Chapter 34

Yifeng knew he had to decide out of the two girls the one he is going to try to approach Zhang Wei with. He started to weigh the pros and cons of each woman.

For Li Na, if he introduced her to Zhang Wei, he would help her with Xiu Ying. 'Xiu Ying' he thought. Why was he so adamant on getting her? Was it her persistence in avoiding him, or her ways of playing hard to get? Whatever it was, he would find out.

(uh…maybe she just doesn't like you???)

The cons were that she could get out of control if she ever succeeded. From the start of their cooperation, he could see the greed growing in her eyes. What if she betrayed him when he succeeded doing his part of the deal? He couldn't deal with that.

Then he thought about Mimi. The pros of having them connect with Zhang Wei is that it is going to be greatly beneficial for their family. To boot, he could get the land his father had been blabbing about. It was a win-win situation for him. The cons were…

He couldn't think of any. He knew his sister wasn't the smartest. She had been spoiled since birth being the only female child in their family. She was very bratty on bad days. The only thing he was worried about was her annoying him to anger.

He was willing to risk it though. So, who would he choose to help?

After considering, he sighed. The one who brings in the most benefit is the one who he would help. His sister. That was who he would help. If anything, there was one more added pro to this was that if he got the land and everything else, he could use other ways to get Xiu Ying. He would not need Li Na's help anymore.

He laughed to himself. It really was a full proof plan. The only thing now was to make sure he was patient. Right now, he couldn't let Li Na know he wasn't helping her anymore. It wouldn't do him any good now.

If he severed the cooperation now, he would risk Li Na telling Xiu Ying and Xiu Ying will hate him forever. He couldn't have that. He would Take it slow and get his sister to get close to him. With that in mind, he entered his room. It had been a long day.

The day after, there was an announcement through out the whole school. There would be a test in each department and the top three in each department would get a chance to attend the upcoming gala sponsored by the Zhang family. There were seven departments in total, which meant twenty-one spots available.

The banquet would include all families from all parts of the industry. This was the best opportunity to establish themselves in their careers. Of course, everyone was excited for different reasons. Some were for obvious reasons excited to establish themselves, others just wanted to have a taste of the rich life and a few deep down just wanted to find a sponsor.

This got the whole school buzzing. Li Na, who just heard about this, jumped for joy. She had heard there was a test coming up but didn't pay attention to it because it was the first test. There were many others. This was the best opportunity for her to meet Zhang Wei.

She immediately contacted Yifeng and basically demanded she be his partner for the dinner.

"I just heard about it. This is our chance. No mistakes allowed."

Yifeng, who already had an invite anticipated this and agreed just because he didn't want to arouse her suspicions.

Li Na had already deemed one of the spots hers before even taking the test. The test had been scheduled one week later and the gala was to be held two weeks after. This was enough time for all sides to prepare, even the hosts.

Zhang Wei was quite neutral about this dinner. The only thing was that he was getting annoyed by the amount of calls coming to his office about partner requests. He wondered how shameless these people were.

He got back to work, not worrying about it. He would not answer them anyway. He left it to his trusty secretary to handle the work.

His trusty secretary currently felt like his soul was leaving his body. He didn't even have time for a water break, with all these phone calls. He wanted to disconnect the line but couldn't because that would be troublesome to handle later. What he could do was to answer these calls and deny as politely as he can.

Ye Ying was patiently looking over her investigation results. She was frustrated. There seemed to be no progress with it. The results were limited because they couldn't get a face. The body type was common so they couldn't assume based on body type. She bit her nails. All this was for nothing. She threw the papers on the table. It seemed she needed to be more careful with the arrival of an unknown rival.

She knew that with the planning of the gala, people would send request to be partners to Zhang Wei, but she just laughed at all of them. It was obvious who was going to be his partner. Her, of course. Her relationship with the Zhangs are deep. No one would disrupt that, especially not desperate whores that think they can just cling unto him.

"He is mine. Always has, always will be. No one is going to change that."

She was happy, all the papers in front of her forgotten. She couldn't wait for the dinner. She'd need to show these women that Zhang Wei belonged to her. Wi that, she stood up. She needed to prepare for it. She would soon receive a call from Mrs. Zhang about joining her son.

Xiu Ying and Xi Xing agreed on a time to meet up. They too heard about the test and the gala. She just wanted to do well in her tests and exams. She didn't need any banquet ticket. She wouldn't lie though and say that it wasn't going to be beneficial for her. She could expand her horizons.

Xi Xing was nervous. "Say, Ying, do you plan to score one of the tickets to the gala?"

Xiu Ying shrugged. "That isn't my purpose, but if I do, I would be foolish to reject it. It is good chance."

Xix Xing nodded. "Then, let's do our best. Let's try to get in."

"Hello."

The girls were startled and turned to see who it was. They were greeted by a handsome face.

He smiled. "Can I join you ladies?"

Xiu Ying and Xi Xing looked at each other. They nodded. The man smiled and found a spot beside Xi Xing.

"Hello, my name is Ian Long. Pleasure to meet you."
