It was another of such days,Xinya woke to the sounds of the housekeeper bustling around. She tuned around and looked at the time it was exactly 6:30 am so she got up,freshened up and changed into another outfit and went to accompany her in the kitchen.Mrs. Bricks, an elderly woman in her 40's was preparing breakfast when Xinya walked in."Good morning Annie", She greeted lightly. Annie turned around as she responded with a smile. It was obvious how much love the elder woman had for Xinya as she had a huge smile on her face."Your father is in the dining room and it seems like he has something to tell you. Why don't you go and meet him now and come over later to see me? I'll have something for you by the time you come over" Annie said as she stirred her pot. Xinya took a deep breath, She would love to ignore her father if she had the ability especially now that the man was so irritable as he was
Mu Feng, a 6ft 20-year-old young man with a face which could rival a top face model of any country stepped into the My family home after having received an urgent SOS distress call which he had long perceived was fake from his mother. He had calmly walked up to his mother asking what the problem was. She'd instantly thrown a tantrum about him never visiting home unless forced to and only after much coaxing did she finally relent asking him about his work and lifestyle. Mu Feng was the current president of his father's establishment Mu Corporation. He had joined the company a year ago after graduating from college at 19. He was fiercely independent and had always loved to stay alone moving out of the family home at 16 when he'd graduated from high school.After dealing with all the questions his mother had asked him to stay for lunch and to accompany his dad and her to a dinner appointment. Sensing something amiss in the entire scenerio he had kept probing until his mother had
Xinya walked through the doors of Lu Corporation dressed in a classy black trouser suit, a pair of heels and a smile plastered over her face. As she walked in she soon became the topic of discussion across the reception since she had become one of the most controversial topics in the company. People could not fathom how a girl with seemingly no background could easily complete all the tasks assigned to her with no mistakes and how she always seemed to be classily dressed, even in nameless brands. A lot of people believed she was someone's mistress but there was no evidence to prove it and because of the fact that she had refused to date anyone regardless of who and the extreme politeness and coldness she seemed to exude she had earned the title of the ice queen yet somehow she never seemed to care.Nodding at the people who said a greeting to her, Xinya made her way to the accounts department, where she got blocked by Kira, an intern with the Finance department whi
At the same time on the topmost floor of Lu Corporation, the CEO/Chairman, stared at his phone incredulously, he could not believe that the little girl who would quiver at his presence would oh so openly ignore him. To his surprise, she had dared hang up on him, something that has never happened in all 18 years of her life and for him in more than 20 years. He'd chuckled darkly, wondering if he was wrong. Calling his assistant into his office, he'd sent him to inquire on exactly what happened, after all, regardless of how he viewed his daughter, she was still the sole heir to his company. In less than 30 minutes, his assistant was back, sporting an incredulous look, he presented a file before his CEO and while the former was perusing the file, started telling him exactly what had happened in the company that morning. It was only then that James Lu realized that his daughter whom he had looked down on was an interesting girl, she was better than what he thought. He turned his attenti
After a tiring 4 hours before a laptop, Xinya found herself with a new Swiss account and a bank balance of a few tens of millions. Her name once buried under the dust along side thousands of others, had once again swept through the list in the space of a couple of hours, she'd made it into the top one thousand, her eyes lingered on the verification button besides her name. She didn't know it but at that moment her actions had caused a ripple in the Hacker world. She had jumped into the nine hundreds and still moving upwards. She smiled, wondering to herself if her father would let her back out of the marriage agreement if she filled in the gaps in finances and if she found him a good financial advisor. "If I handed him a few couple of millions, would he die of a heart attack"She wondered to herself"or would he accuse me of robbing a bank?" Xinya chuckled at her thoughts.
Mu Feng raised his brows wondering exactly what the woman beside him planned to say. He watched as she walked pass him and out into the night. The lights formed a hallow around her making her look distinctly beautiful. He sighed, getting up and wondering to himself exactly what she planned to say. As soon as Mu Feng entered the garden he caught sight of Xinya who was leaning on a tree, a stem wound round her in her hand. She looked quite at ease and very different from the girl he'd seen the moment he'd entered the Lu's home. "What's up" A cold voice fell through Xinya looked up, her distracted thoughts interrupted, reminding her of the reason she stepped into the cold night. "Young Master Mu, I don't know how this engagement fell into place and I am really not interested in fulfilling it neither do I think that based on your attitude so far that you are interested. So I would like you to talk to your parents while I speak to my father a
It was another anoyingly slow day for Lu Xinya in the office, while she loved getting back at others, doing it in secret was more of her but now she had to get the company on track as well as join the board of directors meeting that afternoon as well as a contract discussion which meant everyone will know her identity. She had promised her Dad that she would be able to get the money required to get the company back in track without the help of the Mus but instead of agreeing to call of the marriage, the man had told her that her marriage was a must. He had reiterated that while he wasn't extremely fond of her and while he hadn't spent much time on her, he still loved her and that the reason for her marriage was even more serious than company funds. He hinted that it was very serious but refused to say anything else. Lu Xinya had begun wondering if she had been wrong. At that point there was a knock on her door. "Come in" A young girl of about 22, dres
