The Eternal Phoenix Queen

Eps. 29: Office Pet

The office building of Xize Company was horrendous with the presence of a beautiful blue-haired bird. During these two days, Shen Yi brought Feng Shang's incarnate phoenix to the office. Feng Shang obediently perched on his shoulders, or perched on a table when the man was busy taking care of his work.

Feng Shang had always paid attention to Shen Yi every time. After observing, he would usually babble, more precisely lecturing Shen Yi who he thought was very slow. Feng Shang compared the way Shen Yi worked to the way she worked, and it was indeed different.

As a president, Shen Yi was strict, but sometimes he liked to rush. His hobby scolded the other directors and nagged at Zhang Bi, then threw every dossier he felt was wrong. It happens repeatedly, even up to five times a day.

Today, Feng Shang was also brought to the office back. Shen Yi took him to the meeting room of the directors, which was a rutinant important event held by Xize. This time, Shen Yi invited thirty directors of partner companies and ten members of Xize's board of directors. Located on the fourteenth floor, the meeting took place with discussions around the company's development and plans ahead.

From near the window, Feng Shang sat quietly like a statue. The directors present asked why President Shen had brought a bird into the room, but then they were made silent after Zhang Bi informed him that the bird was Director Feng's pet that was deliberately tucked into him.

The directors also knew Feng Shang. Business news recently provided information that Lingjing has a new chief director and there is a major renewal at the company. They also heard news of the events at the Meng Family exhibition, about Director Feng teaching his oppressors a lesson.

Lingjing is a big company. Feng Shangs image as a strict and resolute new director had raised the view that her figure was a great and talented young lady. The directors did not dare to ask further why Director Feng had left his pet to Shen Yi and what was the relationship between them. Because all this time, they had no idea that Feng Shang was staying at Shen Yi's house.

Of course, they did not dare to offend Xize let alone Lingjing. Their company was not as big as Lingjing and Xize, so there was no need to look for trouble. Feng Shang who knew that so wanted to laugh, it turned out that the guts of some humans on earth were so small. It is fitting that their business is rarely developed, they themselves do not want to take risks.

The meeting ended with applause and an intercompany MoU. The directors then rushed out from there, towards the dining place that the company had provided. Feng Shang again perched on Shen Yi's shoulder, wagging his tail and shaking his head. He said, “I'm bored,” in the voice of a bird.

Shen Yi had just sat herself down in her soft chair, but suddenly the voice of a quite loud woman sounded closer and closer.

“President Shen!” yelled the woman.

From behind the door, a woman wearing a light blue longdress walked in while carrying something. Her hair was long and her face was smeared with a little make up. Her lips were thin, her eyebrows were curved brown and her cheeks were slightly pink. It is quite natural and fits well with its slender posture.

Shen Yi was on guard. The look on her face turned flat as the woman approached her desk. Shen Yi was eager to have a rush now just to avoid this woman. Feng Shang in the form of his phoenix watched carefully, probing and figuring out who this woman was. He's never seen it before.

“Xixi, Why are you here?” asked Shen Yi ketus.

Mu Xixi, the beautiful young blue dress lady, was the daughter of Director Mu Lingzhi, one of the directors of the company she worked with. Shen Yi and Mu Xixi were in high school and were in the same class. They split up while in college, then reunited a few years ago.

Mu Xixi liked Shen Yi and continued to pursue her for many years. Because she was the daughter of a director, her potent nature often caught Shen Yi off guard. Because of that woman, Shen Yi was once misunderstood as a jerk and almost beaten up just because she rejected Mu Xixi's club invitation.

Despite always being rejected outright, Mu Xixi shamelessly always came to revoke her. Feeling guilty, Director Mu then sent his daughter abroad, but Shen Yi did not know that she had returned to Cheng City. He even went with his father to the directors meeting.

Mu Xixi was faceless and thick-pocketed. The woman often made Shen Yi uncomfortable because her behavior was so annoying. Mu Xixi declared the true relationship that never happened between her and Shen Yi, making rumors sticking up and affecting Shen Yi's reputation. Now, that woman came here.

“Have not met for a long time. Shen Yi, you're getting good-looking!” mu Xixi said happily.

If Feng Shang was in a human form now, he would have already vomited. Mu Xixi's words sounded so disgusting in her ears. Since long ago, the woman must be good at maintaining honor, be it in the realm of heaven or mortal nature. Women abstain from expressing feelings openly and very should not say carelessly. This woman, seems to know no principles.

“Provided,” said Feng Shang.

Shen Yi put on her stone face. Really, he's sick of it. He glanced at Zhang Bi, but the secretary and his assistant were even raising their shoulders.

“I asked what are you here for?” Shen Yi repeated her question.

Mu Xixi was not affected. The woman looked at the blue bird perched on Shen Yi's shoulder, then was curious. Mu Xixi noticed him, trying to touch him. Feng Shang instantly pecked at the back of Mu Xixi's hand so hard that the woman's skin turned red. Shen Yi felt annoyed and angry, then said firmly, “Do not touch my stuff!”

