Xie Yuansheng didn"t want to meet Lim Chuen after he that incident. He didn"t want to see him, let alone meet him. He had given instructions to his secretary to not entertain any meeting with Lim Chuen. It had been a few months since his secretary had been denying Lim Chuen"s requests to meet Xie Yuansheng. Lim Chuen had already got a slight understanding about it. So that day Lim Chuen decided to go to the office early in the morning and catch Xie Yuansheng when he entered the main gates.
As soon as Xie Yuansheng was there, Lim Chuen ran after him. "Where have you been these days Xie Yuansheng?" he asked while running after him as he made his way to the private elevator. "I have an urgent matter that needs your immediate attention."
Xie Yuansheng did not reply. He pressed the b.u.t.ton to his office floor and looked up at the numbers being displayed on the display of the lift.
But Lim Chuen was very stubborn. He continued to talk, "Your secretary hasn"t given me any appointments with you. Do you know how many times have I tried to contact you in the past few months?"
Xie Yuansheng looked at his watch and then kept his hands in his pocket. He listened to Lim Chuen and then stepped out of the elevator. As he walked towards the office, his secretary, Cai Xin, came to him and handed him all the doc.u.ments. Lim Chuen tailed them both. The secretary told him about his daily schedule while Lim Chuen listened to them as he followed them in the office stubbornly.
"Sir, I am sorry to say that the CEO is very busy at the moment. You can meet him once you have taken the appointment," said Cai Xin to Lim Chuen trying to discourage him into entering the office room. Lim Chuen ignored her completely. Not able to ward him off, she stayed quiet. The secretary stayed there for almost half an hour before she left and closed the door.
Lim Chuen took the opportunity and said, "Xie Yuansheng, I have heard that you are considering the option to convert the Feng Conglomerate into a private limited company. How can you do this? This will restrict its right to freely sell shares in the market. If you will do this I will challenge your decision in the court."
Xie Yuansheng took a deep breath and said, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"What do you mean Xie Yuansheng? This is a big decision and you cannot take it on your own unless the entire board has approved of it," retorted Lim Chuen. At first his secretary tried to ward him away and now he was trying to play smart with him. How dare he?
Xie Yuansheng was getting irritated by his presence. "Lim Chuen, every decision that we are going to make in the future will be for the benefit of the company. Obviously all the board members will pa.s.s it and then only we would go ahead with it. However, currently there isn"t any such thing we have in mind. From where have you heard this piece of news? Now that you have told it to me I feel that it is a fantastic option!"
Lum Chuen cursed himself for even mentioning this thing. There were a thousand other things he wanted to talk about, but this came first. "Well, I heard it from reliable sources…" he blabbered.
"In that you should check those reliable sources again, because we haven"t heard anything about it. I will sue each and every one of them for spreading information without any basis," replied Xie Yuansheng.
Lim Chuen became anxious. He had actually heard it from very flimsy sources but didn"t know what to say when Xie Yuansheng asked him so blatantly. "What I mean is…"
Just as he was about to say anything else, Xie Yuansheng received a call from Feng Xinying. He held his hand high in front of Lim Chuen as if asking him to stop speaking. "Hi darling!" he said. Then he kept his hand on the phone"s speaker and looked at Lim Chuen and asked, "Is there anything else you would like to know. I have to speak with my wife."
Lim Chuen gritted his teeth. "No… I will come again tomorrow. There are way too many important things."
Xie Yuansheng shrugged and removed his hand from the phone"s speaker to talk to Feng Xinying. Lim Chuen left the office.
"Xinying, how are you my fairy? How is my baby? I hope you are eating well." Xie Yuansheng said as soon as Lim Chuen was out of the office.
"I am fine and so is your baby," replied Feng Xinying with a chuckle. "Why do you call me your fairy?"
"Because you are the only woman whom I have colored my colors. I think you are the fairy queen that both of us used to find when we were younger…" he replied remembering how they used to build castles in the sand and become the king and queen…
Feng Xinying felt as though she was remembering something. Fairy queen…? Was there something that she missed? "Shengu, please answer my question…"
"What darling?" he asked tenderly.
"Why do I feel so much affection for you? I feel there is a missing piece that is yet to be fitted between you and me… there is something you know and I don"t… Why do I get emotionally tangled?"
"You tell me darling. Are you my fairy, my queen or my love story?" he replied. Even though he had all the answers, telling her anything was just not an option.
Feng Xinying replied, "Why do we get pulled to each other? Why do we love each other so much? Do we know each other from our past life?"
Xie Yuansheng smiled. "No… we know each other from our childhood, Yini."
Feng Xinying thought that he was saying that he knew her from their high school but he meant that he knew her when she only three. Then suddenly again flashed in her mind, "Yini!"
