Love Me Harder, Mr. Fu - Chapter 103

At night, around 10 p.m

Just as they planned, she is going to execute it now. Cai Li reaches outside the hotel building. Wearing clothes that showcase that she is going to do some trouble, she walks inside. She isn’t sure about the plan nor about herself if she can pull this off. Her father ordered her to do this but if some mishap happens, she will be the one who will the bad guy. Brushing those thoughts, she inhales in to gain some confidence and moves to where she and the others were practicing earlier. She isn’t sure how her father manages to get the room card and keys but she is impressed by his smooth work. She tries to straightly go to the hall but the receptionist stops her. “Ma’am, may I know your room number?” the young man asks with a professional smile.

She hesitates for a moment but she had to go there of she wants the plan to work. Putting on a fake smile, she walks up to the reception area. “You must have forgotten me. I was here earlier. The Mo corp people?” she tries to act modestly.

The ma thinks for a moment but he cannot recall her. “Sorry ma’am but I cannot remember you. You were with Miss Shi Lian?” he asks again to make sure she is talking about her.

Every time her name pops her, her jealousy rate increases. Gritting her teeth, she says, “Yes. I was with her. Actually I forgot my belongings up there and it’s very important.”

He is confused about whether to send her or not. “Let me confirm it with my manager” saying, he goes to find his manager. Cai Li waits and the panic rises. Her confidence level is decreasing and she doesn’t know what to do and what not to.

After five minutes, the man comes with the manager. Both their nameplates gleam as the light focuses on them. The manager smiles and asks her, “Any problem here Miss?”

“I need to fetch my things which I left up in the hall. It’s important so I was asking if I can go in” she says.

“Yes, you can,” he says, “But do you have the room card? We only provided two cards- one to Miss Shi Lian and the other to Miss Ruxi.”

“Don’t bother about that. I have the room card. Shi Lian gave it to me” she lies. The manager studies the card and nods agreeing. He allows her to go inside and do not ask any further questions.

Stepping inside the elevator, she punches on the floor number. The door closes and the elevator car lifts. She puts the room card number inside her handbag smirking to herself.

How does her father manage to get the card? It’s the question she needs to ask him when she reaches home. The thought of destroying Shi Lian and humiliating her is too good and Cai Li can imagine Shi Lian begging her and crying her eyes out. The haughtiness she wears is the most annoying and seeing her fall to the ground in an instance is her dream come true.

The door opens and steps out of the elevator. People roam around the corridors, all dressed in formal and luxurious clothes. She makes her way to the hall, gripping on her sling handbag.

She is aware of the CCTV cameras here and her father told her he will deal with them on his own and she does not need to worry. She is nervous because she has never done anything like this before; to stop herself from being nervous she bites her nails as a habit of hers.

Cai Li cautiously looks to her side while she unlocks the door. Her father told her he will handle those cameras so she should stop worrying about them. But she cannot make herself stop from glancing at them from time to time. The door unlocks and she heads inside, giving a last glance outside. Everything inside the hall was the same as they have left.

Cai Li’s heart starts beating faster as she approaches around the quiet hall. The stage is decorated beautifully with lightning on its edges. She straightly goes to where the design team was working earlier. As far as she knows, they must have left everything here so it will be easier for tomorrow. To the right corner of the hall, she opens the door and steps inside. Turning on the lights, the room lights up. The dresses are all carefully placed on the mannequins and they appear regal and so beautiful. She has to admit that these designs are one of the best she has ever seen and she was furious when she got to know it was Shi Lian who made them.

Her phone beeps making her startle. A quiet room like this, with no one but her, makes her a little frightened. She checks her phone to see her father’s message. Have you reached?

Cai Li type back, Yes.

She turns off her phone and goes to stand in front o dress no.1. The beautiful peacock pattern gown is so good to touch and she feels guilty for a second to even ruin it. Cai Li loves fashion and she is a little protective when it comes to that. But then she reminds herself that it is made by Shi Lian, the one whom she despises. The anger returns and she is now ready to perform her act.

The next day,

Shi Lian is nervous and excited at the same time. She is excited because for the first time her designs will be launching and millions and trillions of people are going to watch. She reaches the company early and she told the others to reach early as well. She cannot make mistakes. Ruxi and the desig team are already present when she reached the company. They smile seeing Shi Lian approach. The models are supposed to come directly to the hotel, half an hour from now.

“Where are the others?” Shi Lian asks Ruxi.

“JJ is on his way and the PR department is supposed to directly meet us at the hotel.” She informs her. Today, Ruxi has selected one of her favorite and expensive skirts that she wore only once before. The company is quiet because there is no one except them and for the first time it feels odd to see the company so quiet.

“The dresses?” Shi Lian confirms.

“Prepared and ready” Kexin answers, the pearl necklace is prominent on her neck. Shi Lian nods, shoving her hands inside the pockets of her jumpsuit. The shareholders and all the important figurines are going to show up there as well. The media and reporters are informed as well. The live broadcast will be viral all over China.

She has waited too long and worked too hard for this day. It all depends on today. Today it will be decided whether the company is bound to fall or rise to become the top company as it was before.

There is some work for her to do so she needs to go to her office for that. She tells Ruxi to check everything that’s left here. Nodding, she goes to her office.

She is still thinking about what her uncle and her cousin must have planned. If they do some problem today, she does not know how to defend them. Although she has thought of the possibilities that may happen and also prepare solutions for that, she still she is accustomed to her uncle’s thinking.

Shi Lian sighs and tries to finish the work fastly without thinking much about it.

After she is done with her work, she heads down. Everyone is present when she reaches along with JJ, who is chatting with Ruxi. Sometimes, he looks like Ruxi’s younger brother and sometimes her boyfriend. JJ gazes at her and she immediately brushes the thoughts from her mind. “Glad you make it,” Shi Lian says.

“At your service” he smirks and reaches for a handshake. She accepts with a smile and gives a firm handshake. “Alright then, shall we leave?” he asks.

“Yes, it’s almost time,” she says. Everyone is ready with their things with them and looking at them she gestures to leave. Shi Lian will be going in her car and Ruxi and the others will be leaving in the other.

Everyone reaches the hotel at the same. Parking their cars in the parking lot, they step out from the car and head inside the hotel. Today the hotel is going to get crowded and the manager was overwhelmed that Shi Lian decided to do this in his hotel. The guards welcome them and the same does the receptionist/. The manager appears and spotting Shi Lian his eyes lit up and hurries to greet her.

“Welcome miss Shi Lian. Good morning” he greets with utmost professionalism.

“Good morning to you as well” she smiles. The manager is more concerned with the profit the hotel is going to make today more than the Mo corp working here.

The others wait behind her as she talks with the manager. After the manager spares her, she tells them to head straight to the hall and start their work. Ruxi informs that the models will be reaching shortly by now so as the PR department.
