Offer To The CEO

Tuesday, continued …

"Yi, what in the world have you done." Came the angry reply from Ji Feng.

"Uncle Feng, you know that I am not stupid, and Anna would not do anything illegal. Along with Tan and Amanda, and some of our friends we have been involved in the police investigation that has been ongoing for a number of weeks regarding the potential crimes Lu Jingho has committed."

"We have signed agreements with the police, the stock exchange and other regulatory authorities that authorized our actions, and will protect us, Hou Corporation, XF International and the Seven Shades Group, plus other private companies we are involved with."

"And you did not think about telling me, or your father?"

"Uncle Feng, it was need to know. I do not even think yet that Lu Jingho has clicked about some of the actions. But it was necessary. I started my actions, simply to deal with the money that had been used to help support what happened to Anna and to prevent it from being used to target her in the future. It morphed a few weeks ago when we announced the joint venture with XF International."

"You damn well better tell me. We need to protect the company from any issues."

"Fine." With that Hou Yi sat down and gave Ji Feng a rundown on what had been happening.

As he finished, the phone on Hou YI's desk rang, and they were interrupted by Assistant Wang with the teleconference scheduled with the heads of the European and Americas divisions. Before they started Ji Feng, reminded Hou Yi that they had not finished their conversation.

An Hour later, after various matters had been addressed Hou YI ended the teleconference and turned to Ji Feng. "Uncle Feng, I still have a number of things to finish before I go, but we will have this conversation when I get back."

"You better believe it, and congratulations on the baby. Remember the promise you and Anna made me; I am going to be a godfather to your little one. I will be spoiling it rotten before I hand it back to you to deal with the tantrums. I had seen your flight schedule and wondered what was happening, but Anna's pregnancy explains that."

"Promise me Yi, you will let me know that you have arrived in Australia in case I have issues that only you can deal with. Enjoy the weekend, and I want plenty of photos and I know Anna has arranged for it to be filmed so I want to see that."

Rather than shaking Hou Yi's hand Ji Feng, walked and gave him a hug, before Ji Feng handed him an envelope and saying "That is not to be opened before Saturday. Give my love to your wife and I will see you when you are back."

Ji Feng quickly left the office, and Hou Yi realized that he only had an hour to get through as much as he could before needing to leave and head to the airport to meet everyone. However, before he could start back into the work, there was a knock on his door, and he was interrupted by Assistant Wang. After a brief discussion, he decided the work that had not been finished, should be packed and taken with him, and rather than meeting Anna at the Airport, he would collect her from the apartment and meet everyone at the airport.

Thirty minutes after leaving Hou Enterprises knowing that Assistant Wang would follow his directives Hou Yi entered their apartment. Butler Ge informed him that Anna was relaxing in the lounge, so he headed in to quickly greeted her with a kiss, before heading into their suite to shower and change for their flight. Before leaving the suite, he opened the safe to take out the gifts he had hidden therefore Anna when the opportunity presented itself. He made sure as he left that the safe and the room were secured.

Spotting Butler Ge, he confirmed the arrangements for the staff to have until Monday off, and for the apartment to be made ready for their return on Tuesday.

Hou Yi headed towards the lounge and noticed that Anna was oblivious to his return from their suite. She was engrossed in something on the tablet in her hand. As he moved towards her Anna finally noticed movement in the corner of her eye and lowered the tablet down before realizing that it was her beloved husband. Immediately she dropped the tablet on the couch she was laying on and moved quickly over and threw herself into his arms.
