Chapter 8
She Must Marry Him
At that moment, Zuo Yi Yi walks over to her before looking at her haughtily, "Zhuang Nai Nai, I advise you to know your own place. Di Hao Group is not a place where a stray cat like you can simply enter."
After ridiculing her, she rushes forward, "Ting gege, is your meeting over? Let's have lunch together. I know about a new French restaurant that has just been opened in Xi Zhi Men……"
Zhuang Nai Nai looks in front; at Si Zheng Ting who is surrounded by so many people, like a moon surrounded by stars. He soon disappears from sight.
Zuo Yi Yi who was trying to keep up with him, looks so compatible with him.
Zhuang Nai Nai wants to follow them, but two expressionless men block her. "Miss Zhuang, please give us your cooperation."
Zhuang Nai Nai fists her hand; she finally sees the distance between him and her. A feeling of uneasiness runs rampant in her heart.
She realizes that if Si Zheng Ting strengthen his will to not see her, she will have no way to get near him.
What should she do?
What should she do?
She stands there, clueless as to what to do. Just then, she spots the little secretary walking out of the meeting room while carrying a coffee mug. The milk inside is still full.
Zhuang Nai Nai freezes a little, a feeling of lost conquering her heart.
So many years have passed and Si Zheng Ting has never brought up the matter of breaking his engagement with the Gu Family's daughter; but now that she has returned, he has changed considerably.
He must be unwilling to marry her!
But, she must marry him.
If she managed to catch him 5 years ago, she certainly can do so now! Thinking of that, Zhuang Nai Nai regains her fighting spirit.
Zhuang Nai Nai, jiayou!

In the top floor of Di Hao Group's headquarters, the president's office is covered with floor-to-ceiling windows on all three sides. The entire room is bright, full of luxurious furnitures and decorations.
Si Zheng Ting sits on his seat, lowering his head while expressionlessly reading a report.
The air inside the office is stifling.
His assistant stands near him, not daring to even take an audible breath.
Zuo Yi Yi eyes Si Zheng Ting's expression. Her cold, haughty face actually looks a little timid and careful at the moment. She tries to probe, "Ting gege, was Zhuang Nai Nai telling the truth?"
As her words fall, Si Zheng Ting looks up, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.
Zuo Yi Yi immediately closes her mouth. After a while, she regains her courage to speak, "Ting gege, you haven't answer me. Do you want to go to that French restaurant in Xi Zhi Men with me?"
Si Zheng Ting pauses for a while, "Which room?"
Zuo Yi Yi excitedly answers him, "Room VIP 999. Then, I'll be waiting for you there!"
The assistant opens his mouth as he looks at the silhouette of Zuo Yi Yi who is happily walking away, "Sir, do you want me to cancel your lunch appointment with Boss Huang? Should I reschedule it to tonight? Or tomorrow, perhaps?"
"No need."
The assistant is shocked, "But you promised Miss Zuo just now…"
The assistant suddenly understands everything; Mr. Si only asks about the room, he didn't say that he will go.
He is basically going to stood her up.
Seems like Miss Zuo is going to cry again.
The assistant lowers his eyes, secretly sighing; He can offend anyone but he must never offend Mr. Si. His heart smaller than the tip of a needle.
——-
Zhuang Nai Nai is 'escorted' out of Di Hao Building.
The two bodyguards are standing on each sides of the entrance, denying her entry.
Zhuang Nai Nai stands a distance away, eyeing the door while sighing. She just made things even more complicated.
She could at least meet him before. But now……
Chapter 9
Why Does Mr. Si has No Female Companion?
Half an hour later, Zuo Yi Yi walks out of the building in a brisk pace. Seeing Zhuang Nai Nai, her face changes. She approaches Zhuang Nai Nai unhappily, "Why are you still here? You better leave! Ting gege would never be with you!"
Thinking about earlier, she got banned from entering the building because of the war of words she had with her. Zhuang Nai Nai purses her lips and moves aside, giving way.
What Zuo Yi Yi hates the most is this completely blasé look on Zhuang Nai Nai's face. She fiercely scolds her, "Zhuang Nai Nai, Ting gege will go on a date with me later. I am warning you, do not latch onto him or else, I will not be courteous anymore!"
After leaving that fierce parting words, she angrily walks away. The date is around one hour from now; she will have to inform the restaurant to cook some of her Ting gege's favourite meals.
Zhuang Nai Nai frowns as she watches Zuo Yi Yi's car that is quickly leaving the area. A feeling of distress emerges in her heart. Zuo Yi Yi is the heiress of Zhong Tian, a coal company. Even though Zhong Tian cannot be compared to Di Hao, it is still ranked amongst one of the top 50 top company in Asia.
Zuo Yi Yi has liked Si Zheng Ting ever since she was young. She has been chasing after him for more than 10 years.
The two of them can be considered as childhood sweethearts; they fit each other so well.
Giant companies usually likes arranged marrriages…. If she doesn't hold onto him tight, they might really get together!
Zhuang Nai Nai sits inside a coffee shop in front of Di Hao's headquarters. She waits for almost an hour when she finally sees Si Zheng Ting's figure coming out.
She hastily stands up and hails a cab in front of the café. She points at the Mayback in front while saying, "Shifu, please follow that car. You must follow that car, don't lose it!"
(TN: They usually call older men shifu; esp those who are skilled in their works. That does not mean he is her teacher.)
The driver is a very candid person. He laughs, "Little miss is underestimating me. Even though my car is nothing compared to that car, the traffic in Beijing is really bad. That car cannot go really far."
Just like what the driver said, the taxi manage to follow the Maybach closely from behind.
In the end, the Maybach stops in front of a bar called, 'Wu Guang Shi Se' instead of a French restaurant.
Zhuang Nai Nai sighs in relief. Si Zheng Ting has known Zuo Yi Yi for more than ten years. If he really like her, he wouldn't wait this long to get together with her.
'Wu Guang Shi Se' is a high-end entertainment center, regular people cannot enter the place. She manages to enter the premise after calling Gu De Shou and asking for the membership number from him.
After trailing after him, she discovers the room that Si Zheng Ting is using. His bodyguards are keeping guard in front of the room. There is no way for her to even approach the room.
Zhuang Nai Nai scratches her chin; what should she do?
——
The decoration is luxurious inside the room. The ceiling is very high and the room is very big.
Si Zheng Ting sits on the leather sofa, with him in the very center. There are young men and women around him, all dressed impeccably.
They all brought their own female companion, chatting and laughing happily.
Once in a while, someone will joke with Si Zheng Ting and he will nod and reply them. It is clear that their relationship is really good.
Boss Huang narrows his eyes while entertaining these group of young heirs and heiresses. There is the lone figure of Si Zheng Ting amidst the merry air of the room. As he clutches a glass of red wine, he turns to Su Yan Bin who is next to him and whispers, "Why doesn't Mr. Si bring a female companion with him?"
