BXBX NOVEL Chapter 95 - Step 2
Chapter 95 - Step 2
Xiong Zhi entered the top floor of IHZI. The guard knew her and the receptionist lead her to the top floor. The most private area in this building.
She was heading to Fang Dien\'s office when she heard a laugh.
It was a familiar laugh.
Familiar yet strange.
Xiong Zhi changed directions and she arrived at Gu Zhen\'s room.
The door was slightly opened.
She already has an idea who could it be. But to be sure, she still checked it out.
Slowly, she pushed the door open wide.
"Wow. This is so cool. You are really a genius!"
Song Xuantin praised Gu Zhen wholeheartedly.
Gu Zhen adjusts his eyeglasses to hide his embarrassment.
"It\'s not yet done. I\'m actually just starting it. Once my other project is done, I will start modifying it. Do you like it?"
Song Xuantin smiled the most pretty smile she has.
"Of course! If you released this game, I will be the first to install this!"
Gu Zhen just smiled. He typed another code.
"Actually, I would like to have your opinion on this one. Which color of the hair you like?"
"Ah! I like red! Make it longer."
The two were immersed in creating an avatar.
Xiong Zhi just stared at the two. She found Gu Zhen a little bit livelier today. And Song Xuantin was smiling a lot.
\'Good for them.\'
She was about to mind her own business and close the door and when her phone rang.
Ring!
The two quickly looked at her direction.
"Zhi!"
Song Xuantin was stunned.
Gu Zhen just nodded at her.
Xiong Zhi was embarrassed that she was caught observing the two.
"I\'m just passing by. Don\'t mind me." Then she closed the door.
She quickly left that hall and arrived at Fang Dien\'s office. But no one seemed to go after her.
Her phone rang once again.
Xiong Zhi took it out and saw Linfeng\'s name.
She answered it.
"Young Miss?" Linfeng\'s hesitant voice sounded.
Xiong Zhi listened quietly to his voice. It\'s been too long since they talked to each other.
"En."
Linfeng laid back on the back seat of the car.
"I\'ve heard the news from my father. Where are you now?"
Xiong Zhi walked nearer to the window.
Looking at the clouds.
"City A. "
"You?" She added.
"..I\'m on my way to you."
Silence meet him.
"Okay. Coffee shop City A near the tower." Xiong Zhi finally gave an address.
"Got it. I\'ll be there in 15 minutes."
It was silent again.
Linfeng waits for Xiong Zhi to end the call. But it\'s been a minute, she was still not ending it.
"Is there anything else?"
Linfeng blurted out a question. Which made him slap his forehead. How could he ask that when he was the one who called?
So he rephrased.
"Do you want me to grab something on the way?"
Xiong Zhi looked down at the cities below. It was morning. It was how everyday looks like. But with Linfeng\'s voice,? this day was becoming more serene.
"No. It\'s fine."
"...oh. Then uhm..see you later."
Silent.
"See you at the coffee shop near the tower."
Silent.
"Uhm..I\'ll end the call now?"
Xiong Zhi finally answered.
"Okay."
"..." It was Linfeng\'s turn to be silent.
"Okay.? See you."
"Mhhm. See you."
Yet no one ends the call.
Finally, Linfeng got the courage to say one word before he ends the call.
"Bye."
Toot. Toot
Xiong Zhi looked at the phone. It\'s too bad. She could not listen all day.
The door opened and Fang Dien came to view.
"Ms. Xiong Zhi, it\'s a pleasure to have you here." Fang Dien was already notified by the receptionist that his boss was here.
"Have a tea first. " Fang Dien went to the private kitchen to serve tea for Xiong Zhi.
"No need. I\'ll be here in just a few minutes. Let\'s talk."
Fang Dien walked to the table and sat. He learned something from his boss in these past months.
Xiong Zhi rarely comes to IHZHI. And if she comes, major things happened in the company. She might have some urgent things to discuss with him.
"I just want you to study this matter. This file-" the same file that Xiong Zhi given to SHM\'s owners. She have the original copy and the SHM got the photocopies.
"- has a project called ArtWorld. I want you to see if this project will be huge in the future. Huge as if it could take IHZHI to a new level. If in your perspective, it wasn\'t that worth it. Then tell me. I will not pursue this project and deal with it normally."
Fang Dien was silent.
"Why you want my decision? I know for sure that you have decided about it already."
Xiong Zhi gave a silent approval to Fang Dien\'s wits.
She hasn\'t told him anything yet he knows that she had already decided about it.
But, if she follows her will, IHZHI would be in a dire situation. And who would face all those critical situations? It was Fang Dien who would suffer the most.
"I told you. You\'re the CEO. You have to decide carefully. If this project is worth it or not. Or what we have right now is more important. Don\'t worry. I have other solutions. Your opinion on this will not really affect what I have in mind. "
Fang Dien was curious.
\'Seems like it is really a big matter.\'
He doesn\'t have any idea what this project is. But he would surely review this one and would give his honest opinion about this.
"Should I consider the other matters? Or just the project itself?"
Fang Dien wants to double-check what Xiong Zhi really wants. But then he takes it back.
"Never mind. I will just give you a separate report. How much time do I have?"
Xiong Zhi thought about it.
"Three days."
"Alright. I\'ll send the email to you in three days."
"Okay." Xiong Zhi stands up.
Fang Dien stands up as well.
"You\'re leaving already?"
Fang Dien could not help but wonder what on earth Xiong Zhi was up to every day.
She was so young yet so busy.
"Yeah. I\'ll be in a coffee shop."
"There\'s a coffee here." He offered.
"No. It\'s more than just a coffee." Xiong Zhi could not help but smile a little. She, of course, would meet the love of her life.
Fang Dien just wondered if Xiong Zhi was a coffee addict who\'s very meticulous when it comes to coffee.
