Chapter 1

["Haha, you can't catch me. Ms.Zhao, I'm sorry I took your money. I apologise that I didn't let you know.. I was going to scam you. Tsk! I thought billionaire people have more tactical skills to find who is a scammer or who is not. Ms.Zhao, again I apologise that I'll block you now. Please, don't ever try to find me. You won't be able to touch my hair. Bye bye. Muaaah."]

This is what the most brilliant and beautiful girl in the business industry saw on her mobile screen before she threw out the iPhone on the table with a thud. Her bubbly cheeks turned red and her almond shaped blue eyes stared at the assistant with anger as if her stare would tear apart the man in a second.

"M-mam." The assistant hesitated. He gulped a mouthful of saliva. His head low, eyes looking on the ground.

"Tell me, do I look like a fool?" Ms.Zhao stands up and walks towards the man with a blue file.

The man takes steps back slowly but don't dare move. He itches his ear in nervousness, his face turning pale as dead.

"Ma-mam, why would you be a fool? You are the most talented person in the world ... .no, no, the most talented person in the universe." The man named Li Xiao loves to exaggerate things, his sentence's that were over acting to make Zhao Jiamei more angry.

She threw the file towards Li Xiao, he shivers, her gaze intense that will scare even her dad.

"Get out of my sight. Don't exaggerate things. Because of you, I lost one million yuan (Chinese currency), do you find it funny?"

'What did I do that made her lose one million yuan? I can't recall it.' Li Xiao thought in his mind, he didn't dare ask this to her. However, he knew, one million yuan was nothing more than a piece of cake to Zhao Jiamei, why is she acting like she has lost the whole company?

"Mam, I got it." Li Xiao nodded and started to walk towards the exit. He clicked opened the door,

"Stop…Listen, give me every detail of Chen Jianyu who he is, what's his passion, father's, mother's, relatives, distant relatives, ex-girlfriend, even the biography of his childhood friend. I need every single detail about him. Understand?" Jiamei said, her hands crossed over her chest, her tone authoritative and domineering.

No wonder, everyone is afraid of her. Even though she looks like a kind, compassionate, easy going beauty but that's not her inner self.

"Yes, mam." Li Xiao nodded and left the place. Jiamei walks back and forth, her heart shaped face tensed, if it's not for her over trusting a stranger, how could she lose one million?

Yesterday, she meet a guy namedChen Jianyu , who introduced himself as a cyber security officer, Jiamei's account got an email from a scammer,

[Congratulations, you have won the lottery of $1000, click here (#&@#57743488@#&) to redeem the lottery before twelve hours.]

Jiamei was sure this was a scam, but her email was private and secured. How can she get an email like this? She immediately called the cyber security team and a man received her call. The man then took her email and gave her a form to fill. However , she doesn't know, cyber security team doesn't need a form to fill, A form? It won't hack her computer or mobile. Is it? Self awareness was too slow, Jiamei decided to fill the form. After filling it, fortunately, nothing happened. Jiamei thought everything was okay, until today she got the message from Chen Jianyu.

She found out that the cyber security team she called was a scam and her bank account was also hacked by him. But the hacker took only one million. The account had five million yuan. She couldn't point it out, whether the scammer is good or bad? He even let her know before blocking her. Is he playing with her?

She sat down on the sofa, her Gucci branded tops sparkling like a pearl on her slim, hourglass figure. Beside her, a small orchid plant was giving off its honey smell. She sighed a breath of heaviness. Suddenly, her phone on the desk table rang. Her eyes bored, she knew who could call her at this time. She stood up lazily and walked lazily. She took the mobile on her hand,

*iPhone screen*

['Dad' is calling]

She picked up the call, "Dad," Jiamei's voice was so bored and lazy.

"Jia' , you should…." Jiamei interrupted, "Dad, if you want me to get marry , I won't.

So you hear, I ..WON'T ...GET ....MARRIED...." She uttered every words separately and loudly.

