Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 321 - No News Still

CHAPTER 321 – No News Still

"Okay. I would go up first," Li Jing announced.

Just as she was about leaving the parlor he called out again. Li Jing."

"Yes?" She turned around to look at her grandfather only to see a sweet smile plastered on his no too aged face.

"You made a great deal today. Kim Group, called and pleaded for the partnership, begging for fifty-five to forty-five percent for the business deal."

"Oh and what did grandpa tell them?"

"I told them I wasn't the one they offended, so the deal would be left for you., the new CEO to decided."

"Oh." Li Jing lowered her eyes. She knew he was testing her to see how well her business sense would come to play. "And what does grandfather think? Should Li Jing accept it or not?"

"Like I said, it is still for you to decided," Lin Zian replied calmly.

"Okay. If they are really sorry for their error, it is understandable but five percent is not good enough but considering it was someone from our company that stole the files and sent them out, I would agree to leave it at fifty-seven to forty-three percent."

"Hmm, do you think it is wise?"

"Yes grandfather because this would also teach them not to cross with us wrongly in the future. This is business and there should be trust. Our families have been partners for years. I never expected this from them."

"Spoken well but since we contributed to the error, it would be wrong if only them pay for this. Leave it at fifty-five to forty-five and have Lin Xuilan pay up the five percent as compensation."

"Oh, if it is that, no worries grandpa. I already asked that she transfer her shares in the company alongside that of her sons under my name."

"Wow!" Lin Zian was surprised at what he just heard. "And she agreed?"

"She has no choice. It is either she does or I send the footage to the cops and have Lin Jingyi pay for his crimes."

"Nicely done. You cornered her. I am guessing this would not be the end?"

"No grandfather. I have them in the palm of my hands. While still keeping a close eye on them. If she is good, by the end of one month, I would give her five percent of her shares back."

"And if not?" Lin Zian questioned, looking at Li Jing through his lashes.

"The deal remains. She gets nothing, only losing claims and future rights to the company. It was never theirs to begin with. I am only getting rid of the weeds in the company."

His smile widened at her. She really had her mother's wit. Although she was still learning as Lin Qinyang could be more ruthless when she was dealing with betrayers.

"I am proud of you, Li Jing. I am proud of what you have achieved. You really are a daughter of the Lin family. Keep it up, my dear."

"Thank you grandfather. If you would excuse me, grandpa."

"Yes, please go and have a rest."

"Thanks." Li Jing smiled back, before taking her leave.

Days went on that way and she scaled through each and every issues brought her way. What even made it all easier was that she got information from Deng Meili about some of their plans and knew how to handle them.

Up till that moment, she still had not gotten any news from the person that went to search for her mother and that had made her feel so bad. It wasn't funny to her.

She had felt by now, she should hopefully be hearing some good news concerning it.

'I better call him to get a go on what he has found so far.' Li Jing thought.

She took her phone and went to search for his number. Just about the same time, his call came in. Quickly she answered it and placed it on her left ear.

"h.e.l.lo, evening. I was just about to call you," Li Jing immediately bombarded him with her words.

"Miss Li, evening. My apologies for not reaching out to you since and the delay I caused."

"It is no problem. So what have you gotten so far?"

"I apologies but this is an old case and there are a lot of dead ends," the tracker informed.

Li Jing let out a soft sigh. She had been antic.i.p.ating a good news when she saw his call only to hear this.

"I also found out that it is as though someone is erasing whatever evidence or link that there is to your mother's where about of where she had been after she left home. It is also no wonder why all of your grandfather's search had proved abortive."

"What? Are you sure of what you are saying?"

"Yes. They have been preventing him from finding your mother all these years. All his searches have been blocked," the man explained again.

"If that is so , wouldn't they block yours as well when they notice you are on to her?" ,Li Jing was getting scared that something really bad must have happened to her mother that was why all of these things were happening.

"Relax, Miss Li Jing. Although they had succeeded in doing so to your father, this time around, you got me. I would try my best. I promise you, even though it would take time, but we would find your mother."

"Alright. I believe you. Please, remember to keep this a secret from anyone in my family. Only report to me."

"I have my code of conduct. You have nothing to be worried about."

"Okay. I would take your word for it. Thank you so much."

"Anytime. Bye. I would keep in touch and guide you on all my progresses from now on."

"Yes, please do. Bye."

Beep!

She placed the phone down on the bed beside her and covered her face with her hands. "Arrghhh!"

Li Jing yelled into her palm until she could not take it and she fell face forward on the bed, crying her heart out loud. "Mother!"
