Chapter 87


    The next two weeks went by quickly . <hr>


    Xiaonian was busy with her uing story arc of theic book, and Gong Ouyang was also held back at his work due to some unexpected problems in their research department . They only saw each other at night and rarely in the mornings .


    Xiaonian cooked his breakfasts the night before and two house maids, Xiao Li and Luo Fan, took over heating it up and serving it to him in the mornings .


    For the first time since she lived with him, Xiaonian saw Gong Ouyang leave so early in the morning . One time she was sure he slept at 12 in the night, and woke up at 2 in the morning and left .


    She couldn’t help but be surprised .


    She always imagined rich people to be more…, leisurely may be?


    She knew that he liked his work . Many times, she saw him shut himself in his study working on hisputer, sometimes even forgetting his meals . But she did not pin him to be someone who would attend to his work at such inconvenient hours .


    Xiaonian leaned back in her chair looking at the first draft of the story . <hr>


    How can a guy who thought the world revolved around him, do things a normal office worker would do?


    She struck off the character description of the hero, and added a tag ‘develop’ beside it .


    Did she have a biased view of Gong Ouyang? Because he treated her so, she developed a skewed understanding of him?


    She sighed and pushed the papers back on the desk . It’s not that she wanted to vilify him, but his behavior drove her to . But taking a glimpse of this side of him, she had to grudgingly agree that she respected this Gong Ouyang who worked hard .

    Gong Ouyang watched as the people in the conference room descended into another discussion about their uing product .


    Ze Chen silently stood beside him and waited for a decision . If everything went well, they will be releasing it into the international markets this Monday .


    He quickly took a peek at his boss, and went back to observing the room again .


    He started working in thispany when he was only 22, and it has now been 6 years . There had been opportunities elsewhere over the years, but he always put them off . Not because he wasn’t tempted . He was . As someone who worked under Gong Ouyang, his value in the market was quite high andpanies fell over themselves to pull him into their ranks .


    However, Ze Chen understood this game .


    He had yet to meet some one as business savvy as Gong Ouyang . Not only was he a brilliant business man, but he was born into a family where children learn about managing businesses as soon as they start drinking milk . That was an advantage ordinary people couldn’t even graze . No matter how much of a genius a person is, with the advantages that Gong Ouyang has since his birth, there was no way anyone could match up to him no matter how much they tried .


    He has seen business men better than Gong Ouyang . But none as young as him . By the time he caught up to their age, there was no telling what he could aplish . And Ze Chen, who had his own ambitions, wanted to be there, at the peak with the best of the pack in thispetitive jungle . And the best way to do it, was work at Gong Ouyang’s side .

    At Sen Lin, many female house guests left the mansion as soon as Gong Ouyang left to live with Xiaonian at TianZhi . Some held hopes and stuck around, and were ted when he returned . But before long, he was gone once again .


    Feng De periodically returned here to take care of his master’s estate affairs and what’s left of his ‘house guests’ .


    “Butler De,” a particrly curvaceous woman stopped him on the stairs to third floor .


    “Miss Li,” Feng De greeted her politely .


    “When will Mr . Gong return?”


    Feng De smiled politely . “”I’m not sure of master’s ideas Miss . ”


    The smile of Li Mei’s face dimmed . She forced a smile and asked, “Does Butler De know where Mr Gong is staying currently?”


    If she can get an ess to Gong Ouyang, she might be a step ahead of Xie Linlin .


    “I’m sorry Miss Li, but I’m not at liberty to discuss master’s whereabouts with anyone without his express permission . ”


    Li Mei pouted and without another word went back to her room .


    Feng De went to his office and started sorting out the bills .


    Even though Gong Ouyang stayed at Tian Zhi, Sen Lin was his main residence . It was the address that connected his personal life and business . And with the vast assets in the name of Gong Ouyang, it wasn’t possible to conduct their usual businesses in Tian Zhi . That ce was much too small and inconvenient .


    Feng De fell into thought as he leafed through Tian Zhi’s expenses .


    A small smile curved the wrinkled corner of his eyes . This ce, where his master resided, was surprisingly the ce that generated the least expense these days . Tian Zhi needed no expert chefs, required a very small number of staff and Miss Xiaonian’s shopping expenses, if any, were yet toe to light .


    “Butler De, the manager of the southern ind is here to talk,” a young staff announced outside his door . The estates needed to be taken care of .


    “Ask him toe in . ”


    Perhaps, in the future, this building might be more than an address . Perhaps, Miss Xiaonian might live here and make it a home for his master .
