Chương 275: Assistants
Han Meixiu heard the sound of the car arriving. She stood up and went outside of the study.
She was expecting the arrival of the twins.
As she approached the living room, she heard Madam Liu's voice and...
"Brother Long?" Han Meixiu was a bit surprised as the latter normally would be with her husband.
Liu Zilong who was carrying Little Yu was smiling broadly. "Sister in law! Little Zi will be a bit late. The meeting is taking longer than expected."
"Why are you here then? Your brother is still stuck there." Madam Liu who was carrying Little Rong asked. She saw her older son's car outside.
Normally, Liu Zilong should be really in the meeting but he escaped as the people present used him as a shield against his own brother.
Liu Zilong smiled. "I felt that these little angels are missing their gorgeous uncle. It's been a while since I played with them. How can I not listen to their silent pleas? "
"Your delusions Zilong is getting worse. How could they miss someone who popped up only a few times?" Madam Liu responded with a smirk.
"Even still, they know the warm aura of their one and only uncle. Right Little Yu?" Liu Zilong asked the little bun he was holding and the latter actually smiled back at him making him beamed with grinned. "See?" He didn't forget to show it to his mother.
"Little Yu smiles at everyone. You're not that special." Madam Liu commented.
Han Meixiu coughed a little to get the attention of the two. "Will you have your dinner here, Mommy Yi?" She asked and took Little Rong from her.
Madam Liu shook her head. "Your father is waiting. We normally wanted to send these two later after dinner but we need to do something later on."
After Madam Liu left, Liu Zilong requested to play with the twins while waiting for his brother.
Before Han Meixiu left the twins room after helping her brother in law settled down, she remembered to ask something. She was near the doorway when she turned around.
"Brother Long, you're not going to bring an assistant with you?"
"Ye Ming is coming so there's no need. Besides Miller is still on leave." Liu Zilong answered while picking up Little Rong to adjust her near him as Little Yu was already on his lap.
Han Meixiu nodded. She wondered if her cousin contacted her brother in law. She remembered Brother Long's request. "Did Han Mingxia contact you?"
Liu Zilong who was holding a bright colored toy to attract the twins attention paused before he answered. "Nope. She contacted you?" He asked lifting subtly his face without much emotion written on it.
"We met almost a week ago. I thought she will contact you after we separated. She was thinking of getting a job."
Liu Zilong nodded as he lowered his head. Disappointment quickly flash on his eyes but nobody noticed it.
"Maybe she found a more suitable job for her taste." He commented and gave his sister in law a slight smile.
When Han Meixiu left the room, Liu ZIlong fell into a deep thought. He would be lying if he didn't feel bad. He treated the woman right. Although there were teasing as it was his nature, he never crossed the line.
She was clearly an excellent assistant. Compared to Miller whom he could not dress up as a woman as he was clearly quite burly man, Han Mingxia was relatively more flexible. As for Zen who could be a possible replacement, he was too rigid.
Acting with another character was something Zen couldn't do. He's just like a big piece of wood.
Another point was, even though she's a woman she was never tempted. Yes, there were times that she would get occasional reaction fitted for a young lady, but she would pass the hurdle in a short amount of time. She was actually perfect to be his partner in crime.
It's just too bad that she wasn't satisfied being his assistant. It would really be interesting if she's around.
Liu Zilong sighed and continued playing the twins to lift his dampen mood. The twins who probably sensed his low mood cuddled and behaved relatively well while reaching out his hand.
After more than an hour Liu Zijian finally came home and the three had their dinner. Han Meixiu heard the details of the Liu Brothers business trip and the tentative length they would stay.
The site they would be visiting was the location of a resort considered as sustainable. It's a big project that considered multiple factors before even starting to develop.
After the initial inspection was reported, Liu Zijian wanted to pursue this project as it was actually very promising.
During the earlier stages, the local community was still somewhat against the development which was in contrast to the mayor of the area.
After a series of meetings the project was becoming more feasible. Recently, the leader of the community where the resort would be constructed was showing interest to the project provided that the basic necessities especially water would not be robbed off from them.
The leader also expressed his desire to see the sincerity of the owner. Since this particular project was big, Liu Zijian needed to be there personally. Liu Zilong wanted to go with him as he would act as a spokesperson. He's good with words and he was also curious about the entire area.
The Liu brothers would leave early the next day, thus Han Meixiu personally packed Liu Zijian's belongings and even forced herself to wake up early despite her husband's objection.
After the two left, she went back to sleep.
It was normal for Han Meixiu not to sleep properly when Liu Zijian wasn't around especially the first night. And this night wasn't an exception.
Their room would feel cold and big if she would stay in there. Her usual destination was the twins room.
In the midst of reviewing the next few days schedule, she felt her phone vibrated.
Han Meixiu normally didn't want to answer an unknown number calling her but for some reason there's a part of her urging to do so.
"Miss Han Meixiu…"
Han Meixiu heart thumped after hearing the voice of the other line.
"This is Bo Lin."
After hearing the caller's name, her hand holding the phone tightened. She knew who this man was. But the reason why he called her, she really had a bad feeling.
"Speak." She calmly asked. Perhaps she has been with Liu Zijian always thus she imitated his behavior without even realizing it. She walked towards the study and closed the door behind her gently.
"The leader..." Bo Lin said as his grip on the small paper was slightly shaking.
He could normally move some people as support, but the leader's target was one of their big clients.
Also, Zhang Huiling strictly ordered him not to interfere with her personal business and no matter what happened he should not move. If he ever did, he would trigger an irreversible damage to the organization.
One more thing was the leader's words before leaving that day.
"Bo Lin, after you receive my message. Proceed with what we talked about."
The message was received. But he couldn't just proceed without worrying about the leader he has been following.
The person he dedicated his life to serve. Her words gave him a sense of crisis. It was as if she was planning on abandoning the organization. He normally wouldn't care but he didn't want to be left behind.
The one he swore to serve was the person itself and not the organization they both belong to.
If she really wanted to leave, he would blindly follow without a second thought.
But he knew how hard she lead the organization for the past years and he could not just abandon it without ensuring its 'safety'. That was the reason why he wanted to do what the leader asked him to.
Since it would take time and he was indeed worried, he needed someone who should act first while he would finish the task the leader commanded.
And yes, he needed Han Meixiu. She was the only person who was allowed to enter the leader's private tea room. It was proof that she's a person the leader deeply trusted. Besides, he's also aware about Han Meixiu's identity. Given the resources of her family, she could locate and help the leader.
Bo Lin believed so. He dearly hoped for it.
Han Meixiu's lips formed a straight line and her eyebrows knitted as she processed the simple words of Bo Lin.
"Tell me the details." She asked. This man wouldn't call her for nothing. She knew he needed some help. But she couldn't just poked her head without knowing the necessary information.
Bo Lin tightly shut his eyes and his shaking hands opened the little piece of paper.
'Proceed'
The moment his eyes opened again, his conviction was resolute. If ever the leader would question his action today, he would face all the consequences. The important thing was her safety.
Besides, her words didn't tell him to prohibit asking help outside the organization.
As long as the leader would be safe, he's willing to pay for any price.
