To Love You Again

Chapter 103 - Step 2

On the top floor of SHM headquarters, four people were busying themselves.

Xian Tao, the chubbiest one who was always lazing around on the couch, was not holding his favorite ch.i.p.s but a laptop instead. He was typing madly and the laptop seems to overheat anytime.

Gi Pieng, the thinnest of them, who unusually not chewing his mint gum, has bloodshot eyes watching every CCTV footage he gathered.

Mu Fian, the muscled guy, who unhesitantly refused to join the raid for the mysterious dungeon today, was scanning a mountain of papers on his desk.

Lin Ruo, the lean man, was talking nonstop over the phone. Ring after ring he did not stop talking.

The office seems to be on fire with the four's undying passion.

This was the scene that the head receptionist witnessed when she entered the office.

She was holding the food that the four owners ordered online.

She had been knocking on the door but no one seems to hear her so she opened it and saw that the four were so busy.

"Uhm. Sirs, the food has already arrived."

Kachik. Kachik. Kachik. -keyboard

[....]? - CCTV footage

Shing. Sheng. Shing. - turning of papers

Ring. "Good morning sir, I am-" - Lin Ruo

The head receptionist was ignored.

"Uhm. I will leave the food here on the table." She walked slowly to the table. No one seems to bother with her.

She put the food on the table.

"Enjoy your lunch, Sirs." The head receptionist bowed and slowly went out.

As she closed the door, she can't help but believe what the receptionist on the ground floor told her. That they have a mysterious boss. That the four owners actually have their own boss.

If not, why it seems like the four owners work so hard like they gonna die tomorrow?

'I hope our mysterious boss will not make things hard for our four bosses. '

The head receptionist likes the four owners. Actually, all of the employees of SHM are fond of their CEO's. There's no power struggle and bribery in this company. Every single one of them had been interviewed by the four. They have been hired because they have the same view as the bosses. They are satisfied with their job as well.

The head receptionist heads out to tell the tale to her co-workers that their bosses were working hard like there's no tomorrow. She described in detail how unusual they are and how bloodshot the four's eyes were. She even told them that she delivered the food but no one seems to care to eat. Maybe they even don't have time to pee. The employees who heard of it sympathize and told it to their other co-workers. Until the entire SHM knew of its news. One security guard who was on duty last night heard this story from the guard who was on duty this morning. As he heard of that, he also said.

"Oh. Actually, the four bosses did not even go home. They are still in the office?" The security guard who was on the phone was stunned and told this story to the cleaning lady. The cleaning lady sympathizes with their bosses as well and told this story to every female who went to the toilet room.

Hence, every head of each department ran a meeting to help their bosses by working hard as well. They need to finish their own reports quickly. Reporters, with burning heart scoop news passionately.

SHM was on fire.

Meanwhile, the four in the office was working hard in their task.

Mu Fian put down the last paper in his hand. He massaged his forehead and rub his eyes. He could not help but comment,

"Waah. It feels like I've come back to the days where we are staying in our small office."

Lin Ruo put down the phone. It was the last call for today.

"Yeah. It reminds me of when we feature our first story."

Xian Tao clicked the enter key hardly and closed the laptop.

"But we're working on a big one this time. It can't compare the ones we have before."

Gi Pieng was still staring hard at the monitor. He did not comment.

However, his stomach grumbled.

Afterward, three grumbles of stomach sounded consecutive.

Xian Tao was the first one who noticed the food on the table. He ran for it.

Mu Fan was the nearest so he grabbed it. But the time that he grabbed it, Lin Ruo with long arms, took it swiftly.

"First come first serve." Lin Ruo smiled cheekily.

The two waited patiently to receive their portions. They began eating and persuade Gi Pieng to eat.

They already finished eating and they persuade Gi Pieng once more to eat.

They are now about to start the meeting and threatened Gi Pieng that they will eat his portion.

Finally, as they were opening the food box, Gi Pieng turned to them.

The three exhaled loudly as they saw that Gi Pieng's eyes were so red. It looks like blood would flow out from it any moment.

Gi Pieng was so thin, so his face was bony.

The light from the monitor makes his face more skeletal.

Then he smiled creepily to them.

"Guys. I found something interesting."

*******

In IHZHI CEO's office. Two people were facing each other.

"Have you finished reading it?" Fang Dien asked Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei nodded.

"I agree with you. Based on what I know of Ms. Xiong Zhi, she will likely take this path. "

It was Fang Dien's turn to nod.

"It's risky. But if our premonition is right. We will gain enormous benefits from this. I can see ArtWorld as a future rival of WonderLand. "

Xiao Mei smiled.

"Aren't we taking a risk in every project we make? What it brought us so far? Ms. Xiong Zhi believes ArtWorld would work with or without 'that ' land. I believe it as well."

Fang Dien shakes his head but he smiled.

"We do not yet know what she truly decides for this."

Xiao Mei just smiled and did not answer.

They both tacitly agreed that Ms. Xiong Zhi would take this path. Ever since they met her, she surprisingly brought miracles to them. She likes to take a big risk that would bring huge benefits. IHIZHI would not grow so fast and this big without her guidance.

She and Fang Dien was truly amazed and revered this little girl.

The door opened and a man in his fifties came.

"Mr. Co, Good morning. " Fang Dien and Xiao Mei stand up. Xiao Mei went to greet him first and lead him to sit on the table.

Mr. Co bowed at Fang Dien. Fang Dien bowed as well and they seated.

"This is the list of biggest lands under Land Co. The range is 2000-4000 hectares." Mr. Co gave Fang Dien and Xiao Mei each folder.

Mr. Co was the former owner of Land Co. Now he was part of the board of directors of IHZHI.

(A/n: refer to chapter 81)

The two take their time to study the land. After a while, they both put down the folder.

"Thank you. I think we need to visit these lands personally. We need your cooperation with this." Fang Dien told Mr. Co.

Mr. Co nodded.

"Yes, sir. I'll schedule it within this week."

Mr. Co hesitated for a bit. But in order to really suggest his ideas for this unknown project, he asked the CEO and the Vice-director.

"Uhm. May I know why we need these lands? I've been in this industry for three decades. I know the in and out of those lands. Maybe I can suggest useful things for this project."

Fang Dien and Xiao Mei exchanged glances. They never planned to conceal to this to Mr. Co anyway since he would be a part of the project once they were given a signal from Xiong Zhi.

"Alright. It's not yet decided, but maybe you can suggest a thing or two...."

The two then informed Mr. Co of this new project.
