Chapter 918 – Did You Mention Elvis?
On the call, Xiao Meng was relieved. "Ahh, I am saved, Sister Xue. Thank you for saving me. As for informing Sister Xinyi, I would do it when I would get to talk to her later. For now, disturbing her would not be good." She said and with her words, Li Xue felt a bit odd.
Furrowing her brows, she asked, "Huh? Is something wrong with Sister Xinyi?"
"Ah, there is nothing serious, Sister Xue. Yesterday, Sister Xinyi wasn't feeling well so she left early and today as well she has not come. So, I thought not to disturb her until it's something very important." Xiao Meng explained and Li Xue nodded with understanding.
"It's good. Don't disturb her then. As for CEO Su, you don't have to meddle. I will call him myself to ask. You focus on the work on behalf of Sister Xinyi. I am sure when she returns after her rest, she will praise you for your good work. And yes, in our absence, stay low profile. Neither bully anyone, nor get bullied. Remember, we are not around so you would be at a loss."
Li Xue said and from the other side of the call, heard the soft chuckle of the girl. "Haha … I will keep myself in strict check, Sister Xue. Don't worry." Saying that the call was disconnected and Li Xue returned back to her plate.
"Mr. Beelzebub, sometimes I feel like you have a magic wand that's effective on every sort of problem. How was it so easy for you to prepare a dress for the evening this soon?" Though Li Xue knew that she was silly to ask that, still she couldn't help for the moment. Looking like she was staring at some heavenly angel, she repeated, "How was it so easy for you?"
Feng Shufen glanced her way and feeling proud from her expressions, he simply said, "Previous year, while I was out for some business trip, I met Elvis at some party. So, it was easy."
Elvis!
Hearing that name, Li Xue choked on her food. Coughing harshly, she looked at the man as if she couldn't believe him. Her face flushed red as her coughing continued. Looking at her mother like that, WeiWei panicked. Getting on the chair she was sitting on, she was ready to reach her mother but paused when saw her Daddy Angel already forwarding her the glass of water.
"Mama, drink some water first. You shouldn't talk while having food or you would choke." She said with concern, and taking slow sips of water, Li Xue looked at her and nodded.
"I am sorry, sweetie. I didn't mean to. But this is something urgent, give me a moment." She briefly explained to her daughter before turning to look at the man to complete asking him the rest. "Mr. Beelzebub, who did you mention? Why does it feel like I have heard you say the name of Elvis?"
Feng Shufen nodded. "Yes, I mentioned him. Do you not like his designs?" He asked and his question left Li Xue speechless.
Mr. Beelzebub, do you think I hold the position to criticize the designs of Elvis? Like his designs? Who would dare to hate them?

On the other side,
Though it was just the beginning of the day, Liu Hua has got herself all occupied with the arrangements. Looking at her none would ever doubt to ask if it was her daughter's engagement or not. Just a look at her excitement was enough to let everyone understand.
While helping her in the preparations, Da-Xia was also around. Like asked, she wasn't able to hype up the news of Zheng wenting and Wen Sying's engagement so she has got herself busy with the arrangements so that she gets fewer chances to see Wen Sying and hear her make impossible demands.
Otherwise who else would ever think that in front of Feng Shufen there could be any other news that could get a chance to pique anyone's interest?
"Da-Xia, did the florist arrange the orchids I have asked for?" After ordering a few more staff for their work, Liu Hua turned to ask the manager with a furrow of brows.
Looking at the woman, the manager smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, Madam Li. It's all done. They would be sending the orchids for decoration soon. We still have time."
Liu Hua nodded. "Mhm. That's good. Today, it's a big day for Sying and I want everything perfect." She said and again turned to look over things, walking around. But her walk came to a pause when suddenly she remembered something.
Turning back, she halted the halfway turned manager to ask once more, "By the way, Da-Xia what happened to the news segment Sying was expecting. It was up in the news yesterday, but after the mid-afternoon, it was nowhere to be seen. Is it not working now?"
The assistant felt at loss again. Yesterday, it was Sying and now again it was this woman. Was it that hard for them to understand?
Pressing her lips in a smile, she tried to maintain her calm to say, "Umm though we haven't expected the news to die out of headlines so easily, unfortunately, due to some unforeseen changes it had happened. And now there is nothing we can do. As in no way could we change the wave of the news regarding the President of Feng Internationals, Feng Shufen."
Liu Hua heard her say that and rubbed her chin. Looking at her, it could be said that she was not unfamiliar with the news. She has just asked the manager to begin the topic.
"Why do you have to change the wave, when you could capture greater benefits from it?" She said and Da-Xia quite didn't understand her meaning.
Looking at her confused, the woman smiled and directed more briefly, "I heard Li Xue is getting mentioned in that news as well, and the netizens are quite excited to know if all that news is right or not. Let them know that she would be coming here later to the engagement party. I am sure this would compel them to shoot up the news and the coverage of Sying's engagement."
That's what called, 'Shooting the shot while keeping the rifle on someone else's shoulder.'
Da-Xia could not help but nod. This woman was really cunning. She never thought something like this was also possible.. If things went wrong, none would blame them, rather everything would be pushed on the shoulders of Li Xue.
