6 Good ol' high school (2)

Sitting at her desk, completely at a loss and filled with anger, Ziyan clenched her fists into tight balls.

Shortly after the exit of the Madam Wu, Wu Huaxi appeared at the door in a her full glory.

"Tsk tsk tsk. No matter how many times I see it, still an appallingly small room. How did you survive these past ten years Ziyan?" She sarcastically questioned.

"Why are you here Huaxi? Here to gloat over your mother's decision?" Ziyan replied with some spite.

"That's young miss Wu to you maid! Disrespect means you could potentially get fired. Oh wait, you aren't employed, you're working for free."

"Young-"

"Stop, I haven't finished speaking yet, but I come just to gloat. I don't have this much time." As she said this, Wu Huaxi threw over a white bag and a piece of paper.

"Get this bag cleaned and complete the task on this list by tonight, no later. I need everything perfect for Young Master Li's birthday tomorrow." At the mention of Young Master Li, Wu Huaxi turned starry-eyed.

[Young Master Li? Oh right, the grandson to the founder of the Li corporation. I remember hearing he was quite handsome and talented in software design especially.]

"He's only 22 this year and already half-way through his PhD in Computer Engineering. Ahh, not to mention his godly appearance. Only someone like me is fit to stand next to him; beautiful, smart, and similar family circumstances."

[You forgot to mention arrogant, petty and calculative.]

Tilting her chin up, Wu Huaxi's tone dropped as she readdressed Ziyan. "Completely different from someone like you. Though I know you aren't interested in him, because you haven't even seen him and he is out of your league."

With a way of her arms, Wu Huaxi began to walk away before stopping again.

"What are you dazing for? You don't have all day Ziyan. Hurry up and go clean!"

Hearing those commanding words, Ziyan pacified her inner anger and gave a big smile. "Yes young miss. This one shall go complete this list as soon as possible."

Watching her jog off, Wu Huaxi smirked. "A lower class person will forever be lower class. Just look at that anger she showed earlier, but that all had to be swallowed when survivability is at stake. She can only smile and obey."

Turning her head, she looked back into the tiny room. "A bed, desk and closet is already a tight squeeze." Then she noticed a silver item peeking out from the corner of the bed.

Shuffling through the congested space, Wu Huaxi pulled the silver item out.

"Huh? A computer? Where did that servant get the money from? Let's see what's inside....."

As she browsed through the various files, Wu Huaxi became more and more bored.

"So boring. It's just filled with schoolwork and random music files. Dean, Daniel Ceasar......what horrible taste. Hmm? Seventeen, EXO, 9%, at least she has decent taste here."

Engrossed by the diverse music collection, Wu Huaxi felt a renewed sense of curiosity and began to re-browse the various files.

"Hmmmm, what's this file? Phalanx?" Clicking on the file, Wu Huaxi was greeted with a pop up asking for a password.

"What kind of file need a password?" Intrigued, she began to type in random combinations in hopes of unlocking it. All which failed.

Suspicion and her woman's intuition began to indicate that this file may contain something more than meets the eye. At this thought, Wu Huaxi told herself not to rush. There would be plenty of time to investigate the contents of this mysterious file.

Carefully sliding the laptop back, Wu Huaxi exited the room.
