Chapter 106: Inappropriate things

"I was just kidding. I baked them yesterday and wanted to share some with you. Although they are not fresh, they are still very good."

Ming opened the box and he could still smell the freshness from it. They do look very good.

Lena sat herself down on the chair across Ming. "So… is this your new position?"

"No. I am just finishing things here. My grandfather wants me to take full charge of Project Crystal and the company development there."

"Ah… How about your brother?"

"My grandfather put him in the research department. I guess that is a nice start for him."

"So.. is that good or not?"

"He was not given Vice-chairman or anything related to the main company, so I guess it's good."

Ming's phone keep dinging, notifying him that he has text messaged. But, he kept ignoring them so Lena did too.

"My main purpose is actually asking for my second favor." Lena went into her purse and pulled out a small plastic zip bag with a white pill. "I can have this tested at my own lab, but sending it there and having the results back would take longer than if you do it for me. So can you have this tested and give me the result within 48 hours?"

Ming Zhao took the small bag from her. He stared at it. After a few seconds of silence, he replied back to Lena. "I can save you a favor. Bring this down to my brother and he'll do it for free for you."

"Huh?" Lena was confused. Why would she want to ask help from such a man?

"My brother is now in charge of the research and it's progress. Knowing the strong partnership between out companies he would not deny doing this for free for you."

"I only told my driver that I would be here quickly."

"Secretary Tim can take you down to my brother and I can have someone notify your driver."

"Fine. But today, you would still be doing me a favor." Lena planned to used two favors, but if this could make her only use one, then it's still a win-win for her. "There's a gun that I specifically want."

Ming raised his eyebrow. "Do you think I am an arm's dealer?"

"The gun doesn't exist yet. I want you to find me the person who can make it for me."

Ming wanted to ask more questions about why Lena would need one. But then again, he has one too. If a man can carry a gun with him, a woman can too. "What name?"

"I don't know. James only knows her by her craftsmanship name. She goes by Reina."

"I'll see what I can do. No guarantee though."

"I trust your good worth results." Lena smiled.

Secretary Tim opened the door and waited for Lena. She thanked Ming and walked out with Secretary Tim. He led her down the elevator to the basement levels of the company. He scanned his eye and card into the elevator before the door opened.

"I already notified Mike Zhao that you needed to meet with him. He should just be in his office there."

"Thanks. I can go from here."

Lena walked down the hallway. She could see from the glass walls of several scientists working on new technology. She saw a young woman hurriedly coming her way.

"Hello, Miss. Shen." The young woman slowly bowed her head. Lena could see her pink flushed cheeks and plump lips. Her skirt was crooked and her shirt was slightly messy. "Manager Zhao is just in there."

Lena put up her nice-lady face and smiled. She knocked on the door and only entered after she heard a "Come in." She opened it and there he was, sitting like a bastard. Judging from the young woman outside, this man was probably doing inappropriate things before she arrived. Why did Ming Zhao even tell her to come down here?

Lena does not know if she wanted to sit in the chair or not but she kept her smile. "Manager Zhao." They shook hands. Lena made sure it was a quick one. She doesn't know what places that nasty hand had been.

"My brother said there was something I could help you with?"

"Yes. I asked him but I guess you were the better person to come to." Lena tried to sugar coat the man.

"Of course. How can I help you."

Lena did not dare sit down. She just needed to get her things done and leave. She handed him the small plastic zip bag. "I want you to test this and tell me what it is."

Mike took the bag from her and looked at the pill. His smile instantly dropped and his eyes flickered with fright. Lena spotted it even though he quickly smiled again.

"Sure thing!" He swallowed.

It did not take a smart person to know that this man was nervous. It was like a child hiding from his mother that he had done something wrong. "If possible, can I get a result within 24 hours?" Lena cut the time by half. "After all, you are the best man suited for this job, are you not?"

"Anything for you. Such a pretty lady, I can never deny such a request." He glanced down Lena's full body. Lena continued to keep her shining smile and relax her hand that wants to punch this a**hole. "If you don't mind, may I ask how Miss. Shen got this pill?"

Lena could read his curious mind this time. She knew that Ming Zhao probably sent her down for a reason. She had to play smart even though she had not complete idea what this pill was. "A friend gave it me. She said…" Lena leaned close to the man so she could whisper. "It's good on men… you know." She backed away and seductively winked at him. In her normal voice, she continued. "I just wanted to make sure it was the real thing and nothing bad from it. So 24 hours?"

"I can give you the results in 24 hours."

"Very well then, I owe you one." Lena smiled and walked out of the room. She quickly went back to the elevator to leave this hell hole. When she got back to the main floor, she stopped by the bathroom and washed her hands several times before heading back out to the car. She looked at the clock and only 30 minutes had passed.

She'll make sure to get an explanation from Ming next time.
