ARRANGE MARRIAGE - Yizhan

CHAPTER 10 - PART 1

The last two days have been hectic for Lan Yibo, as it has consumed so much of his energy, the work has been so much that he didn't get to think about his marriage.

When his father said that he wants him to get married on Sunday, he got shocked. To say he was shocked was an understatement, he was bewildered to hear it, it took him some time to process the information he got, and his first question was why so early? Because he knows his father always likes to take things slow whether it's business or personal life, he always gives time to think about all the pros and cons of what he has to encounter. Then why his dad wants this marriage to be so early that is within five days was something he was not able to understand. He wanted an answer as his mind was not able to process the answer.

But to his relief, he didn't wait so long for the answer as his father answered him, and the answer though didn't give him satisfaction but he accepted it. He knows his father, Chairman Lan who has been a man of patience only wants to do things early when he is attached to something so he already knew that his father is attached to the boy which he has seen from his own eyes. The way his father's eyes sparkled when he accepted the marriage gave him an idea of what this marriage meant to his father.

The reason that his father gave him was also not wrong as Yibo knows him being the sole heir of the largest corporation brings a lot of responsibilities, as he has a tight schedule of meetings, and there are 6 business contracts which are expiring and renewing them will take a lot of time. And Marriage is a new phase of his life that will also consume his time, he knows that being married brings responsibilities but also love that he has seen between his parents. Mr. Lan being a busy person never made Mrs. Lan wait, he always gave her time and love. He has admired his parent's marriage but he is not sure about his because his parents knew each other before marriage. Whereas in his case, he doesn't even know the person and it's a person whose name he had heard for the first time, so he just agreed thinking that he will maintain his distance.

It was the same day when he received the call from his PA that he is required in Beijing urgently as the deal for the land is being finalized, so Yibo left for Beijing the very next day and have returned today only and instead of going to his penthouse he went to the headquarters of Lan corporations. It was around 11:30 am when he was sitting in his office after a hectic meeting, and thinking about all the goings in his life, when suddenly he heard a knock on the door, Yibo straightens himself and speaks, "Come in."
As the door opens his PA Haikuan is seen,
Yibo raises his eyebrows to know what is the matter, taking this as cue his pa speaks,
"Sir, Mr. Lan is on call"
Yibo listening to his father name immediately takes the phone and answers it, "Good Morning, dad"
"Good morning son. How was your visit to Beijing" asked Mr. Lan.
"It went fine, dad" replied Yibo with a smile.
Mr. Lan, who knows his son guessed from his son's voice, that he got the land but just to confirm it he asks, "you got the land?"
"Yes dad, and at a price even less than I set," said Yibo proudly.
"Proud of you son. BTW yibo, are you free in the afternoon " asked Mr. Lan.
"Dad I have one meeting except that yes I am" replied Yibo checking the tab which was given to him by Haikuan in the morning.
"Then can you postpone the meeting as I am busy with your marriage arrangements and today is the inspection for LAN JIXI MALL? Can you go to my place?" Asked Mr. Lan.
"Sure dad," replied Yibo and ended the call.

He looked at his PA, "Kuan Just inform the managing department the meeting is canceled and call Mr. Lam to make the car ready. We are going to LAN JIXI mall for a yearly inspection." Said Yibo.
"Yes sir" replied Haikuan.
With this Yibo after half an hour left his office entered the elevator, and reached the ground floor to leave for LAN JIXI MALL. As soon as Mr. Lam saw Yibo he opened the door for his boss, Yibo slides in with Haikuan following him, and the car set for his destination.
