The CEO's Woman

Chapter 34 Priorities

Days passed by like a blur. It had been a week since all the rumors started.

Jiang Yue’s silence did not seem to affect all the students. As they continue to give her disgusted stares and condescending smirks.

However, Jiang Yue is acting like all of this has nothing to do with her. She is more concern about meeting her first employee Bai’Li.

If a genius like him will be her subordinate, then her chances of being able to finish all her plans will increase exponentially.

Jiang Yue’s indifference,made a lot of people assume all things. Still, she doesn’t care. She is just looking at them like they were clowns. These rumors will not sway her.

She had her own priorities.

Jiang Yue can’t help but pity these people. She even wondered how they will survive in this cruel world with their stupid brain ah.

Jiang Yue was just enjoying herself as she watched the dark clouds of rumor spread into the whole city.

Lately, all of the elite family in Xin City is already aware that Lu Shi had gone jewelry shopping with Fu Jin. A lot of people saw them together. Some even took photos and dared to share it online.

When Yu Chen saw Fu Jin and Lu Shi together, he was dumbstruck. He recognized Fu Jin as the guy named Jin who ruin his dinner with Jiang Yue. He immediately called Jiang Mian to share this important information.

Upon hearing that Fu Jin and Jiang Yue is already acquainted with each other, Jiang Mian panicked. She immediately went home and informed her mother about Yu Chen’s discovery.

A flash of annoyance can be seen in both Lu Shi and Jiang Chanming’s faces when they heard Jiang Mian. This Jiang Yue is really troublesome.

After the car accident, both Lu Shi and Jiang Chanming decided to lay low. This is to avoid the suspension from the Wang Family. They thought that they can finally stop acting cordial to Jiang Yue because of Fu Jin. However, Jiang Yue, this bad egg, is really something. She is now even acquainted with the person that could possibly elevate their status.

"How is the Fu Family? Have you heard something from them?"Jiang Chanming asked Lu Shi while kneading his temples.

"No, I haven’t but I already asked the media to go to Fu Jin’s Place to try and get an interview. Maybe they could get a reaction from him. Aiya... Chanming stopped worrying. Since Fu Jin didn’t do anything to stop these rumors then he must have taken a liking to our daughter. After all, she has all the talents and looks. Who could compare to her? " Lu Shi explained.

The Fu Family could easily suppress this rumors, yet they did not do anything.

What could be the reason other than Fu Jin admiring Jiang Mian? Their beautiful daughter?

"Hmmmp! That Jiang Yue is only beautiful on the outside but she is arrogant and willful. With all the rumors about her, I doubt that Young Master Fu will like her. They must have known each other because of their families." She added.

"But, mother, Yu Chen said that Young Master Fu is acting as if they have known each other for a long time now. He even knows elder sister’s favorite food and even dared to feed her!" Jiang Mian rebutted. After knowing what Fu Jin looked like, Jiang Mian can’t help but her desire to have him for herself.

After all, he is not only handsome, his background is also incomparable to anyone.

Lu Shi let out a sneer. "Hmp. Now that I think about it. Jiang Yue will also turn 18 a few weeks from now. She is of a marriageable age already. Chanming, have you already set an engagement for Jiang Yue?"

Jiang Chanming furrowed his brows when he heard Lu Shi. He understood Lu Shi’s train of thoughts. She is right. Jiang Yue will turn 18 soon, but he knows that he can’t just set up a random marriage engagement for her. Jiang Chanming knows that the Wang’s will surely intervene.

However, they need to make sure that Jiang Mian will get into the Fu Family. Jiang Yue could be a big hindrance to their plans. They needed to get rid of her.

"Do you have someone in mind?" He asked Lu Shi.

...

Jiang Yue, on the other hand, was having a very awkward moment around Bai’Li.

Today is the day that they ’decided’ to meet. Bai’Li is having mixed emotions. He is a little angry and excited. He is also expecting to see an expert. Someone that could possibly help him with his current predicament.

Who would have thought that he will have to meet with a young miss who looked like a real-life princess? Bai’Li didn’t know if he wanted to laugh or to cry. This is just a little girl ah. Where is the expert that he was looking for?

