62 Project F

" Why don't you? " Victoria said jokingly but she didn't expect that Ting Mei would answer her seriously.

" Because I still have a lot to do here but I'll try to come to visit you guys as soon as possible! " Ting Mei happily promised.

" Yeah, you better! " Victoria answered cheerfully.

" Oh well, let's get back on the subject, I am sure that you didn't just call me to see how I was doing. Right? " Victoria asked.

" True. I wanted to ask you if you still had the document for Project F, I need it now. " Ting Mei changed into a serious voice.

" Project F? You are finally going to use it? " Victoria was surprised by her decision.

" Yes, I need to start now or else it will be too late. " Ting Mei said.

" Sure but it hasn't been reviewed for at least two years now. I'm not sure if everything is still fine so how about I review it before sending it to you? " Victoria proposed.

" You can look over it if you want but I want to make the important changes, if needed, by myself. Furthermore, the land and the staff should still be available, right? " Ting Mei questioned.

" Yes, everything is ready. I am only waiting for your signal to start the construction but that will at least take four months before completion. " Victoria affirmed.

" Then you can tell them to start immediately and to transfer everyone there. My private treasury should be able to cover all the cost and send me the document as fast as possible. " Ting Mei closed her book and went to put it back on her bookshelf.

" Of course, however, because it is a confidential document it will need proper protection and my company is busy with an upcoming conference and mission so I am short on staff right now. The only way to send it to you is to give it to him. He is going to see you and to do a business transaction there next week, so do you want to? " Victoria demanded.

" Him? Is it really the only way if I want to receive it by next week? " Ting Mei anxiously asked.

" I am afraid it is. " Victoria responded.

Ting Mei was silent for a moment before agreeing, " He'll come to find me one day or another..."

" Ok, I will immediately make the arrangements! " Victoria instantly got to work.

" Thank you Victoria, I don't know what I would do without you. " Ting Mei emotionally said.

" Haha! Don't worry, I'll always be here for you but I want to ask. Are you going to be the boss of that project? You do know how tasking it is to be a boss, right? You won't have time to be an actress and a boss at the same time. " Victoria stated.

" I know, I know, don't worry, I got plans! Thank you for worrying. It's getting late and I am going to sleep so I won't bother you anymore! " Ting Mei said while yawning.

" Sure, goodnight! " Victoria said before cutting the line.

Victoria took out the dusty document of Project F and sighed, " Here you go again, taking everything on your shoulders..."

Victoria then called her secretary, " Project F is officially lanced! Tell them to get to work immediately, four months from now, everything should be done! "

After giving out a few more instructions, she stored back the document and looked at a picture frame on her desk which made her slightly smile. In the picture was a group of young people cuddling together with huge grins while Ting Mei was in the middle.

However thinking about what they have become now, her smile disappeared and her eyes became dark, " You know what happens when Mei gets mad but you guys still went for it... I hope you guys are prepared for the consequences the moment she discovers that you guys are still acting..."

...

7 am

" Beep, beep, beep! " Ting Mei's alarm clock rang.

Ting Mei unwillingly got up and stretched, " Why did I set my alarm so early today?..."

The still drowsy and sluggish Ting Mei's eyes suddenly widened and her mind immediately became clear-headed, " My date with M. Heng Huan! "

" Wait! What am I thinking? Not a date, an appointment! " Ting Mei slapped herself on the cheeks and went to prepare.

She wore a casual pair of jeans, a white shirt with an ivory floral kimono paired with white flats. After putting on a bit of makeup, she looked at herself in the mirror, " It should be ok for a casual appointment, right? "

Just as she finished, Ting Mei heard the doorbell and went to open the door.

As soon as Ting Mei opened the door, a flamboyant and breathtaking bouquet of red roses appeared in front of her. A handsome man dressed in a pair of navy trousers, a white top, and a black business jacket handed it to her.

" For you Mei. " the man slightly showed a charming smile.
