Chapter 44 - Coming (II)
From what she rembered in her last previous life. DV project beca very big after four years. So she really did not mind that they lost the project. The other project she gave to Fang Dien would appear it's usefulness for almost one-three years.
She only wanted it (DV project) because it would beco a huge part of the Zheng Duo (ZD) all-in-project. An international project that gave a headache to that beast. In other words, the ZD all-in-project could rival and could give a huge blow to that beast company. But of course, if she could take her hands on it and make another ZD project she would do everything to take down the beast's company. And she was confident she could do it. But seems like the company behind the ZD all-in-project was prepared and already planning to have a project internationally.
SC Company...
She heard about this company before. But only heard. Never once they revealed themselves to dia. Only the PR were appearing in the news whenever the dia would publicize their accomplishnts in overseas. She rembered that this company competed against that beast company. In other words, all projects the beast wanted to invest and expands would be taken away by SC Company. These really made that beast mad. So for that favor last lifeti she would not fight for the other projects that involved ZD all-in-project. In the future, she might collaborate with them.
"Don't fret over it. Whenever you face this SC company don't fight them."
"En." Fang Dien replied.
"What about the RESTO?" Xiong Zhi asked. That restaurant would take a lot of ti to re-innovate and make it known.
"Ahh...yes. I'll be visiting them tomorrow. "
"Good." Xiong Zhi said to Fang Dien that he needed to take action personally when it cos to RESTO. Even though he did not understand the reason behind it, the boss was the one who would make the order so he would follow.
Right at this mont, a knocked ca, Fang Dien said to co in and a young man walks in.
"Sir, there is a woman--" he stopped for a mont when he saw Xiong Zhi.
'What a pretty girl... Is she our boss's younger sister? '
He stared at the two beautiful people for a while but he did not manage to see their similarities. Hence, he concluded that the other one look like his father, the other one look like her mother.
"What is it?" Fang Dien's question woke up the young man from his daze.
"Oh! Pardon ...there is a woman nad Xiao i. She said she had an appointnt with the boss. Should I let her in?"
Fang Dien look questionably to Xiong Zhi.
"Let her co in." Xiong Zhi said. The young man looks at her dumbly for a while.
'Is she only a younger sister of our boss? To order like that...'
"Do what she says." Fang Dien said. He knew what his employee was thinking. It was written all over his face.
"Y-yes, sir." Then the employee went out and guide Xiao i to the office.
Xiao i walks into the office. Xiong Zhi was stunned for a mont before she broke into a small smile and greet Xiao i.
"Nice haircut." Xiong Zhi said. Eyeing the shoulder-length hair of Xiao i.
Xiao i cut her long hair the mont she was freed from the prison. It was a rembrance of her suffering from the prison, her naive thinking, and how the world truly works. She would not be the sa timid Xiao i before. As she entered this business industry with people she chooses to trust, she would not be a rciful person to her enemy. This world would eat from the weak and the strong people would always win. And she chooses to beco the latter.
She smiled at Xiong Zhi.
"Thank you so much for helping and my grandmother. My grandmother heard about it. And she asked that if you have ti you can visit her. And she will thank you personally."
"I will. Maybe one of these days."
Xiao i and Xiong Zhi sat and Xiong Zhi introduced her CEO to the Vice-director. After introducing, and telling her plan for future projects. Xiong Zhi left them to let their selves be familiar with each other. They needed to bond as the company would flourish more.
______________________
Xiong Zhi arrived at Xiong Mansion when the sun was about to set. She did not expect that she would talk to them longer than she imagined. Talking to people was not that bad after all.
(A/N: hey you talk purely about business....????)
When she arrived a butler ca to her and said that Old Xiong would have dinner with her.
It was not usual for Old Xiong to dine with her. Usually, she dines alone. Sotis the old man would order her to eat with him. And an announcent would happen next. Like last ti when the old man had breakfast with her to announce Linfeng's existence.
What will be his announcent this ti?
When the clock hit seven, Xiong Zhi was already sitting in her usual place. Her hands were placed on top of her lap. She was a bit nervous.
'It is not about that beast, right? Our marriage arrangent?'
Xiong Zhi shook her head inwardly.
'No. The old man already makes a promise to ...
'What will be this ti ?'
When Xiong Zhi saw Old Xiong coming with Mr. Zhou following behind she cald herself. She stands up and said her usual line.
"Good evening grandfather, how are you today?"
"Good." Then Old Xiong sat at the lone chair.
Food started coming and after waiting they began to eat.
In the middle of their eating, Old Xiong began to speak.
"Are you coming this Friday?"
Xiong Zhi stopped her movent and recalled what's with this Friday. Then she rembered it was the Xiong Empire 325th Anniversary. She rembered that last lifeti she did not attend this year nor the upcoming years. Simply because she did not care. Now...would she co?
Xiong Zhi was still thinking when Old Xiong brought news again.
"Your third uncle and your cousin will also co. They will arrive this Thursday."
That made Xiong Zhi blank for a mont. Then a small smile made its way to her lips.
"I'll co, grandfather."
"Good. It is a good opportunity for you to socialize and expand your business. I'll expect you then."
Xiong Zhi said "En." And began to eat in silence. However, in her mind flashbacks of sches of her third uncle and cousin appeared. Those two were the mastermind why she lost her inheritance and end up in that beast's hands.
Their first move was taken at Xiong Empire Anniversary. Naturally, she, a reborn woman, would also take the first step of her revenge on that day.
As she thought of this her grip at the knife that was slicing a piece of delicate at was tightened and every chop executes a restrained strength.
Oh. She could not wait to et them.
