Fang Jie: Needless to say, it must be something good eh?
Daniel: Are you on tinder date or something?
Mei zhen: Our parents are discussing my marriage with Yan tonight!
Daniel & Kris: MARRIAGE?!
Fang Jie: That's..surprising. Wang Yan agreed to it? That's not like him.
Kris Ler: This Yan is unbelievable. Is this a shot gun marriage? Are you pregnant?!
Daniel: I didn't know our boss...likes to take shortcut.. LOL
Mei zhen: Be ready to receive our wedding invite soon!

7pm, Royal W Hotel, Staff Lounge
Woman 1: Look, isn't she the one who had lunch with President Wang earlier?
Woman 2: I don't know what's so special about her? She looked ordinary!
Woman 3: Maybe she exchanged sexual favours!
Woman 1: omg..that is possible! No wonder she could get promoted to executive level the moment she joined!
Woman 2: Goodness, she's so sl*tty!
The employees in the lounge gossiping about Ziwei and Wang Yan having lunch earlier that caused a stir among the staffs.
Ziwei was just packing her stuff even though she could hear the gossips. Ziwei was helpless. Just in time...a voice travelled through the staff lounge...
"It seems like you ladies been slacking off on your job to be able to be gossiping here..." A man stood behind the 3 nosy women. It was Renxi and Manager Zhang.
"Mr Renxi! Nn..no, no.. you must have misunderstood!" Woman 1 was scared to wits, seeing President Wang's personal assistant, they knew it was a huge mistake to have even started the conversation.
"Manager Zhang, looks like you have to discipline your employees well. It wouldn't be nice if these gossip travels to President Wang." Renxi patted on Manager Zhang's shoulder as he walked towards Ziwei.
"Of course, Mr Renxi. 3 of you, to report to my office after your duties." Manager Zhang warned the 3 women.
"Ms Ziwei." Renxi greeted. "Renxi...thank you for standing up for me." Ziwei muttered. "Ms Ziwei, it was nothing, they shouldn't have called you names. Here, a set of clothes for you to change into." Renxi handed over a bag of clothes.
"Clothes..?" Ziwei was dumbfounded. "President Wang have specifically suggested to wear these which will be more appropriate for the appointment later. Rest assure, i've gotten the right sizes for you." Renxi smiled gently.
Ziwei received the clothes and got changed after she was done with her duties.

"Director Wang! I sincerely apologize for being late! Got caught up in the traffic." Mei zhen's mother, bowed as she entered the restaurant with Mei zhen and her father, Chairman Gao. He is one of the influential business man in Shanghai and Beijing.
"Ahh do not worry about that! It is basic manners that the men wait for the ladies!" Father Wang laughed. "Where is Wang Yan? Is he not coming?" Chairman Gao asked, when he don't see Wang Yan in sight.
"Of course not, he is at the washroom, will be here any minute soon!"
"Chairman Gao, Madam Gao." Wang Yan greet as he enter the private room. There he is. To Wang Yan, this is just merely a business dinner.

Father Wang: About Yan and Mei zhen's marriage, should we arrange an auspicious date?
Chairman Gao: Of course! It is necessary the Gao Holdings only daughter need to have a good date!
Madam Gao: We should arrange a press conference to announce their engagement!
Wang Yan: Madam Gao, i have not propose to Mei zhen yet...
Madam Gao: ....
Mei zhen: Don't worry mother, i'm sure Wang Yan will take me to choose our engagement rings! He've been busy recently.
Father Wang: Ahhh no matter how busy he is, he is still a man! This is a man's job.
Wang Yan: I will take care of it.

As the elders are choosing an auspicious date over the dinner, Wang Yan looked uninterested. Mei zhen raise her glass of wine offering a toast to Wang Yan lovingly. "Cheers to our engagement, Yan".
The elders suddenly stopped chattering after they saw Wang Yan returned the toast. "Ahhhh look at this perfect pair of loving couple! I envy them so much!" Madam Gao teased. Wang Yan took a glance at his wrist watch, when suddenly...
*CRASH* *GLASS SHATTERING*
The waiter 'accidentally' slipped and spilled a bowl of Lobster bisque soup onto Mei zhen's white dress! Wang Yan looked at the waiter, oddly. Mei zhen's mother gasped in horror and anger.
That waiter....was Daniel in disguise! Daniel was wearing a wig, a pair of ugly glasses and some stick-on moustache that no one could tell that is Daniel Chen! But..what is he doing?
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!" Daniel apologized profusely as he tried to wiped off the soup, worsening the condition on purpose. "Keep your hands off my daughter! Get out!" Madam Gao yelled, causing the Restaurant Manager to check what happened.
"Madam Gao, let me send Mei zhen back, it wouldn't be nice if someone snap pictures of her like this" Wang Yan suggested as he stood up hovering Mei zhen's shoulders.
"Wang Yan you're so thoughtful towards our Mei zhen! Please go ahead!" Madam Gao agreed.
Wang Yan led Mei zhen out of the restaurant, as Daniel winked with a grin on his face without anyone noticing.
This must be Wang Yan's doing to get Daniel to help him get out of this dinner so that he could meet Ziwei! "Renxi, send Mei zhen back." Wang Yan ordered. "Aren't you sending me back? Yan?" Mei zhen asked sadly.
"Sorry Mei zhen, i have something to attend to. Renxi will take you home instead." Wang Yan patted on her shoulder and hopped on his black Maserati quattroport, leaving Mei zhen to Renxi.
