Offer to the CEO

Anna Jones requested of the staff waiting outside Hou Yi's office "Please come and remove Supervisor An from the CEO's office.Assistant Wang was calling the police to come and arrest her for passing on company secrets to our competitors."

The security guards, not realising that Anna was Madam Hou, simply stood there wondering who this person was to give them directions, however one of the bodyguards who knew who she was, bowed slightly, and responded "Yes Madam Hou."

This prompted three guards to come in and remove Supervisor An to take her to the security office.As they were leaving the Security Guards were informed by the bodyguard who spoke "Do not say to anyone who that lady is until CEO Hou authorises it.That information is to be kept quiet, and protected.If you say anything it will mean your jobs."

As soon as Supervisor An was removed, Anna shut the door, and sat down at the desk with the documents to be dealt with together with Hou Yi.Once want was needed to be signed as signed, Anna went to the door, and handed them to Assistant Wang "Could you scan and send these as you did earlier today.Thank you."

Anna returned back into the office, shutting the door.Hou Yi, had in the interim gotten a cold drink from a small fridge handing it to Anna as they sat down.

"So what is going on?"

"Well, thank you for dealing with that woman."

"Once we knew about the call today, backtracking her actions and that other information you gave me, we found that she had been passing on information to Lu Corporation for about 12 months.She had to be dealt with, not left in place.Thank goodness for your sharpness to identify it."

"Not a problem.Getting rid of a spy for Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, feels good, but we need to get rid of them all."

"True."

Hou Yi paused, and then continued "Anna, what is going on for you in Australia?Be honest with me please."

Anna took a couple of deep breaths, and sat down on the couch.She motioned to Hou Yi to sit down, which he did.

"As I indicated in the chat I can deal with part of what Lu Jinhu was bragging about, in being able to take everything from me.I found out today that he, trough forgery obtained court orders.He though he was smart and had them sent to a particular address, but it was returned to the court.Apparently when it was returned, a clerk in the court recognised my name, and sent it to work."

"It was only because my assistant Jodie was wondering what it was that she opened it, and at my request emailed it to me, that I can prove what he did.I have spoke by email to another lawyers within the firm, and while I have to do a preliminary draft of my affidavit, he will finish it and the application.It has to be done by Tuesday, so I have to go back.Can you arrange for a Commercial flight for tomorrow night, as that should have me back Sunday Morning."

"Forget a commercial flight.I will arrange for the company plane to take us back.We cannot leave until after tomorrow night.I need to at least show my face at the formal wedding ceremony for Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin tomorrow."

"Do you want me to come?"

"And tip our hand?I do not think it is worth it.All I plan to do is be there for as short of time as I have to before leaving.Not going, sends the message to those within the societal group we fall in that I am bitter.That is something thatwe do not need that image to get out.Rather than coming home, I can simply meet you at the airport, and we leave directly from there."

"Yi, I better get home, as I have a lot to do, given I have to draft this damn affidavit to support the application to overturn these orders."

"Anna, rather than going, why not sit in the sitting room attached to the bedroom and work there until I finish with the meeting I have.I will arrange for some food to come up, as the meeting is likely to be a two or so hours.They you can go home with me.Does that work?"

"All I was going to do was go into the study to work, but that could work for me as well.Then I can literally fall into bed when I get home.Actually let me rephrase that, pack and then fall into bed."

"Anna, you do not need to pack, we have staff that will do that for us.We can simply go to bed.Just go get yourself settled and once the food arrives, I will bring it in."

With that, Hou Yi, went out to Assistant Wang's desk and retrieved Anna's handbag and laptop, and took them into the sitting room, where Anna settled into to commence her work.
