"Bye Miss Liu, my mom is here . We'll talk later . "

"Bye Chairman Duan . "

The two exchanged goodbyes as the video chat came to an end .

"Yes Secretary Ou, you can send my mother in . "

The secretary had knocked on his door and had to let herself in, only to see he was on a video chat with someone she couldn't recognize . Not surprising, since the company employed so many people from different departments .

"Okay, Chairman Duan . "

The woman bowed as she left to open the door to let the mother of the Chairman of Cinopec Group into the office .

"Good morning Mom! What brings you to my office so early in the morning?!"

Duan Chengyu rose up to greet his mother, as the two held each other in an embrace, before finally parting from each other .

"I stopped by the gate of your house and noticed that you had changed the combination, is anything the matter?"

Looking at his mother, one would find it difficult to tell what went on behind the eyes that looked back at her son's .

"It is nothing to be concerned about . "

"If that is so, then why did you change it without letting me know? What if I had visited with friend? Do you know how embarra.s.sing it would have been to be locked out of one's own son's home?!"

"I'm sorry mom, I'll make it up to you later . "

The shrewd eyes of Director Duan looked at those of her son, as she sought to delve into the reason for her son's unusual behavior . As one of the board of directors of Cinopec Group, even though they were family, Duan Chengyu had to be vigilant when in the presence of his mother . He wouldn't put it past her to use the other directors to make things difficult for him, if she wasn't having her way .

"Instead of later, why not do it now?"

"Do what, mom?"

"Tell me the combination code on your gate . "

The Chairman of Cinopec Group smiled amicably while conversing with his mother . When he heard her ask for the new code on his gate, his mind instantly rejected what she said, in the past he wouldn't have minded if she visited him or asked him the combination to his home, but since his new helper moved in, he didn't feel he had to oblige to his mother's request .

"Not now mom, I promise to give it to you some other time . "

Director Duan saw the smile on her son's face, it hadn't s.h.i.+fted a bit, but her instinct as his mother warned her that she was stepping on thin ice with him .

"What is he hiding in his house that he doesn't want me, his mother to know about?!"

Although Director Duan smiled at her son, it never reached her eyes . Not longer after, the two soon stood up to bid each other farewell .

"Take care of yourself mom . "

"And you too son . "

Duan Chengyu could not shake the feeling that his mother would soon be coming after him in full force .
