"Her husband has left her."
These words kept ringing in Xiao Lie's head. He was in his car while the driving asked where he wanted to go but it didn't reach him.
'Which stupid man would leave such a beautiful wife? Plus she's a good mother as well... So why?'
"...want to go?"
"Sir? Where do you want to go?" The driver repeated.
"To the CHin's company. We need to sign the contract to collaborate." He replied after coming back to his senses as he glanced over at the driver.
-CHin's Industry-
A man walked into the office of the CEO. He didn't look Chinese. He had light skin, dark black silky hair and deep brown eyes.
There was no one at the office. He sighed and took his phone out of his pocket to make a call.
"Hello?" A female voice replied at the other side. It was Mei's.
"Ma'am ... we need you for the contract. You're the president!" He said with a sigh.
"I'm busy. I told you to manage everything, manager Yamoto. Xue'er needs me to go to the school registration today."
"Alright..." he sighed again and hung up the call.
"Ugh... what did I do to deserve this? The president of the XIAO Z will be so mad. He's known to be spoilt and bad-tempered." The man sat on the chair of the president in despair.
Yamato Shuu is a Japanese man that came to China at the age of 7. He came across Chen Rui at high school when he was 17 and Rui was 16. They became close thanks to their interest in business management.
When Rui took over, he made Shuu his assistant and manager. As for Shuu, he was very loyal to him. Hence he decided to assist Rui's wife to help her out with the company management.
Someone knocked on the door.
"The president of the XIAO Z company has come."
"Let him in," Shuu said hesitantly.
Xiao Lei and his assistant walked into the room. Lei looked around for a bit.
The room was quite messy; a lot of piles of documents, dust on the table itself; as if no one uses it.
"It's quite... a mess here," Lei said after inspecting the room carefully.
"The president refuses to come.." Shuu replied with a sigh and put his hand on his forehead.
"So who are you?" he interrogated the male that is in the chair of the CEO as he glared at him.
"I-I'm the manager" he bugged.
"Where's your president?" Lei asked raising an eyebrow.
"She's busy..." he avoided his gaze while answering the male in front of him.
"I'll just wait then. Tell her to come sign the contract," he sat on the sofa that his assistant has cleaned while they were talking.
"Uhm.. I'll call her"
-Meanwhile at Xue's school-
Mei and Xue went to a prestigious school, SS; Silver Spring. It was for the richest people; Xue is the one and only heir of the Chen family so naturally, he would go there.
Rui's parents almost begged Mei to keep him as the heir of the Chen family. Mei, of course, agreed. She didn't want to change her family name either. She loved and still loves Chen Rui. And probably forever will.
