Chapter 12 - Yang Zi And Yuan Quan

"Good morning Mr. Li. Oh, I mean boss," Yang Zi quickly corrected herself before Yifeng could. She purposely ignored his question because she was too tired to get into a fight with him that morning.

"I am glad you corrected yourself or else you should have just considered yourself fired for disobeying my command," Yifeng said coldly before he walked to his executive chair. When he got to his seat, he sat down elegantly with his legs crossed as he stared at the both of them. ​​

"Miss Yang, do you have any idea how much Yuan Quan adores you even though he has just met you recently? He willingly took the punishments you should have undertaken without any complaints but look at your attitude right now. You can't even say a word of appreciation to him," Yifeng who was careless about Yuan Quan's suffering acted as though he cared. Yang Zi who was very smart and quickly guessed what must have made her evil boss punish the poor innocent guy.

"Yuan Quan, what the hell happened? Why didn't you call me when you saw that boss was making it difficult for you because I left to take care of my sick mum who sustained a huge injury due to the bad fall she had when she fell early this morning from the stairs? Yuan Quan I am so sorry that you got punished because of me," Yang Zi apologized just to piss off her boss. She wanted his conscience to eat him up, that is if he had a conscience.

"Miss Yang, you don't have to apologize. I am happy that you were able to take care of your sick mum. How is her condition right now?" Yuan Quan asked with an expression filled with sincere concern. For the first time, Yang Zi felt so terrible for lying to him when she saw how genuinely concerned he was.

"You are such an angel Yuan Quan and she is getting better. Thank you so much for your concern. Yuan Quan, are you free later? I want to treat you out for lunch as my way of thanking you for the suffering you had to go through because of me. Just a reminder, I won't take no for an answer," Yang Zi said smiling charmingly at Yuan Quan. They did not even give a damn about the fact that their boss was right there. They treated him as an invisible being.

"You don't leave me with a choice then," Yuan Quan said as he smiled back at her.

"And what the hell do you guys think you are doing? If you want to date then do it outside work. Don't you dare ruin my eyes with your stupid show of love. Get to work immediately," Li Yifeng shouted at them angrily as he slammed his hand against his table. Yang Zi and Yuan Quan exchanged secret glares and giggled happily together before they exited the office. Yang Zi was so happy knowing that her lie was not so bad after all, because of the lie she told she was able to have a close relationship with one of her colleagues.

Time flew quickly and now Yang Zi and Jingxian were best of friends. Yang Zi made great use of her relationship with Jingxian to get important information from the lady about both her family and most importantly Zhou Yixian. As a result of getting this important information, she was able to take down two of Yixian's close friends who she thought were a hindrance to her plans.

Today for the first time since they became friends, Jingxian invited her to her parents' mansion, which she was residing in.

"Wow! Your house looks so pretty. This is the first time I have ever seen such a mansion like yours," Yang Zi said with a surprise look on her face just to fool the girl who was so excited to see her surprised look. Yang Zi has been to numerous mansions which were far better than the one the Zhous' own so there was nothing special about the mansion. She just exaggerated it to make Jingxian happy. She smiled devilishly when she saw the satisfied look on Jingxians pretty face. Jingxian, who liked showing off how rich her family was, took the pleasure in showing her around the huge Mansion. Throughout their tour, Yang Zi seized the opportunity to take notes of the layouts of the mansion. She was so happy that she decided to wear the lenses Shiyi gave her before she left home. That way, Shiyi will also see whatever she was seeing and even video the entire house. During their tour, she ceased the opportunity to bug important places in the mansion when Jingxian was distracted.

"Zi Er, do you know that apart from the fact that I know about your family background, I know little about you but that is not the same with me I always tell you everything about myself and family. We have known each other for more than two months now but it's so hard to describe you if someone was to ask me about you," Jingxian said unhappily as she took a sip from her glass of wine.

"Jingxian don't be sad and why are you saying that you only know about my family background? Have you forgotten when I told you that I worked as a secretary for CEO Li Yifeng of BEST Enterprises and I am sure that you wouldn't have befriended me if you had not done a background check on me. As for my education it is a known fact to everyone that I graduated from Harvard university with a degree in business management," Yang Zi said smiling just to please the lady in front of her.

"Of course I know everything you have just mentioned because you are not only quite popular in the business cycle but also in the circular world. You are even more popular than some celebrities who are in this Keelung Country. Who does not know the only Secretary to be awarded a golden medal by the President himself for her excellent performance? Every company and organization wants you as their secretary. You speak at least ten different languages fluently. I have always wondered how you did that but precisely that is not what I want to know right now. I want to know about your love life. What is your ideal type of guy?" Jingxian asked as she paid full attention to Yang Zi whose expression turned sour when she heard the mention of the word LOVE. Since the day her sister died in the hands of the guy she loved, she despised to hear those words especially love between a man and a woman.

"My love life?" Yang Zi asked as though she did not hear Jingxian's question as she tried to force a smile on her face.

"Yes, your love life," Jingxian replied seriously, her eyes focusing on the lady who was trying to maintain her fierce facade. Yang Zi wanted to evade the question by pretending as though she was pressed but she changed her mind when she sighted Yixian standing by the door. Since Jingxian was backing the door she did not notice her brother's arrival. Yang Zi smiled devilishly as she crossed her sexy legs, making sure to expose her long seductive legs.