Feng Shang is allergic to the touch of strangers. Its soft and beautiful fur can not be soiled by unclean hands that have touched many impurities. The Heaven Empress could not be touched carelessly. Her fur and skin were precious, far more precious than gold boxes anywhere.

Feng Shang reflexively pecked at Mu Xixi's hand as he also wanted to teach the woman a lesson. Feng Shang pointed out that Shen Yi was not a person who could be carelessly seduced. Let the woman know that she is nothing more than a lowly woman who uses all the tricks to seduce men.

“Shen Yi, why are you keeping this ugly bird? Look, the back of my hand hurts being pecked by its beak!” whining Mu Xixi. Feng Shang scolded, he chirped at Mu Xixi.

It could be seen that Mu Xixi was provoked by emotions. He placed the parcel on the table roughly, then walked out of Shen Yi's room with big strides and was stomped. Several employees who passed by him stared strangely, wondering what he had done until President Shen threw him out.

Mu Xixi was furious. He felt humbled, even defeated by an ugly bird of unknown type. Abroad when her father sent her, no one dared to her. They will approach him and try to be his friend. But even Shen Yi, after all these years had passed, remained unapproachable. His heart is hard.

Meanwhile, Shen Yi leaned her back against the back of the chair. The meeting of the directors made him exhausted, coupled with serving Mu Xixi who had always pursued him for many years. Shen Yi only wanted to live in peace and enjoy her work. Can't he get that for just a minute?

“Xiao Shang, do you think I should get married so that Mu Xixi doesn't bother me anymore?”

Feng Shang pecked at Shen Yi's hand. He said marriage was not the solution. Even though Shen Yi was married, it was not impossible for Mu Xixi to keep chasing after her. After all, if you want to get married, which woman would want to marry a president like him? His rival alone was already a Mu Xixi, not to mention Director Jiang Li, not to mention those unknown women of his identity, who admired Shen Yi from afar.

“I think you better castrate yourself,” said Feng Shang with his bird voice.

Somehow Shen Yi felt that this bird was mocking her. Feng Shang was placed on the table, then Shen Yi held his head and looked at him with a frown. His sharp eyes scoured into the eyes of the Feng Shang bird, piercing through to the heart of the heart. Feng Shang tried to break away, the heat within his body reacting again.

Feng Shang shook his tail until it bloomed, then flew around Shen Yi's study. The heat in her body was reduced a little. He should have known that every time their eyes stared at each other sharply, the reaction of the body would recur and he should have been able to prepare himself.

“Hah, the behavior is exactly the same as Feng Shang,” Shen Yi said.

The man was still leaning on his chair, watching the blue phoenix fly like a heated worm. However, the flapping of the wings gave off a spiritual aura, until the room felt cool and comfortable even though the AC was turned off. Feng Shang flew in an indeterminate direction, almost hitting the door. The door opened, displaying the figure of Zhang Bi who had just returned from the lower floor. He was shocked when his face almost got hit by Feng Shang's leg.

“How?” ask Shen Yi.

“Master, Miss Feng did not come to Lingjing's office for these two days,” Zhang Bi replied.

Shen Yi massaged his forehead. The woman left without saying goodbye, making Shen Yi a little worried. He thought Feng Shang went home and went to the office. But in fact the woman was not there. If he's not at home and in the office, where is he going? Shen Yi was worried that the woman was lost, because she knew Feng Shang was not good at memorizing the path.

She was worried that the woman was in big trouble. In this Cheng City, the Feng and Lingjing Families had many enemies. Xize also had many enemies. It did not rule out the possibility that the enemies were plotting to harm or bring him and Feng Shang down. Shen Yi could still deal with it, but if Feng Shang was alone out there, he was afraid that the woman would not escape.

“President Xiang also many times came to send gifts,” added Zhang Bi.

“Gift? Does he want Feng Shang?” shen Yi asked in a tone that rose by an octave.

“I don't know, Sir. Secretary Jingjing had already expelled him many times, there was even a quarrel between President Xiang and Miss Feng Ling.”

Feng Shang in his bird form only listened intently. Interestingly, it turns out there was an incident like this when he was not around. It was a pity that he could not watch the drama and commotion. If he's there, he can add a little spice until the fight becomes more interesting and more exciting.

Shen Yi's face was not happy. His heart did not like it if anyone else tried to get close to Feng Shang no matter what the reason. Moreover, the man was Xiang Sun, his rival for many years. He who had finished his rival's habits did not want Feng Shang to fall into his hands.

“Xiang Sun dreaming too much!”

“Then, next what, Mister?”

“Find Feng Shang! Even if you have to travel around the world, you have to find that stupid woman!”

His tone was very firm and without comment. In an instant, Zhang Bi had already dashed out. But that's not his job. Seeking Feng Shang should be the duty of Shen Yi's other subordinates. But because of his loyalty, Zhang Bi was willing to be told.

“Shen Yi is stupid, you won't find me anywhere!” said Feng Shang, while again perched on Shen Yi's shoulders.
