Chapter 5: Jin Liwei
Jin Corporation.
Everyone wiped cold sweat from their foreheads and drank mouthfuls of water. The ones who did presentations during the meeting looked like they went through the eighteen levels of hell and survived...barely.
They glanced at King Yama1...er, their boss Jin Liwei who was the President and CEO of Jin Corporation, the number one company in the country.
As usual, he looked glacial, formidable, and absolutely gorgeous. He was tall, rich, and handsome.
If their boss wasn’t so frightening, the females (and bent employees) in the company would throw themselves at him on a regular basis. They would die happily for just a single glance from him.
Unfortunately, legends abounded about past employees stupid enough to flirt and attempt to seduce the big boss. It was said that these foolish mortals were immediately fired and blacklisted from working in the business industry. Some were said to have committed suicide because of despair, while some disappeared, never to be seen or heard from ever again.

"Dismissed," Jin Liwei ordered before standing up and leaving the conference room.
Xu Tian, his trusted assistant, opened the door for him and then followed after him to his office at the topmost floor of the building.
Everyone inside stood up and remained bowing until the sound of their boss’ footsteps gradually vanished. When they were certain that their boss was gone, they released the breaths they were holding. They heaved sighs of great relief that the meeting finally ended.
Inside the President-CEO’s office.
Jin Liwei leaned back on his opulent leather seat behind his massive dalbergia wood desk. He listened to Xu Tian’s report with a cold expression, his hands steepled over his chest.
The interiors of the office was very masculine, combining elements of traditional and modern aesthetics. The whole office screamed of power and wealth.
"President, I have been notified by the hospital that Miss Long has finally awakened from coma," Xu Tian read from the paper report in his hand. "Her exam results show no serious complications aside from muscle atrophy from being bedridden for a year, which can be cured by regular physiotherapy and rehabilitation. No reported memory loss or brain damage. She is recovering at a faster rate than expected, and if nothing unfortunate happens, her doctors believe that she’ll achieve complete physical recovery in about six months. As for any emotional trauma from the accident, the doctors recommended psychological therapy but Miss Long reportedly declined."
"Who are the people she’s been in contact with after waking up?"
"Her mother, Madam Wei Lan, was the first. The madam came on the second day Miss Long woke up. In the next few days, her manager and assistants also visited but she apparently fired all of them on the spot."
Jin Liwei raised an eyebrow, but otherwise didn’t comment. He asked instead, "Did Long Tengfei visit his daughter yet?"
"As of now, CEO Long has not personally visited nor seen Miss Long after she has woken up. But he did send his assistant to check up on her."
A faint sneer appeared on Jin Liwei’s cold expression.
"We also found out that CEO Long ordered a lockdown on news about Miss Long waking up from coma. The manager and assistants fired by her were also given hush money to keep the information to themselves, all arranged by President Long’s people without Miss Long’s knowledge."

"At this moment, we have not received any indication regarding that. And even if he does, we already erased all evidence and trails a year ago as per your orders. He won’t find anything different from the police investigation results."
"Good. Continue to monitor her."
"Understood."
Jin Liwei paused, thinking, before asking, "Does my brother know?"
"I don’t think so. President Long locked down news about his daughter, so unless Miss Long personally calls and informs Second Master that she has woken up, I don’t think he’ll know."
Jin Liwei nodded, relieved. "I want her far away from Chonglin and Fan Luo. My brother and his fiancée are marrying in the near future and our families can’t afford any scandals at the moment."
"Understood. Is there anything else, President?"
"No. You may go."
Xu Tian bowed before leaving and heading to his own desk outside the door.
