BXBX NOVEL Chapter 101 - 101: Cooperation
“Is this at a discounted price?” Pei Xin asked Lu Huai.
Lu Huai nodded. “They worked hard to get where they are. They relied on the resources provided by the company before they became popular. They should help the company drive the new department. It’s what needs to be done.”
Pei Xin smiled when she saw this.
Celebrities earned more money than she did, so it was not her place to feel sorry for them.
The two of them chatted about the profit margin of third-party products before ending the meeting.
Lu Huai proposed to treat Pei Xin to a meal, but this time, Pei Xin directly rejected him.
“I’m sorry, CEO Lu. I need to go home to my child. Let’s meet again when we both have the time.”
Seeing this, Lu Huai couldn’t stop her from leaving.
Pei Xin took a taxi home.
When she returned home, she realized that the house was empty. She couldn’t find Ling Jin or Ling Lin.
Pei Xin felt her heart start racing.
She quickly called Ling Jin.
“Where are you guys?” Pei Xin asked anxiously.
Ling Jin’s voice on the other end of the phone sounded very anxious. “Uhh… He went home with his classmate’s parents after school today. He hasn’t come back since.”
Pei Xin was so nervous that her body started trembling.
Her mind was in a mess.
She tried her best to keep herself sane.
“Where are you? Did you call the police? Who took Ling Lin away?” Pei Xin asked.
“I bought Ling Lin a watch and a phone. He sent me a voice message saying that he went to Chen Chen’s house to play.
“I told him to send me a voice message when he was there, and he did. After another hour, he said that Chen Chen’s father drove him home.
“So I waited at the entrance, but no one has reached. So, 1 called Ling Lin, but he didn’t pick up.
“I realized that something might have happened to Ling Lin, so I rushed out to look for him. I also called Annie, and she’s been looking for him too.”
Pei Xin listened to Ling Jin’s story and quickly grasped the key information.
“Do you have Chen Chen’s parents’ phone numbers? Let’s call them and ask about the situation,” she asked Ling Jin.
“I don’t have their phone number, that’s why I’m worried,” said Ling Jin guiltily.
Pei Xin took a deep breath to calm herself down. She said, “It’s okay. Keep looking around. I’ll call his teacher right away. Ling Lin’s teacher must have Chen Chen’s parents’ phone numbers. Don’t worry. As long as we can contact Chen Chen’s parents, this matter will definitely be resolved.”
After she finished speaking, Pei Xin hung up the call with Ling Jin and called Ling Lin’s teacher.
However, the other party did not pick up the phone.
Pei Xin kept calling and sending text messages, but the other party did not respond.
Pei Xin’s original hope of finding her son was slowly being shattered. She felt as if all the strength in her body had been sucked dry.
She could not live without Ling Lin. This was her last hope of survival.
Pei Xin helplessly held her phone and scrolled through the list of contacts. In the end, she stopped scrolling when she saw Lu Huai’s name.
Pei Xin directly pressed the dial button.
When he picked up the call, Pei Xin felt that the dwindling hope had been rekindled. She tried her best to keep her voice steady. “CEO Lu, I’m in trouble. My son is missing and I can’t contact his teacher. Can you help me?”
As she spoke, Pei Xin’s tone choked up.
Lu Huai’s heart tightened when he heard her wavering voice.
“Where are you now? I’ll send someone to look for you immediately,” he replied anxiously.
Pei Xin reported her location, and Lu Huai quickly brought his men over.
His assistant, Liu Yan, was getting to work and making calls.
He even put it on speaker.
The call went through very quickly, and Liu Yan passed the phone to Lu Huai.
A middle-aged man’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “CEO Lu, may I know the purpose of this call? Are you planning to build a building for our school?”
Lu Huai said coldly, “Why do you not have stricter regulations for your teachers? A student, Ling Lin, has gone missing. Ling Lin’s mother has called his form teacher more than ten times and sent countless messages. Yet, that teacher did not pick up the call nor reply when their phone was clearly on..”
