Encountered

Chen Waan sniggered inside her head. This man really did not recognize her? That was fine, she would like to see how this man would react when he would find out that she was daughter of very famous, now deceased, actress and his former flame, Tan Anong.

Well, no one actually knew that because Tan Anong gave birth in secrecy and then was sent to raise to her best friend's place. Then her foster parents also died but left her enough clues to know who she was.

"Let me go through the contract. I will be in touch," she made the decision on the spot and took the documents with her. As a person who was personally contacted by Wang Zenghao, she could not be more confident. She walked out of the office very proudly.

As she was walking out, Mr. Fan joined her. He was to take her to the hotel where she was being put up. As she reached the door, she saw Mo Yifan entering the building. If given a chance, she really wanted to hide. But it was too late.

"You!" he yelled loudly.

Chen Waan bit her lip in frustration. Why did this guy have to recognize her? It was too dark that night but he still did identify her in the end.

"What are you doing here?" he yelled once again, drawing attention from every manager, staff and artist.

"Shhh!" she put her hand over his mouth and dragged him along to a corner. Everyone was curious about this weird girl who could behave with the king of pop, Mo Yifan, so intimately. All the eyes on the floor followed them until the party of four reached the staircase, including Wang Zibo and Mr. Fan,

"Are you crazy?" Mo Yifan screamed at her once again, slapping her hand away from his face. If he had qualms about her before, he was absolutely disgusted at this moment.

"Are 'you' crazy? Do you want to tell everyone that you indeed had been to my country that night and that you know me?" she whispered with her teeth clenched. That was reception area, who knew what paparazzi was there?

"It does not matter. We have an outer office for guests. This building is completely secure and every employee has signed a confidentiality agreement. Nothing will go out of here. More importantly, what are you doing here?" he asked her in a very frosty voice.

"Is this the attitude you give to someone who helped you out? I guess the good boy image you have in the world is also an act?" Chen Waan was shocked with the tone he used just now. There was no hello, no sorry, no thank you. But the accusing tone of his was quite hurtful. It was better that he had left without saying anything then. Otherwise, she herself would have revealed that he really was Mo Yifan.

"Oh? Are you talking about the help which brought you all the way here? Chen Waan, was it? Did you succeed in what you had approached me for? Congrats are in order I guess? What did you get? Money? I could have given it to you myself, why ask the company?" Mo Yifan's eyes turned fiercer with anger and humiliation.

No wonder she had helped him and not asked for money then. She was far more ambitious than she had posed as.

"Yifan, let's listen to her. Let's not jump to conclusions eh?" Wang Zibo restrained Mo Yifan. He was still a kid after all. If the manager was not careful, the artist could get in trouble for hitting another. He had to stop bickering of these two.

"Ms. Chen, could you please explain why you are here?" Wang Zibo adjusted his specs once he saw Mo Yifan calm down.

"Why don't you go and ask your dad why I am here?" Well, Chen Waan was always calm, so she had not raised her voice. But her sarcastic remark and expression were just cutting, flaring anyone's anger.

Wang Zibo raised his eyebrow. Where did this girl come to know that the owner of this company was his dad? It was not a very well known fact. If she had done her homework, then she was not here simply for money. Was she blackmailing for something bigger?

He glanced at her and then ran towards his dad's office. There was something fishy about this whole thing. He had to know the truth. Mr. Fan on the side was perplexed about this whole situation as well. But his duty was just to transport Ms. Chen so he would not meddle with his employer's order.

"Ms. Chen, let's go?" he asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead using a handkerchief. Mo Yifan also gave a look of disdain to the girl and followed after Wang Zibo to his boss's office.

"Dad! What is she doing here?" Wang Zibo stormed in Wang Zenghao's office, asking the question anxiously.

"What do you mean? I am recruiting her. Why are you so flustered? Did you already meet her?" Wang Zenghao was especially stern with his only son. He had to hand over the company to him in his later years.

Thus, Zibo was appointed as manager of the most difficult personality out of the whole lot. And now he would have to handle two very opposite personalities. Wang Zenghao could not stop smiling imagining his son's shocked face when he would break the news to him. But there was still time.

"Recruit? What does she possess that you would hire her? Is she blackmailing you about that incident?" Wang Zibo was an impatient one. He himself was young and still training to handle management. Wang Zenghao frowned on his son not having foresight.

"Do I look that easy to you that a kid would come and blackmail me into hiring her? Is that all the trust you have in me?" he thundered, halting even Mo Yifan in his tracks who had just entered the room.

Wang Zenghao was a level headed man. In front of worst adversities, this man would not even bat an eye. Why was he screaming at his own son like this? Mo Yifan felt sorry for his manager.

"But dad, why are you recruiting her then?" Wang Zibo asked in frustration. He could never understand what his dad was thinking. On the top of that, the pressure to succeed him would always get to him. In reality Zibo had an inferiority complex against his father. He could never measure up to his expectations and he could never strategize like him.

Although Zibo like his job, he was not sure if he would ever be able to be successful in taking over the company. Thus, the relationship between the father-son duo was not that great.

"You will understand in due time. For now, if she accepts the contract, which she will, she will be assigned as secondary manager to Mo Yifan, do you get it? Train her well," Wang Zenghao declared to both him and Mo Yifan nonchalantly, as if it was a very normal decision.

"What!" both exclaimed in unison. This lass, who was lowest of the lows in eyes of both of them, was going to be with them? Then they just needed to make sure that she did not sign the contract, right?
