The clock was ticking and pointing at two. In the quiet night, the sound of clicking could be heard in a dark spacious room.

Xiong Zhi sat on her bed with her laptop on her lap. She was browsing at a certain website.

Since she made a deal with her grandfather, Xiong Zhi did not waste anytime. She only had four years to make her company big.

After her meal to her grandfather at that time, she recalled all company and projects that became successful in business industry. Including the big shots who would rise in seven years.

Xiong Zhi made advantage of her rebirth. She did not care if she looked like she was cheating.

She would made use everything of it.

She was grateful that even she did not care or take any action in business industry she still kept herself updated.

It was good that she was blessed with a good memory. Once she read or listen to something it will never erased in her mind even she did not pay any attention to it. She had an assumption that she had a photographic memory.

When she saw a petroleum company she remembered something. She took her small notebook and write some words.

She exited from the website and read some news.

'Senator Long found guilty in Opening new houses for squatters' fund corruption!'

'Pork-barrel of Chief Secretary Xim released! 21 people involved was being investigated'

'CJ's controversy : Fake diamonds? Secretary Xiao Mei the mastermind'

'Vincent Co and Que Lu marriage date : Next month?'

Xiong Zhi lips curled up slightly. She had found what she was looking for. She wrote some notes in her notebook.

After browsing for more, Xiong felt sleepy and called it a day.

________________________________

Today Xiong Zhi was dressed in a simple jeans, a white tank top, a black jacket, a running rubber shoes on, and a cap.

There was no school today.

She was looking at the phone that Linfeng gave her. She was thinking if she should call Linfeng and told him she was going out and if he want to accompany her.

After a while, she put her phone back in her pocket deciding she would not call.

Her life and Linfeng's life were separated right now. For all the aides that work for Xiong, they could only stay at Xiong mansion after they become twenty-one. So right now, Linfeng was not obliged to her beck and call. She also want Linfeng to live his life. She had a feeling that Linfeng was planning something, like preparing for something. Those eyes of Linfeng were saying it would not stay only at Xiong. Like her, he was probably making himself stronger.

'Linfeng...in time...I will settle my things for you. Just wait. Wait for me.'

Xiong Zhi went to her driver and then left.

Upstairs, an old man was leaning on the window, looking at the car that had left.

" Min, had someone follow Zhi'er [1].? Just stay far and protect her. Don't let her know. Don't interrupt to any of her business. "? Old Xiong said.

"En."

Zhou Min made some quick calls.

"I will notify my son--" Zhou Min started.

"No need. He's not twenty one yet. Let him have his freedom now."

"En."

After a while Old Xiong said.

"Do you think my granddaughter would succeed? In a mere four years.... How could she make a company she just built to become big in just four years? Is it possible a company made by a sixteen year old girl to succeed not just to mention in just four years?"

"I don't doubt Young Miss. Young miss Zhi is very smart and talented. And from what I saw from that deal she was very determined. She would surely succeed." Zhou Min answered.

" Hahaha! I trust your judgment. Do you know why I agreed to her deal? Because of her determination. To think it through , it was really impossible to succeed her goal. She was still young. But it's good. She can prove her worth. If she make a pleasant surprise, I don't probably need the grandson of that Old Guan anymore. I will have my own successor. " Old Xiong dreamingly said.

"But...how about your deal to the Guan family?"

Old Xiong smile froze when he suddenly realized something.

"Ah! I forgot to mention this deal to Old Guan. Just call him and tell him to make time to have dinner with me. We need to settle this." Old Xiong said while massaging his forehead.

"I have heard some news. Some days ago his grandson came here from overseas." Zhou Min said hinting something.

"How can I forgot! That's the reason why I send Zhi'er to school. If Zhi'er knows this she will think I break the deal." Old Xiong understand what Zhou Min was hinting.

He made a deal years ago to Old Guan, the head of Guan family.

They arranged a marriage to expanse their business and dominate the business world.

Her granddaughter, the first descendant, and his youngest? grandson were chosen as their pawn.

It was true that Old Xiong did not care any of his family members. If they behave he would kept them but if they embarrassed him he would cut ties with them without second thinking. Old Xiong was never fond of any of his sons and daughters nor grandsons and granddaughters.

But he made a deal with her eldest granddaughter, Zhi'er. And he was a man of his words.

However, he also made a deal to Old Guan and his grandson was already in the country, attending the same school as Zhi'er. He knew what it means. Old Guan took a step now.

"I need to meet with Old Guan as soon as possible. He probably mentioned it to his grandson." Old Xiong said.

"En, I will prepare for it." Zhou Min complied.

A black car was parked in front of police station.

Inside the police station, a gorgeous young man was sitting in front of a police officer. Beside the gorgeous man was a middle age man with a big body.

One tall man wearing a suit entered the room with a black suit case in hand.

"Good morning, I'm the lawyer of Mr. Su , my name is Wei Fan." The tall man said while shaking hands to the police officer.

"Yesterday evening, Mr. Fang harassed my client. He wanted to sleep with Mr. Su so that Mr. Su? could invest on their project proposal. But Mr. Su was a straight man and did not want to sleep with him so he rejected him. However, Mr. Fang assaulted Mr. Su by using force. If not for the waiter serving them, Mr. Su had been offended by this man. " the lawyer said in one breath.

"Liar! You are speaking nonsense! It was me who was assaulted by Mr. Su!" The gorgeous man said with rage.

This gorgeous man was Fang Dien who was being charge as the offender.

He gritted his teeth. He could not believe that this shameless bastard would go this far. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

He met this bastard two months ago because of a project proposal.

The bastard was none other than the middle age man in the room, Mr. Su.

Mr. Su had been pestering him for two months. Mr. Su was the representative of an investment company. He, as the accountant from the petroleum company had nothing to do with representing the project to the investors.

But those shameless fools, their head directors used him to lure this bastard.

He was just told to give the file to one of the directors in the conference room. He did not know he was being sacrificed as an offering to this bastard.

When he went to the office, he did not disappoint his directors. He really got the attention of Mr. Su. Those bastards knew that Mr. Su was fond of gorgeous young man like Fang Dien.

If they got the favor of Mr. Su by giving him such a gift , he would happily agree to their proposal.

So as expected, Mr. Su suggested that if he slept with him, their project proposal would be guaranteed to invest.

But Fang Dien was a man of his principles, he would never do such a disgusting thing.

Since young, he worked hard for himself. He became an orphan when he was sixteen. Life was tough on him.

He was working while studying. He finished college covered with sweats and blood. He only sleep two hours every day in that for years.

He thought having a degree would help him to have an easy life. But with his looks, he found out it was very difficult to find a good place to work. Before he got to the petroleum company he had worked in two companies. He got fired at the first company because he punched their head manager. He was really enraged at that time because that old man was harassing him. At first, he did not retaliate whenever he squeezed his butt. But when his wandering hands want to hold his 'thing' and saying outrageous disgusting thing to him such as wanting to have [email?protected] with him he could not hold himself but punched that dirty mouth of his. As a result, he got fired the next day after.

In the second company, he resigned.

(A/N : You probably guessed why. You're right. )

***[RR] : really? Because he killed someone? ****

(A/N : You're the only one who have that kind of guess. )

Now, at the age of twenty-three, he thought he found a good company with no one harassing him. He had been working here for almost two years. That's why he could not believe that the company would do such outrageous thing.

But the truth was in front of him.

Now this shameless bastard Su was twisting their stories!
