A MONTH FROM WHENCE Summer Break begun, Feng Mian had only been going from her mansion to Liu's corporation. Even her tower of homework had to be done in Fei Long's office.

Her boss had become rather demanding of her time, discussing almost everything before signing folder after folder. Feng Mian's request for a vacation was even buried and brushed off every time it was mentioned.

"Mr Liu, can you leave my 17th to 23rd of this month?" Feng Mian requested, stopping from her work, her fingers hovered over her keyboard.

Noticing the sudden silence, Fei Long lifted his head, his eyeglasses on top of his nose's bridge. He was completely out of it, reading files after files on his desk. His electric blue eyes turned to Feng Mian and coldly said, "How's the Bluedrop Construction? Mr Barry's demands are always outrageous, while his management is no way better. Still, the construction must begin by the end of this month."

Feng Mian curled her hands into fists, seething with impatience and having the urge to lift up her desktop and smash it onto Fei Long's blockhead. But before she could immerse herself in her bloodlust, she heard her phone buzz and calmness overtook her at once.

On her phone, consecutive notifications of money transfers were sent all across her bank accounts. She then unconsciously said to Fei Long as her eyes and fingers busy fiddling with her phone, "Mr Barry accepted my terms and he should no longer bother us with anything else. After all, it's either his job or nothing."

"Good."

Then another occasion of reminding once again and Fei Long would say, "Have you thought of finding a scholarship program for your Sunshine Orphanage? You should see Polo Rico."

Feng Mian would then get to work in searching it up and booking for appointments, dismissing the thought of discussing her vacation further. At that time, she was grateful for the advise as she would be able to save up some money if the children can be encouraged to apply for scholarship. She didn't want any of them to end up like her who couldn't finish High School in her previous life.

It would be better if they can go even further.

In spite of that, Feng Mian was at a point when she would grab anything pointy and stab it into Fei Long's neck, but she wouldn't want to live being chased by cops for all her life. She knew she wouldn't be able to simply quit either, and half of that was due to her greed in collecting more contacts. And another half of it was Fei Long's trust in her abilities and he just wouldn't let her go. She knew too much and have contributed far too many in Liu Corporation.

Just over the last weekend, a difficult partnership was brought up and Fei Long had to leave for London to discuss the conditions and the legalities. When Feng Mian thought she'd finally be left alone by the leech, the leech himself dragged her in his jet plane. Feng Mian almost went ballistic if it was not for the kind and polite stewardess. Although that was just Feng Mian finding excuses to restrain herself from committing murder.

Once they landed, they immediately met with Mr Barton. Negotiations took 2 hours and by then, Feng Mian had calmed down.

However, she was completely caught off guard when Fei Long revealed they were not coming back for a week.

He said, "If you are going on a vacation, so should I."

"....That's completely reasonable. Well then, you have a good time in London, Mr. Liu." Feng Mian swiftly fished out her phone to book her own flight. She had too many things to manage at home, and that was her intention when she wanted some time off from Liu Corporation. She only needed a week to organize 5 start-ups and several other investments.

"I'll give you 1 billion for a week off."

"5 billion." Feng Mian paused her finger from amidst her tapping.

"2 billion."

"3.5 billion or I'll swim even if I have to."

"...You are ripping me off."

"About time you increase my salary, Mr Liu."

Fei Long sighed, feeling exhausted all of the sudden. When did it ever become his employees' turn to demand terms with him? But it also cannot be denied how small $3.5 billion dollars is if he could have Feng Mian stay in Liu Corporation for at least 2 months, even better for more.

Although it was true that working with Feng Mian was like having two of himself, doubling the revenue and higher success in completing projects, it was also because there rarely was any assistant as easy to get along with as her. On the other hand, he was also aware of Feng Mian's independence and her ambition to reach the highest point of the business world by her own hands.

Fei Long let her be of course, as it would also be even more entertaining if he had a competition.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

He stared at Feng Mian's frost-cold eyes that never seem to thaw and resigned himself to losing $3.5 billion dollars. "I'll have it sent to your accounts..."

"You've made a great decision, Mr. Liu. Now, whereabouts shall we visit first? It's your vacation."

Fei Long frowned, then eventually realizing what Feng Mian meant. He shrugged. "Next time, you can just work in my office for other businesses you need to deal with."

"You are aware your office cannot fly across the country, right?"

"Wherever I am is where your office is."

"That's very arrogant of you. Can you shut up now?"

"$5,000 for respect."

"Please Mr Liu, take your time in choosing wherever you wish to go. Would you like to visit..." Feng Mian searched through her web on her phone before saying, "The Big Ben?"

"Why did you have to search it up when everyone knows about it?"

"Obvious-- Of course it's because I was not aware of it, Mr Liu." Feng Mian caught herself before saying anything rude to Fei Long, causing him so much amusement.

It was usually Feng Mian biting Fei Long, while the latter would simply extend all his patience like a good older brother.

The almost invisible assistant behind them was shedding invisible tears. Master Liu has finally opened his heart to someone even if he is not aware of it... Old Madam.. Master Liu is growing up!

