In the afternoon, the warm sunlight shone brightly in golden rays across the endless azure sky. Jue Wei Group's building seemed even more majestic and palatial as it basked in the gentle sunlight.
The highest floor of Hua Huang Building in Beijing had officially opened its doors to visitors, and the luxurious meeting room in it could accommodate up to 100 people. Meanwhile, some doc.u.ments that were just sent from the Ministry of Commerce were sitting on the modestly gorgeous office table.
The reporters had not left yet and were hanging about in the reception area downstairs. They were still hesitating and kept stretching their necks to look at the stairs, seemingly hoping for someone to appear.
Many people did not even have the chance to see the person's face clearly, let alone interviewing him.
Everyone felt slightly disappointed, but they did not give up.
As long as they could get a photo, no matter how blurry it was, it would have immense potential to be on today's headline.
Baili Jia Jue had never accepted any interviews. However, he held a press conference immediately after returning to Beijing. Thus, the reporters did not bother about the man's status and decided to take photos freely. After all, this chance only came once in a blue moon.
Unlike the eager reporters, all of the upper management executives of Jue Wei Group sat restlessly in their seats.
Even though the weather was not hot, their foreheads were completely beaded with sweat. The reason for their anxiety was none other than the man who was sitting in the main seat.
His slender legs crossed elegantly under the table, while his graceful smile and the sharp edge of the table formed a stark juxtaposition. He was extremely handsome, and his discerning eyes were deep and dark, like a bottomless ocean. His straight nose, cold thin lips, and elegant disposition were so overwhelming, everyone suddenly felt an insurmountable pressure weighing on them.
Just when the upper management thought that they would all be fired, it sounded as if something was ringing... That was unmistakably the notification tone of Wechat.
Who is it?
Who did not mute their handphone?
This is simply asking for death!
Chapter 972 - Class Reunion, His Highness Announced That...
Everyone from the upper management of Jue Wei Group furtively looked around. Their seemed extremely anxious, as though they were intending to lure the offender out and beat them lifeless...
However, they saw the man tilting his head and holding a handphone in his left hand.
A second message was sent to the handphone, as the notification tone could be clearly heard.
The entire upper management was completely stunned. When did Chairman Jue start bringing his handphone to the meeting room?
Most importantly, they always thought that Chairman Jue did not have a Wechat account because every communication was done through his Executive Assistant Long. They had really never seen the man use Wechat before.
Most importantly, the previously oppressing atmosphere seemed to have lightened up with that one message!
A trace of softness seemed to flash across Chairman Jue's eyes.
We must have seen it wrongly!
How can this demonic man, who is mercilessly cruel against his business rivals, be so gentle?
"Continue." The man looked down to scroll his handphone as he voiced the command. His tone was icy cold, instantly bringing Manager Du back to reality.
"Chairman Jue, I accidentally went against your wishes simply because I did not make a proper judgment about the situation. Initially, I wanted to take this opportunity to increase our influence. Surprisingly, Executive Assistant Long did not even give me a chance to explain and asked me to resign." Obviously, Du Sisi's uncle had the same habit as Du Sisi, always making a fuss over nothing.
Most of the upper management thought that the man would do something to him immediately.
However, he did not!
He merely kept looking at his Wechat.
Chairman Jue...is smiling?
Everyone present was quite senior in age, so some even hastily applied some eye drops, wondering if their sight had failed them. After that, they saw the man's slender fingers tapping on the screen continuously.
"Blind date? I only had a blind date with you. As for others, I've never eaten a meal with them! Wei Wei, are you checking on me indirectly?" Obviously, His Highness was very happy to receive this type of Wechat message. From another point of view, this showed that Wei Wei actually cared about him.
Manager Du looked at their chairman puzzlingly. Although he had a trace of laughter in his eyes, he was wearing an apathetic expression. Manager Du simply could not comprehend what Chairman Jue thought about the matter that he previously discussed.
Meanwhile, Helian Wei Wei received his reply and simply raised her eyebrows, but she did not plan to pursue the matter further.
She knew His Highness' character very well. If he said that he never ate a meal with someone else, he really did not do it.
However...
"You have had a blind date in Tian Dao. At that time, you came to Buddhism every day to eat vegetarian food and pray." Helian Wei Wei suddenly remembered the past, and swiftly sent the message with a click.
This time, Baili Jia Jue's reply was sent almost immediately.
"Do you think I really went there to eat vegetarian food and pray? Obviously, I went there to meet you by coincidence. I forced myself to listen to those boring sanskrits just to someone every day. However, this stupid Phoenix merely lied and slept under the tree, day by day, and was oblivious to all my efforts. She even took out a blade and wanted to fight with me when she saw me. She's so stupid, right? Should I catch her here to teach her a lesson?"
Helian Wei Wei was fazed and did not know how to reply to his remark. Instead, her cheeks were flushed red and her heart raced. With the sweet memories playing in her mind, she did not type anything further and simply allowed the handphone's screen to dim.
Little Qingchen was looking at her, and placed his palm on his little forehead in exasperation like an a.d.u.l.t, saying, "Pretty Wei Wei, you are really such a dense Phoenix? Imperial father has fallen for you for such a long time, yet you didn't notice it."
