It didn't take much time to arrive at the next day. Li Xue was excited for the press meet at the company. This would be a final touch to her comeback. The success of today's event will decide the strength of footing she will be re – getting in the industry. Up until now, she has read people's divided thoughts.
And to some extent she was happy seeing that she still had people supporting her. She did not expect it. But finding some positive unexpectedness was not that bad. It surges a kind of strength to your will.
"Umm … Du Fan, you can drop me off at the other lane before the company. I don't think it will be right for me to go in this luxurious Maybach. We might get caught by the reporters" Li Xue said, getting slightly nervous.
Du Fan looked behind at the backseat in the rearview mirror before looking at his Young Master for his orders.
Feng Shufen, who was sitting beside Li Xue could also feel her nervousness. Moving his hands to hold hers lightly, he said, "Take the car to the underground parking Du Fan through the back exit. There would be no crowd in that part and it would also be safe for your Madam to enter the building without coming in anyone's view".
"But, Shufen …"
"It's fine, dropping you off near some lane will be quite dangerous and putting you in danger is the last risk I would ever want to take", without giving her any chance to reject, Feng Shufen said.
And Li Xue could not deny his words. Nodding, she accepted. At front Du Fan also smiled as he paced the car in the directed direction.
"Don't be nervous, you will do good", Feng Shufen said to comfort, feeling the slightest shiver of the woman. Li Xue nodded again to it, not particularly giving any of her words.
She was not nervous for the things that were going to happen in the press meet, rather she was nervous for the second chance she was receiving to live her dream. She was nervous thinking that if not careful, once again things might get ruined for her.
Wouldn't that disappoint everyone who trusted her the second time? Especially the man who was sitting beside her at the moment. Li Xue thought to herself as she slowly turned to look at him, only to find him staring at her for quite some time now.
"I will never get disappointed in you". She heard the man say, out of blue and she felt her eyes brightening in surprise. She was such an open book to him. Just a look and he would already know what's running in her head.
Li Xue hummed lightly and was about to say something when suddenly, Feng Shufen's phone went off.
Looking at the caller id, he was about to ignore it but then for some reason thought against it. "I will take this call" He said to the woman before sliding the floating icon of the phone to accept the call. Receiving the call, he gave a small hum to notify his presence and waited for the person on the other side to respond.
"Hey, Shufen! You received the call? I was not expecting you to do so. I am impressed." It was Qi Shuai on the other end, being in his special kind of jolly mode as usual.
"Should I hang up then?" Feng Shufen's words came out in a cold tone. Though there was a question mark at the end of the sentence, there was no question in the context, rather it was a warning that was laid openly at front.
"Aye, you are again being heartless to your friend. I am your buddy. Can't I joke a little bit around you?" Qi Shuai said, still maintaining his jovial mood. "Anyway, I have called to inform you that I will not be coming to the office for a week. I got some information and I am going to do some self – investigation there. So, don't miss me too much. Your best friend will bring good souvenirs. Okay?"
Feng Shufen didn't say anything but then after sometime, he said, "When come back, don't forget to take some efficiency lessons. I will ask Gao Fan to arrange it"
"You … you … who are you calling inefficient here? Don't even call me that. Do you even know how hard is it to do all these? I have to begin things from scratch. Do you think getting answers of something this complex would ever happen in one week? Dream on! And better not look down on me like this or I will … I will just not do anything." Qi Shuai said everything in one tone. He must admit just a few words from his friend was enough to bring him to the edge. No one else but only he could do that.
"Your pay will be deducted for your week off." Feng Shufen did not heed any of the words and just disconnected the call. While on the other side, Qi Shuai could only gape in surprise.
Did he really hear him say deduction in pay? Whoa! Bravo! Wasn't he leaving his work to go and investigate for him? How could he be this mean to deduct his pay? Such a cold tyrant he was!
He hmphed. "Shufen, you just wait! I am definitely not be easy on you this time. Let me get something substantial during this investigation. I will make you pay double to get that information. Then, I will see how you will deduct my pay? I will also turn as Devil as you. Just wait and watch" Qi Shuai pledged to himself, as he ran back to add a few more things into his back.
Earlier last evening he received the information mentioning details about Li Xue from five years ago. So instead of sending his men to look after it, he decided to go on his own. He was getting curious about something and was only running to confirm his assumptions.
