CHAPTER 268

At the appointed day, Li Jing met with Kim Fan and this time, unlike the last she was more than prepared for the meeting.

Since she did not have much of a choice and it was one way to prove to the Lin family that she is as deserving as them all for the title of a Lin heir, Li Jing embraced the work with her whole heart, putting her all into it.

"Good morning, Miss Li Jing." Kim Fan greeted immediately he entered her office."

"Good morning, Kim Fan. Thank you for coming, please do have a seat."

"Thank you too." Following her lead, he sat down from opposite her and began a light conversation.

"Pardon me. Let me order for some coffee and light snacks. I believe this meeting is going to be a long one."

"That depends," Kim Fan said with a light smirk on his cheeks.

"On what?" Li Jing wasn't moved by his cuteness. Rather her heart and mind was set on completing this survey for the hotel so she could keep her word to Ye Cheng and return to Star Cross City.

"On a lot of things. Anyways, let us not waste much time bantering about things and get to business immediately."

"Okay, if you say so. Now what is the business plan?" She waited for him to answer while she picked up her telephone and placed a call to her personal assistant.

"Well the business plan is us as in we. We are the plan, you and I. Our thoughts are what is going to make this business a success and that is also why your grandfather put you on the trip. I believe young minds have more potential to think."

"Not particularly bad. But everything has been laid down but all I needed was for you to brief me on how you are going on about it. Do we do the survey together or when we arrive we take a little tour and assign ourselves to specific tasks to look out for?"

"Hmm nice, that way we can cover a lot more grown and can each do an extensive search on it."

"How many people are coming with us on this trip?"

"We were considering a three man team but I suggest a four man team. That way, both company can produce two representatives. One of which would be us, the tentative CEOs and the other would be anyone we pick."

"Great then, I guess I would ask the…" At first, she was so enthusiastic about the whole thing that she completely forgotten she was no longer in Ye Cheng's office of which she had people she could trust and go on this trip with.

Here she had barely known anyone or had time to find a trusted friend. It was now it dawned on her again that she was very much far from Ye Cheng.

"Hey, what is it? Why did you just space out in the middle of a conversation?" Kim Fan's concern had brought her back to reality.

Li Jing managed to form a weak smile at him but she was not yet ready to open up to him.

"It is nothing, I am sorry about that."

"You can talk to me about it you know. This business is important and I need you to be at your best all throughout this business plan and carrying it out.

"Like I said, it is nothing. I should never have spaced out in work especially during an important meeting such as this."

"You are sure/"

Knock!

Li Jing and Kim Fan turned their head towards the door immediately it clicked open. It was her personal assistant. She brought in a tray containing two mugs and a jug of hot coffee, alongside some brown sugar and milk then two small plates of cookies.

She moved over to the little living room and placed the tray of snacks in her hand down then bowed her head politely to the two of thgem before taking her leave.

"Now, shall we?" Li Jing stood up to her feet and waited for him to do so too. Together they moved to the living room area in her office to continue their meeting there from where they stopped.

"Okay, I would take with me, my personal assistant or… No need. I know the perfect person to bring with me on this survey." Li Jing's eye twinkled under the bright light as an idea clicked in her mind.

She had been thinking of someone she trusted in the company and as much as she wanted to try and test her personal assistant's loyalty, she found that this wasn't the work in which to do that. The last thing she wanted was for anyone licking out any information about this work out.

Rather she was going to take someone else, somebody more trustworthy and worth every time. "Okay…" Kim Fan wasn't so sure if he should be happy but seeing as she was happy about whomever she had chosen in her mind, he did not bother further.

"I would come with mine as well then. My vice would be accompanying me for this vacation."

"Sure. You know him better."

"Yeah. You would be happy having him around."

"Alright, that is settled then. Time to move on to the next agenda at hand."

Meanwhile, as Li Jing grew accustomed to her home and new family, some of her relatives were not happy about it and thought to change the look of things.

One of such had refused to travel back to the country she was living and did her little research on Li Jing while she was busy with things.

"Yes, okay. No vital flaw so far in the office?" A feminine voice asked.

"No, ma. I would keep you posted if any flaw is noticed," another feminine voice replied from the other end of the phone.

"Alright, do not forget to do just that and I would keep my end of the bargain from my side."

"Yes ma. Thank you."
