Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

*************

CHAPTER 475

Unknown to Ye Cheng, his father was planning something different since he heard that his wife was around.

To him, he wouldn't know just yet since she came unannounced.

Back at his office, he was in a meeting with Yi Wang Lei when a call came through from his assistant.

"Yes?"

"Sir, sorry to disturb but your father is here to see you."

He kept quiet for a while, trying to decipher what that man was up to now. After some seconds of thinking, he could not figure it out.

"Sir? Should I send him in or ask him to leave?"

Hearing what she was asking Ye Cheng, Ye Sheng felt like knocking her head for being rude to him but when he recalled it was his son's assistant and his son's last threat, he behaved himself. 

"No, do not worry yourself. Just send him in."

"Okay, sir."

She dropped the telephone and looked at Ye Sheng. Unlike when she attended to normal customers that she smiled, this time around, she did not bother and just informed him of what she was asked to. 

"You may go in, sir."

"Hmph!"

'What a father.' Han Qing Qing thought.

The second he entered the office, his eyes first went to Yi Wang Lei the odd person out. "Leave us," he ordered.

"No, stay, Jack."

"You refute my order?" Ye Sheng asked, his brows kneading together.

"I do. You do not just walk into my office and demand that my vice leaves."

"And who is still the chairman of this company?"

"You may be but who is bringing in more money and who is spending it more?" With the way and manner he confronted his father, Ye Sheng could not argue more. 

Yes, it was Ye Cheng that did most of the work while he lavished whatever he had on the ladies he was having a fling with.

"Hmmph. It is important stuff I am here to talk about. So he needs to leave."

"What stuff is that? State it or Wang Lei goes nowhere."

Letting out a sigh, Ye Sheng had no choice but to heed his son's words. Fine. It is about your mother." He watched the shock flash before Ye Cheng's eyes and knew that he was not expecting him to.

Taking in a deep breath, he closed his eyes briefly and when he reopened them, Ye Sheng was shocked how quickly his expression changed into a neutral bored one.

"Fine, go ahead, he can stay."

"What?" 

That was the least response he expected from his son. He had thought that once he mentioned his mother, he would be on edge and send Yi Wang Lei away but lo and behold, he did quite the opposite.

Unfortunately for him, Ye Cheng had predicted his move the moment he said it and knew that if he allowed Yi Wang Lei to stay, he may lose his composure and would not want to shamelessly bring himself out like that.

"Yes, father. You heard me well. He might as well stay. Wang Lei is like family to me. So he has no problem being here except you do not…"

"No, I do not accept. He is no family of mine," Ye Sheng blurted out without courtesy.

"Hmm…" a small mischievous smile appeared on Ye Cheng's lips at that moment. "Funny enough, I wasn't going to say that."

"You what? Come, Ye Cheng, do not play with me."

"Says who I was? You are the one barging into my office to come deal personal stuff with me rather than office work, bad work ethic. What are you teaching your staff? Anyways, what I wanted to say was, if you feel inconvenienced enough not to want to tell me, then be my guest and leave. You can make a separate appointment with me another time."

0_0

Ye Sheng had his jaw dropped. Was he just given the cold shoulder by his own son?

"Father, you are actually wasting time. State what you want or please excuse us. We have work to do, unlike some people."

"Fine. I too have work to do. I would just see you another time."

He cast a malicious glance at Yi Wang Lei then turned on his heels and exited the office without uttering a word to them again.

"Sigh! Good riddance. I thought he would be shameless enough not to leave and actually display his womanizing to you." Ye Cheng sighed again. "Not that he cares about his image though but still. Sometimes, I am so ashamed to be related to him.

"Well, it isn't like everyone doesn't know about it. It is just that he does not care how people view him because of his position," Yi Wang Lei explained.

"Yeah, my point exactly. I get you. Well, there is nothing more I can do. It is not like I can choose my birth parent." 

They both relaxed into their seat for a little while. To Yi Wang Lei, he knew Ye Cheng had a lot on his mind and on his plate, so he did not bother his friend.

The next thing he knew, Ye Cheng picked up the telephone again and dialled a number.

"Hey, who are you calling now? I thought you were the one who said we were busy?"

A smirk appeared on his lips before he answered. "Relax worrywart. I am calling my secretary to ensure that he doesn't show his face here for the time being. I trust her, she would book him for a month or months later."

"Hahaaa… That is hilarious," Yi Wang Lei said in between laughs.

"What's so funny?" Ye Cheng asked, looking confused.

"No, it is just how your father's face would turn out to be when she tells him that. He would be furious beyond words, I bet you."

"Well, I live to please."

"I couldn't agree more. You definitely are one of a kind CEO."

***

Just as they had thought, Before Ye Cheng could call her, Ye Sheng had already booked to see him the next day.

"I am sorry sir, but Mr Ye Cheng is fully booked tomorrow."

"What about the next?"

"Same."

"Okay, the next week?"

"I am sorry sir, he is full."

"Excuse me? Why does it feel like you are playing a trick here/"

"I am not sir. You can check yourself."

"Fine, when is he free?"

"Give me a minute let me see." She managed to feign a smile at him and went checking. "Umm, the CEO wouldn't be free until three months from now during the national public holiday."

"What?!"

"Yes, sir. You asked when he was free and I just searched this schedule. Unfortunately, Mr Ye Cheng is fully booked. But if you keep a reservation now, you would be the first person he sees, three months later."

"So, I would have to wait three good months to see my son?"

"Exactly, sir."

"Exactly my foot. I won't take that."

"Then, by all means, he is your son. Discuss it with him."

"Most definitely. I am going back in there to give him a piece of my mind."

"Umm, wait, sir, before you do, I need to warn you that you cannot barge in on him. He has given strict warnings not to allow anyone barge in on him like that again."

"Then call him? I do not know what good you are for. Call him now."

"Okay, but do not say I did not warn you. No good would come out of this. Just wait as I have earlier said and you would get your turn."

"Are you still wasting time?"

At that moment when her hands got close to the telephone, Ye Cheng's call came in. "Ah, sir. I was about to call you."

"Good. Has he left? I know he would be giving you quite the headache. I am sorry but please do not allow him to barge in on me again or you go in for it."

"Yes sir."

"Also, book him for months later if he wants to see me."

"Already did and informed him that you are free after three months."

"Great. You get a bonus tip for this."

"Thank you, sir. Enjoy, I would do the needful."

"What are you smiling at?" Ye Sheng asked after some time.

"Bye, sir." She dropped the telephone and ended the call then directed her attention at him.

"I am sorry sir, but Mr Ye Cheng is in a very important meeting. Please, sir…"

"Do not please me."

"If you force your way in, I assume you know that would be frowned upon and he can ask security to kick you out? Since he is your son, you can always find him after work hours I presume."

"And who are you to advise me?"

"I am sorry sir. Like you said, advice. I believe it is free and can be given at any point in time."

Left with no other choice, he eyed her before turning around and storming away angrily.

"Sigh! I never thought he would leave.. Thank goodness, now I have a nice tip from my boss."
