Chapter 388 – It Must Definitely Be Her!
"There are no other orders. You can leave", Feng Shufen said gruffly as his eyes went back to look into the files he was handling before. Both Gao Fan and Qi Shuai were taken aback by his words. That was definitely not his nature. The Devil in the man was so prominent that in no way they could believe that it was not seeking revenge for his woman's insults.
Gao Fan nodded with some daze as then seeking polite permission, strolled out from the cabin leaving the Director and the President alone.
"Hey, Shufen! What's with you? Are you really not going to do anything regarding this?" Qi Shuai asked, still not believing the facts as real.
Without lifting his head to look at him, Shufen asked, "What? Is there any problem?" His tone was all disinterested and rough as he closed the file in his hand.
Pointing his fingers at him, Qi Shuai started, "What's not wrong in your attitude. Your calm side is so scary. I can literally feel the chills now. See here, I am already getting goosebumps. Come on, tell me, what is this easy-going attitude for? Did something happen? And why are you in this dark mode today?"
"Looks like the Director of Feng Internationals has got good free time to use on extra productivity. Great! I will help you utilize it!" Feng Shufen said as he moved his fingers swiftly on the laptop. "I have mailed you some data. Help the trainees in sorting this out and also you will be giving a lecture to the new recruits later in the late afternoon. So, prepare yourself with it. If you still remain with some leisure time, I will let Gao Fan …"
Before he could even complete his words, Qi Shuai already pulled his hands up in surrender. "I give up. Can you please for once not be so merciless to me. I am still your friend who always gives his best to help you. Can't you consider with care and concern".
Feng Shufen lifted his eyes to look at him and Qi Shuai thought that maybe he had made the perfect goal this time but just as he was about to hear the celebratory tone, the tone of indifference rang in his ears. "If you got your lessons then I won't mind you starting it right away!".
"You … You … you are truly an inconsiderate bast*rd!" Qi Shuai yelled in a disgruntled tenor and left the room. Though he did not come to know what his friend's mood swings were for, he still had an inkling that it was related to Li Xue or who else has the power and privilege to take away Devil's treasured calmness and still remain all unharmed from him. It must definitely be her!

On the other side, in the main mansion of Feng Household,
"Oh, not at all, Mrs Zhang. I can understand your pain, after all, I am suffering from the same. I have three kids but none of them cares to live with us. They are all so busy in their businesses that getting them back at the place is like seeing the rarest moon in the sky. Haha …" melodic laughter of the woman rang in the room as she made her way to take the seat beside the man on the sofa.
"Yes, yes, sure. When did the relationship of our families require frequent phone calls? We know each other too well to understand all this", the woman said again. Her words, all matching to the lady who was used to butter up aged long friends to keep them all fixed to the good sides. "How is Zhang Xiaotong? She must have turned a lot beautiful now. I can still remember what a good heart pleaser she was in her childhood".
As she said, her eyes went to shine looking at her husband Feng Yu Hao with some meaning, who only kept his nonchalant face intact at the magazine he was reading.
Zhen Qinrou smile deepened when she heard something from the other side of the call. "You don't have to think too much about it, Madam Zhang. Though you have long shifted overseas, you still have us as a family here. Zhang Xiaotong is like one of us and will always remain like that". Giving out yet again soft laughter, she added her words of assurance before disconnecting the call at a good note.
Then looking at her husband she said, "Yu Hao, it was Mrs Zhang on the call. It was really a long time since she last called, but look she was yet all the same. She was asking about you too".
The man merely nodded to her words as he flipped pages of the magazine he was reading. Looking at him like this, the woman plainly pressed her lips, as she took the magazine away from his hands. "Yu Hao, I am still talking to you and you are busy with this book. Is this book more important than your wife?"
Feng Yu Hao looked at his wife and could only give out a peal of small laughter, "Even after so many years, do you still have to ask that? Okay fine, tell me what were you saying?" The man said as he pulled out his buttoned blazer properly to turn to look at his beautiful woman.
Zhen Qinrou sighed at his words and she said, "And yet after so many years, you still say the same thing without giving any proper valid answer to my question. Sigh, it seems like the answer on your lips is all different from what you have in your heart".
"Qinrou, what are you saying? I was just …" he started but the woman interrupted him with the softest smile of hers.
"It's fine, Yu Hao. I know and I understand. Sorry, I brought that again. Leave all that. What I was telling is Mrs Zhang has called me. She was still all the same. She has asked about your health and I have said that you are all fine under my strict care"
"Hmm … that's great. It's good to keep them in touch. You did good" Feng Yu Hao appreciated but that was not the only thing the woman was planning to say and he could see that in her eyes full of exuberance. "What more?"
The woman smiled and excitedly added, "Darling, do you still remember Zhang Xiaotong, the lovely cheerful daughter of theirs?".
