Chapter 145 - Oh My

Liu Fung stared at the girl in front of him.

"Who?" He asked. He doesn\'t know any Xiong Zhi in the entertainment industry.

\'Is she a newbie? She is pretty good. But I don\'t touch minors.\'

"How old is she?" Liu Fung ignored Xiong Zhi and asked Gi Pieng. The man that he thought has the authority over these two.

"Um..that.." Gi Pieng doesn\'t know the answer. \'How old is boss?\'

"It doesn\'t matter how old I am. I am here to tell you why my two people are tailing you." Xiong Zhi said.

Liu Fung was stunned. He studied Xiong Zhi more.

Aside from being beautiful and looked like a rich pretty girl, she\'s just a young girl.

"Don\'t bring me nonsense. Are you saying these two owners of SHM is under your command?" Liu Fung scoffed.

"Yes. I hired them to tail you because I need your schedule to know when and where we can meet. I\'m here to make a deal with you." Xiong Zhi was not showing any rudeness since she was the one asking for help. She doesn\'t have any cards in her hands to make Liu Fung accept her proposal. All she could do now was to give a huge profit to Liu Fung to make him agreed to her proposal.

Xiong Zhi placed the folder on the table.

"You can take your time reading this."

Liu Fung looked at the folder then to Xiong Zhi. Then to the two men who were silent all this time.

Liu Fung was not the brightest but he has his instinct in this kind of deals.

Just listening to the girl and watching her move made Liu Fung knew that the girl was not an ordinary vase.*

He took the folder and read it.

After a while, Liu Fung\'s brow deepened.

"Why are you asking me for ArtWorld?" Liu Fung asked Xiong Zhi.

"Because you are one of the investors." She answered plainly.

"Y-yeah. No. What I mean is why you, a young girl, asking me about the ArtWorld? It is a project from Xiong Empire." Liu Fung could not understand. The great Xiong Empire was sending a little girl to convince him to invest in one of their projects? He was suspicious that maybe the girl was only playing and using the Xiong Empire.

But that couldn\'t happen. If the Xiong Empire knew that someone was using their name without their knowledge, the person in question would surely not be able to see tomorrow. Besides, the two SHM owners beside her was a living proof that what\'s she was saying was not a joke.

"Because I\'m Xiong Zhi. The young miss of the Xiong family. It is a given task for me." If it\'s in another time and another person, Xiong Zhi wouldn\'t bother to answer this and would go directly to the business. But again, she needs to be patient because she was the one at a disadvantage.

Liu Fung sucked in a deep breath. He remembered that there was a young miss of Xiong. But since that young miss of legendary Xiong was not usually seen in public, the people in the upper society forgot about her. Even the young miss\' name was not known. Only those who attended the Xiong banquet and Lu Yin Ze\'s birthday could recognize Xiong Zhi. Thus, Liu Fung who had never been there could not recognize Xiong Zhi. Or heard her name before.

"I-I apologize. I was being rude." Even though he could not really comprehend and believe the whole situation he tried to save his life first. If the girl was really the young miss and tattle tale that he was being rude to the young miss of Xiong, the Xiong family would not let him go unscathed. Better to play safe for now.

"It\'s alright. I can see your sincerity. I am being rude as well. I let these two tail you and bother you. Please forgive me for my rude actions." Xiong Zhi bowed as well. It was all for the proposal and the boss behind Liu Fung.

"Ah! No! No! It\'s fine. It\'s fine. How can I accept that?" Liu Fung was fl.u.s.tered. A Xiong apologizing to him? He could not afford to have this luxury.

\'Play safe. Play safe.\' He murmured to himself.

"Mr. Liu is being kind. I\'ll never forget your graciousness. So..what do you think about my proposal?" Xiong Zhi asked politely.

"Ah..Ms. Xiong Zhi, to be honest, I\'m planning to withdraw from ArtWorld. If you heard the news, ArtWorld will no longer be built. If I continue investing in it, I will lose a large amount of money."

"I understand. But what if ArtWorld will be constructed??"

"There\'s no way that can happen. The only land for ArtWorld is no longer available." Liu Fung shook his head. That said land was already under his boss.

