The CEO's Woman

Chapter 51 - Unexpected Problems

Wonbin took a sip from his fifth coffee of the day as he continued to read the documents in front of him.

For some reason, Kim Corps is having a lot of problems lately. Things like false premium increases and fake insurance claim cases are hovering over the company like an annoying mosquito.

The worst thing about this is that the media got a hold of it and is constantly pounding at his door asking for an interview.

He took a deep breath as he massaged his temples. He had been in a lot of stress lately, and he could not even remember when he last spent time with his wife and daughter.Somehow he felt a little guilty. He knows that what happen to nancy is partly his fault. However, the sudden scandal in the company is keeping him away from his family.

He could not understand why all of a sudden, a tragedy would strike his company. he made sure to cover up those things before..

He never expected them to suddenly show up and cause such a disturbance in his life.

"Mr. kim we received another call from a reporter. This time it's from The Post Daily. They are asking for an interview. Should-"

"I already told you to decline all of them! Tell him I'm busy or make up another reason. Just say I am unavailable or something!" wonbin chided. They have been receiving these calls in the past few days. It's been irritating him more and more.

"Also, Mrs. Kim called. She wanted you to know that she needed your signature on a dress that she ordered for Miss Nancy She said the bank did not give her permission to spend such a large amount of money without your permission."His secretary informed him.

wonbin leaned back and clenched his jaws in annoyance. Cl had been asking him for large amounts of money lately for nancy's birthday. Although this spending is not enough to bankrupt them, the company is having a hard time right now.

They should not spend their money on nonsense things like this.

"How much does she want this time?" He inquired, his brows wrinkled.

"Eight Million Yuan."

"Tell her that I do not approve of this dress. Two Million should be enough for a dress." He commanded. nancy is still facing a big scandal.

He is even reluctant to invite some of his elite friends because of this. What could beCL's reasons for buying such an expensive dress? Is it just to cover up the embarrassment caused by nancy?

Speaking of this embarrassment,nancy already asked for Jennie's forgiveness in public.

Unfortunately,the later is still not responding.

wonbin can't help but feel another burst of anger erupt inside of him.

All this embarrassment is caused by Jennie. He wondered when did she become this cruel.

While he was still reflecting his current situation, he heard his business phone ring.

He glanced at the screen and furrowed his brows when he saw that it was his Elder brother Kim Tianqi.

"What do you want?" He grumbled when he answered the phone.

"Ah, Younger brother. I miss you too."he heard Tianqi's taunting voice on the other line.

"I have no time to talk to you. I have some business to attend to."He said while scowling. He and his Elder brother were not on friendly terms.

Tianqi was supposed to inherit the Jiang Corps but because of Wang Rou's help, wonbin was able to secure the CEO position. This made the two brothers estranged from each other.

"I heard." Tianqi chuckled in delight. "You know, you can stop acting tough in front of me. After all, Wang Rou is already gone. You don't have a backer anymore."

"You- What are you talking about?"

"Hohoho... I heard some shareholders were already thinking of selling their shares. With the current situation of kim Corps, it won't be too long before it goes completely -"

"Shut your trap! You don't know anything!"

"Eh? Why are you angry Younger Brother? I am just giving you a heads up. I am your Elder Brother after all."

"Don't call me unless you need something important!" wonbin growled before cutting the line. He gritted his teeth before he turned his phone off.

Tianqi is just waiting for an opportunity like this to reclaim the company, and he will not let that happen.

wonbin took another sip from his coffee. This is a very precarious time for the company, he can't have any distractions.

However, out of his expectations, CL suddenly barged into his office with bulging eyes.

« wonbin, what do you mean by this? Why did you stop me from buying nancy's dress?"CL badgered, almost poking him in the face.

"Eight Million for a dress? Are you out of your mind!?" HE said, contempt and irritation radiating from his eyes.

Lu CL struck her hands against her hips and squinted her eyes at him. "Exactly, It's just eight million! How can you not give this to her? She is your daughter!"

"Can you not buy a two Million dress? We are not even sure if people will turn up at her party!"

"And whose fault is that? Oh right! It was you and your useless plan!" Lu CL countered.

"Look I don't have time to deal with this right now. Two Million is en-"

"NO! You can't have your daughter wearing something as cheap as a two million dress! Did you see Jennie's dress during her birthday? That was worth tens of millions! Did you see that necklace? It's worth tens if not hundreds of millions! How can you become so bias and let nancy wear somethi-"

"ENOUGH! I said it's two Million! Now go and get your daughter a nice 2 million dress! Stop acting like a spoiled brat!" wonbin chastised his wife. He does not have any time to deal with Lu CL's jealousy right now.

"You- You are a useless father!" Lu CL fumed before she stomped her way out of Wonbin's office.

After she left, wonbin let out a long sigh. His wife had been having some outrageous request lately. It seems that LuCL wanted to make this party as grand as Jennie's.

He shook his head and closed his eyes. It seems that a lot of problems are coming his way lately.

....

Inside a tall building in another city.

A man can be seen smiling widely while talking to someone over the phone. He nodded his head as excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Yes. I understand. I will talk to some of the board members tomorrow."

"Got it. I will let you know once it's done."

After the call, the man let out a broad grin. He gets up from the swivel chair and walks towards the window to look at the view outside of the building.

"Hmmm... Wang Rou, I didn't know you have such a smart daughter." He murmured as he heard a soft knock from the door.

"Mr. Kim one of the Board members from Kim Corp just called. He wanted to see you tomorrow if you are available." His secretary politely said.

"I'm already scheduled to talk to another Board member tomorrow. Call him back and tell him I will talk to him 2 days from now." Tianqi said without tearing his eyes off the view outside the window.

After his secretary left, Tianqi then let out a chuckle of triumph.

"Hah! wonbin... I can't wait to see you fall. You won't even know what hit you!" He said as he let out another deep laugh.