It was currently 1:45pm. Lu Xinya walked into the boardroom. There were more than ten men already seated there. Four of them were minor share holders with no decision rights and who merely came to the board meetings to establish presence and fill up space. She ran through the information she had of the company in her head. Her father was the major share holder with 53% of the shares. Her uncle held the position of the second largest with 19%, she held third with 18%, The Mu's held 5% and the four shareholders there shared the remaining 5%. This made her father the major share holder with major decision making right especially since he could access the 37% held by this brother-in-law and his daughter. However with Lu Xinya turning 18, she gained access to managing both her own shares but the shares owned by her uncle by default since she was also her uncle's legal heir. She greeted the men and sat down on the seat reserved for the third largest share holder even though she co
The hall was rowdy as the guests danced. Xinya walked in, watching the crowd was quite fun as there were different characters to be seen. The arrogant young men who felt the world was theirs, the elderly men who had spent their lives in servitude being yes men. There were the young women caked in make-up who were seeking their next catch, the elderly women scouring the grounds for their potential sons and daughters- in-law not to mention the celebrities who felt like they were on top of the world because they had found themselves in a gathering of the cream of the crop. They swished around in their in season gowns and competed with who had the most sought after jewelry and who glittered the most. Maybe it was this glitter that made them similar to the noveau rich and quite different from the true daughters of nobility. The real daughters of nobility who prided themselves in outrageously expensive gowns which looked low-key yet luxurious. Simple jewelries whose costs could maybe buy c

Mu Feng gritted his teeth. He really didn't know what had possessed him to call that annoying girl.He would have kept his sanity by simply staying on his own but no, he'd allowed the snippets of conversation he'd overheard this morning get to him.He sighed.She was obviously fine, at least she still had the strength to scold him.With those thoughts he focused back in his work.But focusing on his work was easier said than done. His mind kept returning to what he'd heard this morning.Mu Feng dropped the pen in his hand and picked up his phone. He sent a text to Lu Xinya asking if she was free and if she could accompany him to a charity event.He didn't want to call because he didn't know if she was busy or if she had gone for the meeting she told him she had.After waiting for a few minutes and there was no reply he turned his attention to the documents in front of him.

He'd call her later, he decided.Meanwhile, a certain person was sitting in the boardroom with the majority of the board members and the department heads.Projects after projects were discussed and conclusions where reached for most of the projects when someone mentioned the fact that Xinya had been asked to go through old files and check if anything had been missed.Xinya stared at the middle aged man who suddenly called her out. It didn't take extraordinary intelligence to tell that the man had been quite intentional about his act.She
Mu Feng gritted his teeth. He really didn't know what had possessed him to call that annoying girl. He would have kept his sanity by simply staying on his own but no, he'd allowed the snippets of conversation he'd overheard this morning get to him. He sighed. She was obviously fine, at least she still had the strength to scold him. With those thoughts he focused back in his work. But focusing on his work was easier said than done. His mind kept returning to what he'd heard this morning. His mom had implied that Lu Xinya was having issues with her work and other related issues and from what he'd heard it sounded like her dad didn't care about her so he'd wanted to ask her if she needed any help from him but she'd snubbed him completely. 'Damn, he must be a fool to attempt helping that annoying girl'He tried to focus his attention back on his work.But, his mother's words were still hunting his memory.
Lu Xinya watched the man, her expression neutral. She'd seen plenty like him, arrogant and annoying old men who thought they were better than everyone, and refused to consider the opinions of young people, especially younger people such as herself. Lu Xinya was about to question him when she realized she didn't even know his name. Not wanting to be overly harsh, she asked sweetly, "What do you call yourself again?" The man blanched, at the end, he was still a company executive, yet she had calmly disrespected him, but despite the anger burning through him he could do nothing. Years of being overly cautious had thought him to do anything he wasn't sure of and so he would swallow that day's humiliation. But he would mark today, the humiliation was one he would return a hundred folds.over the moment he got the chance to. A moment Lu Xinya would never give anyone. " My name is Song Fang" " Okay, Mr Song, I have a question on these proposal
Meanwhile in a huge mansion in another part of the city, a man stood by the window, watching the distant waves as he listened to the reports presented by the men who stood in front of him. That man was the current Head of the Hidden Gu family. The colossus who had ruled the entire T city for generations and who's name alone struck fear into the hearts of many countries across the world. Xanfeng Gu, the current Head of the Gu family and elder brother to Max, was known in the hacker world as Fade. he was the only one in the world who could operate using the Gu family's insignia. However at that moment, he looked nothing like the stern family head, instead he had the demeanor of a father looking out for his young daughter. "You mean to tell me that she agreed to marrying the brat from the Feng family?" He spoke up, his dipleasure showing."Yes master" one of men responded.Xanfeng Gu sighed,
It was another busy morning in A university, new students walked around completing their registration. Many students milled around the admission offices, doing what should be done. Lu Xinya walked into the admissions office with her files. She had an admission into a double major in the school thanks to her father. She would study Business Management as her first major and Computer Science as her second major. Because A university had a strict no double major in first year, she was expected to meet up with the Deans of the two departments to convince them of her ability to handle the two courses. 'Convince them', Lu Xinya smirked, how about she tell them that she had signed deals with some of the biggest companies in Country T and Country H or that she'd hacked into one of the most secure databases in the world to play a game of cat and mice with the members of the Hacker Alliance but unfortunately, she did not want to draw much attention to herse
