Offer to the CEO

Wednesday, continued …

Two minutes later a message alert sounded on Hou Yi's phone, and they opened the message.

Immediately as Anna saw the photo, she burst out laughing, and said "That is the best he has.Damn, it was the night of my 18th Birthday at the University College we were at, and the some of the girls decided that they had to throw a party, using the theme Playboy Bunnies.He is kidding if that is blackmail worthy."

"The worst thing that happened there was Lu Jinhu got so drunk, he started to grope every girl at the party, and damaged a few costumes including mine.He was about to get thrown out of the university for what he did, and my dumb luck escaped a court conviction, as none of us lied about how drunk he had gotten.Daddy paid huge money to keep him in university, if I remember it right."

Then they turned to the video footage, and again it was obvious to Anna "Graduation dinner for my final year at the college.OMG, I can remember that, a college tradition for those graduating, was traditionally a nudie run, but about 15 years ago it was toned down to a speedo for the guys and a bikini for the girls, starting at the college entrance, through the various buildings gathering everyone behind them, through to the dining hall, where we will have, before we go and change into our proper clothes, individually run through the dining hall and past the window.That is not blackmail worthy."

"Let me deal with him.I have arranged for a car to take you home and booked dinner for the girls tonight.Go home, rest and have a fun night out.Promise me that."

"Yi, I want to stay to deal with this."

"Honey, you have told me that these were from university, Lu Jinhu either had to give them to his father or tell him want to look for.Now go, and I want your promise."

Anna leaned over, and gave Hou Yi a kiss, which he quickly deepened before pulling back, "Now your promise."

"I promise Yi."

With that promise, Hou Yi, helped Anna off the couch and onto her crutches and escorted her to the door, where he placed her into the care of the bodyguards, indicated "Escort my wife back to the Ancestral Home."

With that he gave her another brief kiss in the lips, and went back into his office with Assistant Wang following him inside with a folder, when his phone started ringing.It was CEO Lu, so he immediately started to record the call indicating to Assistant Wang to be quiet.

"Well what did you think about what I sent you and the deal."

"CEO Lu, that looks like university high jinks.If I had anything to say, I would suspect my wife was in her late teens or early 20s when it was taken.Easily explainable away, and if it was meant to convince me to give into your demands, a pretty poor effort."

"I figured that I would send you something tame, to start with.Well I will send you a photo my son took three months ago and gave me when I asked him a couple of weeks ago.That should be enough.You will have ten minutes more to think about it, but you have now added another one hundred million US to the compensation I told you you have to pay, and now your wife must spend 20 years in jail."

"Get my meaning, the more you string me along, the more that I will add to what you must pay.You had no damn right to do what you did to my son and daughter-in-law, now the f*ck did you have the right to try and destroy my business."

"CEO Lu that façade of being the even tempered but ruthless businessman that you tell everyone you are has slipped.You do not have the guts to try this to my face, so you hide behind a phone, so you can say that this never happened."

"So, I can totally deny it, and if anyone tries and claim that my phone rang yours all I have to do is say I left my phone at a meeting this morning and god knows who called you.Now, are you going to agree or am I supplying more and upping the price and punishment for denying me what should be mine."
