4 Chapter 4 : Turbulence in the Internet 1

Song Xiulan had been very busy with her project that she didn't even have the time to fuss over Xing Hongqi's extravagant flowers and very expensive jewelries. Her attention was more on the gifts that looked very tasty and can be eaten.

Hongqi sent gifts to Xiulan's office during the time he was in Singapore. His reason was that he was courting Xiulan and wanted to compensate for the lack of his presence.

When the old Song found out about it, he was bursting with Joy. Old Song can already hear the wedding bells.

Hongqi also made sure that all the people in the company knew that the gifts were from him.

He also sent some expensive cakes that Xiulan shared to her employees because they were too many and she can't eat it all by herself.

Since the employees had an idea that the cakes were from Hongqi, they posted heartwarming thankful messages towards Hongqi and to their 'boss'. They didn't wrote Xiulan's name due to privacy reasons and respect.

Some netizens were really jealous. They also wanted to eat cakes that were sent by God Hongqi.

The netizens even asked if the boss was a female or male. When they found out that the boss was female. They became suspicious of God Hongqi and suspected that he has a new woman. They suddenly got worried for Gong Yuming. It means that the young actress might get dump soon.

Now the netizens started a thread about the mysterious woman who has been receiving expensive cakes. The employees were really itching to reveal who the mystery woman was but they were all threatened by Secretary Dandan.

The thread became really popular for a few days that even Gong Yuming managed to get the scoop.

"Yuming-ah~, you better be serious with your acting workshops now. Your golden man is about to get snatched." Yuming's manager teased Yuming who is currently lying down on a wooden bamboo lounge chair.

Yuming is currently shooting for a diet juice commercial in a swimming pool. She was wearing a skimpy yellow bikini while lying on the wooden bamboo lounge chair while her assistant is fanning her with a mini electric fan.

One of Yuming's loyal fans sent this thread to Manager Yan and she has been following the Hongqi's Cakes thread. Manager Yan was also really curious who the lady boss was.

She thought that Hongqi was never a fan of dating an heiress or a CEO woman. He would always go for the models, actresses and singers. That's why she was dying to see the famous 'Hongqi's cake lady boss'.

According to the information she gathered, the woman's company was somewhere in district Y. The original posters of the cake images really have a very secretive background. They didn't add where they were working and the posts mostly are just about food and memes.

Manager Yan was really frustrated that she can't find any further info. Right now, the thread is buzzing with comments due to the red rose cream cake that Hongqi sent this morning. It was aesthetically beautiful and obviously it looks very expensive. These employees are living their life. They get to have free cakes from Hongqi just because their boss can't eat all of it.

"Manager Yan, I am confident that Hongqi will not drop me. He has been investing too much on my career and also as his woman. I doubt that will happen." Yuming overly confidently said.

Yuming lazily lay down and not one bit bothered. A person can even hear the arrogance in her tone. As expected from a woman like Yuming, she can't be bothered by things like this. She managed to snatch Hongqi from his previous lover, who is a famous international model and brand manager.

Manager Yan sneered at her little devil talent.

"This woman's guts became a mountain just because she was Hongqi's current favorite. I must remove that thinking in her head before that man throws her away. Yuming's acting gets her in trouble lately. She has a 'Hongqi safe card' that's why the directors weren't able to bully her acting." Manager Yan annoyingly thought.

She was really worried that if Hongqi drops Yuming any time soon, they will have a hard time getting gigs for her. Her talents were not that something to brag but her beautify is undeniably the reason why she's still in the game. Hongqi was bewitched by it and beauty companies are willing to invest.But ads and modeling gigs are not enough. She won't let the 'A-actress' title get removed from Yuming that soon.

"I'm just telling you to be good in acting. You don't want to embarrass Hongqi, right? Your movie The Red Witch Doctor filming will be soon. We don't want a bad reputation for you. Hongqi gave you this big role so you have to do a great job." Manager Yan scolded Yuming.

Yuming scoffed like she heard the most ridiculous thing ever.

"Manager Yan, watch me." Yuming raised her chin like a queen. "Give me my phone." Yuming cockily glanced and said to her assistant. The poor assistant immediately handed it to her.

Manager Yan raised her eyebrows while watching Yuming.

Yuming held the phone in front of her and took a selfie that she made sure that her bikini can be seen.

She grinned while sending it to Hongqi'siMessage. After only a few seconds, Hongqi replied with a text "Beautiful and sexy ♥. See you sometime soon".

