<h4>Chapter 45 - Coming (II)</h4>


    From what she remembered in herst previous life. DV project became very big after four years. So she really did not mind that they lost the project. The other project she gave to Fang Dien would appear it''s usefulness for almost one-three years.


    She only wanted it (DV project) because it would be a huge part of the Zheng Duo (ZD) all-in-project. An international project that gave a headache to that beast. In other words, the ZD all-in-project could rival and could give a huge blow to that beastpany. But of course, if she could take her hands on it and make another ZD project she would do everything to take down the beast''spany. And she was confident she could do it. But seems like thepany behind the ZD all-in-project was prepared and already nning to have a project internationally.


    SC Company...


    She heard about thispany before. But only heard. Never once they revealed themselves to media. Only the PR were appearing in the news whenever the media would publicize their aplishments in overseas. She remembered that thispanypeted against that beastpany. In other words, all projects the beast wanted to invest and expands would be taken away by SC Company. These really made that beast mad. So for that favorst lifetime she would not fight for the other projects that involved ZD all-in-project. In the future, she might coborate with them.


    "Don''t fret over it. Whenever you face this SCpany don''t fight them."


    "En." Fang Dien replied.


    "What about the RESTO?" Xiong Zhi asked. That restaurant would take a lot of time to re-innovate and make it known.


    "Ahh...yes. I''ll be visiting them tomorrow. "


    "Good." Xiong Zhi said to Fang Dien that he needed to take action personally when ites to RESTO. Even though he did not understand the reason behind it, the boss was the one who would make the order so he would follow.


    Right at this moment, a knocked came, Fang Dien said toe in and a young man walks in.


    "Sir, there is a woman--" he stopped for a moment when he saw Xiong Zhi.


    ''What a pretty girl... Is she our boss''s younger sister? ''


    He stared at the two beautiful people for a while but he did not manage to see their simrities. Hence, he concluded that the other one look like his father, the other one look like her mother.


    "What is it?" Fang Dien''s question woke up the young man from his daze.


    "Oh! Pardon me...there is a woman named Xiao Mei. She said she had an appointment with the boss. Should I let her in?"


    Fang Dien look questionably to Xiong Zhi.


    "Let here in." Xiong Zhi said. The young man looks at her dumbly for a while.


    ''Is she only a younger sister of our boss? To order like that...''


    "Do what she says." Fang Dien said. He knew what his employee was thinking. It was written all over his face.


    "Y-yes, sir." Then the employee went out and guide Xiao Mei to the office.


    Xiao Mei walks into the office. Xiong Zhi was stunned for a moment before she broke into a small smile and greet Xiao Mei.


    "Nice haircut." Xiong Zhi said. Eyeing the shoulder-length hair of Xiao Mei.


    Xiao Mei cut her long hair the moment she was freed from the prison. It was a remembrance of her suffering from the prison, her naive thinking, and how the world truly works. She would not be the same timid Xiao Mei before. As she entered this business industry with people she chooses to trust, she would not be a merciful person to her enemy. This world would eat from the weak and the strong people would always win. And she chooses to be thetter.


    She smiled at Xiong Zhi.


    "Thank you so much for helping me and my grandmother. My grandmother heard about it. And she asked me that if you have time you can visit her. And she will thank you personally."


    "I will. Maybe one of these days."


    Xiao Mei and Xiong Zhi sat and Xiong Zhi introduced her CEO to the Vice-director. After introducing, and telling her n for future projects. Xiong Zhi left them to let their selves be familiar with each other. They needed to bond as thepany would flourish more.


    ______________________


    Xiong Zhi arrived at Xiong Mansion when the sun was about to set. She did not expect that she would talk to them longer than she imagined. Talking to people was not that bad after all.


    (A/N: hey you talk purely about business....????)


    When she arrived a butler came to her and said that Old Xiong would have dinner with her.


    It was not usual for Old Xiong to dine with her. Usually, she dines alone. Sometimes the old man would order her to eat with him. And an announcement would happen next. Likest time when the old man had breakfast with her to announce Linfeng''s existence.


    What will be his announcement this time?


    When the clock hit seven, Xiong Zhi was already sitting in her usual ce. Her hands were ced on top of herp. She was a bit nervous.


    ''It is not about that beast, right? Our marriage arrangement?''


    Xiong Zhi shook her head inwardly.


    ''No. The old man already makes a promise to me...


    ''What will be this time ?''


    When Xiong Zhi saw Old Xionging with Mr. Zhou following behind she calmed herself. She stands up and said her usual line.


    "Good evening grandfather, how are you today?"


    "Good." Then Old Xiong sat at the lone chair.


    Food starteding and after waiting they began to eat.


    In the middle of their eating, Old Xiong began to speak.


    "Are youing this Friday?"


    Xiong Zhi stopped her movement and recalled what''s with this Friday. Then she remembered it was the Xiong Empire 325th Anniversary. She remembered thatst lifetime she did not attend this year nor the uing years. Simply because she did not care. Now...would shee?


    Xiong Zhi was still thinking when Old Xiong brought news again.


    "Your third uncle and your cousin will alsoe. They will arrive this Thursday."


    That made Xiong Zhi nk for a moment. Then a small smile made its way to her lips.


    "I''lle, grandfather."


    "Good. It is a good opportunity for you to socialize and expand your business. I''ll expect you then."


    Xiong Zhi said "En." And began to eat in silence. However, in her mind shbacks of schemes of her third uncle and cousin appeared. Those two were the mastermind why she lost her inheritance and end up in that beast''s hands.


    Their first move was taken at Xiong Empire Anniversary. Naturally, she, a reborn woman, would also take the first step of her revenge on that day.


    As she thought of this her grip at the knife that was slicing a piece of delicate meat was tightened and every chop executes a restrained strength.


    Oh. She could not wait to meet them.
