Lawyer Wen rubbed his hands and grinned in anticipation.He then cast another look at his secretary cum granddaughter and explained,"In normal circumstances, the winner would be Lu Yeona.She has been modelling for a few years and has her own brand reputation.She also comes with the backing of chairwoman Lu and a few investors.Her upbringing is perfect and so is her education.When compared to Xie Eun, her upbringing has nothing to do with business, her education is focused in liberal arts with a minor in business management.She comes from a small village and has no network to speak of..As Shan Shan listed the points, she felt that her grandfather was right.The girl Xie Eun did not have much when compared to Lu Yeona..
But her grandfather was sure that Lu Enterprises was going to be transferred to Lu Yeona..Why?
Lawyer Wen then explained,"Ha!I had the same feeling when I'd run approached me the other day.It was a lost cause.I planned to say a few words of consolation and send her on the way but then she showed me the files....The old man then handed another open file to Shan Shan and said,"Read this agreement.This will does not require Xie Eun to have the right upbringing or education..It asks for a husband and what you can bring into the corporation.And Xie Eun has the trump card!The girl has been married for two years and even if we keep aside the much needed capital for Lu Enterprises, the tie up is enough to not just raise back the Lu Enterprises to it's former glory but take it even higher."
Shan Shan was also amazed as she went through the contract that was made in entirely one party's favor.And it was even signed by the famous reclusive CEO..Shan Shan shook her head and asked in amazement,"How did a village girl comebinto contact with such a predominant figure?No one in the trust is going to dare take the old woman's side and risk offending CEO Wolf's person.Because it would mean offending him directly!Grandfather how did that simple girl achieve that feat?"
Lawyer Wen could only resignedly answer,"I have no idea but I know that today's win belong to Xie Eun so Shan Shan,be prepared.We may even have the respected CEO Wolf visit us.I have already received a call from his lawyers that they are going to confirm Miss Xie's identity as his apprentice this afternoon.They are waiting for the go ahead of the CEO.This means that the news is going to be released when all the trustees are here..Until now, they are not too sure of they should believe the agreement but the timing of the press conference of Alpha Companies is clearly to warn everyone..
Shan Shan grinned at this and then suddenly pleaded in front of her grandfather,"Please let me sit in on today's meeting,Sir! Please!I want to see that uppity back stabbing bi*** fall on her face!Please grandpa,am I or am I not your favorite granddaughter?"
Lawyer Wen looked at his granddaughter who was in her twenties but behaving like a child and murdered,"Shan Shan you are my only granddaughter!Rest of your cousins and siblings are all males.."
"Yes Yes...grandfather is right!Inam your only granddaughter.Pretty please grandfather?"
The girl had inherited his wife's eyes and he could never say no to her so he agreed but then added sternly,"But you will behave seriously and with decorum!Take the notes throughout the meeting..!"
"Yes yes!Thank you grandfather!" With that Shan Shan raced out of the office and immediately started to work on her computer so that she would have no pending work at the time of the upcoming show..
A few minutes later, the receptionist guided Xie Eun who had come alone into the office waiting area.Seeing Xie Eun, Shan Shan who had been reserved last time shed that gloss and warmly welcomed the girl.She extended her hands to clutch at Xie Eun to congratulate her and then when the girl winced,Shan Shan checked her out and muttered her concern for the scratched hands as if they had been friends for years.She hissed and sympathetically muttered,"What happened?How did you get the scratches?"
Xie Eun felt a little wary of the over friendly Shan Shan so she replied with narrowed eyes,"I was bored so I climbed a tree to have a conversation with a snake!"
Xie Eun had expected Shan Shan to retreat and look at her as if she was mad but the girl just grinned and said,"Really?That is so cool!You know to climb trees and you know how to talk to snakes?Will you teach me?Uhh..not talking to snakes they are kind of slimy but I would love to learn to climb trees!I am a city girl you see so I never had a chance to learn!But I think it would be cool..."
Xie Eun:".."
