Chapter 83 - His Turn To Shine
Throughout, Ye Cheng was busy in his office combing through the bunch of files and work left undonenin his absence.
He intentionally locked himself inside his office and ordered Han Qing Qing not to disturb him till he requested for her himself or he came out.
Although he was busy, he also did not want anyone coming to say trash to him about his new order and decision.
He was happy about the tension he created and made them all to seat on edge.
Ye Cheng was sure that by now, their minds were in chaos. And he liked it that way.
At one certain time, Han Qing Qing had to message him that Hao Huizhong was outside and waiting to see him but Ye Cheng ignored the text and placed his phone on do not disturb mode there after.
So while Hao Huizhong tried to call him, the call never went through.
That was how both of them spent their first day at work after a week of life threatening activities.

Since Li Jing was so swamped with work, she could not take her lunch break and in turn could not see Ye Cheng as well.
At the end of the day she bang to pack her things and got ready to leave.
In as much as she wanted to enjoy this first day to herself, Li Jing knew that for her to go to work and manage the company’s finance and still have sometime to herself, she needed to start her own quota of the work today.
She was going to take it one step at a time and finish it all before the week runs out.
Ring! Ring!
Like Jing moved her chair to where her phone was and picked it up.
"Oh, Ye Cheng. I completely forgot about having lunch with him," Li Jing stated then proceeded to answer her call.
"Hello."
"Are you ready to go home?" Ye Cheng’s calm voice seeped into her ears, sending home a nice vibe.
As soon as she heard his voice, a small smile broke out on her lips. "Yes. I was just packing up. You?"
"Whenever you are."
"Okay then. I should be done and out in three minutes."
"Alright. Meet me at the parking lot in five. I would round things up at my end and bring the car out."
"Thanks."
"Yeah."
Beep!
Li Jing dropped her phone and continued with what she was doing.

Outside of Ye Cheng’s office, he got out and bid Han Qing Qing goodbye.
"I would see you tomorrow."
"Yes sir."
He said nothing more and headed for the elevator with his suitcase.
By the time he got to the elevator, he saw Hao Huizhong moving towards his office direction and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
He was happy he had left to avoid the awkward conversation that was about to happen between himself and his best friend.
As the elevator was about closing, Hao Huizhong turned his head to his side and caught a glimpse of Ye Cheng standing in the elevator before the doors shut close.
"Dammit!" Hao Huizhong cursed as soon as the doors shut close and halted in his steps.
’Ye Cheng!’
Ring!
His phone started buzzing in his pocket, drawing his attention back to reality from his thoughts.
Quickly he brought his phone from his pocket and answered the call.
"Hello. He is back."
"What is going on?" I heard he appeared from nowhere today?" A deep masculine voice responded from the other end of the phone carrying with it a sense of dread as he spoke.
"Yes. He took is all by surprise. No one expected him to show up all of a sudden. He came and put a stop to every business contract."
"I heard. Hehhe the small fly thinks he can resurrect wheneverbhe wants to." The stoic voice stated once more.
After some seconds the voice suddenly spoke again.
"It is okay. We would play his game with him. Keep a low profile and keep your eyes on things for me. Do not let him suspect you."
"I am sorry sir, but I think Ye Cheng already does."
"Why? Did he say something?" The man suddenly asked.
"No, that is the problem. He had shut himself in his office all day and refused to let anyone see him. I was on my way to his office to try and talk to him when I saw him already leaving in the elevator."
"Calm down. He may just be doing that to get you all on your toes and worried. This type of game, I understand it quite well. He has nothing on him but he decided to make a grand entrance just to make it seem like he does. Let him bark for now. It is his turn to shine."
"But sir, I know Ye Cheng. If he doesn’t have anything on ground now, then he must surely be up to something."
"Like what? Even though he is, he would get nothing if you do nothing and keep a low profile like I earlier said. He wants you to start covering your tracks and from there he catches you red handed. Relax and I would handle things from here."
"As you wish."
"Good. Now if there is no other thing, I would hang up now."
"Umm, well... Hmm," Hao Huizhong stuttered as he tried to think about things.
"Huizhong! Is there?" The man half yelled into the phone.
"Hmm, no. Just a new finance manager. One I can handle."
"Good. Get him on our side."
"Okay, sir. It is... "
Before he finished what he wanted to say, the call went dead and he sighed.
"It is not a man. For the first time we are having a female," Hao Huizhong muttered to himself.
In as much as he wanted to tell the caller this fact, he felt like there was no need.
’No matter what happens I can handle a puny rat like her. She only came to show off today. I bet she had reviewed those documents in advance. I would get her under us and put her in her place.’ Hao Huizhong thought inwardly and a smirk broke out on his face.
