Chapter 86: Bow Of The Empress.
Hao Ren cursed as he sat inside his car, at this moment, Xiao Mei said, "Boss, why are you feeling so annoyed? You can handle it in the morning."
The young man sighed and said, "Xiao Mei, these people are really so annoying."
Xiao Mei replied, "Boss, what do you want to do?"
Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "What else can I do? Who asked this bunch of nerds to experiment and create a fucking sex doll? We are a serious company, such things cannot be made under the same banner."
He took a deep breath and continued speaking, "Did you lock them in?"
Xiao Mei replied, "Yes."
Hao Ren asked, "Did you delete the video from their social media and all the other traces?"
Xiao Mei replied mechanically, "Yes, it does not exist anymore."
A few minutes earlier, Xiao Mei informed him that a few people in the Thunder Technology office consumed alcohol while working, and they made a few changes to the codes in the House Bot prototype, turning it into a bot that was talking dirty.
Not only did they commit this shady task, they even recorded a video of this. Hao Ren was so pissed at this moment that he could not help but cuss the people. He was anxious about what went on in the Han Mansion, and now he had to deal with this shit first.
Thinking about the solution, he said, "Contact Heath, ask him how many guards he found."
Xiao Mei agreed and Hao Ren moved towards his office.
...
While Hao Ren was troubled by a shitting silly problem at work, his wife was moving about the market and after an hour, she entered a jewelry shop. The shop was not too crowded, and had an elegant vibe about itself. Han Lingshi was very beautiful and she was attended by a saleswoman as quickly as she entered the shop.
The girl bowed slightly and said, "Greetings Miss, welcome to Novelty Jade and Jewels. I am Jules Ivory, I will be your..."
Suddenly the sales lady stopped in the middle of her greeting. Han Lingshi frowned and asked, "Are you okay?"
Jules Ivory woke from her daze and realized her folly as she said, "The ring on your hand, I am the one who sold it. I was surprised by realizing the coincidence of you coming to the same shop as your boyfriend."
Han Lingshi raised her brow and raised her head to look at the white jade and diamond ring in her hand. She smiled and said, "Well, thank you."
Jules Ivory and the rest of the people who were paying attention to them were surprised, they not expect for Han Lingshi to be so beautiful and elegant. The attendant asked, "Ma'am, what can I help you with? Do you need to get the ring fitted?"
Han Lingshi shook her head and said, "I came to buy a ring for my husband. I thought about reciprocating the gesture."
Jules Ivory led her to the men jewelry section and showed her various rings. Han Lingshi thought about Hao Ren, she always found that this man had two sides to himself. One was the regal self, the tough businessman and the other was a caring and pampering softie who was soft to only her. She looked at the rings inside the display and asked, "Do you have any ring matching the one I have?"
Jules Ivory smiled bitterly and said, "I apologize ma'am, but the Eternal Silk you wear was made as a stand alone piece."
Han Lingshi was not surprised and asked, "Are there any stand alone rings that would be suitable for men?"
Jules Ivory nodded and pointed at a white jade finger band. This was a very simple and minimalistic looking ring. Han Lingshi saw something was carved on the surface of the ring. She nodded and said, "Can I see it?"
Jules carefully took out the ring from the showcase and handed it to Han Lingshi. She said, "The words on the ring says Sovereign."
Han Lingshi was surprised but then a smile appeared on her face as she mumbles, "The Empress adorned in eternal silk bows to good man and makes him a sovereign."
Jules heard the phrase and was surprised, but before she could understand what meant, Han Lingshi said, "Please pack it up."
Jules hurriedly nodded and packed the ring, this thing was half the price of what Hao Ren had bought, yet the fifty thousand of tip she got was a lot of money. The other employees of the store were looking at her enviously. However, Jules was feeling very happy, because with this much money, she could now leave this job behind and chase her dreams.
...
Hao Ren walked inside his company, all the senior staff members have been notified and they were all sitting in the conference room. The young man walked inside the room with a cold expression on his face. He sat down on the head chair and looked at the people. None of them could look him in the eye.
Hao Ren asked in a calm tone, "I don't think that the future of this company is going to be bright with you all here, right?"
