Chapter 151 - Supposedly Daughter-in-law
Gu Zhen finally agreed to Xiong Zhi's suggestion. The 8-2 percentage of shares.
Song Xuantin agreed as well after Xiong Zhi whispered that if they both have shares in her company, then Gu Zhen and her could have the same workplace. In short, they could spend more time with each other.
The only thing left to do was to hire lawyers for this deal. That's not a problem for Xiao Mei, the Vice-director would clean up for them.
Seeing Xiao Mei getting their signatures, Xiong Zhi remembered her current task for her.
Xiong Zhi turned to Song Xuantin.
"Do you have any interest to enter the entertainment industry?"
Song Xuantin nodded. That's the workplace of her parents. Her freedom would be gone after she graduated from high school. As per her parent's plan, she would enter entertainment and attend schools and workshops for acting. Remembering this, Song Xuantin kinda felt bitter. Before, she took it as her goal, and she did not mind it. Since she was the daughter of the Hollywood actors, there no doubt that she too would follow their path. But now, she really felt happy when she and Gu Zhen was working on the project and the achievement she felt when they finished it.
Could she work with Gu Zhen instead?
Xiong Zhi remembered in her past life that Song Xuantin entered the entertainment industry after high school. However, after a few years, she quit and work in Gu Zhen's company. Maybe Song Xuantin won her love in her past life. The interaction between Gu Zhen and Song Xuantin might have hurried earlier than the past life because of their (Xiong Zhi and Song Xuantin) interference.
But Xiong Zhi knew of this past because Song Xuantin short fame in the industry was huge. In just two years, she managed to cast some popular dramas and Hollywood movies. With connections in Hollywood and the right resources, Song Xuantin gains fame in the entertainment industry. If she chose this path, Xiong Zhi knew that in a few years Song Xuantin would have snatched the title of Movie Queen from Xiong Wuyue.
However, after two years Song Xuantin unexpectedly quit in the entertainment industry and enter in IT business. This became shocking news of the year. Afterward, there's no news of her.
Since Song Xuantin had plans to enter the entertainment industry, Xiong Zhi was happy to help and exploit those two years.
"That's good to hear. Since you already owned 2% of the company, why not joined IHZHI's agency and be the second artist of the company?"
"Do you have an entertainment sector? I haven't seen it on the tour."
"It's not completed yet. Xiao Mei-" Xiong Zho turned to Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei turned to them after she made a phone call.
"How's the task so far?" Xiong Zhi asked.
"I choose the 9-12 floors to be under the entertainment section. It's under construction. King Yan had been receiving training from different workshops. But I hope we can make our own workshops." Xiao Mei reported.
"Good. You're doing a good job. I want you to meet Song Xuantin, my classmate, and the second artist in IHZHI."
Song Xuantin looked at the girl called Xiao Mei and waved at her.
"But Xiong Zhi. My parents already planned everything for me. They already chose a workshop and the company that would support me. " Song Xuantin knew that her parents set everything already. Her career path had already been set.
"So? Do you wish to work there or here-?" When Xiong Zhi said 'here' she was looking at Gu Zhen particularly. Gu Zhen was discussing the plan that Fang Dien has for him.
"That- Is that even a question?! You should know my answer! But of course, help me. If it I tell myself to my parents, they won't agree. But if you, a Xiong, speak of it to them, surely they would agree." Song Xuantin pleaded. If she told her parents that she was a friend of the cold miss of the Xiong family, her parents might not believe her and accuse her of just making excuses to slack off from training.
"Alright. I'll take care of them. So, Xiao Mei-" Xiong Zhi turned to Xiao Mei.
"You'll be handling entertainment section in the future. It would be the second-highest priority after the business section. Just focus on construction and these two artists."
"Yes, Miss." Xiao Mei bowed to her.
"Miss Song, please come with me. I'll discuss some matters with you."
"W-wait! It's starting now?!" Song Xuantin was being drugged by Xiao Mei.
"We are only discussing. What's the matter?" The serious face of Xiao Mei and her eyes that were saying 'if there's nothing else shut the f.u.c.k up' made Song Xuantin shuddered.
"There's nothing." For some reason, Song Xuantin finds Xiao Mei scary.
Xiong Zhi just was surprised to see this side of Xiao Mei. Then she remembered how this woman was very capable in her past life. How Xiao Mei laughed crazily in front of the TV camera and rejoice in CJ's bankruptcy. She was truly a scary lady.
