It is getting dark. Leng Weiwei sits on the balcony with a glass of self-made martini. She tastes it slowly.
She likes night best, when it is silent and dark around. Only when in such circumstance can she feel herself and truly hear the voice of her heart.
Other people are sleeping. The scenery is sleeping. But she is awake. It is very comfortable.
At this moment, she belongs to herself. She is free.
Suddenly, she tightens her hand holding the glass. Unconsciously, she reaches for the knife between her legs.
Some noise is heard behind. When it gets to her, she freezes her eyes and gets ready to fight. But she hears a bang, followed by the sound of someone falling down.
Oh?
Leng Weiwei turns to look and sees a black object on the ground. She smells blood in the air.
“Who’s that?” She asks alertly.
Someone gives a long sigh and responds in a hoarse voice, “Weiwei, I want…to have the martini in your hand…Ahem!”
Hearing the voice, Leng Weiwei tightens her nerves at once. It is Yi Yuntian!
Leng Weiwei turns on the light. She finds that Yi Yuntian half couches on the ground with his hand covering his belly. Blood flows on the ground.
As if she is suddenly stuck by something, Leng Weiwei feels her heart ache. She says nothing and goes to check on Yi Yuntian’s wound.
Yi Yuntian looks at Leng Weiwei who is checking at him worriedly. He softens his eyes, “Weiwei, the wine…”
Leng Weiwei lifts to stare at him. She stands up and goes to take that glass of martini for him.
Yi Yuntian gently smiles. He holds out his hand and wants to take it over. But to his surprise, Leng Weiwei holds the glass and pours all the wine on his wound.
“Ah…” Yi Yuntian groans. He frowns tightly. After quite a while, he says, “Sweetie, do you… want to … kill your lovely husband?”
“Why didn’t you go to the hospital?” Leng Weiwei asks in a low voice. She removes his clothes and finds a knife wound of around 5 centimeters long. Blood is flowing from it.
“I can’t go to the hospital now.” Yi Yuntian puts down his hand. He breathes heavily, “I can’t go until dawn.”
Leng Weiwei frowns. If he doesn’t go to the hospital until dawn. He won’t need to go to the hospital, but to the funeral parlor instead!
Yi Yuntian is a man living on the edge. It is not surprising that he may encounter with knife fighting and blood. But he has a lot of bodyguards with him and he seldom gets hurt. Based on the wound, it was made in close distance. It is imaginable how dangerous it was at that time.
Could Yi Yuntian be sold by his own people?
On the way here, Yi Yuntian has lost a lot of blood. It seems that he can’t withstand long. Leng Weiwei doesn’t hesitate. She supports Yi Yuntian to stand up, “I will help you treat the wound. You have to withstand the pain.”
For a split moment, Yi Yuntian’s eyes gleam in surprise. He smiles, “OK. I am all yours tonight.”
Leng Weiwei rolls her eyes at him. She impolitely “drops” Yi Yuntian on the bed, “OK. Remember your words. Don’t whine!”
Then, Leng Weiwei turns to go downstairs. Soon, she comes back with a medicine kit and some knives in her hand.
Yi Yuntian lifts his eyebrows. His eyes gleam in admiration. He puts on a bigger smile, “Seemingly, Leng Weiwei brand steamed bun stuffed with human meat will be available tomorrow.”
Leng Weiwei feels speechless to hear Yi Yuntian’s words. She puts down the medicine kit and the things. Then, she holds Yi Yuntian’s clothes and puts on an evil smile on the edge of her mouth. She forcefully tears his clothes apart.
It cracks.
“Ah…Sweetie, be gentle…”
It is about half past one in the afternoon in front of a famous restaurant.
“OK. Zhiyuan, we may meet again when we have time.”
Zhou Mengyao smiles. Beside her stands a man who is in his fifties. He looks very smart with his square face. He nods, “As long as you call, I will come to help you at once. Yao, don’t worry.”
They talk for another while. Then, the man gets in the car and leaves. Zhou Mengyao looks at the leaving car. She stands there for quite a while and then she turns to Xia Ning, “Ning, in your opinion, how is this Uncle Wang?”
Xia Ning feels a little confused. She smiles, “Aunt Zhou, I am not as good as you in knowing people. However, I trust you. The man you like must be excellent.”
Zhou Mengyao shakes her head, “No. Ning, I want to hear your true opinions.”
Xia Ning thinks for a while, “In my opinion, this Uncle Wang is good. He is quite a shot.”
Zhou Mengyao asked her out for lunch. When they came, Wang Zhiyuan has been waiting in the restaurant. Zhou Mengyao didn’t give any detailed introduction, but briefly told her that the surname of him was Wang. They talked for over an hour. Seemingly, this Uncle Wang was an old friend of Zhou Mengyao and they got along well in the past.
“So, you get a good impression of him?”
Xia Ning nods, “Yes. I learned a lot from him.”
“Hum. You surely can learn a lot from him.” Zhou Mengyao is implying something. At the time, the Rolls-Royce has come. She says, “Let’s go back to the company.”
