Chapter 9 - Fang Dien (I)

The clock was ticking and pointing at two. In the quiet night, the sound of clicking could be heard in a dark, spacious room. Click Click Click Xiong Zhi sat on her bed with her laptop on her lap. She was browsing a certain website. Since she made a deal with her grandfather, Xiong Zhi did not waste any time. She only had four years to make her company big. After her meal with her grandfather at that time, she recalled all the companies and projects that became successful in the business industry. Including the big shots who would rise in seven years. Xiong Zhi made advantage of her rebirth. She did not care if she looked like she was cheating. She would make use of everything in it. She was grateful that even though she did not care or take any action in the business industry, she still kept herself updated. It was good that she was blessed with a good memory. Once she reads or listens to something, it will never be erased from her mind, even if she did not pay any attention to it. She had an assumption that she had a photographic memory. When she saw a petroleum company, she remembered something. She took her small notebook and wrote some words. Click She exited the website and read some news. 'Senator Long found guilty in Opening new houses for squatters' fund corruption!' 'Pork-barrel of Chief Secretary Xim released! 21 people involved were being investigated' 'CJ's controversy: Fake diamonds? Secretary Xiao Mei, the mastermind' 'Vincent Co and Que Lu marriage date: Next month?' Xiong ZZhi's lips curled up slightly. She had found what she was looking for. She wrote some notes in her notebook. After browsing for more, Xiong felt sleepy and called it a day. ________________________________ Today, Xiong Zhi was dressed in simple jeans, a white tank top, a black jacket, running rubber shoes, and a cap. There was no school today. She was looking at the phone that Linfeng gave her. She was thinking whether she should call Linfeng and tell him she was going out, and if he wanted to accompany her. After a while, she put her phone back in her pocket, deciding she would not call. Her life and Linfeng's life were separated right now. For all the aides that work for Xiong, they could only stay at Xiong's mansion after they became twenty-one. So right now, Linfeng was not obliged to her beck and call. She also wants Linfeng to live his life. She had a feeling that Linfeng was planning something, like preparing for something. Those eyes of Linfeng were saying it would not stay only with Xiong. Like her, he was probably making himself stronger. 'Linfeng...in time...I will settle my things for you. Just wait. Wait for me.' Xiong Zhi went to her driver and then left. Upstairs, an old man was leaning on the window, looking at the car that had left. " Min, had someone follow Zhi'er [1]? Just stay far and protect her. Don't let her know. Don't interrupt any of her business. "? Old Xiong said. "En." Zhou Min made some quick calls. "I will notify my son--" Zhou Min started. "No need. He's not twenty-one yet. Let him have his freedom now." "En." After a while, Old Xiong said. "Do you think my granddaughter would succeed? In a mere four years.... How could she make a company she just built become big in just four years? Is it possible a company made by a sixteen-year-old girl to succeed, not just to mention in just four years?" "I don't doub, the Young Miss. Young Miss Zhi is very smart and talented. And from what I saw from that deal, she was very determined. She would surely succeed." Zhou Min answered. " Hahaha! I trust your judgment. Do you know why I agreed to her deal? Because of her determination. To think it through, it was possible to achieve her goal. She was still young. But it's good. She can prove her worth. If she makes a pleasant surprise, I probably won't need the grandson of that Old Guan anymore. I will have my successor. " Old Xiong dreamily said. "But...how about your deal with the Guan family?" Old Xiong's smile froze when he suddenly realized something. "Ah! I forgot to mention this deal to Old Guan. Just call him and tell him to make time to have dinner with me. We need to settle this." Old Xiong said while massaging his forehead. "I have heard some news. Some days ago, his grandson came here from overseas." Zhou Min said, hinting at something. "How can I forget! That's the reason why I send Zhi'er to school. If Zhi'er knows this, she will think broke the deal." Old Xiong understood what Zhou Min was hinting at. He made a deal years ago with Old Guan, the head of the Guan family. They arranged a marriage to expand their business and dominate the business world. Her granddaughter, the first descendant, and his youngest? Grandson was chosen as their pawn. It was true that Old Xiong did not care about any of his family members. If they behaved, he would keep them, but if they embarrassed him, he would cut ties with them without second thought. Old Xiong was never fond of any of his sons and daughters, nor his grandsons and granddaughters. But he made a deal with her eldest granddaughter, Zhi'er. And he was a man of his word. However, he also made a deal with Old Guan, and his grandson was already in the country, attending the same school as Zhi'er. He knew what iitmeant O.ld Guan took a step now. "I need to meet with Old Guan as soon as possible. He probably mentioned it to his grandson." Old Xiong said. "En, I will prepare for it." Zhou Min complied. ________________________________ A black car was parked in front of the police station. Inside the police station, a gorgeous young man was sitting in front of a police officer. Beside the gorgeous man was a middle-aged man with a big body. One tall man wearing a suit entered the room with a black suitcase in hand. "Good morning, I'm the lawyer of Mr. Su y myame is Wei Fan." The tall man said while shaking hands with the police officer. Yesterday evening, Mr. Fang harassed my client. He wanted to sleep with Mr. Su so that Mr. S ? could iinvest in heir project proposal. But Mr. Su was a straight man and did not want to sleep with him, so he rejected him. However, Mr. Fang assaulted Mr. Su by using force. If not for the waiter serving them, Mr. Su had been offended by this man, " the lawyer said in one breath. "Liar! You are speaking nonsense! It was I who was assaulted by Mr. Su!" The gorgeous man said with rage. This gorgeous man was Fang Dien, who was being charged as the offender. He gritted his teeth. He could not believe that this shameless bastard would go this far. He met this bastard two months ago because of a project proposal. The bastard was none other than the middle-aged man in the room, Mr. Su. Mr. Su had been pestering him for two months. Mr. Su was the representative of an investment company. He, as the accountant from the petroleum company, had nothing to do with representing the project to the investors. But those shameless fools, their head directors, used him to lure this bastard. He was just told to give the file to one of the directors in the conference room. He did not know he was being sacrificed as an offering to this bastard. When he went to the office, he did not disappoint his directors. He got the attention of Mr. Su. Those bastards knew that Mr. Su was fond of gorgeous young men like Fang Dien. If they got the favor of Mr. Su by giving him such a gift, he would happily agree to their proposal. So as expected, Mr. Su suggested that if he slept with him, their project proposal would be guaranteed to be invested. But Fang Dien was a man of his principles, he would never do such a disgusting thing. From ya young age, he worked hard for himself. He became an orphan when he was sixteen. Life was tough on him. He was working while studying. He finished college covered with sweats and blood. He has only slept two hours every day for years. He thought having a degree would help him have an easy life. But with his looks, he found it very difficult to find a good place to work. Before he got to the petroleum company, he had worked in two companies. He got fired from the first company because he punched their head manager. He was enraged at that time because the old man was harassing him. At first, he did not retaliate whenever he squeezed his butt. But when his wandering hands want to hold his 'thing' and say outrageous, disgusting things to hhim such as wanting to have [email?protected] with him, he could not hold himself but punched that dirty mouth of his. As a result, he got fired the next dday In the second company, he resigned.
