93 FOOLS DO NOT FEAR (1/2)

After Zhong Mian dealt with some matters at work, she drove to the Zhong Industries headquarters. Currently, she was managing the hospitality sector of the family corporation, so she did not need to be at the main building in the office. In fact, she had established her operations at Demesne Hotel for convenience.

However, even though she did not come to the main office frequently, everyone still remembered her. When she entered the building, the employees looked at her in awe and greeted her respectfully. She nodded back and smiled at a few familiar faces.

She felt a little nostalgic because she had spent so much time working in Zhong Towers. However, when she looked around, she felt relieved that she had left. Her memories were still clear, reminding her of the constant sleepless nights, guarding against tricks and fighting for power.

Her life had definitely changed for the better. The hospitality branch did not have the adrenaline rush of the central office, but she loved being able to breath and walk without looking over her shoulder in paranoia. She had finally come to understand why Feng'er had been so reluctant to come to Zhong Industries.

A long elevator ride brought her to the top floor where Zhong Feng's office was located. She felt incredibly nervous. Though she was not as unhealthily obsessed with this little brother as she was before, he was still her most important person. And meeting with him had become a problem since the Jian Ru incident.

When she stepped out of the elevator, she found an unexpected person in the lounge of the floor. She looked at the girl who was dressed in a long white sundress with a slight frown. However, she recovered her expression quite fast.

That girl noticed Zhong Mian walking in and stood up quickly.

”Big sister Mian, I am so glad to see you.” She spoke in a small voice.

Zhong Mian felt annoyed by this display of shyness. As a lady, she believed in being gentle, but this kind of weak and helpless look was an insult to all women, especially when it was all faked. However, Lady Mian would never directly point these facts out.

”Bei Gong Jiu, it is a surprise to see you here.” She responded politely.

”I dropped by to give something to big brother Feng, but some people stopped me from seeing him.” The woman cast aggrieved eyes at the two unflustered receptionists.

Zhong Mian almost frowned again.

”You can simply leave the item with the receptionists. I am sure they will deliver it if it is important.” She responded with a hint of impatience.

Bei Gong Jiu turned her hurt eyes at Mian, as if she was the one standing in her way. However, the sad eyes would not work on this hardened businesswoman who had seen it all.

”My heart will not feel at peace if I am not sure that big brother Feng received it.” She responded looking down.

In her mind, she felt annoyed at Mian for failing to help her. Their families might not be at the same level, but at least, she deserved some respect. It was yet to be decided who would become the daughter-in-law of the Zhong family. How did Zhong Mian know that she would not be the winner?

It was not like she wanted to do much when she saw Zhong Feng. She only wanted to deliver the VIP tickets to the exclusive writers' meet. Well, she also wanted to mention personally that she was going to be participating so that he would show up.

Even if she was not successful in inviting him, she would at least have an opportunity to meet with him. Simply speaking, Bei Gong Jiu had thought of every angle of this issue and realised that the tickets in her hands were the only way to improve her relationship with Zhong Feng.
