Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart-Chapter 59 - Unfilial Son

Chapter 59 - Unfilial Son

'Hao Huizhong, how could you? Have you gotten so corrupt that your conscience pricks you at every single little thing? Han Qing Qing... That was a close call.'

Locking up like nothing happened, Ye Cheng kept his phone in his pocket and enjoyed the ride deep in his thoughts.

"Young master Ye," the driver called out.

"Yes?"

"The master is calling," the driver informed him without peeling his eyes off the road.

"Okay. Pick the call."

The driver picked the call according to Ye Cheng's order and in no time a deep voice came through the car speaker.

"Gong Kang, where exactly are you?"

It was none other than the Master of the Ye family, Ye Sheng, father of Ye Cheng.

"I am currently driving, sir. I just passed District Beta, sir." The driver informed him and continued steadily on the steering.

Ye Cheng who had been seating quietly at the passengers seat watched keenly and listened on the situation that was happening.

'What does this old man want with Gong Kang?' he thought to himself as his ears stood at alert.

"Okay. Where is Ye Cheng?" The voice asked again.

'I knew it cannot be so simple. Has this old man found out about the accident? There's no way he would right?'

"The Young Master is with me right now, sir."

"Good. Ye Cheng!" Ye Sheng's voice came out much louder than before.

"Father." He had a look of Indifference on his face and crossed his hands in front of his chest as he waited for his father's reply.

"Where did you drop your phone at?"

"It is right here with me."

"What do you mean by it is right here with you when I have been trying to put a call through to you since and it hasn't worked out?"

"The phone fell into water. So I got a new one." He paused after his brief explanation and a thought came to mind. "I do not think you called to lecture me on how to pick calls and all that, father. Why did you call?"

"This unfilial son. Is that anyway to talk to your father like that?"

"State what it is or I would cut the call. I am very busy."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your mother spoilt you so much," Ye Sheng complained then cleared his throat.

If there was anything, he knew his son was not one that liked to be disturbed or to wait for long.

"Hmm, what's with the new project going on? Have you thoroughly looked into it first before giving consent to do business with them?"

"I think I can handle situation of the company all too well, father. You need not worry and take your time on your vacation, Chairman Ye."

"Tsk, naughty brat."

"If that would be all. I am already running late for an appointment. I need to focus, goodbye father."

As soon as he said his goodbye, he leaned forward and touched the red icon on Gong Kang's phone screen.

Right before Ye Sheng could respond to his son's rude remark, the call came to an end.

"Damn it, that stupid brat. How dare he behave high and mighty before me? Has he forgotten who made him CEO? He hasn't changed towards me... Hmm."

Ye Cheng relaxed his back against the car seat and gave out his order.

"Hurry, we are running late."

"Yes sir."

"Also, no news of my movement to any body. Be it my father or anyone."

"Absolutely, sir."

"Better. Now increase the speed and drive faster."

In Li Group's company, Li Xiu and her mother, Ding Jiaying sat down discussing when the doors to her office suddenly pushed open, revealing her cute looking assistant.

Her assistant walked inside and greeted her and her mother.

"Hao Zhi Ruo, what is it?" Li Xiu questioned the young lady.

"I am sorry ma, but the meeting we would be having with Mr. Kanga in thirty minutes time, we do not have the market strategy slides yet. I came here to remind you about them."

"What? What do you mean by you do not have them?"

"Ma, I..."

"Who was the one in charge of preparing that slides? Wasn't it the marketing team?" Li Xiu interrupted her before she could get a chance to answer.

"Ma'am although the market team was in charge of it, Li Jing was appointed to handle everything about the slides by you."

The words her secretary spoke were like tiny time bombs in Li Xiu's ear which were waiting for the right time to explode.

She had completely forgotten about all she had appointed to Li Jing as the latter had delivered slides and documents for them since.

It was only the slide for this meeting that Li Jing still had in her possession. This was due to the fact that she dismissed the strategy, saying she needed something more, thus making Li Jing go back to her drawing board to get things redone.

It had been annoyingly devastating for Li Jing on that Thursday considering she gave her all to that slide.

Yet her sister who was bent on making her suffer asked her to redo it.

Unfortunately, she would have done it over weekend but the annoying sight she met on Friday at her ex's boyfriend's house changed her plans for the weekend.

"Why didn't you inform me about the slides since? At least you had all morning," Li Xiu complained.

"I did send you a text message when you weren't picking your calls the time you had a visitor."

Li Xiu's brows creased. What visitor was her assistant talking about? The only visitors she had since were her mother and...

"Mr. Duan, ma."

Her eyes opened wide in realization and she bit down on her lower lip lightly.

Mrs. Ding Jiaying who had been listening to their conversation could not help but wonder.

She returned her gaze to Li Xiu and waited for her to explain.

"And what were you doing to ignore her?"
