OPEN YOUR MASK, PRINCESS!
Episode 152 STRIKES AGREEMENT WITH LI SAN
The more Xiao Jun rejected his every concern, the more confused Li San was to make sense for Xiao Jun to receive his attention. “What do you want?” for the first time Li San offered his son a wish.
Xiao Jun was even gobsmacked for a moment hearing Li San's kindness which began to soften his heart. “I want to speak four eyes with dad.”
Adviser He who knew acted immediately resigned before Li San officially ordered. There was only Xiao Jun and his father facing each other.
“What do you want to talk about?” li San asked calmly.
Xiao Jun bowed for a moment as a formality asking for permission to talk, “I want to negotiate a deal with dad. My decision remains the same and I look forward to father's answer.”
Li San was speechless, stubborn and Xiao Jun's principle was indeed beyond doubt. “You want me to approve everything? But your request is too much while my request is only one. I could've granted it all on some terms. Are you up to it?”
“Please father clarify the terms.” Said Xiao Jun with his head lowered.
Li San turned around and in a loud voice announced the conditions he had applied for. “I'm willing to forgive your mother, but can't completely free her. He will still serve Liang Jia and is not allowed to be in contact with you.”
Xiao Jun lowered his head, this condition was still reasonable and acceptable to him. “I understand, dad.”
“The second time, I'll cancel Lau's death sentence but he can't go back to being your bodyguard. He will be demoted the lowest rank and guard the outer gate.” Li San exclaimed firmly, mentioning Lau's name still left a little anger just that he could temper it.
Xiao Jun raised his head, the second condition sounded heavy he was running. “I'm sorry, dad. I'm used to Lau's bodyguards, just like the father who trusts He's advisors. Please return Lau's position as my bodyguard, I am willing to give my life assurance that he will not repeat the mistake
same.” Xiao Jun knelt down pleading for Li San's generosity again.
Li San turned to Xiao Jun who was prostrating a few times to him, he tried to not be moved and turned away unwillingly to look at him. “You still want to bid? I hate giving repeated opportunities to useless people.”
“He's useful dad, he's very smart and strong. I'm counting on him to help me grow our business. I see that the results have not been up to two years the company has been recognized internationally.” Xiao Jun continued to try to convince Li San.
Li San smiled sinisterly as he looked at Xiao Jun, “You think only he can take care of business? Upon your return, the business has been held by a professional team and everything is going smoothly even without you. That means, that reason was not enough to convince the significance of a Lau in my eyes.”
Xiao Jun returned Li San's smile no less cynical, “Is it sure that my father's company remains good in the hands of people who have only appeared for a few days? Even the economic observer alone needs time to decide a company is worth mentioning going forward or receding, father already so believes they deserve to replace us. They just run the existing ones, or they might mess things up if left there longer.”
Reasonable analysis, Li San admitted Xiao Jun's foresight took the opportunity to refute his argument. “If I let you go back unattended from my confidant, you will just repeat the old story and you keep in touch with the girl.”
“Then, please father send one father's right hand to watch over us neutrally.” Xiao Jun so quickly made a suggestion without considering the impact of the remark.
absolute condition of me. Take Grace with you, give her a position in the company and take care of her. You should be together all the time. You willing?”
Xiao Jun almost shouted at Li San if he failed to control himself, bringing a woman whose shape he apparently did not know even his ability to work was unclear, want to be taken where the fate of the company in the hands of people who are less competent. “Dad, the company is not a place to play, what to mix
personal and work affairs? We do not know his ability, mna may just give him a position. I object to this proposal, please father replace with someone else who is reliable in the field of business.”
“Xiao Jun, I told you this was an absolute decision. Whether you accept it or not. If refusing is no problem, you can return to the company here with Grace as well.” Li San said with his new strategy, Xiao Jun definitely had no reason to refuse, wherever he was Grace would still be sent to accompany him.
It took quite a long time of thought for Xiao Jun, however he sought a fair deal still he felt positioned the most disadvantaged. Li San remained the victor with his absolute power. Xiao Jun was self-conscious that staying silent for too long was just a waste of time, the two choices he was thinking about. Being here allowed him to keep Xin Er hidden, but he would lose his chance with Weini. Returning to Jakarta with a woman is not easy, Weini may misunderstand or even stay away from her. Xiao Jun doesn't guarantee that Grace will be nice if she knows who Weini is.
“Good, dad. I will return to Jakarta with Lau and the woman.” Xiao Jun said seriously. He had already thought about the risks, hated Weini, ignored Weini or even decided. At least he is still allowed to be in the city with the girl of his love, while waiting for the opportunity to repair the rift is much better than losing the opportunity to meet again.
Sorry mom, I can't stand by you here yet. Mother remained safe with Liang Jia's mother, temporarily until I found the next way. Said Xiao Jun inwardly, an apology that could not be spoken to Xin Er, only he could mutter through a conscience.
Li San looked astonished at Xiao Jun over the decision taken. Smiling, he realized the discussion without involving anger felt lighter and more calming. Xiao Jun was even easier to negotiate with this kind of treatment than his previous experience of almost taking a toll.
“I hold your word, young man.” Said Li San with a smile.
“Thank you dad, and please return my phone.” Xiao Jun reminded back of his last request.
Li San chuckled, he did not expect the conversation with his son to have come to that one deal. He was reluctant to make it too easy to grant, “That depends on your attitude to Grace later. I'll give it back if you can make a good first impression on her. Prepare yourself now, they're in
travel here.”
Xiao Jun lowered his head again and again, Li San had never made things simpler. Now Li San was about to test Xiao Jun's acting ability? Is it possible that Xiao Jun who was closed to the unknown person could give a good impression at the beginning of the introduction?
“Good dad.” Xiao Jun replied weakly.
Li San smiled very satisfied, “And accompany me to eat out before they arrive.”
