Chapter 386 - The Mafia King Is Displeased
Being the PR head of the Jiang Industries and who was responsible for maintaining Wei\'s image and reputation, Ji Da Xia was the only one besides Fu Renshu who knew Wei\'s identity as the Mafia King. It was important so that she could thwart any damage in case there was any faint whisper or accidental leakage of Wei\'s Underworld identity. Of course, only after a thorough background check was she deemed fit to know this secret.
But she only knew his identity. She didn\'t know the inside details of what happened with Jia or Lihua. That\'s also why she had no clue why Lihua left him.
But now she did.
And she was speechless.
She took out her handkerchief and wiped her forehead. She frantically looked at Fu Renshu for any help. But he could sadly nod.
Ji Da Xia stammered. "K-Killing a family member?"
Wei\'s gaze dimmed. "En. For example, a sister who she loved very much."
Now she found it difficult to breathe.
"What will make you forgive your fiance if he killed your family member?" Wei asked with utmost seriousness.
Are you seriously asking me that!?
Boss, I said that my boyfriend cheating on me would cause a breakup. What makes you think that I will forgive him if he killed one of my family members!? That is worse than cheating!
But she didn\'t dare to say it out loud. Her job was important to her.
But neither could she give him false hope.
But then her PR mode got activated, and she realized the gravity of the situation.
The fuck! If this got leaked, it would be a disaster!
She could imagine the headlines and the stocks crashing like crazy and the Jiang Industries facing a serious survival crisis.
"Boss...we have to take extreme care that this truth doesn\'t come out no matter what," she gulped. "The company will be over in no time. It would be a mess!"
Wei frowned. "I asked you about forgiveness. Why are you talking about the company?"
"Be-because it might face a crisis in the future?"
"Not more important than the crisis I am already facing."
"..."
She had to admit that he had a point.
Ji Da Xia felt her heart race in fear. Was she going to be punished if she said something that would go against him?
She said in a whisper, "Fo-Forgiveness seems a bleak option…"
The atmosphere turned still.
"I see," Wei said.
Ji Da Xia cautiously looked at him and wondered if he was angry. But the expression seemed more of sadness and disappointment.
Then he said again, "But I will keep trying."
She widened her eyes. Honestly, there was no way anybody would forgive for killing a family member. But his sincerity made her want to cheer him up.
"I will help you, Boss! It may seem impossible, but in whatever way I can, I will definitely help you to gain her forgiveness."
Wei was slightly surprised for a moment, but then he nodded. "En. Thank you."
Ji Di Xia clutched her chest.
Boss said thank you to me!? Is this real?
Ji Di Xia\'s class then went on smoothly, and Lihua had to admit that it was more effective than the regular classes or studying library books alone. Her teaching was top-notch, and her real-life experiences alone taught her a lot.
"I will give you some questions. Basically, there are some situations, and you have to answer how you will handle them. You have to justify the approach you use on how you will save your client\'s reputation."
Lihua and Meng Ya nodded.
Wei, aka Huang Liangshi, asked, "How many questions?"
"Ten questions-"
She suddenly felt a chill in the air and found Wei staring at her. Fu Renshu coughed and signaled to reduce the questions.
"..."
Am I the teacher or you?
But she had her job to think about, and the CEO was right in front of her who could send her to the HR department to collect her last paycheck with a snap of his finger.
She cleared her throat. "What I was going to say, but we can start with maybe seven-"
Wei narrowed his eyes further, and the temperature plummeted.
"W-which is also too high considering that you are just starting. So how about...three questions?"
She took a deep breath and cautiously looked at Wei, who was finally pleased. Three was not too high.
Ji Di Xia and Fu Renshu wanted to cry.
Boss, if you pamper her so much, then how she will complete it?
Lihua and Meng Ya blinked their eyes.
"Are you asking us?"
Ji Da Xia coughed. "N-No. Three questions," she sounded firm now.
I have to maintain my authority here…
She looked at Wei.
After him though…
Lihua nodded. "Okay!"
When it was time for lunch, they naturally stayed together. With the private class now, it became easier to approach Lihua without arousing suspicion.
Meng Ya exclaimed. "Miss Ji was so awesome. So beautiful and professional too!"
Lihua agreed. "Indeed. The principal really did us a favor here."
Wei\'s ears perked up, and his lips lit with a smile. He was glad that it was helpful for Lihua.
Meng Ya then tugged Lihua\'s hand and said, "Hey, hey, look at that guy! Isn\'t he cute?"
Wei and Fu Renshu\'s faces darkened. They slowly turned to see a boy sitting at a faraway table where a few girls were hovering around him. He had a chocolate boy type of beauty.
Fu Renshu sneered.
What is so good in him? He is so puny that I can knock him out with just one punch.
Lihua took a look and said, "Yeah."
Though she just agreed to it half-heartedly. To her, he could never match Wei\'s beauty.
Wei\'s gaze darkened even more, and he clutched the fork in his hand with a murderous feeling arising in his chest.
Lihua also thinks that he is cute…
Am I not cute?
Meng Ya chirped. "He is so much better than a certain hooligan I know!"
Now it was Fu Renshu\'s turn to clench the fork in his hand.
A dangerous smile lifted the corner of his lips, and he leaned towards her.
\'Hao Ziruo\' asked, "Oh? Can I ask who this hooligan you keep talking about?"
