As soon as several minutes had pa.s.sed, Liu Yi ran in sweating profusely. He was too unlucky. In any case, he was the eldest young master of the Liu Family, one of the Five Grand Families, he could say what he wanted and he would have it, but he couldn"t take a luxury vehicle?
He had come to Liu Ruoxin, yet he could only rent a car. This caused Liu Yi to be furiously aggravated. If it were not for his father forcing him come to Fengan City, he wouldn"t have come to his cousin.
"Oh my, Cousin Liu, I"m really embarra.s.sed. If I had known earlier on, I would"ve bought a slightly bigger car. In fact, I was originally prepared to let Ruoxin take a car service, but she"s just a lone woman, and I would feel uneasy. Yan Tian saw Liu Yi coming in before saying quite apologetically.
"Hmph!"
Liu Yi briefly glared rather fiercely at Yan Tian, then took off his suit jacket. It seemed like it had truly been sizzling inside the rented car. His shirt had become saturated in sweat.
Yet as for Liu Ruoxin, she didn"t even pay attention to her own cousin. She was solely focused on playing around on her cell phone with her head lowered. It was unknown what game it was.
Noticing Liu Ruoxin"s uncaring appearance, Liu Yu continued to grit his teeth angrily. If he had known earlier, then he would"ve made his younger brother come instead.
"Hehe, Ruoxin probably has something on her mind. Please don"t take offence, Brother Yi. We"ve already ordered food, so it"ll be served right away. Have some water to drink first." Seeing that Liu Ruoxin didn"t say another word, Yan Tian poured a cup of water for Liu Yi quite cordially. Nevertheless, he had to tolerate his face.
Liu Yi wasn"t reserved. Over the course of his journey, he was extremely thirsty as well. He promptly took the proffered cup of water from Yan Tian and downed it in a gulp, yet just as he drank it, Liu Yi was scalded by the water, unable to speak and immediately spat it all out..
He was so preoccupied in drinking the water, that he hadn"t expected Yan Tian to have actually just given him boiled water. The scalded Liu Yi directly smashed the cup in his hand into pieces.
"Geez, see, take a look at yourself drinking it so urgently. The water is still boiling hot." Yan Tian looked at Liu Yi in much regret, but the fact was that his heart was bursting with joy. The one who was burned was you.
"You two…… Hmph!"
Having been scalded, Liu Yi pointed at Yan Tian angrily, but words were unable to come out, since Yan Tian had poured the water for him in "kindness". He wasn"t careful, so he was burned. Although he knew Yan Tian had done so deliberately, he was set back at a loss to speak this justification, and could only swallow his misgivings.
Soon, a waiter brought the dishes Yan Tian had ordered and served them. Things were still the same old same old for Yan Tian as he looked at the food, uncaring of anything else. He quickly picked him a big pile of food and even gave some to Liu Ruoxin in kindness.
Seeing the food Yan Tian had given her, Liu Ruoxin furrowed her brows, since Yan Tian"s chopsticks were wet with saliva. How could she eat this? Observing this, she didn"t care for the food he had picked, but for her to eat his saliva, what joke was this?
Due to Liu Ruoxin"s silence, Yan Tian didn"t speak with her as well. However, Liu Yi"s mood was extremely foul, moreover since he was angry, he couldn"t even eat, making the atmosphere of the entire room descend into silence.
"Right, cousin for what have you come today to find me for?" A good moment later, Liu Ruoxin had the priority to break the silence and asked.
"Hmph, could it be that third uncle didn"t tell you?" Liu Yi snorted coldly and said.
"What did he say? I forgot."
Liu Ruoxin naturally knew what her cousin had come to do, but on account of her extreme dissatisfaction towards himi, she feigned unawareness.
"Hmph, grandfather said your company keeps on having accidents as of late, so he called on me to help you with your job. This is grandfather"s intention."
Mentioning his reason, Liu Yi had then been moved by the lord of the Liu family. He knew if he had said it was his father or third uncle, Liu Ruoxin definitely wouldn"t leave him be. However, it wasn"t the same if the if the lord had relocated him. Overall, she wouldn"t be able to disobey the word of her grandfather.
"Heh, grandfather"s intention." Liu Ruoxin laughed coldly, hearing this. She thought to herself if it weren"t for her eldest uncle and youngest uncle embellishing the matter at her grandfather"s side, then she wouldn"t have a great heap of a mess. How could her grandfather possibly not be unconcerned about her? Her uncles even had the nerve to actually use her grandfather as a shield.
"Correct, this is precisely grandfather"s wish. If you don"t believe me you can call grandfather and asked." Liu Yi said quite a.s.sured with himself.
