Savage Queen's Secret

Chapter 27 - The Old Secretary (Part - 1)



Si-ting gasped, his entire body become petrified, he was left with his thoughts and his expression remain unchanged for a while.

It was a shock for him, since the first time he met Mr. Luo, he got kicked out right way. He can't relate to the situation and was baffled.

"Why am I being kicked? Have I wronged him in my past life?" he thought, his smile still lasted and once it faded away, he came back to his sense and got up.

Hesitantly he stared him and asked, "What's the matter Mr. Luo, we haven't even introduced ourselves properly and you are asking me to leave".

The man in front of him had pointy eyes which looked more scary with his serious expressions. He had beard on his chin and his small brown hair looked almost invincible.

"Its not like you are here to ask for my son's hand for marriage, so what's the need for introduction. Now get going," he said vigilantly.

Si-ting gasped, his eyes stared back at the young man who showed him the way and rather then worrying about being kicked out, he thought.

"So, is he the son of Mr. Luo?".

He again panicked as Mr. Luo glare burned a deep whole in his mind.

"Mr. Luo, you might be misunderstanding something! Let's have a seat and talk," he urged while smiling forcefully.

He took a step inside with his heavy leg, "What's there to misunderstand? Your company kicked me out and at that day, I gave my word that I will never step inside even if they beg me".

Si-ting trembled, he was being feeling pressurized by Mr. Luo chilling vibe. He smiled while stuttering at the same time and gasped.

Mr. Luo's son smiled at him cheerfully, but Si-ting dodged it to keep his heart safe. "What should I do now? If he will kick me without giving me a chance, then I will lose in my first task,"

he thought while looking down with his puppy eyes. "No Si-ting, if you will give up now, then you will end up loosing every time, now stop looking down and attack him with your cute eyes," he thought and encouraged himself.

His eyes now stared at Mr. Luo, continously staring for a long time, it worn out and lastly he gave up with the cute act and started his plan -2. The plan-2 was about to attack him with flattery.

"Mr. Luo, you must have know that the President of the Lin company is changed. Our new boss is very enthusiasm and want you to work for her, she knows very well about your potential and how you used to work in the Lin company before. She even told me that you have won in many contest as the secretary and brought chivalry to the company, please Mr. Luo, come with me".

His words ended but the silence remained, rather then becoming soft hearted after hearing the flattery, he glared Si-ting intimidatingly.

Si-ting nervously toyed with his fingers, his eyes fixed at Mr. Luo but mind fixed at the third plan. The third plan was the last one and that was to beg him with everything he have got and he kneeled down.

"Sir, even if you don't want to come back, please at least meet my boss after that I won't bother you," he said while looking down, his eyes shut.

Mr. Luo eyes shined evilly and he shouted, "Are you looking down at me? If your boss really wants me to work for her then she should come and beg herself, why would I go to her for no reason. Don't you know how business is down".

Si-ting sweated, his eyes down and he was nervously biting his own lips.

"No Mr. Luo, we know how to do business, very well! And that's why I am here," a voice from behind came.

Mr. Luo turned back while Si-ting brimmed with joy. "Why is she here?" he questioned himself but he was happy enough to forget his own question.

She had a perfect smile and confident look that a business woman needs and she reached her hand to shook his.

His eyes turned big and wide as he stared her, she reminded him of her mother with whom he used to work, and he become a little sentimental.

"Yeah, that's the exact reaction I wanted to see on his face. It seems it was a right decision to come here rather then waiting for Si-ting," she thought while continuing to put a proper smile.

Looking at her professional business ethic, Si-ting felt amazed. Her posture, her smile and even her every move looked like as if she have had planned it ahead before coming here. His eyes got stuck to her and he started to observe her every move so as to learn from her.

Mr. Luo hands trembled as he shook it. Caixia glanced at Si-ting and then at Mr. Luo's son.

"Hello Mr. Luo, I am Lin Caixia the president of the Lin group and I came here as the representative of the Lin company. May I have a little bit of your time," she said.

He coughed to clear his throat and controlled his emotions. "As I have said earlier, I don't have any wish to work for the Lin's and moreover you are only 17 years old and your company is about to go bankrupt, I don't see the necessary to work there," he said.

Even though, he was still standing firm on his decision, still his voice was a little softer then before.

"No Mr. Luo, you have got the wrong idea. I am 17 years and 8 months old, while the business is not about to go bankrupt," she replied confidently.

He felt a little annoyed by her words that were crossing his.

Si-ting while staring at Mr. Luo annoyed face, panicked, "What is she doing there? Is she trying to incite his anger?" he thought while his mouth was wide opened with shock.

"Huh! You are acting as if you know everything about the business just because you are 8 months older then being 17 years. Even if there are some investors who are investing in your company, still if you can't bring your company back to life, they will quickly withdraw it without any second thought," he said.

"That's why I am planning to bring it back to life with your help," she replied.

Second by second, Si-ting heart was jumping with her every reply, he was concerned that if she makes him angry rather then satisfied then he will throw them out rather then kicking.

"Who is the investor which is currently holding your company at its edge?" asked Mr. Luo, his eyes curiously staring her but deep down, lied there something more concerning.

"Does it matter?" Caixia said after staring deeply in his eyes.

"Yeah, the more higher position an investor holds, the more risky situation it becomes for the company who is receiving the investment," he replied.

"A business without risk, is similar to, working without any growth," she said.

He nodded, his face was having a satisfied look and he glanced at the table laying down at the ground.

"Let's have a seat," he said.

Si-ting, who has been staring them without blinking for a second, become petrified, his eyes reddened since he didn't blinked and heart which was going up and down calmed down.

"And that's all it took for him to change his mind. Now, what happened to his manly word? What happened to his big talks? Tsk!! If only I had a little experience," he muttered.

Mr. Luo's son sat opposite to Si-ting while, Caixia sat opposite to Mr. Luo.

A servant served them tea with snacks, and the atmosphere again turned back to silence.

It was hard just by staring at Mr. Luo serious face to utter a single word and Si-ting knew that fact, still he was having hope because of Caixia.

"I won't beat around the Bush so let's directly come to the topic. As you know I need human resources for my company to rise it back to its stable position and you seem to be the perfect person who holds the resource," she said.

Seriously, he stared her and said, "You want me to work in your company and what will I get by working there?".

"Whatever you ask for, Mr. Luo, until it is not too troublesome and illegal," she replied.

He shut his eyes and with his furrowed eyebrows, concentrated a little time on thinking.

"I was kicked out by the Lis' when your mother died and now you want me to work there again! I see it as my insult to work at a place from where I was thrown once," he said, his voice filled with seriousness.

She nodded calmly while Si-ting breath was stuck for a second. Without even realizing, his breath was stuck as he stared at them and with his full concentration, he heard their each and every word.

She glanced at Si-ting while thinking, "I know that it was not so easy to take him back but after talking to him, there seems to lie another reason why real Caixia's mother choose him to be her secretary. His temper and body language, doesn't look like those of a normal secretary, I am definitely sure that the Lin family is not as easy going as it looks like".

Si-ting was confusingly staring at her dazed face and coughed to bring her back to her senses. Caixia stared at him as she heard his noisy cough.

She was busy while trying to think of a way to get Mr. Luo back to her company, but nothing really was working on him.

"But Mr. Luo, it was the wicked Lis' who asked you to leave the company, not the Lin while the company legally belongs to the Lin group.. I was a child back then, so helping you in any way was impossible, but now that I am the head of the company, I want to take you back with full respect," she said.
