Offer to the CEO

Thursday, continued...

As Anna and Amanda finished their calls, they turned to each other and almost together said "That was my husband…" before they started laughing.

A couple of minutes later Jodie walked back in, and said "Boss, the big boss called and said that he needed you two up in his office and for you not to delay."

"Thank you, Jodie," responded Anna."I have an amount of legal work for you to do for my, that needs to go onto the ANX systems.I have loaded it into the usual dictation programs, and you know the usual rules that apply …"

"If it does not make sense change it and alert you to it.Boss I know, you do not need to tell me.By the way how am I to get into those systems?"

"See the opened laptop box over there, that it your new laptop.The ANX systems are installed on it, and your pass words have not changed.ANX know that you are here working personally for me, not them, but they have not cut off your access to the systems, so all their usual rules apply.When you finish it alert me via email so I can check, and within the ANX systems check that there is nothing else that I need to do."

"Once you finish the ANX work, the only rule is that your laptop has to be secured in the safe in your desk draw, and the code is in the laptop bag.Then go around an introduce yourself to the people you can see.Once you are settled with that, we will get you into the Hou Enterprises systems on your desktop, and have you coordinating with Yi's assistant to coordinate my social schedule and the charitable work."

"Not a problem."

Jodie left and headed to her desk, and when Anna and Amanda left to head to Yi's office she locked the door behind her.

On their arrival Assistant Wang greeted them saying "Madam Hou and Madam Yao.CEO Hou is on an urgent call.He asked could you head to the board room, as there are some other people coming to the meeting.I will direct them there when they arrive.Do you need a drink or anything else?"

Anna and Amanda shook there head and turned around to head back past the elevator bank and to the board room.As they reached the elevators two doors opened.From one out stepped Yao Tan, King, Lion and Snake and from the other out came Lizard, Shark, Croc and Tiger.Yao Tan, went and immediately pulled Amanda into his arms for a kiss.

Anna let it go on for a few seconds and decided to play the Lady Boss of Hou Enterprises "CEO Yao, this is a business establishment and stop harassing the staff."

With that a round of laughter came out from everyone.Anna noticed out of the corner of her eye Assistant Wang was headed towards everyone and in a hurried voice said "CEO Yao, CEO Na, gentlemen.CEO Hou is held up with an urgent telephone call, and he has suggested that this meeting will be more comfortable in the boardroom.CEO Yao do you need me to show you all the way?"

"Assistant Wang you forget how often I am here for board meetings.If I did not know the way it would be a problem."

Assistant Wang turned around and headed back to his office and everyone headed to the boardroom, taking a seat waiting for Hou Yi to join there.King turned to Yao Tan "Bug, what is going on?You know we all hate coming to meeting here in the business area …"

"King I know it.You always prefer using the original premises for the intimidation meetings, but sometimes you need to bend.At the moment neither Yi or myself have any real reason to spend any significant time there, and it would be too suspicions, but …"

Croc jumped in "A business meeting here at Hou Enterprises can be sold as a development project."

"Whose side are you on Croc?"

"Whoever it going to win the argument."

Before anyone could reply the door opened, and in came Hou Yi shutting the door behind him and locking it.He leaned over and gave Anna a kiss, to the sound of whistles from some in the room.As Hou Yi pulled away, Yao Tan decided he needed some revenge "What did you just tell me about this being a work place…"

"Stuff if Tan we own the company so we can do what we like," Anna retorted

Before any distraction could occur, King loudly said "Why are we all here?"
