Zhou Liying reached the floor where her office was located. A smile appeared on her lips when she heard staff whispering about her.

"I hope Miss Zhou is not so bad as claimed by people in the London branch."

"Have you heard she has fired the receptionist and manager Wang last night? She must be cruel to fire someone on her first night in the company."

Her friend sneered. "Receptionist deserved it. Don't you know she is habitual of chatting with her boyfriend during work time? I am sure, Miss Zhou caught her on a call with her boyfriend."

"I have heard she is evil. People in London call her Hitler."

"I don't think so. I heard she is bad only to bad people. Manager Wang is an apt example. He was troubling everyone and look how miss Zhou fired him. Another example is Miss Min herself; Miss Zhou identified her talent and gave her so much importance."

"I agree with you, Miss Zhou is a great leader and if we dedicatedly follow her then maybe we will achieve huge heights in our career."

Zhou Liying smirked at the mixed reaction from everyone. She walked toward her cabin, announcing her presence. She turned and looked at the higher-level staff who had their working stations on the floor in her office.

"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Liying. From now on, I will be leading you all. London branch has achieved many great heights under me and I vision the same about this branch. I hope you all will help me to achieve this vision." She bowed and entered her office.

Min Yue was waiting for her. She immediately started to report to Zhou Liying about everything which she saw from the time of her arrival.

"Manager Tang is hardworking." Min Yue ended her report.

"Ask him to report to me. Also, arrange for a meeting with Mister Mu regarding the Lake city project." Zhou Liying ordered.

At the same time, her mobile rang with a call from Zhou Yonge.

"I heard you fired Wang Yi from his post. Can I know why? I thought he is a hard-working man." Zhou Yonge came to the point without beating around the bush.

"Hard-working? My ass. He was in some pub or a bar during his working hours. I do not need men like him working for me. Besides, my team from London will be coming here, to help me handle his post." Zhou Liying said and heard Zhou Yonge chuckle from another side of the phone.

"Can't I force you to change your mind? Father of Wang Yi is a good friend of mine."

"No uncle. You can't change my mind." Zhou Liying declared. "Now if you have nothing else to talk about then I will end the call. I have a lot of work to do."

"Ok, I will not waste any more of your time." And with that, he ended the call.

Zhou Liying stopped for the day at ten and left the office. She made her way toward the hospital in the same car designated for her by Zhou Bingbing.

"Any reply from the agency?"

"They said they will send a driver cum guard." Min Yue replied.

Zhou Liying arrived at the hospital and made her way toward the room of her grandfather. She was hell tired and sleepy. But still, she visited the hospital because she promised the same to Qin Yanze last night.

She knew her grandpa and she knew; he must be waiting for her.

"Liying." Qin Yanze smiled when he saw her. "Come here, come here. I was waiting for you only."

Zhou Liying walked toward him and took her seat. "How was your day grandpa?"

"Boring. Qin Yutong and Qin Yeteng came to meet me. Do you know Qin Yutong and Fan Yifeng are going to get married?" Qin Yanze asked with disdain in his voice.

"I know. And no, I am not sad. I guess, I never loved him." Zhou Liying smiled and gripped his hand.

"How was your day?" Qin Yanze asked, and Zhou Liying dictated to him about the happenings of her day, including how Fan Yifeng bought a dress worth 500 million won, making the old man chuckle.

"You are just like your mother, a businesswoman." Qin Yanze smiled with pride.

"Nah, mom was too soft-hearted. I have taken after my father."

"Don't mention that man in front of me." Qin Yanze gritted his teeth. "That mother f*cker left your mother pregnant, out of wedlock."

"Hey, don't curse my dad. You know he died at a young age, if not he would have loved me and my mother. Besides, they married before he died. You have already seen the wedding certificate." Zhou Liying pointed out.

Soon the topic of their chat got diverted toward another direction and then it was time for Zhou Liying to take her leave.

"Rest grandpa. I will come to meet you tomorrow." Zhou Liying covered him properly and left his room.

She was in the lobby of the hospital when she collided with a small girl, making her cry.

"I am sorry." She helped the girl in standing up and asked for forgiveness. "Let me give you a lollipop."

She offered, well aware that Min Yue was addicted to lollipops and always had one or two with herself.

At the same time, coincidently Fan Yifeng also arrived at the hospital and his eyes fell upon Zhou Liying. He looked at her and was surprised. To get a clear view of her, he walked toward her but before he could reach her, Zhou Liying had already left the hospital.

"I must be imagining; how can that lady be Qin Tian? Qin Tian is gone six years back. Besides, that lady looked very beautiful and sophisticated, unlike Qin Tian. She also helped that child and made her laugh which is not in the blood of Qin Tian.'

Fan Yifeng bitterly thought about Qin Tian and made his way toward the room of Qin Yanze, to take his permission to marry Qin Yutong, only out of his etiquettes.
