Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 77 A Capable Man (1)

'Oh no!'

Director Tian saw that everybody had already gathered on the helipad and there was already a helicopter that was parked on it. Most importantly, there was a young man standing in the middle of the crowd.

The noble bearing and elegant aura that the young man was exuding was potent. Director Tian's knees wobbled as numerous eyes went to land on him.

Sweat continuously appeared on his forehead before it would fall on his cheeks to his chin like a candle wax melting.

Special assistant glanced towards the elevator and frowned. Although he wasn't the real president that everyone was looking forward to seeing, he was still the man who worked very closely with the big boss and claimed the most enviable position as the special assistant of the renowned 'Devil' of the business world.

Thus, seeing such tardiness from somebody when others had already rushed here without caring about their appearance, Special assistant Guo's attention was quickly drawn and his displeasure towards Director Tian had grown a bit more even before he could have known his name.

Mr. Smith, a shareholder and a man with both ancestry coming from the Western and Chinese blood, stepped forward and introduced who the newcomer was as if it was his great duty to report to the big boss who came late.

He leaned forward and said in a low voice, "The man who just came right now is Director Tian, Mr. President."

Special assistant Guo's frown deepened.

'So, it was him... But where's his brother?'

According to the reports he got from the head office after they investigated what happened, it turned out that Director Tian had used his position to let his brother-in-law into one of the employees of the hotel. Not only that, he also quickened Huo Chang's promotion from an ordinary hotel valet to become one of the managers in just 2 years.

Moreover, the two had been in shady activities with the rivaling hotels in the city and kept in contact with other wealthy people.

From what Special assistant Guo heard, this pair of brothers with no drop of blood connecting the two of them, had been acting as if they were the owners of the hotel and pulled in so many favors and did some horrible things such as manipulating the rooms at their wills.

"Director Tian, is it?" Special assistant Guo tasted the name as if it was a piece of delicious and saucy meat dangling in front of him. He eyed the man he had just called for a few seconds.

Director Tian, a little too afraid to come forward after being seen late, didn't know if he should come forward or stay in his place where the elevator was just behind his back. However, when he saw the disapproving eyes from the higher ranking employees and shareholders, he forced himself to walk forward only stopping a few feet away from the young man and thrusted himself to the place where he should have stood if he wasn't late.

However, before he could totally hide his presence and the fiasco he had done, Director Tian saw the young man waving for him to come closer.

Looking left and to his right, Director Tian felt even more anxious when no one came forward. It only meant that it was him who was being waved at and not anybody else.

Taking a large gulp, Director Tian walked haltingly towards the front while hoping that he was wrong and that the young man was calling onto somebody else. Unfortunately for him, his fate had been sealed the moment he came late and took everybody's attention.

"You're Director Tian?" the young man asked. It was not a question but rather, asking for confirmation.

Director Tian nodded his head and answered, "That is right... Sir."

Special assistant Guo nodded his head. He walked forward and raised his hand. Director Tian flinched while thinking he was going to be hit. It was not only him who was thinking like this. Everyone in that place was expecting the young president to kick him. The scene before them was almost identical to how movies would show a subordinate being slapped on the face by a mafia boss.

Everybody held their breaths, waiting for the sound of skin being hit. Some were afraid. Some were anticipating the show. Some were excitedly watching this happen to Director Tian. And some were observing the young man to see how they will have to act towards him from now on if he really hit Director Tian.

​ But what they didn't expect was that the young president didn't lay his hands on Director Tian. He just raised his arm and put it around the latter's shoulder, acting as if he was no stranger to Director Tian.

"So, you are Director Tian." Special assistant Guo smiled. His eyes curved like a fox as he gripped Director Tian's other shoulder. "You look like a very capable man. I also heard many things about you before I came here."

Director Tian's heart that thudded and jumped erratically finally braked into a stop, screeching loudly inside him.

"Thank you for the praise, Sir." Director Tian almost blushed at the compliments he received. Not only that, the young man was so strikingly charming and handsome that even he, a man, would feel a bit envious and blush when being praised by such a man.

"No, you don't have to thank me, Director Tian." Special assistant Guo acted especially familiar with him. "After all, I am just speaking the truth."

Director Tian's lips finally showed a smile. He was praised in front of everyone. He could easily see everybody's bitter expression seeing him together with the mysterious president while thinking his promotion was just around the corner.

'Yes, the president must be acting like this because he will promote me, right?' Director Tian was gleeful inwardly, not showing a bit of his excited anticipation on his face.

However, before Director Tian could completely revel in his fortune, the young man with his arm around his shoulder spoke again.

"Director Tian is really capable..." Special assistant Guo looked at the crowd with a smile, "He could even rope in the favors of many wealthy men."

He took a pause before he added, "For example, President Qin."
