33 Chapter 33: The Partner to Save the Country

Lau Zhu's thoughts were suddenly interrupted when the elevator going down to the parking lot created a loud ding sound.

Her thoughts were all over the meeting she attended awhile ago. This woman called Mrs. Xing Xiulan was unexpectedly and genuinely very kind and nice for someone who is damn rich and married to that ruffian Xing Hongqi.

She expected that she'll meet an overbearing madam but to her surprise she met an angel instead, a beautiful angel in the middle of this chaotic S city.

She's somewhat relived that her perverted and malevolent boss, Mo Dejiang, still has a kind friend. She really thought Mo Dejiang has sold himself to the devil since all of his acquaintances are people who committed crime for money and power.

Lau Zhu's phone suddenly rang and she's not surprise anymore that her boss will immediately calls her. That damn man sure is excited to hear all the things that happened this morning.

"Boss, I will return to the office after 10 minutes." Lau Zhu answers the phone and immediately ends it as well without waiting for Dejiang to even utter one word. It may look disrespectful but that's how she communicates with Dejiang.

"Zhuuuuu~" Mo Dejiang created an annoying sound as he greeted Lau Zhu as soon as she laid her foot inside his office.

"Young Master Mo." Lau Zhu respectfully greeted and bowed.

Dejiang put his right arm on Lau Zhu's shoulder like they were good pals and guided her to sit on the luxurious sofa inside his office while he chatted.

"Enough of the usual greetings. Let me hear everything that happened awhile ago." Dejiang excitedly said and he sat opposite of Lau Zhu.

"Secretary Han, please give our wonderful Zhu some tea." Dejiang added and creepily smiled at Lau Zhu. He was indeed excited to hear the good news.

Lau Zhu can't help but to nod to start her reports.

As soon as Lau Zhu set foot inside Xiulan's company floor. She immediately noticed that the place was dominated by women. Not a single sight of a man. It was quite an amazing sight for Lau Zhu since all her life as a special guard and sometimes a mercenary; she was always surrounded by men. She suddenly thought that this Mrs. Xing Xiulan might be a feminist. But it's impossible for a feminist to be friends with that hoodlum boss her hers.

The office's interior was simple and minimalist. Though expensive flowers can be seen everywhere especially inside the secretary's office.

Lau Zhu was greeted by a very beautiful and fashionable Secretary Wang Dandan. She was young and very professional looking. Secretary Dandan guided her towards the door of the office of Mrs. Xing and opened it for her as well.

Lau Zhu was not surprised anymore when she saw how Mrs. Xing's office was full of flowers again. "Is this woman obsessed with flowers?" she asked herself.

A petite and fairy-like woman greeted her with an enchanting smile that she can't take her eyes off. Lau Zhu did not expect that she'll be meeting someone whose beauty can compete with popular actresses and models. She expected that she'll look plain or the typical IT nerd. No wonder her perverted boss was willing to be a puppy for this woman.

Lau Zhu politely greeted Mrs. Xing Xiulan. "Good morning, Mrs. Xing. Young Master Mo has sent me to help whatever endeavors you wanted to finish. Nice to meet you."

Xiulan chuckled at Lau Zhu's very formal greeting. "Nice to meet you too, Miss Lau Zhu. How can I address you?" Xiulan said and pointed Lau Zhu to sit.

"Please, just call me Zhu." Lau Zhu politely answered.

"Hmm… okay. Zhu, I'm not sure what Dejiang told you about this job but the timeline for this mission is unpredictable. So it may take awhile and you'll be stuck with me for quite long" Xiulan started and teasingly smiled.

"Yes. Young Master Mo explained to me how crucial this mission will be that's why he sent me to be your help. I have my information here since it seems that my boss forgot to send it to you. I am willing to do whatever it takes to finish this mission and also to protect you." Lau Zhu honorably said and she handed out a file that contains her personal information and curriculum vitae to her new temporary boss.

"Oh by the way, are you allergic to flowers or pollens? I have a lot of flowers inside the office right now. I can't just throw them away. Sorry. If you are allergic, we can go to a nearest coffee shop." The very beautiful and considerate Mrs. Xing apologetically said.

"No, I am not allergic. No need to transfer." Lau Zhu said and gave a brief smile.

"Okay, good. I'm really lazy to transfer as well. Hehe." Mrs. Xing smiled. "These days I usually have to meet some clients and friends outside my office due to a pollen allergy attack. My husband sent flowers everyday ever since we met. I told him to stop but he's not listening. I just can't throw gifts so they all stay here and outside my office." Mrs. Xing explained. Lau Zhu thought that the Xing couple were really close and seems to be in love with each other. Too bad for her boss though.

To outsiders, Xiulan and Hongqi's relationship was indeed goals since both of them are in good terms and they are young, beautiful and very rich. Also how they both addressed each of their spouse respectfully to their friends or acquaintances. They never talk badly about each other. Though Xiulan has said something to her family but it was not a blatant mean and slandering words. They don't know that these two are just naturally good in creating a persona of a good wife and husband.

Lau Zhu only nodded to Xiulan's explanation and waited for her to finish reading her resume. The beautiful fairy-like Mrs. Xing smiled while she reads the document. Xiulan's face and smile were really pleasing to the eyes. No wonder that haughty perverted Mo Dejiang was willing to lend her capabilities to this woman. She wanted to snort.

At first, Lau Zhu was bewildered that her tyrant and aggravating perverted boss has this kind of friend. And much to her surprise, he's spoiling her too much even though they are not a couple or even dating.

