Yao Yi's Party (1)

Yao Yi came to greet them as soon as she spotted them coming inside. She was looking ecstatic and she said, "Xie Yuansheng, because of you I am a happy person. I know my hotel is going to be in the hands of a capable businessman."

Xie Yuansheng smiled and bowed a little. "Thanks for placing your trust in me Yao Yi."

"I have already signed the legal papers," she said as she guided them through the crowd to the main stage. A large crowd had gathered already and there was a lot of activity in the room. The crowd had staff that was originally from the hotel as well some new ones from Feng Company.

While walking she asked, "Xie Yuansheng, have you proposed to this beautiful girl yet?"

Xie Yuansheng's smile broadened. He said, "Well you have to ask her for me because she doesn't quite like me yet."

Yao Yi stopped and looked at Feng Xieying with a bewildered expression. She said, "Feng Xieying, is that true? Do you have someone in your mind? Because you won't find a better match than Xie Yuansheng."

Feng Xieying laughed as she looked at Yao Yi and said, "I have known him for three weeks only. You should give me more time Yao Yi."

"Oh! That is not a 'No' then!" exclaimed Yao Yi.

Feng Xieying blushed yet again.

Yao Yi said excitedly, "You see there are plenty of fish who would love to grab this tiger. They are waiting for his green signal. Do you want to see a demonstration?"

Feng Xieying instantly became alert. No more demos! She had seen them already! So she immediately answered, "No! I know that Xie Yuansheng doesn't have a paucity of girls who want to be his wife."

Yao Yi started laughing. Together they reached the center stage where Xie Yuansheng was taken by Yao Yi. Feng Xieying chose to stay down. Yao Yi took the mic and announced to everyone present over there, "Good even ladies and gentlemen. From next week onwards, this hotel will have the new ownership. Please welcome Xie Yuansheng as your new boss."

A loud applause broke into the hall. Xie Yuansheng smiled and took the mic that Yao Yi handed to him. He said, "Thank you all for being here. A new era starts and I hope you will take care of me." He bowed in front of the public and his eyes darted to Feng Xieying but he couldn't find her.

People started looking at him with a lot of enthusiasm. Most of them wanted to shake hands with him and so they had lined around the stage, pushing Feng Xieying in the background. Many young girls and boys were eagerly waiting for him to come down.

Xie Yuansheng got down from the stage and looked around for Feng Xieying but he was surrounded by so many people that he couldn't see where she was. He had to courteously shake hands with those present there. He tried to make his way out of the crowd but people won't let him go. They started introducing themselves. The young girls started fluttering their eyes and smiling at him, while the boys wanted to make conversation.

Lim Chen had also come for the party. When Xie Yuansheng was making the speech, Lim Chuen was standing by the bar, watching him. The hotel would have been his if Wang Zirong would have properly executed his plan. He looked at Feng Xieying who was standing and only looking at Xie Yuansheng. He eagerly awaited the report on her.

He had got his daughter along with him whom he had asked to stay near Xie Yuansheng as much as possible.

Xie Yuansheng got out of the crowd somehow and his eyes started searching for Feng Xieying frantically. He spotted her talking to few men and women and sighed a breath of relief. In his current condition, he just wanted her to stay with him, near him.

He accepted a glass of whiskey from the waiter and walked to her. "Where did you go?" he asked as soon as he reached. He took his hand on her back and stroked it lightly. "Stay with me," he said in an urgent tone.

Feng Xieying smiled and nodded. They continued to talk to the people there. Xie Yuansheng noticed from the corner of his eye that Lim Chuen had also come. He was walking towards them with his daughter Lim Fei Yen.

Xie Yuansheng already knew that in the past life Lim Chuen had been his enemy number one. But the fact that he held a large number of shares of the Feng company made him one of the strongest players in the field opposite Xie Yuansheng. The scary detail was that he wanted to own Feng Conglomerate. But in this life Xie Yuansheng had promised not to commit same mistakes. The company belonged to his wife and he would protect both the company and his wife.

When Lim Chuen came nearer, Xie Yuansheng held Feng Xieying's waist and brought her closer to him much to Lim Fei Yen's disappointment.

"Xie Yuansheng, how are you doing my boy?" said Lim Chuen in his usual style as soon as he came there, surprising Feng Xinying.

Lim Fei Yen smiled sweetly at him and said, "Xie Yuansheng, it has been a very long time since we have met. Where have you been?"