With regards to this matter, Liu Ruoxin didn"t have any means as well. Since her grandfather had made Liu Yi come help her, she could only leave him be reluctantly. If she drove him out, then her youngest uncle and oldest uncle would make an issue out of this anyway.
Mulling it over, Liu Ruoxin said solemnly: "If you"re to remain, then I"ll grant you the position of a department chief. I hope you can treat this job seriously. If I find out your ability isn"t sufficient, then even if grandfather let you come, I will force you to go back."
Liu Ruoxin had directly given Liu Yi the position of a department chief, since even no matter how she despised him, he was the eldest young master of the Liu Family. If she really just made him a normal employee, then it would be inexcusable. Her grandfather wouldn"t agree as well.
"Mhm, I"ll listen to everything that little sister says." Liu Yi hadn"t requested the position of vice chairman, since he knew for Liu Ruoxin to let him serve as a department chief was already quite good. Moreover, the privileges held by a department chief weren"t minor.
Subsequently, Liu Ruoxin spoke with Liu Yi some more about work matters, making Yan Tian unable to understand a single word. He could only lower his head and attend to his meal.
After Liu Ruoxin and Liu Yi had spoke no less than over an hour, they stopped. She had completely finished saying that which she had wanted to say at the restaurant. Upon returning to the company, she was unwilling to converse with him.
After lunch had pa.s.sed, and as soon as they returned to the company, Yan Tian had once again become an idler. Contemplating what to do, he planned to call Diana up and ask her about the matter of the blood jade. Since he hadn"t made contact with her last time, Yan Tian still hadn"t connected to her.
"Yan Tian, come over." Just as Yan Tian was preparing to give Diana a call, he was suddenly summoned by Liu Ruoxin.
"What"s up, Chairman Liu?" Under a situation with no outsiders, Yan Tian still had to call Liu Ruoxin as Chairman Liu quite sincerely.
"Right now, it won"t do for you to guard this location all day, now that Liu Yi has come. If he finds out my husband is doing nothing here the entire day, he"ll definitely tell my grandfather, so you have to do something." Liu Ruoxin said quite gravely and furrowed his brows.
"What do you want to make me do?" Yan Tian felt that what Liu Ruoxin said was within reason as well, however, he was quite curious in what she wanted him to do.
Liu Ruoxin thought it over and said: "How about I let you be a vice chairman? Or perhaps I"ll give you the position of a director."
Liu Ruoxin knew that Yan Tian"s degree of culture wasn"t low; he had graduated from Harvard University. It shouldn"t be any problem in letting him manage the company for a while.
Nonetheless, Liu Ruoxin didn"t know it to be so, but Yan Tian"s educational background was a complete decoration. Yan Tian himself didn"t even know several of the pinyin for chinese characters, however, in regards to foreign languages, Yan Tian was extraordinarily proficient. Since he had stayed abroad as a child, he definitely wasn"t dumb.
"Uhh…… Chairman Liu, in fact, I can"t manage the company." Yan Tian shook his head in embarra.s.sment once he heard of himself managing the company, thinking to himself if you called on him to fight and kill people, then he was a master, but if you called on him to manage a company, then it would truly be hard for him.
"What? You won"t manage the company? Last time when I saw your graduation certificate, you even said this was your major. How could you possibly NOT manage the company? I"m telling you, you have to work." Liu Ruoxin said, huffing in anger.
Liu Ruoxin was quite enraged after she heard Yan Tian. From what she could see, he simply didn"t want to work. When it came to Yan Tian not administering the company, Liu Ruoxin wouldn"t believe it even if she was beaten to death.
"Chairman Liu, honestly, my Harvard University background is fake……" Yan Tian felt he should at least be honest with Liu Ruoxin. It was no way to conceal it from her as such.
"Fake? Who are you lying to? Is it that you don"t want this job?" Liu Ruoxin naturally wouldn"t believe Yan Tian"s words, promptly standing up angrily.
Seeing that Liu Ruoxin didn"t believe him, Yan Tian rocked his head helplessly. Why was it that no one believed him when he told the truth these days?
"Chairman Liu, I think you ought to know what I am too, so it"s not unusual for me to have this graduation certificate. Actually, I don"t only have a Harvard University graduation certificate, but also the Yanjing and Tsinghua university ones as well." At this time, Yan Tian came clean.
"What? Are you kidding me?" Liu Ruoxin raised her brows and looked at Yan Tian incredulously.
Yan Tian spread his hands out quite helplessly. Presently, he had spoken the truth of the matter, and at most, Liu Ruoxin would teach him a lesson. She wouldn"t be able to fire him by any means, since he was still playing the role of her husband. If she drove him out, then she would"ve let the cat out of the bag as well, so he wasn"t worried one bit about himself.
