CHAPTER 79
"You are now, Dream Star Corporation's very own Financial Manager."
Li Jing gulped after he finished speaking. She had initially decided to reject the offer but now, she just signed up for it because her stupid mouth could not resist making her sister feel bad.
"You did not think you could use me and my company like that, did you?"
"No."
"Good. Think of it this way, your sister would not be able to look down on you anymore."
He had a point there. Why was she thinking about this from the wrong point of view? This could be the first step of her rising up and she would be one step closer to reaching her goal and making her family pay for all they did to her.
'This is a rare opportunity Li Jing. Brace it, accept it. Duan Tian, Li Xiu, watch out, my revenge has only just begun.'
"Okay."
"Great, you would resume work tomorrow. I would send someone to pick you up to work."
"Alright. Oh wait!"
SCREECH!
The driver pulled the car to a stop and parked it at the side of the road.
"What is it?" Ye Cheng asked with a face full of concern after everyone had regained themselves from the sudden stop they had.
"I forgot to buy a gift for Yin Lifen's grandmother."

'Is she serious right now? Did she just make us stop because of that? Oh Li Jing!'
Ye Cheng could not understand how this girl's mind functioned at times. Still, he was happy with the new things he discovered about her each day.
"Way ahead of you. While you were busy fighting it out with your sister, I picked a gift for her. It is on the front seat."

Li Jing followed the line of his sight and shifted out of her seat a bit to see the gift at the front. A white shopping bag sat atop the passenger's seat in front.
She was itching to peep and see what he got, but her mind kicked against it and she settled back down.
"Oh, sorry about the shock," she apologized to the driver and relaxed. "Thanks so much, Ye Cheng."
"You are welcome."
The driver resumed his drive and took them to Yin Lifen's house, where Li Jing highlighted and they left.
Yin Lifen was shocked when a maid came over and told her that a friend of hers was there to see her.
At first she wasn't expecting anything or anyone and was confused about who would decide to pay her a visit.
"Okay. Thank you. I would be down in two."
"Yes, ma." The maid took her leave and left Yin Lifen to prepare.
She took a change of clothes and headed downstairs to see who it was. What a shock she got when her eyes landed on the visitor.
"Li Jing!"
"Hello, Fenfen."
A bright smile appeared on Li Jing's face as she was glad her surprised worked.
Mainly looking at Yin Lifen's shocked expression was enough reason to make her charming smile come out.
"Don't I get a hug for being the world's best friend?"
"No, you don't."
At her words, Li Jing's smile dropped. "You get a hug for being the world's best sister," Yin Lifen quickly added when she saw her friend's sullen expression.
"Naughty girl, you just wanted to get back at me, didn't you?"
"You know me. Come here."
Yin Lifen closed the space between them and pulled her friend up for a hug, giving her the best teddy bear hug she could give her.

"Thank you so much for coming."
"Anytime."
Both girls had a nice time hanging out with each other and Li Jing got to see Yin Lifen's grandmother this time and handed her the gift Ye Cheng bought her.
When it was getting late, Yin Lifen asked one of their drivers to drop Li Jing off at her place against all the pleas of her friend that she would be okay.
"Nonsense. I cannot leave grandma alone, if not, I would have gone to personally drop you. It is already late, just be a dear and not be stubborn, okay?"
"Fine, momma."
"Yes, my child. Be good. See you some other time."
They bade each other goodbye and she left with the driver.
***
By the next morning, she got dressed up and set for her first day of work at Dream Star Corporations.
All she was waiting for the person Ye Cheng will send to pick her up.
Ring!
Her phone screen lit up, followed by her ringtone, indicating she had a call. Quickly she answered the phone and greeted.
"Good morning."
"Good morning. Are you ready?"
"Yes."
"Okay, come downstairs, car is already waiting for you."
"Alright."
In less than two minutes she was out of the building and walked towards the black jeep packed outside with a man dressed in a formal suit standing next to it.
Immediately he saw her, he moved to the passenger's seat and opened the door for her to go in.
"Thank you."
From outside the car, she could not see what or who was inside due to the tint, so when the door was opened and she entered, she was shocked to see who was sitting there.
"Hello. Get in or we would be late." His calm and deep authoritative voice broke her out of her stupor.
"Ye Cheng?"
"Where you expecting someone else?"
Li Jing shook her head before getting into the car and the door was shut after her.
She had got to admit, when he said he would be sending someone to pick her up, she never expected him to be the person.
His eyes scanned her from head to toe where she sat and he gave her a nod. He was satisfied with her outfit. It was one of the clothes he sent over to her.
'Not bad, she has a nice taste in clothes.' Ye Cheng mentally noted before he diverted his gaze to the driver in the front.
"Drive."
"Yes, sir."

He said softly. I examined them, seeing how some had some white parts and some were free of the black specks."I like these a lot." He smiled. He brought one to my lips and I bit into it. It was very different from the others. Much less sweet."These ones match your eyes, don't they? Your pretty green eyes." He said to me, wiping away more of my tears while I was too distracted by the explosion of flavour in my mouth.I rubbed my irritated eyes and he fed me another kiwi slice. It tasted good but it made my body shiver a little from the little sting it had in its taste."Is it too sour? Sorry about that." He chuckled, gently raking his fingers through my hair as I relaxed a little.I wanted more. I liked kiwi."You want more?" He asked me.I looked at the kiwi and then at him. He really, really wanted me to talk. He fed me the rest of the kiwi pieces even though he hadn't gotten an answer from me and then he smiled."All done." He said to me, brushing my hair away from my face with a smile.