Maybe Xiong Zhi doesn't know the reason why Xiao Mei was taking this task seriously. It was because of the words 'this is the second-highest priority'. Giving this task to her by her savior, and her grandmother's savior, Xiao Mei was dedicated to make IHZHI's entertainment section to be second to no one in this industry. And today was the start of the day.
The oh-so-smooth life of Song Xuantin's past life would be turned into a hellish training by the demonic Xiao Mei. But that's for the future.
*****
The first one who got out of the car was Song Xuantin.
"Xiong Zhi, that Xiao Mei, is my manager in the future?" Song Xuantin asked with worry.
"Yes, she is. She is very capable and responsible. You don't have to worry about anything." Xiong Zhi said.
"Yeah. She looks very dedicated. But she wouldn't squeeze me dry right?" Song Xuantin sweated when she remembered all the future plans for her. She was just introduced that day but that 'future manager' of hers already come up with a plan in a matter of minutes. Thinking of that was really scary. Especially, the training. Could she back out?
Xiong Zhi finds it amusing seeing Song Xuantin sweated and scared of Xiao Mei.
'There's really a person who could match a person. God is fair.'
Xiong Zhi held her laugh.
"You don't have to worry. She will not abuse you. "
"Alright. I trust you then." Song Xuantin left the car and walk to her maid.
After a while, it was Gu Zhen's house.
Gu Zhen then turned to Xiong Zhi.
"I will visit IHZHI again this weekend. I need to install the security system that I made. I trust you to not tell it to my father."
"I know it's not yet the time."
Gu Zhen left.
Now, only Lu Yin Ze and Xiong Zhi left in the car.
"Xiong Zhi, do you want to have dinner at my house?"
It's already late. Xiong Zhi has to drop by Gu Zhen and Song Xuantin.
But she was stunned that Lu Yin Ze invited her.
'Does he have something to tell me?'
"Alright. I'll call my house first."
"I will tell my butler as well to inform the Xiong Mansion about it."
Both of them made phone calls. Then the car went straight to the Lu Mansion.
******
The Lu Mansion was very lively as all the outstanding chefs in the mansion were cooking the highest of delicacies they ever made in their life. The gardeners were even pruning the garden at night. All the people in the mansion were busy. It was because of the head butler's shout.
After the head butler received the call from Lu Yin Ze, he shouted at the maids and chef.
"A very important person for the second young master Lu will come today to have dinner. Prepare the mansion! Chefs! Make sure the food you will bring will taste heaven! Maids! Bring out the newest carpet! Change this dark curtain to lighter ones! Gardeners! Make sure all flowers and leaves are in perfect condition!--" the shout of the head butler brought all the maids in turmoil.
It was the first time that a visitor would have dinner in the Lu Mansion! That's the first 'invited' visitor after the Madam died. So every maid and butler in the Lu Mansion were so excited and happy about it.
"What's going on?" Master Lu was wearing his robes. He was just done with his afternoon massage and went down to walk a little and ask the chef to cook Lu Yin Ze's favorite soup. But he was stunned when he saw all the maids were busy running to and fro.
"Ah. Master Lu. It's good news. The second young master called a few minutes ago and said that he would bring his friend to have dinner here." The head butler of Lu Mansion said with tears of joy in his eyes.
"What?! Why didn't you tell me earlier?! Butler Huo Wang! Use my jet and fly to France. Borrow the chef of Mandolin restaurant. The chocolate cheesecake he made last time was loved by little Yin's friends!"
Butler Huo Wang was like a wind. A minute later a jet was flying out of Lu Mansion.
"Tsk. It would be too late. We need to let little Yin's friend stay here tonight. So tomorrow little Yin's friend would taste the delicious chocolate cheesecake. Thus, being close to my little Yin more. Oh, head butler. Did little Yin mentioned who's friend was it?" Master Lu asked the head butler.
"Ah. Yes. He said 'My friend, Xiong Zhi would have dinner tonight at our house, please prepare well.'" The head butler recited well Lu Yin Ze's words.
Master Lu's eyes shined.
"It is daughter-in-law!"
Master Lu felt like he was years younger.
"Prepare my bath! This old master should greet my daughter-in-law. "
The maids and the butler who heard this became more excited than ever before.