"Little girl. You must have mistaken me for someone. I am here to meet someone but I’m sure it’s not you. So please be kind and move to the other table. Alright?" Bai’Li tried to coax the pretty girl in front of him.

The girl just raised an eyebrow as she gives him a mischievous grin. "So... Did you like it?"

Bai’Li was stupefied. Must be a coincidence right? "I’m sorry? I don’t understand your question." He answered her. Looking a little lost.

"My creation. The one that you were not able to solve. I asked you if you like it but you didn’t answer me two weeks ago. So I’m asking you again. Now." She said.

Her statement made him speechless. This is out of his expectation at all.

The genius that he was expecting is a... little girl? Of course, this little girl that he was talking about is Jiang Yue.

He always thought he will meet someone who wears matching clothes with thick glasses and neat hair. Who would believe him if he told anyone that the expert who he was not able to beat is a teenager? This... This is a little unbelievable.

"You don’t believe me?" The girl frown at him.

"I... No... I was just wondering why did you want to meet me. You know my background. I just can’t show my face to public places like this."He lied.

"Hmmm... I already disabled the camera inside and outside the building." She immediately answered him.

Her statement made Bai’Li sigh in relief. His security is always one of his worries. He doesn’t know anyone in Xin City. If someone from the underground gang would know his location then he is done!

"I want you to work for me." Jiang Yue’s next statement left him in a daze. If this girl is already an expert, then why would she hire someone like him?

"I---"

"Let me finish." He was cut off by her imposing voice.

"I will take care of everything. You will have your own secure place until I solve your issues with the group of people pursuing you. I also heard you are a criminal so..."

"I already took care of that." He butted while giving her a proud look. Hacking into the police system is not an easy feat, it even took him almost 2 days but he was able to do it. He didn’t actually do it before because it would take too much time. And he didn’t have that luxury while he was still hiding with his mother.

After her mother’s death he decided to lay low to erase any traces of him before removing his files from the system.

Jiang Yue grinned at him. Seems like she wasn’t wrong in her choice of people.

"Good." She said. "We will start working next week after the National Exams. I already have a place prepared for you. You will be staying there until the construction of our office is finished. I would say another week or so.---"

"Wait... Stop... Wait..." Bai’Li interrupted her again. "When did I say that I work for you?"

"Do you have a choice?" She asked him in return.

"Here’s the thing, I know you don’t trust me. Yet. But I would really like for you to work for me. Don’t you want to get back to your enemies? Don’t you want to get your revenge? Your mother died because of them. I can give you what you want. Revenge, money, and fame. Just work for me." She convinced him.

This Bai’Li is a smart man. He knows what’s best for him.

"What’s the catch?" He asked her again. She is right. He can’t just trust anyone. Especially a little girl who is already an expert at such a young age.

"All legal stuff. I want your help to finish my project. Don’t worry about doing something illegal. I don’t need you for that. I am much better at them compared to you." She answered. Jiang Yue can already be considered an expert in coding. She only needed Bai’li to help with her company.

"So? What do you say?"

....

Jiang Yue was smiling to herself. They just drove Bai’Li to a secure place that was set up by Wang Minghua. After convincing him to join her, they immediately decided to go to a more secure place.

She already gave Bai’Li a vague explanation about his job and he immediately agreed to her terms. He really doesn’t have any choice. He doesn’t want to continue living in a basement while eating cold noddles and hacking random websites.

This made Jiang Yue ecstatic. All she needed is to wait for their new office and they can start everything. She wanted to finish this project immediately so she asked his grandfather to choose his most trustworthy employees. Then she convinced them to work for her.

Of course, It took a long time for all of them to trust her. After all she is just a teenager. But they were amazed by Jiang Yue’s skills.

Jiang Yue is excited to start her gaming company. This will be her stepping stone in building an empire. Her own empire.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the vibration of her phone.

It was a text message from Wang Minghua. She furrowed her brows while reading the text.

Her father just asked her grandfather to see her.

She wondered what could be his reasons behind this.

Is it another scheme?
