First Day

"Rong" he calls his manager to come inside.

"Yes sir" the manager replies.

"Ask them to keep searching for her. Call the top hackers to crack the code of her security." He orders him. The manager nods obeying his orders.

"You may leave now" he gestures to him to leave while he signs some documents. "Wait, have you searched in Asia?" he asks his manager who has just reached the door to open.

"No sir but I have ordered them before coming to you" he replies politely bowing.

"Good" he sighs. Fu Zi Chen has been constantly working for 3 days in a row and he hasn't slept a bit.

"Sir, you need to rest. Your health may destabilize again" Wang Rong, his manager tells him as he is worried about his boss.

"It's fine. we need to finish the business here first" he says dismissively. Wang Rong wants to protest but he knows he won't listen to him. His boss prioritizes work before health and its o the first time he is overworking; every time he told him not to overwork, Fu Zi Chen refused it every time. No one dares to bargain or order him.

"As you say, sir. I will be taking my leave then" Wang Rong excuses himself. Zi Chen nods and his manager exits from the door.

Shanghai, China

7:15 am

"Miss…Young Miss!" a voice echoed from outside the door of Shi Lian's room. Shi Lian is still sleeping without hearing anything. She hates waking up in the morning. In America too her best friend had to wake her up every day so that she could attend the classes.

"Young Miss! Open the door, young miss!" Nanny Zhang yells outside the door but Shi Lian is still not hearing. Her father has ordered Nanny Zhang to wake her up because she needs to get ready for today. Her father knows that she won't be waking up unless someone yells in her ear. When she lived here before going to America, her mother or Nanny Zhang used to wake her up every day.

"Miss, your father ordered me to wake you up! Wake up, Miss!" Nanny Zhang says loudly so that she could hear her.

"Mhmm…..who is it?" Shi Lian groans snuggling inside the blanket. It's a habit of Shi Lian to lose the door before going to sleep; she had this habit from America as she used to live in the dormitory.

"Young Miss! Young Miss!" the nanny yells again banging the door. At last, Shi Lian wakes up and walks towards the door to open groaning in irritation.

"Thank God you opened it, young miss!" Nanny Zhang cries completing her task.

"It's still early, nanny Zhang. What's the fuss?" Shi Lian yawns in between her sentences.

"Master has ordered me to wake you up" nanny Zhang gives her a warm smile of hers.

"Why?... Oh!" she then remembers about the company and all that had happened yesterday. "Is everyone up?" she asks traveling inside the bathroom to freshen up.

"Yes, Miss" Zhang answers. Shi Lian brushes her teeth, takes shower, and does her toiletry while Nanny Zhang neatly folds the sheets and cleans the room as her duty.

After a while, Shi Lian walks outside the bathroom and goes straight to the big closet to the left of the bathroom. 'What should I wear today?' Shi Lian thinks as she watches thousands of thousands of clothes surround her.

"Maybe something sophisticated and elegant?" she thinks aloud. In the front lines two-four sets of clothing; a black modern feminine suit, a navy blue jumpsuit with a touch of sophistication, a cream color dress that gives a refreshing and modern look, or a black knee-length dress. Out of four, she chooses two: the black suit and the blue jumpsuit. Now she is even more confused than before; she wants her first day at the company to be perfect.

As the Mo company is known for their clothing and fashion, her outfit had to be one point, or else she will lose face in front of everyone.

"Breath Shi Lian, breath" she tries to calm herself by breathing in and out. "Let's go with you then" Shi Lian picks the blue jumpsuit after doing much thoughtful thinking. With the right accessory and the outfit, she is all set to make her move today.

"Wow Miss, you look beautiful" Nanny Zhang compliments her as she comes out of the big closet. Shi Lian gives her a bright smile and heads towards the dressing table. She thinks to give a little curling to her hair at the ends. She then applies her makeup, wears those diamond earrings and a pendant she is ready now. Checking at herself for one last time she got up, takes her purse, and head downstairs.

"Morning mother, Morning father" Shi Lian greets her parents cheerfully but not as cheerful as she used to. Her parents greet her too. Shi Lian takes her seat to eat breakfast and the servants serve her the dishes.

"You look dazzling sweetie" Mo Sha Sha compliments her, caressing her hair.

"Thank you mother" she acknowledges and digs in as she is very hungry.

"She is our daughter, she has to," her father says humorously. The three have their breakfast harmoniously.

