BXBX NOVEL Chapter 30 I Am Greedy
It was early in the morning when Zhou Liying returned to her penthouse. Feeling tired and jet legged because of the long flight, she decided to call it night.
RING! RING!
Zhou Liying woke up due to the loud ringing of her phone. She groaned and picked up the call.
"Hello." Her voice was groggy due to sleepiness.
"What is this Lili? You were asleep till now? Are you all right?" She heard worry and concerned-filled voice of Zhou Bingbing from another side of the phone.
"I am all right. Last night, I went for a surprise visit to the company. That\'s why I slept late." She replied and sat on the bed. She checked the time on the wall clock.
"You started to work from the first day itself." Zhou Bingbing chided and shook her head on the other side of the phone. "By the way, I am standing at the door of your penthouse. Can you open it for me?"
"Wait for a minute." Zhou Liying stood up from the bed. After wearing her sleeper, she made her way toward the door and opened it for Zhou Bingbing.
She gave Zhou Bingbing the pin to her penthouse.
"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" Zhou Liying walked toward the kitchen and served herself a glass of water.
"I am here to take you to my fashion studio with me. You are here for the first time. I so want to show you my workplace." Zhou Bingbing beamed, and Zhou Liying groaned. "Can\'t we go there some other day? I want to visit my company."
"No." Zhou Bingbing stubbornly declared. "Your company can wait. You will be coming with me today and that\'s final."
"Ok, but I will not stay with you for long. I need to visit the company. I want to see the working culture of the morning batch."
"I will not waste much of your time." Zhou Bingbing smiled. "Now go and get ready."
After getting ready, Zhou Liying ordered Min Yue to go to the company and to check on everyone in her stead. She then followed Zhou Bingbing to her fashion studio.
Zhou Bingbing and Zhou Liying arrived at the Central mall where the Candid studio of Zhou Bingbing was located. The central mall was the biggest mall in the city and her studio was located in one of the prime locations.
"Your studio is huge." Zhou Liying impressively looked at the studio of Zhou Bingbing.
"Yes, it is. And why not, I am one of the best designers in the city." Zhou Bingbing beamed with pride and pulled Zhou Liying inside her temple, her workplace.
"I should give you the credit for this studio."
"Please don\'t start with your story again." Zhou Liying groaned and walked toward the dummies with dresses designed by Zhou Bingbing.
Zhou Bingbing was always thankful to Zhou Liying due to whom she was able to accomplish her dreams.
If not for her, Zhou Yonge was hell-bent on making Zhou Bingbing the heir of his company. It was Zhou Liying who took the load of the company on her shoulders. It was her who pursued Zhou Yonge to let Zhou Bingbing achieve her dreams.

Zhou Liying was looking at the dresses designed by Zhou Bingbing with much attention. She was very impressed with her cousin.
"I don\'t know, why don\'t you like your dresses? Why buy dresses from some other brand when you are so good."
"You know the answer, then why ask me?" Zhou Bingbing spoke nonchalantly. "Now tell me, do you like any dress? Should I pack one for you?"
"No need." Zhou Liying shook her head. "My crazy cousin has bought many dresses for me back in London. I don\'t need any more…."
"Hey, I am not crazy." Zhou Bingbing rebuked, and Zhou Liying laughed, taking the cloth of one of the dresses in her hand.
"Still Lili, do you not need a new dress?" Zhou Bingbing asked again.
\'I am greedy\' was written all over her face.
"I thought I will be able to get some money from your pocket by selling you my dresses at a very high price." Zhou Bingbing grinned with greed. "Look at this dress, don\'t you like it?"
"No, BingBing, I don\'t like any." Zhou Liying chuckled. "Now stop dreaming of getting any cash from me, at least not for today. I am in no mood for shopping."
Zhou Bingbing pouted and pulled on the sleeve of dress shirt of Zhou Liying.
"Come, let me show you my masterpiece."
Zhou Bingbing then pulled Zhou Liying toward a corner of her shop with wedding dresses displayed there. She loved to design, more than anything she loved to design wedding dresses, especially now when she was going to wear one very soon.
"Mesmerizing." Zhou Liying commented and looked at a wedding dress displayed in the centre of the room. She walked toward it with mesmerised eyes.
"Gorgeous isn\'t it? It is one of my best designs so far. I have worked very hard to design it and then stitch it…" Zhou Bingbing started to praise her dress, telling Zhou Liying about all the work she did on this dress.
"I plan to earn millions by selling this dress. I can\'t wait to see this dress getting sold." Zhou Bingbing squealed.
"I didn\'t know you were so greedy." Zhou Liying commented. "It\'s such a beautiful design. Why don\'t you wear this dress for your wedding?"
"I have some other design in my mind for my wedding dress. Come, let me show you some more dresses." Zhou Bingbing took hold of Zhou Liying\'s hand and pulled her toward her workshop.
Zhou Bingbing proudly displayed her workshop to Zhou Liying. Her eyes were wide with excitement, she was telling Zhou Liying everything about the process using which dresses were made.
Zhou Liying was not at all interested in hearing the process, but she still stayed calm out of respect for Zhou BingBing and her love for her work.
