Chapter 94 - For the Golden Invitation

Xiong Zhi left SHM. But before she left, the four insisted to have her entertained. Xiong Zhi does not need any of that and left swiftly. Leaving the four disappointed for not having their big boss stayed in their humble abode.

Xiong Zhi went directly to IHZHI.

Linfeng was in his private office of SC company checking the latest report from Jang Shin when a call from his father came.

Linfeng picked it up and stand beside the window.

"Yes, Father?"

"Where are you?"

Linfeng was a bit stunned. His father just rarely asked this question to him. If he does, it means an urgent matter would be placed in his hand.

"Just playing with Shin. Why father?"

His father doesn't have any idea about SC. It was only Linfeng's and Jang Shin's secret.

Zhou Min on the other line got his brow knitted.

"How old are you already? I told you to use your time wisely. I know you're not yet 21 but you have to use this time to be acquainted with the Young Miss. You're supposed to be assisting her."

Linfeng got his father's hidden message.

'Did Mr. Xiong give trouble to Young Miss Zhi?'

"I got it, father. I will be there in a few minutes."

"She's not here. You supposed to know where she is."

Linfeng who was on his way to the door stopped.

'Right. It's my job to know where she is.'

Because of the last incident with Xiong Zhi, Linfeng used all his time to be focused on his school and work. This was to stop letting his thoughts wander to his Young Miss.

"Alright. I'll look for her." Then he ended the call.

Linfeng thoughts were now occupied by Xiong Zhi.

He already expected that Mr. Old Xiong would give some trial to Young Miss during the four years' time. But he totally forgot this matter.

He was careless.

Now, he needs to assist Xiong Zhi and let this assistance to be the first step in their master and aide relationship. Like what he initially planned in their first meeting.

He needs to cut these childish actions like avoiding intimate contact with the Young Miss. As an aide, he would encounter this every day. He needs to get used to it.

Linfeng was on his way to the parking lot when a 'ting' sounded.

He looked at his phone and an email from his father was sent to him.

He tapped the folder.

Profiles and detailed descriptions from different investors came to his view. It was a soft copy of the result of Zhou Min's initial investigation. The same file that Xiong Zhi has.

Linfeng takes time to study each file.

Afterwards, he came to a certain contract.

Linfeng zoomed it. After reading, he was silent.

'This is difficult.'

It was fine if the only things included were the investors.

But to actually have the Lu's mixed into this matter was a different level. It made this trial ten times difficult as it should be.

Linfeng could not help but to sigh at Mr. Xiong's cruelty to his granddaughter. But at the same time, he was awed at Mr. Xiong's trust and belief in Xiong Zhi. The Old Xiong really has high expectations from Xiong Zhi. He put her in high radar.

However, having this high level of difficulty given to Xiong Zhi was not good as well. Especially, Xiong Zhi was only new to this industry. She needs all the help she can get.

She might only have a small connection. She needs a lot of resources.

Linfeng dialed a number.

Jang Shin quickly answered it.

"I'm on my way. "

"I will be leaving first. I just need to handle some other things."

Jang Shin was startled. They supposed to have meeting. Even though they are only two in the meeting, this meeting was still an urgent one.

'So there is more urgent than this?'

"I have a favor to ask as well. I send a file in your email. Check it out. I need you to contact all the people there. Don't make any promises. Just tell them we are considering their operations for our projects."

"Ha-? We don't have any available project right now. All of them are ongoing. Are there new ones?"

As far as Jang Shin knows their current projects were all undergoing. There's no need for further assistance from other companies. It was all settled.

"No. I don't have new ones yet. I'm still reviewing it. It is just a bit. It is for another matter."

Jang Shin finally got the clue.

"Oh. Another matter. Okay, I got it. I'll check it out."

The only other matter for Linfeng was the Xiongs.

'Yeah. The more urgent than SC is the Xiongs.' Jang Shin thought.

"Thanks."

"No worries."

"Oh. Wait-"

Jang Shin was about to put down his phone but Linfeng stopped him.

"I found a way to attend this year's IAmFashionista."

Jang Shin cleaned his other ear.

'Did I hear it right? This year's IAmFashionista? 'Do we have a golden ticket?'

Jang Shin could not believe it so he asked again.

"Pardon?"

"There's an envelope on your table. You'll see it. By the way, Jang Shin. I appreciate all the things you're doing for SC company. You are the face of the company. You're working hard. Don't let your hard work affect your own personal problems."

"Ha-?" Why the speech goes in a different direction?

"I know for the company, you are willing to do anything. I appreciate that. Thank you for your hard work." Then Linfeng ended the call.

Jang Shin looked at his phone confused. Linfeng was acting strange. Why was he thanking him?

Jang Shin could not help but have a bad feeling at this.

He ordered his driver to drive faster.

After twenty minutes, he arrived at SC building.

He went directly to Linfeng's private office.

He checked the table and looked for the mysterious envelope.

Then he found it.

The golden ticket.

Jang Shin's eyes practically shined.

The golden ticket that every major businessman wanted to gain so badly.

The seats at IAmFashionista was only limited.

Those who are invited were the owners of Empires and Big corporations. There were even royals from other countries who have a major contribution to China's business industry. Every person that was invited was a major figure.

That was an Oasis for businessmen.

Especially for those who just started their business. But for people like them, there is no possibility to gain a seat. Unless you have a strong connection and be an escort of a major figure.

The last option was the auction.

That's an open secret to this industry.

The last golden ticket was put into auction.

Big corporations, wealthy families, and major figures, anyone who has power and money to own it would fight with money for that ticket.

But since their company was still considered small, it could not rival those corporations. They could not participate in the auction or else their company would be in the limelight and all kinds of greedy eyes and scheme ones would be focused on them. Affecting the growth of their company.

So the auction was not an option for them.

That's why Jang Shin could not believe it that Linfeng found a way to have a golden ticket.

Jang Shin picked the black envelope with some golden cravings on the side carefully.

They said that this gold metallic paper actually had some genuine gold on it.

He looked at it bewitchingly. He touched it's every corner.

It was so beautiful and magnificent in his eyes!

He opened it with relish.

'Oh my. The golden ticket is in my hands! Hahaha! See that! Father, the thing you ever dream of in your entire life is in my hands! Hahaha!'

Jang Shin carefully picked the card inside.

It was pure gold and the writings were black. He smelled it.

It smells so fragrant and rich!

His hand touched the black letters. It was like the letters were engraved in a gold bar.

[You are invited to this Year's IAmFashionista. We welcome you Ms. Tang Xinyang and your escort, Mr. Jang Shin to be the guest in tonight's event.]

Jang Shin passed his fingers on it. Twice.

But he still got the same message.

[-welcome you Ms. Tang Xinyang and your escort-]

Jang Shin picked up the card. And slowly read it.

'Tang Xinyang?'

'Tang Xinyang?!'

'Linfeng....why?!!!!'

Jang Shin cried inside. His nightmares from preschool were coming.
