You must Fang Haoyu said I'll come pick you up He added
Not long after, Fang Haoyu stopped by the Feng's family mansion.
That was quick Ai Meng said with a slight smile.
Hmm Fang Haoyu said as he kissed her cheek and hugged her.
Ahem Xue Song cleared his throat to signify his presence.
Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Song Song you're also leaving Ai Meng said
Yes Xue Song replied
That's nice. Make sure this bastard does not stay home, school or the office at all times. Make sure he parties and gets a girlfriend every one year till he finds the one he likes. If we leave him, he'll become a monk Ai Meng said
You still haven't told her Xue Song asked
I did and she said no Fang Haoyu said and Xue Song Sighed pitiful.
When they got to the airport Ai Meng kept asking.
Is your passport with you? Do you have all the clothes you need Ai Meng asked worriedly.
I'm fine Fang Haoyu said for the umpteenth time and Ai Meng nodded for the umpteenth time.
Ai Meng put on her professional blank expression as Fang Haoyu made to leave. He gave one of his bodyguard his bag and then he walked back to Ai Meng and then hugged her which Ai Meng returned after releasing her he lowered his head and kissed her. A chaste innocent kiss.
See you around Fang Haoyu said after breaking the kiss.
Ai Meng nodded with a smile.
And Fang Haoyu left. She waited till the plane took off and immediately it did, she took a cab to Feng's corps.
She fell her hair from a ponytail, removed the long jacket she was wearing. Inside she was wearing a suit. A male suit.
She held the jacket in one hand and then when they got to Feng Corps she walked into the building as she was about to walk past the receptionist and the securities refused to let her pass. Ai Meng removed her phone from her pocket.
Pa, I'm having issues getting in Ai Meng said into the phone
You're late Feng Huanzhuang said in a stern voice over the phone.
I'll leave. You know I'll prefer being in another uni studying business or psychology Ai Meng said
Okay Feng Huanzhuang said resolutely. His voice carried a little indulgence and helplessness.
Not long after his assistant came downstairs.
Miss Feng I'm sorry for the holdup The assistant said
Ai Meng nodded with zero expression as her body seeped cold air.
She inserted her hand in her pocket and walked into the elevator.
Young Miss, these are the files Boss said you're going to work on as of today. He said he believes you can work on this after the lessons Young master gave you. The assistant said.
Ai Meng took the files and nodded she inserted one hand in her pocket and held the files in her other hand.
The assistant showed Ai Meng to her office. Ai Meng sighed and started working. There wasn't anybody she'll spend the night talking to so she'd just work the night away.
She worked night and day, from dusk till dawn, 24hours a day, 7 days a week, 31 days a month 365 days a year.
One of the days while she was out, she met the Mo family young master.
Ai Meng raised her left hand checking the time as she waited for her driver when somebody walked up to her.
You seem like you need a lift The person said.
Ai Meng read his lips since she had her earphones on but still, she ignored him. Humming a tune as time passed by.
Ai Meng continued ignoring him and he continued staring at her.
Ai Meng glanced at him (so he thought) and got in the car. Not long after, Ai Meng's driver and assistant came.
Young miss The assistant called and Ai Meng removed her earphones.
Young master said there's this deal you need to strike with the Mo family. He said that instead of making them the enemy, we can make them our ally. And he was wondering if you'd do him a favour by striking the deal with the Young master of the Mo family The assistant explained.
Ai Meng bit her upper lip as she glared at nothing in particular. She picked up her phone and called Feng Sui.
Brother Ai Meng yelled. The assistant turned to look at Ai Meng. This was the first time Ai Meng was losing her cool since they'd met and it was scary.
Yes sweet sister Feng Sui answered in a voice which seemed to suppress his laughter.
What the heck? Since when did I start working for you that you'd make me strike a deal with the Mo family. The fuck. We both know that the dude isn't that nice with that stone cold feature of his Ai Meng said as she huffed
And do you think anyone's character is colder than your own. Feng Sui said turning his question to a statement.
The meeting spot Is the Karaoke opposite sun estate. Feng Sui said
Not only am I striking the deal, I'm meeting him at his lair. Brother, tell me something? Ai Meng said
What? Feng Sui asked
You don't love me. Do you? Ai Meng said
How do you know? Feng Sui asked amusement lacing his voice.
I knew it Ai Meng said
Anyway, forty sixty she added
No way. Thirty seventy Feng Sui said
You have brains and legs Ai Meng said in a tone that dismissed the conversation
Okay fine Forty sixty Feng Sui said
Deal Ai Meng said
She went home and freshened up. She wore a black baggy trouser, a white T-shirt, black and white shoes, black cross bag which held the file and the agreement, black face cap and black nose mask.
She walked out of her house to the parking lot she drove herself to the Karaoke. When she got in she perceived cigarette and she subconsciously tightened her fists. Cigarettes bring back memories. Bad ones.
She took a deep breath and walked to room 234 and sat down playing with her phone with her earphone on.
Late into the night Mo Yan came. He arched his brow in surprise.
Mo Yan. He introduced himself briefly since he wasn't a man of many words.
Feng Jing Ai Meng said as she removed her face cap and the nose mask.
She wore her knee the cap and kept the mask in her bag.
Without further ado, she brought the files out of her bag.
