Chapter 17 - How to ask a favor?  

The moment Xiong Zhi entered the car, she quickly took out her notes and wrote continuously.

Pages turned, a serious and focused expression of his young miss, the driver waited blankly.

'What happened to their young miss? She wrote like mad. Is she upset?'

After a while, Xiong Zhi closed her small notebook and placed it in her jacket's pocket. Then she stared blankly in the air.

The driver waited anxiously.

The truth was Xiong Zhi was thinking and lading out her plan.

The driver could not hold anymore.

"Young miss Zhi, where are we going next?"

Xiong Zhi snapped out of her thoughts.

"Home."

"...." The driver did not expected that.

'Hahaha right, where did I expect young miss want to go in? this late?'

The driver bitterly scolded his self.

Xiong Zhi bit her lips. She was thinking a big HOW in her head.

After a while she called out to the driver.

"Mr. What is your name?" Xiong Zhi said with a serious expression.

The driver gulped. Did his young miss wanted to shut him up about today's matters?

"I-I a-am...my name is Ji Yu." The driver nervously said.

"Mr. Ji, can I ask you something?" Xiong Zhi voice become grim.

The driver speed up, he wanted to go home! He won't pry to his young miss business anymore or made any guesses.

"Can I? " Xiong Zhi asked again. Her face was dark.

The driver was really scared. Did he offend his young miss? Tell me how and when, author!

(A/N: I also don't know.)

Having pressured. The driver muttered 'yes'.

Xiong Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. She was not sure if it was OK to ask something personal to someone you did not know.

"I--how did you ask a favor from someone ?" Xiong Zhi started.

The driver who were sweating stared at Xiong Zhi dumfounded.

'That...that is ...she wanted to ask?! She got me nervous for nothing!'

The driver found himself and focused on driving while answering.

" It depends who you want to ask a favor from, young miss." The driver started.

"Can you please elaborate?" Xiong Zhi leaned forward to the driver seat to hear the driver clearly. The opening statement of Mr. Ji was very true. It seemed like Xiong Zhi would learn a lot today.

Seeing his young miss eagerly wanted to hear whatever he would say, Mr. Ji felt like he was a teacher teaching a very important subject to his student, and that student was his young miss!

He cleared his throat and focused his eyes at the road, with a very serious tone he said,

" As I said it depends on who you are going to ask. Are you close to the person you're going to ask a favor from?"

Xiong Zhi thought about it.

"I don't think so. We just talked once."

"Is the talked good or not?"

Remembering his talked with her,

"I don't know, we both don't compromise."

"So it may be not a good impression. It was like a situation when I ask a favor to one of my seniors."

Xiong Zhi nodded her understanding.

" There are two ways to ask a favor effectively." His hand was in air making a peace sign.

"First, you need to praise him/her. You have to tell his/her good points. Especially their appearances."

Xiong Zhi tilted her head. She could not understand the connection of praising someone to a favor.

There are different matter right?

The driver glanced at Xiong Zhi in the mirror. He seemed to know what Xiong Zhi was thinking so he added.

"Like for example---" he cleared his throat.

" 'Senior, you're very handsome today! What brand you're wearing ? I like to buy too! I really admire you senior. You're such a genius in fashion!? Can I become your fan? Ah, senior this fan of yours really really respect you, that's why I'm a little shameful to ask you a favor, but you are the only capable and the only one that is unmatchable senior. Can you please kindly lend me your beautiful hand? for a moment? ' That's how I usually asked a favor from my seniors and so far, it's all effective." The driver said proudly.

Xiong Zhi nodded understandingly. The way the driver asked a favor sound pleasant to the ears. Even she would help Mr Ji.

"The second?" Xiong Zhi asked. He said there were two ways.

"Oh. The second one is more effective than the other one . Actually it is my plan B. If that person does not persuade by your praises. You just have to give him/her a gift. A gift that he/she cannot reject. And that never fails me. "

Xiong Zhi thought hard. Indeed, giving a gift was more plausible.

"Like a bribe?" Xiong Zhi muttered.

