"Finally" exclaimed Xiao Mei feeling the sun rays shinning upon her after a three weeks of hospital stay infact she felt completely fine the moment she woke up but doctor Lu Che didn't agree according to him people who lose their memory find it hard to settle back in their life thus he asked Xiao Me to stay three weeks .
"You sure look relieved?"
Xiao Mei turned around a woman in her late twentys was walking towards her.
"Isn't that obvious Linzhi?" answered Xiao Mei.
Xu Linzhi Xiao Mei best friend inLight and hope and the only one who supported Xiao Mei through thick and thin . Xu Linzhi was chubby but cute and most importantly she never cared about what people said About her even now she was muching on a choco chips muffin.
"Well yes but you look like you're running away from something" murmured Xu Linzhi
Xiao Mei didn't respond to her but she knew Xu Linzhi was right Xiao Mei had spent half of her past life in hospital and between medication the smell of medicines were now enough to get her nauseous.
Their cab stopped in front of an extravagant looking apartment building know as The Golden Age after the Heavens Residency, The Golden Age was known to be the second best in Beijing.
Xiao Mei took in the image of the building and turned around to look at Xu Linzhi who was carrying the career bag .
"Is it done?"
"wait what?Oh you're asking about whether or not I changed your apartment Pass code don't worry its a done deal" answered Xu Linzhi if she was honest to herself when Xiao Mei asked her to change her apartment passcode Xu Linzhi was so thrilled she nearly cried after all it took 7 years and a trip to hell to make Xiao Mei realize who were true to her and who weren't.
" Then I should thank you" said Xiao Mei gratefully.
"Oh please " shaking off her thankfulness Xu Linzhi pushed her in the elevator and followed "but Are you sure you want to join the company so soon I mean you just woke up "
" Do you think President Luo will wait for me to come and join whenever I want ?" questioned Xiao Mei blandly .
" Oh of course not that bastard Im sure he is searching for a replacement as we speak !" muttered Xu Linzhi angrily
" That's why I need to join as soon as I can " explained Xiao Mei gently " I don't have a back up if I end up losing this job how am I suppose to survive with my entire life memories lost "
Truly speaking Xiao Mei wasn't trying to guilt trip Xu Linzhi but the woman was such a chatter box Xiao Mei couldn't help but remind her that even though she was kind towards her but in truth she doesn't remember Xu Linzhi thus she need to refrain herself from chattering away in front of her .
And like everytime Xu Linzhi simply nodded and her chattering died away .
Xu Linzhi knew that the current Xiao Mei was too cold to her but at least Xiao Mei behaviour towards her was better than others with that thought in mind she simply pushed every negative thoughts at the back of her mind and bid Xiao Mei good night.
...
" Look who is that?"
" god she looks hot "
" Do we have such an excellent looking intern in our office?"
" Hey! should I ask her for drinks tonight?"
heated whispers trailed behind the woman who was dressed in black jeans with white buttoned up shirt and a denim jacket her delicate face was covered in the least amount of makeup and she was ignoring every bit of murmuring as if it was daily feat for her.
" Hey ISN'T THAT HEAD SECRETARY MISS XIAO!?" there was a sudden intake of collective breathes many people gasped as of they couldn't believe what they were seeing
" OMG AM I REALLY SEEING THAT THE BLACK WIDOW IS DRESSED IN SOMETHING OTHER THAN BLACK DRESS?"
"Whoa I never knew our head secretary was this hot "
The woman was of course none other than Xiao Mei,
Many were impressed by her new look but there were some who weren't.
" Gosh what a bitch after doing all that attention drama she is back"
" Honestly if I were her I would be too ashamed too show my face "
" Well a bitch will always be a bitch "
" I heard her memory is gone can she even do her job "
Xu Linzhi heard each and every sentence and with each sentence her face grew redder and redder with anger .
" These intern they don't even know anything don't listen to them -"
but rest of her words were blocked when she rushed into a human back . Xu Linzhi looked up and saw Xiao Mei standing in front of the creative department with an odd smile , the smile was not actually a smile but something worse even Xu Linzhi felt a shiver running up her spine she does not even wanted to know how the others felt right now. The whispering had stopped and everyone was looking at Xiao Mei if it was in the past Xiao Mei would have left without bothering but right now she was standing in front of their department with a bone chilling smile. Even the head of the department Mr Pei wanted to run for the hills after looking at The changed Xiao Mei she didn't looked even half as similar as her past naive self instead Mr Pei felt that a devil had ascended from hell and was standing im front of him not to mention the new interns who were now trembling all of their previous arrogance were gone and their face was as pale as paper.
"Ms Xiao-" Mr Pei wanted to intervene before things got out of hands but Xiao Mei words rendered his efforts to save the interns useless.
" Ms Gu , Ms Liu and Ms Heng please go to the finance department later and settle your accounts I'm afraid our TE Enterprises can not afford such interns who does not even know who they can or cannot offend if I don't settle you today its possible in future that outsiders may question our companies work ethics .Isn't that right Mr Pei?" asked Xiao Mei coldly when she was finished with firing those arrogant Interns.
" Ah yes Miss Xiao " said Mr Pei bleakly honestly he wanted to save those interns but he of course cannot offend Xiao Mei not only was she the head secretary President Luo had given her the power to fire or suspend anyone four years ago so if he dared to offend her when she was already in foul mood .
Mr Pei gulped and than turned to ask those interns to leave.
" If your mouth remained even more agape I'm afraid a fly may end up in it " said Xiao Mei jokingly
THEY had long left the creative department but Xu Linzhi still had that shocked expression which she had when Xiao Mei fired those interns.
