Chapter 47 - Some Empress's Arrival
Chapter 47 – Some Empress’s Arrival
Gao Fan was here to deliver the file mentioned earlier, to Li Xue.
"Ms. Li Xue! President Feng has sent this file for your reference. It has all the details of the European client's preferences", he said as he extended the files to the lady.
Li Xue took the file and said in a very appreciative polite tone, "Thank You for making so much effort. I will look into it before starting and will try my best to not disappoint President".
The man nodded and then after giving some thought inside his sharp brain, he bent to give a short bow and left quickly. Mia, who has witnessed everything in front could not stop her hand from getting flung over her mouth getting all shocked.
She looked at the woman standing beside her, all unfazed with the action that has just taken place around her as a focal point. Like she has been long immune to such actions. Her nonchalance behavior at a situation like this was forming a majestic halo light effect behind her, giving the young girl in front of her, an urge to follow and worship her.
"Li Xue, tell me honestly. Do you and President Feng are close to each other?" she asked with her dreamy eyes.
The woman was all concentrated on the file which she had got moments before. When she heard the girls say that, she simply shook her head in disapproval. She was honest, she does not know President Feng even if he was her neighbor or an older brother to her best friend Feng Yi Lan.
"Are you sureeee?" Mia asked again stressing her strength on her last word to get some attention from the woman who has not paid any attention to her surroundings.
Feng International's Unbreakable Sword has just bowed his head in front of her! How can she be so calm and composed to such a gesture? It will only not affect her when she is all accustomed to such treatment around her.
So did that mean she has always been receiving such lavish treatment? Was she that closely associated with the boss, Feng Shufen?
Li Xue did not catch the expression on Mia's face as she was all focused on the work that has been given to her. So she also did not mind giving any response to the last words asked by the young girl. "Okay let's focus on our work now. Or we will be late to serve the guests"
She wrapped her arms around her shoulders and took her inside the kitchen canteen. Since the girl has worded out to stake her dream and career for her, from that moment onwards Li Xue has started taking her as some person for whom she was responsible for.

Back in the President's office at the top floor, Feng Shufen has got back to his work all focused. It seemed like till the woman was somewhere near to him; he could have all his concentration with himself. That has become some of his habits which has dominated all his tough habits from before.
It has only been a day since he has known her and she has got such an effect on him. An effect where he doubts that her words and expressions can easily influence him.
He was in the midst of his work when suddenly his personal secretary came knocking the door. "President Feng, I have delivered the requested file to Ms. Li Xue. Is there any more orders for me"
The man simply shook his head while still looking into his files. Gao Fan hesitated for some moment but then voiced out his opinion, "That President, I had some curiosity. If it does not offend you, can I ask?"
Hearing his secretary raising his questions for the first time, Feng Shufen raised his head up to look at him and then nodded. No words, just a simple action and man knew that he did not have to show hesitation anymore, since he has got the permission.
"President, it's not like I am doubting your judgement regarding Ms. Li Xue, but what if she fails to pass this test? Will she have to leave her job and move out from Sweet Delicacy? She has just got her promotions and her previous manager has praised her a lot, even the customer feedback, back at that small town was very good" he raised the question that was giving him the tremor from the moment he has come to find that she was some woman in which his President has started to take some liking.
His words made the man ponder on it. He has not given any thought to this angle of the story. Maybe he really has high beliefs when it comes to that particular woman. Though he has yet to know her skills but still he believes her like he believes himself.
"Umm I haven't given thought to that. But there is no way she would be leaving us. So you don't have to put much brain into it", he said and then went back to look into the files. At the side Gao Fan was struck at his words. His President has belief in someone to such extent.
"Now you can go and check the arrangements made for the welcome of the European guest. I want a perfect environment built around when the desserts get served on the table. Nothing should be out of the round, make sure of it"
The secretary nodded and left the office. He can't raise his suspicion on this but it felt like this whole occasion was set just to welcome Ms. Li Xue back to the city and Feng Internationals. Why is it getting so complex for him to guess the moods and thoughts of the President? Did his brain quit the understanding skills he has developed for all these years around the President? Or was Ms. Li Xue's skills have been better than she has easily eased her way inside his Boss's heart like no one has ever done?
Soon the time passed by and nothing good happened at the floor where the employees were still anticipating the arrival of their assumed Lady Boss. They had no idea that the real woman had already come many hours before.
"Hey where are the collaboration agreement papers. I have to take a review on it again, so that nothing goes wrong"
"I have seen it on the table next to you. Check it there once"
"Ahh we are already running out of time, where should I search it again?"
The employees were all busy scrambling around to make the things get to its perfection. The office has usually been quiet, only a few whispers of gossip here and there, but now it was in such a chaos like it was preparing for some Empress's arrival.
Just at that moment, someone came rushing in with a piece of information that halted everyone in their work. "Hey everyone! The European clients are here and the lady boss has also come with them. She is really a goddess in beauty and elegance even when she carries herself in such formal business attire"
That was enough description to make all of them anticipate the woman's looks and style. They wanted to rush forward to take a look at her but they can't get out of their work ethics and discipline. So they can just endure the curiosity in their hearts.
