Bai Yulin was at home, watching television in order to relax. She was also going through some papers where Ji Haishan provided her regarding tomorrow's meeting at Ji Group.

Bai Yulin had a hard time to memorize some business-like terms but that didn't dictate her spirit to at least know what they meant.

'I hope no one bothers with me tomorrow and just let the meeting flow like water.' Bai Yulin chanted desperately.

She really couldn't handle it if those shareholders started asking questions.

Bai Yulin silently snacked on some potato chips as her eyes darted from the papers in her hands and the screen. She couldn't focus on both so she decided to turn off the television and go to the study to memorize more.

When Ji Haishan was working, he did it in his study so Bai Yulin thought she could pay attention more inside the study since the air around that room was practically screaming 'focus!'.

Though her acting skills were sub-par and not so good, Bai Yulin thought she needed to do her best for tomorrow since Ji Haishan was also doing his best at her job.

'This is the only way for me to repay him.' she said to herself.

Bai Yulin walked to the kitchen to get a refill of her coffee then she went into the study. Her mind was set on doing her best as she skipped her way through, humming a song.

Bai Yulin plopped onto the couch and put down the mug which contained her hot coffee. Her eyes were traveling over the papers which had some important names she had to remember. These people were the shareholders who would be attending the meeting tomorrow.

Bai Yulin turned to different pages and she raised her brows as she looked at the description details. She then talked out loud by herself in an attempt to remember better. She did this for a number of names until she stopped for a while.

Her eyes narrowed as something caught her attention "Director Lin.. first name Bao.. bald.. with a thick metal-rimmed eyeglasses. Personality: hard to please.. always making troubles for other shareholders. And.. he seems to be against Ji Haishan as the CEO?"

"Could it be that he's that prick Ji Ye Qiu's supporter?" Bai Yulin tsk -ed in annoyance. So that man really did have some influential lackeys, she thought.

'That explains why he was so conceited.' Bai Yulin pursed her lips, remembering how she was tied up in a storage room and was kicked off to the floor until her head bled.

Bai Yulin proceeded to read some other names whom were known as Ji Ye Qiu's lackeys (supporters). All through the list, she found that less than half of the shareholders in upper management of Ji Group were against Ji Haishan.

'It's good that it's not more than half but.. this number is not normal either.' Bai Yulin thought to herself.

She didn't know anything regarding a huge company or the business world. But when there were two frictions against each sides, it was obvious that an internal feud was bound to happen within the company.

Bai Yulin was surprised that even someone like Ji Haishan had to deal with such tricky situations when he was already the CEO. Some people never gave up.

As she was busying herself, Bai Yulin took notes for some people she had to be careful with. She remembered how she would be meeting with Ji Ke Mu, Ji Haishan's cousin.

Her initial thought was that that person would be hard to deal with since he was Ji Ye Qiu's son. Yet, when Bai Yulin recalled Ji Haishan's expression when talking with him on the phone, she realized that Ji Ke Mu might be a kind person, not the same like his father.

'Well.. let's wait and see for tomorrow.' she mused, taking a sip from her mug.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something crucial out of the blue. Bai Yulin snapped her head towards the clock on the wall and saw that it was at four sharp.

Li Rou and 'Bai Yulin' walked together to greet the crew and the production team. There were a lot of small built sets for other shoots for different sections in the magazine, not just them. But their set was the biggest since 'Bai Yulin' would be the cover girl for this month's edition.

There was also an interview about her so it was bound to be more than special. Since 'Bai Yulin' was a famous figure in the fashion industry, this month's edition might be sold out in a blink of an eye. And everyone was excited for it to happen.

"Ms. Bai, let's get you ready for a photoshoot. You're our face for this month's edition." one cameraman said as he instructed Ji Haishan to go and change first.

Two helpers from the dressing room came forward and ushered Ji Haishan to follow them. He greeted several people on the way and men, mostly the crew members were gaping at him like fish out of the sea.

Ji Haishan faked a smile and he forced himself not to visibly cringe. Getting stared at by women was a norm for him ever since he was young but now when it came from men and their lecherous eyes, he didn't know what to say. He was speechless beyond the world.

He now knew that being a woman put him at a disadvantage when he was gawked at so obviously. At least when he was a man, women's gaze wasn't all directed with such thickening desire.

'I must salute to Bai Yulin for being a woman when she obviously has a hard time getting used to this.' Ji Haishan shook his head lightly as he went into a dressing room reserved only for him.

After changing, he look himself in a mirror and was actually impressed for the dress chosen. He looked at his hourglass figure where he was wearing an open back solid halter dress. The dress was tight and it hugged his whole proportion to its right size. The color of the fabric was dark brown.

"Bai Yulin's figure is really something else.." he mumbled slowly.

No matter what, he would always be impressed by his girlfriend's beautiful body and face, somehow making him the proudest man on earth.