"You don't know the reason. Your imperial father was especially cold and distant. I really did not realize that he felt differently about me at that time." Helian Wei Wei earnestly tried to defend herself for being obtuse, "Think about it. Would anyone that fancies you seem disgusted, as though you're covered in germs, when they enter your room? No one sane would actually think that it's a display of affection, right?
Little Qing Chen laughed, "Then, tell me. If my imperial father didn't like you, why did he enter your room? Is imperial father a man who will simply enter people's rooms?"
Helian Wei Wei was tongue-tied… She actually could not find an answer to that question.
Meanwhile, in the meeting room, Baili Jia Jue did not receive a new reply after waiting for a few seconds. He twitched his thick eyebrows as he opened another Wechat message with his fair slender fingers.
Initially, his posture seemed leisurely. However, a crease appeared on his forehead after he saw the content of the message.
"I heard that you had an affair?"
Had an affair? Baili Jia Jue despised these words with all his heart. It's fine to be questioned by Wei Wei, but it would be a different matter to be accused of having an affair.
Something must have happened.
Without dawdling any longer, Baili Jia Jue swiftly made a call, "If you want to come back before dinner, you better tell me everything you know. Otherwise, I will make you stay in the underground longer, Little Baili Shangxie."
"I've promised younger brother to have dinner together!" As Baili Shangxie uttered this in fury, he forcefully stepped on a big monster's leg with an exceedingly ferocious expression.
"Oh?" Baili Jia Jue's pale lips formed into a haughty smirk as he replied wickedly, "What does that hav
e anything to do with me?"
Shameless, he is really shameless!
Baili Shangxie knew that his imperial father was using his weakness against him. Hence, he simply relayed the news that he heard today to Baili Jia Jue concisely and comprehensively. Before he hung up, he even asked sarcastically, "Imperial father, aren't you afraid that imperial mother will be angry and disappear, when she found out that you had a nice meal with your employee's niece? You would have to look for her for another three years."
This last sentence that he uttered made Baili Jia Jue's eyes instantly become menacingly cold.
Baili Shangxie could sense the demonic aura of his imperial father through the screen, when the phone suddenly emitted a static noise. Obviously, his handphone had malfunctioned because of his imperial father...
The upper management of Jue Wei Group did not know what had happened because Chairman Jue only uttered a sentence during the entire meeting.
Nevertheless, they could clearly sense that the man's aura had turned bone-numbingly icy-cold.
The piercing coldness was different from his usual oppressive air, and had become an extremely asphyxiating aura instead!
The upper management saw him putting down his handphone with an inconceivable grin. He was clearly smiling, but it was maliciously frigid and devoid of warmth.
He raised his gaze and glanced at Manager Du who was still standing, as a cold and sinister intent flickered in his irises, "I've heard that Manager Du has a pretty niece? She even studied law, right?"
Chapter 973 - Class Reunion (Part 9: Announcing That He Was Married)
Manager Du was stunned but he was quietly ecstatic. Oblivious to what had happened, he suppressed his happiness as he said, "I'm surprised that Chairman Jue knows her as well. She is indeed very beautiful, professional, and knowledgeable. I was going to recommend her as our company's legal adviser."
"Really?" he replied indifferently.
Manager Du nodded furiously and said, "Yes, yes. If she becomes…" The sheer excitement on Manager Du's face suddenly froze when he saw the iciness in Baili Jia Jue's eyes.
What, what is happening?
Without having a clue of what was happening, Manager Du's back suddenly broke into a cold sweat as he wondered why the chairman was looking at him with such an expression. He tried to figure out the person's intention, but his effort drew a blank.
Baili Jia Jue merely glared at him coldly with obvious mockery. Manager Du's expression turned darkened and awkward when he noticed Baili Jia Jue's malicious gaze.
Manager Du faked a smile and sheepishly asked, "Chairman Jue, is there any problem?"
Baili Jia Jue was playing with the phone in his hands when he suddenly smiled and said, "You previously said that Qing Long made you submit a resignation letter?"
"Yes, yes. It is absolutely unreasonable." Manager Du believed that a ray of hope had finally shone on him. He thought that the chairman did not hear his report as he was texting on his phone. Things were finally taking a favorable turn for him!
Baili Jia Jue turned his strikingly handsome face slightly toward Qing Long and asked, "Why are other people making the decision for important matters in Jue Wei Group for me? Qing Long, you decided to let General Manager Du go simply by making him resign? You've been too lax recently."
"My apologies." Qing Long was not surprised and merely lowered his gaze, perfectly enacting the standard posture of an executive assistant.
Manager Du, who thought that he would be reinstated, immediately froze. Wait for a second, there's something wrong with this!
That man's smile was still graceful and pure. As he leaned against his chair elegantly, and gently uttered a murderous command, "Please make an announcement. From today onward, Du Dewei is officially dismissed from his position as a Jue Wei Group employee. Also, Jue Wei Group will not do business with any company that Manager Du works for in the future. We will even try to destroy their business. Kindly remind everyone else to avoid doing foolish and irrational actions."
