The Witch CEO Is NOT A Demoness Chapter 18 - Your Chance

Chapter 18 - Your Chance

When MinFeng was preparing to go, he suddenly saw Feng Jiu walking towards them. He immediately turned towards Mr. Xiu. Without saying anything, Mr. Xiu nodded.

"I owe you one." MinFeng said before leaving. He saw Feng Jiu tried to chase him but was stopped by Mr. Xiu. Inside the car, MinFeng undressed and grab another s.h.i.+rt. He immediately gave the long-sleeve s.h.i.+rt to Chen Hao and instructed, "Burn this one. Feng Jiu saw me."

"Yes Boss."

"She saw me with Mr. Xiu. She might be suspicious of me right now. She will hire someone to gather data about me. Immediately conceal everything. Tell MinDe to be my subst.i.tute in speaking with the investors for now."

Chen Hao was reluctant.

"Will Second Young Master agree---"

"He will. Tell him that the island in West Coast Carolina that he wanted, I will give it to him--- for FREE."

Chen Hao went speechless. 'An island in exchange for a subst.i.tution?! How extravagant.'

"Yes boss. I will immediately tell Second Young Master."

"Mmm.."

Feng Jiu was currently driving towards HuaRong Hotel. Dressed in a long-sleeved blouse and a tight knee-length skirt, Feng Jiu was already in her Witch CEO mode.

She drove her car at the parking lot and immediately went inside the hotel. She was at the door when she saw a man wearing a long sleeve s.h.i.+rt talking with Mr. Xiu. The man was facing his back at her, so she was not able to see his face clearly.

Mr. Xiu and the man shook hands. The man turned his head on the side and walked away. Feng Jiu saw the face of the man and was inwardly shocked to see that it looked exactly like MinFeng.

"MinFeng?" Feng Jiu walked and tried to chase the man she saw together with Mr Xiu a while ago.

MinFeng!!" She almost caught him, but Mr. Xiu called her.

"Miss Feng!"

She stopped her steps. She was conflicted whether to continue chasing that man or to turn around and walk towards Mr. Xiu.

A couple of seconds later, Feng Jiu turned her head and saw Mr. Xiu walking towards her. She wanted to follow the man who looked like MinFeng, but Mr. Xiu was already in front of her. Feng Jiu walked towards the old man and shook his hand. "Finally, the aloof Queen of Feng International is here in front of me. It's my pleasure to meet a woman like you. He's indeed right. You are very unique."

'He?' Even though she was puzzled, Feng Jiu could only place it at the back of her mind and immediately jumped into business.

"Mr. Xiu, I would like to talk to you regarding the upcoming Bidding Convention. If you could just give me a minute of your time, you would definitely not regret it."

"Oh? Then let's go inside and discuss about it." Mr. Xiu walked back inside the hotel. Feng Jiu reluctantly followed. Her head turned towards where the man went a while ago. Trying to see if she could still look at his face to clarify whether she was just seeing things or not.

After sitting, Feng Jiu gave the project proposals to Mr. Xiu. He opened the folder and read the contents. Few minutes later, he put the folder on the table and grab his wine gla.s.s.

He first sipped some wine before speaking. "Indeed. This proposal is very catchy and innovative. Fusing Architectural Designs with Nature and Environment."

"I am glad you like it, Mr. Xiu. But I would like to ask if the Lu Corporation already submitted their designs for the upcoming convention?"

Mr. Xiu's eyebrows rose. "Seems like Miss Feng is very curious about their compet.i.tors especially the Lu Corporation."

"Indeed. I admit that I am a little curious about our 'enemy'. It's been a while since Feng International entered this market. From the time it was managed by my grandfather until I personally succeeded his throne, Feng International has always been on top of the food chain without any worthy compet.i.tors."

"Mmm.. You are correct. Also, Lu Corporation's representative already talked to me."

'Lu Corporation's representative? That man a while ago?'

"Although the Lu Corporation is currently venturing in this line of business, it seems that they won't be partic.i.p.ating in the upcoming Bidding Convention."

Feng Jiu froze. "May I know the reason why Lu Corporation decided to retreat without a fight? It seems like Mr. Xiu already knows the reason why."

Mr. Xiu laughed heartily. "Hahahah!! Indeed, I know the reason why. It was because that man decided to put his investment towards other things. He'd rather invest on his future than the company."

'That man? The Eldest Young Master?' Feng Ji's left eyebrow rose. 'What other future could any of us in this line of business have other than securing the stability of our company?'

Feng Jiu's eyes flickered. She found this Eldest Young Master of Lu Corporation impossible to read.

Recalling the man he saw a while ago, Feng Jiu could not help but suspect that he was MinFeng. But… 'Was he really MinFeng?'

-----¬¬--

After her met up with Mr. Xiu, Feng Jiu immediately called Ming Yue. "I want you to gather all the data you can find about this Eldest Young Master of Lu Corporation. You have to do it ASAP."

"Yes Madam." Ming Yue answered.

'I hope I am wrong.' Feng Jiu suddenly feels nervous.

'What if my suspicions were correct? What should I do?' Feng Jiu was feeling conflicted. Thinking about what happened at the hotel, her heart immediately froze. If that man was really MinFeng, she would not know what to do... what to feel...

Since young, she already closed her heart, not letting other people enter her private s.p.a.ce nor showing her true self, but it was very different towards MinFeng. She opened her door, allowing the man to enter her own world and letting him see her naive and vulnerable other self.

She never trusted anyone aside from her grandfather. But now, he trusted that man who came into her life in just a blink on an eye, without knowing everything, without even asking questions. She just trusted him unconditionally. But what if the man she trusted with all her heart suddenly betray her? Could she accept the fact that he lied to her?

Feng Jiu suddenly wanted to fly towards where MinFeng was and ask him questions.

'But if he is truly MinFeng, why did he say he was a NEET to begin with? Why did he lie and say he doesn't have any food to eat nor a place to stay? Why didn't he tell me everything and decided to conceal his ident.i.ty?

Feng Jiu feels like she was in a popular TV drama. Her life suddenly became full of twists and turns.

'No. I have to know everything. I must ask MinFeng and avoid jumping into conclusions. 'If he really is what I think he is, I wanted to know his reason. I wanted to give him a chance and explain everything to me." Feng Jiu immediately drove towards their house.
