Meixiu holds the suitcase as Xiaowen stands up and approaches her. Xiaowen saw the suitcase and snatch it away from Meixiu.
"This money is mine! Not yours!"
Looking at Xiaowen, Meixiu just nodded her head and look back at Renshu.
"We will go now" Renshu happily nodded his head. His eyes landed on Tingfeng who received his 57th slap.
"How about that one?" Meixiu looks at him.
"I don't care, I don't know him."
After saying that, she quickly left the building together with Xiaowen. The people outside were joyous when they saw Xiaowen with the money.
"Xiaowen finally got our money!"
"Yeah! Meixiu is the true hero!"
Meixiu looks at the people as if they are telling her a joke.
"What are you all saying? I work hard to get my mother's money! You all should also get it!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Meixiu. They all approach her and kneel in front of her. Shocking Xiaowen in the process.
She then looks at Meixiu. The girl seems to be giving her a different image.
Is this still that useless bastard? I saw Kang Renshu kneels and now, it's them!?
"Meixiu! We were only joking!"
"We didn't mean it! We are blinded by that bastard Tingfeng!"
"Yeah! Coming here with the expensive car!"
With whatever pleased they say, Meixiu didn't listen to them. She looks at Xiaowen before giving her mother a small smile.
"Mom, please don't tell this to Xiaohui."
"Of course! She'll get angry at me! I still need to put the house money before Xiaohui looks at it!"
Xiaowen left without saying anything. Meixiu just looks at her fading figure with people still kneeling in front of her.
"Meixiu! Please! Help us! We needed the money!"
"Yes! You are our hero! Meixiu!"
Meixiu glanced at them before leaving in her scooter. Since she's already outside, why not visit Sapphire Group.
She looks up and admires the building. Sapphire Group has a big building with a unique design.
It has 58 floors with the top being the Chairman's office. Meixiu told Wenqian to move towards the 58th floor because she won't be there much.
As soon as she park her scooter outside, she was greeted by someone she was familiar with.
"Song Meixiu? I'm surprised to see you here!" Meixiu looks at him with a smile.
Xu Jiayi was a classmate of Xiaohui and Meixiu. Before the two got married, Xiaohui was still studying and Xiaoli decided to let Meixiu study with her as well.
Xiaohui was always with Meixiu back in school and everyone knew that they are meant to be married as they have heard it from someone.
Jiayi is someone who has a crush on Xiaohui. Since Xiaohui is a known beauty around Jiangqiao, it's natural for her to attract men.
"Jiayi, it's been a while" Meixiu approaches him and offered her hand. Jiayi accepted it.
"What brings you here? You know you can't just walk in wearing that" Jiayi said, pointing at her clothes.
Meixiu nodded her head before breaking the handshake.
"I'm here to talk to Zhong Wenqian."
...
Jiayi suddenly laughs confusing Meixiu.
Did I say something wrong?
Jiayi's eyes became teary. He wipes his tears and his expression turns serious.
"The Vice-Chairman is unavailable today! She has a meeting with someone."
"Just tell her I am here."
"Why? Do you think you can meet her? I can't even meet her myself!" Jiayi's attitude turned upside down.
Meixiu still gives him a confused look.
He doesn't seem to know who's the owner of Sapphire Group.
Jiayi clicks his tongue. He approaches Meixiu and held his hand in front of her. Meixiu frown.
"I'm asking for your resume, you want to apply as a janitor right?"
Jiayi laughs loudly. The people inside the building can hear him, even Mao Boqin, who is talking to the receptionist.
Boqin got curious about why the marketing manager is outside so he decided to check it out.
"I'm not here to apply, I'm here to meet Wenqian."
Boqin furrows his eyebrows upon hearing a familiar voice. He felt like he have heard of it, where was it again?
Aha! From Ms. Zhong's office!
"Song Meixiu, you became bold! Just because Xiaohui got the contract! That doesn't mean you will become bossy!"
Song Meixiu? The Chairman!?
Boqin walks behind Jiayi and to his horror, it is the Chairman.
"Ms. Song!"
