside and whispered, “Brother, what’s going on?”
“What?” Xia Lei feigned confusion .
“You and Sister Siyao…” Xia Lei trailed off .
Xia Lei grinned . “Me and Siyao what?”
Xia Xue rolled her eyes . “Do you really want me to sound it loud? Are you and her together?”
“Is that bad?”
“No, I don’t have any comments . I’m just worried Sister Fan Fan will…” Xia Xue looked concerned . “Also, Tianyin and Ruyi won’t be happy . ”
Xia Lei smiled . “Don’t you worry . Our family is different from other families . ”
She pouted . “My family is a mess . ”
Xia Lei chuckled awkwardly .
“Fine, I’ll leave you alone . When I get back, I’ll call Tianyin and tell her about Siyao . We’ll see how she deals with you . ”
Xia Lei smiled bitterly . “Don’t you dare cause trouble . ”
“Then you don’t cause trouble! Last night, Zhengnan proposed . Although he didn’t say, I know it must be your idea . You’ve caused me so much headache . I must take my revenge!” Xia Xue looked mad .
Xia Lei was happy . “Tell me, did you say yes?”
“Could I have said no? He brought me his grandmother’s jade bangle, a bouquet of a thousand roses and said a bunch of romantic stuff . ” Although she sounded like she was unwilling, there was a sweet smile on her face . It was obvious she was super willing to go through with it .
“When’s the wedding?”
“Mid-autumn festival next year . ”
“Such a long time?” Xia Lei furrowed his brows .
She rolled her eyes . “Are you so worried your sister won’t marry anyone? Why are you so impatient? I’m still a university student . ”
“Fine, fine . Next year it is . I won’t hurry you both . ” Xia Lei smiled .
Xia Xue said, “If you don’t hurry us, I won’t tell Tianyin about this . ”
Xia Lei smiled bitterly . Even if she didn’t tell, Tianyin would still know . This was going to be a headache . However, his life was messy enough . So what if it was a little messier?
Liang Siyao walked in with a friendly smile . “Xiao Xue, you’re getting prettier every day . ”
“Hehehe…” Xia Xue couldn’t help but giggle . “Sis, you really know what to say . ”
Liang Siyao grinned . “I’m not your sister-in-law . Your real sister-in-law would be unhappy if you thought so . ”
“It doesn’t matter . My brother has already handed you his company . ”
“I can’t win this argument . I have something good to show you, come to my office . ” She grabbed Xia Xue’s shoulder and led her away .
“Brother, I’m leaving . ” They both left .
Liu Zhengnan came to Xia Lei’s side and said slowly, “Brother, they seemed to have become allies, should we both ‘forge a deeper friendship’ too?”
Xia Lei turned and stared at him .
“Uhh, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything, it’s useless . ” Then Liu Zhengnan left .
Xia Lei smiled and shook his head, returning to Peace Mansion .
Liang Siyao was back . The weight on his shoulders had lifted a little . He had a little more time to do what he wanted now .
The four women from the Knight Hospitallers were in a room . The windows were closed, the curtains were shut so outside could not look into the room . This didn’t stop Xia Lei . He used his left eye and suddenly, the doors and walls disappeared .
It was the Grey sisters’ room .
The four women were having a meeting .
Giovanna said, “One month has passed and we have not found where he hid the sacred relic . The leader will not be happy about this . ”
“Do we have any other choice? People are everywhere and we don’t know anyone . How will we look for it?” asked Rosa .
“Maybe we really can try the other way,” said Stella .
“Are you saying we lure him? Then make him happy with our bodies?” said Theresa .
“My goodness, even thinking about it makes me feel dirty . Let’s not talk about that anymore . I’m not going to pleasure him, ever,” said Rosa .
“Really? A few days ago I saw you eyeing him,” said Stella .
“Hey, what are you talking about? I was studying him for the reports . I think you like him, alright? I saw you staring at him, smiling, “said Rosa .
“Stop it, you two . Based on our agreement with him, we have to give him information on the FA headquarters in a months time . But we haven’t received any news from the headquarters . What should we tell him?” said Stella .
“Just say no?” said Rosa .
“How would that work? He's not a reasonable man,” said Giovanna .
Xia Lei coughed and walked in .
The four women seemed frantic but quickly regained composure .
Xia Lei knocked on the door . “Excuse me, is anyone in there?”
“He’s here,” Giovanna said in a low voice .
“Could he have heard us?” asked Stella anxiously .
“I don’t think so . I’ll open the door . ” Rosa walked over and opened the door .
He strode in and spoke, “I believe you know what I’m here for . It’s time to talk . ”
“Mr Xia, welcome,” greeted Rosa .
“I’ll get you some water . ” Giovanna quickly got him some water .
Stella grabbed a chair for him .
“You don’t have to . ” Xia Lei thought it was funny . “I’m not here to relax, we have to talk about the agreement . One month has passed . I need to know where the FA group’s headquarters are and when you all plan to act . ”
“We…” Giovanna laughed nervously . “Mr Xia, it’s like this, we are still waiting for news from them . ”
Xia Lei frowned . “Are you beating around the bush? I paid you all fifty million dollars, let you stay here, feed you food . Yet you show me such results! Are you taking me for a fool?”
“Mr Xia, drink some water, calm down . ” Giovanna passed him a glass .
He suddenly swatted the glass away .
Crash! The glass of water shattered on the floor .
They were stunned . Xia Lei had always been a gentle, civilised man . They didn’t know that he had a temper within him .
“Do you think I’m a patient man?” roared Xia Lei . “Let me tell you this, I’ll give you an hour to contact the Knight Hospitallers headquarters . I want to know where the FA headquarters are and your plans . Or you’ll never see your sacred relic . ”
“Wait, Mr Xia, calm down,” said Giovanna stubbornly . “Please give us some time . We’ll find it . ”
“Yes, we swear on the honour of the knights, we will definitely fulfil our agreement,” said Rosa .
“That's enough!” said Xia Lei sternly . “One hour, not one minute more! I’ll give you two choices- either pack up and leave or contact your headquarters immediately . I want to talk to your leader personally!”
“Mr Xia…” Giovanna trailed off .
He looked at the watch on his wrist . “You have fifty-nine more minutes . “
“How could you do this?” Rosa was furious too .
“Yeah, give us more time!” Giovanna looked angry too .
Xia Lei sat on the chair and crossed his legs . “You have fifty-eight more minutes . ”
“How can a minute pass so fast?!” Stella was annoyed .
“Yeah, a minute isn’t that short!” Theresa was annoyed too .
He smirked . “Time passes faster when I’m impatient . You have forty minutes left . ”
“You . . . “ Giovanna wanted to yell at him but couldn’t .
Three of them glared at him in fury .
“You still have…”
“Wait!” Giovanna cut him off . “I’ll call the headquarters immediately . ”
Xia Lei smiled . “That’s all I ask . ”
