To Love You Again

Chapter 163 - The enemy of my enemy is my friend

Xiong Zhi first walked to her aunt's table. Her aunt received her warmly.

They greet each other first and then she looked around to her aunt's tablemates. She was a bit stunned.

Xiong Zhi saw the person in her 'wanted' list and keep down her smile from coming out.

Xiong Mai saw her gaze and understood it.

"We are talking about dresses and their designs. Then we talked about history, particularly mine."

She turned to her only table mate and introduced Xiong Zhi.

"This is my niece, Xiong Zhi. "

Xiong Zhi bowed to the only person in the table aside from her aunt.

"Nice to meet you."

The man, who was seated together with Xiong Mai, was the heir of Tanaka Group, and the owner of the rising company in Japan, Simsung, was Shinichi Tanaka.

Shinichi stand up and bowed lower than Xiong Zhi.

"My pleasure is mine, I'm Shinichi."

Xiong Zhi likes him more. She already investigated Shinichi and she could empathize with him. He was an orphan left with only his uncaring and stern grandfather. Then he builds his own company when he was a teenager. And just recently, his company was on the rise. He was maintaining his company's growth for years all by himself. And now, he was recognized by his grandfather and announced as the heir just recently.

And the second thing she likes about him was he was the owner of the company that works together with Gu Zhen before. He made Gu Zhen's work known and sought after all over the world.

Since it was a successful transaction in the past, Xiong Zhi doesn't want to interfere to that. She might have cheated and took advantage of the situation. Let's just say that she hurried up the things that supposed to happen four years later.

Since Gu Zhen's work was the core that Simsung was recognized in the whole world, Xiong Zhi would hand over that work as Gu Zhen's representative.

That company also helped Gu Zhen branched out and be the CEO. They were a good company that did not take advantage and was honest with their benefactor.

Xiong Zhi likes this company. And finally, she met the owner behind it.

Shinichi Tanaka was a handsome Japanese man. He was also kind of aloof and not sociable. However, he enjoyed the conversation with the leader of the EU. It was a smart conversation. So when this young girl was introduced to him by his seatmate, he welcomes Xiong Zhi a bit warmly. He even introduced his first name. It was an indication to not be so polite and to talk casually.

"I've heard a lot about you and your company, Simsung, Mr. Sinichi."

Shinichi smiled. He was happy that he got recognize not because he was a Tanaka but because of his own company.

"Well, it's not still on the scale that people like in China can hear it. " It's true. Simsung was only known to Japan. It hasn't dominated the Japan I.T industry yet. So he hasn't reached out to overseas.

But Shinichi was bright. Since the girl in front of him mentioned his company it means she was interested.

He of course, known about the mighty Xiong. So being approached by a Xiong was a great honor even to him. Especially in the case that this girl seems to be looking to him for his company not for the Tanaka group.

"You're being modest. I was really amazed that I even look at your company.

Please forgive me for that. I just really admire your achievement."

Shinichi was now sure that this Xiong Zhi girl was approaching him for business. This was an opportunity. He welcomes it with open arms.

"Nah. I'm not being modest. It's true. Unless someone approaches me and make me a deal to increase my influence in China."

Xiong Zhi smiled. This Shinichi would get really along with her. He knew what she wanted. This talk would be smooth.

" My, you are very qualified. I know a company that will surely help you to dominate Japan's I.T industry in a few months. And for sure, by the end of the year, your Simsung will start owning a land in China."

Sinichi'a's eyes sparkled.

Xiong Zhi looked around. She spotted Fang Dien and Mr. Cang's sister. They were at the far back in VIP rows.

Fang Dien met her eyes. It was a signal. They talked about it two days ago. Fang Dien knew what to do. She saw Fang Dien excused himself to his tablemates and went to their direction.

Xiong Zhi then continued to speak with Shinichi.

"I don't speak nonsense. That man will come here and will discuss things with you. I hope you two get along well."

Shinichi doesn't need explanations. He knew that this young miss wanted to do things discreetly.

"Well, it depends on the conversation." He still has to see what they will offer in the table.

Xiong Zhi excused herself.

She needs to look around more so she could finish her quota.

