Offer To The CEO

Friday, continued …

Meanwhile

As the women left, Hou Yi quickly hurried into bathroom to get ready to head out with his brothers-in-law for the morning in a pair of clothes that would not matter if they got dirty. They had something planned for a couple of hours before they returned here to get ready to head out for the photo shoot. 

Ten minutes later as he was pulling on his jumper there was a knock on the room door. As he answered Adam, Ben and Wayne forced their way in while James was dragging his shell-shocked father-in-law with him.

"Come on, we have things to do, and little time. Let us see how you go with this."

Hou Yi looked at Yao Tan and in their native tongue asked "Do you have an idea what is going on?"

James grasping the language given at home Alecia and the assigned bodyguards only spoke their native language, said "Do not even think about telling him," he paused for a few seconds for dramatic effect before continuing "Dad."

Hou Yi realizing that if he did not hurry up his brothers-in-law would make life difficult finished dressing before grabbed his phone, and wallet. As he headed to the door, he observed his bodyguards watching James place a blindfold on Yao Tan. Ben and Adam approached him to do the same. Less tht five minutes later, Hou Yi was helped into a four-wheel drive and he heard the diesel engine start.

He heard Yao Tan voice which told him he was also in the vehicle, and then James saying, "No telling him anything Dad."

Hou Yi was surprised how much James had grasped their language. Alecia, most likely with the help of the bodyguards Tan had assigned to keep her sage, were behind that. He was also guessing that the urgent teleconference he had last night likely put pay to his brother-in-law's plans last night, so they were planning something that was fun this morning.

The worst thing was that Yao Tan had some idea about what was going to happen but was being pressured to keep the secret. He would make sure his friend paid for that later.

Rather than sitting there stressed and thinking about things, he started talking to Yao Tan about the business rumours that had some to him last night at the end of his teleconference meeting about Lu Corporation. In just a few days, there had been clear efforts to make sure Lu Jingho regardless of the outcome of the court cases would never have anything to do with the management of Lu Corporation.

During their discussions, Yao Tan indicated that CEO Yang had contacted him Wednesday morning, asking him for recommendations about the independent panel to appoint the new CEO of Lu Corporation. Yao Tan indicated that he had simply told CEO Yang some options given the people that were on the panel that confirmed his appointment as CEO of XF International.

Around twenty minutes later, Hou Yi felt the vehicle slowing down, and then stopping. He heard vehicle doors open, and then the door beside him, before he was helped out of the vehicle. As he came out of the vehicle there was a smell that hit him, that made him feel somewhat sick in the stomach, and was carefully helped to walk a short distance.

When he stopped, he heard a voice, which he believed was Adam "Well Brother, you got out of our plans last night, but if Anna knew what we had intended to do she most likely would have killed us. But we have something that we could not resist. You can take off your blindfold, along with you James new Dad."

Hesitantly Hou Yi reached up and undid the blindfold. In front of him there was a cow, a stool and a bucket. He looked around and saw Yao Tan, again wondering about what was to happen. This time, he knew it was Adam speaking "We thought we would have a little fun, let us see if you can figure out how to milk a cow but hand."

Hou Yi simply stood there looking dumbfounded. What in the world was he to do? He took a step backwards, and as he did so, he saw the cow starting to relieve itself in front of him. He wanted to flee right out of there, but looking around he could see that Adam, Ben, Wayne and James were all trying not to laugh out loud not only at his reaction but Yao Tan's reaction. Hou Yi at that moment also noticed that Junior and Ton, were filming their father. Hou Yi thought, this could be a complete disaster.
