The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 635: Chapter 616:

After the secretary left, Lin Ziwen felt a heavy pressure in her heart. As an assistant who was temporarily exercising the powers of the CEO, she knew she was still just an assistant. Her capabilities were not on par with Li Ruo’s, and had she not been influenced by Li Ruo over the years, she probably wouldn’t have been able to handle this job.

Just as Lin Ziwen sat motionless on her chair, Minister Li from the Human Resources department pushed the door open and entered, a plump woman—the very one who Li Ruo used to jokingly say wanted to marry Ye Chen, with a rear as broad as a millstone.

"Minister Li, you’re here?" Lin Ziwen hurried forward with respectful greeting. As an assistant now acting as the CEO, she had to maintain the proper attitude, firstly as an assistant and then as a CEO. Although as an assistant her status was far lower than a minister’s, from the CEO’s perspective, she had to be more imposing. It was a delicate balance that she had to handle with precision.

"Um, Assistant Lin, did you need something?" Minister Li walked straight in.

"Please, have a seat!" Lin Ziwen quickly ushered Minister Li to the side and then to the sofa. Lin Ziwen personally made her a cup of coffee, and the two sat face to face. Lin Ziwen was at a loss for words, but it was Minister Li of HR who smiled and said, "Assistant Lin, is there something you wanted to discuss with me?"

"Well, I heard you were resigning, so I specifically wanted to talk to you about it!" Lin Ziwen said with a faint smile, "With ministers leaving the company, and several managers gone too, if this continues, I’m afraid the company might collapse. Minister Li, what difficulties are you facing? Why are you leaving?"

"This..." The plump woman gave an awkward smile and then said helplessly, "Alas, everyone knows that without Heavenly Reversal Gang in Jianghuai City, the Mad Dragon Gang is running rampant. Tianya Group has suffered retaliation from the Mad Dragon Gang, and even Si Yang Group has closed its doors, temporarily stopping work. They can bear the loss, but we cannot. However, our leaders are facing enormous threats. Yesterday, when I stepped out, I nearly got clubbed in the parking garage. Last night, when I took my child shopping, a steel ball came out of nowhere and hit my child on the head, causing a lot of bleeding, so... I hope you can truthfully relay to Mr. Li that I’ve been an old employee of Tianya Group. I love Tianya Group, I love the working atmosphere here, but given the current situation, I really can’t continue."

Lin Ziwen became anxious as she listened, and quickly asked, "Then... your child is okay, right?"

"It’s fine, just a small cut. A little medicine and it’s no big deal!" Minister Li smiled.

"Did you call the police?" Lin Ziwen let out a sigh of relief and wondered to herself if she had a child and encountered the same thing as Minister Li, what would she do? Would she choose to leave Tianya Group? Lin Ziwen had no confidence.

"I did, but what good did it do?" Minister Li shook her head helplessly, "The police just came to make a record, then advised to be more careful when going out in the future. There’s nothing the police can do!"

"Then, can’t you consider a leave of absence without pay for Mr. Li’s sake?" Lin Ziwen asked hastily.

"Sigh, I’ve thought about that, but I believe the issues in Jianghuai City won’t be resolved anytime soon!" Minister Li gave a sorrowful smile. She had watched Tianya Group grow step by step, transforming from a domestic company into an international one. She was so reluctant to leave, so unwilling to give up, but she couldn’t sacrifice the happiness and health of her entire family.

"Well then," Lin Ziwen said helplessly, "I’ll approve it."

"Thank you, Assistant Lin!" Minister Li smiled, then stood up to take her leave. Watching Minister Li leave, Lin Ziwen felt an unpleasant feeling inside. With Minister Li gone, the company had lost yet another longtime employee. Many people silently walked out of their offices and stood in the hallway, watching Minister Li, who had interviewed them for their jobs, with tearful eyes, and together said, "Minister Li, are you really leaving?"

"Hehe, yes. Please, everyone, stay and contribute to Tianya Group!" Minister Li waved to them all, and at that moment, she couldn’t bear it any longer. Inside Tianya Group, eighty percent of the staff had gone through her hands during their hiring process, and thirty percent of them had been interviewed by her personally. Facing such a deeply sentimental place, she too began to cry.

As she turned to enter the elevator, the group gave her a round of applause, sending her off with the last sounds of their clapping.

