Feng Zhi arrived at his villa surprisingly early, catching madam Gong Xu off guard. After greeting him, she quickly ordered the maids to prepare his meal.
Feng Zhi retreated to his bedroom to freshen up, then headed to his private office room in the upper chambers of the villa. He pulled out a file containing information on the ladies who attended the wife-hunting event and began to browse through it.
As he scrutinized each page, his eyes landed on a particular name. The lady's name caught his attention, but it was her picture that truly sparked his interest. He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Wei Chen's number.
Wei Chen's eyes widened as he saw Feng Zhi's name on the caller ID. "President Feng," he answered cautiously.
"Report to the chairman," Feng Zhi said firmly. "Someone has finally caught my attention."
Wei Chen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Had he heard correctly? Didn't Feng Zhi say earlier that the ladies were unimpressive?
Feng Zhi dropped his phone on the table and gazed at the lady's picture again. Everything about her felt familiar, as if he had seen her before.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Feng Zhi called out, his eyes fixed on the door.
Madam Gong Xu walked in, looking slightly nervous. "The young missy is here, and she insists on seeing you."
Feng Zhi's eyes narrowed. Why was Dong Bing here?
"She's here with Lady Mu Lin," Madam Gong Xu added.
Feng Zhi's expression turned even colder. What was Dong Bing and her mother up to now?
He waved Madam Gong Xu off, and she quickly exited the room. Feng Zhi descended the stairs to the main sitting room, where Dong Bing and her mother were waiting.
Dong Bing smiled brightly at him. "Feng Zhi, I've come to ask if I can work in your company."
Feng Zhi raised an eyebrow. "I already have a secretary, and I don't need anyone else."
Dong Bing's face fell, but she quickly recovered. "I'm willing to learn, and I promise I won't be a burden."
Feng Zhi remained unmoved. "My company isn't a charity, and I don't hire people out of pity."
Mu Lin stood up, her face red with anger. "Feng Zhi, you're being too harsh. Dong Bing is a talented young woman, and she deserves a chance."
Feng Zhi shrugged. "I'm not interested in giving her a chance. You may leave now."
Mu Lin's face turned even redder with anger . She turned to look at Dong Bing who still seemed adamant on getting the job.
" Feng Zhi we have known for long ..dont you think you should do this for me " . Dong Bing Cooed with a sweet voice .
Feng Zhi stood with irritation evident on his face .
" I don't like repeating my words ..you may leave now " . He said firmly with a Note of finality .
" Fine Feng Zhi ..we would take our leave now " . Mu Lin replied with a stiff voice,afterwards she dragged Dong Bing and exited the villa , leaving Feng Zhi alone.
The next morning, Ling Mei woke up to the sound of her alarm blaring in her ear. She groggily reached over to turn it off and sat up in bed. Today was the day of her photo shoot for Director Zoe's fashion brand.
She quickly got dressed and headed to the agency. When she arrived, she was greeted by Elise, Director Zoe's secretary.
"Good morning, Miss Ling," Elise said, smiling brightly. "I'm Elise Hewitt, Director Zoe's secretary."
Ling Mei smiled back at her. "Nice to meet you, Elise."
The photo shoot began, and Ling Mei posed effortlessly in each outfit. Elise and Yan Yi watched from the sidelines, admiring Ling Mei's professionalism.
As they took a break, Yan Yi handed Ling Mei a bottle of water. "You're doing great, Ling Mei," she said, smiling.
Ling Mei took a sip of the water and smiled back at Yan Yi. "Thanks, Yan Yi. I couldn't have done it without your help."
Elise nodded in agreement. "Miss Ling is indeed very talented. I'm sure Director Zoe will be thrilled with the results."
As they continued with the photo shoot, Ling Mei couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. She was living her dream, and she was grateful for the opportunity to work with such a prestigious fashion brand.
By the time they were done, it was late in the afternoon. Ling Mei was famished and was thinking about how to fill her stomach.
