Capítulo 29: Chapter 29 A Single Sentence From Her Changed Him
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang city.
In the president's office in Fei Corporation's building.
A handsome man dressed in a brown suit was reporting to his superior. Occasionally, he would glance at the person sitting behind the large desk. This man was Xiao Fan, Fei Mo's assistant.
Fei Mo was looking at the document in front of him expressionlessly. He looked focused, but he was clearly distracted.
Xiao Fan instinctively slowed down when he spoke. He was taken aback. The president had always been focused at work. He was rarely distracted at work. However, at this moment, it was obvious that the president's mind was not on work. The president had a slightly helpless expression on his face.
Helpless? Was there anything or anyone in Jiang City capable of rendering the President of Fei Corporation helpless? Xiao Fan, who had been by Fei Mo's side for so many years, had yet to meet anyone or anything that could make Fei Mo feel helpless. How could he not be surprised by this?
The office was deathly silent.
After a while, Xiao Fan said, "President Fei, are you feeling unwell? Should I summon the doctor here?"
Fei Mo did not even glance at Xiao Fan. With a morose expression on his face, he set the documents down on the table. "Xiao Fan..."
"Yes."
Fei Mo looked at Xiao Fan with a complicated look in his eyes. After a long while, he finally asked in a barely audible voice, "Do you believe in love at first sight?"
"..." Xiao Fan was thoroughly shocked. Love at first sight? Did spring finally arrive for President Fei? His mind went into overdrive. He was curious which noble lady had successfully piqued the president's interest.
"Do you?" Fei Mo asked again with a slight frown when he saw Xiao Fan keeping quiet for a long time. He felt as though he had asked the wrong person about this. After all, Xiao Fan was also a workaholic like him. Both of them had always been single.
"I believe," Xiao Fan hastily said. Then, he solemnly said, "I believe in love at first sight. However… President Fei, who did you fall in love with?" Although he believed in love at first sight, he was even more curious about the object of Fei Mo's affection! Who was the woman with whom he had fallen in love with? A certain woman's name appeared in his mind at this moment. However, when he recalled what had happened, a hint of pity and anger flashed in his eyes.
How could Fei Mo answer Xiao Fan? In the end, he feigned seriousness and asked, "How's the discussion with the Poly Oil Company coming along?"
Xiao Fan, naturally, knew Fei Mo was avoiding his question. He replied, "The discussion isn't going very well. The Zhang Corporation is competing with us to cooperate with the Poly Oil Company as well." After he finished speaking, he placed a document in front of Fei Mo.
After Fei Mo opened the black folder with his slender fingers, his eyes glinted coldly as he read the document. It did not take long before his expression turned colder, and his lips were pursed tightly into a line. He was already in a bad mood, but when he read the document, his mood worsened.
Xiao Fan who was sitting across Fei Mo could keenly feel the oppressive aura Fei Mo emitted. It was rather difficult to breathe.
The atmosphere fell to a freezing point. Xiao Fan had not seen Fei Mo so angry in a long time now. The last time Fei Mo was so angry, he made the people who angered him disappear from Jiang City. What was going to happen this time?
Fei Mo's eyes that were staring at the document turned colder and colder. He did not even try to hide his displeasure.
Xiao Fan's back was drenched in cold sweat, and his hands trembled slightly.
Fei Mo seemed to emit killing intent, at this moment. His deep and dark eyes were like that of a demon that was about to go on a killing spree.
At this moment, a loud ringtone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room.
Xiao Fan, who was already on tenterhooks, started slightly. He felt his heart sink. He did not remember if he had set his phone to silent before entering the president's office. He knew how much the president hated to be interrupted during work. After a moment had passed, he discovered, to his relief, that it was not his phone that was ringing.
Xiao Man could not help but feel pity for the unlucky person who called the president at this time.
As the phone continued to ring, Fei Mo's expression turned even colder, and the killing intent he exuded intensified. However, as soon as he saw the name flashing on the screen of his phone, his cold expression and aura disappeared immediately.
He hastily answered the call and put the phone to his ear. There was no sound from the other end of the line. He checked to see if the call had disconnected but found it was still connected.
Currently, Yun Yiyi who was on the other end of the phone was already seated in her car. She had hesitated for a long time before she finally decided to call Fei Mo. She had planned to hang up when Fei Mo answered the call. She was slightly flustered. Did he have his phone in hand? He had answered so quickly!
Fei Mo waited for a long time for Yun Yiyi to speak. However, after a long time had passed, she still did not speak. His lips open; he was going to take the initiative to speak when…
"That..." Yun Yiyi inhaled deeply to calm her nerves and suppressed the embarrassment and awkwardness she felt before she asked in a soft voice, "Are you busy with work?"
She still did not know how she should address him. Clearly, addressing him as President Fei would anger him. However, in her opinion, if she had directly called him by his name, he might be displeased with how presumptuous she was.
"I'm not busy." As soon as Fei Mo heard Yun Yiyi's voice, he felt as though a ray of sunlight had shone on his heart. He felt warm and happy. The corners of his mouth instinctively lifted into a smile, and his eyes were gentle.
Xiao Fan was shocked. The president was clearly furious just a second ago! Why did his anger dissipate in just a blink of an eye? Moreover, a hint of gentleness could even be seen in his eyes! Moreover, the decisive, cold, and ruthless president was actually smiling! This was simply the most shocking thing he had seen in a long time! Which noble lady was so powerful that she could affect the president's mood so thoroughly?