Xu Linzhi closed her mouth but than opened it almost instantly
" You go Girl! Honestly if you were going to change so much I would have surely hit your head earlier so that you can lose your memories early" joked Xu Linzhi " Now I'msure no one will look down on you even that bitch"
Xiao Mei nodded her to let Xu Linzhi know that she was listening. This was one of the reason why she fired those interns because she wanted to warn the monkey by killing the chicken Xiao Mei knew that those interns had nothing on her and how come they knew that she lost her memory if nobody told them with that thought in her mind she came to a conclusion no matter how much she tried to stay off course of the novel she will never succeed since yhe others won't let her off if that's the case why not clear her way ? .
...
" How dare she ! " screeched Tang Ning
of course what happened in the creativedepartment had long reached her. It was her who had pushed those interns to her side it took her an entire month to bring thoseinterns to her side but it only took three minutes for Xiao Mei to fire them .
" I told you not to Push yourself " said A young man picking up what the latter had thrown on the ground he stood up straight " You're lucky she didn't interrogate them do you have any idea -"
"SHUT UP DONG HE WHAT DO YOU KNOW!" yelled Tang Ning " for seven years I acted as her side kick just to make LuoTing notice me but look what happened! her one suicide attempt and he is ready to take her back!"
TangNing hated it she hated the fact that XiaoMei was capable of stealing Luo Ting from her bit she forgot that she too stole LuoTing from Xiao Mei.
" You need to relax" said Dong He " The past and present are diffrent we have no idea What the present Xiao Mei is thinking she is not the past Xiao Mei who would listen to your every advice "
" Get Out ! " ordered Tang Ning coldly she didn't cared what DongHe thought of the situation she had worked so hard how could she let Xiao Mei to mess up her entire plan no she cannot stop she needed to take the head secretary post from her!
Dong He scowled but left Tang Ning office.
Soon TangNing too left her office as she rushed off somewhere.
But unknown to both Dong He and Tang Ning Xiao Mei saw every thing thanks to her Spider spy cams that she made in her three weeks hospital confinement. In her past life she invented these spider cams which looked transparent and recharged their battery with light photons it only took a lot of patience to control and place them in correct angle since they were similar to remote control system.
She wouldn't have used them if Tang Ning showed some control buf given how she was trying to scheme even in her absence Xiao Mei had no choice to use spider cams for her satisfaction.
Xiao Mei turned off her tablet and turned on her laptop where she started to take care of her piled up work she didn't even tried to search for Tang Ning via other spider cams because she knew whers she left in such a hurry if Xiao Mei was right she would soon be called where Tang Ning rushed off to.
As if cue her office phone rang .
" Head secretary Xiao Mei speaking " Xiao Mei spoke as she answered the phone call.
" Come to my office" called a cold detached voice.
Xiao Mei sneered at the phone head but left her office soon she arrived at Luo Ting office given both the office were right adjacent to each other .
Taking in a cold breath to calm her anger Xiao Mei knocked on the door.
" Come In"
Xiao Mei entered the well adorned but classy office room and as she predicted Tang Ning sttod beside LuoTing chair concern was dripping from her eyes but Xiao Mei knew better .
Luo Xi too sat at her desk in the other side of the office her fingers were clicking away but Xiao Mei knew her attention was on her.
" President Luo" Xiao Mei addressed LuoTing politely as much as she disliked him for his short sightedness he was her boss and currently she was in need of a job .
" With your memory gone I think it will hard for you to take on your responsibility so are you ready to leave it temporarily to Tang Ning?"
Temporarily? Xiao Mei sneered in her heart she was certain that once she let go of her post it would be near to impossible to get her post back.
TangNing and others waited for a long time but Xiao Mei didn't respond as if taking her silence as agreement Tang Ning cheered in her heart .
" She I told you brother Ting Sister Mei isn't irrarional she will agree " picking up the document from front of LuoTing TangNing approached Xiao Mei " Here sister Mei sign here I know you care about this company and will not refuse "
Gleeful Tang Ning turned around still lost in her fantasies about how she will make Xiao Mei suffer under her but than she heard the awful sound of paper ripping.
Horrified she turned around only to see Xiao Mei tossing the crumpled up contract in the dustbin.
As if Xiao Mei could sense her gaze she turned around and smiled No! that wasn't a smile she was sneering at her!.
" It seems President Luo had forgotten that it was I who helped him in the past even if I lost my memory doesn't mean others have too Is this how President Luo is going to award me after seven years of sacrifices?" asked Xiao Mei her voice freezing cold .
"No Sister Mei it was I ..I was simply concerned about you-"
"Your concerns are as unnecessary as My unwanted memories if I can act as Head secretary seven years ago without experience I can act as one seven year later" snapped Xiao Mei " and please refrain yourself from calling me sister I don't have a sister who back bite me when I'm down " .
" No I - I no.." rest if Tang Ning words were muffled as she started sobbing but Xiao Mei simply ignored her and turned her sharp eyes towards LuoTing .
LuoTing was already in immeasurable pain when he heard Xiao Mei calling their memories as unwanted and unnecessary but it was nothing compared to her finishing blow .
" I m aware of what happened between us Xu Linzhi told me but I would like to clarify I'm not after the Luo name or your wealth I will leave the Luo family soon "said Xiao Mei blankly as if the world was something she had long detached herself from " And I have already paid back what I owe you President Luo when I nearly died if you want to take anymore interest you are free to take it from the other two "
Turning around Xiao Mei left the room but her absence only made things worse .
LuoTing who was already on verge to go bersek finally snapped and the glass in his hand was crushed to bits.
" Brother Ting-" started TangNing she wanted to comfort him to let him know the difference between her and Xiao Mei but who knew not only would he simply threw her hand off he would also throw her out of his room
" Leave" LuoTing spat this ONE word as he turned away from her. TangNing wanted to quarrel with him but after sensing the coldness surrounding LuoTing she left silently.
