Xie Yuansheng couldn't even tend to his foot that was stomped by Feng Xinying and he had eaten his lunch without showing pain on his face.
When Yun Chen asked Feng Xinying about Wu Bosun, she really wanted to show her down. She was extremely sure that Feng Xinying had gone on "Mission Impossible" and would never be successful considering the history of Wu Bosun. Everyone knew that he was an extremely cold man who was only interested in fame, glory and money. Relationships had taken a backseat for him. He was hardly into endorsing brands because he only wanted to concentrate in his movie career.
Feng Xinying was eating fish with rice, when Yun Chen asked the question. "Yes, he has agreed," she replied taking another bite as though this was a normal thing but as soon as she said that all the women at the table stopped eating and looked at her with wide eyes. Even Xie Yuansheng stopped eating and looked at her.
Yun Chen appeared as if she had been slapped hard. "Cong- congratulations…" she said.
"Umm… Thank you."
"This is a wonderful feat Feng Xinying. Do you know how difficult it is to get that celebrity?" said Xie Yuansheng with excitement. He wanted to hug Feng Xinying right now.
Feng Xinying smiled and said, "Thank you CEO Xie Yuansheng."
Lim Fei Yen had become green with envy. Not only did Feng Xinying make her sit on the furthermost chair from Xie Yuansheng, now she had got Wu Bosun's approval for the advertisement. While everyone started congratulating Feng Xinyin, Lim Fei Yen broke the conversation and suddenly spoke aloud, "Yuansheng, I have also achieved a special feat. I have successfully collected a large number of clothes to give for charity."
Xie Yuansheng looked at her strangely. "What charity?" he asked. "Also who gave you the authority to call me by my first name?"
Lim Fei Yen flinched.
Everyone else at the table started laughing but since they couldn't laugh loudly, the laughter was stifled. Feng Xinying almost choked but she immediately replied, "Lim Fei Yen, thanks for doing your job so efficiently. Please submit your report to me but I was hoping that you would take another week to complete the first project. It will be better if you submit the report after a week."
Xie Yuansheng was wondering about the project that Lim Fei Yen was talking about. However, when he heard Feng Xinying speaking so elaborately about it, he smiled and took another bite.
Lim Fei Yen nodded foolishly.
"CEO Xie Yuansheng, it is not every time that a celebrity endorses our products. Can we please call Wu Bosun to the company? I am sure everyone would love to see him and talk to him. It would be a great company event if we organize an interactive session with Wu Bosun!" suggested Yun Chen excitedly.
"Yun Chen, Wu Bosun will never agree to that," said Lim Fei Yen.
"But we have Feng Xinying here. If she could convince Wu Bosun for our advert, then she can surely convince him to participate in our company event," replied Yun Chen acting smart.
Xie Yuansheng scolded Yun Chen. "Yun Chen, Feng Xinying went over there for a very formal meeting. Wu Bosun is not her friend who would just come and participate in an event for no reason. It's not that he wants popularity. So suggest things that make sense."
Feng Xinying smiled and continued eating.
Yun Chen flinched and sat back in her chair quietly. However, the idea that she had dropped became popular instantly.
"CEO Xie Yuansheng, it would be really nice if we meet the celebrity Wu Bosun," said a junior employee not able to hold her excitement upon listening that this could be a possibility. Soon a few of them chimed in.
Xie Yuansheng got angry and was about to scold all of them when Feng Xinying said, "Okay, I will ask him but most likely he will not agree because he is a busy man."
Xie Yuansheng became angrier.
Soon they all finished the lunch and went to their offices.
Feng Xinying went to Xie Yuansheng's office to give the report about Wu Bosun. Excitedly, she sat on the chair opposite him and talked about her successful afternoon. She was expecting him to praise her. She was eagerly involved in the project and every small feat was close to her heart. This would be her first project in which she was directly involved – doing something about it. Previously all she was doing was reading data and presenting the reports that she would gather from concerned departments to Xie Yuansheng. She was practically floating in air with happiness.
"You will not go to ask Wu Bosun for any company event!" was his reply after listening to her. It was as if he wasn't listening to what she had achieved.
Feng Xinying glared at him. She was telling about her report and here he was on a different spree. "Why not? If he agrees it will not only popularize our product, it will also be good for team building within our company. Or is it that you are jealous?" she asked with a smile although she was seething inside.
"Why should I be jealous? You can call anyone you like and also participate in the event! If you like you can join his company!" said Xie Yuansheng burning with fury.
"Thank you," said Feng Xinying. She picked her files and left silently.
When she went, Xie Yuansheng wanted to strangle himself for becoming mad at her. She looked too calm when she left.
She returned back to her cubicle. Then she looked at the closed door of his office with clenched jaws, picked her phone and texted Wu Bosun directly.
To her surprise, the reply was prompt,
[When is the event?]
[Are you free tomorrow?]
[Of course!]
[Okay, kindly be here at 10AM tomorrow]
[Done!]
An email was sent to everyone in the evening that the celebrity Wu Bosun will be coming to the company tomorrow.
