From the info provided by the production team to Min Yu, the woman was having dance lessons, and most of her days were spent in the training room.
How busy she was, indeed!
He sighed inwardly as a wry laughter escaped his mouth. His mood plummeted a little.
He indignantly felt the need to neglect that woman who had no sense of priority so that she could have a taste of how it felt to be neglected!
The meet-the-parentsâ session was set to start at 2 PM.
Calculating the time he had before then, he arranged all his works for the day to be settled before noon.
For meetings, those that could be brought forward would be pushed to an earlier slot, whereas those that could not would be moved to the following day.
With his sonâs words in mind, he summoned his assistant to find him a car which was less flashy.
His subordinate furrowed his brows in bafflement. âBoss, I donât get what you mean. What do you intend to do?â
He shot him a look. âIâm asking you to get me something lowkey.â
â...Lowkey?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSomething like the Volkswagen Phaeton.â
Volkswagen Phaeton...
Such an understated car?!
The assistant probed him. âBoss, why are you changing car?â
He answered, âI want to keep a low profile.â
Min Yuâs jaw went slack in astonishment at his reply, though he went ahead and acted according to his bossâ order without further ado.
At the end of a morning meeting, the man returned to his office and realized that he had received two missed calls. He picked up the phone from his desk, swiped the screen, and realized that both calls belonged to the same unfamiliar number.
He returned the call as he sat before his desk.
A gentle and polite voice belonging to a woman came through when the call connected. âMay I ask if you are Youyouâs father?â
He tensed for a bit and questioned back at once, âAnd you are?â
The woman politely replied, âMy surname is Yuan, and Iâm the boyâs form teacher. Iâm sorry to disturb you, but may I ask if itâs convenient for you to make a trip to the school now?â
He took a gander at his watch with a frown.
It was only past 10 AM at the moment.
He could not help but be skeptical. âIsnât the meet-the-parentsâ session scheduled at 2 PM?â
âThis has nothing to do with the session! Erm... Is it convenient for you to come over now? Something happened to your son, so I need you to come over to settle it!â
The teacher was being very polite.
She could feel the manâs oppressive aura through the phone so she did not dare speak out, lest she incur the manâs anger.
He looked at the time again. Since his sonâs teacher called regarding an urgent matter for him to settle, he naturally could not put it aside.
Even though he still had an upcoming video conference right after this, it had to be postponed!
He answered in the affirmative. âAlright. Iâll make my way there now.â
âThatâs great! Iâll be waiting for you at the teacherâs lounge, then.â
He ended the call, then stood up to pick up his coat from the clothes stand, and put it on. He bumped right into his assistant when he opened the door. The latter was holding several documents and proposals, which had been sorted out for the meeting that would be starting in a while.
He was surprised to see his superior all dressed up. âBoss, arenât you feeling hot in such thick clothes? The heater has been switched on in the conference room.â
The man swiftly said, âIâm leaving. Postpone the meeting; weâll proceed with it once I get back!â
âThis... The directors are already waiting for you in the conference room! Do you have an emergency?â
