Birth of the Devilish CEO: So what if i'm a Lady?

Chapter 147: A threat but not a threat

Days turn into weeks but Lie Ruge did not still wake up. Yi Lan condition became worse, since he did not want to leave her sight for even a minute. Fei Yan was left with handling all the office works in his stead with some assistance from Tan Fan and Yun Yi who were more than willing to be of any help. After one week, Yi Lan prohibited the two of them from visiting the hospital at their own convenient time. He particularly outlined the exact time they were supposed to visit her. Xiao Bai was the only one who had free access to visit her any time she likes. Work at the office was quite hectic, so she normally visits the hospital during her lunch break and also after office hour. Thank goodness Ge'er forced her into learning business management or else she wouldn't have known what to do at the office. With Lie Feitian and Lie Ruge's aunts trying to remove Lie Ruge from her position as the CEO, she had a lot of work to do although she wasn't one bit scared of their threats. They called a board meeting, she and Xu Feng were ready for them. With Yi Lan's current condition, she did not tell him anything about what she was encountering at the office because she knew that Yi Lan will not hesitate from slitting the throat of anyone who dares to threaten his woman's position. Xiao Bai knew how scary Yi Lan could be when provoked, she has witness cases like that many times, and she gets extremely scared when Yi Lan is provoked beyond his limit. The meeting was the next day, she politely asked Yi Lan to excuse them because she wanted to speak to Lie Ruge privately.

" Ge'er, how are you? We have been waiting for you to wake up for the past three weeks now. Things are going smoothly in the office so you don't have to worry. I tried preventing this from happening but your uncle and aunts won't let me be. They even had the guts to call for a board meeting which will be held tomorrow. You should have seen the smile on their faces after you got injured that day although they didn't know that you are hospitalized. All their thoughts is that you are dead. Sorry Ge'er but I nearly gave your aunt a deafening slap when she said some atrocious words about you. How could they treat you in such way despite all the chances you have given them? I wish that you don't have such heartless people as your family members in your next life. Xu Feng has already told me not to worry about the board meeting because all the board members are scared of you, he said that they won't be in Lie Feitian's support no matter what he says or does and even though some do, I will just have to say some words, and they will tremble begging for mercy. Ge'er everyone at the office misses you so much that they keep asking me the day that you will come back from your international business trip. Yi Lan has lost a lot of weight taking care of you. He hardly eats or sleep he either keeps on staring at your face or reading some novels to you. I have told him not to be so worried countless times, but he won't listen to whatever I say. I think he will only listen if you were the one who said the words so wake up soon OK? I might not be able to visit you after work today but I will definitely visit you doing lunch hour tomorrow alright", Xiao Bai said planting a peck on her forehead. Yi Lan who was sitting down outside the chair immediately entered the room when Xiao Bai was through. Xiao Bai was busy signing the documents with Xu Feng patiently waiting for her to finish signing the documents so that she would hand over the documents to him. Just when Xu Feng wanted to walk out of the office with the signed documents Changle entered the office without even knocking the door. She was smiling as if she had just won the lottery.

" What are you still doing here? Shouldn't you be mourning your best friend's death? The news is spreading like wildfire throughout the whole building", Changle said smiling just to spite Xiao Bai. Xu Feng gritted his teeth in anger when he heard her words.

" What rubbish are you spouting from your mouth? Who told you that Ge'er is dead? I have never heard such news before, so where did you hear such news from or don't tell me you are the one that spread such malicious rumors about her?", Xiao Bai smiled back just so that she would make Changle angry.

" Are you accusing me of spreading the rumors and so what if I did, what can you do? Without Ge'er you are powerless. It is just a matter of one day before you will be shameful thrown out of the company. I think you should start packing your stuffs right now", Changle said walking up to where Xiao Bai was standing.

" Really? I think your Dad and aunts should be the ones doing the packing because when Ge'er comes back the five of you won't be able to keep your heads on your necks any longer. Oh! Before I forgot the news is all over the internet that you are getting married. If I may ask, who is the man who is willing to marry a sl*t like you?", Xiao Bai said smiling her most provoking smile.

