Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

Chapter 81 - Deal No Longer Exist

Chapter 81 - Deal No Longer Exist

CHAPTER 81

"First, I would like to say that, beginning from today, all business deals would have to go through me before processing including this particular business deal."

All the members began discussing as soon as he finished his statement. They can not believe his new order and were displeased concerning it, since they have already gone far in ongoing businesses.

"But Ye Cheng, we have already gone through all the necessary procedures before for this business deal. There is no need for you to stress yourself after coming from such a hectic journey. Also, we should not waste our business partner’s time to not cause further displeasure. Not to forget this behaviour will ruin our image in market."

’Set the trap and the prey would fall into it.’ Ye Cheng thought inwardly.

"Is there a problem?" Ye Cheng asked.

"No, but..."

"This is business, Hao Huizhong." Ye Cheng countered him. "Proper checks should be done to avoid errors, don’t you think?"

"Yes. It is just that we have already concluded this one."

"You don’t need to worry for that. I will handle this. I would like to start with this one. There is nothing for you to be worried about as you have assured me of proper checks before you got to this stage. We would be quick about it and review the financial benefits to both sides."

Hao Huizhong could no longer argue with Ye Cheng to avoid suspicion. He more than anyone knows how well Ye Cheng is in reading minds. He want to avoid as much as becoming one of target of his deviously high EQ .

Quietly, he leaned back on his chair and allowed Ye Cheng do what he wanted.

Even though the air conditioner was put on, some of the men there were currently sweating profusely. Ye Cheng had not even begun his check and they were already fidgeting.

From the corners of his eyes he could see their discomfort as it was clearly written over them. Unlike them, Hao Huizhong was more composed. Although, if one looked closely, he or she would see the cold sweat that broke out on his neck and the side of his face.

’Why is he acting so suspicious like that? He is supposed to be the second in command after Ye Cheng, yet he could not properly check things? It is as though he knows there is a loophole.’ Li Jing thought as she carefully accessed Hao Huizhong as well.

While Li Jing was also battling with her thoughts, Han Qing Qing walked into the conference room with two separate copies of the business plan and documents then handed one to Li Jing and the other to Ye Cheng.

Looking at the files placed in front of her, Li Jing picked them up to have a better view of them.

’Wait a minute. This looks familiar.’ Li Jing thought.

Her eyes narrowed in on the documents in her hands and her brain began to work.

Ding!

Like the sound of bell, something clicked in Li Jing’s memory.

’That’s it. No wonder it looks so familiar. It is the same business deal that was broadcasted on television. So this was why Ye Cheng brought me straight here, to the meeting room on my first day of work.’

While Li Jing was buy accessing the documents in her hands, Ye Cheng was watching everyone and after some time, his gaze finally found their way to Li Jing and carefully watched as she checked the business documents.

He saw her crease her brow and a small frown marred her beautiful face. He could tell something was not right and that she had found something.

A small smile broke out on his lips but as quickly as he came, he masked it and returned his gaze to the document in his hand.

He too had to prove to them that he was really crosschecking the documents. Unknown to them, he had done a thorough check of the business deal the previous night for the third time already.

So without checking again, he could easily pinpoint the loopholes and errors but he still did this just so he could give Li Jing a chance to fish it out herself and in hopes that she could fish something else out.

Secondly it was a way for him to further test her IQ and to show to the others that she just wasn’t any new financial manager who doesn’t know what she is doing but that she was deserving of that position.

What Ye Cheng had forgotten was that in doing so, he just gave Li Jing more enemies than she already had. New and dangerous ones as everyone’s eyes would be on her.

The envy just would never end at this point in time.

After about ten minutes of thoroughly checking the documents, Ye Cheng raised his head and cleared his throat to garner all of their attentions.

It was as though today was the judgment day and they were all seated before the judgment throne. Virtually almost everyone was tensed. No one wanted to be the one who was faulted.

"After carefully going through these documents, I found some things that I would need proper clarification about."

"Okay, I woud be more than happy to clarify those things," one of the men present spoke.

It was Mr Chin Ho, one of their business partner. He sat straight up and moved out on his seat, ready to answer any question Ye Cheng may have concerning the business deal/

Unfortunately, Ye Cheng was not after what plausible lies they wanted to offer as he knew they were all in this together. Rather, he shocked them all by his next sentence.

"Li Jing, please can you brief us on your findings?"

Li Jing looked up from the documents and nodded once at him before she let her eyes look at the others.

"Yes, Thank you. From what I could see, there are some problems with the business deal. Indeed there are loopholes."

"Can you buttress on what you mean by loopholes and problems? Mind you, this documents was duly checked by both companies. So please, show us what you mean by that," Mr Chin Ho quickly cut in.

"Fine. I was going to do that anyway. Since we all have a copy of these documents, I would love for us all to turn to the fifth page."

Everyone immediately picked their documents, all except Hao Huizhong who was watching the whole scene unfold.

’Ye Cheng, just what do you think you are doing or trying to prove?’ Hao Huizhong thought.

By the time Li Jing was done pinpointing all the problems with the deal Mr Choi could barely seat down comfortably on his seat again.

At first, he thought Li Jing was bluffing and Ye Cheng was only trying to instil fear in them to make them voice out their wrongs.

Little did he know that the young CEO came prepared.

"Mr Choi Ho," Ye Cheng called his name, causing Mr Choi Ho to jolt up a bit in his seat at the mention of his name.

Watching his scared behaviour, Ye Cheng could not be more than happy at the turn of events. Thanks to his wonderful assistant, he found out about their meeting to quickly sign the business deal today.

That was why he needed Li Jing to convey her final answer to him before today as he needed her for his plans.

This was just the first step in unveiling the many wrongs going on in his company and he was going to fish them all out, one by one.

After the meeting, he had planned to do a general meeting the next day or within that week to properly introduced Li Jing as the new financial manager and while they are at it, he would dismiss all those who have been involved in dubious deeds in the company.

"I think with all these things exposed, it is safe for me to say this as the CEO of this company. The business deal no longer exists beginning from this minute."

Bang!

It felt like a heavyweight was dropped on their shoulders at the calling off of the deal. The Jiang group representatives’ face all turned sullen and dull.

"I do not want any dealings with your company in the future, since you have proven to be nothing but trouble and untrustworthy individuals."

"What?!" All the words seemed like a heavy bomb on his ears. "No."

Ye Cheng arched his brow at Mr Choi Ho. His expression was as clear as day, showing only disgust for them. "Wasn’t I clear enough?"

"You were, but then again..."

"Thank goodness you heard me well. Then it should ring clearly in your ears that I do not want anything to do with your company."

"Ye Cheng!"

"You have a problem? You should be thankful that I am not having you arrested or worse for what you were trying to do in my absence. Consider this a warning and my mercy."

Mr Choi Ho was speechless beyond measure. This wasn’t supposed to have happened. He had been assured of the success of this business deal and now, he lost everything.

"Hao Huizhong, please, help us."
