Chapter 25: 025: Paternal Cousins (3) At the Crowned Regent Hotel. As usual, Yue Xuexia woke up in the middle of the day, still sleeping soundly in her big bed with her orca-shaped onesie on. Little Taiyang, who was Yue Xuexia's assistant and could sign documents on her behalf because Yue Xuexia gave him that authority, was the one who met the people from It Company Blackapp and Island Hospital. In reality, though, Little Taiyang was just hanging around, and Little Xuexia was doing most of the work. When the Fu brothers, Fu Rue and Fu Ruan, went to see Aunt Lin early this morning, they asked her if she knew where Yue Xuexia was. When they found out that Aunt Lin did not know where Xue'er had gone either, they were only able to get in touch with Uncle Yue, who informed them that she was spending the night at Crowned Regent. Fu Rue, Fu Ruan, and Lin Xiyu had all gone to the hotel to meet Yue Xuexia. When they got there, Lin Xiyu wanted to run away from his workplace, which was a five-star hotel with opulent furnishings. If the brothers had not video called Uncle Yue and seen the lavish interior of the Moonlight Lake Mansion, they would not have believed Xue'er would be staying here. Fu Ruan asked, "Xiyu, do you need to hide your face?" "Well... Not really. I've asked for a paid half leave but didn't expect to end up going here," replied Lin Xiyu. Fu Rue asked, "How can we meet Xue'er? Let's try calling her first but I doubt she is awake at this time." As expected, Yue Xuexia's phone is ringing, and no one is picking it up. Little Taiyang connected Yue Xuexia's phone and saw that her cousins had messaged her and attempted to call her, but that lazy thing is currently sound asleep. The brothers had gathered at the hotel lounge and allowed Fu Rue to call Yue Xuexia. Little Taiyang was having a conversation at the hotel's café area with the CEO of Blackapps and the Hospital director of Sanctuary Gardens, who had both come over to meet the new owner of their respective places of employment. The CEO of Blackapps is called Hei Wan while the hospital director of Sanctuary Garden is called Yi Guang. They are currently entertaining Assistant Tai who is the representative of Miss Yue, their new superior. Ceo Hei spoke, "The documents are signed. Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Tai. I wonder if we will be able to meet Miss Yue?" "If you are willing to wait you might be able to meet her," said Little Taiyang as he was enjoying his cup of Americano. Hospital Director Yi Guang said, "Please don't mind this old man, Assistant Tai. I just would like to meet Young Miss Yue for the first time. This old man is willing to wait for her to arrive." "Then, as you wish, if you are willing to wait, it's your choice," said Little Taiyang as he saw the three men standing in front of the hotel reception. They bear a striking resemblance to Yue Xuexia's father, and it is obvious that they are blood related. Despite being referred to as Yue Xuexia's personal assistant, he is responsible for setting up appointments for her firms and facilitating her family's visitation. Little Taiyang suddenly prepared to leave, leaving CEO Hei Wan and Hospital Director Yi Guang dumbfounded. Assistant Little Taiyang said, "Excuse me for a moment. I've met a few important people. Relatives of Miss Yue." CEO Hei Wan and Hospital Director Yi Guang exchanged a startled glance when they saw each other for the first time; before, they had only known each other by name from magazines or television commercials. "Please let us accompany you, Assistant Tai," said the two. Fu Ruan recognized this friendly-looking middle-aged man in a gray suit and was staring at him in surprise. "B-Boss, what are you doing here?" asked Fu Ruan. He is quite in a high position and was able to meet this boss of his after being promoted as the team leader of his Oracle team. CEO Hei Wan didn't expect to see his subordinate in this place and was a bit startled to see Computer Engineer Fu in this hotel, especially during working hours. "Engineer Fu? Why are you here?" asked CEO Hei Wan. Fu Ruan could somewhat guess what his boss was thinking and immediately explained his side. "Boss, please don't look at me like that. I am not skipping work. I took half a day off due to a family issue." "Oh~ if that's the case, then it's fine. Your team's project is one of the most important projects for our company. I hope you don't fail me or I will fire you!" said CEO Hei Wan. CEO Hei Wan suddenly shut up when Assistant Tai looked at him expressionlessly. He wasn't as approachable as before as he heard him scolding his subordinate. "I would watch your words if I were you. If Miss Yue heard what you had, just the one who would be kicked out of the company wouldn't be this brother but instead you. Who are you to scold a relative of the owner of your company? You don't fear death," said Assistant Tai Yang. When CEO Hei Wan heard what Assistant Tai Yang had to say, his face went white. Fu Ruan and the others were astounded as well. Nobody had anticipated that the owner of the largest IT company in the nation also owned the Crowned Regent, a five-star hotel. While Yi Guang, the director of the Old Hospital, chuckles at the events taking place in front of him, he was happy to discover that the mysterious new owner of the sanctuary is, in fact, someone not so simple. Although he already had a sneaking suspicion that the new owner of the Sanctuary Gardens is not simple based on the fact that their hospital has three brand-new charter jets, knowing more is more convenient. Hospital Director Yi Guang spoke, "Hoh~ it seems that our new Sanctuary Owner is a young but outstanding young lady. Miss Yue seems to own more assets than I thought. The Island Hospital is hers, this Crowned Regent is also hers, and the largest IT Company is also under her name. Miss Yue is indeed exceptional~" CEO Hei Wan felt that by bending his head before Fu Ruan, he was considering him a relative of a strong ancestor such as Miss Yue Xuexia, rather than a simple subordinate. "Fu Ruan, please forgive this old man's rudeness. I was only worried about the completion of the company projects, but it was bad of me to belittle you. I hope this doesn't affect our relationship as coworkers," said CEO Hei Wan. The abrupt shift in Fu Ruan's attitude toward his infamously sarcastic boss left her stunned. If he was willing to bow down to him and treat him with civility, it was probably because he was Yue Xuexia's biological cousin and had a better relationship with Xue'er than the other cousin on her father's side. "Please raise your head. I do not mind at all. I will still do my best in completing the project, Boss," said Fu Ruan. CEO Hei Wan smiled and held Fu Ruan's hands. "No need to call me Boss. Big Brother Hei would be better." Fu Ruan was rendered helpless when he realized that the guy in front of him would not release his hand unless he called him big brother; so, he had to make a compromise and refer to his boss as big brother. "T-Then... I would be impolite and call you Brother Hei," said Fu Ruan. CEO Hei Wan let go of his hands and laughed. "That's better."