Mr Ji was startled.

"No! It's not! It's a gift! I will not teach young miss Zhi those immoral acts! " Mr Ji denied hurriedly.

(A/N: .....)

Xiong Zhi did not think hard about it. She was actually glad that her problem was solved. She looked at Mr Ji in the mirror and said.

"Thanks Mr. Ji,? you are really reliable. I hope we can have more of this in the future."

Mr Ji swelled up in pride. Their young miss thanked and praised him! She even said she looked forward asking him favor in the future.

'Eh..why does it seems like what I taught to young miss.. She's a fast learner.'

The moment they got at Xiong's mansion, Xiong Zhi opened her laptop and went to the shopping website. She ordered something and wrote the address of her school, TIHS.

Then she slept.

_____________________________

A black Maybach parked at the Xiong's Mansion.

A handsome youth wearing a uniform came out from the car and went in in the mansion.

In the wide living room, he stand at the base of the stairs and waited. No one can see or guess what the youth was thinking at this moment.

The maids who were working were secretly peeking at the dashing man who were standing like a beautiful statue.

They looked at the youth with admiration. They wanted to chat with him while he was waiting. But no one had enough courage to do that.

Then one pretty maid who were in her teens wanted to give it a try. The workers in the Xiong mansion knew that she was the prettiest maid among them, her figure was good too. A beauty like her was comparable to a celebrity. She chose to be a maid because the income was more generous than being a celebrity, her families origin also worked to Xiong, hence , they were loyal to Xiong, their wealth also tied up to those rich family. Besides, her target was working here.

She walked towards her target and smiled sweetly.

"Fenge--Mr. Zhou did you already ate breakfast? We are just having our meal, come.join us."

The maid almost slipped to called the youth by his name intimately.

Linfeng with his sharp sense caught on what this girl wanted to do. Calling by his name? Breakfast? The girl obviously made him as her husband goal.

Linfeng did not like it a bit. But he still need to be polite.

"No need I already ate. Thanks ",He said coldly.

The pretty maid was disappointed. But she did not give up. She acted cute and look pitiful.

"Is that so? I thought we can bond with you. After all, we are all coworkers. We need to get closer to be harmonized."

The girl stepped forward and was about to grind her full b.r.e.a.s.t to Linfeng's arm when a cold voice sounded above.

"Linfeng, sorry to make you wait."

Linfeng quickly distance himself from the maid. He looked up to Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi gracefully made her way downstairs. Expression cold, her aura was more chilling than before. Her beautiful eyes squinted to the maid and quickly diverted to Linfeng .

Linfeng expression was still the same. But he could not help to notice the chilling aura from Xiong Zhi's body. Like she was in the bad mood. When his eyes met hers, he sweated.

Those eyes of her were accusing.

'Did I offend her?'

Xiong Zhi walked forward. Her daily habit of staring and admiring Linfeng did not occur today.

Of course, Linfeng who was the subject of every day's torment noticed this.

'She was really upset...to what? To me? What did I do?'

On the way, Xiong Zhi was quiet.

Mr. Ji was enthusiastic this morning. He even greeted the young miss a 'good morning' feeling that his relation to the young miss was closer than before since young miss asked him a 'personal question'. But to his disappointment, the young miss just returned the greet and did not speak or ask him anymore throughout the whole ride. He also noticed that his young miss daily routine of 'you're good today' to Mr. Zhou was absent.

'What happened? Did young miss failed my 'two ways of asking a favor tactic'? Oh no!! I'm dead!!'

Mr Ji dejectedly drove towards the school.

The atmosphere in the car was very gloomy.

Xiong Zhi was truly upset. To what? She did not even know. What she knew was the moment she saw a pretty maid flirting with Linfeng she was agitated. What 's more, when the maid was about to grind her s.e.xy body to Linfeng, Linfeng did not even budge! He just stand there and waited to violate his body by the pretty maid! Maybe he even like it!

Xiong Zhi felt strange. She was mad, upset, and something else...this was the

first time she felt this.

And she did not like it.
