Back in the conference room, post lunch, the contract signing proceeded sans any glitches but the atmosphere was anything but cordial. The initial hostility the two presidents held for each other was replaced by sheer hatred.
The unknown pressure was felt by all those present which included Meili. Without Liang telling her about the conversation between him and Jinjing, she could guess that it did not go well. But she did not know what role did Luwei play in it. It did not cross her mind that there could be a possible amorous relation amid Luwei and Jinjing.
Jinjing on the other hand, had asked Luwei for a couple of days of leave and left for city B. It had been long since she visited her parents. As there was no more hiding from Liang, she did not need to refrain herself from meeting her parents, the parents who loved her unconditionally and gave her strength to deal with her problems. She left that very afternoon.
Liang was unware that Jinjing left for city B. He stayed back in city S, in order to grab another chance to talk to her. He searched for her in the office but could not find. He dropped the idea of asking Luwei, as he knew he would not tell.
Meili felt bad looking at how desperate and helpless her dear brother was currently looking. She could do nothing to comfort him. Liang knew Jinjing's address in city S. the siblings headed to her apartment, with the hope to find her, but they returned disappointed.
In the hotel, sitting on the edge of the bed, Meili tried to comfort her brother by saying "don't worry bro…. we will find her."
Liang could only nod. Restless, He ran his hand through his hair. He had done that multiple times since afternoon. He looked lost, disheveled and defeated. Liang fell back on the bed as if lifeless. He decided to stay back for a few days and asked Meili to return to city B tomorrow.
There needed to be someone to look after company affairs in his absence. He had planned to go back to Yun enterprise to search for Jinjing. 'she would come back to work' he thought.
The next day, post breakfast, Meili left for city B. She was reluctant to leave her brother in such a pitiable state but she had no other option.
Despite not having eaten anything post the lunch from the previous day, Liang had to force himself to eat in order to gain energy to search his love. Quickly, after seeing Meili off to the airport, he asked the driver to head to Yun Enterprise.
In Yun enterprise, nobody dared to stop the president of Sheng Corp. from accessing the office building. He looked around and walked towards the receptionist, who was blushing profusely when such a powerful and handsome as hell man approached her.
"where is Ms. Lee Jinjing's office?" he asked in a commanding voice.
The receptionist replied meekly "it's on the topmost floor, right next to the president's office…. I can guide you there…. President Sheng."
He only hummed in reply.
The two stepped into the president's elevator, which was designed to go only to the topmost floor. Liang stood erect in an imposing manner to the front of the elevator, while the awe-struck receptionist, stood a few steps behind. Whereas the liftman stood with his head slightly bent in respect.
The receptionist was ogling at his manly figure. The broad shoulders, his muscular arms, which could not be hidden even under two layers of clothing. His long strong legs…. she never thought she could stand so close to such a magnetic personality. Lost in her thoughts she did not realize when they reached their destination.
Waiting for her to lead the way, Liang turned to look at her and found her gawking at him. Witnessing the embarrassing scene, the liftman cleared his throat loudly
"ahem… ahem"
"…." The receptionist averted her gaze feeling ashamed and quietly guided Liang to Jinjing's office.
