Mr. Fang was was calm about his personal assistant getting flowers for his servant. Well, as long as he didn't put it anywhere near him, he would be fine with it.
'Since when did they become close?' Mr. Fang thought with a frown as he watched Bolin step out of the car and go into the store.
When he came back, he patiently waited for him to put the flowers in the trunk before going back to occupy the driver's seat.
"Since when did you and Zhang Liling become close enough to give her flowers?" Mr. Fang asked with knitted brows and a probing gaze.
Bolin didn't think much out of that questions, and just went on to revolve the car engine before driving them away.
"We are not close, Sir. I just thought that it would be good to give her something to celebrate her last exams since she didn't have any family to appreciate this milestone."
He was still smart not to mention anything about Chuanli, or they both would be dead meat.
'Now, he is making me look bad.'
Mr. Fang scoffed and look through the window.
He thought the action Bolin portrayed made him look bad, but now, he was not going to care.
How was it any of his business if someone that worked for him in his house, finished school?
*******
Somehow, Chuanli got the text Bolin managed to type and send to him, while on his way to the underground parking lot of Fang Group, with Mr. Fang.
The young man was thrilled and immediately got up to work.
He picked up his telephone and made a call to his secretary to pass the information about him clocking off work the next minute.
Next, he picked up the important things he needed, including his laptop before taking the private elevator leading straight to the underground car park.
He went back to his apartment to freshen up before going into a store to get some gifts.
*******
Zhang Liling was all smiles when she got into the cab she hailed earlier.
'She was a graduate!' She screamed in her head.
How exciting this was! She was no longer going to be restricted to do some things unlike before.
And most importantly, someone told her that he doesn't date his students. Now that she was a graduate, and was no longer his student, hope he would consider her now?
Zhang Liling couldn't wait to make slow, steady and appropriate moves on Mr. Fang.
She understood that she was his domestic employee, and the relationship between them could be awkward. She only hoped that he wouldn't mind.
Knowing a little about him from living with him for a short while, made her a little conscious about her actions.
This is the reason she was going to do whatever it takes to get into Fang Group for her internship, and hopefully, she would be retained there after a year.
She was not going to rush her goal, unless the situation calls for it.
Feeling the need to talk to someone, Zhang Liling phoned her mother, and after a few rings, the woman picked and screamed, "Congratulations Baby!"
Zhang Liling was all smiles with her mum being all squishy and cute, but had to move her phone a little away from her ear, to save her ear drums from getting damaged
Even without her putting her phone on hands-free mode, her mother's voice was still loud.
The cab driver heard her voice and smiled. He stole a glance at Zhang Liling through the rear-view mirror before fixing his gaze back on the road.
"Mum, you are going to damage my ear drums," Zhang Liling reminded with a face full of smiles.
"Oh I'm sorry!" Song Jujing apologized with a low chuckle, before whispering, "I forgot where I was and screamed, now everyone is thinking that something is wrong with me."
"You are not at the company?" Zhang Liling asked curiously.
Song Jujing glanced at the people sitting around the table in the conference room before replying, "Actually, I was in the middle of a meeting in the conference room before your call came in"
"What?!" Zhang Liling was so shocked that her jaw dropped.
She couldn't believe her mother would act like that in a meeting room, did she forget where she was?
Oh actually, she did say that she forgot where she was, but how could that be?
"Mum, I'm going to drop this call, call me back when you are home." Zhang Liling said and ended the call directly.
Her mum was crazy, that's all she could think.
Putting her phone down, Song Jujing's smile vanished as she immediately glanced at everyone. "Let the meeting continue."
At that command, everyone in the room stopped looking at her, and the meeting resumed.
Zhang Liling couldn't help chuckling after the call with her mother.
"Congratulations!" The cab driver suddenly said while gazing at her through the rear-view mirror.
Zhang Liling wasn't sure that he knew what he was congratulating her about, or was just saying that because he heard her mother say that to her, but in all, she thanked him before looking out through the window with a smile.
Soon, the car pulled over outside the estate, and she had to pay her cab fee, but the cab driver asked her to go.
"Young lady, it's on me!" The cab driver said.
Zhang Liling didn't accept his kindness and seriously wanted to pay her fare. She thought that he needed the money more than her since he looked like a family man, so she insisted.
The cab driver just smiled at her and said, "I know you think I need the money more. But sometimes, we just have to show kindness. You can take this as a little gift from a stranger who thought to brighten your day. Congratulations!"
As soon as the man said that, he drove away without taking the money from her.
Zhang Liling felt that man was weird, but she couldn't disagree if someone said she was touched by his gesture.
She didn't need the money because she had money, but that random act of kindness from a stranger really did move her heart.
Smiling to herself, she turned around and walked inside the estate, through the gates.
