She packed lunch for her Shengu and all the while driving to the office, she couldn"t help but admire him. She felt lucky to have married the man who was the CEO of her company and she felt lucky about the fact that he loved her madly. Perhaps she loved him more. She remembered the way they had met and chuckled. She had planned on leaving and had it not been that contract, she would have left the country and gone back to live as a model. She shuddered when she thought about living with Luciano. She thought what all she would have missed and thanked her stars for the millionth time.
When she reached the office building, even though the driver offered to carry the lunch box with him, she insisted that she would take it.
When Feng Xinying entered the building almost every employee that was over there bowed her. They didn"t know that Feng Xinying was the heiress. As she walked, she could feel that that the employees were seeing her in a new light. All of them were awed by her presence. People on the Xie Yuansheng"s office floor were stunned when they her walking inside. Until a few days back, all they saw her was, as the CEO"s head secretary and now not only she was CEO"s wife, she was the heir of the company they were working in.
Their jaws dropped. All of them started remembering what all they had done wrong with her or what all they had done right with her. All of them were scared to the extent that the entire floor became silent when they saw her walking out of the elevator. Feng Xinying walked past them with her head held high. From the corner of her eye she saw the cubicle where Yun Chen was sitting. Yun Chen looked pale. It was as if she had seen a ghost. Yun Chen"s throat dried but she bowed her head even when her eyes met with Feng Xinying for that split second. But Feng Xinying did not acknowledge her. Yun Chen knew that those were her last days in the company.
Cai Xin came to Feng Xinying with a huge smile and said, "Good afternoon Miss Xinying. The CEO is talking to some managers from Korea and he will join you in the next fifteen minutes."
"That"s fine Cai Xin," she replied with a smile and disappeared behind the doors of the office.
All the employees were extremely nervous now that the real owner of the company was sitting in the office.
Xie Yuansheng came in less than fifteen minutes after he saw the text from Cai Xin that Miss Xinying was waiting for him in his office.
All the way up to the office, he dreaded his next few minutes. But to calm his nerves, he took a deep breath outside his office doors and then opened them.
"Baby! Why have you got lunch for me? I could have eaten here. Why are you stressing yourself?" Those were the first words that came out of his mouth.
Feng Xinying frowned. "What do you mean Xie Yuansheng? I wanted to meet you and also wanted to surprise you with lunch!"
Accepting his fate, Xie Yuansheng said with a faint smile, "Sure baby."
When he sat down, Feng Xinying gave him a plate filled with his favorite sea ba.s.sa and rice. She lovingly took a spoonful and gave it to him. Xie Yuansheng opened his mouth slightly to take as little as possible. He chewed a little upon it and was shocked beyond words. This was one of the tastiest foods he had ever eaten. What had happened overnight? This time he opened his mouth wide to eat all that was offered to him. "Baby, this- this is the best sea ba.s.sa I have had in a long time!"
Feng Xinying smiled and gave him another spoonful. She had some from his plate.
"Thank you darling! I had to stand there and instruct the chef to make it properly. I wanted to prepare it for you with my hands, but unfortunately darling, I think I can"t stand the smell of raw fish now," replied Feng Xinying with her lips curved downward.
Xie Yuansheng looked at her and his face involuntarily split into two with an ear to ear grin. His wife is going to stay away from the kitchen for a long time now. He started laughing and could feel tears of joy in his eyes. Feng Xinying ate a spoonful and couldn"t understand as to why was he laughing. She just sulked a little and then pursed her lips. Xie Yuansheng thanked his baby internally. He knew he had to thank him personally that night.
She changed the topic. "I saw your interview on the TV. Congratulations on the share price increasing to the maximum limit."
"Hey! Its all because of you!" he replied with a smile as he stroked her hair.
"But Xie Yuansheng, I was nervous that Lim Chuen would buy the shares from the market the moment it would go low.
"I told you in the morning darling that no he can"t buy!" replied Xie Yuansheng.
"How come Shengu?" asked a wide eyed Feng Xinying.
"Well, you see that after the insider info fiasco, there has been a clamp from the securities commission that none of the major shareholders can sell or buy shares from the market. Lim Chuen knows it and so he could have tried to buy it using fake accounts or using his relatives" accounts. But we had gone one step ahead and already informed the commission to keep an eye on any of his nefarious activities," said Xie Yuansheng with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Also we are about to do something which is going to clamp down any such activity in the near future," he continued as he watched Feng Xinying picking more rice on the plate.
"What is it Yuansheng?" she asked with curiosity.
"If you want to know that, you have to come to the next meeting," he said with a mysterious angle.
