Chapter 159: Our new office

"You look, uhm," Chi Wei looked at her from head to toe and tilted his head to find the right word to describe his sister’s appearance. "You look....did you get any sleep right night?" He gave up on describing her appearance and settled on asking the question which was on everyone’s mind.

But how could Chi Lian have a proper response? All night long she had tossed and turned, sleepless from the thought of the possibility that Mei-Mei could be her biological daughter and she could have another child out there.

Maybe remnants of the old Chi Lian were still active in her body somehow. Perhaps that could explain why she chose to adopt the little one in an instant as if she had been driven by instinct. Maybe that’s why she loved the little one so much that she would kill and do anything in the world for her. Perhaps Chi Lian’s soul recognized her blood.

T4 had not helped the situation, he kept asking what she would do if her suspicions were correct and the doctor did sell her eggs. Would she look for the other children if they existed? And what would she do if she found the child or children? Could she even legally claim such a child?

How would she even explain the situation to the Jun family if Muyang chose to stand by her?

It had been a long sleepless night for her. One filled with echoes of imaginary babies that were calling her mummy every time she closed her eyes .

And that brought her to the morning today. She had bugs under her eyes and she was plenty grouchy, like an old man who hated the world and everything. She was by all means in quite a pickle.

"Don’t say another word about it." She told her brother. She did not want to think or explain her situation to him. "Let’s just cut the stupid ribbon and get it over with."

The ribbon she was referring to was the shiny red ribbon tied to the doors of the new Phoenix building. All three companies were officially moving in today. Originally they were going to have a big celebration but with everything weighing on her mind, she decided not to do it. Her parents were reluctant about her decision so they decided to tie a ribbon around the doors and have the three siblings who represented each company cut it in front of the employees.

"Whoa, someone has got her panties in a twist so early in the morning." Chi Zimo inserted himself physically between them.

"Why are you here, shouldn’t you be registering for school?" she grumpily asked.

"And miss the big celebration, no way." He rebutted.

"There is no celebration, she cancelled it." Chi Wei pointed at Chi Lian.

"But there is cake." Chi Zimo responded sonorously in a sing song tone when he said ’cake.’

Chi Wei sneered and shook his head. "Of course the glutton is here to eat." he mumbled. Chi Zimo and food were best friends. In every situation as long as it was possible he had something to eat in his hands. And it was always mostly junk food or desserts and pastries. He was lucky that his body was somehow allergic to fat retention otherwise he would be as fat as a healthy pig by now. To be honest, his siblings were bitterly jealous of him because of it. They worked out hard in the gym and ate mostly healthy food to keep in good shape but Chi Zimo who did none of the two skirted by easily. It was not fair.

"Come on everyone, let’s count down from five." Mama Chi joyfully gathered the employees. When they reached one, the three siblings cut the ribbon amidst a handful of cheers from the crowd. The building was officially opened and carefully, everyone stepped inside to get their look at their new work place.

"Wow, it’s so big." A female employee screamed.

"Oh, everyone is going to be so jealous of us. Let’s take pictures." Her workmate said.

The new phoenix building was indeed swoon worthy; it was thirty stories tall, with a private parking space and ample size. There was also a private compound at the back where employees could rest or work from outside. It would be convenient for outdoor shootings.

Phoenix media had occupied the top ten floors, phoenix entertainment took the six floors below and phoenix toys took six floors below them. The ground floor was reserved for a joint reception, the kitchen and pastry shop which she wanted the big chef to operate.

The rest of the floors would be assigned accordingly. She intended to remodel two of the floors and turn them into private apartments for the celebrities if they needed the rooms. Her team which she was recruiting would be using the building as its base for now. She was going to label those two private floors as Phoenix technology so that no one except for her family would go snooping in.

She also planned to open a spa and two lounges on one of the floors. These facilities were necessary for the celebrities her brother groomed.

To prepare all this, Wenli had already moved to the capital the day she decided to move and together with a decorating team, effort to turn the building into her dream work place started. For now, she knew that the spa was ready and the lounges needed two days. The apartments would take at least one more week. She was considering setting up a mini supermarket in the building so that they would be self-sufficient but it was still an idea, she had not yet decided to go through with it.

She would make sure that working in any of the phoenix companies was a dream come true for all her employees. In five years, the phoenix group of companies would be one of the top companies in the empire.

"Chi-Chi, we will see you later." her parents bade her goodbye and each of them went to their assigned floors.

She realized that she had been standing in one place gazing at the elevators for around five minutes. Most people were already being assigned desks, offices and tasks by their superiors. As people walked by her, they bowed and smiled politely. There was a lot to do today; she had no time to dilly dally.

"Wenli, call all the writers, editors, directors and producers to the idea room immediately. We need to come up with a variety of new shows before the hour is out."

"Yes boss." Wenli escorted her to the private elevator and sent her off.

The private elevator took her all the way to the first floor where her office was. The first floor had only three offices, hers, Wenli’s and her other new secretary Shi Shuli another fresh graduate from the university. Shi Shuli was gazing admiringly at her feet.

Because it was day one, a special day, she chose to wear those heels that Muyang gave her.

Against the smooth white tiled floor, the shining pearls on heels could be reflected in the surface of the floor. When she noticed it, it brought a small smile to her lips.

"Ma’am," Shuli stopped her before she could enter her office. "You have a delivery."

Chi Lian was surprised. A delivery early in the morning when she had not even taken a sit in her office yet! What was it?

"What is it?" she asked.

"I placed it in your office." Shuli smiled mysteriously.

She entered the office in puzzlement and found a big basket of white and pink orchids with an overly large white and black panda bear on her desk. Her heart skipped a beat and she took a deep breath to calm herself. She hoped it was from Muyang.
