Mingmei was working in her office, Mrs. He called her to the office to discuss some work.
"Mingmei, Wei will be out for some days for work, so I'll be looking after the company work. You are close to Wei and know everything operating here, so he entrusted this responsibility to you for things to be in order," said Mrs. He.
"Be rest assured boss. I won't let you down," said Mingmei.
"Ok, inform the staff about the change," said Mrs. He.
"Ok boss," said Mingmei.
"Well, I know this sounds unprofessional, but I want to talk about something else too," said Mrs. He.
"Sure boss," said Mingmei.
"I know, to be with whom is your personal decision and I don't have any right to meddle in your affairs. But as your boss, I only expect that you stay away from the odd situations that would bring any mess to your professional life," said Mrs. He.
"I know boss. I won't let the company suffer any situations due to my personal issues," said Mingmei.
"You are an important and close person to me, company, and Zhang Wei. All of us trust you and your work, and wish you well," said Mrs. He.
"Thank you, boss, I won't disappoint any of you," said Mingmei.
She left.
"I hope Wei finds his happiness too. I know he's suffering, but he'll sure get over it" Mrs. He was thinking to herself.
Zhang Wei was out of town. He wanted to spend some time alone. He was sad, but worried more for Mingmei. But seeing her happy with Wang Lie, he was still fine. He went to sleep thinking about it.
Next day he was attending a business party. He was having talk with people there. Mr. Chen came there.
"Oh, Mr. Chen, when did you get back from Thailand?" one person asked.
"Not long, last week!" said Mr. Chen.
"Isn't that Zixin? The beautiful and graceful actress and your daughter?" asked another person.
"Ah, yes! Zixin dear, come here please!" Mr. Chen called her.
Zhang Wei saw her coming. She was like he had heard about. She came and stood next to her father.
"Gentlemen, this is my daughter, Zixin. I'm sure many of you might know her," said Mr. Chen.
"Hello everyone" said Zixin.
"Of course! My daughter is a huge fan of yours!" said one person.
"That's right! Even my wife loves watching you on screen," said another person.
"Thank you so much for the love" she said.
She had a smile on her face, light in eyes. Zhang Wei was impressed with her elegant way of speaking and dressing.
"Oh, Mr. Zhang, congratulations on the success of your recent event. I met Mr. Gu; he was quite impressed to work with you," said Mr. Chen.
"Thank you for the compliment," said Zhang Wei.
"Now it's time for young people to come forward, and Mr. Zhang is one such enthusiastic person" said one person.
"But there's still a lot more to learn from you people," said Zhang Wei.
"Well said, long journey ahead, same as my daughter. Cheers to new blood!" said Mr. Chen.
Time passed. Zixin was sitting aside. Zhang Wei came to her.
"Can I join you?" he asked.
"For sure!!" she said.
"It seems like you are not used to this atmosphere" he said.
"I'm, to be precise then, a lot" she said.
"So, how long have you been attending these events?" he asked.
"Back when I was 9 or 10 years old, I lost my mother in an accident. Father had to look after me and business simultaneously. So, he took me with him every time he went out..." she said.
"I'm sorry about your mother" he said.
"Hmm... anyways I'm habitual to these now!! Ever since I started my career as an actress, I've been on my own most of the time. I'm out on shoots and he can also give time for his work" she said.
"Mine is somewhat similar too. Mother's always out on meetings, business trips! Father never had interest in business, he's a traveler! So, most of the time I would be on my own" he said.
Time passed while they were talking. Party ended. Everyone left.
Mingmei was working late in the office. Lie called her.
"Hello, Meimei, have you finished your work yet? I'm here" he said.
"I'll be there in a minute or two" she said and left.
They had dinner together. He dropped her at home.
She was sleeping when her doorbell rang. It was early morning; she woke up and opened the door. She was shocked to see Yifeng standing in front of her.
"Surprise!!" he shouted.
"Xiaofeng! You are back!" she shouted in excitement.
He hugged her.
"Why stand outside, come in" she helped him with luggage.
"Finally, it feels so good to be back!" he said.
"Here, have some water first and relax" she said.
"Meimei, you owe me a lot of parties! And we are gonna celebrate tonight! Also, you are gonna tell me the whole story" he said.
"For sure! Anyways today is my weekly off, so I'm not in rush!" she said.
"But first I would like to eat something, I'm dying of hunger!" he said.
So, she made him breakfast, meanwhile he got over his jet lag. They had breakfast. He went back to his place. She went back to rest, as these days she had been working for long hours due to absence of Zhang Wei. Her phone rang.
"Missed me...?" Lie said in a sweet voice.
"Hmm, a little..." she said.
"Just a little...? I'm sad..." he said.
"Ok, ok... a lot..." she said.
"So... let's have lunch together" he said.
"Ok! I'll wait for you" she smiled.
"Bye! I love you" he said.
"I love you" she said.
She had some rest and got ready. Soon Lie arrived there. She came out, soon as they were about to leave, another car came there. His father's assistant got down from the car.
"Why are you here?" asked Lie.
"I'm sorry Mr. Lie. But it's your father's order," said assistant.
"What's it?" asked Lie.
"He said, you can't go public with Ms. Zheng," said assistant.
Wang Lie got angry hearing this.
"I'm afraid, I can't follow his orders. Go back and tell him to stop interfering in my life," said Lie.
"I'm sorry sir, but I'm not allowed to leave you alone. Please sir, don't make it difficult for me" the assistant said.
Lie calls his father.
"Hello?" said Mr. Wang.
"What's your problem? Have I not made it clear to you already that you don't have any right to speak in my personal life! Keep your men to you!" Lie was furious.
"And I've made it more clear to you that I don't accept your relationship with any common girl. Come back immediately, or else I have many other ways to deal with this," said Mr. Wang.
Lie furiously hung up the call.
"I think you should go back first," said Mingmei.
"But Meimei..."
"Please go back first. I don't think it's a good idea for now. Don't worry, I don't have any problem with that too. Let's go some other time." she interrupted him.
"I'm sorry for all these... I'll deal with it first" he said.
"Ok..." she smiled and nodded head.
"Then I'll leave first. Bye" he said.
"Bye..." she smiled.