"There is a way. ArtWorld will be taken over by another company. They are already revising ArtWorld. All I ask for you is to continue investing in ArtWorld until next month."

"I can\'t do that." Liu Fung doesn\'t believe that the failed project under the great Xiong Empire would be successful under another company. Unless if it was his boss.

"Mr. Liu, please continue investing ArtWorld until next month. I will pay all the cost you invest for that month with a 5% interest."

Liu Fung\'s eyes sparkled. It was like he let her borrowed his money for a month and then return it with an interest. It\'s a good deal. But Liu Fung was a businessman as well. And there is a reason why his boss accepted him to be his people aside from his obedience. That was he knew how to sucked people dry.

"Hmm. But you see, money is not that issue here. I\'m an investor. Investors need a reputation in order to have more business deals in the future. If news leaked out that I was investing ArtWorld that is a failure, my rivals will use this to attack me. Thus, I will be implicated." Liu Fung said with bothered expression.

"I assure you, Mr. Liu, that the new ArtWorld would not fail. Even if you stop investing, I will put your company on credits."

"But that is an empty word. How can I trust that? I\'m not taking a risk knowing it\'s not worth it."

"You don\'t need to trust me, Mr. Liu. Tell me what you want in order for you to sign this." Xiong Zhi was done playing in circles. It seems Liu Fung would not agree to her as long as she doesn\'t provide a lot of profit and benefits for him.

She chooses to be direct when it comes to giving what the other person wants. Because if she keeps giving him until he was satisfied, she would lose a lot. So it\'s better for her that Liu Fung state what he wants.

This move of Xiong Zhi stunned Liu Fung. He was planning to milked Xiong Zhi dry. By letting the girl gave him a suggestion after suggestion. Raising the weight of advantage in his hands. Who taught that the young girl did not take the bait and instead chose the direct method? She stopped his control of the conversation and turned it over for a clean start.

Now he was speechless. What kind of good thing he could ask so he could gain a lot?

As he was thinking, his phone rang.

It was his private phone. Since it came from his private phone, he knew it was important. He excuses himself first and answered the call.

"Ask for a favor." A cold voice sounded on the other line.

Liu Fung was very familiar with this voice.

"P-pardon?"

"Accept the deal. Ask for a favor. No. Make it two." Then the call ended.

"..." Liu Fung was speechless. It was his boss. Did he call just to ask for a favor? A favor for what. As he entered the room and saw Xiong Zhi. The idea struck him.

\'Yeah! My boss is listening to the whole time! \'

Liu Fung went back to his seat.

"Pardon me for the interruption. Then, Ms. Xiong Zhi, are you really willing to give me anything I want?"

"Yes." She answers in a deadpan manner. If it was too much she could just reject it.

"Then. I would like you to owe me two favor. I will continue investing in the ArtWorld. I have 5%interest for that whole month, and you owe me two favor. How about that?" Liu Fung said.

"Deal." Xiong Zhi does not really think twice about this favor. As long as she could do it, she would do it.

However, far in the future, this two favor would actually make her want to go back in time and never offer to owe him these two favor.

****

Lu Jin turned off the tablet. He was staring in the air. Thinking of something.

If Guan Gao Huan did not ask him to investigate the young miss of Xiong, he would not know of her name. Nor looked at her twice.

He already made an initial investigation of the young miss of Xiong. He trusted the results. But that results were far from what he heard today.

He thought she was just a mediocre rich girl. Silently living with her surname\'s wealth. Until she was married off and live a rich life.?Like every other rich girl.

But he thought wrong. Based on what he heard and what he witnessed, that girl was like a ferocious owl that silently stalking its prey. He almost overlooked her. If he did, and that girl grows unnoticed by him, he would surely be taken into a big surprise.

"Huo." Lu Jin called butler Huo.

Butler Huo bowed.

"Investigate Xiong Zhi again. Start with her routine. Look for her connections with SHM. And also-"

Lu Jin thought about the thing that he was worried about. If that girl knew of some shady business that his father done, then it would be troublesome.

"-also her connection to CJ. I want all of it."

"Yes, young master."
