Mark Of The Destiny

"WHAT? Do you know who I am?" Hui Guozhi slammed his hand on the table when being asked by Long Tao to sit in the waiting lounge. His big round bald face turned red in anger.

"Hold that expression, sir. Thanks" Long Tao took his mobile out and clicked Hui Guozhi's picture and posted it on his personal Weibo account.

Long Tao raised his phone at Hui Guozhi's face, "Done,"

[The person came to the office of the Ministry of women and child affairs. He doesn't know who he is. Does anyone know him? Share if you want to help. Like if you like his expression and comment if you think he's lying.]

He had heard this 'DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?' question millions of times in his career. And every time it irks him!

Today he really wanted to give a fitting reply to this question.

"YOU…. How dare you? I'll call Wei Yuan right away."

Before Hui Guozhi could give a call, Long Tao called the security waiting at the door all this while. "Mr. Hui, you can call whoever you want. But do it in the waiting lounge. Since you don't have an appointment, follow the procedure." He looked at the security guards, "Escort."

"STOP…." Hui Guozhi raised his palm, and stomped out of the room on his own, bitting the bitter insult. On the way, he dialed Wei Yuan's number, but none answered.

When Wei Yuan saw Hui Guozhi's number flash on the screen, he understood the reason and turned a blind eye. Suyin had informed him of her decision to take the case already.

Within two days of joining she has infused five billion Yuan of funds. All from properties and money of corrupt officials who were made to resign.

Who wants to risk losing a valuable employee like her!?

No! He won't!

Without care, Suyin continued her day's task from conference room…. While Hui Guozhi paced in the waiting lounge restlessly, fuming mad, popping pills.

The day was about to come to an end, and he continued to wait impatiently. Truly said, beggars are not choosers! Since he needed help, he had to endure it. All this while, he continued to call Wei Yuan, but all in vain.

"He's still there?" Suyin picked the cup of coffee as prepared by Long Tao, took a whiff. The aroma helped her calm down.

"Yes, should I ask the security-"

"No! Send him in." she glanced briefly at her watch.

Not long after, Long Tao escorted Hui Guozhi into the conference room.

"How dare you make me wait outside? Do you know who-"

"Tch…. Long Tao, has no one replied to the post yet?" Suyin ignored Hui Guozhi's shocked expression and question with raised brows.

"Let me check,"

"Stop it," Hui Guozhi roared. His jaw ticked that said he didn't like the surprise. Perhaps, he had never imagined the person he'd see would be her.

"You… What are you doing here?"

"What do you think?" Her brows rose, she flicked her wrist gesturing Long Tao to sit at her left, "Though you don't have an appointment, you waited over eight hours.… Tell me, what brings Mr. Hui here?" she tapped on the table, "Long Tao, Mr. Hui has fifteen minutes, at sixteenth, call the security in."

Hui Guozhi was stunned. Her indifferent and calm face consternated him. Finally, he understood the reason why he was made to wait outside and who created problems for him and Qi Industries. In his eyes, she was back to the country, seeking revenge.

With a smug smile, Hui Guozhi pulled a chair at the opposite end of the table, sit down facing her. "So the former Mrs. Qi has reduced to the point where she has become a government employee. How pity! Is the pay enough to get food and shelter?"

"Yeah, the same government employee you were desperate to meet, and waited over eight hours." She cast a sharp reply with a mocking tug on her lips , her eyes never leaving the man's face. The atmosphere turning heavier. "Instead of worrying about my food and shelter, think about youself."

Hui Guozhi's expression changed. Originally he wanted to offer money to stop the meddling of social services. If not, he will use the same method as Chen Bojing and use threats and power. But unexpectedly, the new Secretary-General turned out to be Zhao Suyin.

Sitting with serene and indifferent expression! Commanding power!

How could he accept this?

An idea strike, secretly he switched the camera on the phone and held it in his hand.

"Land acquisition case…. Stop framing me and Qi industries just because we share a dirty past. It was you who cheated on your husband. Now that Chouming is happily married to Wren, you are back to create problems. You should be ashamed of yourself? What will you get by disrupting my daughter's happiness?"

"Mr. Hui, I must say you have the charisma of a damp rag, appearance of a sweeper, and brain of a pig. I've nothing to do with the persons you named. Who are they?" She understood what the old foggy was trying to do. It was the old trick; does he still think she would fall for it again? Dream on!

"I'd advise, instead of spouting nonsense, give substantial evidence that proves Martyr widows false. If not, the door is still on the left. I'll continue pursuing the case."

It was inevitable to avoid her past with them and she had braced herself to face it. But the moment Hui Guozhi mentioned it; she could not help feel herself be getting effected. Her throat started burning with unshed tears, stinging her.

This has to stop!

Hui Guozhi pushed back from the table, his eyes never leaving the woman sitting in business attire, carrying a competent and talented bearing. What upsets him most was the fact that Zhao Suyin ended up at the position of Secretary-General.

Years back, they destroyed her promising medical career that got her debarred from practice. Her degree was taken back, and she was announced as the biggest scammer.

Reducing to nothing!

Yet, five years later, she had become a successful woman. How? Why?

Wrong! This was not supposed to be like this! She should always be living out at lowest in life, at others' mercy.

Hui Guozhi stood up, straightened his suit, "I, Hui Guozhi, won't allow you to take what belongs to my daughter. No matter what evil methods you use, I won't give up." Saying, he waited for her reply but she didn't, foiling his plan to record something.

Suyin, "Time?"

Long Tao, "10...9...8..4...3.....2....1 Over!"

Suyin, "Call the security,"

"You-" Hui Gouzhi gritted his teeth. His anger so profound that veins popped out on his forehead. "I'll remember this," he stomped towards the door. With a hand on door knob he paused one last time to face her, "Let me see how long you will be able to hold on to that position. I'm the powerful one here."

"We will see," she answered with indifference.

As soon as he left, Suyin took a deep breath. She opened her bag to get a candy bar and put it in her mouth. Though her face remained calm, only she knows the surge of emotions brewing inside.

Long Tao felt awkward after witnessing the conversation he shouldn't. He looked everywhere but at her face, failing to understand whether he should stay, leave, or say something.

"Confused?"

After a short while, he heard her say, startling him.