" How dare you call me a sl*ut, you bitch", Changle said raising her right hand to slap Xiao Bai but Xiao Bai immediately grabbed Changle's hands smiling menacingly. Before Changle could react Xiao Bai quickly pulled her right hand to her back forcefully. Changle screamed due to the pains, she continually tapped her shoulder for Xiao Bai to let go of her hand but Xiao Bai did not give hears to all her screams of agony. Xiao Bai only pushed her some distance away from the table when she was satisfied with dealing with her.

" Don't you ever raised your filthy hand against me because if you repeat this stupid act again you won't be able to fathom what I will do to you. I barely held myself back from ripping your hands apart earlier but I promise I won't be so lenient next time", Xiao Bai said coldly. Changle shot her a murderous glare as she continued to nurse her pains.

" I will make you pay dearly for what you have just done. And when that day comes nobody will be there to save you. You will cry and scream your guts out but no one will come to your aide, I promise you this Xiao Bai", Lie Changle said grinding her teeth in anger.

" That will never happen because I Xiao Bai I'm not an easy target for anyone", Xiao Bai said.

" And I Changle has never lost any fight before. Look forward to what my present will be", Changle said smirking wickedly.

" Xu Feng don't you think that there is an annoying bug buzzing around in this office. It's kind of ruining my mood so can you get it out of my sight right this moment?", Xiao Bai said coldly turning around to sit down on her seat.

" You have overstayed your welcome so can you walk out of the office?", Xu Feng asked sternly giving her a cold glare.

" Are you talking to me?", Changle asked coldly while shooting him a sharp gaze.

" Who else I'm talking to if not you? Did you suddenly developed an ear disease or didn't you understand when the CEO said that you should piss off?", Xu Feng asked giving her a murderous stare. He had been holding himself back when she said those outrageous words about their Boss but right now he won't hesitate to severely deal with her since Miss Xiao Bai has given him permission to do so.

" Look at who is talking. Did you just realized who you are talking to? I can't believe that a common underdog has the guts to talk down to me. Do you know that I can have you killed for that one reason?", Changle shouted at the top of her voice.

" Don't let me personally throw you out because you won't like it one bit", Xu Feng said fiercely. Lie Changle only decided to walk out of the room when she realized that Xu Feng's words were not mere threats. Seconds turn into hours and it was time to hold the board meeting. Everyone was fully seated on their chairs, they were just waiting for the agenda of the meeting to be raised for discussion. Xiao Bai just fold her hands and watched how Lie Feitian was trying so hard to make sure that the board members does not change their minds at the dire minute. The meeting commenced fully and all the board members talked and argued for about two hours. They kept on bombarding Xiao Bai with questions which she always answered with a smile on her face. When they could not come to a conclusion on whether to remove Lie Ruge from her post or not since Xiao Bai and those who were in Lie Ruge's favor claimed that she was on an international business trip, Lie Feitian and his group brought up a suggestion that in order to believe that Xiao Bai and her group were not lying that they should reach the CEO through a video call. Lie Feitian was so happy when his group members agreed to the idea.

" Are you sure you want to make a video call with the CEO?", Xiao Bai asked coldly them with a wicked smile on her face. They hesitated when Xiao Bai asked them the questions, they looked at one another with a questioning gaze and Lie Feitian signalled them to say yes.

" Yes, we have to. You cannot change our minds no matter?", they all shouted erratically.

" I'm giving you a second chance to change your mind. So are you all sure you want to communicate with the CEO through a video call?", Xiao Bai asked once again and their answer was still the same. Xiao Bai signalled for Xu Feng to proceed with their request and their Boss line immediately appeared on the screen.

" I will gladly grant your request but just a little warning from me. I counted about twenty-five board members who agreed with this outrageous request. You all know how your CEO is right? What do you think she will do to all those who supported this request? Can one of you tell me? Oh! I think I know what she will do, she will not only blacklist all of you from the business circle but all of your businesses will be plagued with an invisible force within twenty-four hours. Hey! Don't get me wrong I'm not discouraging anyone alright but don't forget I warned you all so if anything happens to you just know that you are the architect of your own misfortune", Xiao Bai said beckoning them to go ahead with the call.
