At the lobby, a young secretary came to Cheng MeiMei, "Ms Cheng,"
It was Yunru who volunteered to get the guest.
Cheng MeiMei's face lit up. At least he still remembers her and sends someone to pick her up.
"I will guide you to the CEO's office, please follow me", she turned and went to the elevator area.
Cheng MeiMei would like to ask why they are not using the CEO's elevator but thought that maybe, this secretary is not allowed to use it so she has to go with her with the regular elevator.
--
Inside the CEO's office, she was playing her game on her laptop while he was trying to get her attention. He already turned off his computer when a knock was heard.
He's not opening the door so she said, "come in" as she pressed the remote to unlock the door.
Cheng MeiMei was surprised to see him side by side with a young girl who did not look up to see her. She immediately changed her expression and focused on Ming YaoFeng.
"Ah Yao," she called out to him affectionately.
He did not stand up and pointed to the seat in front of them.
"How can we help you Ms. Cheng", he said formally without taking off his eyes on the screen of the girl beside her. She was playing a battle of turrets and was seriously fighting with ease.
The sound of her killings were heard from time to time, "K.O.","superkill","monsterkill"
"Ah Yao, it's been years since we last saw each other. I was not even able to thank you for helping me out in the past." she reminded him as if trying to catch his attention.
"Why didn't you kill him?" he asked the girl beside her?
"I'm weak, nobody will protect me, unless I have an assassin beside me, the guy who's with me earlier is still reviving himself," the girl beside him explained.
Cheng MeiMei sat there awkwardly.
"Can I play one more round, but this time with the trio?" she asked.
"Okay", he said dotingly. If they have no guest today, he will not allow her to play with those three people who make's him feel so old especially when the four of them do rank games.
She immediately took the phone and pressed a button. While waiting, she looked at the woman in front of them, "Eh? We have a guest? Why didn't you tell me?" she scolded the guy beside her.
Cheng MeiMei was surprised but seeing that she's scolding him, she thought she could use her to get close to him.
"Hello, My name is Cheng MeiMei, I was Ah Hao's girlfriend..", she was not able to finish her words.
"Hi! It's me Xiao Yuyu", the girl smiled sweetly.
But her next words made her frown.
"Are the other two busy? The three of you are allowed to battle with me."
"Nope. The boss only allowed the four of us in one round. I think it's time to show off"
"Yup, see you"
She put down the phone and smiled at the two people who were waiting for her.
"Sorry, don't mind me, go ahead and talk among yourselves okay", she get back to her computer and did not bother the two of them.
Her hands automatically moved to his drawer to borrow an earpiece with a mic.
Cheng MeiMei was thinking of something to stay longer.
"Ms. Cheng, what can we do for you? We are quite busy today", he said, hurrying her.
What busy?! She just said she's going to play a game.
"Ah Yao, how about we talk somewhere private?" she asked him. He raised his eyebrows.
"I'm sorry Ms. Cheng if my office doesn't seem private to you, then there's no other private place I could consider", he looked at her with insult.
"That's not what I mean." she said helplessly. "I just came here and wanted to have a meal with you, is that okay", she asked humbly.
"My family will not allow me." he said. This is the same answer she did back then. He watched his wife's lips slowly curved.
But to Cheng MeiMei, this is like reminding her how her family humiliated him those times.
It was during their first year in the university when she protected him over some bullying seniors.
He really doesn't mind being bullied as he was more focused on studying. However, this girl felt that she needed to protect him so she asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her parents to stop them matching her to other men she doesn't like. He did not agree nor disagree. But that made a misunderstanding and soon, the whole school thought they were together.
Since her family was influential, the bullies did not bother him and he was able to study smoothly.
She, on the other hand, lived on her ideas and introduced him to her parents when he's most vulnerable. He was meeting the principal then for an overseas internship when an aristocrat lady came to the office and looked down on him. He hated women even before that because of the Ming clan but her family was so much. He doesn't even know her name back then, until her mother take away that important internship from him using her connections. From then on wards, he never stopped working for himself.
"We are going to start soon. The two of you, haven't you settled yet what you need to settle?" Yuyu asked innocently looking back and forth at the other two.
"She's asking me out to eat but my family will not agree and I don't want to eat with her", he told her as if he was offended.
Her face frowned. As if having a hard time. "Yeah I'm ready, you can start the matching", she said without taking off her eyes on the two of them.
"Ms. Cheng right? Tell us what we can help you with so we can agree and disagree now", she said in a very gentle yet powerful tone. My wife is awesome.
Cheng MeiMei did not come unprepared. She has a project in mind that she can collaborate with the Ming Corporation.
"Since we cannot discuss this over a meal, I'll tell you now. I have a project collaboration to offer with your company", she stared directly at the CEO who did not bother to look at her and focused on the game she's playing.
"Thank you Fei Fei for protecting me", she said coyly.
The CEOs aura turned cold as he watched. "We don't want to make any collaboration with you Ms Cheng. We have a lot in our hands at the moment and even in the future, we don't want to have anything to do with you", he said coldly.
In the game, they were three towers ahead and the three of them kept on protecting her. She's playing a girl cat character and she seemed like circling and circling among her teammates happily.
"Ah Yao, please don't be like this. Let's forget the past and start anew. I'm sorry I was insensitive before." she said, still trying to be calm.
"And you think you are being sensitive now? I don't want to work with you. I hope you can respect that." He said coldly.
"I just want to be friends with you. I'll be back again some other time when you are not busy," she said. She stood up, he pressed a button to call for someone to get her out and she seemed like waiting for them to send her off. However, the two of them seemed to be in another world.
Before she reached the door, she heard the two arguing,
"Is that Tian Tian? Why does it look like you are making love with him?"
"Shut up! Don't you see I'm healing him! He's my protector. He protects me!"
"Why do you keep circling around him? Are you flirting with him?"
"This is how we heal others! Look at FeiFei, he's losing health, I need to go near him so I can activate heal, automatically the character will circle around the person you cast heal with."
"Then don't heal them! Let them die!"
"How ungrateful! They protected me! My job is to heal them when they get injured"
The other three are all laughing at the other end of the earpiece which he doesn't hear.
(Whoa! The CEO is viscous! NO, he's jealous! hahahaha)
He then spoke near the earpiece,
"I cannot stop her healing you. But if the three of you protect her, I will fire you!!!"
