Long Industries .
The President and CEO's office was inspired by strong, traditional Chinese aesthetics . Most of the furniture were made of wood with delicate and exquisite details carved on them . The colour schemes were mostly deep red, maroon and earth tones . Several traditional paintings and calligraphy hung on the walls .
"What did she ask for this time?" Long Tengfei asked his loyal assistant as he signed documents after documents .
Cai Guang picked up the signed documents and gave his boss another stack to sign while speaking at the same time .
"The Young Miss asked me to recommend a new assistant for her . I sent her a list of candidates . In the end she only chose one . I thought she was going to replace all three assistants that she fired, but she said that a single capable assistant is enough at the moment . She ended up hiring my distant nephew from the Filipino branch of the family . The brat always wanted to work and live here . He's well-educated and eager to work . He only lacks experience . He started working for her last week and even moved to live at her penthouse . I scolded him, but he told me that it was what Young Miss wants . "
"Let her do what she wants . For now, at least . " Long Tengfei sighed . "She was comatose for a year after all . What else?"
"The Young Miss is currently renovating and redecorating the entire penthouse . I was told that it's currently a bit chaotic in there, but she's still working hard on her physiotherapy and rehabilitation, never missing a single session . The Young Miss seems very determined to recover as soon as possible . Her medical team is very pleased with her progress . "
"Good . That's good . Is that all? Has she asked you to buy her anything?"
"No, President . "
Long Tengfei paused, a slight frown on his face . "That's odd . I was expecting for her to demand a massive shopping spree . Perhaps even to buy her a private island or something like that . "
Cai Guang cleared his throat . "Madam Wei called numerous times to tell you to buy the Young Miss a private plane or a yacht, maybe both, as a reward for surviving . "
"Reward for surviving?! What does that woman think of our daughter's accident? The f*cking Olympics?!" Long Tengfei closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, trying to calm his anger .
This mother and daughter always succeeded in giving him a headache .
"President, the Young Miss didn't mention that she wants any of these . It was only the Madam who asked, presumably on behalf of the Young Miss . " Cai Guang hesitated . "If I may be so bold…"
"Go on . Speak . "
"…I have spoken with the Young Miss both personally and on the phone a number of times since she woke up . I think the Young Miss has…changed . "
"That's normal . Most people change one way or another after being traumatized . "
Cai Guang nodded, although he still looked unconvinced . "It's just that I feel like I'm speaking to a completely different person . The President has not met with her yet since she woke up, so you may not know . She's now so calm, so serious, so mature . She's very business-like whenever she speaks to me . To be honest, it's scaring me a little . "
Long Tengfei leaned back on his seat and chuckled softly . "What's there to be scared about? Isn't that good? Maybe she had an epiphany after what she experienced . I'll feel more at ease if she has really matured and grew sensible . I just hope that this isn't something temporary and she ends up reverting to being another version of her mother . I don't really have high expectations for this daughter . The family wants to disown her, but how could I allow that? She might be a big disappointment, but she's still my daughter . She has the blood of the Longs flowing in her veins . Saying all of these, there's only so much I can do for her . " He sighed . "She's not my only child . I have to prioritize the whole family's interests before anything or anyone else . This is my duty as the head of the family . "
"Understood . " Cai Guang hesitated, before finally gathering the courage to ask, "Is the President planning to see the Young Miss?"
A minute or so passed before Long Tengfei answered with a cold voice . "No . If she really wants to see me, she can come anytime . Is that all?"
Cai Guang nodded and bowed .
Long Tengfei resumed signing documents .
Both were quiet, focused on their work .
