Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 666 Fearsome boss

Chapter 666 Fearsome boss

Inside Yue Ling's office, she moved from her desk to sit on one of the two couches in the room. Across from her was Liu Shan. He was currently flipping through the pages of the designs inside the black book. Since he was late and could not attend the meeting, he could only listen to his boss recall the meeting.
As he reaches the last page, he closes the book and sets it down on the coffee table.
He pout his lip for a short second with eyes glued on the book. His head slightly tilts to the side and he finally looks up at his boss.
"With the designs we have, will Cloth Co. be able to provide us the materials needed?"
His words fell and he lifts his left hand to touch his chin. He gestures soft stroking motions like he had a long beard.
"Why don't we discuss with Uncle Zhi about this matter too? We can ask him to help find the materials we need as a backup plan."
Yue Ling understood why Liu Shan would suggest they ask Uncle Zhi. When it comes to importing goods, the middle-aged man is the foremost person to go to as he has connections all over the world.
However, thinking about something, she calmly reaches for the cup of coffee that had been brought in by Sophia after Liu Shan entered the room.
She leans back on the couch and crosses one leg over the other. Gently blowing the coffee to cool it down, she then takes a sip before voicing her thought.
"I don't want to trouble him."
Taking another sip, she lowers her hand and holds the cup of coffee above her lap. Her eyes slowly flutter as they look at Liu Shan.
"Uncle Zhi is still in the middle of restoring his shop from the vandalism. If we were to ask him for help, it will only add-on to his busy schedule."
She voices her reason and continues to drink her coffee. Once she finished it, she leisurely sets it down on the table and reaches for a piece of paper that was closer to her.
Her bluish green eyes scan over the paper very quickly before she slides across the table to her assistant.
"These are the names of the remaining individuals still inside An Qing that have not been dealt with."
She spoke as she leans forward and reaches for the black book. She held onto it with one hand and stands up from her seat.
"Memorize the names and gather every detail you can about them. We set out for An Qing in two hours."
Liu Shan didn't move from his seat but watch her walk to her desk. His head tilts to the right and he purses his lip to one side as he ponders about her instruction.
"Do you want to send word to An Qing of your visit?"
Yue Ling had yet to reach her desk when he asked the question. She doesn't look back at him but walks around her desk to sit down.
"No need."
Getting this answer, the corners of Liu Shan's mouth curls up into an evil smirk and his eyes flash dangerously. Now that there is no Ming Yue to inform those faithless fools at An Qing, he can already see the shock and surprise looks on their faces.
"Don't worry. I'll make sure to dig every information I can."
As Yue Ling begins her work and Liu Shan exits the room, back at Lu Corps, Lu Tian was currently in the middle of a meeting.
However, the atmosphere inside the conference room was very grim.
They had discussed over the matters of current objectives and operations regarding Lu Corps had just ended. However, one member of the board of directors thought it was a wise decision to bring up a topic that had been long dismissed.
Other than Lu Tian and Xu Long, everyone in the room, including the person who brought up the topic, was covered in beads of sweat. Multiple pair of eyes glance nervously at one another as no one dare to raise their head.
The meeting had been perfect with no issues and their boss's mood was good. How did the situation suddenly turn so spine-chilling?
A man in his late fifties glances at the person on his right. He gestures a nudge as this person was the one who spoke out of line. He didn't forget to indicate the person to explain himself or else all of them will lose their jobs.
Met with the man's eyes, Qian Chi Xue was put in a difficult position. Even if he didn't look up, he was well aware that everyone's eyes were glaring at him with daggers.
He inhales a deep breath to calm his hectic beating heart and raise his head to look at his young, but fearsome boss.
However, the second he looked at the young man, he was frozen in his chair.
Lu Tian kept a straight face, but his dark eyes were staring right into Qian Chi Xue like he was able to see through the man.
The corners of his (Qian Chi Xue) mouth twitch up and he forces a sarcastic chuckle.
"Heh heh. CEO Lu, about what I brought up…"
He spoke trembling words as he held his hands tightly together under the table to keep himself from shaking.
"I… I didn't mean to upset you by bringing up old matters."
Seeing that Lu Tian's eyes weren't going to avert from him, he slightly lowers his head and looks elsewhere.
"Y-You see, I brought up this matter because I have taken a look into other shipping companies in Imperial. However, none of them can bring good enough profit to Lu Corps like how TB Corps does."
Listening to the man speak, Xu Long stood behind Lu Tian, and never spoke a word. However, the more he listened to Qian Chi Xue explain, he would snort and roll his eyes without any care.
No other shipping company can bring profit to Lu Corps?
Oh please! Qian Chi Xue is just as disgusting and greedy as his daughter, Qian Li Li. He is only trying so hard to convince Lu Tian to reconsider the contract between both companies because Ning Xingyu has bribed him with many goods in the dark.
The reason why Ning Xingyu cannot afford to lose the contract with Lu Corps is that without Lu Corps' business, TB Corps will no doubt collapse before it even goes bankrupt.
As he thought about this, Xu Long held both his hands behind his back and his eyes begin to twitch like he was suddenly being possessed.
Qian Chi Xue's face turned red at the sight of the annoying assistant. He was embarrassed but angry that such a lowly assistant would not give him any face.
His nostrils flare and he looks at Lu Tian with a serious face.
"CEO Lu, I have calculated the shipment time and with all the products Lu Corps has on the market, only TB Corps is able to carry them out at the fastest speed."
Lu Tian remained indifferent and never once spoke a word as the middle-aged man continue to rant his excuses. However, the cold air around him did not only get colder, but it also grew darker like the bright conference room was suddenly engulfed by gray clouds.
Like he was finally getting bored with the meeting, he interrupts the man.
"Director Qian, turn in your resignation letter to HR."
"…"
