NOVEL NEXT Chapter 61: Preparation
I took my phone out; there was a message flashing on the screen.
"I am your plus one for the party, no arguments."
'Very assertive, just my Queen's style.'
I smiled and looked through my desk, there was an ivory envelope. Very chic looking with a metallic finish, inside is a red card with details to the event and the venue.
I tucked the invite in my coat and got busy with my work.

[POV Bai Chang]
After Qiang left for office. I asked out Zhang Wei, as Brother Li Jie is out of the country on a secret errand of mine.
"Hey Zhang Wei, join me in the study room, the third floor."
"Okay, be there in a few moments."
I walked out of the living room and walked towards the study.
-The Study Room-
I jacked up 'Jiffy'.
"Boy, we might have to overwork today," I said as I entered new work commands in 'Jiffy'.
[Knock… Knock]
"Come in"
"You know Mr Hu will get really upset with the amount of time you spent with me than with him."
"What gave you the impression?" I asked.
"Last night, he really was sour with our commanderies."
"Did I ever question his commanderies with Ming Li? We each have our confidants. We each have our own group of people we like to work with. He might be jealous but he is no fool."
"You are right, he did quickly catch on to the context of our chat last night."
"Oh! He is a bad boy himself, no worries there."
"So What we got today?" He asked me.
"Something pretty interesting, Feling's on the mainland and he is already planning traps here and there," I replied casually.
Zhang Wei was not happy for some reason, his knuckles tightened, his body straightened a bit more.
"Relax, I got this under control as of now," I handed him a tablet. There was footage of Feling's surveillance on Qiang and Hu Corporations playing on the tablet screen.
"As you can see, I too have surveillance on him."
"What are you cooking here?" He asked me tight-lipped.
(He seems more tense and rigid than usual, What's up with him?)
"Anything of concern?" I asked.
He shook his head, "Nothing, let's focus on the task at hand. What are you after?" He replied.
Instead of talking, I showed him some video footage in chronological order. With each passing video, he seemed to be flushed with anger.
"I am going to the semi-formal part, with Qiang."
"Why?"
(He definitely looked like he didn't agree with the idea of it.)
"I have my own reason but the overall objective may be summarised in one word, i.e. 'Feling'."
"What do you get out of it?"
"Know your enemy and you shall prevail, I want to meet the public face of my enemy while we are still obscured from their radar," I answered.
(Oh Feling! Let's enjoy a game of hide and seek. It's my turn to seek.)
