Black Cosmetics.
"Mrs Zhou, all the shareholders are here and demand an explanation... Mrs... Mrs Song... she... she's here. " the assistant said and she threw off all the stuff on her desk.
"Should we postpone the meeting? " the assistant asked her again and she glared at her.
"Are you mad? Are you out of your mind or what? She's here already, HOW DO YOU PLAN ON POSTPONING THE MEETING?!?! Come on!" she yelled at her as they left for the meeting room where all the shareholders were already waiting for her and at the far end opposite of the CEO's seat was Song Mimi patiently waiting for her with her hand crossed against her chest and her leg over the other.
"Sheng'er, I believe you have a better explanation for what's going on? " Song Mimi asked her as she watched her sit down.
"Mrs Song, the manager in charge of production has already been... "
"Zhou Sheng, I didn't ask what you did to the production manager, fine he deserves more than death... but how do you explain this yourself? I give you only one chance to explain yourself. " she said to her. The room was dead silent before Zhou Sheng got up to talk.
"To be honest, I'm truly sorry that this happened. I have no excuse for myself this time Mrs Song, you have the most shares in the company, I'm... I'm willing to step down from my position as CEO." she said to her and her assistant looked at her shocked.
"Mrs Zhou, please think this through first... "
"I've thought about it! And I'm sure this is for the best. " Zhou Sheng cut her assistant short.
"Zhou Sheng, are you sure about your decision? " Song Mimi asked her looking right at her.
"Y... yes. I think I need to improve on my way of judgement. Not only that but also a lot more. " she said in front of everyone.
"It's good that you realise your faults. I will be taking over as the acting CEO of Black Cosmetics. Zhou Sheng, you'll work with me starting from tomorrow, when you're ready, I'll hand over your company back to you. " she said as she got up leaving everyone in shock. Then she stopped by Zhou Sheng as she took in a deep breath and turned to her.
"Come on, let get some coffee. " she said with a dangerous smile as she left the room and everyone turned to Zhou Sheng with a pitiful and worried look on their faces.
"Mrs Zhou, do you want me to call the cops? " her assistant asked her.
"Shut up, I'm going alone. No need to come with me. " she said as she went after Song Mimi in a hurry.

"Why didn't you take over the company? You know what everyone will be thinking now right? " she asked her and Song Mimi just blew on her coffee as she took a sip.
"Who cares what they're saying? Black Cosmetics is something that you came up with on your own. Your taste in perfume is very extraordinary for a young woman like you. You still have a long way to go but you're in no position to be arrogant yet. And that's why I'm willing to keep you by my side and teach you personally. Your makeup and body creams are exceptionally on point. Are you willing to learn? " she asked her.
"So you actually don't want Black Cosmetics?" Zhou Sheng asked her.
"What...? You're already giving up? You think you can't fight for what rightfully yours? " she asked her calling for the waitress.
"That's not it at all. I do want my company back. " she answered her quickly.
"Great then, we will talk tomorrow. Be sure to be there. " she said to her before she left when she was done paying the bills.

Feng Nanxin's apartment.
"Feng Nanxin, what's your actual deal with Xiao Juhan? You've been abnormally paying attention to him for a while now. That's not like you. " Zheng Bo said to his best friend.
"Is it wrong? Don't you also like Xiao Juhan? Why do you like him soo much?" he asked him and a smile formed on his face right away.
"That's because most of his songs are based on a woman he's loved since high school. 'A guy like him, was actually the thug and she was the poor and serious student he planned on bullying. But one glance at her and he had already fallen for her.' That's the lyrics of one of my favourite songs. Pretty touching isn't it?" Zheng Bo asked him but Feng Nanxin didn't respond.
"So then I'm guessing this childhood friend of his is the woman I currently want to tame. He just had to make the wrong turn about his decision in love." Feng Nanxin said to him.
"You mean Song Mimi? The childhood friend Xiao Juhan has been in love with since childhood... is Song Mimi? " Zheng Bo asked him shocked as he thought about it.
"You... you actually like the woman in black? " he asked him looking at Feng Nanxin.
"Yeah so what? " he asked him clueless.
"Why did it have to be her? Sure she's beautiful, she's extremely beautiful and women like her literally spell poison. And besides, she's your client. Not to mention you being a lawyer who doesn't abide with the law, you should have the name lawless lawyer. " Zheng Bo said to him and Feng Nanxin shot him a cold glare making him silent.
"New year is approaching very soon, you should leave as soon as possible so I can be done with your yapping for a while. " Feng Nanxin said to him.
"Alright then, I heard Mrs Song has another childhood friend coming to work with her. His name is Huo Tianyao I think. He even bought her the black diamond at the exhibition today... "
"Get out! " Feng Nanxin said and Zheng Bo left his office right away and he shifted his attention back to the picture on his screen.
"Xiao Juhan...? Childhood friend...? Hmph, childhood friend my ass. " he said to himself before removing the picture from his screen.