However, Zhao ZhouShi was not a kid with a nut brain, he uttered, "You should hear your dad first, I'm talking about, you lost one million yuan, how are you going to pay me?" His voice was heavy.

"Pay you what?" Confused by her father's questions, Jiamei bit her lip.

"Return me back my money that you took to invest in your business. I don't want to invest in your company again. You know what I mean. Don't you?" ZhouShi's voice carries a tone that Jiamei can understand, either she gets married or every investment will be withdrawn and her business will go bankrupt.

"Dad, do you have to go this far just to marry me off?"

"Huuuh! What if I ask? Do you have to wait until you become an old woman with wrinkles to get married? I'm just warning you, you lost one million this time, maybe, next time you will lose the company. Think about it."

"Mr. Xiao is not a bad person, you will be happy marrying him. I'll fix a date. Okay?"

Now, the beautiful lady's heart started to ache, she has worked so hard to found her own business. She can't lose her company. Overwhelmed by her father's statement she couldn't find any words except this sentence.

"Dad, I have a boyfriend."

"Haa?"

She lied because, if she doesn't, her father will arrange blind dates with top billionaires and actors in the country. She doesn't want to get married to a billionaire or actor with lots of female fans. She had a luxurious life and lots of admirer, she's used to it. However, her father is hard to get along with.

"Now I understand why you have been refusing to get married. Who is he? Is he a person with a good reputation in the industry?"

All he cares about is reputation, Jiamei rolls her eyes though her father can't see it.

"No, he's an ordinary person who works in….a cafe."

After that, Zhao Jiamei had to hear a lot of organic advice from his father, she is a billionaire, how can she fall in love with a lower class cafe boy? What will the industry think about the Zhao family? However, Zhao Jiamei didn't bother to answer her father's advice; instead, she told another lie about being married to that imaginary boyfriend of hers. Her father was speechless and kind of suspicious about his daughter's statement. Hence, he argued with her to introduce the imaginary boyfriend to him.

His face expression was a knowing smile, he knew his daughter was making a lie, she won't be able to find any person to pretend to be her husband,Can she? Even if she does, it's a good thing that at least Zhao ZhouShi will become a grandpa in no time. This man Zhao ZhouShi was a handsome man in his early thirties, still, his bright eyes and face that didn't look like an old man's, attracted some divorced ladies. But this man's life is in doctors hands, suffering from cancer, he has limited time to survive. Some folks dream of seeing their child's getting married or having grandchildren, Zhao ZhouShi was one of them.

Jiamei loves her father so much that she can't stress him about getting married anymore. Although she doesn't know about her father's condition.

In evening, 17:19, Monday, 2020

*Knock knock*

"Come in." Jiamei answered.

Li Xiao came inside with a bag full of files, he was grabbing the files bag on the floor with all his might. Jiamei lifted up her head, stands up. With a confused and stressed expression on her peach-like face, she asked, her voice a bit stern, "What's it is?"

Li Xiao let go of the bag to face Jiamei but as soon as he did, the bag fell on the ground with a thud, and the files inside it came out and spread on the floor. Li Xiao was nervous and he gulped a gallon of his saliva. His heart beating like a running horse.

"Can't you do a job carefully? Look at you, how careless you are."

Jiamei squats down beside the bag, she takes a file in her hand and opens it, the word she read was,Chen Jianyu , that made her always annoyed face turn into a coconut milk. She stood up, and went towards her chair. However, she didn't say anything to Li Xiao, he collected all the files and put them into the bag again. Zhao Jiamei was reading Chen Jianyu's biography later by letter. Li Xiao didn't understand what he was supposed to do, he stood there, his head down.

"M-M-mam,"

Jiamei finally noticed that it's been ten minutes since she was reading only one file, Li Xiao was standing there for ten minutes. Isn't that the cruel type of punishment in school we used to have?

"Why are you still here? Don't you have any work to do?"
