Chapter 202: The same person?

The next day Yukira secretly sneaked out half-day from school to go to Liu Corps. It was the first time he was visiting Jinhai’s company.
He was awestruck seeing the tall building. His neck started to hurt, trying to look till the end.
He went inside and asked the receptionist. “Excuse me. I want to meet brother Liu Jinhai.”
The receptionist looked at him, surprised.
A high school student? What work does he have with our CEO?
The receptionist’s friend, who was standing with her, looked at him in disdain.
“Why are you taking him so seriously?” She snickered. “He is merely a student, and he even looks middle class. Do you think sir would really know him?”
Yukira said indignantly, “I’m not talking to you.”
The friend got furious. “How dare you!”
The receptionist calmed her down and asked, “Do you have an appointment?”
Yukira frowned. “No…but we know each other. He will agree to meet me if you call him once. My name is Yukira.”
“Heh! The audacity to claim that you know our CEO! Our boss knows many people. Do you expect him to remember every single name? Do you even know who he is? I think he must have donated some charity to the poor, so this boy came looking for him to grab some more.” The friend sneered.
Yukira gritted his teeth.
No need to insult me like that!
But he didn’t bother replying. He didn’t mention on purpose that he is Jinhai’s brother-in-law.
The receptionist was quite neutral, so she said seriously, “I’m sorry, but Sir is busy. We cannot disturb him. Assistant Xin handles every meeting schedule. We cannot, um don’t mind but let anybody in like that.”
“Hmph! Why did the guards even let you in?”
Yukira ignored the friend and said, “Then you can call Assistant Xin. He also knows me.”
“Um…”
“Look.” The friend couldn’t take it anymore. “She already said that our boss is busy. So shoo! Or you are welcome to waste your time waiting here.”
Damn, I don’t have their numbers! I can ask Nee-chan, but she might be resting at this hour. I don’t want to disturb her.
Yukira conceded. “I will wait. Can you let him know about me once he is free?”
“Sure.”
Yukira sat on the couch and started flipping some magazines.
After two hours, Jinhai had got free, and Xin called at the reception for some work, but it was the friend who picked up. The receptionist was on a break.
She knew she should have asked about that boy, but she didn’t. She was sure that Yukira had nothing to do with Jinhai.
Heh! Let him wait!
The receptionist asked about any calls on her return, but the friend denied, secretly sneering at Yukira.
More three hours passed by, but Yukira was still waiting patiently. He didn’t realize, but he was slowly dozing off.
Some ten minutes later, Jinhai finally appeared with Xin walking towards the exit.
His sight went onto the couch, and to his surprise, he saw Yukira sleeping.
Jinhai raised his eyebrows.
Xin asked, “What is he doing here?”
Jinhai went near him and patted his head. Yukira stirred and opened his eyes. He saw Jinhai and straightened up.
He smiled. “What is my brother-in-law doing here?”
Yukira was still fearful of him. Suddenly, he couldn’t speak anything.
“Why didn’t you call Xin or me?” Jinhai asked.
“I don’t have your numbers. I asked the receptionist, but she said you were busy. Her friend told me to wait here.”
He narrowed his eyes. “How long have you been waiting?”
“Five hours.”
Xin widened his eyes. He looked at the friend. “I had called three hours back. Why didn’t you tell me about him at that time? Or why didn’t you inform when he came here at the beginning?”
The friend panicked.
So our CEO does know this boy!?
The receptionist looked at her, shocked.
She didn’t tell me about any call.
“I-I am sorry!” She bowed full ninety degrees. “I thought this kid was bluffing when he said he knows you.”
“Hmph, you said that I am a poor boy whom brother Jinhai must have given some charity.” Yukira finally let out the injustice he faced.
The woman started sweating.
Me and my mouth!
Jinhai calmly looked at her. “Since when did my brother-in-law needs charity?”
Brother-in-law? Is that boy his family?
She was dumbfounded.
“And since when did my staff has got to guts to treat my family so rudely like that?”
Yukira looked at him speechless.
Is he the same person who gave me such a dangerous threat that day?
“You are fired. Xin, handle it.”
Fired!?
No! Getting a job in the prestigious Liu Corps was so difficult! How can I lose my job!? I was the envy of so many!
“No, sir, please give me one chance. I will never repeat it.” She begged.
He ignored her and glanced at the receptionist. She shuddered in fear and instinctively looked down.
Am I also…
“Three months salary deducted for leaving your post to such an irresponsible person.”
“Y-yes, sir!”
Jinhai looked at Yukira. “Come with me.”
Yukira looked at the woman’s pitiful sight. She was still in shock with her mouth wide open.
—
In his office, Jinhai said to Yukira, “Sit. I’m sorry you had to wait unnecessarily.”
“N-no problem.”
Yukira nervously settled in his seat. He was constantly fidgeting with his fingers. The ‘short ride’ was still fresh in his memory.
Jinhai lazily rested his head on his hand. “Nana asked me a very interesting question last night.”
He froze.
“She asked if I have ever killed anybody?”
Yukira didn’t dare to meet his eyes.
“I was wondering why she thought of suddenly asking a question like that.”
Silence.
Jinhai smiled. “I think that warning wasn’t enough for you, right brother-in-law?”
