“I am Leon Hua’s wife and also his assistant. My name is Nala Yao.” I bent to these shareholders to show my respect to them.
“I am here today on behalf of Leon Hua for this meeting. Here, on behalf of him, I would like to respond to a few questions raised by Miss Chen.”
“I object, who are you? Why are you able to speak here? You are nobody.” Ruoxin Chen was furious.
“She’s qualified, she’s Leon’s wife.” Yaohui Hua expressed his support for me.
After he spoke, Ruoxin Chen didn’t dare to say anything more, and Yaohui Hua nodded to me, and I bent down to express my thanks to him before continuing.
“First of all, the case of Leon Hua’s alleged murder is purely untrue. Leon Hua is not feeling well and is currently on vacation to recuperate. It is common sense that the murder is a criminal case. If he is really involved in a murder case, the police will let him go free? It’s not possible. So this is clearly someone with ulterior motives intentionally slandering Leon.”
“Secondly, Leon Hua, as the group’s general vice-president and branch president, has been serving the company diligently, and the branch he is governing contributed 30 percent of the group’s profits last year. The projects he was responsible for none of them failed. And his branch company is growing at 49 percent. And the overall growth rate of the Hua Group is only 12%. It can be said that the branch under the running of Leon develops better in the whole Hua Group. He has created a lot of value for the shareholders of the company, I would like to ask the shareholders, such an excellent executive, do you want to fire him?”
I had just finished my speaking, immediately eliciting a whisper, and I knew I was already starting to convince them.
“If someone wants to fire him, I’d like to know, what kind of person would that be to qualify as a vice president of the company? Or rather, what kind of person do shareholders want to hire for the company? Are you going to believe a man who does nothing to hold this position?”
The room immediately fell silent.
I took a glance at Yaohui Hua , who was sitting in the main seat, and I saw a look of approval on his face.
“Nala Yao, you’re exonerating Leon Hua, right? Do you think that by saying that, you can keep Leon Hua in office? The murder was originally related to him, you think you can explain it clearly for him,” Ruoxin Chen said aloud.
“The handling of the case is a police matter and we don’t have to argue here. If Miss Chen has any personal grudges with Leon, I suggest that you resolve them privately and don’t link them to the company, where Leon is an executive and he is responsible to the company and to all shareholders. So whether he does well or not, it’s all up to his performance. And one cannot judge a person by his attitude towards that person. I am sure that all shareholders here will have their own judgement. That’s all, thank you.”
I finished and handed the microphone to the staff. I wanted my speech to be short and concise. If I said too much, it would turn into an argument with Ruoxin Chen, I didn’t want to have a heated argument with her, because the shareholders wouldn’t want to see two women arguing endlessly here either.
Anyway, I had said what I should have said, and no matter how Ruoxin Chen took issue with me, I wouldn’t respond to her again.
A few shareholders I had chatted with before the meeting also spoke in support of me, and they all agreed that Leon had really contributed a lot to the company, and should not only not be impeached, but should be on the board of directors and participate in more high-level meetings of the company.
In the end, no one supported Ruoxin Chen. Those who were supposed to support her found vfew people to support her in the end, so they stopped speaking up for her.
After the meeting was over in the afternoon, the company prepared a reception for the shareholders who came to the meeting in the evening. But I didn’t attend and I wanted to be home with my son.
Back at the Maple Villa, Leon was working out at the gym, and Alex sat on the side and watched him lift dumbbells in adoration.
“Mom, Dad is awesome. Can you?” Alex pointed at Leon, who was sweating profusely and said to me.
“Mom can’t do this” I said.
“You can let dad teach you. That way you two can play together.” Alex said innocently.
Leon put down the dumbbell in his hand and took the towel and wiped his sweat, “Yeah, I can teach you and then we can play together.”
He aggravated the pronunciation of these words ‘play together’, which I always felt a lustful connotation.
“Alex, can you play outside ? Dad has something to say with Mom.”
“Oh, is Dad going to whisper to Mom?” Alex asked.
“Yeah, Alex is so smart. Kids can’t listen to that.” Leon said with a smile.
“Ok, I’ll go out. Mommy comes out to play with me after whispering.” Alex said, narrowed his bright eyes and ran out happily.
This squinting movement was Leon’s most frequent movement, when did Alex learn it too? And now I was surprised that this kid also had eyes so similar to Leon’s, so is he going to inherit all those evil but charming genes from Leon?
Suddenly, Leon put down the towel that was wiping his sweat and clapped his hands.
“You did well today. You didn’t have stage fright at all, and you are very confident. You steal Ruoxin Chen thunder.” Leon said.
“I haven’t even said it yet, how do you know?”
“Although I wasn’t on the board, I still have a few friends at headquarters and I saw the live video. That’s really good beyond my expectations, and should be beyond everyone’s expectations, you hit her back.”
He complimented me? and I was afraid that it was the kindest compliment he had ever given me since I had known him.
“Thanks boss for your compliment, so should I get some reward?”
Leon narrowed his eyes, “Of course. you deserve some reward. I’m an enlightened boss. As a reward for you. You don’t need to pay the interest.”
Was that also called a reward? He set me up with the interest, but now he didn’t want it, and he called it a reward? Did that mean I had to be grateful to him?
“You are not satisfied?” Leon glance at me.
I grunted coldly. “Thank you, Mr. Hua.”
Leon took off his sweat-soaked tight tank top and walked towards me. He was very close to me. The heat and masculine scent of his body came at me. There were beads of sweat on his firm muscles, showing his masculine charm.
He does have a great body, but he didn’t have to show it off to me like that, did he?
“Today, you called me at noon and said what?” Leon lifted my chin.
I thought about it for a moment. In order to deal with Ruoxin Chen during lunch time, I called him to pretend to show my love for him. I said to him at the time, ‘I miss you’, and that should have been what he was referring to.
“I forgot.” I said blandly.
“You forgot it ? Or you pretend you have forgotten it?” Leon stared at me.
“How can I remember every word I say when I’ve said so many?”
“May I remind you then?”
“Don’t bother, most of what I say is crap. You don’t need to take it seriously.”
Without saying a word, Leon suddenly put his hand around my waist. With a yank, he pulled me closer to him against his firm chest that hadn’t dried with sweat. “You said you missed me.”
His masculine scent of his body was nice smelling. He wrapped his arms around me tightly and stared at me. I got so close to his delicate face, which made me thump a little inside.
I forced myself to be calm, “Did I say that?”
“You said it, and I heard you very well.”
“I don’t remember.” I said as I twisted my face to the side.
“Then I’ll remind you now that you said you missed me.”Leon wrapped his arms around me even tighter.
“So what, boss, I said it casually. You don’t take it seriously, do you?” I smiled.
“You turned me on and still won’t admit it? Don’t you know you need pay a price for flirting with me?” His hand suddenly caressed my waist, then keeping caressing me…
“Stop it…” I smacked his hand.