Jiayi smirked before looking at Boqin.
"Mr. Mao! This bastard wants to meet Ms. Zhong..." Jiayi's voice lowered upon realizing that Boqin knew Meixiu.
His eyebrows furrow before looking between Boqin and Meixiu.
Ms. Song?
Boqin glares at Jiayi before calling a guard. He smiles at Meixiu and respectfully walks beside her.
"Ms. Song, I heard what this bastard said. Do you want to punish him?"
Jiayi's face paled as he heard how respectful Boqin is towards Meixiu. He quickly kneels and clasps his hands together.
"Chairman! I'm sorry! I was wrong!" He frantically rubs his hands together. Boqin huffs a breath before approaching Jiayi and slaps him across the face.
"You are fired! You don't deserve to land a job here!" Meixiu held Boqin's hand, making the man look at her.
"Don't fire him, he's doing a great job, and he didn't know I am the Chairman."
"Yes, of course!"
"Mei - Ms. Song! Thank you so much! I will work harder!"
"Yeah, by cleaning the building" Meixiu looks at Boqin.
"Give him the cleaning materials, he's gonna start today" Jiayi's whole world shattered.
He was about to pass a resume to become the Chief Marketing Officer but then this happened!
He didn't know the Chairman! Nor would he thinks it'll be Meixiu. Jiayi just looks at Meixiu scared.
He felt like Meixiu is a different person. A not that useless and quiet classmate of his. The one eating Xiaohui's leftover lunch!
Song Meixiu is a powerful person!
"Ms. Song! Please! Don't move me around!"
"Yes, I'll do it now, Chairman" Boqin bows down before approaching Jiayi and holding his hands.
"Be thankful the Chairman didn't fire you, let's go!"
After saying that, he looks at his back and smiles widely at Meixiu.
"Would you like me to call Ms. Zhong?"
"Ah, no. Jiayi told me she's busy so I'll visit next time" Meixiu said.
Boqin nodded and bow again before completely disappearing from Meixiu's sight.
"Guess I'll go back in the house."
Meixiu hops in her scooter and drives away.
-
"Meixiu, tomorrow come with me and help me with my things..."
Meixiu just nodded her head with her eyes trailing to Xiaohui's legs. She quickly shakes her head and looks up to meet Xiaohui.
"Are you listening?"
Meixiu nodded her head. Xiaohui crosses her arms making Meixiu make eyes contact with Xiaohui's chest but she quickly shakes it off.
"Then, what did I say?"
"Uh, make you com-"
Meixiu didn't finish speaking when Xiaohui quickly throw her a pillow. The tall girl looks at her wife to see her with a red face.
"Just because you hugged me doesn't mean we can do it!"
Xiaohui's face turn redder making Meixiu smile and nodded her head.
"Of course! I know how important your first time is so no worries!" Meixiu smiles charmingly.
Xiaohui just scoffs before hopping in the bed, wrapping herself in the blanket.
Meixiu just sighs and places the sleeping bag on the floor. She's humming to a song as she's doing it.
"Meixiu."
"Yeah?"
"How long have you been in the orphanage?"
Meixiu looks at Xiaohui in confusion. Xiaohui wants to know more about her? That's new! With Xiaohui's question, Meixiu smiled widely.
"I was in the orphanage back when I was 8, why do you ask?"
Song Changpu wants Meixiu to be happy so he decided to give her to the orphanage so her to learn new things and be away from his enemy.
When Xiaohui and Meixiu were both classmates for a year, Xiaohui didn't have the time to know more about Meixiu.
All she knows is that she's going to sacrifice her happiness for her father's request.
Xiaohui never talked to Meixiu, they are both civil with each other but now, they are making progress.
"Nothing, I'm just curious."
"Is that all you want to ask? Something seems to be bugging you" Meixiu laid down on the sleeping bag.
Xiaohui opens her mouth and then closes it before shaking her head.
"Nothing, just go to sleep."
"Alright, good night."
Xiaohui sighed before she thinks back at what she saw earlier.
Is that really Meixiu? But, why is Mr. Mao so respectful to her?
