The elevator went straight to the president’s office, and secretary Liu pushed open the door, “Mr. Yan,
this is Mr. Ye’ s office. Henry hasn’t told me about this, so your office has not yet…”
“It’s fine. This one is good.” Kevin felt stressful when he walked in, for the solemn and strict style of the
room was incompatible with his casualness.
“Secretary Liu, tell everyone to attend the meet at 9:30,” Kevin ordered.
“Yes.”
The entire Yehuang Group was gossiping, never expecting that after just one year, the president had
been changed, by a playboy. People began to speculate.
“What do you think happened to our Mr. Ye? Is it because he doesn’t want to face us because of the
rumor?”
“You think too much. That’s Mr. Ye! Why would he ever mind this kind of thing?”
“If he didn’t mind, why didn’t he come on the first day of the New Year?”
“What’s the rush? Isn’t the meeting at 9:30? Maybe this is what they are going to talk about.”
When they were discussing about this, only Mr. Chen and Mr. Xu looked gloomy. Because only they
knew that Mr. Ye, whom everyone respected and worshipped, might never come back.
“Well, things have come to this and we can do nothing but our work.” Mr. Xu patted his partner’s
shoulder, with a depressed tone.
Mr. Chen smiled bitterly and shrugged, “What else can we do? But I think Kevin is a smart guy, so he
won’t mess up. Let’s go, it’s time for the meeting. We still need to help him.”
Mr. Xu put his arm around his shoulder and sighed, “I only hope that Mr. Ye will come back soon. I only
trust and respect him.”
“Me too.”
Yehuang’ s conference hall was able to accommodate a thousand people at the same time, and before
9:30 pm, everyone was in place, chattering about the new president.
At 9:30, Secretary Liu pushed open the door and Kevin entered with ease. The room was silent and
everyone fixed eyes on Kevin.
Kevin had seen a lot since he was a child, so he was able to handle this.
He sat down on the chair belonged to him. His warm eyes were with some seriousness.
The meeting was chaired by Mr. Chen, who introduced briefly, “Hello, everyone, this is our new Vice
President, Kevin Ye.”
He then received a round of applause.
Kevin turned on the microphone in front of him, and after a quick glance around the room, he said with
steady breath, “Happy New Year, everyone. My name is Kevin Ye. Many of you may have already
gotten some information about me from the Internet. Today is the first day of work, so I’d like to explain
a few things first.”
The meeting room was as silent, and everyone looked at him with curiosity or nervousness.
“First of all, my brother, the pioneer of Yehuang, as I clarified in the news last time, he is currently in
Australia with my grandpa, because our grandpa is not in a good condition. He can’t come back for a
while, so I will be in charge for the time being. Please don’t speculate too much.”
“Secondly, I don’t know Yehuang very well yet, so if there is anything I don’t understand, please give
me some advice.”
“Finally, Yehuang already has its own mode of operation, and it’s very successful, so I’m not going to
make changes to it. You can rest assured about that,” at this point, he paused, and his tone became
stern, “However, I also don’t want to see anyone, because of Mr. Ye’ s absence, to slack in their work.
Once I find out, no mercy.”
After he finished the three points, he received another round of applause. As a matter of fact, for the
low-level employees, what they were most afraid of was the new boss being too strict, or even laying
off. But from his words, it seemed not to happen.
Mr. Chen began to admire this young man. He thought he would have stage fright, but he didn’t expect
him to be so calm and steady and he even could control the whole scene.
Mr. Xu, however, as usual, was sullen, “Just now, Mr. Yan said very clearly and I hope everyone can do
their best in the new year, so as to accomplish our goals of this year. Create new wonders for
Yehuang.”
After a simple meeting, Kevin left the conference room and realized that his palms were sweaty.
Of course he was nervous. But he could know how to hide it.
Today, Kevin’s job was similar to Xiran’ s, which was to visit their partners, sending their good wishes to
let everyone get acquainted with the new leader.
He was led by Mr. Chen and Mr. Xu, accompanied by Secretary Liu and Kerry’s former assistant.
Kevin didn’t want to familiarize himself with the branch so quickly. He always thought that his brother
would come back, but Mr. Xu and Mr. Chen didn’t agree, because their principle was to handle things
with the worst possible outcome.
Moreover, in their minds, even if Kerry came back, his brother would still be in the management of the
company, so they might let him know about it in advance.
In the morning, Kevin’s smile stiffened in the end and his right arm was sore. Besides, what he talked
about was cliché, boring.
Mr. Chen noticed that his voice was a little hoarse, so he asked his assistant to get him a bottle of
water, “Are you alright?”
