Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

“Yeye?”

Han Zixin opened the door to find his grandfather watching some cartoon series on the television as usual. His grandfather had been living his life the way he always wanted to. When Han Zixin was in university, his grandfather would go abroad for a few months each year.

Han Qian would spend his time with his eldest grandson and travel on his own. But when it was his younger grandson’s holiday time, he would go to him. When Han Zixin got a job, he began staying with his grandson because he decided that he needed stability. However, it was not possible. Han Zixin got more transfers than anything.

“You brought me a cake, “His grandfather narrowed his eyes at him. “You are getting transferred again, aren’t you?”

Each time, he would begin adapting to a place, his grandson would come with a cake to appease him and throw the bomb on him that they were moving. He was too familiar with the younger one’s way of life.

“Yeye, can’t I bring you a cake for just any other reason?” Han Zixin asked as he took a seat near the old man.

The old man harrumphed. “You got transferred too many times this year already. I wonder what you even do?”

“I got promoted twice this year too, “He smiled.

“Wait, you got promoted?” He gasped.

“Deputy Chief of crime branch, An City headquarters, “Han Zixin informed.

“Pinch me, “The old man said. He shouted when Han Zixin pinched him too hard. “You are finally transferred back home. Good. Good. Let me post a status that my good grandson achieved something great again.”

“No, Yeye, “Han Zixin took the phone from the old man’s hand and added, “Not now. Let me officially get promoted and transferred first. After that, you can show off your grandson’s progress to the world.”

The old man pouted but agreed. He was too happy to mind anything right now. After a while, he said, “At least, let me inform Nanxian. He is your older brother and he should know first.”

“It will be the middle of the night there, “Han Zixin sighed. “Why disturb him now?”

The old man rolled his eyes. “He said it doesn’t matter if it’s a tornado, earthquake or tsunami, I can call him anytime. He will take my call.”

“Still, Yeye, your good grandson works all day, you should not disturb him now. He gets a fixed amount of sleep and what if he is not able to fall back to sleep after you hang up the call? Isn’t it better to call when he is awake?” Han Zixin reasoned.

“I wonder when you became so sensible, “Han Qinyan muttered.

“I have always been sensible, “Han Zixin added. “I have a half day off. Do you want to go shopping? We may have to prepare to move.”

“Oh, right. Right. We have so many things to do before leaving.”

…..

“Director Shen?”

Shen Yue asked as she raised her brow and looked at an anxious secretary entering her office. “What’s happened?”

“The hotel construction in Gumei village is stopped as two people died when the wall fell on them. Ten are injured. An ambulance took them to the hospital. Media is covering the matter, “The Secretary notified her.

“Contact Director Lu. The project falls under his supervision, “Shen Yue immediately said. “I will contact the legal team first. We can’t afford any scandal at this moment.”

The employees in her team began running here and there to control the damage. It was not the first time something like this happened but this time law authorities were involved and people came out voicing that the construction company hired by Orchard Group of Hotels used cheap materials to reduce costs. Not just this, some journalists were even saying that the workers of the construction company were overworked and they couldn’t run because of exhaustion and weakness when the walls began weakening. The fault of the construction company fell on the Hotel company because they didn’t bother to check about the workers’ condition.

“Director Lu is coming to the office, “Secretary informed Shen Yue and the latter sighed in relief. ” He called for a meeting.”

A limited edition car stopped at the doors of Orchid groups of hotel head office and a man in a navy suit came out. His aura bedazzled everyone. The reporters soon recovered from his aura and instantly swarmed him to raise questions.

“Director Lu, is it true that you use cheap materials and caused the death of two persons?” The reporter asked the first question. It was as if the construction company was run by director Lu.

“Director Lu, what justification are you going to give?” Another person questioned him.

“Director Lu….”

More and more questions were asked. One more ridiculous than the other. Even before the verdict was out or the investigation would begin, the media had deemed Director Lu a criminal.

“You are seeing Director Lu Xuan, the heir of Orchid Group of Hotels ignoring the media and their questions once again. He is known for his arrogance in the industry. His contempt for the media knows no bounds, ” The journalist was doing a live broadcast outside the office. “Today his arrogance caused the death of two people. The police are investigating the matter. Soon, we will be able to reach a conclusion. Hopefully, the culprit will be arrested and justice will be provided.”

“Director Lu, “His assistant reached him and bowed his head.

“Throw them out, “Lu Xuan said without turning his gaze from the way. His dark shades were hiding the anger in his eyes.

“What?” The assistant felt as if he didn’t hear anything right. Director Lu couldn’t be asking him to throw the journalist out when he should be giving a justification?

“Media. Throw them out. If they don’t leave, sue them for trespassing.” And with this he walked inside, leaving the poor assistant dumbfounded and bitter.

It was no surprise to anyone that Lu Xuan despised the media.