Then she saw the Korean man she was looking for. He was on the VIP as well.

There were some people surrounding their table.

She walked to them but stopped when a man who was standing before that Korean table had passed by her and mumbled something in mandarin.

"..he should listen to the Xiong.."

She looked back at the man quickly.

She watched him as he walks to other VIPs to greet and converse.

Xiong Zhi could not make out of his appearance. This damn mask was really irritating.

She took note of him and went to her second target.

Kwang Sook, the King in the entertainment industry in Asia. There are more queen and kings other than him who had more achievements and money than him. However, he still managed to be a VIP here because he bought dresses every year since the creation of IAmFashionista. He was a normal guest back then. He was one of the people who were 'promoted' in status.

Xiong Zhi chose this person for one reason. He was one of the people who did not bow down to Xiong Wuyue, the princess and the future queen of the entertainment industry.

As the saying said, the enemy of my enemy, is my friend.

"Good evening, Mr. Kwang Sook. I'm Xiong Zhi from table three." Xiong Zhi introduced herself like this so Kwang Sook would know who she is.

Kwang Sook recognized her instantly. First, because she was brought by the mighty Old Xiong. The playboy Kwang Sook was polite as he greets her.

"It's my pleasure to be greeted by you, Ms. Xiong Zhi. Here have a seat." Kwang Sook stands up so Xiong Zhi could seat.

Xiong Zhi took it without remorse. The girl, the rising star, who was seated beside with Kwang Sook, glared at her. Xiong Zhi ignored the beautiful girl and went directly to the business.

"Mr. Kwang Sook is nice and smart. To greet me like this, you must know how my family's name weighted in Asia."

Kwang Sook mouth twitched. This girl in front of her was like every other Xiong he met. Rude and arrogant.

He expected Xiong Zhi a bit differently since he heard from rumors and from his investigation team that the young miss of Xiong was silent and anti-social. But it seems it was not the case.

'That Wuyue girl and this girl is really a family.'

If Xiong Zhi knew what he was thinking she must have been disgusted to the point of vomiting to Xiong Wuyue's face.

"Of course. The Xiong family is a legendary family throughout Asia." However, Kwang Sook has no other choice but to keep calm. If he could somehow ignore Xiong Wuyue, he could not do that the girl in front of him. Because this girl's status was higher than that of Wuyue and him.

She was basically the heir.

"I'm glad you know that. However, I've heard something interesting recently."

Kwang Sook's heart jumped. He felt like this girl in front of him was not just rude and arrogant. She was having an air of dominance. He felt that what the girl was going to say was bad for him. He felt he was standing there to be judge by her.

Why he was feeling this way?

The attention of the people in their table was on Xiong Zhi. The people who want to talk to other VIPs in the same table glance at them as well. It's because it was a Xiong who joined the table and took away one of the VIP's seats. It smells gossip.

Xiong Zhi who knew of their attention, smiled.

"I've heard that you are ignoring my dear cousin."

Kwang Sook gulped.

That cousin was probably the Xiong Wuyue who was pressuring him to hand over a role in an Asian International Movie that was already set for the rising star.

Kwang Sook ignores Xiong Wuyue who kept contacting him and bribing him to hand over the role. Kwang Sook was one of the kings in the entertainment industry for a reason. He was meticulous in his work. He loves his agency. He loves directing. He has eyes for talents. He has a passion for what he created. That's why he brought this rising star with him because he believed this rising star would be a future queen in the future.

However, Xiong Zhi who knew the future knows that this rising star would commit suicide because of numerous scandals. The influence of Kwang Sook and all of his companies would go bankrupt. In the end, Kwang Sook ends up in jail for whatever charges. That year, it was on the news how Kwang Sook shouted in court that he was framed and the rising star was murdered. However, no one would believe him. He spent his life there in prison.

Xiong Zhi who came back from the past knew that Kwang Sook might be telling the truth. All those things must be related to Xiong Wuyue and Xiong De. Because she experiences their cruel method at first hand.

This enemy of Xiong Wuyue, Kwang Sook, and the rising star, she would take care of them, protect them from pests, and let them grow so they could swallow up Xiong Wuyue's existence in the future.
