Chapter 5- Dinner with parents pt.1

Chen wu Pov:

Finally this meeting is over with sitting there listening to everyone discussing about the project that we are working together isn't something I enjoy.

Ever since I have taken over this position from my father I don't have time to rest. Building this company to what it is today takes hard work and this project takes million's to work on and that is why I had this meeting today to go over the necessary things we need for this project.

For over the next few weeks I'll have to look more into this project so I can finalize it. That's why I had my PA go fetch An li for me.

Seeing someone running over to me and bowing I heard her.

"Mr. president sir i-i am sorry did I do something wrong".

Bowing to chen wu again while saying sorry.

“I'm sorry if I made a mistake, please don't fire me".

An-li didn't know that there were still some people there, instead of hearing the president's voice she heard somebody else's.

"Chen wu, who is this pretty lady"

Hearing someone call her pretty made her blush so she has her head down.

"She's my new secretary".

Replying back to that person who asked him about An-li.

It made her blush more and shiver hearing the president's cold and deep voice. Telling her brain to calm down.

"Well nice to meet you my name is Lei Chun he" you can call me Chun He stretching his hand out to An li.

"U-umm n-nice to meet you too my name is Lee An-li". Looking up she saw his hand stretching out to her so she did the same shaking his hand with a nervous smile.

Well with that the other president's and vice-president's and PA's bid Chen wu goodbye until their next meeting.

"With An-li standing next to me I bid my guests goodbye", she's bowing to them while I shake their hands.

"Chen wu I'll have to head back to my company now, until then keep in touch and oh tell your parents that my parents say hi.

"Of course I'll let them know, and I'll try to keep in touch with Chun He" with my schedule being busy I'll call you sometime.

Still standing there An li bow to Chun He too biding him farewell.

"H-have a good day-sir" Chun He chuckled at An-li for being so cute and innocent.

"Call me Chun He" is smiling at An-li.

"But isn't that being rude to you".

"No it's not being rude we can be friends chuckle again".

"T-then have a good day C-chun he" giving him a small smile and bowing to him with that Chun He bid Chen wu and An li goodbye.

"Let's go"

Turning around heading to his office once they got there Chen wu went behind his desk and took a seat.

"Sit down", looking up at An li nodding her head.

“Y-yes sir".

Without thinking she blurred out “I'M SORRY, if I did something wrong please don't fire me yet".

“Calm down will you who said anything about me firing you". ( telling her in a tone of annoyance )

“I just want you to write down my next meeting".

“O-ok sir. What day would you like to have it and the time”.

“On the 24th of june Monday at 10am".

"Alright s-sir. U-umm sir about my lunch break when c-can I take it fidgeting her fingers together".

“You can take your break now you get 30 minutes".

"O-ok" is there anything else you need sir.

“Now you can go".

An li got up bowed to Chen wu and left.

..."Stupid heart of mine"...

An li said in a low voice when she was out of the door. Returning back to his work Chen wu was going to buzz in for his PA to go get lunch for him but his cellphone rang.

Checking his cellphone recognized the phone number he answered, "Hello mom what do you want?"

"Well hello to you too dear. I call you today to have you come home for dinner your dad wants to discuss some matter's with you".

"I am busy mom", I still have some documents that I need to look at.

"Come on son we haven't seen you for a while now don't you love your parents anymore".

While his mom pretended to cry and said to her husband "Dear husband our son doesn't love us anymore pretend to cry more".

“Sigh.......fine I'll come...."

"Really you'll come I'll have the cook prepare your favorites". smiling to her husband while he's sitting there reading his newspaper shaking his head.

“Come at 8pm, ok son bye love you I am gonna go have them prepare soon".

Both hang up after saying bye, now continuing with his work Chen wu got something in his mind that he can't get it out and it's distracting him.

Then he remembered what it was, An li's information he dialed his PA

"Hello Mr. president" Wu Xun responded back.

"It's about An li information that I had you check up on do you have it with you yet".

"Actually Mr. president I was going to be on way to your office with her info".

“Good come right in when you arrive here."

"yes sir". ending the call with Chen wu.

Xun Wu knocks on the door and opens saying "Mr. president here's the information you wanted".

Nodding his head "You can go now" bowing to chen wu he left closing the door on his way out. Since his personal assistant left he looked at An li info right away engrossing in it.

"Father name- Lee Jiao Long/Mother name- Yuan Chun Li both work as farmers and grow their own crops. They raised An li when she was 1 year old.

Though they were struggling with financial An li also work she had worked more than one job to support her self with college tuition and helping her parents. To this day she is still paying for her college fees, her parents would help her pay for it but not much that it would cover her fees. As farmers her parents barely get enough money due to poor weather conditions or sometimes the dirt is too dry that the crops will die. An-li is 21 years old now so after graduating from college she decided to pick up more hours at work to get at least some money to pay half of her fees, but it depends on her jobs being busy or not busy she would ask her boss if she could pick up more hours. She would also ask her boss to work everyday of the week just to get something out of it or if other people can't make it to work she would volunteer to work for them in their place. That's how An-li is she's a hard worker even if she has to push herself to work she doesn't complain to the point she exhaust herself or when she's going to faint she would keep working. Her parents would also give her money so she can use it to pay for her fee An-li wouldn't budge it, because her parents work hard for their money so she wouldn't want to take it too. They would secretly pay her fee for her and she wouldn't notice it. Eventually she found out one day when she got a call that $4000 was paid for so she asked the person, and that person told her that it was a friend that paid for it. And her only friend is ling ling so when she called and asked her. Ling ling told An-li that she was at work so it wasn't her. When she got home that day she asked her parents about it they didn't want to tell her but the way she kept asking both of them, they gave in and told her that it was them.

Reading all her information Chen wu got lost in his own world again for the second time today. Thinking that it wasn't easy for her and her parents to go through all that.

Feeling his cellphone vibrate again he looked at it and it was his mom called again he picked up "hello mom why did you call me again".

"Well son it's getting late, and why are you not here yet where are you"

Looking at the time on his watch it's 7 pm already. "Sorry mom I am still at the company I'll be over when I finish with what I am doing".

"Ok well hurry up then the food will get cold".

"Bye mom see you in 30 minutes". SIGH...!!!

Putting An-li information away in his drawer and locked it grabbing his keys on the side table and his suit jacket from the hanger, and left his company.

Now heading to his parents house Chen wu is still in thoughts about An li info. Driving in the driveway he parked his car and headed to the front ringing the doorbell waiting for someone to open the door.

"Hello young master" come on when your parents are waiting for you inside.

Heading in, their butler went ahead and told his parents that he had arrived. Hearing their butler announced that their son is here made them have bright smiles.
