Chapter 255: Coughing a Few Liters Of Blood

Days passed with Xiao Yun finding herself drowned under numerous of works that piled up as the competition was getting nearer. Looking around her table of interview requests, sales report, and upcoming sales management for the future project a yawn loosely fled from her lips.

Zi Gong gave a light knock on her office, answering her reply, he opened the door to see the piles of documents mounting over her desk and inclined his side in question. When it was true that Azure was getting fired up in the fashion industry each hour, the documents of the company shouldn't be that much. Wondering what documents it might be, he brought the food tray on his hand and placed the coffee mug beside her right hand.

"You're here to bring the coffee?" She asked as she took off her PC eyeglasses slightly to wipe the tears formed after her yawning. "You could have asked Ri or En for that." She said mentioning the office girls that usually helped around the company.

"They were in a bind with adjusting the schedule and as I was free, I took the chores for now." This have Xiao Yun to rub her chin. "Our company is getting larger we should purchase a new building and hire more people too."

"I was here to discuss that matter with you, boss." Zi Gong placed down another document that he brought under the food tray. "This is the two shops branches we open in our city here, Guangzhou. The rest are the locations for the upcoming new branches in other City."

"Hm." Xiao Yun tapped her fingers on the side of the desk, her eyes moved from lines to lines. "Have we gotten a hold with the land owner of the new shop in Chongqing?"

"Yes, this morning they had replied to the emails we've sent a day ago. I've forward the contents to your email, boss." Xiao Yun nodded, pulling her eyeglasses, she pinched the skin between her brows. Seeing how tired and down in fatigue Xiao Yun was, Zi Gong stared at her eye bag in concern.

As fortunate they were that the company was expanding in alacrity, the works and order they received were too much to shoulder for their still-small company. Not only did it placed pressure, Xiao Yun as the CEO of the company almost took a sixty percent of the works meanwhile Zi Gong was assigned to keep a look in every stores they've opened. The last two days to note was the busiest day of their company. Rains of interviews request and media from magazines who received a tip off from an anonymous person saying that they received the invitation to the Spring Fashion Competition made it even harder for them to take a break.

Tapping to her laptop again, Xiao Yun felt her eyes that had been staring to the wide screen for hours turned blurry and decided to close her work for now. Working hard was good but she also didn't want to ruin her health which could affect the future.

"Uh," Zi Gong hesitantly let a sound. "Boss, also have you seen the billboards in Anliu Street?!"

"Billboard?" Xiao Yun repeated, wondering what he meant as she recalled. "You mean the photo shoot that I've taken a few days ago?" Zi Gong nodded intensely, placing his tablet in the desk for Xiao Yun to see the best picture they chose was the one that she took with Wang Li Lei. Hearing the name of the street, Xiao Yun quirked up. Coincidentally Anliu Street was also the street where Golden Tree's main building company was. 

If Lin Chang Lu saw the billboard she would probably cough up a few liters of blood by now. Perhaps Lin Chang Lu would never guess the man she hug was Wang Li Lei but seeing her face everyday smiling provocatively would leave her a nightmare.

"That's a great news." Zi Gong agreed, not knowing the deeper meaning of Xiao Yun's words.

"Yes! Also, what is this documents for, boss?" He gave glances to the documents.

Xiao Yun smiled, placing down her eyeglasses. "This is the documents from my father's company for our future reference. We are going to deal and contract with more people now, I don't have time to study these at home so I brought it here. This is also good for you Zi Gong, you could take a look if you have time."

Should he, really? Zi Gong knew well that Xiao Yun was an excellent boss and a kind one. However didn't she said it was the documents from her father company's? Wouldn't it affect her greatly if he took all the information and ran off with it? But seeing Xiao Yun he knew that she wasn't acting careless. She believed in the man as much as he believed in her. Xiao Yun was a person who would give her subordinates a work that suit them and particularly only to the loyal one. She also felt that before work, trust came first in business.

"I will another time." Zi Gong took his food tray, holding it in his chest and added. "Boss, didn't you ask me for a recommendation for an anniversary present?"

Ah! Xiao Yun finally recalled three days ago before she was tied by her works she did ask him for that. As Old Madam and Old Master Wangs' anniversary party was near, the highlight of the party wasn't only their engagement publication but also their anniversary birthday. Now that she think about it, in her past life what did she presented to them? They disliked her so much that their expression would turn dull by catching the faintest glimpse of her.

She was still eighteen, meaning in the past she had only just began to fall for Wang Li Lei and forgot of her ex-crush Kou Xin Lin. But as she was gullible she perhaps did something very foolish and embarrassing that deepened Wangs' grandparents greatly. Although she can't clearly remember what did she do, she recalled them to almost cursed at her outright.

But that was weird Xiao Yun rethought, subconsciously picking a speed at her finger which had been tapping for a full three minutes.

She didn't remember bringing Qu Mei Xing with her at the time, after all due to her graduation, Qu Mei Xing was busy in other things and forgot of the party. Then, what happened? She mustered all her brain power but nothing came up, he memories were clouded up to the part where Wangs' grandparents had their faces turned red from anger.

It had something to do with presents or perhaps guests?

But if it wasn't Qu Mei Xing, then who else? Lin Chang Lu? But she had never met the woman before until her second life. Wang Li Lei must had done something to push her out of their life that she didn't even noticed it. Rounding all her conclusion, Xiao Yun came to an epiphany. If in the party Lin Chang Lu did set up a trap to trick her, the only person who prevented it was Wang Li Lei without her knowing. That would also mean the woman will try to do something again at the day of the party.

"... CEO Wang left a word that the antiques shops in Zhiujang New Town is also to note for." Fading again to her ears was Zi Gong's voice who had been reporting her of the places she should visit. Receiving no reaction from Xiao Yun, he called. "Boss?"

"Yes?" Xiao Yun turned her eyes at him a little surprised. "Yes, Zhiujang New Town wasn't it? That's a good suggestion I was also thinking of visiting there." She can't let her guard down even for a moment. Lin Chang Lu would do the same trick as her past but she wouldn't let her repeat it again.

"Then will you take a break and go there now, boss?" He suggested.

"Yes." Xiao Yun stood up from her seat, taking her purse she went out of the building.
