20 Compensation (2)

"You don't have a remote or cloud backup for it?" She asked with a slight frown.

Feng Tianyi pursed his lips and shook his head, ashamed that he didn't consider having one since he always writes whenever and wherever he feels like to.

"I don't have any…" he admitted.

It was Tang Moyu's turn to get speechless as she looked at him as if he'd grown another head on his shoulder.

She cupped her chin to give it a thought, but none came up while Feng Tianyi scratched his head awkwardly.

"I'm truly sorry for this, Mr. Qin but I won't be at peace if I don't compensate you. Is there anything I can help you with? Perhaps a wish that I can grant you? I'm sure you have something you want or need." She questioned him.

'Then help me return the Feng Conglomerate to me,' he thought but he didn't voice out. Feng Tianyi then chided himself again.

He didn't doubt that if Tang Moyu wanted, she would be able to destroy the Feng Conglomerate, kicking out his half brother in the process. He wasn't paying close attention to the business circle within Shenzhen lately, but he was aware that the Tang Enterprise was in a dire situation.

Was this the reason why the fallen empress appeared again? It made sense to him, but this also meant a blatant threat to his brother, Feng Tianhua. Everyone within the company knew how valuable Tang Moyu's skills were during her reign as the empress of the business world.

"I'm not sure Miss Tang, but thank you for considering. Please give me some time to think about it." He knew that Tang Moyu wouldn't easily drop this issue, considering how prideful she was.

An hour later…

Tang Moyu arrived at her temporary office just in time to prepare for today's work. There would be a stockholders' meeting that afternoon and she needed to be prepared for their questions.

Cheng Ning gave her a rundown of her schedule today, which was packed with meetings and conferences. Just looking at it, Cheng Ning wondered how her boss was able to keep up with the fast paced work when it was really demanding and tiring at the same time.

"Alright, please prepare the documents I'd need for the shareholders' meeting. As for the rest, do you think you can reschedule those who can wait? I need to fetch the twins from Qin Jiran's place later." Tang Moyu rubbed her temple and sighed. It was a bad idea pulling an all nighter in Qin Jiran's place. Now, she would have to rely on coffee to keep herself awake.

Chen Ning froze in her spot and looked at her boss with bewilderment. Did she just hear it right? Did her boss just say Qin Jiran?

"Miss, did you just say Qin Jiran?" She leaned forward and clutched the tablet she was holding on her chest. Her eyes twinkled with delight as she looked at Tang Moyu. "You mean, THE Qin Jiran?"

Who could blame her? Qin Jiran was one of the most popular authors these days. His books were always sold out and Chen Ning even had to make a pre-order before she could get the books in her hands if she wanted them. Also, no one had ever seen his face before and his identity remained a mystery to his readers.

And for her boss to know Qin Jiran personally? How couldn't she be excited about the prospect of meeting her idol?!

Tang Moyu raised her head and saw her assistant's expression. She could already guess what was running on Cheng Ning's mind.

"Yes, the Qin Jiran you know. The one and only."

Cheng Ning squealed in glee and fanned herself. She tried to calm herself down as Tang Moyu raised a questioning brow at her.

Was she really this lucky? She had not only become her idol Tang Moyu's personal assistant, now there's a possibility of a chance to meet her favorite author?

"Miss Moyu, do you think you can ask Qin Jiran to sign my copy of his book? I wanted to meet him but I don't want to be presumptuous to ask you to bring me with you so…" She bit her lower lip and looked abashed.

"Hey, hey, hey, what is this that I'm hearing? You're meeting Qin Jiran, Moyu?!" Li Meiling came inside Tang Moyu's office and looked at both women.

"Miss Li," Cheng Ning looked at her smile and greeted her.

The woman who just arrived was the Third Miss of the Li family. Even though she wasn't as popular as Tang Moyu, her natural beauty wasn't lacking at all. She was a fashion designer by profession. She took a liking to Tang Moyu when the latter punched the faces of her older brother and his gang when they tried to bully her during their first meeting.

"Not one month and you are already dating? Qin Jiran of all people?!" Li Meili clutched her chest dramatically making Tang Moyu groan in response. Since when did she say she was dating Qin Jiran?

"Don't get ideas, Meili. He's the 'kind uncle' my twins have taken a liking to, and now I'm in debt for causing troubles." Tang Moyu said icily. She didn't know why her friend assumed she had something with that reclusive author when in fact she didn't want to have anything to do with him.