"Lead the way." Fei Long ordered Feng Mian, and for the sake of $5,000 dollars bonus, she grabbed someone else's map, memorized it and returned it to the owner without a word. The owner wanted to shout at Feng Mian, but when her eyes laid upon the beautiful face and murderous eyes, she gulped down her words.

"Alright. You can keep walking straight from here. No matter what, you don't have to turn. If there's a bench, climb over the bench. If there's a person, you kick them away. If there's a building, you climb over them too. Remember all that, Mr. Liu?"

"$4,500 dollars."

"I mean, yes, I'm gonna call a taxi over. Please wait a moment." Feng Mian bit the skin of her mouth, having failed to elicit impatience to the always stoic Fei Long. She had begun to wonder why the man was very patient despite being rumored to only give 10 seconds for people's nonsense before leaving with the wind.

Although admittedly, Fei Long almost dashed her bonus just now.

Feng Mian gathered all her nerves, together with her patience accumulated for a few decades and set herself a plan for the day so she can finally relax in the evening. A taxi was successfully called and the three of them went inside. Both Fei Long and Feng Mian at the back while Fei Long's assistant at the front.

"Where to, Mister?" The driver politely asked in his British accent.

"Westminster, please. We are here to see the Big Ben." Feng Mian answered, looking around outside the window.

"Ah ha! Very well then. I shall be sure to drop you off safely. It's nice to see tourists here."

Silence descended the inside of the taxi, causing the driver to feel uselessly nervous. Did someone die in their family? Why are they so depressing??

Opposite to what the driver was feeling, Fei Long's assistant was still secretly celebrating. Master Liu is actually taking a week-long vacation! This has not happened for 10 years... Oh, Master.. This is a miracle!! Even if you are gay, I'll support you!

Not for long, they arrived at the famous Big Ben. When Fei Long's assistant offered the exact change for the fair, the taxi driver refused with a solemn expression saying, "It's okay. It's okay. Just give my condolence to your family members. I hope they get over this. Life goes on no matter what... Have a good time in London!!" And off he went, leaving the flabbergasted assistant, wondering if the taxi driver was delirious.

He shrugged his head off, following after his Master and Feng Mian whose countenance were so attractive the passersby would take a second look if not three.

"Explain." Fei Long ordered Feng Mian.

Feng Mian fished out her phone and recited from wiki, "Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the..."

"Stop..." Fei Long sighed. "Get us some tickets instead."

"Certainly." And like a capable host, Feng Mian went off and back again in a moment.

Right after, they can be seen being toured around by someone professional.

Fei Long glanced down at Feng Mian who was listening attentively. "You should learn from her."

"And so do you."

"$4,000 dollars."

"Fuck!"

"$3,800 dollars."

"........" Feng Mian decided to keep her mouth shout. If the bonus goes down $2,000 dollars, she promised herself she was gonna ditch Fei Long.

For all that she had secretly planned, Fei Long already vaguely guessed and even intended to restrain the reductions a little. It would be no fun if Feng Mian drowned somewhere in the middle of reaching D City.

Eventually, they were completely enthralled by the sights they were seeing and information they were learning. When it was time to retire for the evening, Fei Long suddenly suggested they walk around St. Jame's Park, and Feng Mian no longer attempted to test his patience. She obliged like a good assistant and led the way herself.

Fei Long was feeling satisfied having conquered Feng Mian for a day, but only his invisible assistant noticed the changes, the huge changes to his usually dark personality. This is the end of the Liu bloodline, but... it's all good if Master can finally have a beating heart... After all, he deserves it for going through so much...

As if Fei Long still had a day's worth of energy, the group walked around in circles. It was truly testing Feng Mian's patience, because she could have earned millions in the time they had walked! However, all these thoughts disintegrated when she saw a familiar white lotus.

She immediately grabbed Fei Long's healthy biceps. "Mr. Liu. I have some business to take care of, so please don't expect me in the hotel this evening."

Not even waiting for Fei Long's response, Feng Mian had begun marching towards A Taj Hotel.

"You'll have no bonus!" Fei Long shouted behind Feng Mian's back. He was feeling quite disappointed for the abrupt stop of enjoying the evening.

Feng Mian waved her hand, shrugging off Fei Long's words. She had greater plans in mind compared to a few thousands of dollars!

Fei Long was very curious of what could have made Feng Mian change her mind. Something even more important than money. His frown deepened.

"Master Liu..." Fei Long's assistant hesitated.

"What?" Fei Long coldly asked, not looking to his assistant, merely following Feng Mian across the park, her shadow slowly disappearing over the crowd of people.

The assistant gulped down his nervousness, and pumped his heart to be braver. "Master Liu... Could it be the Young Master Zhao found someone he has finally taken a fancy?"

Fei Long's brow raised, not believing such a thing could happen. "He never batted when faced with beautiful seductresses in an underground club during the business deal with Mr Montazo, what kind of girl can take his attention in an instant?" Feng Liu lengthily explained, unawares he was talking too much.

"..But... Master Liu... Forgive this one's impertinence but you were also attracted to Miss Ying--"

Fei Long growled and did not hesitate to follow after Feng Mian, his assistant sticking closely behind him and secretly rejoicing. Master Liu cannot lose this chance of finally being with someone he can relax with! I'm supporting you Master Liu~
