A Billion Dollar Exchange-Chapter 16: Crappy Discussions

Monday has always been a busy day, Liu Wei arrived at the company at half past eight. He didn't like being late to duties, even though he knew no-one could question him. As soon as he sat down, Wang Feng came in with a large file and placed it before him, and before he could ask what it was Wang Feng immediately explained ;

"List of girls with the name Liling in the whole of Beijing and their pictures". It took him the whole weekend to compile the list, though it was a little above fifty, he couldn't still put all together. He just prayed that the girl Liu Wei was looking for was among the ones compiled.

Liu Wei went through the pictures, one after the other, when he reached the end, he began from the beginning again, but he didn't find what he was looking for.

"Is this all?" He shifted his gaze from the file to Wang Feng as he creased his brows.

"No, no, I haven't compiled all" Wang Feng replied as he felt his boss shooting frozen daggers at him.

"Mmm?, you better hurry because if I don't find what I'm looking for, you would do the whole of China" Liu Wei replied as he shifted the files, took another and place it before him.

'Whole of of China!!' Wang Feng's eyes widened. He almost died doing just Beijing, now Boss is talking of the whole of China.

"I'll hurry up then" He smiled and walked out of Liu Wei's office to his own.

Liu Wei was looking through one of the documents for the project at hand when he received a call.

"Father?" Liu Wei picked the call and asked surprisingly. His father never called him directly, he always received calls through his personal bodyguard or the house keeper in the ancestral home. This call was really weird, though Liu Wei felt extremely happy by it, it still felt strange.

"Son, how are you? " His father asked curtly, with no hint of emotion in his voice.

Liu Wei who found the call a bit strange was now speechless, 'his father had asked him how he was'.

"Son?, are you there? " Mr Fa Zang Ru asked worriedly.

"Yeah, Yes father, I'm here, I'm fine" Liu Wei woke up from his daze as he held the phone tightly.

"Mmm, okay, could you come over to the house for dinner tomorrow night?, it's been long we last saw each other"

Liu Wei was overwhelmed by his father's concern, he didn't hesitate before replying.

"Yes, sure, I'll be there"

That day was particularly beautiful, through the board meeting, Liu Wei held onto his phone and a smile was plastered on his face, leaving the board members puzzled, wondering what happened to make their boss so happy.

Tuesday arrived slower than Liu Wei anticipated. He went to work early and retired early, took a dignified bath, dressed in one of his best suits and drove straight to his ancestral home, he had a dinner to attend.

He parked his car at his private parking spot when he was still staying at the ancestral home. He waited a little while inside his car as he relaxed himself. Though he was happy at his father's sudden concern, he didn't fail to think that maybe the dinner might not be a dinner after all. Stepping out of the car, he pushed such negative thoughts at the back of his head. He strode towards the inner gates that led to the living room. as he approached the gates, it automatically opened and he walked in.

As he approached the living room, he heard people chattering. His brows creased. 'Was father receiving visitors?' He gently pushed open the doors and before him was his father, another man notably in his sixties and a pretty girl sitting beside the elderly man. f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

Mr. Zang Ru was the first to notice Liu Wei.

"Liu Wei, son, come over, you arrived quite early " Mr Zang Ru waved at Liu Wei took come over. Liu Wei walked up-to them and greeted the elder accordingly and he glanced at the girl in her early twenties, pretty face with short hair, she smiled shyly at him and he immediately sighted an empty cushion and sat down.

Throughout the discussion, Liu Wei only replied to questions directed at him, same with the girl sitting beside the man. Liu Wei didn't look at her again, he felt that there was something really wrong with this dinner, but he didn't want to just conclude.
