Capítulo 44: Coming

After the ride from the Ferris wheel, Xiong Zhi brought Linfeng to the photo booth. The last step of their plan.

Song Xuantin said to not lose this chance to take a picture. If things went bad in the future, they could use this as a backup plan. How? Xiong Zhi doesn't know. After taking a picture together in the photo booth, they went to the souvenir store.

Xiong Zhi was looking at the souvenirs. She went to the key chain area where Linfeng's was. Linfeng also wanted to buy a key chain. Xiong Zhi was debating herself self which was good, the one to her right, or the left? Until she saw in counter a key chain with a different design that could be customized. Her eyes brightened and she glanced at Linfeng who was checking a key chain designed from a Ferris wheel.

Xiong Zhi walked towards the counter and pointed at the key chain that attracted her attention. After giving instructions to the stuff, in just a few minutes, they give it to her and she paid. Linfeng also paid for his key chain.

Linfeng called Mr. Ji. After twenty minutes he came and they all left.

Half an hour passed and they arrived at Xiong mansion. Linfeng came out first and opened the door for Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi came out and Linfeng followed her until they came at the bottom of the stairs. The usual spot where Linfeng waited for Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi stared at Linfeng. She wanted to say something but in the end, she just sighed and said instead.

"Can I see your key chain?"

Linfeng was startled at her question but still reach for his key chain and held it out.

Xiong Zhi stared at it. It was ten centimeters long and 5 cm wide. The same size of her key chain but hers was a little wider. Then she touched it, felt it on her hands. She reached out for her own key chain. Linfeng looked at it but Xiong Zhi's hand was blocking everything, holding the key chain tightly. Xiong Zhi turned her back, and then she turned around again to face Linfeng. She put the key chain in Linfeng hands and she closed it.

"Thanks for today. I'm really glad you accompany me. This day is unforgettable and will be one of my precious memories. I hope we can create more of this in the future." Then she let out an embarrassing smile and run upstairs.

Linfeng was a little startled at her actions. But then he smiled. He looked at his hand that was still closed by Xiong Zhi. He was about to put it in his pocket when he felt that the key chain was a little different. Like it became wider. He took it out to study it. And when he saw it, his face became red.

'This....'

But he recovered soon and put it in his pocket. His young miss probably mistaken and she thought she put what was his. Well, he will just return it tomorrow.

But on the way, he could not help to took it out again and examined it. Tracing his name and her name, he smiled bashfully.

'Today ahh....is really unforgettable...'

________________

The next day was refreshing and Xiong Zhi wanted to check the company. Since it was Sunday, there was no Linfeng. But it did not falter her good mood.

On her way, she received a text from Xiao Mei that her grandmother already undergoes surgery and now recovering. Xiao Mei said that they could talk about the contract today. Xiong Zhi replied to Xiao Mei the address of IHZHI and told her to meet there.

After an hour's drive, she arrived at the small office of IHZHI.

The guard greets her and Xiong Zhi nodded.

Arriving at her office, the emptiness was gone and was replaced by young workers. There at least twelve of them who were busying their selves in front of the computer, some were on the telephone, the others were studying the papers.

Xiong Zhi's good mood brightened more seeing the enthusiastic people. The employees were busy that they did not notice her arrival. Xiong Zhi went directly to one of the exclusive offices. She knocked and entered.

"---of course, we will send over to you the papers as soon as possible. Thank you for trusting us....yes....thank you once again." Fang Dien put down the phone and walk towards Xiong Zhi. He bowed and greeted,

"Good day, Ms--"Xiong Zhi cut him by raising her hand.

"No need for formalities. I'll speak to you directly, and you also do that for me."

Fang Dien just nodded and offered his seat to Xiong Zhi. But Xiong Zhi ignored him and sat in the guest's seat. She once mentioned it before. Fang Dien was IHZHI's CEO.

Fang Dien sat again in his chair and began reporting.

"Out of fifteen projects from different companies you told me to invest. We secured five. It went smoothly. Three were in contact, and the two companies will give their answers tomorrow. " Fang Dien said while handing some documents to Xiong Zhi. Xiong Zhi was skimming it while listening.

"We haven't contacted the other three projects. But by Tuesday we will visit them."

Xiong Zhi just nodded urging Fang Dien to continue.

"And the other two....were rejected." Xiong Zhi quickly looked up at Fang Dien waiting for an explanation.

"The DV project was contacted earlier than us by Sheng Cun (SC) company. And they already signed a contract the moment we arrived--" Xiong Zhi raised her brow.

"And the other one..was also signed by SC company."

"How did we lose to the other one?" Xiong Zhi asked.

"By auction. SC contacted them first, after a day we contacted them. Then they let us compete with SC. However, SC was stubborn. They gave a very low interest. While the least I could give was 10%. So I give up the project."

Xiong Zhi contemplated for a moment. After a while she said.

"You did a good choice."
