The Ingenious Liam Price 35: Divergent Thinking
"A plane flew over, spraying fuel over our company and then someone sparked a lighter and threw it on the floor, setting the entire place on fire. We not only had our building burnt down; thirteen lives were lost, sixteen were injured and we lost over a hundred brand new cars which were up for sale," Huan Lui adjusted his glasses and sighed heavily. Liam drummed his fingers on the executive wooden desk from where he was seated at the power seat. They were gathered in a small hall they had rented for a meeting upon Liam's arrival in Beijing. The meeting attendees were just nine consisting of Liam himself, Gibson, Yuxuan, Huan Lui the manager, and the remaining four employees who were unhurt."Our Chinese stockholders and investors are afraid they'll lose all of their money because rumor has been spread that we're incapable of redeeming their portion of investment," someone else spoke up, spreading copies of newspapers to everyone.Liam took a look at it and clenched his jaw because thi

The Chinese-speaking paps shifted their cameras toward Liam and took snapshots of him. They didn't know who he was yet but when they asked the crowd who was behind the food sharing, they kept pointing at him."There's something important I'd like to talk about," Liam spoke through his mic and when Huan Lui repeated this in Chinese, heads turned in Liam's direction."I am Liam Price, son of the late Brandon Price who only just arrived in Beijing yesterday," Liam removed his shades, and people were astonished to realize that it was him. Mouths parted and a few paused from eating their steamed pork buns."This was the only way to get your attention, by giving out free steamed pork buns because I am not from your country, nor do I speak your language. A complete foreigner who rushed down here when he learned his late father's business was attacked by sharks in human form, and it's currently at the brink because they want to crumple it to nothing." Liam was talking more than he had expecte
The Ingenious Liam Price 37: Female Impersonation For His Enemy
Liam went through what he considered as torture that evening. His stubble was shaved off and even his hair was slid backward with gorilla gel, so it could fit a wig. He almost gave up when the Make-up artist began with his face. She spent over two hours on him. Slapping several powders to his face, adding eyeliner, lip gloss, and even fake lashes. "Do you want to give up?" Gibson questioned, upon noticing Liam's discomfort."No," Liam knew he wouldn't give up, he was willing to stay still until the whole makeup process ended. By the time a blonde wig was settled on his head, he felt hot all over."Take a look at yourself in the mirror," the Chinese lady twirled the rotating chair and Liam saw his reflection in the mirror for the first time in two hours.His eyes were as big as saucers as he stared back at his reflection in the mirror. "I look exactly like a woman!" He exclaimed out of surprise."Not entirely, you still look manly but they'll see you as a woman because most women ar
The Ingenious Liam Price 38: Unsuccessful Plan (Funny)
Liam scanned through the club and found Charks An in the VIP section at last. The gray-haired man was seated in the midst of his bodyguards and friends, and they were surrounded by half-naked females, just the way Yuxuan had informed Liam. Still, Charks An looked a little bored. Like he was already used to seeing females dance and twerk in front of him. It was clear the man wanted a different sort of entertainment.This was his father's enemy. The man who betrayed Brandon Price because of jealousy. Made his life hell, married his fiance, and tried to crumple his business when he learned of his death. Liam didn't know he was clenching his jaw until he felt a sharp pain there. There was no room for sentiment, he needed to act in accordance with the plan in order to succeed tonight.Liam shouldered his way past people until he was standing a few meters away from the VIP section. He could see Charks An even though the bouncers were in front. "I hope I'm never thrown into this situation
The Ingenious Liam Price 39: Not One To Mess With
Liam's plan didn't work out with Charks An because he couldn't control himself when the drunk man touched him inappropriately."It was a stupid idea," he hissed out and folded his arm across his chest."Could've worked if you were patient," Yuxuan threw him a backward glance, "you had your chance with him.""Do you know what it feels like to be touched by another man? I am straight and even if I don't have a girlfriend now, I'd never do men," Liam cringed inwardly when he had flashbacks of what happened. Yuxuan clenched his jaw to keep from laughing, as he drove Liam.However Liam's phone rang immediately, when he picked it up, it was Avery trying to video call him. "I have news for you," she was almost out of breath when she said this."What's that?" Liam sat upright."The departmental heads in your company are having an urgent meeting at this hour. They don't want anyone else to head the meeting but you. Hunter is here and I can swear he's the mastermind.""Shit," Liam clenched his

"You did great with the meeting but I think Charlotte and Hunter will stir up a proposal to dismiss you from your position as CEO. You have to round things up in Beijing and return as quickly as you can," Avery didn't look pleased when she revealed this to Liam, an hour later. "I haven't even started with Charks An," he was against this."We saw what you did in Beijing, Liam. You not only compensated the victims' families, but you also bought a new building and hired more workers. Got the public on your side. What you did was incredible but Hunter and his minions are against you. Which is one of the reasons you need to return ASAP. Your CEO's seat is vacant," Avery was very blunt with and it was one of the reasons Liam appreciated her. She cared about him, about the company. But he had unfinished business."Look, Avery, I need you to be my eyes on the company. Both you and Sinclair," "Why are you even so obsessed with Charks An? As far as I know, it's all over," she narrowed her ey
The Ingenious Liam Price 41: Faking The Attraction
It was a sunny afternoon when Wang Lui An lay on his beach mat on the foreshore, tanning his skin. He was wearing his shades to block his vision from the sun but knew his skin needed most of it. He grabbed his strained pineapple and drank a little through his straw, before keeping it back. Four men in suits were standing a few feet away from him. These were his bodyguards who were assigned to watch over him whilst he was at the beach. Wang Lui An's phone rang and someone rushed to hand him the phone. "Hello?" He spoke in Chinese and before the caller could respond, Wang Lui An's phone unconsciously slipped up from his hand.He hurriedly sat upright and removed his shades upon seeing the good-looking, young white man resurfacing the water. Wang Lui An's throat worked as his eyes raked at the ripped muscles and broadness of this stranger's shoulder. He was shirtless, wearing just black briefs and the way tiny droplets of water rolled from his chest was sizzling to Wang Lui An.***L
The Ingenious Liam Price 42: The Jar Of Bees
Just as Liam had expected, Wang Lui An showed up with his horse and raced toward him until he was right by Liam's side."I saw you at the beach today," he held his horse reins tightly.Liam only angled his head at Wang Lui An, smirked at him, and went ahead of him. He ran over a yard to keep distance between them.Wang Lui An tried to catch up with Liam once more, but this time bees had magically appeared from nowhere, stirring up a neigh from his horse who hurriedly began to misbehave and bucked.Wang Lui An lost his balance on the horse, he was supposed to fall from the bucking but he ended up grabbing the horse's neck for support, whilst the horse took him in a totally different direction, trying to get away from the bees whom it was frightened of. Liam turned his horse around and started following Wang Lui An's horse because he wanted to rescue the man. It was he who released the bees straight from a jar. Something he had carried with him, just to scare Wang Lui An's horse."Help!
