1 Year of Beginning

“Give me one year of your life and I’ll give you the money you need.” Feng Mian is a normal and down to earth modern woman. She just wanted an ordinary life, an ordinary job and find an ordinary man to marry in the future. (Yes, all should be ordinary). But when family matters took a turn for the worst, she faced a huge dilemma called shortage of money. Suddenly, a contract came due to a series of coincidences. Zhang Liang was fed up with his father's (yes, father not mother) matchmaking schemes for him. He wanted to have a peaceful year because this was his chance to expand his business overseas, yet his father didn’t seem to get the message. When an ordinary fresh graduate employee in his company accidentally saw a scene, he decided to take the chance. “Since she has a normal background with nothing remarkable, nothing should go wrong, right?” Browsing through the contract, Feng Mian gritted her teeth. 'Fine. It was just one year of my life anyway. I wouldn't lose a lot.' But was it true? Or would that one year turn out to be a ride full of ups and down for both of them? ... Story set in modern era in fictional country. This story is purely fiction, any similarities with real life's event is purely coincidence.

Moody President Zhang

'Has she left?'

Feng Mian looked back from her shoulder. She heaved a sigh of relief when she noticed that Han Mei and that woman had left. In any case, she didn't want to get involved with Han Mei anymore. It would be best if they never cross path with each other anymore.

After a few more seconds walking, Feng Mian noticed that Mr. Yu parked not far from the lift. Her cheek reddened in embarrassment. He must have seen her clash with Han Mei.

Click!

"Welcome back, Madam. Are you alright?" The driver, Mr. Yu asked in concern.

Feng Mian waved her hand. "It's just some childish dispute when I was young. Can you take me home faster?"

"Certainly, Madam."

Mr. Yu started the car as he peeked to the front of the car slightly. If he was not wrong, Zhang Liang installed a camera on the front and back of the car so that he could monitor her. Because of his position, she might be placed in danger, so this was one of the ways he could watch over her.

- Zhang Liang's Office -

Zhang Liang had just finished his work for the day when he saw movement from the camera on Feng Mian's car. He could see Feng Mian stopped with Han Mei in front of her. They talked a bit and there were some voices that he couldn't hear because Han Mei whispered it. Though, he could read from Han Mei's lips movement.

"President Zhang, here's the report for today." Secretary He walked inside with a pile of paper in his hand. He noticed that Zhang Liang was staring at his computer screen without blinking. What had caught his interest?

"President?"

"Just put it here."

Secretary He placed the paper dutifully and looked over to Zhang Liang in confusion. It was unusual for the president to be so absent minded.

"He Lian."

"Yes?" Secretary He, He Lian, replied.

"What do you usually say for people who put on different front in front of you and in front of other people?"

"Dual faces?"

Zhang Liang moved his mouse to expand the picture. He could see the challenging and stubborn expression on Feng Mian's face. It was completely different from the submissive attitude she had when facing him.

However, he also recalled that she has some things that she wouldn't take no for the answer. At that time, she also showed this expression on her face. One that was full of determination and unwillingness.

"President?" Secretary He swore that President Zhang was truly acting strange today. He didn't understand why he asked those questions, something that he had never asked before.

"I'm just surprised." Zhang Liang noticed that Feng Mian had finished talking. Han Mei's face flushed red in anger while she pointed at Feng Mian, but there was nothing that she could do. Feng Mian walked away quickly before looking around to search for the car's location. She was trying not to be obvious, but her head was moving left and right slightly, showing that she was trying to find the car.

'She's different.'

Realizing his thoughts, Zhang Liang frowned. He shook his head light. He was just using her because he didn't want his father to pester him. There was no need for him to pay so much attention to her behavior.

But he needed to make sure that she could act appropriately in public for his images, right?

At this thought, the aura around Zhang Liang darkened.

"President Zhang!" Secretary He was frustrated. This president is really moody today. One second, he was absent minded, in the next second, he was surprised, and now, he's in a bad mood?

Just what is wrong with him?

Having his monthly… Ops, he better not said it or Zhang Liang would murder him. Even if it was just in his mind, Secretary He didn't dare to finish his thought.

Zhang Liang looked up. "Have you finished the selection?"

"There are all the reports."

"I'll take a look at home." Zhang Liang picked the documents and put them all into his bag. He glanced at Secretary He again. "Prepare the car."

Secretary He was standing in his place like an idiot when he saw Zhang Liang picked the documents. From what he knew, Zhang Liang usually finished his work in the office before going home, which was the reason why he always got home past midnight. It was also one of his miseries because his wife would nag him to go home earlier.

He didn't expect Zhang Liang to suddenly decide to do his work at home. In any case, it was good news for him.

"Yes!"

Hearing the order, Secretary He took the car key and bolted out of the office's room. He was worried that Zhang Liang would change his decision suddenly. In any case, he could finally spend his time with his wife!

Zhang Liang looked at the door suspiciously. Maybe it was a bad decision to work from home. His eyes landed on the screen on his computer again, which was showing the familiar road. He didn't know why, but he wanted to see her for himself.

He just felt that she was truly… different.

As for in what way, he was not totally sure.
