"Shui Shui contracted a terrible disease? How come no one informed me about this sooner? How is she? I hope she is alright?" Yang Zi worriedly questioned, not knowing that she misinterpreted Shiyi's words.
"Ha haha..... Zi Er, you are not seriously worried about her right?" Shiyi bursted into a deafening laughter when he heard Yang Zi's worried voice.
"Shiyi, how could you have the heart to laugh when our beloved Shui Shui is ill? Never-mind, what kind of disease was she diagnosed with? Is it an incurable disease," Yang Zi asked in panic.
"Yes, it is an incurable disease and this incurable disease is none other than the famous disease called lovesickness. Your Shui Shui is completely out of her mind at the moment," Shiyi said, still smiling.
"Hey Shiyi, you scared the hell out of me. I really thought Shui Shui was ill, but let's move on. What did you mean by our Shui Shui is lovesick?" Yang Zi asked curiously over the phone. Shui Shui instantly covered Shiyi's mouth with her right hand when she saw that he would speak again.
"Zi Er, don't take Shiyi's words seriously because he is just spewing nonsense...,"
"Zi Er, don't worry I will gist you on the details when you are back as for now I will just keep quiet since I don't want to be choked to death," Shiyi shouted after he momentarily removed Shui Shui's hand from his mouth. Shui Shui covered his mouth again in fear that he might still interrupt her phone call with Yang Zi.
"Zi Er, I called earlier, but you didn't answer the call. I was planning to tell you my view about your new found collection..," Shui Shui said, hesitating, making Yang Zi anxious.
"Your hesitation means that the shoes are not good, right? You know you can always tell me your honest opinion without holding back, I can't afford to get mad at you. I will just rip off the designer shoes. It isn't a big deal anyway," Yang Zi said. Although she tried not to think too deep about it. She still felt disappointed, because of the time she wasted to design it. She thought she would have used the time she used to design the four shoes to design some remarkable dresses that the world has ever seen.
"What are you thinking, Zi Er, of course I love the shoes! I honestly fell in love with all of them when I first set my eyes on those incredible, fantastic, fabulous, splendid, magical... hey Shiyi, what other words can I use to describe something that is out of this universe?" Shui Shui asked. She paused a little while when Shiyi did, as if he was thinking of an answer to give her. Shui Shui continued when Shiyi could not still think of an answer for her.
"Girl, I love all the designs you sent me. I mean, both the dresses and shoes are splendid. As I am speaking, I have already gathered funds to invest in your new shoe-line business. With the funds I have gathered, I am sure that I will be the biggest shareholder. I am certain that even CEO Luo cannot beat me to it," Shui Shui replied with confidence as she tapped Shiyi's shoulders playfully.
"Wow! That's nice to hear. I really thought the designs were all hopeless when you hesitated from speaking. Thank goodness I was wrong and we will see about you being the biggest shareholder of my shoe-line when I am back but don't be too confident because that spot might not be yours. Don't forget my senior bro sitting beside you is the CEO of one of the most famous Company in the world. He is a lot richer than you so his investment might be bigger than yours automatically making him the biggest shareholder of ZSS Shoe-line," Yang Zi teased.
"Who cares whether Shiyi is the CEO of Luo's Corporation? Have you forgotten that I am the heiress of the biggest Financial Enterprises in the world, so I am not inferior to him. I am just as rich as he is. I will definitely challenge my big bro here for the position of the biggest shareholder of your upcoming Shoe-line and may the best man win," Shui Shui said, not backing down. Shiyi, whose mouth was still covered stared at his enthusiastic best friend. He didn't utter any words.
"Yeah, I love your fighting spirit Shui Shui. I am rooting for you this time around. Seeing you so determined to make me open a Shoe-line, I will go alone with the flow and set up a Shoe-line because I totally trust my Shui Shui's judgments for Fashion," Yang Zi said softly. Shui Shui was a Fashion maniac and so was she, but she always sought her best friend's opinion first before she made her already designed clothes. Shiyi often helped her too in concluding when it came to male clothes.
"Your designs are always flawless that is why your fashion-line is the most popular fashion-line in the universe but it wasn't because of my judgments. You are good at what you do and I am just waiting for the time you will assume your true identity once all your revenge plans are successfully exerted," Shui Shui said with mixed feelings.
"I can't wait for it to finally be over too. Guys, I have to go now, it's time for our next item on the agenda. I will call you back later when I am back, that is, if I am not too worn out after I return to my room. Shiyi, don't forget you are supposed to activate the virus at 1:00 am. Take care guys," Yang Zi said. She didn't disconnect the call immediately. She waited for her two friends to say their goodbyes before she disconnected the line.
Yang Zi went down to the hall where everyone already assembled. She garnered a lot of attention when she entered the hall. Many people stared at her with looks of admiration, while the jealous ones who had nothing better to do murmured to one another in low tones. Yang Zi walked confidently, with her chin and shoulders up just to spite the jealous ones. One thing those who are close to her know her for was her not allowing whatever her haters say get to her.
"Miss Yang, here, I have prepared a seat specially for you," Wen Min shouted when she got close. Yang Zi walked gracefully to where the rest of her group members were sitting down.
"Miss Yang, you look so beautiful as always. You have a knack for garnering everyone's attention wherever you go and I love that about you," Jiu, the youngest of them all said shyly. Su Jin glanced at him murderously when he heard Jiu trying to seduce his best friend's woman. Jiu was so fortunate not to have been staring at their director or else he would have got scolded.
"Thank you and you are no different. You look handsome too," Yang Zi replied smiling. She avoided making eye contact with Su Jin, although she was sitting down opposite him.
