"Greetings, Mrs Chu!”
"Miss Qiu, you're here. Why didn't you tell us? We should have gone out to welcome you."
The beautiful and intoxicating woman before them was none other than Mr Chu's wife, Qiu Mu-Cheng.
Li Er and the others quickly greeted her reverently when Qiu Mu-Cheng arrived.
The fate of how high a woman rises through the social ladder, often hinged on their husbands.
Qiu Mu-Cheng was the descendant of an unimportant family and an ordinary woman.
However, Qiu Mu-Cheng was anything but ordinary after Ye Fan rose to become the King of Jiangdong.
"Hmm? And Miss Xu too? Didn't you go back to Yanjing, Miss Xu? Why are you in town?”
After they came closer, they noticed an elegant and dignified lovely woman standing behind Qiu Mu-Cheng.
They were familiar with the woman since she was the beautiful CEO of Hongqi Group, the Goddess of Yunzhou, Xu Lei.
However, they had received no news about her ever since Xu Lei returned to her family.
So her sudden arrival came as a surprise to everyone.
"Enough. We can chat later. Since Mr Chu isn't around, why don't you and Miss Qiu take his seat?" suggested Li Er.
"Sure."
Xu Lei and Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded before taking their seats.
After everyone was seated and ready, Li Er started to speak, "Everyone, I know Mr Chu should be the one hosting this meeting, but he isn't around, and this is an urgent matter. With this in mind, I decided to just gather everyone to discuss things. I was the one who invited Miss Qiu and Miss Lei to join us. Since Mr Chu is the King of Jiangdong, it is very disrespectful to hold this meeting behind his back. Moreover, what we are about to do might affect Jiangdong's political situation in the future. Miss Qiu is Mr Chu's wife, so it makes sense for her to join us on his behalf. I'm sure you won't object, right?"
Lei San looked around as he asked.
Li Er and Chen Ao looked at each other, thinking what a wily old fox Lei San was. He was very meticulous about the meeting.
After all, if Lei San hadn't called Qiu Mu-Cheng along for this meeting and called for this meeting on his own, then when Mr Chu returned, he would think that Lei San was trying to overthrow him.
Since he invited Qiu Mu-Cheng to join them, then no one would have a hold over him. Also, he could take the opportunity to prove his loyalty to Ye Fan.
I agree.
"Mr Chu doesn't have any children yet, so Miss Qiu should take his spot since he isn't around."
Everyone nodded in agreement. No one objected to Qiu Mu-Cheng's participation.
"Okay. In that case, let's commence."
