Chapter 656 - Town Behind The Dark Woods.
\'I will be getting on the board soon. Be good and not mischievous in my absence. And pay attention to your meals.\'
Li Xue read the dinged message on her phone, rolling her eyes at it while puffing out the cheeks childishly. "Am I a kid who does mischief? And who is he? My mother, to set such guidelines for me". She vented internally while typing the reply for his message before knocking on the door and entering Lin Xinyi\'s office in the company.
"Good afternoon, Sister Xinyi. May I come in?" She asked with a smile, keeping the door pushed open to show her arrival.
"You are here. Please come in and take your seat". Lin Xinyi responded equally to her politeness, before getting back to look into the files she was reading before. "I have talked in Aurora Fashions yesterday and as we have expected their spring season fashion launch will only happen after the New Year. But before that they would still want you to frequent your visits to them, so that they can take your measurements and profile\'s test looks."
She explained, still reading through the files and Li Xue nodded to her words, understanding her work well.
"So, when will I have to visit them, Sister Xinyi?"
Lin Xinyi heard her ask. Looking up at her while closing the file in her hands, she said, "I have asked Xiao Meng to prepare your schedule. Wait for her to come and you will know. Congratulations, the press conference yesterday came to our favor. There is a positive response from the public and also, we have been monitoring your social media account. The upgrowth of the new followers and your popularity there, is not bad to start with. I hope it will get more better after your first work".
The manager said. As known, she has been perfect with her work, knowing all well the fields that would need their concern first and what could be put on the halt. Though less experienced in her job, she was way too experienced in the stream, after all, she was the one in the decades to achieve the \'Chiboa\'s Supermodel Perfectionist Award\'. It was a pity that just after receiving the award, she left the industry anonymously.
"Apart from that, take this file with yourself today. These are a few brands which have not chosen their brand face yet and will start the auditions soon. The details about them and their products are already mentioned in this file, check it well and mark the ones you will be interested in. I will help you to get the token for their auditions". Lin Xinyi added, extending the file forward.
Li Xue looked at the file, before taking it in her hands. "I will do it. Thanks for arranging this for me, Sister Xinyi".
"That was my job. Furthermore, I have not done much. I have just prepared a few resources to stabilize your footing back. Now, it\'s up to you how you take forward those resources. Your success in these brands will be solely dependent on your own merits, so sharpen your merits as much as you can. You don\'t have much time". Lin Xinyi said, clasping her hands on the table with some confidence.
Li Xue nodded. "I will try to bring my best, Sister Xinyi".
At that time, there came a knock at the door before Xiao Meng entered with a cheerful smile. "Sister Xinyi! Sister Xue!" She greeted, bowing slightly before passing the schedule file to Lin Xinyi to inspect.
"Hmm. It\'s good. From now on, accompany Li Xue around whenever she goes somewhere like this" Lin Xinyi said, looking at the young girl while passing the file to Li Xue.
Xiao Meng agreed at once all happily. "It will be my pleasure!"

Elsewhere, in the dim lights of some underground den, a man walked in. "Boss, on your orders, we have been tracing Mr. Qi Shuai from Feng Internationals for a week now. But nothing seemed suspicious around him. He has been as usual and the protection around him is also not tough. But …" The man paused in his words and Pan Hong immediately lifted his head up to look at him.
"But? But what?" He asked and the man hesitated before continuing.
"But currently he is not in the city. He has left for somewhere".
"If he has left for somewhere then go and find him. What are you standing here and giving me the information for? Haven\'t I already said clearly that I just don\'t want his information, I want him dead". Pan Hong said. His eyes, showing the determination of malicious intent he was holding in his heart. Even though so many days have passed since he last met Zhen Qinrou, her words were still fresh in his memories, mocking him both in state of sleep and awake.
The man downed his head with some guilt. "We knew it, boss. But it was urgent that\'s why we have to come to inform you about it".
Pang Hong\'s brows wrinkled. "Urgent? What is it?"
"Boss, currently, the man is travelling to the small town behind the Dark Woods. And …" The man started, but he did not need to continue further because before he could proceed, Pan Hong stood on his feet. His forehead getting creases of worry evident.
"What did you say? Where did he go?" He asked again to confirm his ears, not believing it quite well.
"Boss, he went to the same small town behind the Dark woods where Zhan Lei had executed the accident approx. five years ago. We doubt that he is again out to find our traces there", the informant informed and the feature on the man\'s face grew all tight and clenched.
He remembered all clearly Zhen Qinrou mentioning Zhan Lei being in their base. \'Could it be that he has sprouted out everything from that year? If it had been that way, Zhen Qinrou would get into …,\' he thought internally as several consequences flashed up in his mind, making him go all horrified and worried for the woman.
No, he can\'t let her get into trouble.
"Ready our plan. He should not return back to the city alive. Kill him first, we will deal with other things later.." He commanded, without giving a second thought to his words.
