BXBX NOVEL Chapter 86 - Hatelist
If there is a way for me to see:
Your chared parts
Try not to wince when I apply the ointment of my love
Because in your chared parts:
I see a hero; destructed yet undefeated.
(A Phoenix )
---- Zhenyi.
Zhenyi came to the office because she knew if she stayed at home. Home. What a bullshit! She was never going to call that place home again especially not until he told her the ultimate reasons for his mega fucked-up-ness. only she knew how much she wanted to slap his gorgeous face and kick his smooth and toned stomach but she didn\'t. Not because she couldn\'t but because she chose to not give him what he wanted.
The atmosphere inside the presidential Secretariat was tense and silent. Heck, too silent that even the drop of a needle could be heard.
The always babbling Fan Bingbing dared not to ask his friend or boss or whichever role she was playing now who dared to sign his death warrant?
"Are you going to come on or continue staring at me until you satisfy your curiosity, Ms. Fan? Zhenyi asked Fan Bingbing who was still standing at the door with a file, contemplating whether to come in or not.
\'Good decision \' Zhenyi thought to herself because if she was given a choice she would probably go to the mountains to cool her mind. Perhaps mountains wouldn\'t be a good decision to get rid of his thoughts and her anger because he had tattooed mountains too with his name in her memory.
Fan Bingbing came in and set the file on the table as she occupied a seat in front of Zhenyi.
" We have a problem. Well, more than one."Fan Bingbing finally said.
"And?" Zhenyi raised a brow in response.
"It\'s urgent." Fan Bingbing tried to defend herself.
Actually, XC was facing problems for the last three days, but it reached its maximum point on the day after Zhenyi\'s wedding.XC was getting showered with problems one after another. Some minor some major but they were ordered not to inform Zhenyi.
"If it\'s urgent why I am not informed before?" Zhenyi asked Fan Bingbing. However, Zhenyi knew it was either Xin Yichen\'s doing or Ryuu\'s.
"It was Master Xin\'s order not to disturb you for the time being." Fan Bingbing defended herself.
Which sane man on the planet would go against Xin Yichen\'s order?
Ostensively not Fan Bingbing.
"Good. So, who died?" Zhenyi asked as she picked up the files Fan Bingbing placed on the table.
Every time Zhenyi heard the word \'urgent\' it has something to do with deaths. Last time, Sam and Cao Feng were injured. Speaking of Cao Feng and Sam, they hadn\'t woken up from their comatose state. Zhenyi had not paid a visit to them after the day of the accident.
"Unfortunately, nobody. The Du cooperation released a new statement that they will be venturing into the entertainment industry now and just after few minutes, they poached many of our new and old artists." Fan Bingbing informed Zhenyi.
The crisis called \'Du cooperation\' emerged after Zhenyi returned to Beijing and seized the command of XC\'s office in China.
"Du cooperation paid for their breach of contract?" Zhenyi asked her eyes still on the file.
"Yes, not only artists but many of the directors and producers the moonlight entertainment has worked with, refused to work with us as they have stated that they are not satisfied with the sudden change in the higher-ups. The previous CEO\'s nephew is waging the red flags of war against Xin cooperation."
"And I suppose he is backed by Du Cooperation?"Zhenyi asked again.
"Absolutely, many of the minor shareholders sold their shares overnight but we managed to buy them in time."
Fan Bingbing presented the list encompassing the loss incurred by XC and the plummeting share prices.
"So, the only damage is to the Moonlight Entertainment company?" Zhenyi asked, flipping another page of the file.
"No, the Du cooperation send us a notice that they\'re suing the Xin cooperation. A pharmaceutical company under Xin Cooperation recently launched a medicinal drug and the Du cooperation is claiming that the company stole the formula from them, "Fan Bingbing said, showing the legal notice that Du cooperation sent them in the morning.
"There is a chance the patented drug will be off the market as they had substantial evidence to support their claim."She continued.
Now, that was a real problem.
Suddenly, she had an urge to remove the word \'real\' from the dictionary.
"You are saying that the pharmaceutical company stole their formula?" Zhenyi inquired.
"No, they didn\'t, " Fan Bingbing said.
She was quiet for a moment. "But evidence can be fabricated and law can be fooled."
"Funny, how Du cooperation is playing this dirty game of business with me! Never mind, I was bored out of my head. Finally, a fish to challenge the shark."Zhenyi smirked.
