CHAPTER 125
The time has come for Bai Renxiang to resume her work as the CEO of Jiang's Corporation. She woke up very very early that morning to start preparing for her day. She took out the clothes she bought on one of her shopping times and headed to the laundry room to iron the clothes to straighten the little wrinkles here and there on the clothes.
Bai Renxiang quickly took her and wire her clothes. Since she is now a CEO, she decided to dress according to her new status. She wore a pure white coloured pantsuit and her black waist length full hair let down in light curls with a side path. She matched the suit with the transparent heels showcasing her beautiful little feet and earrings alone with the limited edition D&G white purse.
Her make up was kept simple and moderate. A little blush on both of her soft rosy cheeks and her rosy lips were coated with a lip gloss that has the same colour as her lips.
Bai Renxiang looked angelic and boss-like at the same time.
She quickly prepared breakfast and bath for her mother and son as usual and woke them up. After bathing, dressing and eating, their doorbell rang. Shin, Shane and Charlie were outside their apartment.
Jiang Meilin allowed them in and offered them some breakfast. Charlie had personally come to pick her up as per Old man Jiang's orders while Shin and Shane came to wish her goodluck on her first day of work.
After getting ready to leave, Bai Renxiang hugged and pecked Bai Xiaojin as he also wished her luck. Then she bidded the rest goodbye as she boarded the white coloured Mercedes Maybach S-Class car waiting for them along with Charlie as they drove to Jiang's Corporation.
At this time, the company was bustling as usual. The employees had heard news about the CEO that will the taking over Jiang's Corporation and that the person will be arriving today, so they heard. So they were anticipating the arrival of their new CEO.
"Will the new CEO be handsome?" An employee asked amongst his group.
"Maybe. We should keep our fingers crossed on the looks," another one said.
"I wonder how old this our new boss will be."
"Or how tall and masculine he will be." The discussion reigned from my new department to another and from one group to another.
Meanwhile, Charlie began to brief Bai Renxiang on her schedule. Old man Jiang wanted her schedule to be easy for the first day of her work so he asked Charlie to push all the meetings except the meeting with the board to other days.
So today, after the board meeting, she would go through all files that will be brought to her, review them, approve of the ones that needs to be approved, append her signature to some and so on.
Bai Renxiang felt like a huge weight has been placed on her shoulders. She wondered how other CEO like her ex big boss felt when they took over their family's business. She also thought of how the meeting with the board go.
As if he could read her mind, Charlie smiles and said some assuring words to help her calm down.
"Do not worry young miss. Everything will be alright. Just believe in yourself, think carefully, go with the flow and most importantly... Do not let them trample on you."
Bai Renxiang listened carefully to his words. She inhaled and exhaled for sometime and nodded her head in understanding of what he said. Her grandfather had put his fate and that of the company's in her hands. She will work hard to make sure that she does not fail him or make him regret his decision.
It took them an hour to get to the company. On their arrival, the heads of department and other important person- both men and women, in the company were outside waiting for her to come.
Bai Renxiang did her inhaling and exhaling exercise once more as Charlie alighted from the car. He walked round the car to where she sat in the car and opened the door for her. He bowed his head down and greeted respectfully.
"Welcome to Jiang's Corporation boss." His actions stunned Bai Renxiang. The word 'boss' made her feel powerful and at the same time nervous. She mumbled a thank you to him making Charlie to almost chuckle bit he hid it behind the clearing of his throat.
Bai Renxiang let out a final nervous breath before she stepped out of the car. She came out in elegance, her face devoid of emotion like her old self and her head held high as she looked up at the building standing tall and proud and radiating under the sun that shone, taking in its appearance.
Then her cold gaze landed on the group of people that lined up at the front of the entrance. They all bowed and greeted in unison.
"Welcome to Jiang's Corporation boss." They even presented he with flowers and a bodyguard besides them received the flowers for her.
Bai Renxiang nodded her head in acknowledgement of their greetings. She looked at Charlie signaling him to lead the way into the company as it is her very first time of being here.
Charlie got the signal and nodded curtly before he started walking forward. "Please follow me boss."
Just as they were near the glass door, it was pushed open. It was a good thing that none of them were in close proximity with the door or else, a bleeding nose would have been the result.
Standing in front of the door in a somewhat guarded manner- as if he were a bouncer, is a man between his mid-forties and early fifties. In a gray suit with white shirt and blue tie inside the coat, the Vice President, Jiang Bojing blocked their paths towards the door.
Charlie, the men and women that came out to welcome Bai Renxiang were confused at what the man was doing. Seeing that Charlie was not moving forward, Bai Renxiang step out from behind his back to see what caused the sudden pause.
She raised her brows when she saw a man who seemed to be her be of her mother's age or older a bit standing with an angry expression on his face. Bai Renxiang knows this man.
He is among the details of the heads and powerful people on the company that Charlie had sent to her.
Jiang Bojing, fifty-one years old and current Vice President of Jiang's Corporation. So this is the person that grandfather's junior brother wanted to sit on the seat of CEO. She could feel the bad vibes looming over this man.
"Vice president Jiang Bojing have come to welcome our new CEO?" Charlie asked with a professional smile. But hidden behind that smile is a vicious glare directed to the Vice President.
"No, I have not Assistant Charlie," the man's voice resounded out for all of them to hear. Bai Renxiang could not help but chuckle within herself as she now understood with his short response what he is trying to do.
"Then I must say that you are being a blockage to our CEO's steps into the company. Please step aside," Charlie said.
"Then I must also say that I will not allow that woman to step foot into Jiang's Corporation building. Please leave immediately," he said while pointing his finger at Bai Renxiang who remained quiet since his arrival.
The heads of department all gasped on shock as they had their eyes staring wide eyed in disbelief at the words that just dropped out of the Vice President's lips.
'Is he crazy? How can he utter such words to the CEO? Where did he get a tiger's heart to eat for breakfast this morning?' where the questions running in the minds of the men behind Charlie and Bai Renxiang.
"Vice President Bojing I suggest you filter the words that are manufactured in your brain and comes out from your mouth. Do not make an unnecessary scene outside the company. Words gets out and you know it yourself," Charlie was beginning to get annoyed at the delay that the so called vice president is causing at the moment.
"You call this an unnecessary scene? You call not allowing the daughter of an illegitimate child to enter into the company an unnecessary scene? That woman is unfit for the position as CEO of a huge business company like Jiang's Corporation," he raised his voice at Charlie.
'How can this nobody of a young man have the guts to talk to me that way? It is because uncle has given him too much leverage to do so. Once I become the CEO, he will be the first I will remove from the company.'
That statement was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Bai Renxiang had had it with this nuisance if a person that is called Vice President. How dare he call her mother illegitimate?
"Then who do you dim fit for the position of CEO?" Bai Renxiang's icy voice rang out from their midst. She refuse to keep mute while some old barf talk bad about her mother.
