Chương 32: Chapter 32: Dejiang's Overwhelming Help

Secretary Dandan would have never thought, in her entire 24 years, that someone would try to bribe her with such a huge amount of money. She doesn't know anymore if this out of desperation or the other party was just trying to pry on someone else's business by taking advantage of their wealth and power. She was so angry that someone would try to use this method against her. Her compassionate morals and principles were raging after that ominous bickering. She was a loyal secretary after all.

She doesn't even have the appetite to eat anymore. It was already lunch time and her colleagues had already invited her to eat but she stayed in her table instead. Whenever she recalls that inauspicious morning, it makes her madder than ever before.

This morning, it was 8:30 am when the very threatening Secretary Yang Bo called her and demanded such tactful unreasonable requests. She was used getting calls from the famous secretary since time to time he would ask where her boss was, what her boss was doing, pass a message and usual questions that a husband's secretary would ask.

But this was the very first time that she received a very demanding request from them that she only thought would happen in late night or afternoon gangster dramas she saw on TV when she was young. She was both scared and delirious of the situation.

"Good morning, Secretary Dandan. I've heard that Mr. Mo Dejiang will be visiting your company later and I would like you to send me a detailed report of Young Miss and Mo Dejiang's afternoon affairs." Secretary Yang Bo dutifully requested. He sounded so normal but his requests were a very sensitive matter. It made Secretary Dandan uncomfortable like this was a normal thing to pry on someone else's private matters.

"Uhh,... I'm sorry but I am not allowed to disclose such information. Even though if it's Young Master Hongqi, I think it's best to respect my boss' private affairs." Secretary Dandan retorted like a loyal knight to her princess.

"Secretary Dandan, didn't you need five million yuan for your brother's hospitalization? We can give you twice the amount of money. Just send me a report before this day ends and we will immediately deposit the money." Secretary Yang Bo shamelessly offered.

His words made Secretary Dandan tremble and speechless from fear. It was really like those gangster dramas when she was young.

"Secretary Yang Bo... this is too much. What will happen if I don't follow?" Secretary Dandan nervously asked. Regardless of what will happen, her boss must know that her husband is spying on her. "But why is he spying on her?" Secretary Dandan curiously thought.

"Nothing much. I'm just offering an amount of money to help but of course it's not free." Secretary Yang Bo calmly insinuated.

Secretary Dandan's impression towards Secretary Yang Bo turned 180 degrees. She never thought that this secretary could spout such malicious words in a very calm way. She never encountered a scary person in her entire secretarial years.

Most of their clients were friendly and her boss was never a shady person as well. Now that she had a glimpse of the scary side of this job. She should know how to handle them better next time such impudent matter occurs.

"I'm sorry but I think this conversation is over. Just like you Secretary Yang Bo, my loyalty will never be bought. Good bye and good day." Secretary Dandan icily answered and ended the call without waiting for Secretary Yang Bo to answer.

The secretary's buzzer suddenly rang and it made Secretary Dandan surprised in great extent. Her mind was somewhere else and the alarm just took all of her thoughts away. She immediately answered her boss' call.

"Boss."

"Dandan, why are you not taking your lunch yet?" Xiulan asked in such a concerned manner.

Her boss is really nice. She must protect her at all cost!

"Boss, I'm not hungry yet. But thank you for asking." Secretary Dandan thankfully said.

"I see. But eat as soon as you get hungry. Skipping meals are not part of this company's rules." Xiulan teased.

"Of course, boss." Dandan chuckled from her boss' way of displaying her concerns.

"By the way, an important guest will be visiting me today. I told him I'm free during my lunch break time. He might come any sooner. His name is Mo Dejiang so please lead him once he's here. But if you're going to have your lunch, go and eat. I'll just wait for him." Xiulan kindly said.

"Okay, boss. Noted. I'm not really hungry yet so I will stay longer in my table." Dandan obliged.

"Okay. Thank you, Dandan." Xiulan thanked her and ended the call.

"So... that scary Secretary Yang Bo was right. A man named Mo Dejiang will visit my boss today. But how the hell did he know?" Secretary Dandan suspiciously thought.

Secretary Dandan busied herself by writing overdue reports for the HR department and weighing if when she should tell to her boss that her husband tried to spy on her when suddenly she heard an uproar coming from the hallway. She frowned at the sight of the female employees panicking outside and they were all lining up to check the person that went out of the elevator.

The uproar was so loud that Secretary Dandan had to go outside her cubicle and shut the employees but she immediately halted when she a very handsome, dashing man was walking towards her direction.

The handsome man was with two bodyguards and their aura was rather very dangerous and unfriendly. It added to the handsome man's majestic and imperious aura. He was overly dangerous and sexy at the same time. All the girls swooned. The last time they felt something like this when their boss' husband, Xing Hongqi, visited this estrogen place.

The dashing man passed Secretary Dandan and went directly to the secretary's cubicle and buzzed the secretarial bell. Secretary Dandan snapped out of her reverie and quickly ran towards her cubicle.

"Good afternoon, sir. May I know if you have a meeting with Mrs. Xing?" Secretary Dandan politely and nervously asked. It was really rare for them to see a handsome man since this place reeks of women.

A man only appears in this place when either it's an old man who were their loyal clients/stockholders or gay secretaries deployed by the clients and stockholders.

