novelThe devils wife
| ← Ch.193 | Ch.195 → |
Gu Jinyang finally understood that the masked lady was none other than Luo Xiaolei. No wonder Yu Chen had told him that he would be the one to deal with Xiao Mimi.
'Sigh... surprises just keep on coming... ' he could only mumble to himself before he finally left, dragging his brother away to make sure he wouldn't cause any trouble for her. Of course, he didn't mention to his nosy young brother what he found out.
After leaving Yu Empire, Luo Xiaolei and Juu headed to Star Castle. Her babies were set to debut this week. Their music video was already released last night and the result wasn't bad at all. In fact, it was a huge success. The views the MV gathered within twenty-four hours were more than they expected. It was unprecedented.
These boys appeared like a bomb back in her previous life as well, but Luo Xiaolei thought that things could've change this time, especially because their style this time was a bit different and they had a completely different team they were working with now. But it appeared that they really were born to become superstars. She always knew they would, because they really deserved this.
"Congratulations!" Luo Xiaolei was smiling widely at her eight babies and the whole team.
The boys looked happy and almost all of them even teared up. Unlike Luo Xiaolei, the boys didn't expect that their debut would be this huge at all. That was why they were overwhelmed. They finally convinced themselves that they didn't need to be afraid and just believe in themselves, because they could do this.
"Boss, Miss Luo... we can't thank you enough for believing in us since the beginning. We will do this and make you proud of us. We will never give you any reason to regret your faith in us." Lu Xiaotian spoke emotionally and the others nodded their agreement as they wiped their tears of joy.
"We will do this!" they said and Luo Xiaolei was touched.
"Good... you better show me what you've got. This is just the beginning of your journey so don't ever forget the hardships you guys went through. If you want to reach the top, work harder more than anyone else and never give up. You understand?"
"Yes, miss!"
...
In what seemed like the speed of lightning, it was now exactly four months since Yu Chen fell into a coma.
Inside a low key black car, a lady in a business suit was busy talking on her phone. She just arrived at Central City from a business deal overseas and was now on her way to Yu Empire's headquarters.
It was already nine in the evening and it seemed like she still didn't have any plans to take a break.
Upon arriving, Gu Jinyang and the secretaries were already waiting for her at the building's entrance.
"CEO Yu. Welcome back, " the secretaries bowed to show their respect and the lady just smiled at them before she immediately spoke to Gu Jinyang regarding the result of her business trip.
When she finally entered the CEO's office located on the top floor, the men who were with her the whole time simultaneously sighed.
"Our lady boss is so serious today!" Gu Wei was the one who spoke as he leaned on the wall, crying without tears."She's slowly becoming like big boss Chen as time goes by. I want our cheerful Miss back! T^T" he complained and the others didn't disagree with him.
They all noticed this after all - that their lady boss had changed so much over the past few months.
Since Luo Xiaolei stepped in as the temporary CEO of Yu empire about three months ago, half of Yu Chen's guards became her very own body guards. She was now their new boss.
The men, including old man Yu and Gu Jinyang were extremely surprised that day when she decided to take over Yu Empire. She was only twenty-two, how could they let her lead such a huge company? What more, she immediately wanted to be the CEO?
Everyone was appalled that very moment she expressed her desire to take over her husband's position temporarily.
Gu Jinyang was even strongly against it. There was no way an inexperienced fresh graduate could become a CEO! It was absolutely outrageous!
Old man Yu was of course against her request as well, but he didn't want to just decline her. Instead, he agreed to make her his personal assistant. He gave her all the paperwork that were meant for the company's CEO while assisting her closely before giving her more challenging tasks. He did that to show her what the reality of being a CEO was like.
The old man had noticed the subtle change in her since Yu Chen fell into a coma. He was sure that she wanted distractions. She wanted to bury herself with work even though she was already busy enough. The old man also knew that she was the CEO of an entertainment company and her company was steadily climbing up the ladder of success despite it being established in a very short time. But a small company like that was nothing compared to an empire. So he let her experience it, thinking that she would give up herself later on when she realized how outrageous her request was.
But the unthinkable happened. The old man was utterly shocked with the results she showed him. Xiaolei, her beloved granddaughter was actually a genius when it came to business. He couldn't believe that she was only twenty-two and inexperienced. Her ability shocked him to his bones. It appeared that she was on par with Yu Chen, his genius grandson. She was simply out of this world that the old man even let her deal with a very important project just to make himself believe that her ability was real.
It didn't take more than ten days before the old man confidently gave her the position. But as per Xiaolei's request, they never made her name known to the public, nor her face. She chose to be exactly like Yu Chen and remained hidden from the public eyes.
Under her leadership, the already great empire was growing even greater. Because the new CEO wasn't a terrifying devil who was fond of forcing his business partners to abide by his rules, they found it easier to work with the devil's wife. As a result, Xiaolei had created new good partnerships with many businesses.
"Miss, I think you should leave the rest to me now. Please go home and rest." Gu Jinyang finally told her. He had seen just how hard she worked over these past few months. In fact, she was overworking herself. She was slowly becoming like Yu Chen before he met her - a workaholic devil.
When Xiaolei didn't even lift her head and continued flipping the documents in her hand, Gu Jinyang sighed."Mrs. Yu... don't you miss your husband?"
