Wang Zǐróng

"Hello, Xie Yuansheng," she greeted him with honeyed voice.

Xie Yuansheng looked back in surprise. "Wang Zǐróng!" He got up from his place and greeted her with a lot of interest as Feng Xinying watched them with disdain.

Wang Zǐróng hugged him as though hugging a long lost friend and wiped his upper lips with her finger. Then she looked at Feng Xinying smugly.

"Oh, hello! Who is this Xie Yuansheng? Your new love interest?" she asked almost burning with jealousy.

Xie Yuansheng looked at Feng Xinying fondly and said, "She is my head secretary."

"Doesn't she know how to greet the seniors of this company?" she asked Xie Yuansheng while looking at Feng Xinying.

Xie Yuansheng smiled at her and said, "Feng Xinying, this is Wang Zǐróng, Vice President of Procurement in our company."

Feng Xinying greeted her feebly while sitting at her place. "Hello Wang Zǐróng."

She didn't even bother to get up, which Wang Zǐróng noticed and became infuriated all the more inwards. "You can call me 'Madam'," said Wang Zǐróng with a proud air around her.

Feng Xinying narrowed her eyes and said, "Why? Are you that old, madam?"

Wang Zǐróng became furious and said, "I don't like when juniors behave like that. So you better behave in front of me."

Then on purpose she went and sat beside Xie Yuansheng. Keeping her hand on his thighs, she said, "You work a lot Xiao Sheng. Why don't just the two of us go on a holiday?"

Xie Yuansheng removed her hand from his thighs and said, "Wang Zǐróng, you have good imagination. Why would I go with you?" he started laughing.

"Well okay, let us go on a business trip together. We can do business and also have pleasure," replied Wang Zǐróng and started laughing as she stroked his hair.

Xie Yuansheng also laughed as he removed her hand from his hair. "Wang Zǐróng you are bullying me, right?"

Feng Xinying started to get up with her file. "I will go outside and check the notes and send them an email about it."

"You can do it from here Feng Xinying," said Xie Yuansheng gravely. He didn't want her to go out of his sight even for a minute. He had been craving to see her since morning. But he had to go to the conference. The minister of industries had called a few top industrialists of the country. Xie Yuansheng was the most intelligent one amongst the ones he had called. Even though it was a conference, in the background they had to deal with a situation in which the country's economic climate was under threat. Along with his brother Xie Shengjun, he had had a secret meeting with the minister. They had to discuss the entire plan of action. For that reason he had sent Yun Chen earlier and came back much later.

"But I don't have my computer here," said Feng Xinying.

"Go and work on my computer," he said staring at her intensely.

"Let her go outside and work Xie Yuansheng. I have to talk something important to you," said Wang Zǐróng. She glared at Feng Xinying.

Xie Yuansheng frowned and said, "No, I am giving her important notes about the Oulang project. She has to stay here." He was looking at her face to see whether she was feeling jealous or not.

Feng Xinying bit her lower lip when she found him staring at her. She picked the file and went to work on his computer.

Wang Zǐróng knew who Feng Xinying was but she knew that Feng Xinying didn't know her, as she had never met her before. However Wang Zǐróng feigned ignorance. She couldn't let Feng Xinying come back to the Feng Conglomerate and most importantly to Xie Yuansheng. She hated her right from the high school when Xie Yuansheng would only look for her or talked about her.

Wang Zǐróng loved Xie Yuansheng madly but had never been able to tell her true feelings to him only because he was madly in love with Feng Xinying. She could never understand what was it that connected him to her when she would practically throw herself on him. She had also hinted him that she would be sleep with him if he ever wanted.

Feng Xinying went to his chair and started working on his computer. Xie Yuansheng couldn't concentrate on Wang Zǐróng anymore and stared at her. He squirmed in his seat and crossed his legs as he imagined countless possibilities with her on the office table.

Feng Xinying was impressed by his office desk, which was neatly arranged. Not a thing was out of the place. She kept her file and finalized the notes. From the corner of her eye she noticed that Wang Zǐróng was giggling and trying to touch Xie Yuansheng, which he was deftly dodging. She chuckled inwards at his efforts. In the next twenty minutes she finalized the notes and sent the email to the Oulang Corporation.

She got up from her seat and started to leave, when Xie Yuansheng again called her, "Where are you going?"