Xia Ning gets in the car and the car goes to the branch office of Junhao Group.
Yesterday, she came out from Yi Villa and stayed in a hotel outside. Then, she found that Junhao Group also had a branch office in B City.
According to Zhou Mengyao, she wants to set up a domestic headquarters to manage the business in China.
There are quite a lot of properties and companies under Junhao Group in B City. But Xia Ning is surprised that Diwang Group Entertainment Company also belongs to Junhao Group.
Diwang Group Entertainment Company is a subsidiary of Junhao Group. Its business includes discs production and distribution, music publishing, artist management, concert preparation, living theatres creation, film and television production and multimedia at home and abroad. It is very famous in B City. It is the cradle for popular artists in the current music industry. Many of its singers have won numerous awards in annual ceremonies.
Quite some famous stars are even Xia Ning’s idols. So, when she arrives at Diwang Group Entertainment Company, she feels shocked.
Xia Ning follows Zhou Mengyao. On the way, many people bow to greet Zhou Mengyao. They look at Xia Ning surprisedly. Xia Ning smiles and doesn’t speak anything. To all people here, she is a newcomer, who suddenly comes out of nowhere.
Zhou Mengyao goes into the President Office. There has been someone waiting inside. It is a tall and beautiful woman. When she sees Zhou Mengyao, she greets coyly, “President!”
Hearing the voice, Xia Ning unconsciously shiver with cold.
Zhou Mengyao nods and sits down. The beautiful woman sends her a cup of coffee at once, “President, this is your favorite Blue Mountain coffee.”
Blue Mountain coffee? Xia Ning feels surprised. Didn’t Zhou Mengyao say that she liked latte most?
Zhou Mengyao emotionlessly glances at the Blue Mountain coffee. She turns to Xia Ning, “Ning, have a seat. Don’t stand there.”
“Oh. Yes.” Xia Ning sits down.
The beautiful woman sees this. She turns pale but returns to normal at once, “Miss, what do you like to drink?”
“I am good. Thank you.”
Zhou Mengyao glances at the documents on the desk. She slightly screws her eyes and closes the file. She turns to Xia Ning, “Ning, you may walk around with Ya to get familiar with the company here.”
Xia Ning nods, “OK.”
“Ya, you lead the way for Ning to walk around all the major departments for her to get familiar with them.” Zhou Mengyao says casually.
Ya looks at Zhou Mengyao for a little while. But she can’t find any information from Zhou Mengyao’s face. She feels a little confused. She turns to Xia Ning. When she sees Xia Ning smiling, she can’t help looking down upon her.
The woman must be a new assistant hired by President Zhou. She comes to take away her position!
She has been working in Diwang Group Entertainment Company for over a year. It is not a very long time, but she can’t remember how many assistants were fired during the time. Seemingly, this is another to be fired soon.
She is a beauty. But what Diwang Group lacks least is beautiful women! She, Xiaoya, won’t be fired because she has someone supporting her behind.
She may see how long this woman can stay!
Thinking about this, Xiaoya reduces her smile and her tone sounds a little indifferent, “Miss, this way please.”
“OK. Thank you.” Xia Ning nods and goes after Xiaoya.
When the door is closed. The smile on Zhou Mengyao’s face disappears at once. She takes out the phone and dials a number, “Zhiyuan, I have something to discuss with you.”
Xiaoya leads Xia Ning to walk around all the department briefly. Diwang Entertainment Company is a large company. But it takes less than half an hour for them to walk around and come back to the President Office. Xiaoya says that she is tired and leads Xia Ning to the Tea Room.
Xiaoya never gets herself wronged. She slowly makes two cups of wine and passes one cup to Xia Ning, leaving the other one for herself. She asks, “Well, can you remember the supervisors of all the departments?”
Supervisors of all the department? Xia Ning smiles in her heart.
Xiaoya just led her to go and pass. She didn’t even see what the supervisors looked like, not to mention remembering them.
She is clear what Xiaoya wants.
The beautiful woman is afraid that Xia Ning may take away her position.
Thinking about this, Xia Ning responds emotionlessly, “Yes, basically.”
“I hope you do. Or, when President Zhou asks you about that, if you say no, I will be blamed for that. Many people did that. I hope you drop your idea.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t do that.” Xia Ning doesn’t need to do that.
Xiaoya checks over Xia Ning from head to toe again. Then she draws the conclusion that she can ignore Xia Ning.
But she wonders why Xia Ning suddenly shows up here. She knows nothing about Xia Ning. So, she may need to do an investigation as soon as possible.
“You may stay here for a while. I have some other things to do. I will be back soon. Don’t go to other places.”
Then, Xiaoya turns to walk away.
Xia Ning puts on a mild smile. She knows what Xiaoya is going to do. Xiaoya looks absent-minded. She is tricky. However, Xia Ning feels confused that Xiaoya even didn’t ask what her surname is. How can she do any investigations on her?
