As soon as my feet touched the ground, I ran towards Steve. Seeing this, Uncle Steve bent down and held me in his arms.
Steve checked to see if I was hurt. Seeing how worried he was, I smiled sweetly and said, “Uncle, don’t worry. I’m fine.”
After I said this, I could clearly feel Steve’s body relax at this moment and he let out a deep breath.
What I didn’t know was that just ten minutes ago, Steve’s nervousness was through the roof. Steve’s secretary had rushed into the meeting room and told Steve that I seemed to be in some trouble. She asked Steve to quickly go to the VIP lounge where I was.
Steve, who was discussing a business proposal, did not hesitate at all. He just said, “Excuse me, please wait a moment.” Then, he strode away. To save time, he even asked the secretary to take the President’s private elevator downstairs with him.
Steve stood up and held my small body firmly with his broad and strong arm. I found that many employees of the company had followed Steve, and the one closest to him was his secretary.
When the secretary saw that I was fine, she also heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that when she came back just now, she saw that I was being chased by three grown men. However, as her ranking was not as high as the investment manager, and she was afraid that she would not be able to stop them, she immediately went upstairs and called Steve.
The secretary smiled apologetically at me. Then, she passed the milk that she had prepared in her hand to me. I took the milk and found that it was still warm. I revealed a cute smile and politely said, “Thank you.”
Steve stood in his original position with dignity. His sharp eyes swept across the three people standing in the VIP lounge one by one. Seeing this, one would immediately know how powerful Steve was. He asked in an overbearing and oppressive manner, “What’s going on? Who are these two people? I think I heard something about wanting to beat up someone in my company just now!”
The manager was so scared that he didn’t dare to look at Steve’s sharp eyes. He raised his head and secretly looked at me, who was quietly drinking milk in Steve’s arms. He couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. But since the President had asked… as a subordinate, he couldn’t not answer.
The manager had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “President, these two are important clients who came to sign an investment contract today. When the little miss was playing here, she accidentally poured coffee on the contract document.”
“Uncle, it’s not like that at all.” I swallowed the mellow milk in my mouth and said in a childish voice, “The company that he wants to sign the contract with is fake and specializes in deceiving people. When I told him that I wouldn’t let him sign the contract, he didn’t listen at all. He even said that I was a child who didn’t know anything and chased me out.”
I hugged the milk with one hand and counted in front of him with the other hand, as I counted, I said, “Uncle, I see that there are many zeros behind the numbers in this contract. My small hands can’t even count them. With such a large amount of money, how could I bear to let your money be swindled away by the bad guys? That’s why I poured the coffee onto the documents.”
Steve lowered his head and saw that I was counting seriously with my soft and fleshy little hands. He couldn’t help but reveal a doting smile.
“President, it’s not like that. This company is a proper company. I’ve checked the other party’s documents. Moreover, the little girl is still so young. How could she possibly understand?”
Steve raised his head and glared at the investment manager angrily. He didn’t have the gentleness and patience that he had when he looked at me. The investment manager immediately shut his mouth in fear and didn’t dare to say anything else.
Steve didn’t listen to the investment manager’s long-winded words. He directly carried me to the table and carefully looked at the information on the documents. The two clients who hadn’t spoken since Steve’s arrival looked at the current situation and could not hide the panic on their faces..