"Minister Li, if you have time, you must come back to visit!" the crowd shouted. Finally, Minister Li couldn’t hold back her emotions and wept loudly alone in the elevator.

Tianya Group was facing a personnel crisis. Even though sales in the Central Business District were booming, if all the talent were to leave, then there would be no point in continuing the business. Li Ruo, far away in the United States, was completely unaware of this situation.

...

In Southwest China, the Thirteen Eagles, originally driven out of Yunnan and roaming between Myanmar and Vietnam, suddenly received a secret signal. Afterwards, the leader of the Thirteen Eagles immediately went to a location in Yangon, Myanmar, and met with a mysterious person.

The leader of the Thirteen Eagles was called Vulture. One day in March, he took over a dozen of his little brothers, armed with guns, and drove through the night to Yangon. It was dark, the moon was bright, and more than a dozen people were crammed into a van, filled with swirling smoke. All of the more than a dozen men were tough characters who had been around Southwest China for a long time. What kind of people hadn’t they seen? If they weren’t aggressive, then they would be swallowed by those who were.

Thus, Vulture had always taught his little brothers that they must put on a fierce front, even if they couldn’t beat the opponent, they must display a powerful aura to overwhelm the other side.

"Big brother, we’re almost in Yangon, huh!" the little brother driving laughed.

"Mm!" said the burly man in the back, his body covered in tattoos, with a large eagle with full wings on both his chest and back. Although it was deep into the night in Myanmar, the weather was still cool, not frozen like in the Three Eastern Provinces. Liu San and others were now hiding in the Changbai Mountains, setting up tents, occasionally sending little brothers down the mountain to make purchases, put up several large tents, and then set up camp on the mountain. Other than the cold weather, there were basically no other issues.

"There’s a checkpoint!" the little brother in the passenger seat blurted, immediately picking up the carbine from under his feet.

"Get ready to fight!" Vulture said with a cold smile.

At that moment, two men dressed in Burmese police uniforms immediately stopped the Thirteen Eagles’ vehicle and then spoke in Burmese, "Stop the car for a side inspection!"

"Big brother, they’re speaking Bird Language, can’t understand a thing!" the little brother in the passenger seat began to get a little nervous.

"Damn, let’s shoot first!" Vulture bellowed, and the little brother in the passenger seat immediately raised his gun and fired.

Pop pop pop...

A burst of gunfire killed the two guys on the spot, and the little brothers all showed a hint of a smile, saying, "Haha, that’s sorted, let’s go quick!"

After driving for ten minutes, they finally reached the location where the mysterious figure had invited them. At the entrance of a restaurant, they all jumped out of the car, cigarettes in their mouths, shirts off their backs, and at first glance looked like bad news, especially the leader, covered in tattoos and clutching a cigarette, his single eyelids giving him a particularly wicked look.

"Where’s the person?" Vulture asked, surprised, looking around.

"Big brother, could it be someone’s playing us?" asked one of the little brothers in shock.

"Damn, if he dares!" Vulture spat out, his saliva directly knocking a mosquito in midair to the ground, and said in a cold voice, "If he dares to play me, I’ll squash him!"

With that, he viciously stomped on the mosquito. The mosquito immediately burst into a blob of blood plasma, mixed with saliva, splattering onto the leather shoe of a little brother nearby.

"Do you want to squash me?" A black-clothed man appeared behind the crowd. The man looked decent enough, but his eyes were particularly sinister. Even a tough character like Vulture couldn’t compare to him. Vulture was stunned and quickly said, "Are... are you Mr. Shadow from the phone?"

"Yes!" The man nodded and said, "Look at the mess you’ve made, actually killing police in Myanmar publicly. Do you realize how big of a deal this is? If it weren’t for me smoothing things over in time, you would probably all be in Myanmar’s prison by now!"

Hiss...

Everyone immediately took a sharp breath. This guy’s tone was truly grand. Running things singlehandedly in Myanmar? To think he could clear up the chaos they caused and wipe away their crime of murder, it seemed that the other party had some skills and resources. Vulture immediately laughed and said, "Mr. Shadow, is what you said on the phone for real?"

"Come, let’s talk inside!" The black-clothed man made a welcoming gesture.

Vulture immediately strode forward and entered, feeling very proud inside. For someone so capable to treat him with such politeness, he must hold him in high regard. Hence, Vulture immediately had a bold idea in his heart.
