Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

The smile on Zhang Xiaotong's face didn't fade, nor did her confidence. She stared at her mother and with a shine of assurance, she said, "Ma, you don't have to worry about that project. I will do my best and would not give Dad a reason to complain. But that doesn't mean I can't go to the gathering." 

"Xiaotong, you …" Zhang Qian Lan couldn't believe the attitude of her daughter. From when did she start taking her warning so easily. It was like she was no longer concerned about the consequences that would come after her disobedience. What exactly was she thinking of?

"Ma, I will go to that gathering as that would give me a chance to meet Brother FenFen. As for the project and the meeting with the clients, I could just assure you to believe me." Before the mother could say more, Zhang Xiaotong interrupted to say her part with some firmness. 

The lady Zhang had many things to say but seeing the changed attitude of her daughter was just making her unable to say anything. It was like she was not able to believe the sudden and minute change in her ways. 

While she was still trying to comprehend the story, at her front, Zhang Xiaotong didn't wait. Giving a small call to someone over her phone, she soon turned to leave only to get halted at distance. 

"Are you going somewhere?" With a frown on her brows, Zhang Qian Lan asked when saw her leaving. 

Zhang Xiaotong turned around and nodded. "Yes. I am going to Feng Internationals to meet Brother FenFen." She said so naturally that if Qian Lan has not known from before that she would have really thought that Feng Shufen have long agreed to the romantic relationship with her daughter. 

"Xiaotong, why do you still want to lose face going there? Haven't you already decided to attend the gathering? Wait for it. I will accompany you there and will make sure that you get good treatment from him." 

"Ma, he isn't treating me bad. It's just that Brother FenFen is busy and could not make time for me. But once he would be done, he would surely be able to meet me. And I will be waiting for him till he makes time for me." She said before turning again to walk away. 

Before the mother could say another word to restrict her, she was already in the car, driving away with all cheerfulness. 

"Xiaotong, don't scare momma like this. Seeing you now I am fearing the failure that I never hoped to get." Zhang Qian Lan sighed under her breath as her eyes flashed some hints of worry.

And on the other side, soon Zhang Xiaotong's car arrived at the entrance of the Feng Internationals. Even before they could enter the parking, she asked the driver to stop the car at the company's front entrance. 

"I will get down here. You can go and park the car inside." She said before pushing the door open and stepping out to enter the building. 

Reaching the reception desk, she said with all sweetness. Though her style was arrogant, her eagerness to meet Feng Shufen with new hope was not letting her keep that side at the front. "Help me check if I can have an appointment with your President Feng." 

As the receptionist heard her, she raised her eyes to look at her only to get surprised. Although this wasn't her first time seeing  Zhang Xiaotong coming to the company, there was still something that took her back. 

Her tone! 

Her tone was differently set to appease people around. 

"What happened? Is there a problem?" When saw the receptionist not replying to her, Zhang Xiaotong asked again with a wrinkle of brows. 

And her voice was enough to snap the girl out from her trance. Shaking her head, she immediately said, "Sorry Ma'am, but I don't think that's possible. President Feng is …" 

Before the receptionist could even complete, getting impatient, Zhang Xiaotong said as if she has already been informed about whatever the girl was about to say next. 

"I know, I know. Your President may be very busy. Don't worry, I got a way to not waste his time." She said with a shine in her eyes. "Tell him that I got a business plan to discuss with him. I am sure hearing that he would be willing to see me once." She said with all confidence but her brows once again tug in a frown when saw the reluctance in the expressions of the receptionist. 

She was about to ask again when suddenly a distant voice from behind interrupted her. "Feng Internationals never lack business proposals. And even if the proposal is worthy, it would still be required to be studied by our team first before finally reaching the desk of President Feng." 

Zhang Xiaotong turned only to find the renowned secretary standing at a distance. Though she had never got face to face with Gao Fan, she had studied the people around Feng Shufen enough to know who are important and special to him. And this secretary is one of the precious to the man. 

"Do you know to whom are you talking to?" 

Gao Fan's sturdy face didn't show any hint of expression. Walking to her, he simply said with a very much professional attitude, "With a businesswoman who has come to propose a business proposal." 

Zhang Xiaotong's fists got clenched. Indeed, she has said something about proposing the business plan. But she was not there as a businesswoman. She was there to visit Feng Shufen. How could the secretary dare to insult her like that on her face then? Wasn't he taking himself to be too high and mighty?

"You are just a secretary to Brother FenFen. You don't get a say to say with whom he would get the company business with. Arrange my meeting with him now." She ordered as if her orders were something no one would ever dare to defy. 

Gao Fan stared at her. Even though her tone pricked his nerves, he didn't want to indulge much with her arrogance. To his relief, he was already confident that no matter what happens tomorrow, his President would never have this woman in his life. Neither anyone could force him to have her, nor they have the option. 

"Sorry but as the receptionist has informed, it's not possible.." The secretary informed with a straight face which was perfectly retaliating the arrogance Zhang Xiaotong has displayed.
