399 The Walls are breached - Part 2

Monday, continued …

When they arrived at Hou Enterprises, Hou Yi escorted Anna to her office, before taking his leave and heading to his office to prepare for the press conference at 10am.On entering Assistant Wang handed to him the final draft of the press release with all the various documents that would be handed out to those present at the press conference.Hou Yi commenced reading it.

Despite his discussions with Yao Tan, Hou Yi's eyes still widened at the list of talent signed to the joint venture.Five were A list talents the snatched from under the nose of Lu Corporation.Three were start who, given their connections to the Yang family, he never thought they could sign.It seemed like they could see what was coming and preferenced their careers over any sense of family loyalty.

He picked up the telephone and called, Yao Tan who quickly picked up "Tan, I cannot believe who you had sign."

"I am guessing that you saw those connected to the Yang Family.Do you know they were the easiest to convince to sign.They did not want to be associated with what Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin have done.They were just looking for an opportunity to get out."

"Really…"

"Yeah.One signing that only happened yesterday was a 17-year-old girl.Just starting out in the industry, but her talent is amazing.However, you would not believe it …"

"Some connection to what happened to Alecia?"

"Possibly.I need your wife and mine to come and talk with us to her, as we need to convince her to go to the police.I know kids this age, and she is not telling me the truth about what really happened to her.She hinted at being abused within Lu Corporation's entertainment division, but not by whom."

"Yi, you know as well as I do, there have always been rumours about abuse of talent within Lu Corporation's Entertainment division.They have focused on young actresses and female singers to advance their careers becoming mistresses to senior figures within the division, the company or friends of CEO Lu.I suspect there is something significant to the story, but I am guessing that she will not say anything with me present.I suspect our wives and their skills will have her open up."

"That mean Alecia might have some things wrong.Lu Jinhu's involvement was solely in facilitating her attack and his father and someone else was otherwise responsible.The mind boggles at what he could have done."

"Let us not jump to conclusions."

"Ok, I get the message.See you soon.Plus if it is possible I will have Anna and Amanda come with me to the press conference, otherwise I will arrange for them to be there by 11am, which should be when the press conference is ending."

"See you then."

Checking the time, Hou Yi realised he needed to head over to XF International.He knew soon the world would hear the sounds of the walls crashing around Lu Corporation.He would love to see the reaction of CEO Lu, but he would have to work damn hard to save his company given what they were doing.

On his way down he stopped at the legal department to see Anna and Amanda.As he got out of the lift, staff attempted to surround him, demanding his attention.He paused "Ladies and Gentleman, you need to get out of my way.I am here to see my wife, so move.If you have matters you want to bring to my attention, you know the process for doing this."

With that the bodyguards moved and created a path for Hou Yi to walk towards Anna and Amanda's offices.Before entering Anna's office, he knocked on Amanda's door and quietly indicated that he needed to speak to her with Anna.With that the two of them entered Anna's office.Anna did not realise that they had entered until Hou Yi said "Anna …"

With a start she looked up and said sharply "What!"she then realised it was her husband."Sorry Yi, I have had so many interruptions today already."

"Apologies.I was just speaking to Tan, and we have a situation that we need your help with regarding the new joint venture. Are you free now, or if not can you be over at XF International by around 11am?"

Anna and Amanda looked at each other, wondering what was happening, but nodded their heads, before Anna said "We will be there before 11am, I have a couple of things to finish."

Before leaving Hou Yi walked over and gave Anna a brief kiss and turned exiting her office before heading downstairs and over to XF International.