Kevin drank some water to moisten his throat, “Not bad. I just didn’t expect that there would be so
much for me to do. I thought it’s just inspection.”
Mr. Chen smiled and said, “It’s not that much. Considering that it’s your first day, we have canceled a
few visits to some small companies. You’ll meet them later if you have a chance.”
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, it’s what we should do. Let’s go, the next factory general manager is waiting.”
Kevin sighed inside and followed. He began to admire his brother, for he needed to be mentally and
physically strong.
When Kevin was shaking hands with countless people and smiling, Venus also arrived at the fishing
village.
They split up into several groups to search the village, which was bustling with children playing in the
streets because it was Chinese New Year.
Henry was worried about Venus’ foot injury and suggested that she stay in the car, but Venus didn’t
agree. How could she stay in the car?
“Hello, can I ask you about someone?” Venus stopped a middle-aged man holding a child.
The middle-aged man was enthusiastic, “Sure.”
“I wanted to ask if anyone in your village had saved a man at the beach before the New Year? Tall and
blue-eyed.” Venus described simply.
The middle-aged man shook his head without thinking, “No, I’m afraid no one.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. Once the winter comes, we will stop fishing. This is a rule we follow for years.”
“Oh, thank you.” Venus didn’t look disappointed, and this answer seemed to be what she had expected.
Henry saw that she was walking with some difficulty and wanted to give her a hand, but due to various
factors, he could only watch.
When the phone suddenly rang, Henry took it out and got nervous all of a sudden.
It was from Public Security Bureau calling.
“Hello, Chief Wei.”
“Henry, we just caught a few foreign criminals trespassing, and also found some guns, which may be
related to the thing you mentioned.”
Henry was delighted, “Really? Great.”
“And thanks for your information, otherwise I don’t know what a mess this would have caused.”
“This is what I’m supposed to do. Should I go over there now?” Henry excitedly asked.
“No, we’ll do the trial here first. You can come over tomorrow.”
“Yes, yes, thank you Chief Wei.”
Hanging up the phone, Henry said to Venus with expectation, “There’s news from the Public Security
Bureau. They’ve caught some foreign criminals. And I don’t know whether they have some relations
with Gavin. He asked us to come over tomorrow.”
Venus was surprised, and was filled with energy, “Finally, good news. I hope this is a good start.”
“It will be.” Henry reassured her.
Because of this good news, Venus was able to walk quickly, and searched several villages that day, but
without much success.
As the sun set, they set out on their way back.
This was just a start. Venus didn’t know when she would give up. Maybe this was a test from God.
When she got home, Pingan jumped on her, but Venus was unsteady on her feet and was almost
knocked down by him. But someone behind her supported her.
When she turned around, it was Kevin.
“Watch out.” Kevin helped her to stand firm, then picked up Pingan, tapping his nose and said, “Mom’s
foot hasn’t recovered yet. Don’t rush over like this. She will fall down. Got it?”
Pingan nodded, “Yeah, I won’t.”
Venus walked slowly toward the living room and asks Kevin, “How was your day?”
“I’m so tired.” Kevin sighed, “I used to think that my brother was always easy, but today I know that it’s
too hard. I shake hands for a whole day and my arm is so sore. What about you?”
Venus shook her head, “But there’s news from the police…”
Heating this, Kevin asked, “Do you want me to go with you tomorrow?”
“No, you haven’t seen him,” said Venus, whose eyes fell on Pingan, “but I can take him with me.”
“Huh? Pingan?” Kevin was very surprised.
“Yes, Pingan grew up with Gavin, and is most familiar with his eyes, so if he is really caught, maybe
Pingan will be able to recognize him.”
When Pingan heard Gavin’s name, a face came to him and he hesitantly called out “Dudu”.
Venus was startled and then realized who he was calling out.“Yes, it’s Dudu. Do you remember him?”
Pingan frowned in thought, then nodded, “Yes.”
“Mommy will take you to play a game tomorrow and see if you can recognize Dudu.”
Pingan smiled, “Okay.”
Kevin didn’t understand and whispered to Venus, “Who is Dudu?”
Venus’s eyes were cold and clear, “That’s Gavin.”
So that it was.
The next morning, Venus dressed Pingan with enough clothes to make sure he wouldn’t catch a cold
and came to the police station with Henry.
When Chief Wei saw Venus, he just nodded in greeting, but inside he was wondering why Kerry’s wife
and child would come.
But when he saw Pingan, he was stunned for a few seconds. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he
wouldn’t have believed that there was someone in the world with pupils in different colors.