"Yes, I have a meeting with Miss Song. Please tell her, Mo Dejiang is here." Dejiang stressed the word 'Miss Song'. He really felt abnormally irritated when the secretary said the word 'Mrs. Xing'.

It was like deliberately a slap on his face that he will never have a chance. He was so bitter about it.

"Ah, yes. Boss informed me about you, Mr. Mo." Secretary Dandan politely said. She called Xiulan first and quickly notified her boss that her special guest has arrived. Xiulan affirmed that they can go inside.

"Please, this way." Secretary Dandan stand up and courteously smiled at Mo Dejiang before she leads the way to Xiulan's office.

In another luxurious office...

"Young Master, Mo Dejiang has arrived in your wife's office. I apologize that I wasn't able to convince her secretary to work with us." Secretary Yang Bo apologetically said.

"It's fine. At least we know that her secretary is loyal to her." Hongqi nonchalantly said while his eyes are busy browsing his iPad. He was currently busy with stocks analysis and also monitoring the price of firearms from his respective suppliers.

"Yes, very fortunate." Secretary Yang Bo agreed.

"I'm sure whatever their agenda today is harmless. I was just being a nosy husband." Hongqi said and gave an over the top smile to Secretary Yang Bo.

Secretary Yang Bo slightly sweated by his Young Master's suspicious smile. He knows that this demanding king was not satisfied with his work today.

"Anyway, I want to know about the explosion yesterday. Good thing that damn explosion was at the same time the fireworks were released for an onstage performance. It could have made unnecessary panic and threat to everyone. I heard some punks were playing with a damn grenade? Did I hear that right? A f*cking grenade?" Hongqi angrily questioned. When he heard about this, he just wanted to shout at everybody. Who the hell managed to let these punks play with a grenade on top of the dome? He was furious.

"About that, I've heard that these students were part of a syndicate. They were there to create chaos." Secretary Yang Bo informed. He was also furious that their security was such a failure to let these punks get their way inside the dome without any problems. Add that they even managed to pull out a grenade.

"Which syndicate? Did you already report this to the higher ups? It seems that it's not supposed to be our problem. They are engaging public threat. They were not even aiming any specific person." Hongqi suggested. His anger was rising to the heavens.

"Yes, we have reported it as soon as we got the news about it. We weren't able to get a photo of them since they blended well with the sea of fans. Apparently, the higher ups are already aware of this matter. According to my intel from the government, they seem to have a problem with terrorists inside our country. There is no lead yet where they are hiding." Secretary Yang Bo spilled.

"T… A what? Terrorist? Shit. This is insane. I can't believe the country has this kind of problem right now yet they didn't even notify us big companies." Hongqi angrily uttered. If he knew about this issue then he could have put the security for DMA to its very best.

"Report this to all of our affiliates and make sure the security in each establishment will be monitored thoroughly. Add extra precaution, more guards, and immediately apprehend suspicious people. I can't really believe this." Hongqi gravely commanded and sighed frustratingly,.

"Crap. Also secretly put more guards on Xiulan's company building and the Song Enterprise. Double Xiulan's guard and make sure their sight won't leave her. Understand?" Hongqi added more instructions and Secretary Yang Bo patiently listed them all.

Once Hongqi was finished giving instructions, Secretary Yang Bo immediately left and started his work rigorously.

Back to Xiulan's office…

"What?! You went there on your own?!" Mo Dejiang unbelievably exclaimed as he listens to his dearest Xiulan's stories.

Dejiang visited Xiulan today to send more helpful files and information that his online casino accumulated these past months. He can just send this through email but of course he will use this opportunity to visit his dearest crush.

Apparently, the stupid husband, Xing Hongqi, was at his men's tail for quite some time now and they kept blocking his harmless agenda. And that harmless agenda was to get current pictures of Xiulan. He just wanted her pictures yet that stupid husband was too bold to start a silent war with him.

"Yes, I did. I was really desperate to find more clues." Xiulan explained. She just shared her encounter of the two culprits behind the explosion in DMA yesterday to Mo Dejiang. She didn't expect that this flashy man would react exaggeratedly.

"Xiulan… don't do that again, okay? That's really dangerous. If you want a companion, I will lend you one of my best subordinates. She's a woman so you'll be at ease with her. She's really good in martial arts and marksmanship!" Dejiang immediately suggested and offered his number one female bodyguard, Lau Zhu.

"Ah! Good timing! I really can't ask anyone or even hire a bodyguard for this mission. Thankfully you opened this topic. May I really borrow one of your subordinates?" Xiulan was really thankful that Dejiang raised this topic.

Finally, Mo Dejiang is damn delighted right now that he has unlocked a new opportunity to be close and get more current news about his loveliest Xiulan. Damn, he wanna scream so bad. He was so happy.

"O—OF COURSE! Yes! Yes! Yes, you can borrow her! I can send her here tomorrow immediately so she can help you. " Mo Dejiang excitedly said that he almost exposed his deepest darkest feelings.

Xiulan laughed at Dejiang's sudden enthusiasm. She was not sure why he suddenly got excited but she was thankful that he's willing to help her. It's unfortunate that she can't ask her husband for help. Hongqi will have his own security company soon. As his wife in name, she should at least use that privilege, right? But damn with such secrets like this, she can't even take advantage of Hongqi's surreal and amazing resources.
