CHAPTER 546
"I am Mr Sun from Bai Jewelries."
It was shocking, yes. But all Bai Renxiang could do was arch a brow. She leaned back until her body rested fully against the chair.
"With my little introduction, I hope my name did ring a bell in CEO Bai's head," the man, Mr Sun spoke again.
"It did. But I wonder how you got this number and why a board member of Bai Jewelries would be calling me," Bai Renxiang openly voiced out her thoughts.
"Fear not, CEO Bai. I have no ill intentions toward you."
"Star the reason for your call," Bai Renxiang wanted this to be cut down the chase. She had important things to do.
"You really are a busy person, aren't you? Anyway, I called to ask for a meeting," Mr Sun spoke.
"A meeting?"
"Yes. It is urgent and helpful to you," he elaborated.
Bai Renxiang thought for a while before she asked another question. "Why?"
"Why what?" he asked in confusion.
"Why do you want a meeting that will be helpful to me?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You will know when we meet. If you believe me, let's meet. I will be waiting for you at KM Restaurant in a few minute," he told her.
Bai Renxiang sighed and said nothing after that and the call went dead. She looked out the floor-to-ceiling window in her office and pondered over the call.
She was contemplating about his request for a meeting. One part of her mind was saying it was all a set up to ruin her again. It might be another one of Bai Ming and her mother's schemes.
But the other part of her mind was telling her not to miss this meeting. The voice in ths part was louder and stronger and more sure. It was as if she would regret not going to the meeting.
With her thoughts weighing the pros and construction, she finally decided to go. If his words were really true and would be helpful to her as she thinks it would, then she did not want to have any regrets later.
She informed Xia Xinyi and Jinhai of her outing and instructed them to handle things that they could. By the time she arrived at the parking lot, the driver was waiting for her as she had informed him earlier.
Bai Renxiang made sure that she informed Li Fengjin's men about the meeting. As promised to their boss, they assured her that they would be in look out for her.
Everything being set, they left with the destination in mind. It did not take up to him hour before they arrived at the said restaurant. Bai Renxiang alighted from the car and took in the magnificent building before her.
While doing that, she secretly observed her surroundings of anything or anyone suspicious.
Who knows?
There might be a journalist or a photographer ready to jump in to get any news for a scandalising headline the next day. She can't take chances.
Her life was quiet and blissful. She did not need any drama in it. She nodded silently at the bulky man beside her before taking several steps toward the restaurant.
As soon as she got in, a waiter came to attend to her. But when she mentioned she had a reservation under the name Mr Sun, he nodded and lead them to a private booth.
The bulky man in black suit knocked and opened the door for her. They stepped into the he booth. Mr Sun smiled and stood up to greet her. "Welcome and good afternoon, CEO Bai and..." he trailed off as he knew not the man Standung behind Bai Renxiang.
Sensing his loss of words, Bai Renxiang guessed the reason and said, "He is my bodyguard."
"Oh, I see," Mr Sun nodded. "What I need to tell you is a private matter CEO Bai. I can't do that with your–"
"That's not a problem. You can say whatever you have to say in his presence," Bai Renxiang cut him off.
Mr Sun's opened lips shut close into a thin line and he nodded. "If it makes you feel at ease, we will do as you say," he agreed.
"Please, let us sit down," he quickly added.
The bulky man walked over to the chair opposite Mr Sun and held it out for her. "Please, sit here ladyboss."
"Thank you," she gave a curt nod before sitting.
Mr Sun also sat down. But instead of going g for the briefcase on the other chair, he went for the menu.
"Why don't we place an ordered before we start business?" He suggested.
Bai Renxiang sighed and shook her head. "As you already know, I am a busy person. I squeezed this time out of my schedule to meet you. Not only that I have a meeting in an hour's time so you had better make it brief."
Mr Sun was left speechless again but he quickly covered up like a profesaional he is. To say that he is not surprise at her change since the past few years would be a lie.
She was no longer the respectful, sweet employee of Bai Jewelries back then. She is now a boss of her own. Deep within Jim, he nodded as he was impressed.
'She can take care of things just fine,' he thought.
"Alright then. Let us not make you late for your next meeting and also keep the gentleman Standung for too long he agreed again.
Taking up the briefcase, he gently placed it on the table between them and began to open it. As he did that he spoke.
"As you already know, I am one of the powerful board member of Bai Jewelries. I called you for this meeting because I want to help you take back what you once owned."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe took out a big brown envelope, pushed the briefcase aaside and placed it at the centre of the table.
"Why do you want to help me?" Bai Renxiang asked the question that has being bothering.
She tie not remember sharing any close bond with this man. Except for the fact that he was her superior and she had to respect him, there was nothing else connecting them.
Mr Sun smiled. But that smile was one that showed amusement. It was a regretful one.
"I made a promise to the one who helped the company stand again. I promised to support her and her child with those shares she gave me. It was what gave me such power I hold now," he said.
Bai Renxiang's brows furrowed.
"Your mother," he gave her a hint. Seeing that things were becoming clearer for her, he continued. "The day after her divorce with Mr Bai, she asked for a meeting. I was her most trusted person in the company."
"What did she tell you?" Bai Renxiang inquired as her curiosity was getting piqued.
"She made me promise to remain quiet and let things happen according to Mr Bai's plan. Your mother forced me to accept your shares for this purpose I have now which is to help you," Mr Sun explained.
Knowing that Bai Guiren will run all possible means to force her unto giving him her shares, she secretly gave it out. As she was the highest shareholder, holding fifty percent of the company's shares, it was only obvious he would do so.
But she gave it up as she knew she would be getting in back as far as it is in the right hands-down in the hands of Mr Sun.
Bai Renxiang's eyes closed for a few seconds. She did so to mask the pain she felt for her mother who had sacrificed with much for her. To hide her anger and thirst for revenge.
"So now, first and foremost, I want to help you by giving you back this shares," he said before sliding the paper to her.
Bai Renxiang opened the envelope and took out the papers in it. She read through the it and indeed, the contents were about the shares.
"There is not much time left in your hands. Mr Bai's other daughter, Bai Ming is currently bribing over other members of the board to support her in taking over the position as the new CEO. Things would be harder is it goes according to her plan," Mr Sun told her.
"How many of the board members have been bribed by her?" Bai Renxiang asked as she signed those papers
"Fortunately and unfortunately, she has managed to get fifteen. The remaining ten are unyielding as I am. But I a not sure how much more their resistance would last in the presence of a good amount of cash."
Bai Renxiang nodded. After signing the last paper, she out them back into the big brown envelope and set her eyes back in Mr Sun.
"I will have to take advantage of your loyalty Mr Sun. Gather the trusted ones and set up a covenient time for a meeting."
