"So how have you been? How is my little boyfriend doing?" Ning Xiaozhi asked referring to Bai Renxiang's son, Bai Xiaojin.
"Speaking of my son, something happened to him at school today and it has changed my life...well not yet though," Bai Renxiang said and it piqued Ning Xiaozhi's interest.
"What happened to him?" She asked.
"Well it seems like he got into a fight and his class teacher gave me a call that the school principal wants me to go to his school."
"What? Do they know what they are saying? How can that cute little baby I saw on you phone's screen saver get into a fight?"
Ning Xiaozhi had only seen Bai Xiaojin on pictures and videos and heard about him from Bai Renxiang. And based on all she has heard and seen, she knew that her best friend's kid is meek or rather timid.
Bai Renxiang narrated the whole story of what happened at Bai Xiaojin's school to Ning Xiaozhi. Ning Xiaozhi could not help but course the principal and the parent of the boy that Bai Xiaojin hit.
"If I was there I would have talked the shit out of that bitch and corrupt principal. God damnit Renxiang, why did you not call me to accompany you there. I would have dug my nails into that bitch's eyes," Ning Xiaozhi's face was red from anger.
"There is no need for calling you. But the case has been settle now, I guess. I told my grandpa about it and he said that he will handle everything. But there is also something that I agreed to that I said will change my life," Bai Renxiang hesitated to tell her best friend the news of her being CEO soon.
"What is it? You can tell me anything. You know that, right?" Ning Xiaozhi placed her hands on Bai Renxiang's own that were resting on her lap.
"Yeah, I do." She took in deep breaths and turned to her best friend.
"Xiaozhi, what I am about to say is not to pass this room and you have to promise me that you will not scream or freak out," Bai Renxiang warned.
"I promise. So just tell me already. You are making me scared and anxious at the same time," Ning Xiaozhi probed.
"My grandpa wants me to be the CEO of his company, Jiang's Corporation and I agreed," sh said.
SILENCE
Ning Xiaozhi was cut off guard. She was never ever expecting to hear this from Bai Renxiang. It was like she froze. She us trying to process the information she had just heard.
"Xiaozhi! Xiaozhi! Ning Xiaozhi?" Bai Renxiang called out as Ning Xiaozhi was just stating at her with a blank expression on her face.
"Huh huh," Ning Xiaozhi jolted out of her trance when she felt a hand grip her shoulders.
"What is wrong with you and my mother? The two of you are weird," Bai Renxiang frowned.
"I am sorry I just could not believe my ears. But thinking about it more... I just can't believe that my best friend will be a CEO of a big company.... Aaaaahhhhh," Ning Xiaozhi squealed excitedly as she jumped up front her seat.
"You just promised not to scream when I told you," Bai Renxiang said but there was smile on her face.
Ning Xiaozhi's behaviour was too funny and cute.
"I am sorry. But woah! That is....huge and amazing and goddamn unexpected. I am so happy for you. I also can't believe that your grandpa owns Jiang's Corporation."
"Well that is how it is and I will soon take it over. But I am quiet scared and nervous," Bai Renxiang said.
"Chill girl. There is nothing to be scared or nervous about. You will do great. I believe in you," Ning Xiaozhi placed her hands on her chest.
"Thanks for being my best friend. But Xiaozhi...this will mean that I will not get to see you as often as before because vi will not be working here," Bai Renxiang said with a pout.
"Aww. I feel sad about it but it is meant to be. Besides, we can see always. You are going to be a boss and you can decide whenever you want to see me. Do not tell me you have grown all mushy on me?" Ning Xiaozhi teased her.
"Pfft... Mushy my ass. Do not be so proud of yourself. I will just miss you that's all," Bai Renxiang said.
"I will miss you too. Let us go out together some other time when you are free. Maybe you could have a break from all the CEO stuff and we could relax at the beach," Ning Xiaozhi suggested.
"Alright. That reminds me, my mum wanted me to act like my age and go out with friends or bring them home for dinner. Once she knows about our beach plans, she will be excited," Bai Renxiang remembered what her mother told her.
"Oh! Then how about I tag along with you to your house and have dinner. I really want to see my little boyfriend in the flesh and also your mum," Ning Xiaozhi's eyes sparkled at her own suggestion.
Bai Renxiang thought for a while and agreed. She called Shane and told him she was ready to go home and in less than thirty minutes time, he arrived beside the restaurant where Bai Renxiang was standing.
"Good evening sis," Shane said with a smile.
"Good evening Shane," then she pulled Ning Xiaozhi to stand beside her as she introduced.
"Shane this is my best friend and my boss here at the restaurant, Ning Xiaozhi. Xiaozhi, this my junior brother, Shane."
"Uh.. it is nice to meet you uh... Miss-"
"Just call me sis like you call Renxiang. It is nice to meet you too," Ning Xiaozhi cut him off and shook his out stretched hands.
"Shane, I want Xiaozhi to go home with us and gave dinner.. Also, brother Shin help mum prepare an additional dish for our guest," Bai Renxiang said as she noticed that Shane is wearing the mini walkie-talkie ear piece-like thingy.
