Chapter 489 - Bloom Like A New Leaf.
Li Xue sat in the car, impatiently looking at her watch and then looking out of the window. "Du Fan, how long will it take to reach Glamour World's premises?" She asked, staring at the man in the rear mirror at the front.
"Don't worry, Madam! We are almost there and just two or three minutes away". Du Fan, the driver politely replied. Seeing the hurry written on the face of the lady, he was already speeding the car to the max limit.
Though it was not the first time for Li Xue facing all this in her life, she was still feeling the waves of anxiety as well as excitement she had felt when was 17-years old. Maybe the break for the 5 years again brought her to the same beginning, from where she has started before.
Since she was back to the starting point, she could only try again to bloom like a new leaf. She thought internally with some determination as her eyes beamed with confidence.
Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted when a warm touch came to assure her in her determination. She turned to the side only to find the man's eyes on herself.
"You will do good!" Feng Shufen said and his simple four words were more than enough to provide firmness to her confidence.
Yes, with this man by her side and with him as her aim, she will definitely cross all her hurdles out!
Nodding her head, she was about to confirm her gesture in words when suddenly heard Du Fan say from the front, "Madam, we are at the Glory World's premises. If you say then I would take the car inside".
Du Fan was all known to the things too. So, before taking the car directly inside, he preferred to ask.
"Oh, no, no, Du Fan! I will walk from here. President Feng must also be getting late, so please take him to the office first", she said with a polite gentle smile on her lips as her hands worked to open the door of the car. Once stepped out, she gave a smile to Feng Shufen before turning to the driver to say all gratefully, "Thank you for dropping me here!"
"It was my honour, Madam!" the driver replied.
And Li Xue quickly took her steps to the agency premise inside. She turned to look back once. Though all the windows were winded close and nothing was visible inside, she still knew that man's eyes were still on her. She smiled to let him know that she knew his eyes on her as she again turned to walk inside.
Feng Shufen smiled looking at her that way and when finally, she was out of sight, he said, "Drive to Feng Internationals now!"

Inside, Li Xue stood in front of the tall building. Her eyes squinted at the sight of it as she felt a sense of familiarity with the design. Her curiosity hiked for a moment but the nervousness in her nerves made her push the thoughts back of her head for later consideration.
"Li Xue, don't wander on the wrong topics at the moment. You have to go in to meet your manager first. You are almost late" She said reminding herself about the important work, she was here for and then strutting her way inside.
Reaching the front desk, she quickly asked, "Excuse me, which floor should I get to meet CEO Su?"
"Oh, I am sorry, Ma'am! But do you have an appointment?" The receptionist smiled as she asked. Her tone, all professional and polite. She was still young and looked new to her field so Li Xue assumed her to be someone all unaware of the things.
Nodding her head with equal politeness, Li Xue replied, "Ah, yes, CEO Su has asked me to come here and discuss a few things with him. I am a new assigned model under the banner".
"Oh, I am really sorry, Ma'am! I am a new recruit here and still have not gotten used to many things after the sudden restructuring of our agency. Please give me some time, I will call and confirm the things with CEO Su, then you can go", the young girl said as she quickly picked the receiver to connect the call on the top floor.
The Glamour World was restructured?
Li Xue's brows quirked a little in amusement as she got a little surprised at the fact. Didn't Su Fai set this agency just a few years back? Then what made him restructure the agency again this early? Was this because of some big shot company he was talking about?
"Ma'am, you can go to the twelfth floor. CEO Su is already waiting for you" The young girl from the reception said, interrupting Li Xue out from her thoughts and contemplation.
"Oh okay, thank you! I will go then!" she said before turning to take the elevator up the twelfth floor.
Once reached, she spotted the CEO office right in front and went to knock on the door.
"Come in!" Su Fai's voice came in response to the knock and the woman instantly pushed the door open with a smile on her lips.
"Good morning, CEO Su", Li Xue greeted while her eyes met with the man sitting in the front, behind the big wooden desk and then darted to look at the other person sitting with her back towards her.
With her blonde shoulder-length hair, she was sure that it was a woman and given the fitted attire she was wearing, she could say that the woman does not have a bad body to be in the fashion industry.
Was this some other model under the banner or her …
Before she could even guess the identity of the person, she heard the man say from the front, breaking the ice of silence in the air.
"Li Xue, come inside fast. Don't delay things more. Let me introduce you to your new manager", he said as he stood up gesturing her hands in the introduction of the lady, he has chosen to be the manager. "This is Lin Xinyi!"
Li Xue was smiling until she had not heard that name but the moment she heard, her smile froze as her eyes went to stare at the woman, not believing her ears anymore.