According to her observation for the past five years working under the Mos. The bratty prince Dejiang was never the type to court or splurge a huge amount of money on women. But this time, he sent his best female guard and even bought a new Tesla car to be of use for this mission. He was spoiling Mrs. Xing so much and the later doesn't even know it.

Yes, he did have a lot of women. So many that she can't even count them anymore. She never saw him to be serious or even give any gifts to these poor women! He was so stingy to them. All he did was play, play and play. Dejiang also never made the first move. It was always the girls who made the first move.

Dejiang is a genius and calculatingly smart and manipulative. If this woman was Dejiang's apple of his eyes, then he's this time his stupidity is showing. Why the hell did he have to like someone who is married and top of it all, Xing Hongqi's wife. As what they said; when you are smart , you'll be stupid when it comes to love.

But she quite understands her boss' infatuation for this pretty lady. Very kind, beautiful, young, rich and has unbelievable manners from an old rich family. Unlike those nouveau riche women that his boss dated, no played with all throughout these years. The gap was so huge.

"But still he's so stupid to fall in love with a married woman." Lau Zhu mockingly thought again.

Her thoughts were interrupted when the pretty Mrs. Xing suddenly talk.

"Zhu, your credentials are unexpectedly amazing. I'm really astonished and I can't wait to work with you. While reading your achievements and skills, they were far better than what I expected. But the question, are you willing to work with me for a few months? This mission may take longer since it's only the two of us." Xiulan showered Lau Zhu with praises.

Lau Zhu can't help but blush by Xiulan's words. It was the first time a pretty lady praised her like this.

"Of course. Young Master Mo sent me to help you. I will do my best to do my duty for the both of you. You are an important friend for our young master, as possible I would like to protect and help you." Lau Zhu said like an honorable knight.

Xiulan gave a pretty and genuine smile. "Thank you so much, Zhu. Can't wait to work with you."

"The pleasure is mine, Mrs. Xing." Lau Zhu politely replied.

"For now, my first task for you... no our first talk together will be this coming weekend." Xiulan handed her a pamphlet that contains the blueprint of Golden Eagle's Arena.

"Memorize the blueprint and take note of the blind spots of the CCTVs. Golden Eagle Awards will be held there for their annual music and arts awards. I already bought tickets and some disguise. As you can see, I am not allowed to expose my Mrs. Xing persona in the public since my husband's image is quite important." Xiulan explained and even joked about her husband's sensitive image.

"Yes." Lau Zhu nodded and briefly checked the blueprint.

"These are your tickets as well. If you have extra time you can visit and check the place. The arena is quite big and has a lot of hiding spots. The terrorists might have studied the blueprint as well if ever they acquired some so they might know where to hide. The mission is quite dangerous and we are only two in this team. I still can't report any of my actions and next move to the higher ups and even to my university due to they might have spies inside. We just need to get one of their members and interrogate." Xiulan earnestly explained to Lau Zhu.

"I understand. I will study the blueprint and will ask some of my brothers for help. Don't worry, Mrs. Xing. We can finish this mission." Lau Zhu encouragingly said.

"Thank you, Zhu. Let's do our best. Also please say may thank yous to Mo Dejiang." Xiulan smiled and also made a cute fighting pose.

"That's it?" Mo Dejiang interrupted Lau Zhu's reporting.

"Yes, Young Master." Lau Zhu was confused for a moment why her boss made a bitter expression.

"You did not ask what she thought about me? What about her thoughts in our good friendship? Or what about her relationship with that arrogant Xing Hongqi? Try asking her some personal stuff next time." Mo Dejiang unpleasantly complained.

"I understand, Young Master Mo. I will do that next time. But for what happened this morning, there was no chance to slip those questions since I was only there for introduction. Also it was not right to ask personal questions in the first meeting, she's my new boss and it's not right to ask that." Lau Zhu patiently explained and was irritated by Dejiang's overbearing complaints. Of course she can't ask personal stuff to her boss. She's not that oblivious and stupid.

"Well… you have a point there. She might find it offensive if you ask something personal and she might think I'm conducting bad behavior to my subordinates. Ack! I don't want that. Good job and move there, Lau Zhu." Dejiang contemplated and praised Lau Zhu.

"Thank you, Young Master Mo." Lau Zhu sarcatically said. She wanted to roll her eyes on what her boss said. Her Young Master Mo was always rude to everyone, even to his own family. This is the only time that he's acting like a good man. What did he even mean conducting bad behavior when he's bad 24/7.

"Use the new car whenever you go out with Xiulan and make sure to praise me in front of her every now and then. The new car will protect the both of you from harm if ever something serious and bloody happens. Also don't forget to snap some pictures and immediately send it to me. She was so beautiful in the pictures you sent me this morning. What more to the coming days." Mo Dejiang excitedly uttered. His face also has that infatuated look on it. Lau Zhu wanted to slap him and wake him up that he should stop loving a married woman. But of course she can't do that to her evil boss.

"Right… I will do that." Lau Zhu can't help but just agree to his boss' demands. Her new job with Mrs. Xing Xiulan will be like a vacation and an oasis outside this hellhole with the Mos.

Lau Zhu doesn't know what kind of crucial events that will happen in the next days but she's sure that it will be a piece of cake. She has gone to a lot of brutal and chaotic missions and jobs before. For her professional achievements, this mission will be compared to a novice's.
