Chapter 499: Who doesn’t love a little gossip?

One thing that all office workers loved to partake in during their breaks was gossip. They gossiped about their friends, their workmates, their relatives and random people whose identities they did not know but bumped into on their way to work. Most of all, they loved to gossip about celebrities and all that was related to them. They would gather in the cafeteria, balconies or downstairs in the small garden and talk about their fashion, relationships, projects and many other things. The topic of discussion today was not a celebrity but a wealthy young man that rarely appeared in public but one whose name was well known, Jun Muchen. His sudden marriage and the controversies surrounding it were the juiciest conversations on the lips of many office workers today in the phoenix building.

The topics ranged from "I can’t believe how handsome he is, I heard the bride went to an ivy league school, He stole her from another man" to "What did she do to deserve such a handsome man? and Do you thin the marriage will last if the two families don’t get along?"

It amused Chi Lian how insanely invested they all were in the lives of two complete strangers.

"Boss," Shu Li had been standing in front of her desk for a while holding some documents but Chi Lian had been straining her ears to over hear the nearest conversations.

"What were saying Shu Li?"

"Manager Ma dropped this off for you, she said that it’s the advance copy of the magazine. She put in a request for feed back and a go ahead as soon as possible since only a week is left until the month ends and they need to print."

"Okay, put it down." Chi Lian responded. "I am expecting some guests so prepare some tea and snacks, when they arrive let them into my office immediately"

"Who should I be on the look out for boss?" Shu Li asked to fulfill both her responsibility and curiosity.

"President Qin of Glory entertainment, she will be coming with one or two other people." One of the people coming was Haena but she preferred not to share that little fact. If the employees found out she was sure they would loiter around the elevators and underground parking waiting for an opportunity to ask for autographs and take pictures.

Shu Li however did not leave, she stayed around hovering as if there was something else she wanted to say.

"What is it?" She asked the young woman.

"Boss, there was a package sent to you yesterday evening after you left but there is no indication of who sent it. I found it on my desk and asked security to check it out but they tore the packaging apart roughly. I am so sorry."

"Do you have it here?" She could not blame her for being security conscious. It impressed her more actually.

"I am going to bring it." She rushed out and returned with a medium sized box that had been torn apart. "Here." She said.

The box literally fell apart when it was placed on her desk. The security guards had ripped the entire thing open as if it it contained a dangerous item. All that was inside was a mini hand size black circular device. It was about three feet in height, a logo of silver colored phoenix was imprinted on the right side. It was standing on four weirdly shaped short legs.

"Didn’t security check to see who delivered it?"

"Someone from the technology floor but I don’t know who. They rarely interact with the rest of us so we hardly know their names."

Chi Lian nodded, "You can go." She had all the information necessary.

"Code came by and brought it." T4 told her. "It’s another version of the companion, he changed a few settings and the entire design. I think adults will like it more than the penguin, press your thumb against that translucent edge, it will store your thumb print and recognize you as its owner."

She did as he said, a blue light appeared and the words welcome rotated.

"Hello, I am your lovely companion, please turn on your Bluetooth and connect me to all your devices for better communication." a male voice came from it.

She did not even have to do it because T4 did everything for her.

"What do I do with it now?" She asked him.

"Ask it anything, give it a name." He replied.

"Uh, you are called bandit from now on." She extended her mouth to the device and said.

"Bandit accepted, you don’t have to come so close to speak to me, I can hear you perfectly from anywhere in this room."

"Okay." She replied awkwardly.

"I notice that you have been searching the Internet for physical activities that might interest a twelve year old girl. I suggest swimming and dancing. Research on the Internet shows that girls that age tend to be body conscious and shy. Engaging in activities that build their confidence is advised."

Two minutes on the Internet and he thinks he is an expert, she thought sarcastically. Did he think she had not seen that research as well?

"Thank you bandit." She responded. "I am busy right now, please maintain silence until I tell you to speak."

Since he didn’t respond she took it to mean that he understood.

Two minutes later the door opened and president Qin walked in first with a big smile on her face. She was followed by a tall woman whose head was covered with a hat and on her face was a green mask. Behind that woman was a big man, her bodyguard Chi Lian guessed.

"Little sister, I am on time today." President Qin announced her presence loudly. She was smiling vibrantly, filled with happiness.

"I see that." Chi Lian too smiled back at her. She stood up and walked from her her desk to the other chairs in her office. "Please sit." She indicated to all three of them.

"What, no hug?" President Qin said jokingly.

"We can hug after we sign the contract successfully." Chi Lian replied, still maintaining her cordial smile. " I am guessing that this is miss Haena." She turned her eyes to the woman that was yet to take off the hat and mask. Why she was maintaining privacy in this isolated office Chi Lian did not know.

" Yes," president Qin agreed, " Haena you can take off the disguise now, meeting my little sister will bring only blessings in your career."

Chi Lian snorted suddenly and then she laughed. "Hey, you are putting me on equal footing with a deity."

"Little sister, you managed to get the new singers in phoenix entertainment a chance to feature on a song with the great Allie Jean. If that’s not a miracle then I don’t know what is. The song has been up for two hours and it’s already number eight or six on different music charts. By tomorrow it will be number one in different empires. I really want to know how you did it. You practically resurrected a dead singer and breathed fresh life into her. I will happily leave my Haena in your care, please get her and Allie Jean to sing just one song together." The normally serious and frigid president Qin was pouting and blinking at Chi Lian.

"I will consider it, if she is professional."

President Qin did not even to hear more, if Chi Lian was saying it would happen then it would.

Haena took off her hat and mask, revealing her beautiful face, right at that moment, Shu Li came into the office with some cups of tea on a wooden serving tray and when she saw Haena, she squealed and her hands let go of the tray.
