Chapter 290 - Bao Zi (1/2)
Two months had passed since the chaotic time in the Yue International Enterprise. Ever since then, the said company also took a blow as their stocks gradually declined.
Fortunately, with the backing of L-tech innovative financing company and the partnership between the Han Corporation, the Yue International Enterprise got back on its feet and soon will be labeled as an empire.
However, no matter how chaotic it has for the past two months, Seraphina ordered an information lockdown and only other influential people knew about what really happened and who are the people involved.
[6 pm; inside Seraphina's office]
A light knock awoke Seraphina from her deep contemplation. Without turning her head, she permitted the person to enter.
When the door was opened, Henry Man's figure came into sight. His aura and demeanor adapted to have a more respectable man. Scrutinizing him as he bowed his head towards her, Seraphina must admit that Henry Man became much reliable than ever. Probably after these months with her, he realized her indirect hints of who's the person he was following.
”Chairwoman, you asked for me?”
”Yeah,” Seraphina gestured him to take a seat at anywhere in the set of sofa's at the center of the office before she stood from her executive chair and made her way to the head seat. After settling down, as if on cue, Seraphina's assistant who is, in fact, Rex entered the room and served tea.
After his job was finished, Rex wordlessly left after bowing his head towards Seraphina and Henry Man. When only the two of them was left alone again, Seraphina lightly sighs.
”I'm retiring.” She announced indifferently as she perched her elbow on the armrest and propped the back of her hand on her jaw. Her legs crossed and slightly swung her one foot, to and fro. Her sight depicted how bored she was.
Hearing her announcement, Henry Man froze in an instant. ”R -- retiring? Madam Chairwoman -- ” he stuttered as he was almost rendered speechless by her words just now.
He added, ”chairwoman, isn't too early for you to retire?”
”Early?” She arched her brows and turned her attention back to Henry Man. Observing him, Seraphina doesn't need to guess all the myriad questions floating in his mind causing him to have a lump on his throat.
”I don't think anything will change if I retire or not… after all, you occupied most of the job and executed it with succession. Which of course, made me satisfied placing you to your position.” Seraphina calmly uttered. Indeed, the very reason why she observed his loyalty before was that Seraphina didn't intend to stay long enough in the business world. All she wanted was to keep the hard work of what her grandfather started to land to the hands of the people she could trust.
