Inside the spacious but minimalist office room,
He Kai Xin tried to avoid the menacing glare from the man standing tall in front of him like a king interrogating his subordinate.
This two weeks he never stopped praying to the god above. But it's true that god didn't love one who only come to him only on their desperate time and certainly he is that 'one'.
His hand was clenched tightly just to prevent them from shivering. He was so nervous about how to answer the question. Being honest and telling him what he want to know so he could escape him unscathed was the first options that flashed in his mind.
"Uncle, could you please oversee this one." he pleaded. Still not dare to look up.
For your information, his uncles here was not the typical beer-bellied-middle-aged man. Beside his physical figure of that greek god that he often envy, his face was more stunning than that famous K-idol that currently sending wave in this country. Even he who share the same DNA with him can not hold a candle before him, but you have to remember, that he; He Kai Xin was much, much more handsome than that K-idol! Underline it! He is much more handsome!
Anyway, he is only second to his uncle! No one can pull down his rank.
"I can guarantee she won't make trouble." He Kai Xin try to push his luck.
Then again, he couldn't betray the other side. He is in a tight spot where he don't know which side to choose. Either side have an equal risk for him.
If his uncle was the king that his words was law he must obey, then the other one was a queen that he is in any way couldn't afford to offend. Both was a royal member that has no second thought to end
his poor life.
He is insignificant little subject in front of the king and the queen.
The two of them hold the same position in deciding his destiny. The two of them has the ability to drag him to hell. Which unfortunately for him to be trapped between their webs. Like a prey to a spider, he is wrapped tightly in their clutch, waiting to be devoured.
"Is she your girlfriend?"
He Kai Xin chocking on his own saliva hearing the question. He had no spear life to claim the queen as his girlfriend, he is just a little eunuch trying to make living.
"No uncle, she is not!" his answer come after the choking.
But, thinking about girlfriend and boyfriend, a sudden grief log into his heart. Tears streaming down his cheeks without him knowing. This morning his girlfriend asking for break up. He is sad, indeed, but to say that he is heartbroken is actually exaggerating, his love for her was not that deep. Not enough for him to get into one-day hunger strike. But they has been together for a long five years and that you can imagine how much money he has had spending for her. A complete lost was in his side!
"Save your crocodile tears!" there is an obvious impatient in his voice. He is not in the mood to entertain his nephew.
"Then uncle, please keep her." using the back of his hand He Kai Xin wiped his face. He didn't know why he is even crying in the first place.
"No qualifications, no talent, no experience. Better give her money or make her your assistance Kai Xin. My company is not a playhouse."
What?! make her my assistant? is he insane? her being his assistant, no, no, NO! it's a suicide!
He won't let that happen even if the planet earth explode.

Hatchi...
It is the third time she is sneezing. Which blabber mouth gossiping behind her back. She swear if she found the culprit, she will make sure to shove their face into a cow dang!
Everyone attention shifted to her. The look in their eyes was full of dislike. They were holding a mini meeting for the up coming project and her sneezing that coincidentally happened in the middle of the head department speak certainly only add oil to their discontent.
"If you're sick, you better go home Miss. Han." Su Cha said worriedly. Her word might seems caring.
"No worry Miss. Su, it's just a common cold." It is not that she missed the malicious glare that flashed on her eyes. She decided to play along. Want to see how far she will go. Also, she has to admit, she actually feel light-headed since entering the meeting room. The overwhelming scent of sunflowers prickle her nose that make her unconsciously hold her breath. In results she has had not enough air in her lungs. It's caused dizziness.
Unfortunately, in the morning she overheard Su Cha with two of her friends ware gossiping inside the restroom.
According their storytelling, she got the job because of under-table dealing that including her being gold-diggers. It was true she got someone to help her to get the job. But about her being gold-diggers, she would appreciate if they said she is a materialistic. A person with shallow minding who value money on top of everything.
It's doesn't wrong. Materialistic was a basic survivor instinct for anyone to lead a comfortable life.
"Maya will be responsible for this project." Director Huang said.
"Director, I afraid I can't take this one. I already work in four project." Maya Lin declined. "Yidian Park was not a big project I thought it will be good for Miss. Han to learn. I can give her assistance."
After a few consideration Huang Yujing nodding her head and the meeting was adjourned.