Baili Jia Jue uttered the order courteously, but it was glaringly obvious that his words had an underlying message. He was simply issuing a warning - anyone that hired Du Dewei in the future would be completely destroyed by him.
This sent a cold shiver down the spines of Jue Wei Group's managers. They always knew that the chairman was very capable, even his threats sounded very polite. He had limitless means and ways to eradicate his enemies, he was simply invincible.
The managers exchanged glanced anxious glances with one another when they saw the scene. To avoid becoming the chairman's next target, they tried to stay invisible. Even now, they still had no idea what had caused the chairman to be so angry.
Du Dewei, who was forced into a blind corner, was completely oblivious as well as he asked, "Chairman Jue, it is for the company's best interest to have a legal adviser. Even if you fire me, don't you think it is too excessive to quash my future? Everything I did was for the company, what did I do wrong?"
"For the company?" Baili Jia Jue rose from his office chair, and bent slightly while resting one hand on the desk. Then, he said, "Stop saying such empty words. The one thing that I hated the most is for people to interfere with my private business. Besides…who told you that I am single?"
"Aren't you?" This question was not raised by Du Dewei, but unanimously by every manager in the meeting room.
They knew that Chairman Jue had a son, but that was his only family member. Young Master's temperament and appearance were noble and imposing. He came to the office twice before, and each time meeting him was an unforgettable experience.
However, they have never seen any woman by Chairman Jue's side. For an entire year, he did not even have any rumors or scandals. Isn't that evidence of him being single?
They assumed that Young Master was a child from Chairman Jue's libertine youth. It must be a mere accident and unrelated to anything else.
That is why it's impossible for Chairman Jue to be anything, other than being single!
Everyone in the meeting room had their eyes fixed on Baili Jia Jue with growing curiosity.
Baili Jia Jue who was at the center of attention, simply replied calmly and steadily, "I have been married for three years, and my wife loves me with all her heart."
Married?
He's married!
The managers in the meeting room were all dumbfounded, while Du Dewei was completely thunderstruck. How can he, how can he be married?
This news was undoubtedly a bombshell!
The explosive news caused the managers to be very surprised. They could not contain the bursting urge to the identity of his wife. Who is the woman who married our chairman?
Besides, wouldn't normal people usually say 'I love my wife with all my heart'?
Why did Chairman Jue say things in reverse…? Only Chairman Jue would say that his wife loved him very much.
Baili Jia Jue was completely unperturbed by the people's reactions. He simply walked toward Du Dewei and when he passed him by, he muttered scathingly, "I heard that Manager Du intended to arrange a meal for me and your cousin. Don't you worry, your wish is going to come true soon…"
Du Dewei was absolutely horrified, and could only think of begging that man to forgive him and revoke the order.
However, Baili Jia Jue did not even give him a glance. After delivering the explosive announcement, he swiftly ended the meeting nonchalantly.
The reporters who were waiting outside the meeting room all turned their heads around, when they heard the door opening. Then, they saw a tall and upright figure walking out of the room…
The crowd was instantly submerged in a frightening silence. When they witnessed the man appearing, their eyes were filled with admiration and praise.
With his presence, the glimmer of the afternoon sunlight swiftly turned dull and cold.
He was stunningly handsome, and his profound eyes seemed like a galaxy with glittering stars, hiding a boundless sky of wisdom. His figure and postur
e were extremely graceful as well.
He highly resembled a noble vampire from the movies, and each movement he made seemed to exude a dark, demonic aura.
The reporters could no longer contain the urge to rush toward him for an interview. However, his domineering and regal presence was very intimidating, thus completely immobilizing them…
Chapter 974 - Class Reunion (Part 10: Mocking Wei Wei?)
Baili Jia Jue's footsteps did not show any signs of stopping, it was as if he was unfazed by all the ruckus going on around him. He calmly made his way through the path paved by his bodyguards, toward the elevator. Aside from Green Dragon, Fire Qilin was trailing behind him, decked in a dashing tuxedo.
Since the reporters were not spared the opportunity to interview him, Green Dragon stayed back to take care of them.
Before he made his way out of the building, Baili Jia Jue dialed Baili Shangxie's number for the second time.
The troublemaker Baili Shangxie was still in the demon realm scheming to find his imperial father's weaknesses. When he heard his phone ring, he raised his brow and wore a cool expression as he said, "Hello?"
"If you wish to return to the human realm now, call your mom immediately and tell her that you want to meet her." Baili Jia Jue would never sugarcoat his intentions when speaking to his son.
Baili Shangxie squinted his blood-red eyes and said, "Your imperial mother is still at her class reunion now, I would simply distract her if I meet her now. Dad, just admit it. It's clear that you're the one who wants to visit mom and take the opportunity to check for any potential love rivals."
"Little Baili Shangxie, have I ever told you that sometimes, being too smart may not be a good thing?" Baili Shangxie's tone was very light, but uniquely threatening when he continued, "I don't want to hear any more of your guesses. You will make the call now if you wish to leave the demon realm."
