49 Why to become one, when I can create hundreds?

When Liu Si Si saw Cheng Juan coming their way grumpily, she murmured under her breath to say, "Look at her. She is rushing to us as if she would throw us out with just one kick. Let me see her face by the end of the day."

"Si Si, even though I am here with you. Don't forget to keep your calm. You better not stir another trouble when we are here to settle one." Knowing Liu Si Si well, Yun Meiyi gave her the heads up.

Pouting, Liu Si Si nodded, "Don't worry, I won't get indecent. But promise me that you will do both our jobs. If they said anything to us, you would return the ten folds of their words." She said and Yun Meiyi turned to look at her, pressing her lips together in a thin line.

"Yi Yi, don't look at me like that. I know you have the skill better than anyone else." She added, blinking her eyes admiringly at her, and Yun Meiyi could no longer say more.

"We will see that later. For now, just keep your words in check. Will you?" She said and Liu Si Si nodded, before looking back at Cheng Juan who had reached them by now.

Smiling, she greeted first, "Sister Cheng, even though we have just met in the morning, at that time I was half asleep. So I would ask you again. How are you? I hope you are as fine as me."

"Si Si, what do you think you are doing?" Cheng Juan exasperated in a low voice.

Liu Si Si gave a small, humble smile and said, "Me? I am simply greeting you out of my good manners. Did you not recognize my gesture? I mean even though I can understand Ping Ruo doesn't show proper manners around you, there are still others who follow the code of manners. And as for what I am doing here, didn't you earlier give me the call saying that Vice President Wen wants to meet me?"

"Si Si, don't be too outspoken. You clearly know what I am talking about." She then darted her gaze to look at Yun Meiyi as she sneered, "Do you think anyone could come here on their own will. This is Feathering Heights, not some garden where anyone could take a stroll."

Liu Si Si's jaws got clenched. She could still control if anyone would talk about her, but how should she take the words against Yun Meiyi that easily. If she doesn't retaliate, how could she be ca[pabel to call her as her best friend? Thinking it that way, she was ready to boom, but right at that moment, Yun Meiyi held her back.

Holding her hands, she shook her head, asking Liu Si Si to restrain her words. Then turning to Cheng Juan herself, Yun Meiyi said, "Manager Cheng, we are here to meet the Vice President. I hope without wasting much time you would lead us the way."

Chen Juan gritted her teeth. She wanted either of them to burst out so that later she could complain about their attitude, but the woman was too known about her surroundings. Neither she got agitated, nor did she allow Liu Si Si to burst out.

In the end, she had no other choice but to lead them the way, grumbling under her breath. "Thinking you to be here as the guardian of Liu Si Si, I am allowing you in, you better know your place here." She said and behind her Liu Si Si just huffed at her attitude while Yun Meiyi stayed silent.

Soon they entered the luxurious meeting hall of the company and turning arrogantly, Cheng Juan added, "You two can sit here and wait, Vice President Wen would be here soon."

Yun Meiyi nodded plainly before taking a seat on one side and gesturing to Liu Si Si to take the same. Cheng Juan also walked to the other side and pulled a chair to sit before sending a small message to someone. Then she turned to glare in their direction opinionatedly.

After not too long, just when Yun Meiyi pulled her watch up to check the time, she heard approaching steps coming their way. The wait got over, she knew it. Turning in the direction of the door, she saw it getting pushed open before seeing a man in his late thirties entering. He wasn't alone, behind him there was a pretty woman all dolled up exquisitely.

She needed not to ask who the woman was. She has heard about her enough from Si Si to know that she was no other than Wang Ping Ruo. Yun Meiyi didn't look her way for long. Giving a fleeting glance, she turned to look at the man first.

Wen Jiang's gaze halted on the woman as well. But when he heard someone coughing, he quickly composed himself back before taking the seat at the head of the table.

Cheng Juan was the first to stand up to introduce. Her voice came all polite, unlike the one she had used earlier with Yun Meiyi. "Vice President Wen, thank you for taking out the time to make it here. This is Liu Si Si about whom I have talked to you before and this is her friend, Ms. Yun. She has come here as the guardian of Liu Si Si."

She said and Wen Jiang nodded looking at Yun Meiyi. "Ms. Yun, I can see you are quite pretty. Do you have any plans in coming to our industry? If yes, believe me, Feathering Heights would like to sign you under." He said, and on the side, Cheng Juan and Wang Ping Ruo were all shell-shocked. While Liu Si Si couldn't help but give a flutter of chuckle that felt quite insultive to Wen Jiang.

He frowned at her defiant attitude. "Liu Si Si, I have been hearing a lot about you these days. Will you tell me what made you laugh now?"

Liu Si Si held back her laughter and composed herself back before turning to look at the man to say, "Vice President Wen, I don't know what you have heard about me. But right now, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to laugh at you, it's just that your offer reminded me of a memory when I asked her the same question. Her response to it was something that I can never forget."

"What did she say?" Wen Jiang asked, looking at the woman who not for once turned to look at him.

Liu Si Si's grin deepened as looking at Meiyi, she replied, "She said why to become one when I can create hundreds?"

Her words stunned others and Wen Jiang was about to ask her to clarify it when suddenly the door of the meeting room was pushed open. And there appeared someone whose presence left everyone else in the room dumbfounded.

Wen Jiang was the first to realize his surroundings. Standing up, he didn't delay to greet the person first. His voice was that of utmost politeness, "President Li, good afternoon!"

When others heard him, they stood as well but Yun Meiyi remained seated, without showing any concern. Her attitude didn't hint any arrogance but the authority that could simply be not surpassed by others.
