Chapter 147: Taking over without breaking(2)

She had a lot of work to do, and she needed to focus. As she read through the reports and financial statements, Tang Xue Mei’s mind began to spin with different ideas and strategies.

She was interrupted by a knock at the door. It was her father’s assistant, Mrs. Wang. "Miss Tang, the board of directors is waiting for you in the conference room," she said.

Tang Xue Mei stood up, smoothing out her dress. She took a deep breath and walked out of the office, ready to face the challenges ahead.

As she entered the conference room, she saw the board of directors seated around the table, their faces serious and concerned.

"Miss Tang," the chairman began,

"we are glad to see you taking an interest in the company. Your father’s condition is...unfortunate, and we need someone to take charge."

Tang Xue Mei nodded and sat down, her face calm and cold. "I am ready to take on the responsibility," she said, her voice firm and confidence.

The board of directors nodded, their faces skeptical but also impressed. They knew that Tang Xue Mei was young and inexperienced, but they also knew that she was her father’s daughter, and that she had a natural talent for business.

As the meeting went on, Tang Xue Mei outlined her plans for the company’s future. She spoke confidently and clearly, her ideas and strategies impressing the board of directors.

By the end of the meeting, Tang Xue Mei had won over the board’s approval. She was officially appointed as the interim CEO of the company, and she was ready to take on the challenge of leading her father’s empire.

As the meeting adjourned, Tang Xue Mei felt a sense of relief wash over her. She had done it. She had convinced the board of directors to give her a chance to lead the company and mostly because of her shares, they couldn’t choose another person even if they want to.

Tang Xue Mei sat down at her desk, she noticed a piece of paper on her desk. It was a note, written in her father’s handwriting.

"Be careful," it read. "They will stop at nothing to get what they want. Trust no one."

Tang Xue Mei’s heart skipped a beat as she read the note. Her father had known something was wrong.

She looked around the office, feeling a sense of unease. She was alone, but it felt like she was being watched. She had to be careful.

Tang Xue Mei took a deep breath, she was the CEO of the company and she was going to do everything in her power to uncover the truth behind her father’s accident.

"Call Beicheng for me, let him run things here on my behalf..."

An Yu nodded seeing as Tang Xue Mei had become slightly pale.

"You don’t look so good?"

"I’ll be fine, I just have an headache.."

Tang Xue Mei rest her head waiting for Ming Beicheng to get there.

An Yu bit his lips and walked outside to make a call same time Tang Xue Mei also received a call from Feng Shihan.

"Hey..."

"Shihan...you called so late..."

"I’m sorry I won’t be able to call you everyday but I will whenever I get the chance..."

Tang Xue Mei sat at her desk, her phone pressed to her ear as she listened to Feng Shihan’s voice on the other end. She was trying to hold back tears, but it was no use. They streamed down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Feng Shihan was startled when he heard Tang Xue Mei sob over the phone.

His hands clenched, he didn’t know what was going over there, he couldn’t hug her or comfort her in person.

And it broke him completely.

"Xue Mei, what’s wrong? What’s happening?"

But Tang Xue Mei couldn’t speak. She couldn’t form words, couldn’t explain the fears and doubts that were swirling in her mind. She just cried, her body shaking with sobs.

Feng Shihan didn’t push her to talk. He just listened, his silence a comforting presence on the other end of the line. He knew that sometimes, all she needed was someone to listen, someone to be there for her.

As she cried, Feng Shihan spoke softly, his words a gentle murmur in her ear. "I’m here, Xue Mei. I’m here for you. You’re not alone."

"But you’re not...you’re so far away...everything is falling apart.."

Feng Shihan felt a pang in his chest as he pursed his lips, his silence making Tang Xue Mei sob more.

"I’m sorry, I left you and our babies, I left so much in your hands and it’s breaking you.."

Tang Xue Mei felt a surge of comfort at his words even though she knew he was not the one at fault.

He was thousands of miles away, serving in the military, but in that moment, it felt like he was right there with her.

She cried for a few more minutes, her tears slowly subsiding as Feng Shihan’s soothing voice calmed her down. Finally, she took a deep breath and wiped her nose with a tissue.

"I’m sorry, Shihan..I lashed out on you.."she whispered, her voice barely audible.

"I don’t mind...scolded me however you like I’m the one fault..."

Feng Shihan’s response was immediate.

"My father’s is in coma, I had to send my mother out of the country because all the investigation pointed to her...I don’t know what to do Shihan.."

Feng Shihan frowned it seems things had gone south since he left.

"I might be far but I know what to do.."

Tang Xue Mei felt a lump form in her throat at his words and more tears flooded her eyes. She knew that she was lucky to have a husband like Shihan.

"Thank you, Shihan," she whispered, her voice filled with gratitude.

Feng Shihan’s response was soft and gentle. "You don’t have to thank me, I’ll do over and over again if it would make my wife happy.."

"I love you Shihan, please come back to me.."

"You are my world Xue Mei, I never thought it would be this hard to live without you neither did I think I would have to be this far to realize how much I love you.."

Tang Xue Mei face reddened her mood completely uplifted.

"I have to go now, I call when I have some news.."

An Yu held his shirt tightly as he leaned against the door.

She loved him, he always thought...that’s right it was all in his imagine. This was Feng Shihan, how could she not fall in love with him.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down before walking inside.

"He’s on his way, would you like to get lunch before that?"

Tang Xue Mei sat down at the small café with An Yu sitting next to her..

The waitress came over, and Tang Xue Mei ordered a veggie sandwich and a glass of ginger tea. An Yu ordered the same except with a fruit juice,they sat down at a quiet table by the window.

They ate their meals in silence and An Yu just ended up watching Tang Xue Mei than eating.

"I’m not a Tv you should be eating..."

Tang Xue Mei raised her head as she wiped her hand with a paper tissue.

"I’ve eaten to my fill..."

Tang Xue Mei raised a brow, he couldn’t even finish half a sandwich.

"Whatever’s running through your mind...clear it, you need your energy if you want to protect me.."

An Yu sighed how he wished he could protect her forever.

Would she ever love him if Feng Shihan didn’t come back? An Yu shook head was he really wishing death to a man he owe so much.

He lowered his eyes, he needed to get rid of these feelings while they were still fresh.

"It’s a lovely cafe, i like the aesthetic.."

Ding!

Tang Xue Mei’s phone brightened and she saw a text from Tang Can.

{We’re here but where’s mum?}

Tang Xue Mei sighed and grabbed her phone sending a message back.

{Meet me at my place in 30 minutes}

Tang Xue Mei drank the last bit of ginger tea and stood up.

"Let’s go..."

She paid for the food before leaving the cafe.

She had to wait for Ming Beicheng to come before she could leave the company.