"You ready to go Shi?" Mo Zheng Yuan asks her as he straightens his tie.

"Yes, father" Shi Lian nods with confidence. She has been mentally preparing herself that it will be okay but deep down she is anxious.

"Let's get going then" her father smiles impressed by her confidence. They both walk towards the front door for their departure. Mo Sha Sha and Nanny Zhang walk with them too.

"Good Morning Sir!" Zhang Hao, Mo Zheng Yuan's right-hand man greets him. He is shocked to see Shi Lian with them; the last time he saw her was 5 years ago when she was leaving for America.

"Shi….Shi Lian! You came!" Zhang Hao is both thrilled and shocked to see her in front of him.

"Good Morning Uncle Hao" Shi Lian greets him politely with a warm smile on her face.

"Ah! Good Morning Young Miss!" he forgot to greet everyone as he was shocked by her arrival.

"Good Morning Ma'am" he greets her mother too as a habit of his. Zhang Hao is in his mid-thirties and he is serving his boss for over 10 years. He is always loyal to him and does his work with utmost determination.

"Shi, come" her father reaches out a hand for her and she happily takes it.

"Sir, is Young Miss going to the company?" Zhang Hao asks opening the car door for them. Mo Zheng Yuan nods and sits on the back of the car. Zhang Hao is completely shocked now; he knows how Shi Lian despises the company's authority, she told him once that she will never take hold of the Mo group but everything is changed now. Shi Lian has changed so much during the past years and so does everything. Shi Lian sits beside her father and Zhang Hao closes the door for them. He then goes in the front seat with the driver and they take off from there.

"Will everything be alright? Will my Shi be able to handle it?" Mo Sha Sha worries when the car exits from the gate.

"It will be an alright master. Our Shi is mature and I know she will do great!" Zhang Nanny cheers her by being optimistic about the situation but she is too worried about the little girl who is going to enter an arena where she will be targeted constantly.

"Let's get inside or you will get cold," she tells Mo Sha Sha. she nods and head inside.

'Wow…this is huge!' Shi Lian thought when they arrive at the company. The building is way too tall and all she could see is glass. There are big windows with glasses and then glasses; it is like Elsa's castle.

"Come to Shi," her father asks her climbing down from the car, opened by Zhang Hao. Shi Lian obeys it and hops outside the lavish car still gazing over the sculpture in front of her.

"Let's get inside then" Mo Zheng Yuan orders walking to his company. Shi Lian and Zhang Hao walk behind them.

"Good Morning Mr. Chairman" the receptionist greets Mo Zheng Yuan. When she looked up after bowing she sees Shi Lian and wonders who is she and what is she doing here? Shi Lian notices the receptionist staring at her but she ignored that.

"From now on you are going to greet her as well. She is your chairman of Mo group" Mo Zheng Yuan declares, gesturing towards Shi Lian. Both Shi Lian and Zhang Hao gasp after hearing such an announcement.

"What?" Shi Lian asks in horror. She had no idea about this; she thought that she is just going to help her father for the time being and then she will fly back to America and pursue her life.

"Chairman, are you sure?" Zhang Zhao still cannot believe what he just said.

"Of course I am," Zheng Yuan says in a serious tone. Now Zhang Hao is in more shock; saying something this shocking would have given him a heart attack.

"Do you understand?" Zheng Yuan asks the receptionist who is as shocked as them.

"Yes…Yes, sir" she nods frantically. "Good Morning Miss future Chairman," she says politely but it is awkward to hear that.

"Just call me Shi Lian," Shi Lian says abruptly. At least this would sound good than hearing 'Miss future Chairman'.

Her father asks, "What's the problem with that?"

"Father, it sounds uncanny hearing it so she should call me Shi Lian."

"It sounds great to me and they should get a habit of calling you as the chairman" her father argues.

"We don't need to make changes in haste right? And I don't like the sound of it so just leave it aside for now" she protests.

"But-"

"Father, please. We should get going by now" she cuts him midsentence before he can argue more.

Mo Zheng Yuan sighs "Alright" while they were arguing about the name, Zhang Hao and the receptionist was watching it with amusement. They thought that the chairman is going to lose patience soon but he did not and that was surprising to see him sigh because now these days he gets frustrated easily and his health is not in a good state too.

"Let's head inside" Zheng Yuan asserts and walks ahead. Shi Lian gives Zhang Hao a tight smile and they both walk behind him.
