《The Mafia King’s First Love》The Mafia King's First Love

Ruomei blinked her eyes.
Fai?
Jiang Fai might have a loud and arrogant mouth, but in front of Wei, he would always tightly zip his lips. His commanding aura was different from the rest of the family members and every time they met, he couldn't help but just... keep quiet.
Lihua was dumbfounded.
Why is he suddenly so mellow?
He walked in, clasping his fingers together in trepidation.
Wei curiously looked at Lihua. "Fai?"
"En!" She bobbed her head. "He is the one who will help us!"
Ruomei grimaced. "Lixue I... don't know what to say to you. How can Fai help us? He is just seventeen and in high school."
"So? Didn't Wei begin helping in business when he was just sixteen? Was he any less capable just because he was a teenager?" She shot back.
Fu Renshu raised his brow.
Good going, dumb woman.
That got her tongue-tied.
"You... don't put false words in my mouth!" She flustered. "I never meant it like that! Of course, nobody can question Wei's capabilities."
Lihua nodded. "Yes. So we cannot question Fai Fai's capabilities either. And he is suspended from school anyway. Might as well be of some use to the business and help his cousin!"
"..."
Jiang Fai was speechless.
Wei softly smiled. "En."
What the fuck!?
Jiang Fai felt as if he was blinded.
When will I come to terms that my cousin can smile like that now too?
Fu Renshu said, "Boss, I think we should hear what both have to put forth."
Wei narrowed his eyes at Ruomei. He shamelessly wanted to accept his wife's proposal without even blinking his eyes. He trusted Lihua.
Lihua nodded. "Of course! Everybody's idea should be taken into consideration."
Ruomei gritted her teeth, feeling furious. She felt utterly downgraded being forced to compete with Lihua.

Fu Renshu immediately arranged for a meeting with the important stakeholders. Jiang Weizhe and his brother Jiang Weiyuan were present too. His son, Jiang Li, quietly stared at Lihua and tilted his head. His gaze was unreadable.
Ruomei was surprised. She wasn't aware that the family members would be here too.
This is a good chance for me to show how better I am than Lixue. She cannot possibly beat me with her ignorance and someone who hasn't even graduated, she smirked.
Fu Renshu said, "As you all know, there is an important proposal coming up. Miss Shi has offered her help and Madam, too, has an idea in her mind which she would like to share."
Ruomei was the first to come up. She had created presentations, giving statistics of the last five years and using data analytics, she came up with her systematic plan of using the past experiences to promote the hotel that Jiang Industries would build.
"Jiang Industries is a brand in itself. As such, we will face no problems in advertising our hotel. Our connections with the other CEOs will definitely help us gain momentum. The service industry is going well right now which is extremely beneficial for a top company like us," she smiled.
The others gave a slow nod in acknowledgment.
"Any questions?"
Lihua raised her hand. "Me!"
Her mouth twitched. "Yes?"
"I don't understand anything!" She sobbed. "There are too many numbers. I don't remember anything about my life before I lost my memory, but I think I would have definitely hated math! My brain just exploded!"
Silence.
Ruomei looked at her, dumbfounded.
Is she an idiot?
She smiled. "It's okay, Lixue. After all, you don't understand business and its working. I don't blame you for not understanding my presentation," she sighed. "That's why I said that it would be difficult for you…"

You dug your own grave with your incompetence hah!
Obviously, Ruomei didn't leave a chance to imply that Lihua was ignorant.
Wei said, "It's like this…"
The Mafia King, without any hesitation, began explaining the presentation to Lihua. The other stakeholders looked wide-eyed at him.
He was patiently explaining everything to Lihua without any complaint. Lihua slowly nodded and then beamed. "Oh, now it was easier! I understand now! Wei. You are such a great teacher!"
"Anything for you. You can always ask me if you don't understand anything."
Wei smiled, making the stakeholders almost drop dead in their seats.
Jiang Wei is... smiling!?
At such a rare sight, they felt as if they saw heaven.
"Okay, so it's my turn, right?"
Fu Renshu said, "Yes, Madam."
May this dumb woman has some really nice idea to give or she will be a joke.
Some of the stakeholders were quietly snickering at Lihua for blatantly admitting that she didn't understand anything. How would she give a decent presentation?
Ruomei noticed their mocking gazes and felt even more confident.
Lihua took the center spot and dragged Jiang Fai with her. He wanted to kill her because he suddenly got stage fright and after Ruomei's presentation, he had lost his confidence.
This dumb sister-in-law! Damn it! I don't want to do this anymore, he sobbed.
"Alright! Thank you for giving me this chance to present my idea. Miss Ruomei indeed gave an excellent presentation. But I have a question. How long will we simply look at the past data and use it again and again?"
Jiang Weizhe and Jiang Weiyuan furrowed their brows.
"Isn't it time to do something new and try something that we have never done before? Sure, Miss Shi's idea is a sure-shot idea and will work. But at the same time, people also want to see something exciting happening. That's why, to advertise our hotel, we will create a story!"
Everybody looked at her, speechless.
Huh? A... story?
Wei curiously asked, "A story?"
Lihua beamed. "Yes! Everybody likes stories. Everybody watches movies because they entertain us so much. There is thrill, action, drama, suspense and so much more. So, I was thinking how it would be a great idea to promote our hotel by telling a story. A drama that would take place in our very hotel and told by none other than my cute cousin-in-law, Fai Fai!"

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