The people were shocked, and Hao Ren continued, "I might not have offered you all the best conditions when you came on board, but the amount of freedom, and the benefits that I gave you in terms of profit share is outmatched by any company out there. Am I wrong?"
The higher-ups shook their heads, and Hao Ren asked, "Then can you all not take hold of the people working with you? If that video had gone viral, we would have been fucked. Do you understand that?"
Lynn Carter looked at the Director of Human Resources, who picked her queue and said, "President, we can dismiss these employees and make an example of them."
Hao Ren looked at the man with a pair of cold eyes that could swallow the latter whole. The director of human resources, was shocked by the pressure Hao Ren emitted. Hao Ren said, "Do you think that Thunder Technology is a typical company that would make an example of the people?"
The man could not help but shake his head. Hao Ren said, "Appoint a councilor for the employees and prevent them from doing such things again. If the problem can be solved with money, then give them some raises. If they want time for entertainment, give them vacation. I don't know what you will do, but get this situation sorted."
The people were breathing heavily, they had always seen Hao Ren as a young man with a sunny smile on his face, but today he was no different from a fire spewing demon from hell. The pressure from his body was so strong that even the person sitting on the farthest chair was sweating madly.
After a few minutes, Hao Ren took a deep breath and said, "I apologize for the outburst, but lately I have been stressed, and you all know very well why. The military inspection is coming up and if we manage to secure this deal, we will be placed on the map of the business world. Please, I beg your cooperation on this."
The people gulped and Markus Bourne led them to reassure Hao Ren that such a thing will not happen again. The meeting progressed, and suddenly, Hao Ren's phone rang. He frowned and looked at the caller ID.
He quickly paused the meeting and picked up the phone, as he asked, "Hi, Lingshi, where are you? Did you reach home?"
Han Lingshi spoke in a flustered voice, "Ren, I had an accident. I am safe but the car is totaled, can you come over?"
Hao Ren stood up and said, "Give me a location, I will be coming right away."
He looked at Klaus and said, "Bro, can you take over? I have to rush."
Klaus gave him a thumbs-up and Hao Ren dashed away.
...
Hao Ren unlocked his car, and said, "Xiao Mei, how is Lingshi, find her."
Xiao Mei replied, "Boss, I think it would be better for you to go there and find her yourself. The situation is not very good."
Hao Ren panicked even more, and then he drove through the traffic, like a man possessed. He was moving very quickly, and Xiao Mei was busy blocking the cameras. The location given by Han Lingshi was called the Royal Garden. This place was established by the Queen of the nation in golden ages.
Now the government kept it as a heritage site. Hao Ren parked the car on the side and picked up the phone as he dashed away. He looked around the place but he could not find Han Lingshi. He dialed her number and when the call connected, the young lady said, "Ren, I am inside the garden. My legs were hurting so I came inside to sit. I cannot feel them now."
Hao Ren shivered, he thought Han Lingshi was seriously hurt and then he dashed in quickly.
...
After a few minutes, he came to the core of the garden. The place was surrounded by the bushes of red roses. Hao Ren found Han Lingshi standing in the center of the inner garden. She was wearing a white shirt, with a blue jeans and white shoes. Her long hair were falling down over her shoulder, and under the dimming sunlight, her skin had a amber glow.
Hao Ren was stunned by her beauty. He walked over in a daze and the lady smiled sheepishly before she said, "I apologize for pranking you like this."
Hao Ren was still looking at her, when she took out a box and knelt down on one knee. She raised the box up and under the eyes of the tourists and many people, she asked, "Hao Ren, I have never lowered myself to anyone, but today, I kneel before you. The people call me an Empress, but today I acknowledge your sovereignty over my heart, soul and all.
Will you accept me to be by your side till the times eternal?"
Hao Ren did not hesitate, he nodded quickly and pulled her up. Han Lingshi did not struggle and let him embrace her. She looked at a young man on the side, and waved her hand. The young man nodded and the entire sky was lit up with mesmerizing fire crackers.
She broke the embrace, and asked with a soft smile, "May I put on the ring?"
Hao Ren nodded with crescent eyes and a sunny smile. The people were recording them and chanting, "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
The couple chuckled and gave each other a kiss filled with love.
