To Love You Again

Chapter 8 - Gu Zhen (II)

Chapter 8 - Gu Zhen (II)

A week had passed peacefully.

Xiong Zhi continued to observe every target of hers and waiting to strike at her first target-? Gu Zhen.

After her preparations was completed she finally made her move.

She texted Linfeng that he did not have to accompany her to lunch anymore. Besides, it will take him thirty minutes to arrive at junior's building.

At the junior's cafeteria, Xiong Zhi, with her lunch , made her way towards the farthest corner where Gu Zhen? sat alone. As usual, the boy were typing while eating lunch.

Xiong Zhi quietly sat across from him and put her lunch in the table and ate quietly.

It took 10 mins after Gu Zhen took break from typing when he finally noticed that someone was sharing his table from him.

He looked around. There were many empty tables since the cafeteria was so big and spacious. He looked strangely at Xiong Zhi who were still eating with expressionless face.

After a while, Gu Zhen did not bother with it and continued multitasking.

Xiong Zhi was finally done eating. She stared at him and waited until he was finished.

When she saw that there was no more food at Gu Zhen's plate, she spoke.

"Mr. Gu, it was nice to have a meal with you."

Gu Zhen looked at Xiong Zhi. He was guessing earlier why this girl ate with him.

'It looks like she needs something from me. Or from my father? But this girl is from the Xiong.'

" I'm not in a good relationship with my father right now. So whatever favor you need, I can't help you. " Gu Zhen said while folding his laptop and stand up. When he was about to walked past her he heard her say,

" My favor I need was not from your Father, but from you and your talent."

Gu Zhen stopped and looked back at Xiong Zhi. Gu Zhen did not know what was Xiong Zhi talking about.

No one knew why he was in a bad relationship with his father right now. It was because before the school started his father mentioned him that after he graduated high school, he would bring him to the military school to train as the future general to follow his father's footsteps. When he heard that, he blurted out to him his dream to become a game maker. His father got angry and they got in argument. Now, a week had passed and they still in a fighting stance.

Except his father and the faithful maids who heard his argument to his father no one knew about his dream or what his good at.

Outside, he only looked as a weak boy with a strong background military family.

So he was confused when Xiong Zhi want to ask a favor from him. What a weak boy like him can do? Without his father and his background?

Gu Zhen thought he heard her wrongly.

"If you cooperate with me, your dreams and the things you wanted to do, I will help you to achieve them." Xiong Zhi added with a stern face.

Gu Zhen finally turned to her, he stared at her finding out if she was joking. But with her expressionless cold face, Gu Zhen cannot tell at all.

Gu Zhen returned at the table and took a seat in front of Xiong Zhi. He taunted,

"You are asking me as if you know what I want. What if my dream is to have a war in western countries? Will you help me achieve it then? With the Xiong family backing you up, maybe you can help to add Gu's military power but it was not enough to win war against the western countries.

Xiong Zhi eyed him.

"Is that what you really want? To lead the army , to be called General Gu? "

Gu Zhen was startled. He definitely knew the answer.

He did not want to be in military.

Since young, he never play with toy gun or play soldier or police. As far as he could remember he? was playing with their computer in his room. Never play anything except gadgets and computer. At the age of nine, he knew every part of computer. He learned how to hack, create virus,? and many things and he enjoyed them all. So his childhood that they considered boring and dull was so full of life for him.

Even he did not make any friends at middle school he did not care. Until now, he did not care to make any connections.

He was busy in his own.

He was creating his world.

He looked down at his laptop.

His world he created was there. He created it when he was ten. He only made some revision now. But he knew he was ready to take forward to his dream.

Gu Zhen stared hard at Xiong Zhi. He remained unfazed however his eyes that was hiding at the glasses and dark hair was burning.

"Then tell me, Miss Xiong, as a son of Gu family what would be my dream if not leading the army?" Gu Zhen continued taunting.

"If it is what will you gonna do in the future then I don't need your cooperation. What I need is your talent and your passion with that. I'm not asking the son of Gu family. I'm asking you as Gu Zhen. "

Xiong Zhi said.

Once again Gu Zhen was startled. He could not understand what she meant. Tired of taunting, Gu Zhen directly asked Xiong Zhi.

"What you really want from me?"

"Your cooperation. "

"In what?" Gu Zhen was getting impatient. Even Xiong Zhi was a rare seen beauty, Gu Zhen did not care about that. For him, computers and gadgets were the most enchanting.

Xiong Zhi smiled inwardly. It looked like Gu Zhen was baited, getting impatient now.

"Fine. I tell you directly. I need your skills and talent in computer? programming. I am creating my own company and I need you as one of my partners."

"Ha...are you kidding me? Just talk to me this thing again after we graduated in High School and maybe I can consider." Gu Zhen tried to stand up again.? This girl was not serious. How can a girl like her pampered since young to create her own company at this age? It was just a plaything for her.

But he did not need that.

What he need was a professional. Someone who can help him develop his game. To make it a big shot.

He started to walk away when Xiong Zhi beat him to it. She passed him and gave a card.

"Fine. I'll give this to you now. Call me if you changed your mind." Xiong Zhi already stood a few steps away from him when she stopped and looked back at him.

"One year. I'll give you a year to decide and a chance to prove myself. Next year, I'll find you and you will give me your answer." Then she walked away.

Gu Zhen looked down at the? card at his hand.

I H Z H I

Below this letter was a telephone number and an address.

He stares dumbly at it. She already had a name for her company?

Well, that was fast.

Gu Zhen did not know that this very company was already standing at the central city with its small number of its employees.

He did not know in the future he would be glad that he kept this card.

Gu Zhen walked back to his classroom on his own.

Xiong Zhi and Gu Zhen did not know that the moment Xiong Zhi walked to Gu Zhen's table earlier, there was a pair brown eyes looking at them watching their interaction the whole time furiously.
