Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life

Chapter 31: Set Up

***

Next day, I and Xiao Wei practised the five animal exercises early in the morning.

After breakfast, he still tailed me to the studio. While I started to work on my dress he sat in a corner and continued to stitch. What interested me is that he referred to various tutorials and videos to produce some of the stitches.

In the afternoon after lunch, I taught him basic medical science. I kept software engineering related topics as his rewards. From Qiang, I got to know that this little Munchkin of mine is a nimble handed hacker. So I kept coding related stuff as rewards.

Our days passed in peace.

While on the other side, the medical pieces of equipment I ordered arrived on my doorsteps by the end of the week.

So I spend the weekend holed up in the basement, setting up my very own 'Futuristic Medical Unit'.

It took me a lot of work and effort, I even made 'Jiffy' my supercomputer to work with me and together we coordinated to pull off this project.

I didn't include others as these would be too high profile to expose to others and provide an explanation.

So for the whole weekend, Qiang and Xiao Wei saw me wearing a pair of overalls, gathering my hairs in a high ponytail or messy bun. Slightly sweaty while 'Jiffy' followed me around in its 'Robo avatar mode'.

After the hard work of an entire week, my medical unit is ready; all I needed to work on was a complementary medicine system and upgrading 'Jiffy' to become my nurse in case of emergency.

I have to teach the AI 'Futuristic Medical Science' as its knowledge about traditional medical practices was completed in the last few months.

****

Time passed by quick.

I didn't realise that it is already been two weeks since I holed up in my basement.

During this time, Qiang and Xiao Wei did their own work and didn't come to disturb me either. I am really grateful to their understanding nature, it really pleased me.

I am almost done with all my setup and back up measures.

By the time I surfaced, it is already two weeks to go for the Fashion Show.

"Good Morning, Zhang Wei, how was your week?"

"Good"

He kept his silence but

"Is there some matter to consider?"

"'Feling' is here in the capital city."

"Ohh.. When did he arrive?"

"Last week."

"Where is he now?"

"Government's Public Relation Office."

"Any suspicious movement?"

"He seems to ferret out information about you from public records but covertly."

"Careful, right now we have the upper hand, as we are in the dark while he is in the open."

"I understand. Do you have any instructions?"

"Don't make any move I will handle this my way."

"Okay"

We both then had our meal quietly.

(I finally managed to convince him to have his meals with me. It is too boring to have your meals alone and I didn't want to maintain a distance among us either. After all, I am neither a 'Princess' nor an 'Elite' of my previous life. I want to have people around me in this life. People I trust and care about.)

I rush to the studio to finish up the work related to the collection.

As I enter my office in the studio I am welcomed by a Post-it saying

'Check it out first' by Qiang.

Following the directions, I come across a file; it contains all the details of the event and asked for my opinions on them.

I looked through it. I realise I need to go to the Hu Corporation headquarters and the event venue to make my final decision.

I looked around in the office and find some of Xiao Wei's practise stitches. I looked at them and the more I looked the more I loved them.

I thought to incorporate them in my design as it is.

I called Qiang later in the evening and informed him that I would visit the venue and the 'Fashion House' day after tomorrow.

He was okay with it. So I turned my full attention to the evening gown I am designing for myself.

(I have to say making my own dress makes me feel good. The woman, in me, is filled with vanity.)

I worked on the dress all night long as well as I designed some customised jewellery to pair with it.

These pieces of jewellery are my own twist to complete the ensemble of my outlook.

As an ex-agent, some habits are hard to die out. Like extra vigilance around your surroundings. Carrying some inconspicuous gadgets on you, that does not ping on the radar or security check unit but adds great security and becomes handy tools when needed.

I even added some of these quirky things in my dress design too. As you can never be too cautious.

With all these, I am almost ready to face 'Feling' and the organisation backing him.
