Chapter 804: The Silent Battle Has Began
“Who has a meeting at 7 in the morning?” Akira exclaimed as Jay parked their van.
Jay yawned and leaned against his seat. “You guys go to music shows at dawn. You can’t complain about morning meetings.”
“But we perform there,” Akira said. “Performing and having a meeting are two different things.”
Jaeyong chuckled. “I think we’re just used to our meetings with Mr. Ong being in the afternoon.”
“That’s because he always plays golf in the mornings,” Ren remarked.
“Bet he can’t play golf in prison now,” Akira said.
The other boys looked at him with reprimanding expressions.
“What?” he exclaimed. “Joking about bad people isn’t accepted anymore?”
Jaeyong shook his head. “Anyway, we should be thankful that we have a new CEO who would actually call for an early meeting like this. Lei is looking out for us.”
Akira sighed. “I guess,” he said.
“Yeah!” Jisung chimed. “Now that we have a new CEO, I’m curious what opportunities we’ll have waiting for us.”
“Well, we still have 15 minutes before 7,” Jay said. “Why don’t you guys head up and wait for me there?”
“Okay,” the other members said.
“Except June,” Jay added, making the others suspicious. Nonetheless, they let it go.
However, Casper continued looking at them with narrowed eyes as he went out of the van, making Jay shake his head in amusement.
“I swear-Casper might actually think that you’re his cat.”
June sighed. “Let him be.”
“Why did you want to talk to me?” June asked.
Jay turned around to face June but was surprised when he saw his glowing face.
“Hot diggity damn!” he explained. “Why’d you look so good in the morning?”
June clicked his tongue. “Get to your point.”
Jay subtly shook his head. “I swear, you woke up even earlier than me,” he whispered. “Anyway,” Jay continued. “We didn’t get to finish our conversation a while ago.”
“Ah, about the next course of our plans?” June asked.
“Yes,” Jay said. “It went exactly as you planned. Lei actually bought some shares and became the CEO of Azure. He also offered to make me the director of management.”
“Did you take it?” June asked.
“Duh!” Jay said. “You told me to accept it. However, I also told him that I want to continue being your manager.”
“Hmm,” June hummed. “That’s good. I don’t want a new manager, and you’ll have more authority as the director.”
“My wallet’s going to be thicker, too,” he chuckled while rubbing his palms together. “But just thinking about the workload already gives me the creeps,” he shivered.
“So, now that the phase is done, what are we going to do?”
June’s face appeared serious, so Jay anticipated his answer. After his genius prediction, Jay had more reasons to follow June.
However, his seriousness quickly vanished when he shrugged.
“I haven’t thought that far,” he said with a smile.
Jay felt like he was hit by a car.
“What?” he exclaimed. “What do you mean?”
“It means that I don’t have a plan just yet,” June said.
Jay chuckled absent-mindedly. “So, you’re telling me that we just gave away very powerful information to an evil person without any backup plans?”
“That wasn’t the objective,” June said. “The objective was to get Mr. Ong out of the picture. We successfully achieved that. I don’t think he’ll be back anytime soon or ever.”
Jay massaged his temples.
“But, we’re letting Lei lead the company without a plan?” he asked.
June sighed. “We have some time,” he said. “I told you-Lei wouldn’t do anything blatant
from the get-go. He’s still trying to capture everyone’s trust, including ours.”
“So, he’ll retaliate when we least expect it,” he continued.
“By that time comes, we should have the plan,” June said. “But I need a certain person before that could happen.”
Jay frowned. “Who?” he asked.
June pursed his lips. “Are you, perhaps, familiar with the head of Phoenix?”
“Who? Kim Young Do?” Jay asked.
June sighed. “As expected, even a gossiper like you doesn’t have an idea.”
Jay froze, and he narrowed his eyes at June. “Wait, you actually know about the existence of
the head of Phoenix?”
“So, you’re aware?” June asked.
“Of course I am,” Jay exclaimed. “Insiders that work in these companies all know!”
“Then, do you know him?”
Jay shook his head. “Nope. That’s something out of my reach. I’m just surprised that you also
know about him. You really do know more than what I’ve expected.”
June sighed. “He’s the one I need to be able to get this plan moving.”
Jay’s shoulders slumped. “Well, good luck,” he said. “Nobody knows. It’s something that a lot
of people have given up on.”
June smiled and crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Well, there has to be a first for
everything, right?”
Just then, Jay’s alarm rang inside the van, making him curse.
“Crap. It’s 7 AM. Let’s quickly head up.”
June nodded, so the two of them went to the highest floor, where the CEO’s office resided.
The other boys were already seated on the couch when they got there. There were also some bread and refreshments on the table, catching them by surprise.
“Sorry, sir,” Jay said. “I had to talk to June about something.”
Lei kindly smiled. “I told you to call me Lei, Jay. Nobody is a boss around here. And it’s alright.
We haven’t started yet.”
Jay chuckled and nodded. “Right, sorry. It was just a habit.”
“Come on, sit down,” he said, gesturing to the couch. “Have some food, too. You guys must
not have had breakfast yet because it’s too early. However, I had to call this meeting since I’m busy all throughout the day.”
“It’s alright!” Akira exclaimed with his mouth full, acting like he wasn’t the one who complained the most in the van. “We’re happy to be here.”
Lei chuckled in amusement. Then, he turned to June, who appeared nonchalant.
“Good morning,” he said with a warm smile.
June merely bowed, causing him to chuckle once more.
“June isn’t the friendly type, huh?” he joked, making the others snicker.
“He’s not,” Akira said. “But he’s kind. He’ll joke around with you when he’s comfortable.”
Casper nodded in agreement. “He’s like a cat!”
June clicked his tongue and glared at his teammates.
“A cat, huh?” Lei fondly muttered. “Quite cute.”
June subtly shook his head. “Why did you call for us here?” he asked.
“Ah, right,” Lei said. “You must be curious why I called you this early.”
“Well, I didn’t want to relay it to you at the last minute, so I’m telling you now so you have
more time to prepare.”
The boys looked at him with curiosity.
Then, Lei smiled.
“I have bagged you guys a schedule in China!”
