The Disguise.

Later that night, Fan Xifeng asked both her father and grandfather that she would like to start working in the company soon. However, she included a condition.

"What do you mean wearing about a disguise?" Grandpa asked her in furrowed.

"Grandpa, I know it's a stupid idea,"

"It is." Grandpa Fan cut her off. Fan Xifeng sighed.

"Grandpa, I ought to start working after the engagement but now, I changed my mind to start early. I wanted to understand the company and at the same time, to be able to help it in the future."

Grandpa Fan sighed. "I know. No one's stopping you. In fact that's even better because you finally show interest in our company instead of working for others. What I'm asking about is the disguise? What is this?"

"Pa, Feng Feng doesn't want to be introduced as anyway related to us. She wanted to start working from the bottom and already told me she will for the meantime work in the company with a different identity." Fan Bin explained for his daughter.

Grandpa Fan on the other hand was eyeing both his son and granddaughter, "What crazy idea?! We could do that if you wanted to hide your identity. That's a good idea as well so you could show people that you have your own skill and ability and not just relying on being a Fan. However, my point," Grandpa Fan slam on the table a little loud, 'is why the need for an ugly disguise?! What crazy thing is this? Fan Bin? Fan Xifeng?!" Grandpa Fan is a good natured man and a good father and the best grandfather, however, he was in the business world for years and in fact was the one who jumpstart Fan Enterprise to a big successful company. In order to remind himself to remain grounded and to always look back on his small beginning, despite Fan Enterprise as one of largest company in the Capital, Grandpa Fan didn't changed its name to a much grandiose one and keep it being as just Fan Enterprise. And he's actually not an easy man to be persuade of any stupid idea he couldn't find a good reason to support to.

"Grandpa, I am not bragging but your granddaughter is very beautiful." Fan Xifeng said seriously that Grandpa Fan and Fan Bin couldn't help their mouth from twitching although they also couldn't deny this truth.

"Even if I work in the company hiding my identity, some people will also think that it's because of my physical appearance. I don't want any issue because of it."

"And so?" Grandpa Fan won't acknowledge.

"Grandpa. Please. Just let me be."

"Your reason is flawed. It's stupid." Grandpa Fan said frankly.

"I know it is. But I have my personal reason."

"What reason. Fan Xifeng."

"Grandpa."

"No. This talk is over. Don't bring it to me again." Grandpa Fan then walked of the study leaving Fan Bin and Fan Xifeng alone.

"Dad." Fan Xifeng called Fan Bin.

Fan Bin just sighed and pinched his nose's bridge. "I told you already. Your grandpa won't allow it. He's right. This is a stupid idea. I don't even know how you could think of this and worst, you were even able to persuade me."

"Dad…."

"Go get a rest now." Fan Bin rubbed his daughters head and walked out of the study as well.

Indeed, her grandpa and father is right. Working in the company on that disguise is actually a crazy idea. However, Fan Xifeng just couldn't give up.

Walking to her room, Fan Xifeng saw Fan Xiaodan waiting for her at the hallway beside her room. "Sis." She heard her greet her with a smile.

'The sulking probably is over.' Fan Xifeng thought. She opened her room and murmured "Come in" to her younger sister.

Fan Xiaodan followed and seated herself on the sofa. "Let's go shop tomorrow."

"Sure." Fan Xifeng readily replied while opening the balcony's glass sliding door. Fresh, cool air entered the room that relaxed Fan Xifeng's stifling feeling.

"Sis…."

Fan Xifeng turned her head to look at her younger sister. She could hear hesitation in her voice. "What is it?"

"Well, earlier, ma and I went to her friend's house."

"Yeah, aunt Lam An-Mei." Fan Xifeng said carelessly.

Fan Xiaodan paused. "How did you know?"

"What do you mean how did I know?" Fan Xifeng asked in surprised, "Xiaodan, you're making me confused."

Fan Xiaodan shrugged her shoulder. "Well we're supposed to go to her other friend, Aunt Bao Huang only to find out she's not at home so we decided to go to Aunt Lam An-Mei instead."

Fan Xifeng paused. She realized, starting from now, she should be careful of what she's going to say next. After all, in as much as she is confused, people other than her doesn't know her situation yet or with the strange occurrences in her life. And she doesn't plan to tell anyone about it.

Fan Xifeng just "Hmm."

"Sis.." Fan Xiaodan once again called out, this time, with a meek voice.

Fan Xifeng approached her on the opulent sofa and sit beside her. "What is it?"

"Would you mind wearing the disguise tomorrow?"

Fan Xifeng paused. "Someone you like will be coming with us tomorrow?"

Fan Xiaodan blushed even more. "No…..no. It's just that,"

"You don't have to explain. I'll be wearing it anyway."

Fan Xiaodan was surprised. "Why?"

"I'm planning to wear that disguise when I start working in the company anyway. So I have to hide my face in case someone sees us tomorrow…. By the way, I'm not yet aware of your plan. When do you want to start working in the company?"

"Well, I don't know yet. I'm still trying to adapt here first before working."

"That's also good."

"Grandpa and papa allowed you?" Fan Xiodan asked.

"You mean with the disguised?," Fan Xifeng asked back. Fan Xiaodan nodded.

"Well, not yet. Papa is okay with it but the final decision would still fall under grandpa. And he doesn't allow."

"I see. Maybe you just need to give grandpa a good reason. Then, I'll go and rest now. Night sis."

Fan Xifeng nodded. "Night."

After Fan Xiaodan left her room, Fan Xifeng moved to lie on her bed.

Her reason of wanting to wear that disguise to work at Fan Enterprise isn't just simply out of whim. Fan Xifeng remembered a memory that during the time when Fan Enterprise suffered from decreased stock, Fan Xifeng realized that for a company who has a strong foundation, it should be hard for outside company to shake considering that Fan Enterprise is one of the largest company in the Capital.

Therefore, Fan Xifeng came up with a hypothesis that someone within the company also was responsible for putting Fan Enterprise at the brink of bankruptcy.

Fan Xifeng hasn't yet come into terms with the strange dream and flashes of memories that serve as a warning of what's about to come in her life but Fan Xifeng also wanted to used this incident as an edge in order to help the Fan Enterprise, her grandma, and also her self.

'That's right, I'm not familiar with him yet but it won't cost me much to help him as well." Fan Xifeng thought remembering Han Ziwei. Her train of thoughts was broken by the sudden ring in her cellphone. Seeing the unknown number, Fan Xifeng no longer waste her time and blocked the number right away.

It's indeed a good thing that Fan Xiaodan asked her to shop outside since she's already planning to buy and changed her phone number.

While Fan Xifeng is thinking about getting another number no longer bothering herself into thinking who might the strange unknown number caller be, on the other side in country J, a handsome man was staring at the phone number flashing on his cellphone's screen above the table.

He heaved a sigh as he closed his eyes and leaned his back at the comfort of his swivel chair. In a while, he opened his eyes, his left brow raised, lips tightly close hinting his little annoyance. The obvious bad mood in his expression added another layer of handsomeness to the man's already outstanding appearance.
