Wang Yu saw that he had missed a call from Wu Qing when he came out of the shower. He called back.
Wu Qing picked up the call in the first ring, "When did you leave to X country? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Did you ask Li Zi Yun? Are you at my office?"
"No I am leaving the company just now. When will you return?"
"Not sure"
"I saw Xie Qiao in your office. He was entering your office when I was leaving"
"I will talk to him"
Wang Yu had completely forgotten that he had asked Xie Qiao to come over. He had so many things in his mind that it had slipped his mind.
Li Zi Yun looked at Xie Qiao from top to bottom. She guessed that he should be the same age as Wang Yu. She tried to recall if she had seen Xie Qiao anywhere but she couldn't remember. Li Zi Yun was standing near the wall, Xie Qiao was standing opposite to her with his body leaning against the wall, and his left leg folded against the wall. Xie Qiao stood there posing like a model.
Xie Qiao said to Li Zi Yun with a smile on his face "Wang Yu is really heartless making such a beautiful girl do all his work"
"CEO Wang Yu is not here. Can you please come back when he returns?"
"Sure. Give me your number so that you can inform me"
"What? My number?"
"Oh. Where are my manners?"
Xie Qiao extended his hand towards Li Zi Yun for handshake. Li Zi Yun knew that it would be impolite to not shake hands when someone is extending theirs so she extended her hands for a handshake.
"I am Xie Qiao, President of Xie Group of companies. Save my number too"
Li Zi Yun had met with Xie Qiao's father but she did not know this was how Xie Qiao looked like. Xie Qiao was about to leave, then he changed his decision and turned around to face Li Zi Yun.
"You are exactly my type. Would the beauty be interested in having a cup of coffee with me?"
"Huh?" Li Zi Yun could see that Xie Qiao was flirting with him, but she did not expect him to be so straightforward and open. Li Zi Yun was not sure what to answer. Exactly at that moment, Li Zi Yun's phone rang. It was Wang Yu. She immediately picked up the call.
"CEO Wang…"
"Did anyone come to see me?"
"President Xie Qiao is here."
"Is he still there?"
"Yes Sir…" Li Zi Yun was looking at Xie Qiao as she spoke.
Before Li Zi Yun could listen to Wang Yu's reply, Xie Qiao pulled Li Zi Yun's phone from her hands to speak to Wang Yu.
"Very very bad timing"
"What are you doing there? I will meet you after I come back. Leave now"
"Now you're hurting me. Is this how you treat the people you ask for help?"
"I will treat you after I come back. Don't disturb my employees"
"I have so much to talk to Zi Yun. Why did you interrupt our conversation?"
Then Xie Qiao looked at Li Zi Yun and asked her, "You haven't replied to my question"
"Why are you distracting my secretary? Give her mobile back to her I want to discuss something with her"
Xie Qiao cut the call without passing the mobile to Li Zi Yun. Before giving the mobile back to Li Zi Yun he started dialing his number. Before Li Zi Yun could take it away from his hands, he had given a missed call to his number. Wang Yu gave a call to Li Zi Yun once again but Xie Qiao cut the call before giving the mobile back to Li Zi Yun.
Xie Qiao winked at Li Zi Yun and said to her, "Save my number. Well meet in the weekend for coffee", he waved goodbye, blew a kiss and left before Li Zi Yun could answer.
Li Zi Yun was looking open mouthed at Xie Qiao's retreating figure. He came and spoke to her, flirted with her, took her number without permission and left before she could say anything. What was that guy thinking in his mind? Li Zi Yun then received a message from Wang Yu.
"Don't have any contact with Xie Qiao and don't meet him either"
Li Zi Yun shook her head and went back to continuing her work. Li Zi Yun had a sandwich for brunch and nothing else. Since Li Zi Yun was the one in charge now, many people were trying to meet her, requesting her to satisfy their requests. They wouldn't have the guts to do that if Wang Yu was here, but since it was Li Zi Yun, a lot of employees were trying to meet her.
At the end of the day, Li Zi Yun slumped down on the chair tired. She did not want to move an inch from her seat. She would have happily slept there if she did not have to leave. Unwillingly Li Zi Yun got up to leave the office. She was feeling tired to the bones.
Li Zi Yun consoled herself that she did not at least have to take public transport or taxi at this time. She was grateful that Wang Yu had assigned a car for her.
Li Zi Yun was receiving instructions from Assistant Liu Guang daily. At last it was the weekend and Li Zi Yun could relax. It had been a hectic week for her. Zhou Nan Xi had been sending updates daily. He knew that he had no other choice other than following Wang Yu's orders but he found this job boring.
