Offer to the CEO

Friday, continued …

Anna moved and quickly followed Hou Yi, who was entering Uncle Feng's office.  As she entered, she noticed they had disturbed a meeting that was occurring, but no one seemed concerned, as Uncle Feng had moved quickly to the pram and carefully lifted Jang out for everyone to see him.  Hou Yi, was standing there with a happy, prideful look on his face as Jang was being observed by the staff.

Before either of them could say anything Uncle Feng said "Why did you not let me know you were coming?"

Anna quickly responded "We did promise we would come and see you when Jang was released from hospital, and that was a surprise to us today.  But I do not think anyone here is too concerned about the interruption to your meeting."

That received nods of agreement from those in the room, who spent a few minutes fussing over Jang, while Hou Yi quietly pulled Uncle Feng to one side.  Anna tuned out from the conversation while she simply stood there watching those in the office fuss.  Anna, eventually turned and Hou Yi was no where to be seen, and Uncle Feng quietly said, "He is in his office signing the documents he needs to deal with."

Nodding Anna, turned and carefully removed Jang from the arms of the executives and returned him to his pram, before heading to Hou Yi's office.  As Anna arrived, Jang loudly indicated that he was hungry again, and seeing that Hou Yi was on a telephone call she moved into the suite attached to his office, and sat down to feed Jang, before tidying him and herself up.  As she placed in back into his pram, he was almost asleep, for which Anna was grateful.

Leaving Jang in the suite she headed back to Hou Yi's office, and he was ending a telephone call.  On seeing Anna, he said "There is still a lot to do.  Take Jang home and once I am done I will come myself."

"Yi, you are meant to be on paternity leave.  The company will not fail if you are not in the office.  Trust the senior Executives and Uncle Feng for a couple of weeks."

"There are only things that I can deal with."

Anna, feeling somewhat exasperated with Hou Yi in an angry but quiet voice so not to disturb Jang, said "Yi, do not make me …"

Before she finished Uncle Feng who had entered the room said "Call your mother, aunt or grandmother.  Anna have you not learnt yet that that threat does not work with him when it comes to business." Anna could hear the laughing undertone in his voice, and he continued "The threat that works with business is that his father and grandfather will step back into the company.  Despite all the control they have given you Yi, they control the majority of the company's shares.  They told me to tell you, once little Jang was released from the hospital if you did not take at least three weeks paternity leave they would act to force you to take leave."

"Do not threaten me, Uncle Feng."

"Yi it is not a threat.  You and Anna have been through so much in the last week.  You need the time together.  We both know how your father and grandfather will use the company to control you, but their last tactic resulted in you and Anna marrying, and that you do not regret."

"True…"

"You need to have little Jang settled, and deal with the loss of little Yi, or is it Aaron as Anna seems to have called him?"

"Uncle Feng, Aaron was the English name I gave him as of its meaning," responded Anna.

"Go.  You will regret it if you do not."

"But…"

"Yi, go.  You are on three weeks paternity leave.  If there is something that I cannot deal with I will let you know.  You need to trust me and the senior executives that we will do the right thing for the company."

"But those meeting next week."

"Yi stop being stupid. You encourage everyone else to take paternity leave when their children are born. Set an example for everyone in the company. "

Seeing the determination on Uncle Feng's face, Hou Yi decided he would not argue today, but come in on Monday. Hou YI helped Anna stand up and moved over taking the pram and carefully wheeling it out into his office. He was greeted by Assistant Wang, who handed Anna a folder before saying "Enjoy your leave boss. I will see you in just over three weeks."

As they left, Hou Yi pushing Jang, he knew by the looks of the senior executives they would do everything to prevent him from coming back before the end of his paternity leave. Damn it he was the CEO and he needed to be there, but he knew that Uncle Feng would already have his whole family on side.