So, from what I've gathered, you and the Feng family has been vying for this piece of land for a decade now. From our perspective it's waste of time and resources. I don't need to tell you that we are very busy people and business men makes sure they use a penny to get more than a penny but you've been making that hard for more than a decade Ai Meng said not looking up at him her eyes focused on her fingers.
Your point? Mo Yan asked
The point is we want to put a stop to it. Ai Meng said
How? Mo Yan asked
Well, we came up with this plan Ai Meng said as she handed him the file. Talking to the dude was exhausting.
He was quiet and scanned the document.
Little girl, I must say your plan is quite efficient but don't you think sixty-five thirty-five is too heartless. Mo Yan said as amusement laced his voice.
Yearly, we the Feng family we spend more than you do in the development of that area and we both know if we work together, you're going to eat already made food because there's nothing you can contribute to this. It's like a platter of gold. You're lucky I didn't say seventy thirty or eighty twenty Ai Meng said with a frown as she pursed her lips into a thin line.
I'll think about it. Mo Yan said about to stand up
If you leave now, the next time I'll come on to you will be through violence Ai Meng said wearing her mask.
Little girl are you threatening me Mo Yan said
From the outsider's perspective you're the threat because I'm alone with a grown man and his body guards in one room. Ha ha very funny Ai Meng said sarcastically
You wouldn't win me over with this attitude of yours Mo Yan said
Oh I know Ai Meng nodded. I'm not worried Ai Meng said as she took her phone out and called her brother. She removed her earphone from her ear. Mo Yan watched all this speechless.
You've been wearing earphones all this while. Mo Yan asked
Problem? Ai Meng asked
Nope. Mo Yan said
What is it? Feng Sui's voice rang out
I told you speaking to this guy is exhausting but you said no I must. He refused Ai Meng said with a sigh
Ai Meng what did you this time? Feng Sui said
He's a pain in the ass. I'm no longer interested in the deal Ai Meng said
When did I refuse? Mo Yan said as though what he just heard is ludicrous
So, you accept? You should have said so earlier Ai Meng said muttering incoherent words under her breath
You said? Mo Yan asked
Here is the agreement. Ai Meng said and stood up to leave.
If there's anything, speak to my assistant and forward whatever disagreement you have to the company's mail. She added before walking past the door as she wore her mask.
She felt slightly lonely. She subconsciously wished Fang Haoyu was with her.
Yo, miss Ai Mo Yan called as he jogged towards her
Hmm? Ai Meng raised a brow and turned to look at him wondering how he knew her name was Ai Meng.
Do you know who I am? Mo Yan asked
Yea. Young master Mo of the Mo family Ai Meng said quietly as she inserted her hand inside her trouser.
Who am I to you? Mo Yan asked
Business partner Ai Meng replied
So you still don't know he asked
Know what? Ai Meng asked
I'm your freaking brother. Well step brother Mo Yan said. Ai Meng sighed exasperated
Yay Ai Meng said sarcastically throwing her hands up in the air.
If I'm not wrong there should be one more. Gu Zhang, Mo Yan and Shi Xuanhe Mo Yan said
Seriously? Ai Meng sighed Thanks Ai Meng nodded
You're supposed to hug me Mo Yan said and Ai Meng glared at him.
Feisty Mo Yan said
I'll get going. Ai Meng said she took a cab to the restaurant Fang Haoyu took her to the time she was sick.
She ordered the same ice-cream they couldn't eat that time.
She sat down and ate it while savoring the taste. She took out her phone and checked if Fang Haoyu had posted any picture but it wasn't so. The last time he went online was 1 year ago. The day he left, the last time he chatted with her. Ai Meng couldn't help but sulk.
After eating the ice-cream, she walked away. Her driver was already outside waiting for her along with her assistant.
The assistant could only look at Ai Meng's gloomy face. The last time she was in this mood, he suffered. She found fault in every little thing he did. Things that she usually ignores.
Miss Feng to the company The assistant asked and Ai Meng nodded quietly.
She walked in, put her earphone on and walked in. All the employees couldn't help but gulp.
The time she resumed, everyone thought she was a new bee that could be ignored and bullied but her actions said otherwise. Days she's on casual clothing, she'd bother to greet them. The day she's on suit, that would be a day of hell on earth. There were times when they wondered if there was anything that could soften her.
Slowly, Ai Meng expanded Feng Corps. In the blink of an eye six years passed. There wasn't any family and company who didn't know the name Feng Jing. It is and was the only name except Fang Haoyu that scared men out of their wits.
Ah. Jing my girl. You've made me proud. Feng Huanzhuang said.
Hmm. I'm no longer a kid Ai Meng snorted
You are Feng Huanzhuang said
Do I need to remind you that I am now 26 years old Ai Meng said
You're 25. Your 26th birthday is in the next four months Feng Huanzhuang said
So, why did you call me again? Ai Meng asked
I want to travel my dear daughter but there's no one to take me to the airport Feng Huanzhuang said
What about your chauffer, kexin, that snorty bratty son of yours and Big brother. They're all available.
I sent my chauffer off on holidays. You know Kexin is a journalist and also a tourist so currently she's not in China and that bratty son of mine isn't allowed to drive me there if not I'll get a heart attack before arriving at the airport. Feng Huanzhuang said sighing
