Feng Xinying headed for Xie Yuansheng"s office. It was already lunchtime. When she reached the company, the guards bowed at her respectfully and then one of them took her to a private elevator. "Miss Xinying, you have to use this elevator from now on."
Feng Xinying noticed that the elevator was a private one and had only two b.u.t.tons, one that led to Xie Yuansheng"s office floor and the other was ground floor. She smiled and stepped inside. She pressed the office floor"s b.u.t.ton and waited for the elevator to reach there. She noticed that the elevator had a lovely song that played when it went up. It was a beautiful love song:
Where dreams didn"t even dare to reach
That is what my life was
There was more silence and misery
Since the day you have stepped in my life
My nightmares are breached
You are there everywhere…
Feng Xinying couldn"t help grinning at Xie Yuansheng"s choice of songs. When she reached the door opened with a ping and she stepped out. While walking towards his room, she stopped in her tracks. She looked at her desk. She was getting dressed to come there in the morning, instead things have drastically changed in a matter of few hours. Where was life taking her? She wondered as she looked around the office. When will she be able to come back over there? Her gaze stopped at Yun Chen who was talking to a girl in her cubicle. She had mellowed down a lot. She would only be interested in her work. After the data breach from her computer her computer had been seized and she was forced to stay without one for a day. She was given a new computer, which was now on twenty four hours vigil.
Feng Xinying walked to Xie Yuansheng"s office. She opened the door and saw him sitting on the sofa with lunch laid out in front of him. "That took you long after entering the office premise," he remarked.
"You keep a watch on me? Mr. CEO this is not right. Tsk tsk."
"I will keep a watch on whomever I like," he said, as he moved to where Feng Xinying had sat down and kissed her. "How was your day?"
Feng Xinying narrated the incidents and then at the end said, "I am ashamed that Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ is my stepsister. She is just too crude."
"Xinying, you have to understand that she has been deprived of a good education, a good background. Perhaps that is why she is like that. However, there is one thing - she is too ambitious and dangerous. Just steer clear of her. You are her target for the rest of your life unfortunately," said Xie Yuansheng as he had a bite of prawns from Feng Xinying"s plate.
Feng Xinying pursed her lips and somewhere inside her heart got tugged for Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. She had been deprived of good upbringing…
Xie Yuansheng noticed her sadness immediately and said, "However, it is possible that after my aunt tells her about all the money she has in inheritance, she may subdue. So, don"t worry, it"s just a matter of few days and she will mellow down."
Feng Xinying immediately cheered up. At least her sister will have some share of their father"s money. After lunch, Feng Xinying decided to finish off the work at her desk and wind it up. However, Zhou Ah Ming called. He wanted to meet her. Since it was still lunchtime, she called him to Xie Yuansheng"s office.
Zhou Ah Ming looked tired. He had been in jail for one night and hadn"t gone to his home but he was still doing his job with dedication. "Madam, I have got the script for the movie. I have heard that Lu Dao is very keen on starting the movie as soon as possible. However, since the movie is set in historical era, you will have to undergo training in martial arts."
Xie Yuansheng was listening to Zhou Ah Ming and said, "Fine, we can hire a trainer. Who is the best in the industry, let me know?"
"Sir, I have a suggestion. Although I am Miss Xinying"s secretary, and I will take good care of her, but if she wants good professional jobs, then she should consider hiring an agency."
"Why?" asked Feng Xinying. "You have a lot of experience in the industry."
"Yes, I do but my experience is limited to male actors. Honestly most directors and producers go to the agencies to find the actors or actresses for their movies or shows. Plus these agencies are also in constant touch with people who organize shows and we need you to partic.i.p.ate in those shows, talent hunts and other things to increase your popularity.
"I am going to be there as your secretary and will find an agency who would accept me too. But we must consider this option seriously."
"Umm… I don"t know anything about movies Zhou Ah Ming. What do you say Feng Xinying?" asked Xie Yuansheng wondering about the idea.
"Well, as a model, I had to be a.s.sociated with an agency, which was absolutely necessary. This is the same agency which Keira worked for. I was lucky to get Keira as my manager. So yes, it is really beneficial."
"Well then what are you waiting for?" said Xie Yuansheng. "You better get her the best agency."
"Yes sir, I will," said Zhou Ah Ming and got up from there to take his leave. He really wanted to go home to meet his family.
Meanwhile when Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ reached home, she saw Xie Weihui sitting in the living room and chatting with Wu Bosun. Wu Bosun looked at her as she entered, his eyes were beaming with a glint of excitement.
"Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+, your mother is here."
Xie Weihui looked back from where she was sitting. She got up from her place and went to hug her. "My child, how are you? Sorry to have come so late."
Ru s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ noticed her suitcase from the corner of her eye and asked, "Did they throw you out of the house?"
"No, no, my dear. I came from there."