Since it had been a long time since Li Zi Yun met with Wu Li Shu, Li Zi Yun thought of going out for shopping with Wu Li Shu. Chu Yan had called her but she did not pick up the call. She still hadn't forgotten the words he said to her when she saw him the last time. She had answered his call the before day only because she was half-asleep. She wouldn't have spoken to him if she was awake. Even Chu Yan was surprised when Li Zi Yun spoke normally.
Li Zi Yun woke up late in the morning only when Wu Li Shu knocked at her door. Li Zi Yun was not fully awake when Wu Li Shu rang the doorbell.
Wu Li Shu said to Li Zi Yun "I told you to be ready when I come to pick you up sleepy head" when she saw Li Zi Yun slumping down on the sofa after she opened the door.
"…"
"Get ready. We have to leave now"
Wu Li Shu dragged Li Zi Yun to the bathroom and shut her in. She yelled from outside the door, "Don't come out till your ready"
Li Zi Yun poured water over her face trying to wake herself up. She got ready quickly and left the house with Wu Li Shu.
When Wu Li Shu and Li Zi Yun reached the mall it was midday, they thought of having lunch before starting their shopping spree. Li Zi Yun felt her stomach ache when she was hungry, the pain did not subside even when she was eating.
When Li Zi Yun was eating someone sat in the chair beside her. When Li Zi Yun turned to see whom it was, it was Chu Yan.
Li Zi Yun was staring at Wu Li Shu, "Why did you ask him to come here?"
"What's so strange about that? Don't we usually hang out together?" Wu Li Shu had no idea there Li Zi Yun was no longer speaking to Chu Yan.
"I'm leaving" Li Zi Yun got up to leave.
"Wait." Chu Yan was holding her wrist not allowing her to leave.
Li Zi Yun did not turn to even look at him.
"What is happening here?" Wu Li Shu was looking from Li Zi Yun to Chu Yan. Neither one of them told her about their conversation the other day.
"Listen to me for one second" Chu Yan pulled Li Zi Yun down making her sit again. Wu Li Shu could sense that they were fighting. It was common for Li Zi Yun and Chu Yan to fight often but the fight never lasted more than an hour.
Wu Li Shu asked Chu Yan, "Chu Yan how did you wrong her?"
Chu Yan stared at Wu Li Shu, "Why do you think I am the one on the wrong side?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Chu Yan pulled Li Zi Yun's hands and made her sit down on the chair.
"Ask her why is she always with Wang Yu and even sleeping at his place?" Chu Yan did not let go of Li Zi Yun's hands. He knew she would leave the moment he releases his hold on her hands.
Fu Ming Zhu had come out after a long time. After the video was released of her son and daughter, she felt like everyone was whispering about her when she came out. So she avoided going out. When Li Cheng Zhi's manager informed her about what Li Cheng Zhi had planned to do she was feeling a bit better. At night when she heard from her son that he had achieved what he wanted it was like a booster for her.
Fu Ming Zhu spent most of her time with her daughter that she did not have any time for other tasks. So she hadn't even been bothered about what her husband was doing nowadays. Li Shu Chen was spending more and more time away from home. Li Shu Chen daily returned to the Li family house late at night or he did not come back at all for the past one week. Since Fu Ming Zhu was trying to make sure her husband does not know about what Li Cheng Zhi did to Li Zi Yun, she thought it was better if he stayed out for some time. When Fu Ming Zhu asked him about being away from home, he replied that he was busy at work. Since the situation at the company was not very good, she did not quiz him further. What Fu Ming Zhu did not know was Li Shu Chen enjoying his life with a young girl. Fu Ming Zhu came out for lunch with some of the women who were part of the social ladies club.
The young girl whom Assistant Liu Guang sent to Li Shu Chen was successfully executing their plans. Assistant Liu Guang had taken care and carefully selected the girl. The girl was a young prostitute and her age was barely nineteen. Li Shu Chen was tensed thinking about all the problems in his life that were tiring him. When the young girl came to his office and spoke sweetly, he couldn't take his eyes off her. The young girl looked just like the innocent Fu Ming Zhu who seduced him before several years.
The girl had an innocent face and he was looking at her the same way he looked at Fu Ming Zhu. Without much thought, he spent all his time with the young girl. She was his get away from all the problems. Since Fu Ming Zhu had already told him that she will take care of Li Zi Yun and make sure Li Zi Yun sleeps with old Gao, without any worry, Li Shu Chen was spending his time in the young girls arms.
