Chapter 189: Chapter 189

Ji Rui watched Ji Baby’s small figure enter the school gate. That little guy seemed to sense his daddy’s gaze, suddenly turned around, and flashed Ji Rui a bright smile. Then he placed his small hand on his lips and blew Ji Rui a kiss.

Ji Rui nodded slightly at him. The little guy, however, stood motionless in place. Ji Rui had no choice but to lower the car window and wave at him. Only then did the little guy, with a satisfied smile, turn around and skip towards the teaching building with his small backpack.

Ji Rui rolled up the car window and picked up a large stack of newspapers that were placed beside him.

"Xiao Li, the progress on the theme park has been a bit slow recently. Remind them that there’s only half a month left until the first phase is completed."

Ji Rui picked up the R City Daily on top, spread it over his lap, and instructed the driver in the front who was focused on driving while skimming through the newspaper rapidly.

Xiao Li reached out to press the pen-shaped recorder placed in front, "Okay."

After responding to Ji Rui, Xiao Li glanced at Ji Rui through the rearview mirror, hesitated a moment, and said nervously, "President, Old Madam Ji..."

Ji Rui interrupted Xiao Li’s words with a harsh tone without looking up. Content originally comes from novel~fire~net

Xiao Li timidly shifted his gaze away and focused on watching the road.

"Any new progress on the investigation?"

Ji Rui finished reading the daily newspaper, folded it aside, and picked up another evening newspaper.

Recently, the newspapers largely have similar content. Ji Rui glanced at them briefly, closed the newspaper he had just spread open, put it aside, and picked up another one.

"Mr. Huang has already expanded the investigation scope to the neighboring province, but there are no clues for now."

Initially, Ji Rui asked Mr. Huang, who was in charge of the investigation, to report the situation to him at regular intervals every day. But as days passed by, all Ji Rui heard from the other party were apologies and regrets. Listening to such words repeatedly, Ji Rui became annoyed.

In the end, he even felt the urge to follow the signal of the phone and strangle him.

Ji Rui thought that he, having weathered countless storms, had long been able to calmly accept any cruel reality. But each time he heard Mr. Huang apologetically give a negative answer through the phone, his heart felt not only disappointment but also as if it was thrown into a high-temperature furnace, tormented mercilessly.

"Let him conduct a nationwide investigation."

Ji Rui spoke with such dominance, meanwhile his hands already switched to another newspaper.

Xiao Li raised his eyelids and glanced at Ji Rui through the rearview mirror, his eyes somewhat shrinking. "President, Mr. Huang also mentioned that if a nationwide investigation were done, the costs..."

Ji Rui finally raised his eyelids, raised his eyebrows, "Is he worried I don’t have money?"

Xiao Li shrunk his head, "Of course not..."

Xiao Li had been Ji Rui’s driver for several years, and he had always been somewhat afraid of Ji Rui.

Previously, Ji Rui was just cold and harsh, but as long as you worked diligently and made few mistakes, he was not too hard to get along with. However, recently, especially after Le Tong resigned and disappeared, Ji Rui had become more unpredictable in mood.

Some words, let alone Mr. Huang dared not say to him, even Xiao Li had to carefully observe Ji Rui’s expression before daring to mention them.

Even if he spoke after carefully observing his expression, Xiao Li still felt that some words, no matter how they were conveyed, would anger President Ji.

"If not, then tell him to investigate! Tell that little guy named Huang, that if he doesn’t figure it out within three days, he’d better smash his own signboard!"

Xiao Li shrunk his head again and dared not make a sound. He was very grateful that he had recorded President Ji’s words completely and would play them back for Mr. Huang later to save himself from a difficult situation.

Xiao Li focused on driving and dared not provoke the furious President Ji anymore. There were originally some matters he needed to report but, seeing this, he dared not mention them again.

From behind came the rustling noise of Ji Rui flipping through the newspapers. Xiao Li could only secretly pray that President Ji wouldn’t see any bad news!

However, Xiao Li was evidently quite unlucky today with very low luck points because, just after praying, he heard President Ji behind him coldly command, "Stop the car!"

Xiao Li’s hand shook slightly but fortunately, having been with Ji Rui for many years, even though his heart was almost jumping out of his chest, his high driving reflexes were still intact. He glanced at the rearview mirror, signaled swiftly, and changed lanes within seconds, smoothly pulling over the car.

Before Xiao Li could ask anything, a large stack of newspapers was slammed down on his head.

"Explain, what is this about?"

Xiao Li closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and looked at the newspaper that had slipped onto the steering wheel.

Le Tong’s beautiful eyes were smiling at him!

Indeed, what was meant to come couldn’t be escaped!!

"President... Let me explain..."

Ji Rui punched the seat back of the driver’s seat, "Explain? How old is Ji Baby? Don’t tell me, a five-year-old child managed to get such an announcement on XXX Evening News headline!"

This pair of demon father and son are indeed not easy to mess with!

Xiao Li secretly rolled his eyes. President, you really shouldn’t underestimate, the little prince does have such ability!!

The driver, Xiao Li, was merely responsible for giving the XXX Evening News editor’s phone number to him, and the rest was contacted by Ji Baby himself.

As for how Ji Baby managed to get such a seeking announcement published in the headline of the nation’s top-selling evening newspaper, and in such a unique way, a small driver’s brain truly didn’t have enough intelligence to figure it out!

But such words seemingly couldn’t be used as an explanation to President Ji, because who would believe a five-year-old child can easily turn tasks impossible for ordinary adults into reality?

Even if that person is the father of the perpetrator, surely he wouldn’t believe it, right?!

Anyway, Xiao Li nearly fell from his seat when he saw that newspaper in the morning, and it’s normal for the President to have such a big reaction!

"The young master was persistent, so I just gave him the editor’s phone number. I didn’t expect that the young master actually has such capabilities..." Xiao Li confessed his wrongdoings with a hard head, hoping to receive leniency for admitting his faults.

Ji Rui was silent for a moment, then slowly curled his lips into a cold smile, "As expected of my son, Ji Rui..."

No wonder the little guy was smiling so brightly just now; it turns out there was more to it!!

[Happy Sunday, ladies! Started early today? Zhu Zi rarely has a day off, striving to finish today’s two Chapters before afternoon, then you ladies can go have fun without worrying about Ji Baby and Tongtong! President Ji sips coffee, glancing sideways: What about me? Zhu Zi waves grandly on behalf of thousands of beauties: Roll, you should squat in the corner and take abuse well!]
