This morning, the Chengs' mansion felt gloomy. Cheng Chanyue couldn't believe that the biological daughter whom he had deemed useless was actually a major player in the business world.
He had missed a big opportunity to connect with big players through his daughter.
Now, that gold mine had been recognised by the Shens. Did he still have a chance to reconnect with her?
"Darling, is the news true?" asked Su Tingran with a pale face. "I didn't know that she was such an important person. Why did she hide it from us? Did she belittle us?"
Cheng An pouted. "Mom, I told you, from the start, she didn't put us in her eyes at all."
Su Tingran snorted. "Did she think we didn't do as great as her adopted family, so she looked down on us?"
"Is that even a matter?!" shouted Cheng Chanyue in annoyance. "What did matter was that we missed a chance to use her as our stepping stone!"
"But honey, seeing her hiding it like that, do you think she will allowed us to use her?" asked Su Tingran. "Anyway, is she that amazing? I think people just exaggerate her strenght."
BAMM!!!
Cheng Chanyue hit the table, his face was red in anger.
"Shut up if you don't know anything!"
Su Tingran frowned but stayed silent.
Cheng An looked at her useless father. Her mind was grinding, trying to make a plan so she wouldn't get burned by this stupid father of her.
Cheng Zen, who was silent since the beginning stared at his phone, bewildered.
This person...was that country bumpkin?
How?
Cheng Chanyue grabbed his phone and search for Shen Xia's phone number. A minute later, he was shocked when he couldn't find her number.
Did he never input her contact information before?
Those days, when she was still in the Cheng's mansion, how did they contact each other?
He couldn't remember.
Cheng Chanyue frowned, trying to come up with a plan that he could use to get close to that Shen Yayi's daughter.
While Cheng Chanyue thought hard, Cheng An looked toward her parents with disgust.
Her father was obviously trying to get close to that cheap girl. Her mother was seething in anger, furious, that Shen Yayi's daughter turned out to be a big person that she couldn't mess with.
Then, she looked at her brother, was still in a daze. She couldn't phantom what he was thinking. But, it better be a negative thought toward that cheap girl.
Cheng An lowered her face, trying to hide her resentment.
She wished she had more power to step on that cheap girl. All this time, she was the best and most sought after for being a daughter-in-law in her generation. She couldn't let Shen Xia took that from her.
She need to meet with Zhao Jingfeng, fast. If that cheap girl could seduce him, she must be able to do it too, and better than that cheap girl.
After all, she was more adorable and closer to Madam Zhao.
That kind of career oriented women was probably won't be accepted by Madam Zhao.
Ah yes, she should visit Madam Zhao first!
Then she could use Madam Zhao to meet him!
Such a good plan!
Cheng An smiled thriumphantly. She pulled out her phone and started to chat Madam Zhao.
Cheng Chanyue accidentally saw Cheng An's smile.
He was dissapointed by this daughter for the first time.
In the past, he was so proud of her, since many young masters chased after her. Except some weirdos like young master Zhao or young master Feng's circle of friend, the rest was enchanted by his daughter.
But, now, he hoped that this daughter could be as astounding as Shen Xia.
Why did Cheng An only work at his company? Why didn't she make her own like Shen Xia?
And he heard the rumor.
Zhao Jingfeng was chasing after Shen Xia.
If that was true, then he need to reconnect with that biological daughter sooner.
After all, young master Zhao was one of the sought after son-in-law right now. After all, he was one of the little few young masters who had already took care of their own family business.
He was a a promising son-in-law.
He would die in anger if he lose this chance.
In Shen's mansion, while the Chengs were in chaos, Shen Xia was also in anguish. She sat on the sofa in the living room. In front of her, stood Daniel, her special assistant.
Yesterday, marked the end of her vacation. And today, in the early morning, where even chicken had not cooed yet, this assistant of hers had already showed himself in front of her.
Not alone.
But with a big suitcase in tow.
Damn it.
She didn't know since when she started to love lazing around, but, she had missed her vacation already.
"It's been a long time, President," said Daniel, with a million voltages smile in his face. "I miss you. Oh, and the documents also missed you."
Shen Xia's mouth corner twitched. "Oh."
"I know you miss your work, so I bring the documents here, as soon as possible. Are you happy, President?" asked Daniel, again, with a questinable smile in his face.
Shen Xia sighed. "Just said it, you, are, jealous, right?"
Daniel's smile didn't move an inch. "What are you talking about, President? I don't understand."
Shen Xia rolled her eyes. "I told you, to choose a diciple, but you refused. What, can't handle it when someone else being my assistant?"
"Of course not. Don't worry, President. Last month, I have met with a realization, that I need someone to help you if something happened to me. So I have chosen two new personels. Two, because I don't think anybody could replace me alone."
"Really?" Shen Xia was amazed. "I thought you will be alone, like, forever."
Daniel's smile still intact, but nobody knew how sad he was when he found out, that his boss was having a blast while vacationing. She even spent time with a man!
He wanted to be in love, too.
So, with a heavy heart, he chose two personels to undergo a strict education on how to become a perfect assistant for President Stella.
He just hoped that with these new helps, he could used some of his time to get a girlfriend.
Shen Xia sighed, then stood up from the sofa. "Follow me."
Grandpa Shen had prepared a room for her temporary study room so that they wouldn't need to use her bedroom to work.
Daniel dragged the big suitcase to the elevator, following Shen Xia to the fifth floor.
All morning, thanks to Daniel, Shen Xia was drown by documents. Thankfully, that eager assistant still remembered that she had not had a breakfast yet.
Shen Xia closed the last folder that was given by Daniel. She turned her head toward the sky.
I want to play with Yan Yan.