Yuming cunningly looked at her manager and said "Please take a look.You don't need to worry, everything is under control". She handed the phone to her manager then sipped the ice tea that was served for her. She was grinning cunningly.

Manager Yan checked Yuming's phone and gaped at the phone screen. She can't believe that Hongqi replied and especially with such ambiguous message.

Manager Yan gave the phone back to Yuming and eyed her maliciously. She really can't believe that Hongqi is still contacting Yuming while he's courting someone out there.

Manager Yan suddenly felt bad for the other girl. She will never understand Hongqi. He seems to be playing around. It might be true that he was a total player and womanizer, but this is too extreme. He's jumping from one girl to another like he doesn't care if he will hurt them or not.

As Manager Yan remembered, the ex-girlfriend international model almost lost her mind when Hongqi broke up with her. She begged that he comes back to her but Hongqi coldly refused and devastatingly snubbed her from then on.

Yuming might be confident with herself right now but Yuming should at least think of the former lovers of Hongqi. They all went to crazy over him and refused to let go then lead them to their own destruction.

There are a lot of possibilities to what will happen and she's really worried over Yuming. Almost all of them have the same attention that Yuming was getting from Hongqi.

She must do something before Yuming consumes her delusions and hopes from Hongqi.

------------------------------

Xiulan was so immersed to her laptop that it took Secretary Dandan a few times just to get her attention.

"Sorry, what was it again?" Xiulan apologized and glanced at Secretary Dandan.

"Boss... Hongqi's secretary called just now. He said that Young Master Hongqi wanted to have dinner with you tonight at seven in High Qilin Restaurant."Dandan reported.

Xiulan's eyebrows automatically frowned. She didn't expect that he would really want to have dinner with her. She actually thought that he will meet somebody else when he comes back from Singapore.

She removed her frown and smiled to Dandan. "Got it. Please tell them I'll come. Is he in town now?" Xiulan said.

"Uhmm... actually it was an order according to Young Master Hongqi's secretary. It is mandatory to meet him tonight…" Dandan awkwardly said. "And no, he'll land soon. He's using a private jet so he will be here sooner than the regular flight."

Xiulan can't help but coldly glanced and seemingly nod at Dandan's report.

Dandan doesn't know what her boss is thinking but that sudden glanced frightened her.

"Hmm... I understand. Is there something else?" Xiulan nodded but she still has that cold look on her face.

"Uhh... they also said that you should wear something formal.... and feminine." Dandan was so scared to utter the word feminine. It's like an insult to her boss. Does her boss lack feminine touches? Do they really have to include that? Dandan thought.

Dandan saw how Xiulan's eyes rolled and sighed with contempt.

"Got it. But will you buy a dress for me? I think it's not a good idea that I have to go home just to get dressed. I know you have a better taste in fashion than I am, Dandan." Xiulan asked. Her face has a tinged of brightness but also you can see on her temple that some nerves are going to pop soon from her anger.

"Yes, of course! I'll go right away and buy it." Dandan said. She quickly excused herself and dashed outside Xiulan's office.

Xiulan was left alone with a buzzing head. She was irritated but she can't help but submit herself from the devil Hongqi. Obviously that man was no good news.

While she was working, she received an email that contained information about Hongqi from her eldest sister, Song Nuo Shu. Xiulan asked her eldest sis to get some info for her since she was a famous actress before and she owns a modeling agency.

Xiulan only looked at the message briefly since it was very long. She will read everything once she comes home later.But with that brief moment, her mood became sour. So to remove her sour mood, she immersed herself on work just to keep her thoughts away from Hongqi.

After an hour, Dandan came back and happily waved the shopping bags. There were a lot and Xiulan can't help but scrunched her nose. She thought that those dresses must have cost a lot and Dandan went hard on her credit card.

She will just have to work hard and get the money back. Xiulan was actually very stingy. That's why when Dandan had an opportunity to shop for Xiulan again; she took advantage of it so that her boss can have new beautiful clothes.

Dandan excitedly commented that she bought a really good clothes both for work and casual attire. Then she suddenly pulled out a huge zipped black garment bag. It contained the dress she wanted Xiulan to wear and she wanted her to see it immediately.

Xiulan got up from her seat and went to the sofa where the shopping bags were.

Dandan immediately unzipped the garment bag. Xiulan gaped on what she saw and a tinge of blush suddenly rises up to her face.
