398 The Walls are breached - Part 1
Monday
Hou Yi, awoke with Anna sleeping beside him in their own bed in their own home.Noticing the cast on her leg reminded him of how he had failed her.His movements however awoke Anna, sleeping beside him.Anna noticed Hou Yi watching her and turned reaching up to bring his head down to her and when he realised what she was doing Hou Yi cooperated with Anna.
They continued kissing while gently arousing each other and increasingly found it hard to pull back.Eventually they were able to stop but could not keep from their foreheads touching.
"Good morning wife"
"Good morning husband, I love you."
"As to I.You do not know how much I have dreamed about waking up with you when it is easy for us to confess …"
"How we feel about each other.I know.I never through when Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin did what they did I could be this happy, but it is what I need.You are the person who I will spend my life with."
"Me too."With that he leaned over and gave Anna another kiss.
"I cannot wait until you have your case off, and we have permission to …"
"Me too.Have I told you now magical that night was…"
"Almost a month ago. It fulfilled my dreams and I could not believe it."
"I cannot believe how stupid we were for weeks.We danced around how we felt for almost a month.And it was so funny when we spoke to Phillipa yesterday and confessed to her what we had admitted to each other.She told us she knew the day that she first met with us how we felt about the other…"
"But we had to be ready to say something to the other.I just wish you did not have to go through what those two put you through, let alone what that idiot put you through."
"Yi, how many times have I told you, do not worry about it.I figured out what is important, and has gotten us to this point now, and it will be a real story for our children and grandchildren in the future.We love each other and want to spend our lives together."
Anna paused before continuing "Now, I know you have something else planned for Lu Corporation.What is it?"
"How in the world …"
"You forget I love you.I can pick up when you are hiding something from me.I knew on Wednesday you have something else planned, as some of the people on stage were people I had seen you having meetings with.You were the ultimate power behind that press conference.But I know that will not satisfy you.Come on, you need to tell me, because at least you need another board member on your side if there is a reaction."
"Anna, you need to let me keep some secrets."
"You know that you are not going to be able to keep secrets from me, I can read you so easily."
Hou Yi gave a frustrated sigh and decided that it now did not matter about keeping a secret from Anna on this."Business wise Lu Corporation\'s major income source is their entertainment division, including shopping complexes, film and television.While we have been involved in Shopping and Entertainment Complex development, sometimes in ventures involving XF International, Hou Enterprises has only otherwise had a small entertainment division that has focused on musicians, mainly in an international context.XF International has a large division focused on Film, Television and music domestically."
"After some discussions with Tan, he proposed a equal joint venture, drawing on each of our expertise, for Shopping and Entertainment Complexes, Film and Television lot development, and domestically focusing on artists in Film, Television and Music arenas.The latter will be the immediate focus, with the former being more longer-term ventures.Business wise it makes sense as it draws on both our companies expertise, and will help to undermine Lu Corporation\'s Entertainment division."
"Why would Tan propose it?"
"Business.Both Hou Enterprises and XF International know that competing against each other in activities ultimately will harm both businesses.That is generational, not simply because of Tan and my friendship.Where it has suited both businesses there has been a history of collaboration.We are simply going to take that further."
"We decided to form a joint venture, that brings together both our entertainment divisions along with our Shopping and Entertainment Centre developments, which XF have only been a bit player in.Additionally we will pull together both our plans for a Film and Television sound lot development together to make a larger more powerful development."
"The immediate target though has been recruiting artists to create hearline acts in the joint venture, with renegotiation of contracts with existing artists, to allow them to move to the new venture.We already have in place arrangements to deal with the situation if the joint venture comes to an end, that will benefit both companies.Hou Enterprises will have the ability to expand the artists under our management, while keeping other developments and XF International will have benefits regarding shopping and entertainment complex developments that they otherwise would not have had."
Hou Yi paused, and continued "Come on we need to get ready and into the office as there are things we need to do."
"True."With that Hou Yi, walked into their walk-in robe and selected a business suit for him, and a suit for Anna, and carried them into the bathroom, before returning to the bed to carry his wife into their bathroom, working to cover her cast so she could have a shower.Twenty minutes later after showering and indulging themselves somewhat in the shower, the exited and changed before heading downstairs to where a breakfast was waiting for them, and then headed to the office.
