Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Meng Xiao had been on the phone with Nick for a long time. When she hung up the phone, she suddenly realized that Old Master Meng had called her three times.
She was still very afraid of Old Master Meng, so she quickly called him back. “Hello, Grandpa, what’s the matter?”
“Who were you talking to?” Old Master Meng asked. “Why did it take more than half an hour?”
Meng Xiao’s face was covered in sweat. She lied. “It’s a friend from overseas. I haven’t seen her for a long time, so she called to ask about my recent situation.”
Old Master Meng didn’t quite believe it. “It can’t be your boyfriend, right?”

Old Mr. Meng did not pursue the matter any further. Regardless of whether Meng Xiao had a boyfriend or not, it was impossible for them to be together.
“There’s a banquet tomorrow. I’ve prepared a few sets of clothes for you. Come back and try them on.” Old Master Meng instructed.
Attending a banquet was a very normal thing, so Meng Xiao did not think too much about it. “Okay, I’ll be right back.”
After hanging up the phone, Meng Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her grandfather did not pursue the matter. Otherwise, he would not know how to hide it.
The new assistant beside her walked in. She held a large stack of documents and said to Meng Xiao, “Director Meng, these are the documents that needs to be signed by you today. Please take a look.”
Meng Xiao had a headache when she saw the densely packed documents. She had never read so many words when she was in university. Now that she was asked to read them again, she could not read them at all.
“Leave it here. I’ll come back tomorrow to take a look.” Meng Xiao said.
The new assistant said, “CEO Meng, it’s not time to get off work yet. You can’t leave yet. Moreover, these documents are more important. You should read them first before you leave.”
Meng Xiao was very angry. “Am 1 the boss or are you the boss? 1 want to leave now. Can you stop me?”
The new assistant was placed by Old Master Meng beside Meng Xiao. She was not afraid of Meng Xiao’s criticism at all. “Director Meng, these are all instructed by Old Master Meng. I hope you can finish the matter as soon as possible.”
Meng Xiao picked up the phone and shook it a few times. “It’s the old master who called me to go back now. I didn’t want to go back by myself.”
When the new assistant saw the call log, she did not say anything else. “Sure but I hope you can come over early tomorrow and settle the matter.”
Meng Xiao left the office building in a huff. She would fire this new assistant sooner or later, lest she report her situation to the old man.
When she returned home, Meng Xiao was still angry. She disliked everyone, and the servants at home did not dare to provoke her. This was because Meng Xiao had been highly valued by the old master recently, so they had to coax her a little.
“You’re back.” Old Master Meng glanced at Meng Xiao. “Go upstairs and tidy up. See if those gowns fit. You’re attending a banquet tomorrow. I have something for you to do.”

Old Master Meng did not hide it from her. “The Zhuang family’s head, Zhuang Liu, and the Tao family’s eldest young master, Tao Zhi, will be attending tomorrow night’s banquet. I want you to dress up beautifully and take down one of them.”
When Meng Xiao heard that she had to seduce someone, she immediately became angry. “Grandpa, I don’t like either of them. Why do I have to be with them? I won’t do it!”
Old Master Meng snorted coldly. “Then just wait and see how Nick ends up worse than a beggar.”
Meng Xiao’s eyes widened. “Grandpa, what are you talking about?”
Old Master Meng didn’t waste any more time with her. “Whether you want to go or not, it’s up to you.”
Meng Xiao was very worried about Nick. Moreover, it was not easy for Nick to get to where he was today. If Old Master Meng wanted to destroy him, it would only take a moment. She could not let Nikes be destroyed.
“Alright, 1 promise you that 1 will try my best to take down one of them.” Meng Xiao clenched his fists and said. She had to calm Old Master Meng down first. As for what happened after that, she would take it one step at a time.
Old Master Meng smiled. “That’s my good granddaughter! You’re a smart child. I believe you’ll do better than your sister.”
Meng Xiao lowered her head. “I’ll be good..”
