New Beginning-1

The next morning, fresh sunlight filtered through the window and fell upon the young woman sleeping soundly on the bed. Gradually the darkness within the room was replaced with brightness; the woman's delicate and ravishing features were accentuated by the fresh sunlight making her look like a tempting angel.

Enticing yet pure...

Before Jing Lihua's opened her eyes, she mentally prepared herself to find herself in the same cramped and decrepit room she could only afford in the slums in her last life.

However, opening her eyes, the pink ceiling of her personal room in her apartment met her eyes.

"That was not a dream after all..." 

After a moment of delight, her green eyes darkened with sheer determination. "No, there is no time for me to sit and relish these basic luxuries. If I won't act now, all of this would be lost in just two years..."

"In my last life, I had wasted a long time before actually paying a visit to Tang enterprise complex. I won't commit that mistake again."

Getting up she took a quick bath. After the bath, her jittery mind felt refreshed. She carefully selected a lavish yet decent formal attire. 

"I must pay attention to each and every detail. After all, the naive Jing Lihua at this time didn't have a nice reputation. It would be hard to have the company employees actually accept me by heart."

After being satisfied with her appearance and aura, Jing Lihua walked out of her apartment and entered the elevator. At her private garage, looking up at her chauffeur, she frowned in confusion.

"You are..." Jing Lihua seized the man with her suspicious gaze. Thirty years of experience and backstabbing taught her to be skeptical of everything and everyone.

Feeling the distrust from Jing Lihua's side, the youthful man quickly explained. "Ms. Jing, I'm Wang Yi... Your new chauffeur. I am from the same agency as Zhang Zhehan. Yesterday, Zhang Zhehan met an accident on his way back home. Since he is unable to drive until he recovers, the company sent me as his replacement" Wang Yi even showed the company's ID card as a sign of evidence feeling the persistent suspicion.

He quietly observed the woman's reaction.

'Those people from autocratic families just don't trust anyone. Zhang Zhehan had been serving her for almost three years. She must be upset with me right now. Zhang Zhehan said she had an unpredictable temper. She might just refuse my service and throw a tantrum right now.'

Wang Yi was ready for anything.

However, what came from Jing Lihua's mouth wasn't what he could have expected.

Jing Lihua's eyes shifted downwards as she said. "How... How is Zhang Zhehan? Is he alright?"

Temporarily shocked, Wang Yi didn't answer for some time. When Jing Lihua looked up at him, he broke out of a stupor and replied at once. "He just got some fractures. Nothing fatal. He should be recovered within three months."

"Fine." Jing Lihua walked towards her car and climbed into. "But I want him back as soon as he recovers."

'Huh? Does that mean she is fine with me with the new setting?' Wang Yi couldn't understand that woman. However, he didn't need to. His job was to drive for her. He quickly walked towards the driver's seat and climbed into the car.

Pulling back the car out of the garage, he directed the car towards the Tang enterprise complex after Jing Lihua gave him the directions.

Inside the car, placing a hand under her chin, Jing Lihua silently wondered. 

'It's not like I trust this Wang Yi. Even if he is a mole, I have to arrive at my company one way or another. Once I establish my roots in the company, I will have someone check his origins.'

Thinking about Zhang Zhehan, she silently wondered why she had felt a sudden surge of sadness hearing he suffered an accident. Maybe, it was because he had lost his life in her last life for her sake...

That man, Zhang Zhehan, was a man of integrity.

He even tolerated her bad temper at that time.

'Forget it. Once I gain a little power, I will send someone to help him in case he needs any financial assistance. For now, there are far more important matters I have yet to think over'

Jing Lihua didn't waste further time to ponder over the matter. Su Liwei wouldn't make his move so soon. And there were a lot of things that required her urgent focus.

In thirty minutes they arrived. During the ride, Jing Lihua grabbed out her tablet and briefly went through the list of the profiles of major position holders in the Tang enterprise. President's personal secretary had emailed her the list prior night after Jing Lihua's requested.

'Most of them, I remember from my previous life.' Jing Lihua's eyes sharpened once her eyes fell on a certain list of names. 'And I clearly remembered those who sold Tang enterprise's sensitive intelligence to Su enterprise for important positions in their company.'

The car pulled into the private garage of the President. Wang Yi immediately got out, walked to Jing Lihua's side and opened the door for her.

'Alright, this is the time' Jing Lihua steeled her heart and stepped out of her car.