She could imagine most of the businessmen would be in distress to be in her situation right now. But she? It only made her excited, perhaps amused too.
"Let the Ceo Du.. enjoy the sweet taste of victory for now on because once I stepped into the water he has to taste the sour taste of defeat. And I never have any problem with playing the dirty game," Zhenyi said and slapped the file on the table.
You never cease to amaze me." Fan Bingbing sighed.
At the same time, Lu Xinyi came with an iPad in her hand.
"We have a problem, President Xin." Lu Xinyi breathed.
She came running to Zhenyi when another problem landed on their doorstep. The presidential secretariat
had been in frenzy since the morning. The media is now impossible to deal with. The artists which left the Moonlight Entertainment company left bad press for XC.
"One more?" Binging asked.
"Unfortunately, two." Lu Xinyi sighed.
"Air china deal has sent their representatives to cancel the deal and refused to give compensation to XC as it was specifically written in the contract signed that if there is a case of bad press and inept management, the deal will automatically be canceled."
"Fuck. Zhenyi, why do I have a feeling someone is plotting against you? First the Starlight, then Du cooperation now the deal with Air China canceled too," Fan Bingbing said.
"What\'s the second problem, Miss Lu?" Zhenyi asked.
"A murder case. And it appears you are the suspect President."
"Hahahahaha" Fan Bingbing laughed.
Lu Xinyi looked at Fan Bingbing in confusion. Noticing their gaze, Fan Bingbing tried to control her laughter.
"Sorry," she said.
"I-"
"I\'m trying to cont-"
"Shit. I\'m trying to control." Fan Bingbing said between tears.
"Who died, Miss Lu?" Zhenyi asked, ignoring Fan Bingbing who was still laughing.
For crying out loud, what was wrong with Fan Bingbing?
"President Xin, the owner of the Dèja Vú club. The police found his body in the club this morning. He was shot in the head. The police need to interview you and check if you have an alibi.If not, they might arrest you in suspect of murder."
"Just shot in the head?" Fan Bingbing asked as if killing somebody by shooting him in the head was not a big deal.
"Yes, Miss Fan." Lu Xinyi replied. She was surprised by the fact that there was someone who could behave like her in the presence of Zhenyi. It was like she was not afraid of Zhenyi. Though Zhenyi was no ghost that people found scary she was not less scary like a ghost either.
"Easy death," Zhenyi muttered under her breath but thankfully it was not audible enough for weak-hearted people like Lu Xinyi.
"Yes?" Lu Xinyi said as if she heard something.
"Poor guy. I feel bad he died early," Zhenyi sympathized...not.
Fortunately or unfortunately, sympathy was one of the virtue Zhenyi didn\'t possess.
"Who do you think killed that poor guy, Miss Lu?" Fan Bingbing asked.
"Uh... I don\'t know but it\'s definitely not President Xin. I don\'t think President is capable of committing a heinous crime such as murder and that too of a man who has little kids and a wife to support." Lu Xinyi sincerely replied.
A laugh escaped Fan Bingbing\'s lips again but this time she controlled it before Zhenyi lost her temper.
"Something Got stuck in my throat." Fan Bingbing cleared the throat.
"Call my attorney, Bingbing and inform him to deal with the law protectors," Zhenyi said with slight disgust.
"Ummm...President, I\'m afraid that you have to personally confront the police. They have to record your statement," with a slight hesitation Lu Xinyi said.
"Miss Lu, do you know I have a hate list?"Zhenyi stood up and walked towards Lu Xinyi and took the files from her hands.
Lu Xinyi who was staring in a daze at Zhenyi shook her head in response.
"Well, you know now. I\'m telling you because I want you to know and understand the fact if you want to continue being my secretary that the law protectors or the so-called police are ranked second on my hate list. I have enemies more formidable and heinous than one can ever think. Yet, the police are ranked second and they are not even on the list."
Lu Xinyi nodded her head in confusion.
"In human words, Zhenyi hates dealing with the police as much as I hate Cao Feng," Fan Bingbing said to ease Lu Xinyi\'s confusion.
"Sure, President Xin, I will make another arrangement now." Lu Xinyi said and picked up the files again to leave the presidential office.
Zhenyi sat back on her throne like the queen that she was.
"President?"Zhenyi looked up to see Lu Xinyi at the door.
" May I ask who is on the top of your hate list?"Lu Xinyi asked in hesitation.
"Unfortunately, my husband."
