Feng Jianyu "….."
"Feng Dingxiong?", He narrowed his eyes at her.
She smiled heartily and nodded her head like a pecking chicken.
Feng Jianyu looked at her face and his heart skipped a beat. For a moment everything around him froze and he could not feel or hear anything. The way her lips curled up, the way a deep dimple on her right cheek crinkled, her face glowing with the excitement, her eyes shining like stars, this is the first time he has seen her smiling so heartily. Her smile was a direct arrow that went straight into his heart.
He gulped and licked his lips, "Cough… Please get me a glass of cold water".
She immediately brought a glass of water and gave it to him.
"Thank you"
He finished the whole glass and sighed.
She was still standing there smiling beautifully.
"Sir, have you met President Feng?", she asked shyly.
Feng Jianyu "…."
'Met? I have come into this world because of his sperm, silly girl!', He scoffed thinking about it.
"No! I have never met her", He lied to her. "But tell me why you are interested in Feng Dingxiong? He is too old for you."
Hearing this Alice was horrified, "Sir, What are you thinking? I am not that type of girl. I don't like President Feng."
He frowned, "You don't like him? Then what do you want from him?"
"Sir, I admire him… He is my idol…"
"Why?"
She rolled her eyes at him, "Give me a second". Dragging a chair towards his table, she sits down opposite him, "Sir, he is a legend in the business world. Feng Corporation was nothing when Mr. Feng Dingxiong took over the company from his father. But now, it has become one of the biggest company in this world".
Feng Jianyu was quietly listening to her theory about his father. But he was more attracted to her way of speaking. It was as if she was talking about her favorite actor and no one could stop her at the moment. Sometimes she would make her eyes big, sometimes smile mischievously, sometimes move her hands blankly in the air and sometimes bite her lips.
"His educational qualifications are unbelievable. He is a topper of Harvard University and has two Ph.D.'s in economics and Investment strategy. At the age of 21, he joined his family business."
"His skills are unprecedented, he always looks above profitability, and long-term potential over near-term financial gain, which has been noted as rare in business processes. Because of his excellent leadership, his employees create products and services that are at least 10 times better than those of its competitors. Isn't this amazing?"
She keeps on blabbering about Feng Dingxiong nonstop for 2 hours. It was almost like she has herself done Ph.D. on him.
Feng Jianyu was already aware of his father's achievements. Hearing her babble about his father, he concluded that she is not interested in his father but his business skills.
He stopped her," Yes! He is indeed amazing! So you are interested in his business skills, Right?"
"Yes, I want to use his business skills".
"Use business skills? How?"
"Sir, no personal questions.", she retorted.
He took a deep breath, "Answer this one question, and I will make you meet Feng Dingxiong once".
Listening to this, her eyes shone, "Really? Promise?"
"Promise!"
"Ok! I have capability and talent, but I don't have business skills. I want to collaborate with him for a business partnership. Under his guidance, I want to launch my precious product in the future".
"Precious product? What product?", he asked curiously.
"Sorry sir, you asked to answer only one question", she declined to answer anything further.
Feng Jianyu squinted his eyes, 'Is this girl really interested in a business partnership with my father? Does she have any other motive? She is willing to reject 25 million $? What product does she have?'
"But I have heard that he has retired from the position of Feng Corporation 6 months back. His elder son had taken over his position." He cleared her facts.
"What? Did he retire? Oh no!"
"It's ok! His elder son is equally good. In fact, he is also a topper of Harvard University… cough"
"No way! Must be a spoiled young brat. It does not mean if a father is a genius then his son will also be a genius." She disdained Feng Jianyu unknowingly.
"Feng Jianyu "...."
He clenched his fists tightly, 'Spoiled brat? Really? What if I strangle you here, silly girl… How dare you call me a spoiled brat? I am not'.
Raising his brows he asked, "So this means that you are not interested in Feng Corporation now?"
She scoffed, "Of course I am interested! Seeing my amazing product, no company can reject me. But I want to work only with him. When I will meet them, I will put this condition that I want to work with Feng Dingxiong only." She said proudly.
'What product does she have?'
He huffed, "Alright! But can you tell me how you are going to do this? Meeting Feng Dingxiong is almost impossible".
"Yes, I know! I went to his office but the watchman didn't even allow me to enter the premises"
"You went to the company?"
She pouted her lips and nodded her head.
"I have an idea! You are good at computers, why don't you hack their servers and grab their attention".
"NO NO NO! Although using unfair means I can easily contact them, but then where is my trustworthiness? Trust once broken can never be regained. They will never do business with me in the future", shaking her head like a rattle drum she replied.
Feng Jianyu was getting more and more impressed by her. The more he talks with her, the more he gets attracted towards her. He has never seen a girl like this in his life. With every passing minute, he is getting more adamant to get her for his company.
"Then I think there is only one way for you to enter Feng Corporation".
She pursed her lips, "You mean entering in this competition?"
"Yes! Grab the chance! Opportunities don't knock twice. You will regret later if you don't grab it on time."
She didn't reply to anything and started thinking about something.
Feng Jianyu was quietly looking at her, he was 90% sure that she will say yes. Her goals can only be accomplished under Feng Corporation.
"I was thinking same since last night. But I don't think I can enter this competition." She said in a mosquito-like voice. But he heard it.
"Why? "
"Two things! One, I don't have a degree in computer. Second, I need time to prepare but who will work in this coffee house in my absence?"
"Where is it mentioned that you require a degree? Even I don't have any degree in computer."
He was doubtful that she might not have a degree, so he had asked his assistant to change this point. This year anybody can appear in this exam, whether they have a degree or not.
He leaned back on the chair lazily, "And as far as your other problem is concerned, I can assign someone to replace you for the time being. But in return, you have to teach me".
She looked at him, "Sir, why are you doing this?"
He smirked, "Give and take! I will give you a chance to sit for this exam and you will help me to prepare for the exam."
Feng Jianyu thought, 'In order to teach, me you will brush your concepts daily and then practice it with me. Learning from you is a bonus for me.'
"But I will be your competitor? Are you ok with that?"
He dismissed her doubt, "Oh come on! I am not stingy and neither I am afraid of competition. If you will teach me then I have better chances to win this competition."
She got up from her seat and looked at him, "Then it's a deal. You can come here from tomorrow."
He frowned, "No! Not here".
